Active desktop component

My java applet does not display on WinXP desktop on setting it as active desktop component. I have set the .html file containing the applet as active component.
Otherwise the browser shows the applet fine.
please somebody help me.

Well : Double-post can sometimes bring more results, but people generally don't like this point of view... Althought, I suppose you perhaps just failed to retrieve your own post ;)
Because I am still looking for a soluce to this damned problem too, there will be nothing more there, but in case of, here is your other post about this problem :
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3840323
I must add that I have myself written in a thread about this problem; the thread is initially about the conversion Image > BufferedImage and contains the code of the applet I am trying to make work as an active desktop...

Thanks to all those who begin to feel lost in all these threads : I hope we'll be more efficient the next time we'll have to ask for some help !

  • Applet as active desktop component

    My applet is running fine in a browser window, but on setting it as active web component on Win XP desktop it displays nothing more that a grey area. do we need some additional code here?
    can anybody help me ?

    Hello : Sorry but I cannot help you; I have the same problem with my own applet, and I am still looking for a soluce, like you : One thing is sure, it is possible to do it; In fact I have tried with some well known applets :
    http://www.kylyria.net/kylyria_tutorial/tutorial.htm
    ( Snif : The code for the applets linked are not given ! )
    I just still don't understand why theirs are working, and not ours...?

  • Applet woes on Active Desktop

    Has anyone had any luck creating an applet that you display on the active desktop? I created a simple applet that runs on my desktop as an active desktop component. It stopped working and I can't figure out why. It works perfectly if you open the html with Internet Explorer, but if you open the Active Desktop item, it doesn't work at all.
    It use to, but something has changed and I can't figure out what it is.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks, paul

    I ran a different applet that I had created and it worked perfectly. I am completely stumped. It looks like everything is working when you open in Internet Explorer, but it doesn't work as an Active Desktop Item.
    Also, there is one other problem that could be the cause. I will post that in another topic. Thanks!

  • Active dektop Component

    My applet is running fine in a browser window, but on setting it as active web component (in fact the html page containing the applet is set as active web component) on Win XP desktop it displays nothing more than a grey area. do we need some additional code here?
    can anybody help me ?

    The soluce I have found is due to you in a first time, and to this other post :
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=611713&messageID=3369826
    I will here explain in details all I have done to bypass the problem of displaying my java 1.5 applet on the active desktop of windows XP (pro sp2)
    I was originally guessing the problem was due to some bad version of the JVM in the microsoft VM. I have then read some articles on Microsoft official website but in vain, they seems to be still in dark-age (huh !)...
    I am now using JBuilderX ( JBuilder2005 looks like to me and my little java-level an odd update ) and as my applet uses packages and lot of directories, I wanted not to use "javac -target (...)" but instead find some options in Jbuilder. The only things was to change the JDK in use when compiling of the project... ( TOOLS >ConfigureJDKs... )
    I have then prey the time to install JDK1.1 on my machine, and then, with new compilation, I have tried again to put my applet in Active directory.
    READ THIS BEFORE : It does not work at all, please don't do or you will have to uninstall olds JDK !!!
    Okay, no-matter, let's try something else : Compiling with the default-JDK of JBuilderX ( JDK1.4.02 ) and, with the "HTMLconverter.exe" found in the subdirectory "BIN" of this same JDK, converting my HTML file gave me some results : Now, adding my web-page in windows display-properties ( Desktop > Tunning... ) -AND NOT directly in choosing my HTML as background- was nearly working :
    The grey rectangle was now away, and my applet was now displaying... but not refreshing !!! Well, my applet shows an analogic clock, and the refresh was done every five seconds instead of being done every seconds !
    Well, before doing anything else (modifcate my code, etc... ), I wanted to retry the same thing with the last new JDK1.5.01...
    And : COOL guys, it is now working like never before; the refresh is well done.
    Some details about what I have done exactly :
    I have installed new JDK ( Be careful : When it is upadting to JDK1.5.04, sometimes the directory JDK disapears : No, I am not joking ! I have had to re-install JDK 1.5.01 after updating to 1.5.04 because I was then only finding JRE and no more JDK (?!?!?!?) )
    In the directory "BIN" of the JDK1.5.01 ( perhaps also for 1.5.04 with some luck... ) you will find "HTMLconverter.exe". Execute it, give it the path of your HTML-page and apply.
    If you are using JBuilder or others programs ( Eclipse, etc... ) find the option to compile with new JDK1.5.01, and then re-compile your applet... If not, be sure to use JVM1.5 to recompile ! ( Read more on %PATH windows if you need )
    Then finally, go to the properties-display ( see upper ) to (re-)apply your web-page to active-desktop. It should be nice.
    Only to understand what has been done by HTMLconverter.exe, here are the old HTML code, and the nex HTML code :
    the OLDest way to incorporate Applet :

    Last thing I have to write : If my applet now displays fine when I choose "Tunning" in the "Display-properties>desktop" options , it is doing errors when I try to use my web-page directly as the background.
    It does not this with page using FLASH or SVG, then it comes from JAVA and msVM again ! Someone has an idea ?

  • Report Cost of Operation Activity and Component

    Hi Gurus,
    Is there report to list cost of Operation Activity and Component in the same report (not in separate) ?
    In our environment "operation activity" show Labor Cost and "Component" show material cost. If one by one of document we can see it in each document. The requirement is to see in a list of documents that contain labor dan material cost in the same report.
    When use IW49N, only show cost of "operation activity" not include cost of material used.

  • Run-time error '429':Active X component can not create an object

    Hi Folks,
    I am using some VBA code to run logic in BPC for Excel. When i try to click on VBA button, It's giving the below error.However when i am trying to execute same from server it is working fine. Accessing from BPC client only we are facing this problem.
    Code have no issues. Is there any specific thing need to mentioned in client when we use VBA programming? Basically we used the VBA program to create the id's in BPC for Excel. So that it will automatically created on fly. Testing was fine interms of working in Server.
    " Run-time error '429':Active X component can not create an object ."

    Hi,
    Are you trying to add a member into the dimension from excel? As you said that this has been already tested in the server and is working fine, I believe, you have taken care of everything.
    Now, coming to the point, when you are adding a member in the membersheet, you need to process the dimension. This requires the admin rights. So, please check the task profile of the user ID, with which you are trying from your system. This user ID should be the primary admin.
    Hope this helps.
    Additionally, can you please elaborate on the steps on what you followed for adding a member from the excel directly?

  • Active Form Component Rules

    Active Form Component Rules
    Hello,
    Though we upgraded to 2008.3 last November, we haven't used AFC rules so far so i was just curious how AFC rules are coded/implemented ? Do they perform checks using client-side scripting of server-side ?
    Thanks

    think of AFC rules as newScale writing javascript code for you. As a matter of fact its pushe dto the client as a .js file
    You have both client and server side scripts (Data retrieval)

  • Active desktop?

    Active desktop? I think that's what they called it in Windows. Does anyone know how I can set a desktop image that moves? I know how to go through preferences and choose a file. But I found a little GIF on the internet, a little face with bliking eyes, that I would like to use as the image on my desktop. -- A silly, waste of time quest. But no matter how I download it, and no matter where I save it, the image that is saved to the desktop doesn't blink. Thanks for any help.

    Hi Me, myself, and I,
    What you downloaded is an animated gif. AFAIK desktop does not support animated gifs. You can drag it to a Safari window and it will animate. You can also drag it into a Text Edit window and it will animate but not on desktop or in Screensavers. Someone may know a workaround but I haven't seen it.

  • Applets on Windows Active Desktop

    I've tried a couple of other forums with no results. No one seems to know the answer to my problem. Maybe someone here can help.
    I am trying to get a simple JApplet to appear on my active desktop. I have winXPpro and JDK1.5.
    My applet works fine in both IE(browser) and Firefox. But on the active desktop (which uses IE, I believe) it simply shows up as a gray box.
    Has anyone experienced this problem before?

  • LV2009 and Active Desktop

    I have a machine code done in LV2009 and running on WIN-7 platform. All well till the client decided to invoke Active Desktop on his PC. For some odd reason there have been random freezing of the LV application since then. Confirmed on two independent machines on two different networks.
    Not sure what is the offending part of active desktop. The active desktop is part of a recent security beef up at my client end and all networked PCs on LAN have to run the active desktop with the company logo and such. Unfortunatley I cannot take the PC of the network as all data saving happens on a networked drive.
    Any idea why this is happening and if its a known issue any way out ?? Thanks in advance.

  • Change Active Desktop VM?

    Hey all,
    I've just written an Applet that I have embedded into my Active Desktop. The problem is that I can't run it since the Microsoft VM (version 1.1.4) is running on my Active desktop, even though Java Plug-in 1.4.2 is running in IE.. Does anyone know how to change the VM for the Active Desktop, or of any kind of work-around?
    Thanks,

    Does anyone has answer to this question? I need it too.
