Center the component without resize in JPanel

Hi, I have a JPanel in a JFrame. I put in this JPanel objects that extends from a JPanel. It works all ok, but I want to center the components that I include. I use the BorderLayout.CENTER , but the components automaticly have resize it and this is verry bad.
How can I make the center position of the components witchout to resize it?
Thanks verry much!
Nikolay

BoxLayout is good. We use that almost exclusively for our GUI layouts.
To centre both horizontally and vertically you can do this:panel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS);
panel.add(Box.createGlue());
panel.add(component);
panel.add(Box.createGlue());Regards,
Tim

When I try and print an "Approach Plate, or Departure" from ForeFlight to my Epson Stylus NX430 using AirPrint the image is resized. How can I print without it resizing. I want to have the plate print in the original size so I can use it.

When I try and print an "Approach Plate, or Departure" from ForeFlight to my Epson Stylus NX430 using AirPrint the image is resized. How can I print without it resizing. I want to have the plate print in the original size so I can use it. Is this an Apple, Epson, or Foreflight Issue? I just purchased the printer so I can return it and get a different model or brand. I spoke to Epson and the suggestions given did not resolve the issue. I have cut the paper down to the size of the plate roughly 5.5x8 and it still try's to print at 8.5x11. I have also requested help through ForeFlights Tech help but have yet to receive an answer.
Please help!

It varies based on what you ordered and whether it is in stock or has to be assenbled and shipped from China. Your email conformation should give an estimate of when the items are expected to be shipped or available for pick up if you are having it sent to a local Apple Store.

Drag and Drop into Photoshop layer without resizing the source image

Hello,
I am using Photoshop CS5, 64bit, in Windows 7.
I went through following steps and getting result that I do not want:
1. Open an existing photopshop file.
2. From the explorer window of my folder, select 100 png files and drag into the graphics area of the open photoshop image.
Result: Photoshop resizes the png file and place it as a layer. It also asks me to commit the resizing for each individual file that I dragged and drop. Sometimes, it takes it as 100% scale, sometimes, 98%, sometimes 102%. If I change it to 100%, then it is not the original size. The image become larger and blurry.
Expected Result: Place 200 png files as separate layer of the open photopshop without resizing it.
My png files are icons that don't need resizing. I cannot tweak 200 images just to get this to the original dimension!
Other things I tried:
I turned off the "Preference->General->Resize Image During Place". I also turned off "Place or Drag Raster Images as Smart Objects".
I still get the same result. I need nothing smart here. Just let me place images without any smart stuff!
I also went to help and googled. I could not find what I need.
Thank you!

That works!!
Thank you!

Is it possible to import one spark component without importing the entire spark library?

I want to create an actionscript mobile application project because the total size will be smaller than a flex mobile application - the SDK is smaller because it doesnt contain unnecessary libraries e.g. the spark, mobilecomponents, framework etc. are not included. There are however 1 or 2 spark and mobile comonents that i would like to use and it seems a little silly to import the entire swc libraries for a couple components. So herewith my question... Is it possible to import a spark or mobile component without actually importing the entire swc library?

Hi Gordon,
Im using option 2: Merged into code. I have just recreated this on a colleague's laptop as well with the same result.
Could you perhaps see if you can follow these steps and see what happens on your side.
Create a new Flex Mobile Project > SDK 4.6.0 > Google Android Platform > Blank Application Template > Finish
Add <s:TextInput/> under declarations tag
Export Release Build > Intermediate AIRI package that must be manually signed later > Finish
Decompile the SWF from the .airi package (I'm using Sothink SWF Decompiler)
Expand Action > Spark > Components
My components folder contains many spark components im not interested in packaging - see screenshot attached above for the full list. All we added was a spark textInput and the swf contains Buttons, Scrollbars, TabbedViewNavigator etc. Thus the reason for this post.

Simple month-picking component (without the corresponding calendar?)

I have a feeling this may be ridiculously easy to answer...
I'm looking for a month-picking component that's a simple extension of something that already exists.
My first instinct was to look at the JXMonthView that's included inside SwingX. Basically my ideal component would be one that only includes the top month selection part of the JXMonthView component with 'traversable' set to true. In other words, a control that lets you select a month within a year using a forward/back scheme. Unfortunately, I can't find a very good way to override the class functionality such that only that top header is included.
I tried to get into the guts of the code, but it felt like the best thing to do was to override the layoutContainer function inside BasicMonthViewUI. Then I realized that that function is part of a private class. Am I missing a great way to just hide that bit of the panel? I've also considered overriding the painting functions, but my fear is that the component will demand too much space because it's just not 'painting' the month but still allocates space for it.
I'm thinking that perhaps a simple self-made control may be the best solution? I'm just trying to stay away from as much custom work as possible to hopefully make the control as portable as possible across platforms.
Thanks!

I'm looking for what you might call a 'horizontal spinner' or scrollbar, wherein you have a forward and back button on either side of the month which kicks it forward and back a month. It should also technically go back into previous years and forward into new ones. Here's something using a JSlider for the months, and JButtons for the years. Since I'm not that familiar with Date/Calendar, there's probably a better way to extract the necessary info (exercise for the OP), but this just demos the Swing stuff:

public class MonthScroller extends JPanel
String[] months;
JSlider slider;

int month, year;
public MonthScroller()
    months = Arrays.copyOf(
        DateFormatSymbols.getInstance().getShortMonths(), 12);
    month = Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.MONTH);
    year = Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.YEAR);
    displayMonth = new JLabel(months[month]);
    displayYear = new JLabel(String.valueOf(year));
    slider = new JSlider(0, 11, month);
    slider.setMinorTickSpacing(1);
    slider.setPaintTicks(true);
    slider.setPaintLabels(true);
    slider.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener(){
      public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e)
        month = slider.getValue();
        displayMonth.setText(months[month]);
    btnPrevious = new JButton("<");
    btnPrevious.addActionListener(new YearIncrementer(-1));
    btnNext = new JButton(">");
    btnNext.addActionListener(new YearIncrementer(1));
    add(btnPrevious);
    add(slider);
    add(btnNext);
    add(displayMonth);
    add(displayYear);
private static void createAndShowUI()
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Month Scroller");
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.add(new MonthScroller());
    frame.pack();
    frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
    frame.setVisible( true );

    EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
      public void run()
        createAndShowUI();
class YearIncrementer implements ActionListener
    int increment;
    YearIncrementer(int increment)
      this.increment = increment;
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
      year += increment;
      displayYear.setText(String.valueOf(year));

How to center the text in JLabel without image?

I need to center the text inside JLabel, how do i do it?
Also I need some advise, what is the best way to mark a clicked card (I'm making a card game)?

I found this method that controls that text alignment:you can try few more:
label.setVerticalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER); //these two would center the label contents
label.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
label.setHorizontalTextPosition(JLabel.CENTER);Thanks!

Problem showing the crystal report viewer in form after added the component on it

Greetings
I have a problem running a program. I created a form which I added the component Crystal Report Viewer perfecty but during program execution when I call that form my VS 2012 Ultimate show the following error:
Translated:
Failed to create the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. Error: An exception occurred in the type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.Shared.SharedUtils'.
Note: If I remove the component from the form. the applications runs fine when calling the form without the component CrystalReportViewer
It is something related to my VS? o just that the actual version 13.0.9 is not yet compatible?

Report.Show?
How about you try:
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = <path to your report>
Or:
Dim crReportDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
crReportDocument.Load(<path to your report>)
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crReportDocument
Or, if the report is added to the project:
crReportDocument = New test
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crReportDocument

What happens on resize (and how can I force it to happen without resizing)?

Hello everybody!
After running into this for the umpteenth time, I have decided to ask somebody who knows better. So, here goes:
Often, when I change something in the layout of an applet or an application (e.g. removing a JComponent and replacing it with another one), it doesn't get updated. I need to resize the Application window or the AppletViewer window, and then the change is correctly displayed and everything works fine. For Applets, I figured out that I can pack() as a workaround, but this can have some nasty side effects. I haven't been able to find anything for Applets though (an Applet doesn't have a pack() method).
So, does anyone know what exactly happens when I resize that window and why then my changes to the layout are applied? And, more importantly, what I have to do to reproduce this effect without resizing?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Wojtek

Thanks for the reply! Doesn't work though (invalidate-revalidate was one of my first tries...):
- Applet has no revalidate().
- If I put all my stuff into an extra JPanel that I add to the Applet, and revalidate() the JPanel after changing the stuff in it, nothing happens, I still need to resize.
Any other ideas?

Cannot resize a JPanel???

I'm having trouble resizing a JPanel in my gui. I'm adding 4 JPanels to the contentPane which extends JApplet. I'm using a BorderLayout but the JPanel I'm inserting in BorderLayout.CENTER is defaulting itself to only take up half of the border.
I've tried setBounds(Rectangle r), setPreferredSize(Dimension d), setSize() and everything else but nothing works.
Can anyone please help

Can you post your code? This may help.

Resize a JPAnel (use of scale)

Hello everybody,
Here's my problem: I have a panel full of components. This panel
can be scaled. So its size can vary. I have to modify the size of this panel (to make a zomm).
In the printing advanced
tutorial they say that I just have to resize the graphics in the print method with:
g2.scale(xScaleFactor,yScaleFactor);
But it only works for Graphics and no for JPanel..
My questions are:
how can I resize my Jpanel ?
Does it scales all the components in the panel?
Best Regards
Peio / [email protected]

You have to overwrite the paint method from your Painter component. For example a JFrame:
public void paint(Graphics g){
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
int count = getComponentCount();
g2d.scale(scaleX, scaleY);
for(int i = 0; i < count; i++){
Component comp = getComponent(i);
comp.paint(g2d);
// Undo all
g2d.scale(1/scaleX, 1/scaleY);
public Dimension getPreferredSize(){
Dimension dim = getPreferredSize();
return new Dimension(((int)dim.getWidth() * scaleX), ((int)dim.getHeight() * scaly));
}Good, if you have a scrollpanel... hmmm... you have to work a little more ;)

Unable to populate the Custom Views on UI for the component BP_FACTSHEET

Hi All,
I am working on a requirement on Interaction Center 7.0 .In this i have enhanced the component BP_FACTSHEET and created new Custom views in it. But i am unable to bring those custom views on the UI. As, we know that in this component there is no concept of overview set also.
So, if anyone has faced the same problem please share your inputs.
Thanks in advance,
Thanks and Regards,
Sharad

Hi Sarad,
First you have to enhance the component BP_FACTSHHET .After that configure ur coustom view in fachsheet id BP_ACCOUNT_FS in SPRO.After that go to component BSP_DLC_FS,where you have to configure the ur view in specfic tiles which is display in web ui for specific to business roll.here you can find the ur fachsheet id and custom view.this component is automatically call when you launch fachsheet in web ui for specific business partner under account tab.

I just got the mid 2011 macbook air and it does not have ilife or iPhoto on it...isnt it supposed to come with it? and if it does then how do i get it on the mac without having to pay for it in the app store?

I just got a macbook air and i thought that it was supposed to come with ilife already installed? But there is not ilife apps...how do i get it on the laptop without having to buy them all from the app store if it was supposed to come with it?

From the iPhoto Licence:
3. Transfer.
A. Apple Software obtained from the Mac App Store is not transferable. If you sell your Apple-branded hardware to a third party, you must remove the Apple Software from the Apple-branded hardware before doing so.
B. For any preinstalled Apple Software, you may make a one-time permanent transfer of all of your license rights to the Apple Software (in its original form as provided by Apple) to another party, provided that: the Apple Software is transferred together with your Apple-branded hardware; (ii) the transfer must include all of the Apple Software, including all its component parts, printed materials and this License; (iii) you do not retain any copies of the Apple Software, full or partial, including copies stored on a computer or other storage device; (iv) you have not associated the Apple Software with your Mac App Store account as set forth in Section 2B; and (v) the party receiving the Apple Software reads and agrees to accept the terms and conditions of this License.
If the previous owner accepted the preinstalled software (iPhoto, etc) to the AppleID, it cannot be passed on to a new owner. Even if the previous owed would use her or his Applied to install it for you, you would never be able to reinstall it or to update it.
In that case buy your own copies of the software.
