location question w/setVisibleMenuItemCount in JidePopupMenu

Postby ma16 » Mon Jan 11, 2016 10:33 am

Good afternoon all
I had a quick question that I am hoping someone else may have encountered with the latest version of the common library (3.6.12). I wanted to be able to limit the size of the viewable elements of a right click popup as well as have scrolls when there are too many items. To that end i am using a JidePopupMenu with a call to setVisibleMenuItemCount(15). I built a menu with 99 items and what I am seeing is that it builds the scrollable right click menu and only shows 15 elements as i was hoping but the popup appears to always display at the top of my screen. I wanted to see if I was simply not using the method correctly or if anyone else had seen the same issue. I had done some quick debugging and it appears the PortingUtils.ensureOnScreen call in JidePopupMenu.getPopupMenuOrigin(Component,int,int) modifies the y coordinate of the rectangle to be 0. I think it does this because it is looking at the getPreferredSize() and not the getPreferredScrollableViewportSize() but as I said I was only able to look through it quickly and I am not sure if I am using it correctly.

Thank you in advance for any information you can provide
Mike

Here is an SSCCE to demonstrate what i am trying to do

I examined the code and it is more than that. The popup menu was not added to the scroll pane the first time when getPopupMenuOrigin is called. I will have to change the logic here in order to make it working correctly.

Just so you know, this is fixed in the latest 3.6.13 release.

Good morning

Sorry for the late reply but I wanted to say thank you for the information and the update. I got a little sidetracked with other things and have only now just been able to get back to looking at popups. To that end I updated to the 3.6.14 release and for some reason I am still seeing the popups appear at the top of the screen using the same example posted above. The horizontal location seems to be fine if you drag the frame to different locations on the screen but the popup stays stuck at the top of the screen. I am going to try and look at the updated code in a little more detail. I am not sure if I just didn't call the show method properly above, if I missed a method call to configure something, if it is that I am using Java 1.8.0_77 or if it is something else in my environment. If I see anything I will be sure to repost.

Thank you again for the update and sorry for taking so long to reply
Mike

I just wanted to post an update for this. It appears that I am seeing the menu appear at the top of the screen because the adjustPopupLocationToFitScreen(int xPosition, int yPosition) in the base JPopupMenu class is calling to get the preferredSize of the popup. In this case the preferred size is width=115, height=2578. When it sees that the height is beyond the boundary of the screen (in my case 1080 high) it sets the height to zero which puts it to the top of the screen. In the JidePopupMenu class the call in getPopupMenuOrigin(Component invoker, int x, int y) to getPreferredScrollableViewportSize() returns width=115, height=385. The strange thing is the first time I hit the breakpoint the getPreferredScrollableViewportSize() call is returning the preferred size which is width=115, height=2578 (because the first time through the container is null so the container instanceof SimpleScrollPane call is false) but after the first time it returns width=115, height=385. It makes me wonder if I am actually seeing the 3.6.14 version of the library...

That explains what appears to be happening when I run the demo. I will update again if i can figure out a workaround.

Thank you again
Mike

Thanks for the update. Please feel free to let me know if you need me to change something in JIDE's code.

Thank you for the reply. I managed to figure out a way around the issue (after trying 4 or 5 different ways to get around it that didn't work) that I am seeing but to be honest I really don't like how I had to do it. I ended up having to check which method was actually calling the getPreferredSize() method. This is because the adjustPopupLocationToFitScreen call in JPopupMenu calls getPreferredSize() which is always the maximum size of the popup. These methods or parts of them are not accessible so I couldn't simply override them. When I tried to just change the preferred size to be the scrollable size the menu turned out to have tiny wording in it so that didn't work directly. Code wise what I did is extend JidePopupMenu and override the getPreferredScrollableViewportSize() in JidePopupMenu to add storing the calculated scrollableViewportSize. I also overrode the getPreferredSize() call so that it would return the scrollableViewportSize if the adjustPopupLocationToFitScreen is the calling method (this is the part that is really bad coding).

One thing to note is that the first time I clicked the popup the container was null so it used the preferred size. I had to call menu.show(e.getComponent(), e.getX(), e.getY()) twice to get it to work properly on the first click

I have added the code below in case others find themselves in the same predicament but it is with the caveat that this is a horrible way to get around the problem. It would be great if someone were to come up with a better solution that didn't rely on hacky code.
