    <p>For a school project, I need to make a simple paint application that can draw lines, ovals, and rectangles.</p> <p>The assignment specifies that I need toolbar buttons <em>and</em> menu items for each type of shape.</p> <p>I would like to go a little above and beyond, by making the buttons <code>JToggleButtons</code> in the toolbar and the menu items <code>JRadioButtonMenuItems</code>. Furthermore, I want it so that when you select one of the toolbar buttons, it deselects the other ones, selects the appropriate menu item, and deselects the other menu items. Same for selecting one of the menu items.</p> <p>I know I can group any <code>AbstractButton</code> with a <code>ButtonGroup</code>, but I am not sure if this is the right way to go, because though it handles one "group" of buttons just fine, I am not sure it can handle two parallel groups.</p> <p>Doing it without <code>ButtonGroup</code> would mean in each of the 6 event listeners I would have to manually deselect the other buttons, and each pair would call the same code to set the shape type.</p> <p>I could also make two <code>ButtonGroup</code>s, one for the menu, one for the toolbar, but then I also have to duplicate shape type setting code.</p> <p>In either situation, I also run the risk of the menu setting a button which sets a menu item which sets a button, ad infintum.</p> <p>What is the best way to tackle this problem?</p> <p>(Bonus points for being able to solve the problem with the Netbeans GUI designer; It's just easier)</p>

    1. COBonus points for doing it without a GUI designer. You spend your time learning Java which is portable, rather the the IDE which is not.

    2. CO@camickr - I actually prefer to use Textmate and the terminal over an IDE, it's just that the GUI designer makes things go *SO* much faster. My point was that I'd rather solve it in the designer and see how it did it than to struggle through editing the auto-generated code and spending hours figuring out why little things don't work.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
