How do I bring components to front?

Does anybody know, if I have overlapping components like JLabels, how can I choose which one to bring to the front?
In other words, if I have two overlapping JLabels, how can I choose which one gets seen.

I don't know if you can do this programmatically with one call (like the WinAPI setWindowPos and specify the z order and appropriate flag).
Swing components are displayed in the order they are added to the container, with the first component being the top most.

Help bring components to front!

If I have multiple components positioned at the same location, how can I bring one component to front (so you can see it) without giving it the focus?

heres what i'm trying to do:
I have a JList and a JLabel. When the user clicks/drags on the JList, the JLabel will reshape to the location of the cursor.
Right now, the label reshapes correctly, but is BEHIND the JList so you can only see it once you drag well out of the JList. I dont want to hide the JList, but rather have the JLabel appear on top the the JList.

Bring text to front of image

how do i bring text to front of image using dream
weaver?

You would set the image as a background image- that would be
a possible
option. Please remember that the text will not stay static
and will shift
when a viewer resizes the text.
You cannot lose until you give up !!!

How do I bring form fields to the front or back?

I have a document with many form fields/push-buttons in order to create pup-up effects in an info graphic.
So I use fields to create a mouse-over hot spot, and others that pop up. Now, of course, the hot spot must be in front (or on top), otherwise it gets distracted in it's mouse-over function by the popped-up object (image) that lays over it. (The result would look like a flashing effect, as you roll over the hot spot.)
Now how do I arrange the fields?? Ich can arrange images and texts to come to the front or hide behind other objects. But in the form field editing mode there is no such option. Also it doesn't work to just cut and paste them, they re-appear in their former position, often behind the other fields.
Please, help! Thanks, Peder

Thanks, I will give it a try. To "recieve the focus" means being activated / hovered?

The tab order effectively sets the z-order, but if a field is not read-only it will be set to the front if it receives the focus.

The flash clip is always in fron of my drop down spry menu. How can i bring my spry menu to the front?

Hi, Can someone pls help. I could get my dropdown spry menu to be shown as current when it pop outs, it goes behind my flash clip. How can i bring the spry menu to the front?

well this is the embedded code:
<object width="400" height="301">
          <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
          <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
          <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
          <param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=***&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" />
          <embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9959732&server=vimeo.com&show_title=0&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" width="400" height="301" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed>
        </object>
So I think that's ok? For the rest, all I changed in the spry menu is that I multiplied the z-index twice (menu and submenus) by 10. But that can't be the problem...

[AIR] May I catch "bring window to front" event?

Hi,
I wonder who is responsible for bringing windows to front when user click on that window (application contains more Windows components inside). Is it operating system or AIR runtime? Or perhaps AIR runtime send event to operating system which does it? In this case there would be some chance to catch and stop propagation of that event not to let operating system bring that window to front. Am I right? Any idea how to do it?

Method to bring component to front?

Hey all
I am looking for a method that can be used to bring a component to front in my applet. I have a few choice menus that arent showing up and i believe it is because labels are being drawn over them.
The choice menus do not show up at all normally, but they appear just fine if I
setVisible(false) to the labels.
It has always been my understanding that components will show up in the order they are added to the applet. So if the labels are added first, then the menu second - the menu should be on top. However my applet also requires a lot of setVisible(true/false) and I am not sure if that is affecting the layering also. Would setting a component as visible automatically bring it to front, or would it remain where it has been added?
SO, if there is a bring to front method kicking around that would definately solve my problem.
thanks for the help.

If possible could you post your compilable code that simulate your
problem or in short your SSCCE.

Bring movieclip to front

Hi
I have created a image gallery. There's a image scroller, when clicking an image it show large image on the same layer. I insert the image to this layer like this: addImage("image url", x, y, this). addImage is my own function witch works fine. In the begin of code I create movieclip (var controls:MovieClip;). When I'm inserting images to that, I want to bring the movieclip to front. Because that large image is added after the controls, it will be on the top.
How can I bring that movieclip on the top?

Error: "TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null."
First of all I create the movieclip:
var controls:MovieClip;
Then I run that addChild:
addChild(controls); <- Error
Then I insert the images.

How to use Java as a Front-end app

how java application can be used as the Front-end interfaces to Forte based
applications???

Rajiv,
If you have Forte's WebEnterprise product, and Forte version 3.0.G.x or
later, you have the ability to export an IIOP interface for any Forte
service object. In fact, you can go one step further and generate a Java
interface that "hides" the IIOP issues from the developer. The way you do
this is to do the following:
1) From the partitioning workshop, double click on the service object you
wish to expose as an IIOP interface. This will bring up the Service Object
Properties dialog.
2) Off the Export tab, set the External Type drop down to IIOP. If IIOP is
not an available option in the drop down list then you do not have
WebEnterprise install.
3) From here you need to set up the necessary IIOP configuration parameters
(see the documentation for details on the specifics of what the parameters
control).
4) If you want to have Forte generate a JavaBean interface and the necessary
Java classes to be called by your application then make sure you select the
Java parameter at the bottom of the Configuration dialog. If IDL is
selected then Forte will generate a generic IDL interface.
5) When you make your distribution Forte will generate the Java classes for
you.
This mechanism works very well for accessing a Forte service object from a
Java application.
Good Luck!
Jeff Wille

Downloads page from tool has cleared, how do I bring it back?

I tried to check my download list and delete one and the whole page disappeared. how do i bring it back?

Ah, you're on a MAC - I'm afraid that I'm a windows man.
I have seen lots of problem with the latest Yosemite system but I can't really advise you as I think your problem needs system knowledge not just PSE knowl;edge.
It sounds as though the right panel is hiding off screen. Perhaps you need to temporarily change screen resolution to enable you to resize the screen.
Good luck - I hope a MAC person can jump in here.
