Question

I wish to place a small Jframe right above the Button, on ActionPerformed

I directly tried to get the X (getX()) and Y(getY()) co-ordinates of the JScrollPane in which the button is added, but it always seems to return wrong co-coordinates

values returned by jScrollPane1.getLocation()

java.awt.Point[x=10,y=170]

The above values are same independent on where I place the JScrollPane on the screen.

This works if I remove the JScrollPane and directly try to get the Jpanels co-ordinates!!

Answer 1

for example

private void showDialog() {
    if (canShow) {
        location = myButton.getLocationOnScreen();
        int x = location.x;
        int y = location.y;
        dialog.setLocation(x - 466, y - 514);
        if (!(dialog.isVisible())) {
            Runnable doRun = new Runnable() {

                @Override
                public void run() {
                    dialog.setVisible(true);
                    //setFocusButton();
                    //another method that moving Focus to the desired JComponent
                }
            };
            SwingUtilities.invokeLater(doRun);
        }
    }
}
