Add Help Button to JDialog title pane

I would like to add a help button just before the close button on my JDialog title pane. I have a working solution (rewriting the title pane code for JInternalFrame), but I'd like to get access to the real JDialog title pane code and just extend that, so I don't have a lot of maintenance on the code.
As best as I can tell, the JDialog title pane code is natively written. I'm hoping that this is not the case and I'm just not finding the right class.
Any help is greatly appreciated

I think this is a windows toolkit thing and can't be dochanged in java/ Could be wrong tho

  • Add a Button in JFrame Title Bar

    How can I add a button in JFrame Title Bar. I want to put on more button for docking after the closing button in the title bar.

    if you use JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true) then you can do it by extending the JRootPaneUI class of the L&F (the default is the metal L&F). that is not a easy task but if you want take a look at BasicRootPaneUI, there you will have to point it to a new TitlePane which you will have to create. to load all this you must use the UIManager class. if you need more explaination try reading on look and feel and customizing it.

  • How to add a Button in JFrame title Bar ?

    Hi Folks,
    I want to add a button near to JFrame's Minimize Button(On the title bar). How can i do it ? Should i extend RootPaneUI and add custom button ? Any other easy ways to do this ?
    If anyone provides me Sample Code how to do it, It is much Appreciated.
    Thanks,

    There's no easy way to achieve this. You'll have to provide a RootPaneUI delegate with a custom title pane implementation. There, you'll have to provide a custom layout to position your button. In addition, this approach will not work on look-and-feels that do not support decorated mode (such as Windows or GTK) since under such LAFs the title pane always comes from the OS.

  • Interrogation/help button on dialog title bar?

    Do you know any way to insert a button with an interrogation mark on the title bar of a JDialog, as to get help?

    This API is for frames, not dialogs, but maybe you could make it work for you somehow.

  • Help button question Applescript Studio

    Hi everyone!
    My help menu works just fine but to get my help button on the main window to work I set the default app for my file to Help Viewer. Then I script the open file command in Finder to open the file which is in my app bundle. It works fine and I was never able to get the cocoa command to open the help file to work with my button. My question is though I just realized that if I would click the help button multiple times it would open multiple windows of the same file in Help Viewer. That doesn't seem to be cool as I would hope it would realize the file is already open and not open the same file again? Any thoughts on how I can resolve this?
    If it helps here's a link to my past posts:

    My help menu works just fine
    You don't say whether or not you changed the normal setup for the Help menu item to make it work "just fine"... Typically the help menu item has a connection in Interface Builder to the First Responder's showHelp: method. Assuming you did not change this, and this is what is working fine, then there's no reason that you can't also set up your help button to work in the same way (no AppleScript code would be needed).
    In Interface Builder...
    - First turn off the "on clicked" action for your help button in the AppleScript pane of the Inspector window (so clicking the button doesn't trigger any AppleScript code).
    - Then select your help button and <Control>-drag from the help button to the "First Responder" icon in the "MainMenu.nib" window. As you're dragging you'll see a blue line following the mouse.
    - Release the mouse button once the line goes from your button to the First Responder and you see a blue square surrounding the "First Responder" icon. This will cause the "Target/Action" pane to open in IB's Inspector window and you will see a long list of "Actions for First Responder".
    - Scroll down and highlight the "showHelp:" method then click the "Connect" button. A little circle will appear next to the "showHelp:" item indicating the connection has been made.
    - Save your nib file and rebuild your app.
    Now when you click on your help button it will do a Cocoa call to the First Responder's showHelp: method allowing it to work just like the help menu item.

  • How to add a button on a panel's title bar?

    Hi,
    How can I add a button to a panel's title bar? Buttons that
    are simply added to a panel's title bar become invisible.
    -Altu

    One way is to put your button component oustide your Panel
    tag in your MXML. The set the x/y coordinates for the button so it
    is on the Panel.
    <mx:Panel x="20" y="168" width="250" height="118"
    layout="absolute"/>
    <mx:Button x="73" y="173" label="Button"/>

    How to add a PDF to the Help button of the Application? Do we need a Robohelp to generate this?

    Thank you for your reply, William.
    Well, we just want the PDF to open when we click on the “Help” link of the Application.
    Also, we have the PDF ready. 
    Is it a job of a UI Developer? Do we need to tell him to link this PDF to the Help button or link of the Application?

  • How to add buttons/text to right pane when selection is made from left pane

    Hi,
    I am new to JAVA development with SWING.
    I am trying to create an application where in the left pane there is a Tree Menu and in the right pane I have some buttons. Based on the selections in the left Pane, I should be able to add more buttons and or text to the right pane.
    How do I accomplish this? If you guys have any sample code, Please post it or suggest different ways of accomplishing.
    Thanks in advance.

    It looks like you are declaring different main_Frame, rightPane and leftPane and have too many items static and final. Take a look at the code below. I have set GridBagLayout for the frame for a better look.
    I am not sure what you mean when you say that you want right panel only and want to add to it. Also, I think you would be better off using CardLayout for rightPanel as stated by jduprez
    When you want to show code use {_code_} code here {_code_} tags (code in brackets without underscores)
    Here is a working sample of what you had:

    Could you try to activate "Calendar" in the iCloud-Settings of the Ipad?
    Just close the Calendar, turn the setting on and start Calandar again. Perhaps you need a reboot.
    Could you try this?
