Size and position of dialog boxes

how do I set the default size and position of dialog boxes in the GUI editor?
I have tried a lot of things and it don't seem to work
thanks in advance

I don't want to customize them, I just want them to be a specific size and place to start with
right now they show up, either rolled up, in the upper left of my screen if I don't set the locationRelative parameter, or in the center of the screen, rolled up, if I set the locationRelative parameter

How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size?

How can I get the "Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes to open at larger than their default size? I would like them to open at the size they were previously resized like they used to in previous operating systems. They currently open at a very small size and the first colum is only a few letters wide necessitating a resize practically every time one wants to use it. Any help would be appreciated.

hi Prasanth,

        vrkme
        from vbap
        into table it_vbap
        for all entries in it_plant
        where matnr = it_plant-matnr and
              werks = it_plant-werks.

Object Size and Position values not being retained

Hi,
I'm trying to set the size and position of a picture object in a report. This logo, should appear on the top right corner of the report.
The margins of the report are Left - .79 in, Right - 0.79 in, Top - 0.79 in and Bottom - 0.39 in.
The size of the picture object should be 1.574 x 0.79 inches.
I have ensured that File -> Page Setup -> dimensions are in INCHES.
I right click the logo and select 'Size and Position'.
I set 'Y' (distance between top of object and top margin) = 0. This is to perfectly align the object with the top margin.
Now, i set the height of the object = 0.79 inches. Ok the dialog and close.
The strange thing happening is, when i re-open the size and position dialog, i see that the values i set are not being retained.
0.79 becomes 0.810
and
0 become -0.010.
What am i doing wrong here? How can i make sure the values i specify in the size and position dialog are retained.
Thanks.

Ensure File | Options | Layout tab has the following UNMARKED!!!!
Design View
Guidelines
Grid
Preview
Guidelines
Grid
Ensure that "Snap to Grid" is turned off.
Make your grid size larger (.5 inches for example)
What is occurring (I suspect) is that your objects are snapping to the grid - thus changing the position and possibly size due to the Snap to Grid being turned on.

Missing Image Size and Position Data

In AI CS5 the size and position of an image were displayed in the top toolbar when you selected the image. This is missing in AI CS6, how can I get it back?

Well I did discover that what I need is called "Transform" but it's already checked in the menu you suggested. In fact EVERY box is already checked in that menu, and checking or unchecking them from that menu has absolutely no affect on anything anyway.
I found that I can expand one of the menus from the right side, and the "Transform" box is there, and that's fine. But that data (object size and position) was very useful when displayed on the top toolbar in CS5. Any idea how to make it appear in the top toolbar? It will un-dock (and is very difficult to re-dock)

Restoring the window size and position of Disk Utility

I took my mac-mini to a memory upgrade this afternoon, and the guy, who was testing the new configuration of my mini, started, and changed the size of the disk utility window. I hate so much if someone tweaks my personal stuff/setting in their image so much, that I could explode! How can I restore it to the default size and position? I cannot find anything about this on the net, and this is the only setting, I could not restore.

I'm sorry, ignore that Applescript Snippet, use this one instead (make sure to open disk utility before you run it!):
tell application "System Events"
          tell process "Disk Utility"
                    set theSize to size of window 1
                    set theNiceSize to (item 1 of theSize) & "x" & (item 2 of theSize) as string
display dialog theNiceSize
          end tell
end tell

Can you change the units used for size and position in layout editor?

Hello,
In Aperture 3.4, does anyone know if you can change the units used for size and position in layout editor? The page is set in inches, but the image size and position are given in centimetres and I would prefer to work all in inches to create custom layouts. I can't see any way to change this. If anyone knows how it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Aperture uses the unit settings defined in the System Preferences. Set the "Measurement Units" in the "Region" tab of the "Language & Text" preferences to "US"; the Aperture will display the Size & Position in inches, if it is the "Book" layout manager you are asking about.
Merry Christmas!

Is there a way to remove the size and position readout when moving Lines in Keynote?

When moving the endpoints of lines while creating a presentation, a size and position readout appears on the screen. This obscures details below it, often making it difficult to precisely position a line. Is there a way of disabling this? The option in Preferences for disabling this readout for objects does not work for lines. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

I will tell him about that, but I don't think that would be it if that is related to animation.
We're talking about the wallpaper background that get blurry during the phone screens like http://www.tekrevue.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/20130923_ios7emergencycallfla w.jpg (left side) and http://i.i.cbsi.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim2/2013/09/20/ChangingYourTheme.png ... You can see there are background images that got blurred out.

Aarrrghh - can't find image size and position in captivate 8!

I was using Captivate 8 and it was under a tab in properties (don't remember the name of the "sub-tab").
Now, I'm using a newly downloaded version and cannot find size and position (x, y, width, length, etc.).
This should NOT be so hard
Any suggestions?

Totally agree, don't like the UI change neither. One of the reasons I'm happy to know all moving and resizing shortcuts by heart, they still work in CP8. But wouldn't it be wonderful to have rulers?
Shortcut Keys: Moving and Resizing Objects - Captivate blog
It is not as simple neither, because it is in a different location for a normal and for a responsive project.
For the normal project it is under the Options tab, for responsive projects you need the Position panel, both for Size and Location.

How to set the size and position of JFrame

hey all,
i have a frame and i devide the frame into three panels, i want to make the top panel the lergest and make it square. and the rest two panels in small and in the bottom of the frame.
could you please help me to set the size and position of the jpanel
Thanks

If u want the bottom 2 panels to be on the same level, u can try setting ur content pane to use the BorderLayout and the adding the 3 panels to it with BorderLayout.NORTH(for the TOP panel), BorderLayout.EAST(RIGHT panel) and BorderLayout.WEST(for LEFT panel).
Don't know if this is what ur looking for, maybe u could describe more on ur layout with a sample image or something?

HELP! Controlling size and position of new window from applet

I am totally new to using java. I am making use of a java applet for showing images. Each image may be clicked to open a higher res image in a new window. I want to be able to control the size and position of the new window. The windows need to be different sizes for each image - a couple may be the same size but some will be different.
I found this:
<<<<Yes it can (but not after the window has been created). JavaScript can open documents in a new (or an old) window with eg.
<script>
window.open("document.url", "window_name", "toolbar=no,statusbar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=600,height=400");
</script>
The new window will have only the title bar and the frame around the document, nothing else.
That can be made a function and called from an applet through liveconnect.>>>>
from a search re window sizes but I need more explicit help with how to put it into my document! This looks like it might work with the exception it doesn't give a position but I could even live without that.
Am I correct in assuming tha this script goes in the <head> of the document? If I have several different sizes, I would need to have several different but similar scripts but with different window names?
Do I substitute the actual url where it says "document.url"? What about "window_name"? And what does liveconnect mean?
Here is a sample from the applet coding I have in place:
\\\\\<param name="image2" value="barneygargles_th.jpg">
<param name="link2" value="http://www.barneygargles.com">
<param name="statusmsg2" value="Barney Gargles Family Restaurant">\\\\\
Please, I hope someone can help with this! This is driving me crazy!
Thanks to anyone who can walk me through this one!

How to incorporate File name and timestamp automatically into select and save file dialog box?

Hello,
i am trying to incorporate the file name which is inputed by the user along with the timestamp into the selected and save file dialog box. Can you help?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can pass a default file name to the 'File Dialog' Express VI.
Use the 'selected path' output to open the file.
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T
If you don't hate time zones, you're not a real programmer.

Set specific size and position of preloader's empty movieclip on main stage

hey, just wondering if it's possible to script an external preloader's empty movie clip to be of a specific size and position on the main stage? here's the script i've got for the preloader so far:
var my_pb:mx.controls.ProgressBar;
my_pb.mode = "manual";
this.createEmptyMovieClip("Portfolio", 999);
var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadStart = function(target_mc:MovieClip):Void {
    my_pb.label = "LOADING: " + target_mc._name;
mclListener.onLoadProgress = function(target_mc:MovieClip, numBytesLoaded:Number, numBytesTotal:Number):Void {
    var pctLoaded:Number = Math.ceil(100 * (numBytesLoaded / numBytesTotal));
    my_pb.setProgress(numBytesLoaded, numBytesTotal);
my_mcl.addListener(mclListener);
my_mcl.loadClip("Creative-Outrage_External.swf", Portfolio);
thanks in advance.

i could load the movies that way or if i tell my main movie to load the same preloader in an empty movieclip, instead of on the main timeline. however, this way it all looks great, but the buttons on the main timeline won't respond to user events from the external swfs.

[GeForceFX] WDM video capture image size and position

Hello to all.
When I do video capture with my MSI FX5900-VTD128, the picture is not centered correctly and not at the right size either.
Let's take for example that I want to record TLC. I always get a black vertical bar on the left side of the capture video and the TLC watermark is also missing on the screen. In other words, if I could move video capture screen to the left, I would regain the full video frame.
One of my friend has a different video capture card and he is able to correct the screen size and position. Is this possible with my video card ???
I have a lot of shaded options in my nVidia WDM setup. Things that I cannot change. Any clue on how I can resize my capture video and how to eneble shaded option ???
Thanks !

Man... I have VHS tapes that I want to put on DVD... It reallly does not work... It looks like if the image was zoomed in and a little bit to much on the left...
Does someone know if it is possible to adjust zoom level and image centering on the nVidia WDM capture video screen ???
Need some help here !

Size and position of Finder Window at reboot

I realize this issue has been covered, but I haven't been able to find and answer to my specific problem. Recently I have noticed that when I reboot my MacBook(10.6.8) the Finder Window opens in its default size and position. I set the size and position as required and it maintains that setting until I shut down. The next time I boot up the same thing happens, finder window is back to the default setting. All other settings(view etc) are OK, it's just the size/position that doesn't hold at shutdown. This is becoming a real nuisance and I would like to find a fix if possible. I have trashed the finder.plist and that doesn't work. Also tried some of the listed possible cures, to no avail. Does anyone have a fix for this problem?
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

Size and position of Safari windows

I don't think anyone's noticed the problem discussed at the end of a thread, outlined here:
K H N Lim, "Enlarge Window Size" #3, 01:44pm Jul 28, 2005 CDT
It's a problem a lot of people (okay, four of us) are having. Quick summary:
"I launch Safari, resize the window and position it at the upper lefthand corner. Quit Safari and relaunch. Initially the window stays put, but after a while, the position shifts. And keeps shifting more and more toward the right of the screen with each subsequent launch."
I've had the same problem and it makes it hard to switch from one app to another, with Safari shifting all over the screen and refusing to remember how it was positioned from launch to launch. Any ideas what's up?

I used to be bugged by this too. Then I saw a message from someone who suggested the following applescript (with changes to coords to match your screen size and position you want). Mine is set for 1600 x 1024 resolution on my 22" cinema display. The coords are for top left corner and bottom right corner of the Safari window.
Make a new bookmark, i.e. press COMMAND-D
Specify that it should go in the bookmarks bar.
Go to the bookmarks screen in Safari.
Find the bookmark.
Select the name (left side) and edit it to something like Window Position.
Select the URL (right side) and paste in (without the quotes)
"javascript:self.moveTo(190,0);self.resizeTo(1150,995)"
Close the bookmarks window/screen.
Click on "Window Position" in the bookmarks bar and the window will resize to specified size and position.
