Cardlayout show --- delay ..

CardLayout card = (CardLayout ) (jPanel1.getLayout());
DownTable dt = new DownTable();
dt.setBounds(0,0,1016,526);
jPanel1.add(dt,"downTable");
card.show(jPanel1, "downTable");
jPanel1.validate();
dt.downloading(dt.getsFileName(),dt.getlFileSize());
I can't promptly show downTable card ..
dt.downloading(dt.getsFileName(),dt.getlFileSize()); <--- this code is downloading files
dt.downloading(dt.getsFileName(),dt.getlFileSize());<-- if this code is not exist, i can promptly show card. but exist this code, i can't promptly show card.
that's my problem!
so sorry my poor english

Don't forget to use the "Code Formatting Tags", so the posted code retains its original formatting.

in the future, Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.

Automatic do background work in panelX when you cardLayout.show(panelX)?

Let me first explain what I try to accomplish
+Panel 1: A form that allow people to enter username and password to connect to a database
+Panel 2: Use the connection that just created in panel1 to access database and load data into a JcomboBox
+ContentPane that hold these 2 panel (Layout: cardlayout)
+Top container is a JApplet
So when the program load, I will cardlayout.show(Panel1), then if the user press a "submit" button, I will cardlayout.show(Panel2). Simple enough. Panel2' s job is to silently access a database using the connection that is created in panel1 a load some information onto a JComboBox. My question is how do I design so that when the user press that "submit" button, it detects that now panel2 is in focus so invoke my loadData() that access the database and load data onto the JcomboBox?
Right now i have it so that when panel2 show, the user have to click the "load" button to load information. However, I wish to change that. So please give me some advice.
Thank you very much and happy thanksgiving

A clarifying question - should the uploading and downloading be done on a SwingWorker background thread or should it be on a non-SwingWorker thread? You can do it either way. It's fielder's choice here.
Don't the SwingWorker threads end up on the Event Dispatch Thread?Some methods of SwingWorker are always called in the EDT including the done method and the process method, but the main method, doInBackground, in fact the only method that is required in a SwingWorker-extended class is done off of the EDT. Having methods that reliably work on and off of the EDT is what makes using a SwingWorker object an easier way to create background threads in Swing vs. creating a roll-your-own background thread.

CardLayout does not work

I'm building a dynamic UI which has "x" number of labels and "x" no of fields. I'm able build the UI.
When I make a selection in the ComboBox the UI(labels and fields change). For this I'm using a cardlayout.

Delayed Payment charges and Arrears in the Invoice output

Hi,
can we show Delayed Payment charges and Arrears in the Invoice output in case of SD invoice. From where can i take those. suggest.

Hi,
Please check whether the SMARTFORM/SAP SCRIPT was created in the DE login langage, if so then you have to maintain the Language conversion using SE63 transaction
Goto SE63 and in that transaction you have option to convert the TEXT to different langage.
Use transaction SE63 (translations). From the menu select:
Translation - Logntexts - Sapscript - Forms
From this point on you can translate both the descriptions and the
window texts. This transaction also checks if you don't forget to
translate a part of the script.
Hope it is clear
cheers,
santosh

Script to change PowerPoint shows automatically

Hi, I'm trying to figure out a task using AppleScript without much joy, hoping some wise person can help me with some pearls of wisdom:)
Basically, I'm using a PowerMac running 10.3.9 to automatically display a PowerPoint show of announcements (.pps file). That works fine, it wakes at a certain time, and using a scheduled task in iCal it begins the PowerPoint show at the right time.
But at a certain time I want it to switch to a different .pps show, and I cannot get it to do this. It will not quit the current show without me manually hitting escape, and then it straight away loads and runs the next show, but it won't do it automatically.
Is this something I can write a specific AppleScript for? Or is it an iCal issue, where it won't run a scheduled task while another is running? Is it a Panther issue that has been resolved in Tiger?
I'd be grateful for any help, thanks:)
Mark.

Ironically, even with 'Microsoft Excel' instead of 'Microsoft PowerPoint' the two (2) code segments above did function as expected.
For clarity:
-- Code starts here --
set presentation01 to "HD02_140:Users:s:Desktop:Presentation1.pps"
set presentation02 to "HD02_140:Users:s:Desktop:Presentation2.pps"
set dPeriod to 25 -- Number of seconds to delay, before switching '.pss' files.
tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint" to open presentation01 -- Open first presentation slide show.
delay dPeriod
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Microsoft PowerPoint" to key code 53 -- 'esc' key pressed.
tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint" to open presentation02 -- Open second presentation slide show.
-- Code ends here --
... and ...
-- Code starts here --
set presentation02 to "HD02_140:Users:s:Desktop:Presentation2.pps"
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Microsoft PowerPoint" to key code 53 -- 'esc' key pressed.
tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint" to open presentation02 -- Open second presentation slide show.
-- Code ends here --
However, the code segments can be reduced even further, to ...
-- Code starts here --
set presentation01 to "HD02_140:Users:s:Desktop:Presentation1.pps"
set presentation02 to "HD02_140:Users:s:Desktop:Presentation2.pps"
set dPeriod to 25 -- Number of seconds to delay, before switching '.pss' files.
tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint"
open presentation01 -- Open first presentation slide show.
delay dPeriod
tell application "System Events" to key code 53 -- 'esc' key pressed.
open presentation02 -- Open second presentation slide show.
end tell
-- Code ends here --
... and ...
-- Code starts here --
set presentation02 to "HD02_140:Users:s:Desktop:Presentation2.pps"
tell application "System Events" to key code 53 -- 'esc' key pressed.

Reducing the delay time.

hi sapgurus,
   I am facing problem with the process chains.
1.The job BI_PROCESS_TRIGGER is taking a delay time of 1445 secs.
   The chain is getting after 15 minutes of scheduled time,
I checked in sm37,its showing delay.
2. BI_PROCESS_LOADING taking a delay of 1203 secs.
   The infopackages are getting started after about 10 minutes,from previous job.
Can anybody help me to solve this problem.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
If the chain start, and the job is in delay mode, check in SM50 that you have a BGD/BCT Work Process to take the request from the process chain.
May be you dont have free Work Process to take the request.After waiting for 10 or 15 minutes, the system get a free work process which starts processing the process chain.

CardLayout & AWT Components

Switching between panels when using AWT components with a CardLayout is not as smooth as when using Swing components.
At best the 2 panels seem to merge into one another until only one is displayed, while at worst a part of the previous panel can remain on the screen for a half second or so before the switch is complete.
Kind of hard to explain but there is no instantaneous switch like you get when using Swing components.
As I hope to eventually run this GUI as an Applet - when the problem may, I imagine, become even more pronounced - I would be grateful for any assistance anyone could offer on this matter.
When switching the panels ALL I do is:
cardLayout.show(deck, "PanelName");

Well it's too big to post the whole thing. Some snippets:
// add the panels to the cardLayout
deck = new Panel();
deck.setLayout(cardDisplay);
deck.add(menuPanel, "MenuPanel");
deck.add(notePanel, "NotePanel");
deck.add(logonPanel, "LogonPanel");
deck.add(tabbedPane, "TabbedPane");
this.add(deck);
cardDisplay.show(deck, "LogonPanel");
// switch on some button press
if (e.getSource() == appendNote)
cardDisplay.show(deck, "NotePanel");
noteArea.requestFocus();

try to fix the errors your self beware with the datatypes, about the pictures, they are stored in the "server side" and applets run on the "client side" and applets have restricted acces to server resources...

SQLException after end of result set

hi guys.
im in a lot of bother at the moment.
i have a GUI with a database in mysql. my gui is a recommender system and so users need to log in etc...
i know for certain that the gui does connect to the database because when a new user enters there details it does get updated in the database.
my problem is that when the user tries to gain acces to the system by going to the 'current user' and entering there details nothing happens.
i am finding it very difficult to find out what the problem is, i have been trying for over a week but no luck and im hoping somebody will know how to help me.
please could somebody help me here, i have a very short time aswell. monday.
here is my code below.
thank-you very much for your help
its not normal to post the whole class here but im really really stumped.
the errors that appears in the dos window is SQLException After end of result set.

Processing ActionListener in panel_class.

Hi,
My application has:
1) JMenuBar
2) panel with cardlayout having 2 cards (screens)
on a contentpane.
The application is referred to as c1.
It is build with the use of seperate classes.
c2 = menubuilder
c3 = detailscreenbuilder
c4 = listscreenbuilder
All ActionListeners are created inside these classes.
So, C1 initializes and 'calls' C2, C3, C4 to build its screen.
When user selects a menu-item, the corresponding ActionListener is executed.
But how do I link this with an action in the applicationclass C1?
Example:
- User starts application
==> CardLayout shows default screen (c4)
==> JMenuBar is shown also
- User selects MenuItem:List.
==> an ActionListener, linked to the JMenuItem is triggered
This ActionListener is coded in the menubuilder (c2)
I would like to change the card_panel so that the detailscreen (c3) is shown.
This is done by executing: cardlayout.show("screen3");
Problem is... none of the objects used in the applicationclass are known to the menubuilder so how can I execute this?
Now I can

sorry, maybe the description is a bit difficult to understand without any code.
So, herewith you'll find the testcode (four classes)
Put them in a package called 'testscreenbuilder' and it should work.
The application starts with a menu and welcomescreen shown.
When selecting 'File - List', the 'ListPanel' should be displayed...

Is iphone 6 plus going to ship october 10th

Is the iPhone 6 plus really going to ship out October 14th

Yea...I stayed up going back and forth between Apple App, Verizon site, and Apple site.. I finally gave up and called.. I was pretty po'd by this point but- the guy I spoke with was pretty pleasant (actually calmed me down)... but- I ordered iPhone 6 Plus Silver 64GB.. The mall closest to me was showing they had them available in the Apple store, but just couldn't order it.. So- I paid for the "expedited shipping" for $19.99 which meant "id get it by Saturday by noon" I repeated everything:
ME: "So I will get this then on SATURDAY then if I pay the $19.99?"
VZW REP: "Yes, by noon Saturday"
ME: "Oh by noon?"
VZW: "Yes"
I continued with my order, he gave my confirmation number, ran my card...STILL have not gotten confirmation email, the VZW preorder status says 10/7..
I called back and spoke with another gentleman bc now Apple site works and shows delayed shipment and not available in stores.. I told the new rep that I still have not received my confirmation email and I wanted to be certain my order was still in place..
VZW Rep: "yep. you are all set.. I see an estimated ship date of 10/7..any other questions?"
ME: "Yea..why was I told before I would get this on Saturday the 15th BY NOON? why would I pay $20 to expedite almost a month?!"
VZW Rep: "umm- well sir, I do see your order is here but- you still may get it sooner..most won't get them till 10/14...So 10/7 is expedited.."
I realized I was getting no where, so I guess I have no choice but to just wait and see but- I am a litttttttle aggravated right now.. Hope you all have a better experience than I have..

GridBagLayout with Panels

In a nutshell I have five panels. The comboPanel contains a label and comboBox; objectPanel has a label and text field; filePanel and directPanel have a label, text field and button; buttonPanel has two buttons.
When the program is first run only the comboPanel is visible. If "Display object and filePanel" is selected from the comboBox then the objectPanel and filePanel are visible, else directPanel is visible. buttonPanel is visible no matter what is selected.
The problem is I am trying to add them to the GridBayLayout and have them display below one another which is why I am using gbc.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER for each, however they are all showing up on the same line.
Thanks in advance

Printing forums in exact format

I have a seven page card layout Forms (combination of check box, tables, text fields and text area). I need to print the content of each page in the exact form draw check box, text area, text field and tables all with its content. What would be the exact process? Should I draw each individual component or is there a java class from SUN or 3rd party vendor to draw everything automatically? Cuz drawing each individual component will be painful. Would it be best if I first save them in a file and then send the file to the printer? But even that way I have to draw the components (checkbox, text field, area and tables) individually in the file then their content. Right?
There must be an easy way... can't be that complicated...
Would appreciate your help a lot...
