The loadOTrunk method of otViewerHelper doesn't actually visually show anything. The jpanel passed in is just used so that popup error messages are correctly centered on which ever jpanel the caller prefers.
To actually display something you will need to do a few more steps. If you look at the getComponent method of the OTrunkStep you can see the remaining steps. That method is doing other stuff to so I'll try to pick out just what you need. It would be really nice to have an example class that does just these steps inside of the OTrunk project somewhere. This code doesn't deal with loading in learner data or setting up a view mode. ----------- JPanel panel=new JPanel(); OTDatabase otDB = viewerHelper.loadOTDatabase(getAuthoredDataURL()); viewerHelper.loadOTrunk(otDB, panel); OTObject root = viewerHelper.getRootObject(); OTViewContainerPanel otPanel = viewerHelper.createViewContainerPanel(); panel.setLayout(new BorderLayout()); panel.add(otPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER); otPanel.setCurrentObject(root); ---------- Scott Geoffrey Kwan wrote: > I still can't get preview project to display any content. > > In OTrunkCurnit.java I have tried calling > > otViewerHelper.loadOTrunk(otDb, pasProject.getProjectFrame()); > > and also subsequently tried > > otViewerHelper.loadOTrunk(otDb, > pasProject.getProjectFrame().getContentPane()); > > and then tried calling > > pasProject.getProjectFrame().setVisible(true); > pasProject.getProjectFrame().getContentPane().setVisible(true); > > Then when I click on the preview button and this code above runs, a > new window opens up that is meant to display the project but nothing > shows up in the window.
