Can't change Text2D's String!

Hey guys,
I've got a 2D score board I'd like to update frequently (using 2D to save some FPS instead of Text3D) but I can't manage to change the String dynamicly: I can change the String to another String with the exact same with or less, but if less, the String is S T R E C H E D across the original 3D plane in an ugly way. I tried creating a new TexT2D bigger than what I needed and then set a shorter String in it, same stretching problem...
Has anyone resolved this? What's the point of having a setString method if you can only set Strings which are the exact same width?! Btw, Text3D automatically handles the change since we're dealing with completly different geometries everytime. Maybe I have to manually setGeometry of the next String to match that String's width? If so, how do I calculate that width?
Thanks!
Btw, here's the code I use to get the proper capabilities and get rid of the 3 billion error messages I got!
highScoreNbr = new Text2D(Long.toString(highScore), COLOR_WHITE, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_STYLE);
highScoreNbr.setCapability(Text2D.ALLOW_APPEARANCE_READ);
highScoreNbr.setCapability(Text2D.ALLOW_APPEARANCE_WRITE);
highScoreNbr.getAppearance().setCapability(Appearance.ALLOW_TEXTURE_READ);
highScoreNbr.getAppearance().setCapability(Appearance.ALLOW_TEXTURE_WRITE);
highScoreNbr.getAppearance().getTexture().setCapability(Texture.ALLOW_IMAGE_READ);
highScoreNbr.getAppearance().getTexture().setCapability(Texture.ALLOW_IMAGE_WRITE);

Hi,
there's a bug in java3d 1.3:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4809249.html
My workaround: download java3d 1.2x (SDK) and extract the sourcecode for class Text2D. Then rewrite the code (rename the class) to a new class like MyText2D and use it instead of Text2D.

Oliver

Can we change data in string object.

Saw this hack to access the char[]'s in a String in another thread. Beware that the effects of doing this is possible errors, like incorrect hashCode etc.

Can't change the connection string of SSIS package with derived columns?

We upgraded SQL server 2008 to 2012, copied and converted all SSIS packages from Visual Studio 2008 to 2010. When I opened a package in VS 2010 and tried to change the connection string, in the local connection managers, if the data source is another
SSIS package B(.dtsx file) with derived columns, I can't change the connection string of package B. When I opened the file connection manager editor for package B and tried to locate a dtsx file in another location, saved the change, reopened the project.
Package B still pointed to previous file. Other packages without derived columns work fine. Any thoughts?

We are using the package deployment model and refer to other packages in the same project. If
we changed the path of package B (with derived columns) to "D:\Visual Studio 2010\xxxx", and refer it in package A, in the A's connection manager, the connection string of package B is still its previous location "D:\Visual
Studio 2008\xxxx". When we ran the package A in the SQL server agent, the data source is still
"D:\Visual
Studio 2008\xxxx", so how can I change it to "D:\Visual
Studio 2010\xxxx"? Why has the package C (without derived columns) no such problem? thanks.

Hi,
I have copied a number of SSID packages from a live server to my test server and am trying to get them up and running but I have a problem with the connection. The only thing that is different is the server name. I decided to keep the same connection in the connection manager as it is referenced in a dtsConfig file. I changed the dtsConfig file to reference the new servername [Data Source= new test server name]. I also check my paths and they are pointing to the correct config locations etc.
I found this post which was similar to my problem but I still get problems with the connection
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1319961&SiteID=1
I updated the connection by changing the server name in the actual connection. I did this from the data flow tab in the Connection Managers sections (MS Visual Studio). Right clicked - Edit - changed the name of the server name to my test server and selected the database. Test connection was fine, and saved this.
Once I saved this, the connection string changed to my current test server in the properties of the connection. However when I run the package I get the following error:
Error: 0xC0202009 at ReportsImport, Connection manager "myconnectionstring": SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.  An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.

Error: 0xC0024107 at Myprocess import from file: There were errors during task validation.
So even if I change the existing connection properties and save and Build my package again, my connection properties (connectionstring, servername etc) all revert back to its original data source when I re-open the package. Simply it does not seem to be saving the connection properties i put in.
What am I doing wrong or how can I change the existing connection manager to look at the new server. The database is the same and I have full admin privilege on the server.
I don't want to recreate my packages as there are alot and they are not simple.
After changing the connection properties, saving and reloading I get a connection error. But this is because it is not retaining the new connection manger setting i entered.
Incidentally - I created a new SSID to perform a simple connection and write to the the server and it was OK so there is no problem with actually seeing the my test server.
Thanks in advance

Yes, the package is in visual studio and I have executed it. There are no errors but in the output i have the error message about my connection. My dtsConfig file is added to the project in the 'Package Configuration Organizer' and path and files are correct. This is the output error:
Error: 0xC020801C at xx import from file, xxReportsImport [79]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER.

I will try and run it using dtexec.exe. if I have two config files do i use

Can't change string variable values in Flash CS4 Debugger

I'm using the Flash CS4 debugger, and while I can change numeric variable values in the Variables panel, I can't change string variable values. The only characters the fields accept are the numbers 1-9 and the characters "d" and "j".
I can paste strings into the value fields, but that's a bit of a pain. I've tried this on a couple of different Flash CS4 installations and get the same results.
Does anyone know if it's possible to change string values in the Variables panel of the Flash CS4 Debugger?

How can I change the view of Download Folder in Dock

I used to have my Download Folder in my Dock show up as a vertical string of icons with the latest at the bottom, when I clicked on the Folder. I recently had to drag the Downloads Folder back into the Dock after it had disappeared from there. After doing that I now notice when I click on the Downloads icon in the Dock, it now shows up as a page full of icons. I prefer the original vertical listing. How can I change it back?
Hope someone can help on this one. Thanks.

That's not an option. Under Display As, you have the view options for Downloads

How can I change excel column header using Labile.

Dear Experts,
                      How can i change excel column header using LabVIEW.
Thanks for any and all help!

As I said in my previous post, column headers in Excel are merely row 1 cells. May be I missing something here, so please be more explicit with your question.
I guess you are using the Excel Report tools, and you want to modify an existing sheet. From my limited experience with the Excel Report tools, it is not possible to open an existing woorkbook (except as template...), so the answer to your question should be "Forget it"...
The work around is to use the example I pointed for you before, and either to write the whole new colum headers as a string array, starting in A1, or to write a single string to a given cell in row 1.
Hope this helps

How Can I replace newScale Text Strings with Custom Values?

How Can I replace newScale Text Strings with Custom Values?
How can I replace newScale text strings with custom values?
All newScale text is customizable. Follow the procedure below to change the value of any text string that appears in RequestCenter online pages.
Procedure
1. Find out the String ID of the text string you would like to overwrite by turning on the String ID display:
a) Navigate to the RequestCenter.ear/config directory.
b) Open the newscale.properties file and add the following name-value pair at the end of the file:res.format=2
c) Save the file.
d) Repeat steps b and c for the RmiConfig.prop and RequestCenter.prop files.
e) Stop and restart the RequestCenter service.
f) Log in to RequestCenter and browse to the page that has the text you want to overwrite. In front of the text you will now see the String ID.
g) Note down the String ID's you want to change.
2. Navigate to the directory: /RequestCenter.ear/RequestCenter.war/WEB-INF/classes/com/newscale/bfw.
3. Create the following sub-directory: res/resources
4. Create the following empty text files in the directory you just created:
RequestCenter_0.properties
RequestCenter_1.properties
RequestCenter_2.properties
RequestCenter_3.properties
RequestCenter_4.properties
RequestCenter_5.properties
RequestCenter_6.properties
RequestCenter_7.properties
5. Add the custom text strings to the appropriate RequestCenter_<Number>.properties file in the following manner (name-value pair) StringID=YourCustomTextString
Example: The StringID for "Available Work" in ServiceManager is 699.
If you wanted to change "Available Work" to "General Inbox", you would add the following line to the RequestCenter_0.properties file
699=General Inbox
Strings are divided into the following files, based on their numeric ID:
Strings are divided into the following files, based on their numeric ID:
String ID File Name
0 to 999 -> RequestCenter_0.properties
1000 to 1999 -> RequestCenter_1.properties
2000 to 2999 -> RequestCenter_2.properties
3000 to 3999 -> RequestCenter_3.properties
4000 to 4999 -> RequestCenter_4.properties
5000 to 5999 -> RequestCenter_5.properties
6000 to 6999 -> RequestCenter_6.properties
7000 to 7999 -> RequestCenter_7.properties
6. Turn off the String ID display by removing (or commenting out) the line "res.format=2" from the newscale.properties, RequestCenter.prop and RmiConfig.prop files
7. Restart RequestCenter.
Your customized text should be displayed.

I've recently come across this information and it was very helpful in changing some of the inline text.
However, one place that seemed out of reach with this method was the three main buttons on an "Order" page. Specifically the "Add & Review Order" button was confusing some of our users.
Through the use of JavaScript we were able to modify the label of this button. We placed JS in the footer.html file that changes the value of the butt

I think your VI works and if I understand what your input data looks like and the output that you want is, does it?I really can't see a better way. Does it not work for what you want? What form is the actual data in as you receive it? (not how it is displayed by the display setting of the string control) You have the string control set the “Hex display” and that may be confusing some of us as to what the actual input data is.
And what you want your output to look like. Do you get a “stream” of bytes that are the actual numbers in the form of a string?or Do you get a “string” of ASCII char that represent numbers?
These are two different things, but may look alike depending on the display setting of your controls are set.
Changing the display mode of a control or indicator does not change the under lying data. It only changes the way your eye “see” it, not how LabVIEW “sees” it. We need to know what your raw input string looks like.
tbob's snipit assume your data is one way and your VI assumes another.

How can I change my JApplet into a JApplication?

I am working with a JApplet and am finding that some of my code only works in applications.
So being new to this, I am clueless as to how to change my Applet into an Application. I understand the difference in definition between the two, but when it comes to looking at Applet Code and Application Code, I am not able to see a difference. (Other than an Applet stating "Applet")
So, that being said how can I change my code so that it runs as an application and not an applet? Here is my current layout code
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
// Creating the main class
public class test extends JApplet implements ActionListener
     // Defining of format information
     JLabel heading = new JLabel("McBride Financial Services Mortgage Calculator");
     Font newFontOne = new Font("TimesRoman", Font.BOLD, 20);
     Font newFontTwo = new Font("TimesRoman", Font.ITALIC, 16);
     Font newFontThree = new Font("TimesRoman", Font.BOLD, 16);
     Font newFontFour = new Font("TimesRoman", Font.BOLD, 14);
     JButton calculate = new JButton("Calculate");
     JButton exitButton = new JButton("Quit");
     JButton clearButton = new JButton("Clear");
     JLabel instructions = new JLabel("Please Enter the Principal Amount Below");
     JLabel instructions2 = new JLabel("and Select a Loan Type from the Menu");
     // Declaration of variables
     private double principalAmount;
     private JLabel principalLabel = new JLabel("Principal Amount");
     private NumberFormat principalFormat;
     private JTextField enterPrincipal = new JTextField(10);
     private double finalPayment;
     private JLabel monthlyPaymentLabel = new JLabel(" Monthly Payment    \t         Interest Paid    \t \t            Loan Balance");
     private NumberFormat finalPaymentFormat;
     private JTextField displayMonthlyPayment = new JTextField(10);
     private JTextField displayInterestPaid = new JTextField(10);
     private JTextField displayBalance = new JTextField(10);
     // Creation of the String of arrays for the ComboBox
     String [] list = {"7 Years @ 5.35%", "15 Years @ 5.50%", "30 Years @ 5.75%"};
     JComboBox selections = new JComboBox(list);
     // Creation of the textArea that will display the output
     private TextArea txtArea = new TextArea(5, 10);
     StringBuffer buff = null;
     // Initializing the interface
     public void init()
          // Creation of the panel design and fonts
          JPanel upper = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());

          JPanel areaSix = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
          Container con = getContentPane();
          getContentPane().add(upper, BorderLayout.NORTH);
          getContentPane().add(middle, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          getContentPane().add(lower, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
          upper.add(areaOne, BorderLayout.NORTH);

          areaOne.add(instructions2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
          areaTwo.add(principalLabel, BorderLayout.WEST);

The code that doesn't work in my applet is the exit button code
else if (source == exitButton)
                    System.exit(1);
               }I also can't get my program to properly validate input. When invalid input is entered and the user presses calculate, an error window should pop up. Unfortunately it isn't. I compile and run my applications/applets through TextPad. So when I try to test the error window by entering in invalid info, the applet itself shows nothing but the command prompt window pops up and lists errors from Java. Anyhow, here is the method I was told to use to fix it.
private static boolean validate(JTextField in)
          String inText = in.getText();
          char[] charInput = inText.toCharArray();
          for(int i = 0; i < charInput.length; i++)
               int asciiVal = (int)charInput;
          if((asciiVal >= 48 && asciiVal <= 57) || asciiVal == 46)
          else
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Invalid Character, Please Use Numeric Values Only");
               return false;
               return true;
     }My Instructor told me to try the following, but I still can't get it to work.String content = textField.getText();
if (content.length() != 0) {
try {          Integer.parseInt(content);
} catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {}

Can I change Encoding used in InputStreamReader

Hi Java Gurus:
Wanted to know if I can somehow change the encoding used by InputStreamReader, the value of which I get by InputStreamReader.getEncoding().
I did change file.encoding to UTF8, but that does not change the encoding used by InputStreamReader.
I am getting garbage data when reading a chinese character from a Swing GUI. If I convert the string into a byte array using utf8 encoding, the bytes look OK, but when I print the string, it is all garbage and gets stored in the database (thru JDBC) as garbage (?)
Any pointer(s) would be a great help guys!
Thanks,
Micky G

Hi Mickey,
Wanted to know if I can somehow change the encoding used by InputStreamReader,
the value of which I get by InputStreamReader.getEncoding().Easiest way is to specify the Charset or Charset name String in the constructor,e.g.:
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(iStream, "UTF-16")
I am getting garbage data....I don't quite follow what you're describing in this paragraph. Can you elaborate?
Regards,
Joe

Hi,
I tried it but doesnt seem to work. Anyhow, i created a new database with my requirements and thus issue got resolved.
Maybe you should have provided a bit of detail to "doesn't seem to work".
I hope you didn't build a whole new house just because you couldn't get the key fit the front door . . .
Thanks for your response. Appreciate it.Edited by: EdStevens on Sep 27, 2010 3:43 PM
