General Development

Hello,

I never used TANGO jDraw tool before and I want to develop an GUI using that. I am using ATK Swing parameter to make my application but when i am trying to generate “JAVA Code Generator” from view menu I am getting an error like “error during java code generation. No such file or directory available”.

Someone can help me please. :slight_smile:

Thank you.

Hello,

The “Java code generation” tools from JDraw can be used if you want to produce a standalone java code which not use Tango ATK to draw a synoptic but not all object types are supported.

The usual way to display a Tango synoptic is to use the SynopticAppli.


java -DTANGO_HOST=your_tango_host fr.esrf.tangoatk.widget.jdraw.SimpleSynopticAppli synoptic_filename

Or if you want to integrate a synoptic within a java application, you can use the TangoSynopticHandler ATK component.



import fr.esrf.tangoatk.widget.jdraw.TangoSynopticHandler;
import fr.esrf.tangoatk.widget.util.*;

  ErrorHistory errWin = new ErrorHistory();

  //..

  JPanel myPanel = new JPanel();
  myPanel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

  TangoSynopticHandler tangoSynoptic = new TangoSynopticHandler();
  tangoSynoptic.setErrorHistoryWindow(myErrWin);
  try {
    tangoSynoptic.setSynopticFileName(jdwFileName);
  } catch (Exception e) {
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"Failed to load the synoptic\n"+e.getMessage());
  }
  myPanel.add(tangoSynoptic,BorderLayout.CENTER);

  //..

  // Example function to display the error history
  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    Object src = e.getSource();
    if (src == viewErrorMenuItem) {
      ATKGraphicsUtils.centerFrameOnScreen(errWin);
      errWin.setVisible(true);
    }
  }

Hope this helps…
