Animation with dialog boxes

I'm writing a troubleshooting application and I want to be able to describe the process of fixing a specific problem along with the ability for the user to have the dialog box shown in his/her screen and being able to follow the steps describe textually.Like if the users is trying to configure the printer I want the application to include the dialogboxes that a techie person would be using.
Would you please indicate how this could be done and what classes or waht objects residing in the system allow to do such a thing in Java.
Thanks a lot and please be spedific in your answers

Try sub-classing Canvas and adding an Image to paint to that canvas. The image can then be updated to a different one as the user progresses through the steps needed to setup that printer or whatever. That would be just a "static" or non-animated way. To animate the image, well, you need images -more then one, then just (outside of that dialog) create a loop that will cycle through the images to specify. Like a globe that spins around would have maybe 3 images (a,b,c) then you show your dialog box and tell the canvas to display image a, then b, then c, and back to a again. Do you follow?

Acrobat Reader DC - Bug with Dialog Boxes Containing Images?

Hi all -
Been testing Reader DC. Only took a couple of minutes to adjust to the new interface; pretty slick and intuitive.
Noticed a potential issue that I wanted to warn/share/prob solve with the community.
I was putting Reader DC through it's paces with a XFA PDF that has some dialog boxes, some of which even had images in them. (Thanks again to BR001.)
The dialog boxes with images look great on Acrobat & Reader 9/10/11 (WIN & MAC) - images are clear; no pixelation.
Reader DC on MAC appears to be fine - resolution looks the same.
But Reader DC on WIN - the images are now pixelated. Especially around the edges, characters/numbers, etc. You can tell something is "off" with the image.
A few simple side-by-side tests can be seen at links below. Reader DC is on left; Acrobat 9 (9.5.5) is on right.

Bug in Reader DC for Windows? Not sure what else the cause could be...
Anyone having their dialog boxes with images open in Reader DC for Windows WITHOUT the pixelation?
FYI/thoughts/ideas/suggestions/confirmations? Hmmm.....

Little easier; picture's worth a thousand; etc.
Shortcuts to zoom in/out further for most web browsers: ("ctrl" & "+") or ("ctrl" & "-");

Issue with dialog boxes in Designer, please help

Hi,
I'm having a problem with designer the last 4 days. It was working fine before.
Any dialog box wants to open, I can not insert tables, edit properties, etc.
I'm using Designer 11.5.0.0 with SP3 update, I reinstalled every thing, but it's still not working.
Does someone know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance,
Marcela

Hi,
The issue is resolved, but I don't know what caused this error.
I uninstalled the java components and BO then I deleted the BO folder under program files, then I deleted all BO entries in the registry.
Finally I reinstalled everything except the service pack and that finally worked. I don't know the cause of this error.

Marcela

How do I clean out the "Open With" dialog box when I right click an image?f

Hi,
When I right-click and image to open it in a program I get a long list of programs to choose from. Many are duplicated or the same program but different version #s like Preview. How do I clean out the dupes and ones I don't want and keep the ones I do?
How would I add CS3's Adobe Camera Raw to the list?

Do a search for details on cleaning up the "open with" dialog, it's been discussed before but I'm sorry I can't remember what the fixes are.
I have duplicate choices too but have never tried to clean them up.

Open/Save Dialog Box Freeze

Hello,
Since updating to 10.4.7, the open/save dialog box freezes (beachball) after selecting a folder. Can anyone please point me in the right direction in solving my issue.
I used the ComboPPC updater and then ran Cocktail to repair permissions, cron scripts, clear caches etc.
I recently posted about the Finder freezing instead I should have mentioned that it was the Open/Save dialog box.
Regards,
David

Dialog box problem when controlling front panel remotely

I have encountered an issue with the Web Publishing Tool- I have a VI that calls a subvi that uses the Promt User for Input function. When controlling the front panel from another computer I get a message saying that you "Cannot control subVI front panels remotely" and points you to the machine actually running LabView to enter the information in the Prompt User dialog box. I set the subVI front panel to show when called, which does show the front panel of the subVI, but still get the error related to the dialog box.
Is there any way to make this work? Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks,
Nathan

Hi Nathan.
There are some limitations with dialog boxes in remote applications. This tutorial has some good examples and explanations on functionality to avoid with web applications. Additionally, the LabVIEW online Help offers some general guidance for Viewing and Controlling Front Panels Remotely, which may help you in further developing your application.
Hope that helps!

Dialog box "unapproved caller" has frozen computer multiple reboots has not resolved the issue

Frozen screen with dialog box "unapproved caller"
have be turned off wireless, have rebooted in option and verified all discs, still frozen on dialog box at startup

Restart the computer in safe mode. Certain caches maintained by the system will be rebuilt.
Safe mode is much slower to start up than normal.
When the login screen appears, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.

How to print a dialog box with all its components ?

Hi !
I've written an application.It has a dialog box [JDialog] containing following components:
1) 2 JLabels.
1) A JTextField.
3) A JTable with some values.
4) A JProgressBar.
5) A JButton.
6) An animated gif image.
I want to print the dialog box with all its components exactly as the are [ Except the button & animated gif ].
Would anybody please help me?
My Operating System: Windows XP

The article over at http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Printing/Java2DPrinting/ has some helpful information on printing Swing components.
It suggests creating a subclass of the JComponent that you want to print, and have it implement Printable interface.
So, something like (note, uncompiled / untested code alert) :
import java.awt.Frame;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.HeadlessException;
import java.awt.print.PageFormat;
import java.awt.print.Printable;
import javax.swing.JDialog;
public class PrintableDialog extends JDialog implements Printable {
      * Or whichever constructor you need...
     public PrintableDialog(Frame owner, String title, boolean modal) throws HeadlessException {
          super(owner, title, modal);
      * Implementation of the Printable interface.
       public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pageIndex) {
          if (pageIndex != 0) return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
          Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
          g2.translate(pf.getImageableX(), pf.getImageableY());
          getContentPane().paint(g2);
          return PAGE_EXISTS;
}Cheers,

Why doesn't firefox close out when I'm done with it and close it; when next I try to open firefox again I get a dialog box telling me firefox is open and to close it or restart my computer? I'm tired of doing that one of more times a day.

1. This happens at least once a day, and sometimes multiple times. Today it's happened twice, thus far. My home page is FoxNews.com and if I leave it up overnight or for longer periods during the day firefox doesn't allow the refresh of the home page it just goes to yahoo 404--error can't find the webpage. Then when I enter FoxNews.com it adds a /error to the url and doesn't allow me to go to MY homepage. So I close firefox and then if I try to reopen it and then I get the dialog box saying firefox is open and to close it or restart my computer. Very aggravating. 2. Also the Adobe flash drive update always fails. 3. Webpages get in loops and fail to load to the point I have to stop and refresh or close out and reopen.

One situation in which Command+w or Ctrl+w might not work is if the "focus" is in a plugin such as the Flash player used on Youtube after you interact with the player controls. Firefox will continue to send the keyboard input to the plugin until you move the focus back to the page. Does that account for any of the problem?

When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified

When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified because it is already in use ??? What am I doing wrong?

settings -> iTunes & App Store
click on apple ID listed there
select Sign Out
sign in with the proper account
from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID

How can I create a Frame & dialog box with a desired shape & look ?

Hellow !
Currently I am writing an application that need your help.
I need a complete code to create a custom JFrame & JDialog.
Objective:
1) The frame & Dialog box might not be in a rectangular shape.
2) Their visible area [ Title bar(With my new icon),outer edge and iconifying,deiconifying & window closing buttons ]
would be as I wish.
As an instance, I mean to say it should looks something like Widows Media Player's(XP version) main window.
My Operating System: Windows XP

I think (I have never tried it) that the following link provides the kind of api you are looking for :
http://www.l2fprod.com/
As far as I know, it's based on the use of a custom look and feel called SkinLF.
But due to the nature of your question and based on the assumption that people here are not going to do all the work for you, I would strongly advise you to start with the Swing tutorial :
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/

I am trying to connect Garritan Personal Symphony to Logic Express and Garageband. A dialog box pops up and asks for plugin Garritan-P. Where do I find it and what do I do with it. I can't locate this plugin doing searches on any of the porgrams.

I'm not sure which version of Garritan Personal Orchestra you have or when you are getting a window pop-up, but check this link for starters:

I've developed the problem that when I click on something I get a dialog box with a mess of stuff such as: Back,re;oad page ,Open in dashboard ,print page, etc. It's quite annoying!

I have a problem that when I click on something I get a dialog box with Back,Reload page, Open in Dashboard,View Source Save page as ETC. I don't get the normal or expected respose to a simple "click". Another problem. For some reason the back and forth arrows it the tool bar of Safari have shifted from the upper left hand cornor to the uuuer rihht hand cornor.

Something is seriously wrong then. Did you move it? There are several Library folders. One of them should be inside your HOME folder.
If WZZZ suggestion does not work, re-install your OS by using Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo. When done, repair permissions and restart your computer.

Open dialog box window with checkboxes for each child record - Please Help

Hello Everybody
I have a 10g form with master record and 20 child records. In the child record form, currently there is a “Notes” Editor, which pops up when user click the “Edit” button. In the “Notes” editor, user enters remarks if anything is missing. For example, typical remarks will be: Statement is missing, LOC paper is missing etc.
Now, I would like to replace “Notes” editor with a dialog box. In the dialog box , I would like to add checkboxes with values “Statement is missing” and “LOC paper is missing” etc. along with “Notes” field. The user can select checkboxes. The value of the checkboxes should go in the “Notes” field with the ability to edit it. This way, user doesn’t need to type the most common notes every time.
I have created a “NewNotes” dialog box with checkboxes and multiline text Item. It is pops up when I click on the button. I have also created to WHEN_CHECKBOC_CHANGED trigger for each checkboxes so that the its value will go in a multiline text item.
But, I am not sure how I can link “NewNotes” dialog box to the each record in child record block. I would really appreciate it if anybody could give me some idea.
Thanks,

if i understand correctly you have a note item (based on table) on every child record? when you open the dialog box: how do you put data from notes to dialog box? in the same way as you can write it back ...
