Close one vi and open another

Hi
Is it possible to open another vi when I click a button and close the current vi.
thanks

Here, try this. Enter the path to the VI you want to launch and run the program. When you press the button, the VI you specified will be launched and the program will be closed.

Closing one GUI and opening another?

Hi guys,
(I didnt really know which forum to post this in, so apologies in advance if this is the wrong one).
I have created a login screen for a system, LoginScreen.java, which accepts a username and password and checks these on the server for validity. This all works fine.
Once an account is accepted as valid I would like for the login screen to close, and the actual main GUI, Client.java, to open.
Can anyone tell me the code for doing this? (closing one GUI and opening another).
Please ask if you need more information on my code.
Many thanks!

You can make the Client.java as your main program then just call the LoginScreen.java.
import javax.swing.*;
public class Client extends JFrame {
public static void main (String[] args) {
     Login log = new Login();
     log.show();
// Here you can put validation if the user is valid before displaying the main GUI
// If valid user
     Client clt = new Client();
clt.show();
// } else {
// System.exit(0);
public Client() {
     super("Client Java");
     setSize(400, 300);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
class Login extends JFrame {
public Login() {
     super("Login Java");
     setSize(200, 300);
}

Closing one applet and open another...

Hi all,
What I currently have is a very basic applet that requires you to type in your password and follow by pressing the OK button. What I want it to do is following the pressing of the OK button, I want that initial applet to close and have another applet open. It doesn't seem too over the top difficult but right now I have no idea. Please help.
Thank you

I do work with applets. Reply #4 is the correct one IMHO.
If you don't understand what he is saying, I will try to put it
in other words.
1. Login dialog. Once your applet starts, it will display nothing
essential, perhaps just a nice background and it will open a
dialog for userid-password. If authentication is ok, close the
userid-password dialog and display in your applet whetever you
have in mind.
2. Card layout. Your applet will start by asking for userid-password
in its area inside the page. When authentication ok, display whatever
the applet is supposed to display.
In both scenarios, there are no two applets, but a single applet that
changes from state 1 (authentication) to state 2 (display data).
The only difference between the two scenarios is aesthetic,
i.e. do you want a popup for userid-password or you want it inside the
page? I would go with the card layout. Both are relatively easy.

Getting Powerpoint to close running presentation, and open another?

Background: Using a Mac Mini (10.4.8) to drive a Digital Signage display. Apache/PHP/MySQL serves a web interface that runs Python scripts that send serial commands (Via Keyspan USB-Serial) to control the display. All that works. There's also a way to upload Powerpoint files to the system, and Powerpoint is always running to provide display content. I'm using folder actions and Applescript to provoke the display of the content once it's uploaded. This is where I get into trouble:
I was just opening the file (a Powerpoint Slideshow) and that works the first time. But the next time I do it, it opens another hidden window, so it looks like the content never updates.
So I'm trying to tell application Microsoft Powerpoint to stop the slideshow and close the file, then re-open the file. This part I can't figure out. I can't get Powerpoint to do anything.
I've been using Macs for years and can do PHP/MySQL and Python, but the sad fact is I don't know jack about Applescript. I've also just realized I don't have my existing code handy to post. It's on a computer behind a firewall at work. Sorry, I'll post my code tomorrow.
In the meantime, if someone wanted to wanted to crank out some psuedo-code for me, almost anything would probably help me understand what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks,
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.8)

OK, now I'm even more confused.
Telling Powerpoint to stop the show and close open documents works. If I make a script that's just:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
try
tell application "Finder"
open document file "display.pps" of folder "Powerpoint" of folder "Shared" of folder "Users" of startup disk
end tell
end try
end adding folder items to
...that also works to open the file like I want.
BUT... If I put both the Powerpoint commands and Finder commands in the same script, Powerpoint will close the file like it's supposed to, but the file never opens in the finder.
So, why won't the 2nd part work when it's after the first part in the same script, but it will work when it's all by itself?
Thanks for any advice or help,

Close current gui and open another?

how can i close the current gui and then open another? what would be a suitable way to so? so far i do it using the following code but it does not close the current window and it takes a couple of seconds to load the other gui screen..
   private void btn_registerActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
         Register Register_gui = new Register();
         Register_gui.setTitle("Login");
         Register_gui.setSize(467, 460);
         Register_gui.getSize();
         Register_gui.setVisible(true);// TODO add your handling code here:
         new Login().setVisible(false);
    }

Instead of new Login().setVisible(false); use dispose();This assumes that the event handler is a member of the frame you want to close. If not, you'll have to provide the handler with a reference.

I CLICK ON ONE LAYER AND OPEN ANOTHER

Hello. I'm having a problem with selecting the layer I want to work in in Photoshop CC. Let's say I have a white background. I'm on the Type tool. I click 'create a new layer' . In the Layers panel, it now says: [ T ] Layer 1. On the page I now type "1111". Back in the Layers pallet (for no good reason) I mindlessly click on [ T ] Layer 1 and it turns into: [ T ] 1111. I didn't ask it to change its title to that, but it just did. So I think, well, I'm not finished with this page, so I want to get right back on it. So in the Layers pallet I click onto what is now called: [ T ] 1111 (to let the layers panel know I want to work on that same page again), and what does it do? It doesn't let me work on that page. It makes a brand new layer called, once again: [ T ] Layer 1.
After tooling around with this all day, desiring to type onto the layer that I selected, I made a discovery. If I click first onto the desired layer in the Layers pallet, in this case: [ T ] 1111, and then click exactly on top of the writing on the page itself, I will be allowed back onto this layer. But if I click onto any white space around it, it will create yet another layer in the Layers pallet.
After Googling around, I thought Oh. Maybe this is because my Auto-Select is on? I did in fact use it before. So I click it off. No difference. I shut Photoshop on and off. No difference.
I'm wondering if anyone else has met this challenge? And if you'd be able to help me I'd be really and truly grateful!

First thing to try is reset Preferences. I can't see what OS you are using so
Hold down Shift Ctrl Alt immediately after starting Photoshop (Shift Cmd Opt on a Mac)
If still no joy, are you using a mouse or tablet as your point device? Is it problematic in other apps?
Try working through this
http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-mos t-issues.html
If still stuck, we need to know Operating system? Photoshop CC or CC 2014? any hardware that might be an issue (i.e. Wacom tablet or Cintiq, wireless mouse, trackpad etc. Any other information that would help

Close the current UI and open another one

Hello everyone,
I've got the following code and I want to close the current window and open another one. When i use "System.exit(1);" it closes everything when I use "this.dispose()" it doesn't close anything what could I try to get this to work? any suggestions?
the code is:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;

    public Equip_or_Job() {
        //Create and set up the window.
        dFrame = new JFrame("Work with Jobid or Equipid");
        dFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        //Create and set up the panel.
        jePanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(2, 1));
        dFrame.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());

this method should be invoked from the

    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();
thanks in advance :o)

I'm not exactly sure what you want to do, but...:
dFrame.setVisible(false) hides the current Frame and the application is still running

Click on link in one portlet and open in another portlet

how do you click on link in one portlet and open in another portlet?

Hrmm... This is a IBM Question..
Officially this is a meaningless buzzword promoted by IBM. Portals are some sort of Servlet but IBM incapable of explaining how they differ from ordinary Servlets. Some speculate they are used to present a webpage with many services on it such as a search engine, and news that come from diverse sources. The user is able to dynamically configure the contents and layout of the page much like Netscape home pages
I don't understand what yhour asking..
I am assuming you want to call another servlet (portlet)? That would be absurd to do .. You let the HTTP request and XML file to deal with the response of the portlet

How can I give a name to excel sheet and open another one?

Hello!
I use CSVWriter for writing in excel file.
I have 2 questions:
1. How can I give a name to a Sheet in excel file?
2. How can I save the first Sheet and open another one with a different name?
Thanks!

This is the equivalent in Apache POI which may or may not help. I've never used CSVWriter.
HSSFSheet sheet1 = workbook.createSheet("sheet1Name");
HSSFSheet sheet2 = workbook.createSheet("sheet2Name");Then you can use either sheet object to write your contents. Look at the documentation for CSVWriter that pertains to sheets as it should tell you how.

Why do my animated themes only work the first time I open the window? Every one that I have tried stops animating if I close the window and open a new one.

The headline pretty much sums up my problem. Basically, I picked a few different animated themes to try out in the Add-Ons section to personalize my browser window. They look great initially, and in the window that is open when I actually enable the theme. However, if I close that window and open a new one, the theme is stationary and no longer animates.

Sorry......I was just too impulsive. ( Maybe because it was 4 AM at Taiwan, and I was still trying to solve the problem= = )
Although to install the add-on "Personas Shuffler" can solve the problem to me, I don't think it was the BEST solution. This evening, I read why the add-on "Personas Shuffler" was made, and found that the BEST solution is:
1. Open a new tab, and type "about:config" at the URL bar, then search for "lightweightthemes" with the filter.
2. Change the values of "lightweightThemes.persisted.footerURL" and "lightweightThemes.persisted.headerURL" from true to false( by double click on them).
3. After doing so, restart Firefox and you will see it works! You don't have to install any add-on.

When I close Firefox and open another instance of it to look at a new site I get a pop up window telling me Firefox hasn't shutdown yet.

When I close Firefox and open another instance of it to look at a new site I get a pop up window telling me Firefox hasn't shutdown yet. I am aware of tabs, but I prefer to just open new windows.
Do I really need a pop up window telling me that I just closed Firefox? Is there a way to disable it in options? I can't even use Buzof program to auto click for me. I've never had this issue with any other browser and I find it incredibly annoying.

I am not clear what you mean by:
''the program will only alow 1 website for each time I boot my machine,''
Are you talking about Firefox or something else in the above statement. Firefox will, or should allow you to open quite a few tabs at startup if you wish, although it will be faster the fewer that you do open.
When you say
''I close it the program does not completely close ''
Again what is happening, what error messages if any do you see, and what exactly makes you think Firefox is not closing properly.
Presumably you have already clicked on the blue links in my first post and read those articles.

When I switch between networks firefox is not working. I will have to close the browser and open it again!?

Hi,

Every time i close my macbook and open it the airplay icon disappears from both the menu bar and itunes

every time i close my macbook and open it the airplay icon disappears from both the menu bar and itunes or i get an error when i try to use it
do you know why and how to solve this problem?

Hi Colin,
A couple of things you can try:
Open System Preferences and click on Network. Click on the small gear icon below the list of connections and select Set Service Order. Move your AirPort connection up to the top of the list so it will be first in line when your computer searches for connections. (It's probably looking for ethernet connections first..the normal default..and finding none, it then looks for wireless. This takes time.
Click on your AirPort connection again to highlight it and then click Advanced in the lower right of the pane. Make sure your wireless network is at the top of the list. Delete other networks that you don't need.
Finally, make sure there is a check mark in the box next to "Remember any network this computer has joined".
See if one of these actions will help.

If I close the computer and open it back up, it sometimes stops for a little while, then will spontaneously start again. Any help would be truly appreciated. Thanks!

See this knowledge base article. Also, you might want to update to 10.6.8 (don't know that that will fix your problem, but it's the latest version of Snow Leopard).
