Change owner of a dialog box.

I have a JFrameA that open up a JDialogA. When the dialog is close, I just hide the dialog instead of disposing it. JFrameA can open up JFrameB. JFrameB can open up JDialogA, but since the dialog was show(), it owner is still JFrameA. JFrameA pop in front when JDialogA is close. Is there anyway to change the owner of JDialogA without having to create a new one????

Pfft. Probably premature optimization -- have you timed how long it takes to create a new dialog box as opposed to creating a new one? If it makes a difference (which I doubt) then create one dialog box per frame.

Magic Mouse changes the values in dialog boxes

When working in Photoshop and saving files, I noticed that a sideways swipe on the Magic Mouse will change the values in dialog boxes. Unfortunately, it's a little too sensitive. When saving as JPEG and reaching for the keyboard to hit Return for OK, my hand will sometimes lightly brush against the mouse. This invariably has the effect of lowering the JPEG compression amount to zero and ruining the image, so I must turn this feature off or abandon this mouse. Is there a way to do so?

The horizontal scroll is a pain in the a$$ IMO and many others to. The way to disable it is to type (copy/paste) into a Termainal window the following command line (this is one line, it's shows wrapped due to the forum display layout):
defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse MouseHorizontalScroll -bool NO
Turn your mouse off and back on and you will then have no more horizontal scrolling.
To reenable the horizontal scroll change the No to YES in the command.
There's a little GUI application that can do this for you if you feel uncomfortable using terminal. It's called MagicMouse Scroll. You have to read the text there to dig out the download link so here's that download link for your convenience:

You still have to turn your mouse off and back on to get the setting to take effect.

How I change the save image dialog box view from oldest to newest first as the default?

My save image dialog box has the oldest file in the folder in the upper left position (using list). I want to change it to the newest file shown first. It used to be that way, but now it showing oldest first. I haven't found any guidance on defaults for this box. Thanks.

Leave it to Apple. When I first got the phone, that's the way they were configured. Now that they've flipped around, there's now way to change it!

Changing the size of dialog boxes

Hi
I like a big dialog box so that I can see an extensive list of folders on the left. Instead of changing the shape of it manually any time I save, export, open, place, etc, I would like it to remain a certain size.
I discovered that if I close all my windows, open a new file, (change my dialog box in the process), save and close, the size of the dialog box remains the same.
However I have not figured out a way to do this for export and place. So I still have a small box for those tasks.
Can anyone suggest a way to define the size of the boxes??
thanks
Pete

Illustrator CS2 Start up - Convert color mode dialog box

Using Illustrator CS2, on opening, the usual loading prescreen appears, after which a dialog box appears showing the following text
"Convert Color Mode"
"The document contains objects using both CMYK and RGB color modes. Illustrator allow only one color mode per document. Which color mode would you like to use? (RGB and CMYK appear as option boxes)"
This dialog box appears every time I open Illustrator, even though I'm not actually opening a document.
I've tried adjusting the Color Settings (Edit> Color Settings) but this hasn't affected the dialog box appearing.
I've checked all the usual sources of help but can't identify any cures.
I want to be able to change this so the dialog box no longer appears as it tends to "hide" behind all the other applications I have open at the time and can be difficult to get to, meaning opening Illustrator is a 5 minute battle.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You haven't messed with the startup .ai files have you?
You might try deleting the ai prefs file (see FAQ), though that might be a reach in this case.

Crystal 10 RCD and Windows (Advanced) Print Dialog Box

Years ago I wrote a Crystal Viewer program and Crystal Support showed me how to change the Viewer Print Dialog box so it would use the Advanced Print Dialog (I believe it used the Windows Print Dialog). Does anyone know how to set the RDC Viewer to use a Print Dialog that allows changing the printer and not just the default Print Dialog box that only shows settings for the default windows printer? I no longer have the source code for the program I wrote before and can't remember what to set and I have now written a new Viewer that I want to include the ability to change printers.

Adobe Reader XI all dialog box's corrupt

It looks like any dialog box in XI is corrupt. This machine is windows 7 pro 32 bit OS.

all dialog box's look like this regardless of which box you pull up.

Updating Dialog Box

Hi, I have this dialog box in my program, and in this dialog box, there's this dropdown menu for choosing some predefined fonts. What I did was that I set action listener for that menu but it seems that I can not change anything once the dialog box is shown(). please please help. I'm looking for some kind of update method, meaning that I'm looking for this method that would update my dialog after i change one of it's components.
Thanx

If you attached the Menu to your DialogBox and wrote the action Listener in the Dialog Box than you can easily handle menu in actionCommand(). I think you have forgotten to call menu.addActionListener(this).
Otherwise if you want to handle the menu selection event in the Parent window of Dialog box than you should go for Modeless Dialog BOx not Model DialogBox.

I have a dialog window on my iPad2 labeled iCloud Bakup -- the iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. The screen is frozen. I can't clear away the dialog box to close down iPad and I can't get to settings to make any changes there. Ideas?

A dialog box has appeared on the screen of my iPad2 and has frozen the device so that I can't close it down or make changes to the settings. The titel is "iCloud Backup" and it reads: This iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to WiFi.
I'm not sure why it hasn't backed up but I can't do anything to clear the dialog box, turn off the device or get to any settings or apps on the device.
Any suggestions? Please help -- I'm caring for my mother in hospice and don't have time to deal with this at the Apple Store!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until the device restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again.
It will try to make a backup every time your iPad is plugged to the charger and connected to a network. To prevent that this message appears soon, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, and choose Backup Now

Keyboard input to change the default selection in a dialog box.

Hello,
Let say I close a file that I had just edited without saving. I'll then have a dialog box "do you want to save?" with "yes" as default. If I do not want to save my changes, how can I select "no" or "cancel" with the keyboard?
I'm sure this is an easy one for a long time Mac user.
Thanks

As a matter a fact there is. Just hit the first letter of the choice n = no, c=cancel etc. Edit. I tested this in Word for Mac and it worked but other programs don't so the method below is best.
An alternate method is to tab to the choice and hit enter.
Cheers

TS1389 when i changed my browser to IE 8, I am no longer able to play the songs I purchased. I keep getting a dialog box saying "this computer is not authorized to play this song. Would you like to authorize it? The box has an old apple ID . How do I get

I try to play the Itunes song I purchased. I have a new computer, another internet provider since I purchased the songs, and have switched to a new internet browser Internet Explorer 8. I keep getting a dialog box saying "this computer is not authorized to play the song. would you like to authorize it?
An old Apple ID popps up and I am asked for the old passwork which I no longer remember. I successfully changed to a new Apple ID and password.
when I enter that, a new dialog box appears, saying "this computer is already authorized." When I try to play the song the first box appears again,
I I go round over and over, with no success playing my songs. Can anybody out their resolve this? Thanks for any help

Were these songs purchased using another account?
" I opened a new iTunes account and copied the files to the new account. "
Do you mean to a new library?
Account is a user neame and password with which you purchase content.
A library is your collection of media.

How to change gtk theme dialog box button appearance when using tab?

Hi,
I'm using candido as my gtk theme and have noticed that when a dialog box pops up (Yes / No), it is extremely difficult to tell which option is highlighted. How do I change this appearance? I searched through the gtkrc and even used gimp to manipulate the images used via trial and error to see if I found one that worked. Can someone familiar with gtk themes tell me which gtkrc or image to alter to affect this appearance?
I use tab to select my option a ton and hate not being able to tell what I'm looking at.
For reference,
- here is the current look (can you tell which one is highlighted? It's "Cancel" -- just slightly bigger or a fine line around it) LINK
- here is the gtkrc if that helps? LINK
For one more point of clarification, I'm not talking about the button appearance on mouseover. I have identified that the button-prelight.png file changes that. I specifically am talking purely about a dialog popping up and then using the tab key alone to highlight through the options. I really like this theme, but this one thing drives me crazy. This appearance changes when I select different themes with lxappearance, so I've narrowed it down to being a gtk-theme issue, not my openbox theme or icon set.
Many thanks!

HI,
Debug the program after you press the CANCEL button , you will get where the conrol is flowing , And instead of using
Leave to screen '910' use Leave to screen 0.
