Centering with SpringLayout?

does anyone know an easy way to do this and maintain the centered objects preferred size ? thanks

Well, more than one, but just one on this line. For example, say I want to center a JLabel or a JTextField that is all by itself on a line. I never thought of the case of multiple components (Duh!), but for now I only need the single component solution..but i am curious about multiple if you know that one too.! thanks

Right alignment with SpringLayout

I've just started playing with SpringLayout. I've been using mostly BoxLayout up to now but I thought it was time I gave an alternative a go. BoxLayout has it's own erratic sizing problems.
Anyway I'm trying to generate a sub panel like:
Title (centered)
Quantity1 888
Quantity2 99
<Table> <PieChart>
With the numbers against the RHS of the box
First thing I've found is that putting a zero length Spring between the NORTH of the lable and the value doesn't work, I have to set both relative to the previous line or (mysteriously) no vertical separation happens at all.
Here's the code that adds a lable/value pair:
    private static Component addPair(Component prev, String label, JLabel value) {
        Container c = prev.getParent();
        SpringLayout l = (SpringLayout)c.getLayout();
        JLabel nameLab = new JLabel(label);
        c.add(nameLab);
        c.add(value);
        l.getConstraints(nameLab).setHeight(Spring.constant(12));
        l.putConstraint(SpringLayout.NORTH, nameLab, 2, SpringLayout.SOUTH, prev);
        l.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, nameLab, 10, SpringLayout.WEST, c);
        l.putConstraint(SpringLayout.EAST, c, 10, SpringLayout.EAST, value);
        l.putConstraint(SpringLayout.NORTH, value, 2, SpringLayout.SOUTH, prev);
     //   l.putConstraint(SpringLayout.SOUTH, nameLab, 0, SpringLayout.SOUTH, value);
        l.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, value, Spring.constant(10, 10, 500),
                SpringLayout.EAST, nameLab);
        return nameLab;
    }prev being the label from the previous pair.
It refuses to right align the value lable. It looks like the constraint between the EAST of the value and the EAST of the container has no effect. I've also set the alignment in the JLabels to RIGHT, which has no effect.
If I take out the constraint between the WEST of the value and the EAST of the lable It plonks the lable and value on top of one another.
Furthermore, though the hieght of the pie chart is set explictly by a constraint, the LayoutManager seems incapable of producing a sensible minimum height for the overall box.
All of which makes me wonder if SpringLayout is worth persevering with or if there are just tricks and gaps I have to learn to deal with.

I think I've cracked it. Some things they don't tell you about SpringLayout, which I found out mostly by reading the source.
putConstraint is not symetrical. Logically
putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, container, 10, SpringLayout.WEST,
valueLab);might be expected to imply:
putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, valueLab, -10, SpringLayout.WEST,
container);But it doesn't. Only the first object in the call is actually constrained.
Secondly the "overconstraint" thing is very arbitary. Setting the NORTH or WEST clears the EAST or SOUTH wherease setting the EAST or SOUTH clears the height or width. Hence if you set, for example, EAST and WEST then it's essential to set EAST first, otherwise WEST will be ignored and the WEST will be set from EAST - width. There seems to be no way of clearing a constraint once set, and constraints are intialised from the objects bounds, so NORTH and WEST are always set to zero initially. If seems like the contraints are almost always going to be treated as overconstrained.
Parallel constraints don't get combined, the last one specified predominates so there doesn't seem any sensible way of, for example, setting the width of a container based on the maximum of the widths of fields contained.
There seems to be no use of the springiness of Spring objects. They are merely treated as min, pref and max values. Logically stretchiness should be used to distribute space, and to cope with springs in parallel. It doesn't appear any of that stuff is done.

Problems after transfering Cost centers with LSMW

Hi,
I have a problem after transfering Cost Centers with LSMW.
The first Batch input run created all cost centers in one CC Group erroneously - cause they should be placed in different CC groups.
I changed LSMW settings and made another batch input run - now the Cost centers were created in proper groups. I think that I deleted all CC's created in previous batch input run, but now I am not too sure, because there is a problem...
Cost centers exist both in their proper groups and in the one group mentioned by me before. So there is such situation that Cost center appears in Standar hierarchy twice at the same time.
When I delete cost centers - they are removed from their proper groups but the CC entry remains in that one group - all CC are there inactive.
How can I get rid of them. I tried deleting them - but it's impossible - the system doesn't see them.
When I run the batch input again - the same cost centers appear in proper groups and at the same time they become active in the one group. The standard hierarchy group is not UNIQE.
Please advice me how to delete these entries from standard hierachy.
Best wishes,
Karol

Hi,
Always recommended before loading into live system: upload in test system and check. check again just to make sure all is correct before real load.
In your case you probably would have been best to do a group change after incorrect upload.
Do Ambiguity check in stadnard hierarchy to explore all incorrect entries. Depending on your version yo ucan change in that function (ECC6) ore need to run a report. Before running the report check that CC master records have correct entry. The report is RKCORRH1
Again, try in QA first and run in Test Run
Good luck

JOptionPane not centered with Frame

Using JOptionPane.ShowMessageDialog() and the dialog does not center with the frame. How do I get the dialog to be centered with the frame? I tried setLocation() but that didn't work.

Simply use the JFrame as your parent component, e.g.:
JOptionPane.ShowMessageDialog(theFrame, etc...) That should work...

Balances of sevaral profit centers with various currencies in same report?

How do I center objects (photos and animations) so they stay centered with the other page elements?

How do I center objects (photos and animations) so they stay centered with the other page elements?

Geez .. Your class doesn't fulfill the javabean specifications. The properties should not be public.
It should rather look likepublic class TheAddress {
    // Properties ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    private String address1;
    private String address2;
    // Constructors -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    public TheAddress() {
        // Default constructor.
    public TheAddress(String address1, String address2) {
        // Full constructor.
        this.address1 = address1;
        this.address2 = address2;
    // Getters ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    public String getAddress1() {
        return address1;
    public String getAddress2() {
        return address2;
    // Setters ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    public void setAddress1(String address1) {
        this.address1 = address1;
    public void setAddress2(String address2) {
        this.address2 = address2;
}

Profit centers with COPA

Hi,
I have a few doubts about the need of EC-PCA in a project where COPA is being implemented.
The client would like to get info about the profitabilyty of organisation units as well as products, groups of products, clients and so on.
However he is unable to assign materials to only one profit center (which would be production departaments in this case). Different Finished goods, semi finished goods, wares and services can be assigned to more than one production departament. (a material index cannot be assigned to only one PC in this case).
What would u advise me? Should I use EC-PCA but change the PC hierarchy or COPA is enough for these purposes?
Best wishes,
Karol

Dear Karol,
Here the some infirmation is about Profit center related and cost center.hope this infirmation will helps you
You would need check the design of PCA and what the business wants to use PCA for. For example do you want to produce P&L Statements and or Balance Sheets by Profit centers etc.
In terms of the cost center assignment to profit centers, the main use of this is to ensure that all costs posted to a cost center will be simultaneously posted to the assigned Profit center. Now in PCA configuration you have to create a "Dummy Profit Center", the consequence of this is that if a profit center cannot be derived (for example if you do not maintain a profit center in the material master) or from the cost center or a profit center is not entered in a posting, the entry will be automatically posted to the "Dummy" profit center.
In terms of design, we are faced, in certain circumstances when we design PCA along the product lines for example, what to do with certain postings such as bank charges or admin costs, which are not directly attributable to the product line.
One way to treat these, is to Create a "Corporate" or "ADMIN" Profit center and assign all the service cost centers to this Profit center and at month end re-allocate to the Product Line Profit center via Distribution or Assessment for example based on sales volume or fixed amounts or percetntages or SKF's to make the reporting more meaningful
create additional profit centers and assign all admn, IT other than production cost centers to either Common, Admin or Corporate profit centers. Suggest you create following non product cost centers
1) Corporate
2) Admin
3) Product Common
Assign profit centers to cost centers logically
In MM master records assign product related profit centers to RM and FG / SFG material types. This takes care from material accounting point of view in PCA
For transfer of costs collected in Non Product related profit centers proceed as follows
1) Create PCA assessment Cycles
2) At month end allocate these expenses and check cost in non product profit centers is zero.
3) Decide on the allocation basis
4) This ensures that you have PCA wise all P&L items accounted.
5) You can then design PCA wise report painter reports for PCA wise P&L
Hope the above will help you
Prem.

Centering with CSS inside a div box

Am subbing on a job, would appreciate help:
I am trying to center the three columns inside the address
box at the bottom
of the page.
http://www.mariagrist.net/dev/motors/bodyshop.htm
It should look just like the box at the bottom of the main
page
http://www.mariagrist.net/dev/motors/default.html
but with content centered.
I copied the divs from the default.htm but am changing them
in order to try
to center the content. So far I have only made it worse
because now the
columns are all on top of each other.
Thanks

Thanks heaps, that's exactly what I wanted it to do.
Aren't these forums just magnificent.

Import profit centers with DTW

Hi All,
Is it possible to import profit centers into the SAP B1 2007A with DTW, ?
I have to create 50 profit centers in a company, I cannot find template to import profit centers in the DTW:
Is it possible?
Another way to use copy express, because these profit centers are in another B1 company, but I cannot find the possibility in the Copy Express to copy profit centers. Where can I find?
Thanks: Veronika

Hi,
Their are no ways... Even by programming, no interface exists in the DI-API for this object.
Your only solution is either to create them from hand or by direct import in the DB (which I don't recommend).

Eric

Nested Panels with SpringLayout

I've been attempting to use nested JPanels, each with a SpringLayout. However, this seems to cause some very strange behaviour with component scrolling off the left edge of the window unless it's sized narrow. I've not used SpringLayout much, but I'm at a loss to explain it.
I have:
    protected void setUpGUI() {
        //set up layout
        SpringLayout theLayout=new SpringLayout();
        super.getContentPane().setLayout(theLayout);
        //add EntryPane
        super.getContentPane().add(theEntryPane);
        theLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.NORTH,theEntryPane,5,SpringLayout.NORTH,super.getContentPane());
        theLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST,theEntryPane,5,SpringLayout.WEST,super.getContentPane());
        theLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.EAST,super.getContentPane(),5,SpringLayout.EAST,theEntryPane);
        //set up buttons
        storeButton=new JButton("Store");
        refreshButton=new JButton("Refresh");
        //add buttons
        super.getContentPane().add(storeButton);
        theLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.NORTH,storeButton,5,SpringLayout.SOUTH,theEntryPane);
        theLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST,storeButton,5,SpringLayout.WEST,super.getContentPane());
        theLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.SOUTH,super.getContentPane(),5,SpringLayout.SOUTH,storeButton);
        super.getContentPane().add(refreshButton);
        theLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.NORTH,refreshButton,5,SpringLayout.SOUTH,theEntryPane);
        theLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST,refreshButton,5,SpringLayout.EAST,storeButton);
        theLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.SOUTH,super.getContentPane(),5,SpringLayout.SOUTH,refreshButton);
    }In my subclass of JFrame, and 'theEntryPane' is a subclass of JPanel which includes the following:
    protected void addComponent(Component comp){
        add(comp);
        theLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST,comp, 5,SpringLayout.WEST,this);
        theLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.EAST,this,5,SpringLayout.EAST,comp);
        if(lastComponent==null){
            theLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.NORTH,comp,5,SpringLayout.NORTH,this);
        } else {
            theLayout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.NORTH,comp,3,SpringLayout.SOUTH,lastComponent);
        lastComponent=comp;
    }My subclass of JFrame has a similar method that simply passes the component on to theEntryPane. When I run it and add the following components:
addComponent(new JLabel("Thing!"));
        addComponent(new JLabel("Thing!"));
        addComponent(new JLabel("Thing!"));The buttons at the bottom are off to the left, and only return when you make the window narrow. If I make my nested pane override getPreferredSize() to return Integer.MAX_VALUE for both dimensions, the buttons at the bottom (which are in a different container!) appear correctly but the top two labels in the nested frame suffer from the same problem.
Can anyone shed any light onto what's going on here? It appears that the nested layouts are somehow interfering with one another.

Found the error. Fixed now.

Centering with layers problem

I have a problem centering a layer that has an image with
relative positioning. I've replicated this phenomena with some
basic code to make it easy to convey:
I would like to position a layer with an image that is
horizontally center to the page regardless of the screen
resolution. I created a div tag called "layer1" with the
appropriate descriptors below. This "appears" to center the image,
but when I take my pencil and measure the left and right of the red
box, it is clear that there are different measurements. When I
center text just above the centered image, it is immediately
apparent that the jpeg is not totally in the center. I've tried
looking at it in 800x600 and higher resolutions, all with the same
results.
This is a big deal since the more complicated code where I am
trying to center the layer with the image offsets images to where
the entire page looks jumbled.
I've attached the html code so you can see what I am doing.
The image is just a red box that I made with GIMP.
Can anyone see my error?

> regardless of the screen resolution
Just so you'll know, this is NOT a resolution issue. It's a
browser
viewport width issue. The same page will look the same on
*any* resolution
screen as long as the browser viewport is the same width in
pixels on all
screens.
Put a border around your "pseudo-layer" (it's not a layer)
and you'll see
that it is in fact completely centered on all browser widths
on any
resolution screen.

Problem with springlayout

I'm pretty new in java programming and just got a question.
I used one of the spring layout exampels on java.sun.com and wanted to develop it a little. Just to put another JLabel into the JFrame.
Here is my code
import javax.swing.SpringLayout;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import java.awt.Container;
public class SpringDemo2 {
     * Create the GUI and show it. For thread safety,
     * this method should be invoked from the
     * event-dispatching thread.
    private static void createAndShowGUI() {
        //Make sure we have nice window decorations.
        JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
        //Create and set up the window.
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("SpringDemo2");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        //Set up the content pane.
        Container contentPane = frame.getContentPane();
        SpringLayout layout = new SpringLayout();
        contentPane.setLayout(layout);
        //Create and add the components.
        JLabel label = new JLabel("Label: ");
        JLabel test = new JLabel("hej! ");
        JTextField textField = new JTextField("Text field", 15);
        contentPane.add(label);
        contentPane.add(test);
        contentPane.add(textField);
        //Adjust constraints for the label so it's at (5,5).
        layout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, label, 5, SpringLayout.WEST, contentPane);
        layout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.NORTH, label, 5, SpringLayout.NORTH, contentPane);
        layout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, test, 5, SpringLayout.EAST, contentPane);
        layout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.NORTH, test, 5, SpringLayout.NORTH, label);
        //Adjust constraints for the text field so it's at
        //(<label's right edge> + 5, 5).
        layout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, textField, 5, SpringLayout.EAST, label);
        layout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.NORTH, textField, 5, SpringLayout.NORTH, contentPane);
        //Display the window.
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread:
        //creating and showing this application's GUI.
        javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                createAndShowGUI();
}The problem is that the JLabel with the text "hej" doesn't get visible.
someone who got a solution?
thanks!

you can do this if you want the components to be visible during startup, without manually resizing the JFrame:
layout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.EAST, contentPane, 5, SpringLayout.EAST, textField);
layout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.SOUTH, contentPane, 5, SpringLayout.SOUTH, textField);
or
frame.pack();
frame.setSize(250, 100);
frame.setVisible(true);
hth.
