Am I missing the point

Hi
Why in the following bit of code does the window not close when I close the frame, I understand why it closes and end's when I take the "open" option on the menu.
I want to know why to get a better undersstanding as opposed to the solution.
import java.awt.event.* ;
import javax.swing.* ;
public class AppMenu1 {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
          JMenu menu1 = new JMenu("File");
          menuBar.add(menu1);
          JMenu menu2 = new JMenu("Edit");
          menuBar.add(menu2);
          JMenuItem item1 = new JMenuItem("Open");
          menu1.add(item1);
          item1.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                    System.exit(0);
          JMenuItem item2 = new JMenuItem("Save");
          menu1.add(item2);
          JMenuItem item21 = new JMenuItem("Edit");
          menu2.add(item21);
          JMenuItem item22 = new JMenuItem("Find");
          menu2.add(item22);
          JFrame frame = new JFrame();
          frame.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
          frame.setVisible(true);
          frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
               public void WindowClosing() {
                    System.exit(0);
}thanks in adavnce

Gurmej,
Your problem is here :
public void WindowClosing() {The Actual signatue is:
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
Java is case sensitive and also you left out the parameter

  • "Save as" misses the point

    Hi,
    the Save as… function is back which makes me quite happy.
    But after using it the first time with preview, I am greatly disappointed. It doesn't work the way it previously did and should work. I cropped several images and hat to manually recover all of the originals because they were automatically saved with the same changes as the new copies. I have the feeling that the developers didn't understand what "Save as" is and why it is so useful. Right now it's just duplicating.
    The Save-as concept works this way:
    - Open a document (file)
    - Edit it
    - Decide that these changes are worth a new version of your document (developers call it fork or so)
    - Choose the menu item "Save as" to save the changed document as a new one
    - The original document remains untouched in it's place
    It is self explanatory that I save the changes into the new document, but not into the original.
    This should apply even though "Autosave" is on and the original document is closed automatically. –> Design error
    Additionally I had turned on the option "Ask to save before closing...." but the system didn't ask, it just saved and closed the file automatically. –> Bug
    What Mountain Lion did when I edited my images: It saved all changes to the new AND the original images. All the originals were also cropped and I had to use the star wars mode to recover every image one by one. Frustrated would be an understatement.

    Since Steve has died, things are getting worse!
    What kind of idiot had the idea to change something which cannot be made better?
    Confusion all around and loss of data is the result, because it is different in different applications too.

  • CSS positioning learning - I must be missing the point?!

    CSS positioning learning - I must be missing the point?!
    Okay I would like to know the benefit of using CSS
    positioning with DIVs when you have templates that helps your pages
    look all consistent with the same navigation or header? I don't see
    how you make a site look consistent doing it the other route.
    I have been reading through a CSS positioning tutorial at
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/css_concepts.html
    and it is indeed somewhat complicated ESPECIALLY when you
    have to compensate for Internet explorer quirks.
    So again... someone please tell me what the benefit would be
    to learn CSS positioning....because I haven't for sure figured it
    out. And have liked templates since you can apply them to many
    pages quickly. Is CSS positioning really the future way to go?
    Thanks,
    Angie

    Templates have nothing to do with layout. They are only able
    to control
    your page's CONTENT. The location of this content is
    dependent not on the
    region but on the HTML structure of your page.
    The real advantage of using a CSS layout is that a) the pages
    are somewhat
    to considerably lighter in weight, and b) the externally
    linked CSS file is
    cached so that you don't have to continually load the same
    structural markup
    every time, and c) once you understand how to use the CSS,
    you have so much
    more control over the placement of things on the page....

  • Boolean refnum in a cluster missing the point how to create it... :-(

    Hello,
    It has been a while since I did Labview coding so there are some things I dont remember that good anymore. The question is simple I ques I want to make a button disabled when the program is running and do this in a subvi. Well that is simple found a lot of examples but I am missing the point how to create the boolean refnums in a cluster as in the picture below. The refnums-cluster is in the middle (vertical) of the left (horizontal). I tried to create a refnum this way: click the button Create->reference but the picture is not the same as below and if I try to put the reverence I made in a cluster It simpely disapears in the background of the cluster. Think I am missing something very simple but I am looking for hours now so I hope you guys can help me out and tel me what I am doing wrong. The exeample is a standard exeample called: "continious measurement and sampling"
    Hope you can help thank you!!

    You must have another controls beside just Booleans in our array. The array of controls has been down casted to More Generic Class which is the Control Class. One menus level up (see the picture I posted above).
    The Disabled property is part of the Control Class which Boolean inheritance. So our function should still work.
    So does your fiction work? Does it set the disabled state? Does it throw an Error?

  • I should know, but I don't. If I upload all of my photos to iCloud and then delete them off of my iPhone (for more storage space), will they all remain in iCloud or am I missing the point of iCloud?

    I should know, but I don't. If I upload all of my photos to iCloud and then delete them off of my iPhone (for more storage space), will they all remain in iCloud or am I missing the point of iCloud?

    Right now, there is no way to upload and access photos in iCloud. You need to import them to a computer if you want to be able to retrieve them later:

  • I must be missing the point but...

    I do not know how to ask this question without an example so please bear with me....
    My example is an contact book, say I have many friends (If only more of them were Java programmers) but quite a few share the same telephone number and, pervesely, quite often move to another, often already shared, telephone number. Phew!
    So, I have:
    an Telephone class:
    String number
    a Friend class:
    String name;
    Telephone tel;
    and myself:
    Friend[] friends;
    Suppose I write a GUI that wraps this hierarchy; it shows me a list of my friends and allows me to edit them - specifically to change their telephone numbers.
    Now, here's the bit I don't understand:
    Somewhere I have to have a list of telephone numbers so that when I pop up my 'friend editor' I can generate a drop down list of available telephone numbers (or even add a new one).
    Does this list exist in 'myself', should I loop through all the friends to find out what're available or something else?
    Also, surely I should 'encapsulate' the 'friend editor' in some way so that 'it just knows' where to get the list from (Ie popup a 'telephone number selector') and if so how would it achieve this?
    This is not a GUI/Swing question - I'm pretty sure I can make a half decent GUI - but a question as to how the classes interract with each other whilst still maintaining encapsulation.
    Lastly, I must be missing the point or, due to my C experience, expecting too little of the language but all the tutorials seem to miss this interraction - they seem either to build bare GUIs or basic/extended classes but never a real application showing this aspect.
    Please can someone furnish an explanation/example ?
    Thanks
    Philip

    oh goodie I love discussions like this... well, sort of. I developed a program to store contacts, each contact had a name, an address and various other fields, so what's the relavence? Well, you want a program to store phone numbers and what not, and you need different classes to accomplish running the program, well this is where I think I can help. In my program there were three methods in the main class, they did delete, insert, and edit, then there was save, and load. Inside of those methods is where things came to life.

  • Plugin-Check page... Mozilla is missing the point.

    Mozilla,
    I have used Firefox FAITHFULLY for the past 10 years. I chose Firefox over IE specifically because it has ALWAYS been customizable. While IE (and microsoft) has always been rigid, and forced the user to do things their way, Firefox has been the opposite:
    Want a page to look a certain way, there's a plugin for that.
    Want more security while you browse, there's a setting for that.
    Want to risk it all and have no security, there's a setting for that too!
    I have dabbled with other browsers too. Google's Chrome browser has a few things that I like... including the option to save a link to a page as an "app" (creating a fullscreen window for just that page). BUT I chose to completely uninstall chrome when I found out that you cannot disable their certificate security checks.
    You see... My bank, the electric company, and several other legitimate sites fail their ssl certificate authentication AND there is NO WAY TO DISABLE this feature. For some reason, the folks at Google think they know what is best for me, and will not give me the option to browse "unsafely" if I so desire.
    Now... To the point of this "question"
    It seems that recently, the folks at Mozilla have decided to force a "plugin-check" page on all of us. At first, I played nice. I updated my java and flash plugins as it suggested, and it still pops up. I then googled "FOR HOURS" on how to disable the feature. I went to about:config and changed all the Boolean variables I could find, and still the page pops up.
    Then I noticed something in doing further research. It seems that in doing hours of research (WHICH I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO) I have seen posts from lots of others that have also done hours of research, and they are getting the same answers from mozilla:
    "You need to do this"
    "You need to change this setting"
    "Please tell us what plugin is causing the problem"
    if they knew that they wouldn't be asking in the first place
    "If you don't help us, we can't help you"
    etc...
    The one thing mozilla hasn't said is "Woops... sorry, we forgot to give you the OPTION to do what YOU WANT"
    I am very happy that there is an OPTION to make my browsing safer. Were I a casual user that just went to facebook, netflix and the like I would probably be very satisfied. Here's the thing, a great deal of casual users just go with what they have... like IE. People that know more about computing, and henceforth like to change things and do what they like probably use firefox... and firefox is cutting them off. I don't use Acrobat, I use foxit (unrecognized plugin). I use several extensions that HELP ME the way I WANT TO BE HELPED. They work just fine for what I NEED, and I don't want to change them.
    I have trouble seeing items on the screen so I use the nosquint plugin... I don't know if it's recognized or not... and I don't care, it works better FOR ME than any of the others that I have tried. Yet, just like Google, and Microsoft before it, Mozilla is attempting to "make me safe" by controlling me. This is unacceptable, I CHOOSE to use firefox because I WANT THE CHOICE to browse MY WAY.
    People have come here, and on other sites asking "HOW DO I DISABLE this screen" and, as shown above, the answer is to try and "trick" firefox into submission. The "trick" doesn't work, and both the person that needs help, and the person trying to help (i know... not a mozilla employee) gets frustrated.
    The point is, we shouldn't have to "trick" or force firefox to submit to our will by hours of trial and error. We didn't ask for the page to show up in the first place. I'm quite sure there are SOME that are happy it is there, but mozilla needs to realize that there are SOME that are not, and GIVE THEM THE CHOICE do disable an unwanted "option".
    In short... Please find a way for us to disable, IN ITS ENTIRETY the outdated plugin check web page that pops up EVERY TIME I start firefox. I know some of my plugins are out of date, and I know some are not recognized. I like it that way. If I wanted to have ZERO control over what MY pc does, I would switch to windows 8 (which doesn't have a metro app for firefox yet)

    hello zthaynes, please [[Update Firefox to the latest version]], this should already solve the issue.

  • ICloud...am i missing the point?

    Hi,
    I'm really confused...i have an iphone 4, ipad 2, macbook pro and imac, all i want to be able to do is access my documets from any of these....i have numbers, pages and keynote installed on all, and have the latest ios on the mobile devices and lion on the macbook and imac....i've also move my mobileme account over to icloud
    so my question is, if i work in numbers or pages on my macbook or imac, how do those files get saved to icloud? I used to be able to save them to my idisk and access them on all devices, but with icloud there is no option to save to icloud - or am i missing something?
    also - i can't believe that there is no replacement for idisk for my non iwork apps to allow me to save data...

    I'm confused too, so don't assume I am being a smartaleck, here.  First, on my iPad "Settings>iCloud>Docs & Data" cryptically sez it allows apps to store docs and data in iCloud.
    When I finally figured out I must log into iCloud on my iMac (still Snow Leopard, btw) in order to actually SEE what is on iCloud, there are 5 icons - Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Find My iPhone, and iWork. 
    Putting these together (I don't have iWork, so guessing), I assume that the setting on my iPad is supposed to save iWork data/docs where they should then not only be accessible while in iCloud, but should also accessible on other iThings.
    I have only experimented with Calendar and Contacts, where I see that only the blank default "Home" and "Work" calendars show up in iCloud, as well as my iPad, iMac and wife's iPad.  All my contacts (synced to the iPad from the iMac) are available, but I didn't turn on Contact syncing for my wife's iPad.
    I noticed that there were two categories of Calendars on my iPad.  Those from my iMac, and those from iCloud.  Since my wife had never use iCal on her iPad, she had only iCloud calendars, and it makes sense (once I noticed it) that entries in the "iMac" calendars did not appear in iCloud or on my wife's iPad.  However, I wonder what will happen when I finally load Lion onto the iMac (Once a FCPX project is completed -- I don't trust the complaints about Lion/FCPX not working well with each other).
    Will my "On My iMac" calendars be merged with iCloud?  If so, is there any way to keep all my personal event reminders (pay this insurance, pay that insurance, pay this Visa, pay that M/C") from flooding my wife's Calendar thru iCloud?
    I read in another thread that the iCloud account does NOT need to be the same as the iTunes/AppleID account.  But since they use the same email, I don't see how unless we each create an @me.com account with an email for which we have no other use.
    Naturally, if we need separate iCloud accounts in order to prevent the cross-pollination of Calendar and Contacts, creating separate iTunes accounts seems a better solution, although then one of us would lose access to apps and music already purchased.
    Sorry if I appear to be hijacking this thread (only works if someone actually replies), but the key word here is the confusion.
    thanks.

  • Missing the point on contacts

    Hi
    Im running osx server 10.9.1, ive succesfully set up calendar sharing, now to contacts, ive turned contacts on in server and made the service available to all users i have client machines set up as osx server accounts, in internet accounts it says OSX Server Contacts, Calendars and reminders, on my machine ive copied all the contacts into All OSX Server, but when i look on another machine i cant see the contacts, im clearly missing something, can anyone help?

    From apple
    "Contacts service provides a simple–to–implement, secure, hosted contact solution. You can access personal and directory-based contacts across multiple computers within a workgroup, a small business, or a large corporation."
    Not from where im standing, ive had to create a pseudo user which i then put this user's login and password on every client machine so they can share the contacts, which is how i had it set up on 10.6 server, not really much of a step forward, the documentation is next to useless, as is most of the tutorials on the web, couple that with a messages service that just doesnt work, i cant say im very impressed with mavericks server.

  • What is the point of connecting Lr5 to Bēhance?

    I'm told I frequently miss the point so I thought I would come to you for some help... I have returned to Lr after using Aperture for several years. I have CC and was excited by Bēhance and ProSite. I've my photos scattered all over the place for a while and this seems to be the solution I have been looking for. With Lr5 I am finally getting what I wanted - no trip to Ps; I can do what I need to in Lr. I thought the "publish" service to Bē would be great: I can show my work, it's part of the CC subscription and it would save me the payment to another service.
    Here's the question: can I only publish to "Work in Progress?" What about Projects? I don't want to have to export manually or open Ps or publish to the CC; I want to go from Lr to Bē projects. What am I missing here?

    I dont think you're missing anything. Even via PS one can only share to the Works In Progress Section.
    A Portfolio of images directly from Lightroom to the Projects Section would be useful. I have not found a method yet.

  • Future Apple TV (UK) because they missed the trick so bad...

    So in my mind apple TV missed the point slightly and could redeem itself this Spring when the UK moves to DVB-T2.
    By putting a DVB-T2 tuner into the Apple TV anyone who wants freeview-HD would probably go apple. A smart EPG could be built out and an API for iptv applications could be developed. Imagine some of the apps that people could use with TV given it has a return path to the internet. I would love a IMDB app for when a films playing for instant access to actors and reviews. This could adopt the iphone business model...
    Chances are this will never happen and apple TV will fail into a technology graveyard.
    Regards,

    What about us in Canada who are held hostage to our cable companies who have an iron grip on the market and the gov't?
    Regardless of the nation, I can't imagine that any cable company that makes money by renting (or selling) you a set-top box to decode/descramble their TV signals (HD or otherwise) would allow a 3rd party access to their proprietary hardware and software. Yeah, it would potentially increase Apple's revenue, at the expense of the cable/satellite companies'.
    I agree that it is a doable concept and that it'd be great to have an all-in-one set-top box hooked to the 'net and your computer and cable... but there are too many groups and too much money involved in too many countries to make it work.

  • Cursor moves when in tablet mode (screen touching the pointing stick on an X220T)

    Hi there,
    when I put my X220T in tablet mode, the screen moves just enough to move the pointing stick in the middle of the keyboard to cause the cursor to move. I can't rest my hand on the screen without causing the cursor to move all the way accross the screen.
    Am I missing a driver that would disable the nub when the screen is turned over it, or is this a design oversight? I've got the latest BIOS.
    Cheers,
