Bringing JPanel to the front!!

hi,
I am using an JInternalFrame with some components like JTextField, JComboBox etc. Also, I am having a JPanel with some components which is to be displayed within the bounds of the JInternalFrame. If the JPanel is displayed, its components are mingled with the JInternalFrame components. I dont need that. Is there any way to display only the JPanel components as bringing it to the front. Please do reply. Thanks in advance.

hi,
U are right. It is related to the Layout. Actually, I have set the Layout as null and specifically given the bounds for the components. What I need is that, I am having some components in a JFrame, with the same bounds I am displaying a JPanel with some components. But components of JFrame and JPanel are mingled with each other. But, I want to show only JPanel components on a button click by hiding JFrame's components and make JPanel components invisible on other button's click by hiding the JPanel's components. The point is that, I cannot make the JFrame's components invisible while showing JPanel's components. Is there any property to bring the JPanel front by hiding the others. Please do reply. thanks.

Why doesn't clicking on a Finder window always bring it to the front

Right now on my screen I have two Finder windows. One is partially covered by the other.
Clicking on the rear window does not bring it to the front. I've seen this happen many times already.
Why wouldn't it come to the front and cover the current front window?
Thanks,
doug

Overdrive Media Console/iPhone Problem Resolved-"iTunes is not responding, bring iTunes to the front and check status.

I could not download books from Overdrive Media Console from my iMac desktop. I realized if I turned off iTunes Match in my iphone, it fixed the problem. On your iphone...Go to "Setting", scroll down to "Music" and turn off iTunes Match. i Tunes match is a music subscription service that I had purchased a few weeks ago. I could not figure out when I tried to download audiobooks from Overdrive I got the following message "iTunes is not responding, bring iTunes to the front and check status". Problem solved. I hope this helps others who are experiencing the same problem!

I'm assuming you are talking about audiobooks and if so, just download all the parts in overdrive media console then locate them in your finder. Go into Itunes and go File > Add new files to Library. Go select all the mp3s and upload them onto your library. Sync your iPhone with it and that is what has worked for me Hope this helps!

Bringing SubVI to the Front

I'm developing an interface for monitoring experiments but require a separate VI to control pump hardware. The problem is I implemented the pump VI as a subVi is called from the monitoring interface with a button press. After calling it, I want upon another button press to bring the pump VI to the front if opened, if not I'd like to reopen it.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

here is a way. Make sure you have your subVI properties set to "open front panel when called" by pressing cntl+I -> window appearance. You only need one button with this. If the front panel is already open, it moves the fp to the front. If it's closed, it calls the VI.
Note that if you have error wires going into your subVI, it wont react to any front panel activity from your main front panel while it is open if you open it via this method because of data flow. It will wait for the error cluster to return from the subVI before anything else happens. If this is the case, you will need to dynamically call the VI using an invoke node and the Run VI method. You would then put that in the false case instead. Should be straight forward though. This should give you an idea at least.

Rotate square and bring it to the front

Hi,
i would like to draw a square which is displayed angular before and will be then brought to the front so you see it frontal. (for example by using a JSlider).
i have here a little drawing where i tried do draw what i want to do
bringingToFront
does anybody know how i can realize this in a convenient way?

Well that depends upon your picking strategy, if you have one. Basically you perform operations on the Transform3D co-ords of the TransformGroup your object belongs to.
See SwingInteraction.java in the examples package for a neat thread safe design pattern at

Must bring window to the front w/o switching focus

Ok, now I'm happy subclassing whatever I have to, but I haven't been able to find anything for pushing a window to the front as toFront() will, that DOESN'T switch the focus.
Basically I have subclassed JWindow to show a little window that will disappear when you click on it or after a specified period of time. Now I would like to be able to show that window above everything else, but if I use toFront() that little window will gain focus which is NOT what I want.
I just need to push it to the front w/o gaining focus. if this is possible, like you can point me in the right direction, much appreciated. if this simply isn't possible due to the VM/OS windowing systems, please let me know.

I was afraid someone would say that. that was what the guys in my JUG said, but I needed to check with a larger community to verify.
On a second note, can anyone explain why a KeyListener attached to a JWindow won't recieve key events when there's a label in the content pane?
If you know, please enlighten me.

Bring window to the front

Hi,
I want to bring the window to front when it is behind the window as well as when it is minmized. I have done for minimized state. But i was not able to bring the window to front when it is behind some window.
Thanks & Regards,
Jayagopal.

Hi guys,
              I found solution for this.
               this.alwaysInFront=true
               this.alwaysInFront=false;
this will fix the problem.
Thanks & Regards,

Grouping of windows - bringing them to the front

I am curious if anyone knows a way to link or group the windows of certain applications to appear, say when only ONE of the applications is selected(clicked) from the dock.
part of me got very used to virtual windows on unix-based systems. i am trying to emulate that in some way by tiling the screen with the windows from say x11 and aquamacs emacs, plus possibly more apps. is this even possible. it would be nice not to need to click each application (in the dock) associated with a particular tiling. perhaps there's some 3rd party software that makes this possible?
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Powerbook G4 & iMac G5 :: Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I am not sure if I understood your question, but Expose can display a group of windows from a certain application. The default key is F10. For example, open two windows of Safari and two windows of Preview and press, F10. Pressing the tab key switches back and forth between the two applications. To choose a window within a certain application, use the arrow keys.
One problem I see with this method is that minimized windows (windows in the dock) are ignored.
I hope this helps.

Bringing items to the front.

I have 4 rotating pictures and each time they rotate I want one of them to be on top of the rest but yet the corners of the others to be visible underneath. Is there a way I can do this as it seems only the first one will be on top obviously because it's top in the layers

In PPro, you will need to stack sections of your clips on different layers to get them into the order you want. Use the razor tool as necessary to cut clips into sections so you can manipulate the order.
Alternatively, if you have After Effects, assign them to 3D layers and do the job properly.

Bringing a JFrame to the front?

i have already searched the forum, but i think i might not be using the right words....
anyways, i have a JFrame that is launched when a button is clicked on another JFrame. Initially it is created,
which brings it to the front. However, for subsequent button clicks (i.e.-when it is created, but currently minimized)
I want a button click to cause this window to either un-minimize or jump to the front of any other windows on the
screen. How can i do this? I don't see any methods in JFrame that provide this functionality. What am i missing? thanks!

thanks! that worked!
why is it that i have to add the .setExtendedState() call in the end? I read the documentation,
but still don't understand why that is required to get this working correctly. any explanation?
thanks again..

How do I bring an element layer to the front

I want to use code to bring elements to the front.
The same way I would do in flash by using addChild where it brings that symbol on top of others?
How would I do that with codes?

If you have multiple elements opening in the same area, how can we make the last element clicked be the one in front.
sym.$('symbol').css('z-index', 99); works great for one element but not multiples,
Do you know a solution for multiple elements opening in one area, making the last one opened be on Top?
TY

Bring Excel 2007 to the front when called from LabView v9 in Windows 7

I am building a duplicate system using Windows 7, LabView v9 and Excel v2007. The original system used WinXP, Excel 2007 and LabView v8.6. The issue is that the original system was able to bring Excel to the front when called from Labview using the property node -application-> visible. This new configuration runs Excel, loads the data, runs the macros but does not bring Excel to the front. The icon blinks in the Win7 taskbar and when selected displays over LabView. If I minimize the Labview window, Excel is there. This leads me to conclude that Excel is visible, as requested but will not come to the front until selected from the taskbar. The only differences, besides the versions, is the original system template files used the .xls extension in and was run in Excel in compatible mode. At the customers request, the new system uses the .xlsm extension on the Excel template files. I have tried using application.visible = True in the macro as well. Could be a setting in Labview? Could be a setting in Excel? Could be .xls vs. .xlsm? Or an issue with Windows 7 and the newer version of Labview.

Thank you in advance

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I will try the windowstate change. Were these done in succession? (i.e. property node -> property node -> property node) Or were they done along the way such as call the ActiveX open and a property node then in a worksheet modification area etc. so there was some time between calls?
I am not sure about the API since the discussion there is with regard to DDE. (Taken from the link document: If you want to call a DLL that contains ActiveX
objects, use the Automation
Open VI with the Property
Node and the Invoke
Node.). I am calling Excel as an application not as a library call unless I am mistaken, which I could certainly be. Are you thinking that once Excel is active through the Automation Open VI that a DLL call to set the application visible would work? I may be trying this already but in Excel through the use of the macro I call from LabView. It contains application.visible = True at the beginning before reading files and plotting data.
I may try sprinkling Property node with application->visible in various locations in the LabView diagram as I do update cells after the call to the plot macro. The puzzle for me is the blinking Excel icon in the task bar. This means active and running but not visible or something wrong as well. There are a few #VALUE cells if not all test in the system are run. Again not a problem in Excel 2007-WinXP-LV8.6
Thank you again one and all.

How to a particular panel in a tabbed pane to the front?

Hello
I have a small application that uses a tabbed pane. At some point I want to press a button in one of the panels of the tabbed pane and then another panel in the same tabbed pane to show up, as if I had clicked on that tab to bring it to the front.
Only difference is I don't want to click on the tab to do it but on another button, so I can do some more stuff through the button before I bring the other panel to the front
I thought I could do this by getting focus, but it seems not to be the case. Getting focus does not mean coming to the front as I originally thought.
I hope this is clear. Here is an example that you can compile and run. I want to get jpanel2 to the front by clicking jbutton1 and vice versa.
Any help appreciated.

ITunes Windows do not come to the front when app is selected

When I Command-Tab to bring iTunes to the front, the open window does not come into focus. This behaviour is definitely not following human interface guidelines. It's the same when I click iTunes from the dock.

I'm having the same issue. It takes two clicks to bring iTunes window to the front. App switching or clicking on the dock icon will activate the application, but will not bring the iTunes window forward. I either have to click on the dock icon a second time or select iTunes in the app switcher again. Very strange.
