Change tab navigation keys in JTabbedPane

OK, what's the trick here?
I need to map a different pair of keys (replacing the default right/left keys) to manage tab selection in a JTabbedPane.
Anybody have some insight into this?

Well, as is so often the case after posting something, I found a discussion of a similiar issue with a JTable using a custom UI to manage keyboard assignments and this is working fine.
Except that now the selected tab color isn't getting set ...

Changing tabs order in the JTabbedPane (DnD)

Hi,
I have a JTabbePane with different tabs in it and I want to be able to drag one tab and insert between other two with the mouse. Kind of like you can reorder sheet tabs in MS Excel. Does any one have an idea how this behavior may be implemented?
Thanks a lot,
Ilya

Thanks for this idea. I misunderstood what you meant until Jeremy responded saying you were �right on the money�. I thought you meant that putting another plot in the array but making it transparent was going to help somehow, but now I understand that you mean plotting the �up front� data to a separate XY graph indicator which is transparent and overlaying the original XY graph. I may wind-up doing this. I�m just not excited about linking all the scaling info from one graph to the scaling of the transparent graph and creating the necessary event handling so that when the user scales one graph or changes the auto-scaling, the other graph�s scales gets updated, but perhaps it�s the only way. Thanks again for your input.

Not clear enough.
Different Themes render Tabbed navigation lists in different way. Take a look at the Tabbed Navigation List template on Page 0. You will need to customize this template to achieve what you want.

Adding a new Tab to an existing JTabbedPane not working

Hello all,
I am trying to add & display a new tab to an existing JTabbedPane when the user
clicks on a button. For some reason the new tab, being added is not being displayed, and I don't know why. I have called invalidate(), validate() on the parent containers but haven't had any luck. I have also played around with SwingUtilities.invokeLater() and the Event thread, but have been unsuccessfull.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

MS,
Try copying one existing TAB and use that, this happens only when there is improper xml content. You can open the xml in the browser/visual studio for better clarity and then try making the changes. Doing IIS Reset will be required but in the meanwhile you
can put the original RCDC which will work till the time you make any change in new TAB.

Need Help on How to Change The Encryption Key and or Change security settings

Hello, i just installed the wireless router and i would like to know how i can change the encryption key or change the security settings (i want it so you do not have to answer it with a password). Thank you in advance.
Message Edited by DARK_MARIO on 01-06-200706:10 PM

Hi…
In order to change the wireless settings of your router you need to login into the router configuration page. Open your internet explorer browser…in the address bar type http://192.168.1.1 ( Default IP address). Leave the username field balnk……type admin as password (If you have not changed the router password). When the setup page loads fully…..click on the tab that says wireless. Just below the main tab wireless ….click on the sub tab that says wireless security. You can Change the wireless security settings here. After the changes are made click on save settings.

Inserting tabbed navigation code makes my web page not display in design view..

Hi everyone..
I am on Dreamweaver 8 for MAC, and was working on a couple of web pages..these pages included divs and tables. But when I tried inserting a tabbed navigation I found at:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/tabcontent.htm
In a nutshell, it asked me for step 1 to:
Step 1: Insert the below CSS and script into the HEAD section of your page:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="tabcontent.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="tabcontent.js">
* Tab Content script v2.2- © Dynamic Drive DHTML code library (www.dynamicdrive.com)
* This notice MUST stay intact for legal use
* Visit Dynamic Drive at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code
</script>
The next step was this:
Step 2: Finally, simply add the below HTML to where you wish the Tab Content to appear on the page:
<h3>Demo #1- Basic implementation</h3>
<ul id="countrytabs" class="shadetabs">
<li><a href="#" rel="country1" class="selected">Tab 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="country2">Tab 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="country3">Tab 3</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="country4">Tab 4</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com">Dynamic Drive</a></li>
</ul>
<div style="border:1px solid gray; width:450px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 10px">
<div id="country1" class="tabcontent">
Tab content 1 here<br />Tab content 1 here<br />
</div>
<div id="country2" class="tabcontent">
Tab content 2 here<br />Tab content 2 here<br />
</div>
<div id="country3" class="tabcontent">
Tab content 3 here<br />Tab content 3 here<br />
</div>
<div id="country4" class="tabcontent">
Tab content 4 here<br />Tab content 4 here<br />
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var countries=new ddtabcontent("countrytabs")
countries.setpersist(true)
countries.setselectedClassTarget("link") //"link" or "linkparent"
countries.init()
</script>
<p><a href="javascript:countries.cycleit('prev')" style="margin-right: 25px; text-decoration:none">Back</a> <a href="javascript: countries.expandit(3)">Click here to select last tab</a> <a href="javascript:countries.cycleit('next')" style="margin-left: 25px; text-decoration:none">Forward</a></p>
<hr />
Well, I did all the steps required, but when I put this inside a div I had inside a table, all of a sudden I couldnt see anything in my design view, only two tables that arent even the same size..When I take out all this code, I get back my regular page..Can I see this tabbed navigation in my design view? Unfortunately, I dont have the spry widgets since I am on Dreamweaver 8..If I preview it in both Safari and Firefox (on Mac Firefox/3.0.8) (Safari 3.2.1) I can see everything fine, including the tabbed navigation..But designing in code isnt really helpful because I want to see what it looks like in design view, in case we change things-its just easier for me to work on..So I assume there is something in this code that is making my design view show nothing..
Update:I tried taking out the code again, but this time, I couldnt see anything again, even without this code..
I know that I can go to validation website, and I got a lot of errors-but all the pages I have that are in the same style have those same errors too—and they display fine..its only when I insert this specific piece of code that everything goes haywire..Is it even possible to view tabbed navigations (like the one in the above link) inside of Dreamweaver Design View?
Any help would be appreciated..

DW8 doesn't render any dynamic content, so I'd say it's a no go. You'll just have to live with that limitation or upgrade to CS4...

Applet TAB navigation not working with 1.4.1_01

I recently upgraded to Java version 1.4.1_01. Now, when I load my applets, the TAB key cannot be used for navigation until I open the Java console and then close it again. To ensure that my the threads in my specific Applet are not the problem, I came up with the following test applet:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import javax.swing.BoxLayout;
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
public class TestApplet extends JApplet {
    public void init() {
        super.init();
    public void start() {
        JPanel myPanel = new JPanel();
        myPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(myPanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
        JTextField textField1 = new JTextField("Text Field 1");
        myPanel.add(textField1);
        JTextField textField2 = new JTextField("Text Field 2");
        myPanel.add(textField2);
        JTextField textField3 = new JTextField("Text Field 3");
        myPanel.add(textField3);
        getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.CENTER, myPanel);
    public void stop() {
        super.stop();
}To ensure that my build environment/options are not the problem, I compiled this applet as follows:
javac TestApplet.java
I then came up with the following HTML file for the applet:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Test Applet</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0" BGCOLOR="white">
<APPLET
CODE=TestApplet.class
WIDTH=635
HEIGHT=500
ALIGN=left
VSPACE=10
HSPACE=10
>
</APPLET>
</BODY>
</HTML>When I access this test applet, again I am not able to navigate among the text fields with the TAB key. However, if I open the Java console, close it right back up, and refresh my applet, the TAB navigation works. I've tried simply refreshing my applet (as well as a hundred other things) and have had no success.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Looks like this is related to Bug #4707289. To fix this,
I added the following lines to the above applet:
textField1.setFocusable(true);
textField2.setFocusable(true);
textField3.setFocusable(true);

Script to change keyboard modifer keys?

I'm trying to create a login script to use with Workgroup Manager that will allow me to change the keyboard modifer keys on a client machine. I've done a search and found a few scripts but they don't seem to work. For example the following script:
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.keyboard"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
click button "Modifier Keys…" of tab group 1 of window "Keyboard & Mouse"
set curOpt to (get value of pop up button 3 of sheet 1 of window "Keyboard & Mouse")
set curCmd to (get value of pop up button 4 of sheet 1 of window "Keyboard & Mouse")
tell sheet 1 of window "Keyboard & Mouse"
tell pop up button 3
click
click menu item curCmd
end tell
tell pop up button 4
click
click menu item curOpt
end tell
end tell
click button "Ok" of sheet 1 of window "Keyboard & Mouse"
end tell
end tell
quit
end tell
I am trying to get this to work on OS X 10.6 with no luck. Firstly I have seperate options in System Preferences for Keyboard and Mouse settings (the script above points to window "Keyboard & Mouse") and secondly, even after changing the "Keyboard & Mouse" to just "Keyboard" I get an error message about not being about to locate button "Modifier Keys...".
All I'm trying to do is change the Modifier Keys so that Crtl key is set to nothing. Could anyone help me out?

This could work... (tested with 10.6.7)... not very fast...
another idea could be a defaults write command, but I am not sure which prefs-file you would have to edit.. maybe .GlobalPreferences.plist...
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.keyboard"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
click button 1 of tab group 1 of window 1
set curOpt to (get value of pop up button 3 of sheet 1 of window 1)
set curCmd to (get value of pop up button 4 of sheet 1 of window 1)
click pop up button 4 of sheet 1 of window 1
my setbuttonitem(1)
click pop up button 3 of sheet 1 of window 1
my setbuttonitem(2)
click pop up button 2 of sheet 1 of window 1
my setbuttonitem(3)
click pop up button 1 of sheet 1 of window 1
my setbuttonitem(4)
delay 0.25
keystroke return
end tell
end tell
quit
end tell
on setbuttonitem(valueindex)
tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
repeat with i from 1 to 5
key code 126
delay 0.25
end repeat
repeat with i from 1 to valueindex - 1
key code 125
delay 0.25
end repeat
keystroke return
end tell
end tell
end setbuttonitem

Substitution syntax in tabbed navigation list. Smart or Lucky?

I've got a tabbed navigation list that I use on two separate pages.
The list entry points back to the current page but sets a page item value based on the list item value.
So this tabbed list might have items labeled E-mail, Phone, Address. When you click one of the list tab items it submits to the current page, sets a hidden field to EMAIL,PHONE, or ADDRESS. That hidden field controls which email,phone, or address region is displayed.
OK easy enough. Except that I use the same list on multiple pages. Rather than create a list for each page, I made it more generic...
So I set the item target as follows:
Target type: Page in this application
Page: &APP_PAGE_ID.
Set these items: P&APP_PAGE_ID._ALIAS_REGION
With these values: ADDRESS
Notice that I've got substitution type syntax for the target page and the NAME of the item whose value I want to set. For example if the list is rendered on page 2 the target page becomes 2 and the item name becomes P2_ALIAS_REGION. On page 7, they are 7 and P7_ALIAS_REGION respectively.
I also use this same syntax in the "Current List Entry" with a query like:
select 1 from dual where :P&APP_PAGE_ID._ALIAS_REGION = 'ACTIVE'
Now, I thought I was being clever in doing this, since it lets me use the same list on several similar pages. However the Apex Essentials Advisor is complaining about my syntax, and as awesome as that tool is, it got me thinking that I might be too clever for my own good.
Is it valid to use this substitution syntax in this context? I mean it works, but is it supposed to work this way? If this is by happy coincidence then Apex developers please don't change how this works. If this is by design, then you guys/girls are awesome!

Is it valid to use this substitution syntax in this context?Yes.
I mean it works, but is it supposed to work this way?Yes.
If this is by happy coincidence then Apex developers please don't change how this works.It is very unlikely that we would change any of the core substitution logic in ways that adversely affect behavior like this.
If this is by design, then you guys/girls are awesome!Aw, shucks.

Changing Tab Color

I have been struggling for a while with trying to change the color of a tab, after it's been displayed. Some background is that i have a multi tab window. If something happens in one of the windows, I want to bring attention to that tab and color the tab red.
I am dynamically adding the tabs to the tab navigator from database table. I read them in with their data and when I have them all I build up the tab navigator. My TabObject is really a Canvas that I have extended.
                private function AddTabsToTabNavigator():void
                    var lIsFirst:Boolean = true;
                    for each ( var lTab:TabHandler in mTabDictionary )
                        // Create our Frame Canvas that we are going to add to the Tab Navigator
                        var lTabItem:TabObject         = new TabObject();
                        lTabItem.name                  = lTab.GetTabName();
                        lTabItem.SetRefreshTime(lTab.GetTabRefreshInterval());
//lTabItem.setStyle( "tabStyleName", "tabStyleGreen" );
//lTabItem.styleName = Constants.TAB_STYLE_GREEN;
//TAB_NAVIGATOR.invalidateDisplayList();
lTabItem.setStyle( "backgroundColor", "green");
                        TAB_NAVIGATOR.addChild( lTabItem );
I've tried a number of things comented out here. I have a CSS and I can set the initial color of the tab no problem.
mx|TabNavigator
    tab-width: 110;
    horizontal-gap: 3;
    tabStyleName: tabStyleYellow;
    selectedTabTextStyleName: tabSelectedText;
.tabStyleYellow
    font-size: 10;

    fill-colors: yellow, #FFFFFF; /* #9D9DA0, #FFFFFF */
    fill-alphas: 1.0, 1.0;
    background-color: #FFFFFF; /*6486AC*/
But I don't see how I can go back and change the tab color.   Am I missing something
Here is another way I've tried.
                public function ChangeTabStyle( aTabName:String, aStyleName:String ):void
                     var lActiveTab:TabObject = TAB_NAVIGATOR.getChildByName( aTabName ) as TabObject;
//                    var lTab:DisplayObject = TAB_NAVIGATOR.getChildAt( mCurrentTabSelected ) as Tab
                    if ( null != lActiveTab )
                        lActiveTab.setStyle( "tabStyleName", "tabStyleBlue" );
//                        lActiveTab.styleName = aStyleName;
//                        lActiveTab.setStyle("fillColors", ["red", "white"]);
//                        lActiveTab.setStyle("backgroundColor", "red");

                     var lActiveTab:TabObject = TAB_NAVIGATOR.getChildByName( aTabName ) as TabObject;
//                    var lTab:DisplayObject = TAB_NAVIGATOR.getChildAt( mCurrentTabSelected ) as Tab
                    if ( null != lActiveTab )
                        lActiveTab.setStyle( "tabStyleName", "tabStyleBlue" );
//                        lActiveTab.styleName = aStyleName;
//                        lActiveTab.setStyle("fillColors", ["red", "white"]);
//                        lActiveTab.setStyle("backgroundColor", "red");

Changing tab focus with the keyboard

I've read about changing the tab focus from one page to another programmatically; however, I would like to have shortcut keys to change tabs (like many programs that use CTRL+Tab to change windows within the program).
I could use an event structure to capture keyboard button presses and then change the value of the tab control, but is there a more straightforward approach?
Thanks!

You can set all other controls not to be tabbed through and the tab control to have its pages tabbed through. That way, when you use tab, only the tab control's pages will be on the tabbing list. This, however, is probably less straightforward.
I'm not sure what's the problem with the method you outlined. In most cases, if you want something to happen, you will have to code it. This appeares to be one of those cases. You can make a subVI to do the tabbing for you, if you don't want to have to code all of it in your VI. Pass the reference of the tab control into the VI after you detect the event and use that to decide whether to increase or decrease the tab value. Be sure to cycle the number back to the first page when it reaches the end.

Tab navigation is not working on chrome and firefox

Hi Every One,
we are using jdev 11.1.1.6.
Navigation across tabs on click of tab on key board is not working on firefox and chrome.
Please help me with your inputs.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Lavanya.

Hi,
can you be more explicit in explaining what you want to achieve and what is not working? You mean that the tab menus are not getting in focus using the tab key? Have you tried setting clientComponent=true on them?
