Create Modal Preferences Dialog

I have a program that I want to add a Preferences Dialog to so if the user clicks Preferences, a Modal dialog opens. Then after the user clicks OK on the modal dialog, I want to retrieve all the updated values and if the user clicks Cancel, do not grab the changes the user may have made. I am having problems trying to figure out how to do this? I originally thought I should create a new JFrame and create my window like any other JFrames. But I discovered it is very difficult to try and make the JFrame modal. The easiest way seems to be to use a JDialog, but how can I create my own GUI for the JDialog? I have searched for examples and cannot find any. I must be using bad search terms or something. Thanks for all your help!

Do what exactly? Did you try listeners?So when I have the 2 buttons in the dialog, how do I connect the listeners to the parent window? Since I will create the JPanel in another class, the parent class won't know about the OK and Cancel buttons to know how to add listeners. I know in Qt with C++, you can connect signals to slots, but what listeners would you do this with for the buttons?
It's no different from creating an JFrame. It's a dialog with a content pane that you can fill.
Aaaaargh! The API docs even link to the "how to make dialogs" tutorial. Reading them is too difficult I suppose.No, you suppose wrong, reading the tutorials is not too difficult, I just missed the bit where it showed you can set the content pane of the JDialog just like you can with the JFrame. So sorry I just missed this in the tutorial, most of it seemed how to create nice little convenience dialogs and not custom dialogs, Thanks!

Trouble creating personal url and disabling color management in the printer preference dialog

I just purchased a new Canon Pro 9000 MKII which came with a new copy of Photoshop Elements 8. I registered the software and created a username and password successfully, but I am unable to created a personal URL for starting an online gallery. I keep getting error messages everytime I try. One message is that name is taken and the other simply says there is an error.
Second problem is when I try to print from Edit in Photoshop Elements 8 there is a message that states: " did you remember to disable color management in the printer preference dialog?" It is unclear to me how this can be done.
Any help with these two issues would be greatly appreciated
Thank you.
DG

Log in to the web page and try some different characters e.g.
green_11david_Y1973.photoshop.com
In the print dialog you need to click More Options and choose printer manages color if you want to use your printer/paper profile.

Javascript to add "Specify Open Preference" dialog when linking with "Go to a page view"

Hi, all!
We're needing to file a brief with the Court. Within our .pdf brief, we link to exhibits and transcripts.
For the exhibits, we hyperlink using "open a file," because going to the first page of the exhibit is fine. Here, after selecting our file, we're given the "Specify Open Preference" dialog, where you can either (a) go with the user's setting, (b) mandate opening the link in the same window or (c) mandate opening the link in a new window. This is perfect -- we always want a new window.
However, for the transcripts, we need it to go to a particular page, so we use "Go to a page view." This works fine, except that it ALWAYS and ONLY goes with the user preference. We want it to ALWAYS and ONLY open in a new window, so the Court can close the destination and be in the same place in the Source doc. I realize they can set their preference or use "return to previous view," but we can't really communicate that.
Is there a javascript -- or a plug-in we can purchase -- or anything -- that will somehow allow us to fix "Go to a page view" to open in a new window?
Thank you so much for your thoughts and help!
--ak

After creating a "Go to page view" type link you can go back end edit it and specify how you want the other document to open:
I realize this is a bit tedious, but that's how it's done.

Problem with non modal ADM dialog

I have problem with focus and mouse and keyboard event passing to non modal dialog if some modal window was opened and closed on Windows platform.
I have this problem in my plugin, but also I did some tests with SDK WordFinder Plugin.There are 2 dialogs open there : CountDialog-non modal dialog and PromtDialog-modal one. I commented all lines in function DeleteCountDialog to leave this dialog on the screen. So, first, when "create page map" menu is selected, CountDialog is appearing and stays on the screen. At this stage, it can be moved and get focus when is clicked.After that, I click on "find word by word offset" and then PromtDialog is appearing. when I close Promtdialog by clicking on OK or Cancel, CountDialog is "freezing" - means, it can not be moved and does not get focus when I click on it.
Is it known problem ? Is there is some workaround there ?
thanks in advance,
Lidia.

Thanks a lot for your response.
I did changes as you recommended, but still have the same result.
So I have WordFinder from Acrobat SDK 8 with only one file changed:WordFinderDlg.cpp - see below.The result is the same:
1. I open Acrobat->Open some file
2. Click on "Advanced->Acrobat SDK->Word Finder->create Page Map" menu
3. "count" non Modal Dialog is opened and working and then stays on the screen and can be moved without problem.
4. Now I click on "Advanced->Acrobat SDK->Word Finder->find Word By Offset" - Modal Promt Dialog is opened. click some number and then click ok - choosen word is selected in Acrobat. From this moment, first "Count" dialog is frosen - can be selected, can not be moved.
The only workaround I see here is to create non Modal dialog every time I close Modal one.
Could you please advice ? May I please send to you project in zip ?
I really need it ASAP ?
thanks in advance,
Lidia.

Is it possible in KM to change "create new file" dialog?

Is it possible in KM to change "create new file" dialog (Folder -> New -> Text File...) on consecution of my own screens(I mean user inputs information, presses next button, then again inputs information and so on)? And if its possible, could you please tell me how to do this. I'm new to KM as well as to SAP EP...

Hi Aliaksei,
the PDF referred to mainly explains how to configure commands (within layout sets etc), but as far as I understand your question, you want to develop your own screenflows / command. First, I definitely would disadvise a beginner in the EP/KM area to start with such a task...
Anyhow, there is a one-step-screenflow-command tutorial on SDN: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/kmc/implementing flexible ui one-step-screenflow.article
For more steps, you could start decompiling a command class of a command which is more or less similar to your needs (and the underlying classes) to get further insight.
If you really should get that far and have implemented your own command, you just can switch the implementation class if you want to change the logic for an existing command under System Admin - System Config - KM - CM - UI - Commands - UI Commands - <command in question> Java Class setting.
Hope it helps

Hi Timo.
In my application all the navigation rules are defined in faces-config.xml.
But I found following statement in the "fusion developers guide"
'**You cannot specify dialog:syntax in navigation rules within the faces-config.xml file if your Fusion web application uses ADF Controller features such as task flows. However, you can use the dialog:syntax in the control flow rules that you specify in the adfc-config.xml file.**'
Since, my application is using faces-config.xml for defining navigation rules and using task-flow as well, I suspect , this is the root of my problem.
Do u have any solution for it?
Thanks

How to create a modeless dialog using commandlink

when i click the buttonlink the dialog box is not in a stable state that is its will appear and within a second it will disappear .. can any one of them can suggest me how to create a modeless dialoge using commandlink or by jsf option button
regards
subramanian

If I had to guess (and I do :), the onclick is firing, bring up the dialog, but the commandLink causes a form submit, so the page is submitted. There is no action on the commandLink, so it's navigating back to the same page, causing it to refresh and your dialog to disappear. It would appear to me that you need a h:outputLink or simply <a href="# onclick="..." /"></a>

Create Partner Link dialog problem

I'm using the Create Partner Link dialog, called by right-clicking in the a bpel diagram view. First I select the wsdl file. At this point it askes me if I want to make a local copy of the wsdl file (warning me that it won't be referenceable at runtime unless I do). I answer no.
Then I select the link type, select MyRole, and leave PartnerRole unspecified (it's a synchronous invokation). When I click "OK" in the dialog nothing happens - the dialog doesn't close and there is no error message produced. I can cancel out of the dialog and the project appears unchanged, although the bpel file in the project shows in italics to indicate that it is changed.
Here's the wsdl file I'm referencing in the dialog. I'm guessing that the Create Partner Link dialog should be printing an error message to tell me what is doesn't like but no such message appears. Is this a bug?

I could be wrong, but on a sync call your destination WSDL should be setup as the provider and not requester. Ten the PartnerRole should be set and not MyRole.

Lightroom 6 for Mac crashes when trying to open preferences dialog

Hi,
I just installed an upgrade from LR 5.x to Lightroom 6 (not CC). Unlike other people who seem to have a problem with Lightroom 6 crashing on startup, the application works fine for me, except that it immediately crashes every time I try to open the Preferences dialog.
It does not matter if I try to access the preferences using the Cmd-, shortcut or through the Lightroom → Preferences menu item. There is an immediate crash every time.
Not that I have any urgent need to change any preferences—I just wanted to check if any preferences that might be new to Lightroom 6 needed adjustment.
It is on a MacBook Air running Yosemite 10.10.3.

In about:config I inadvertantly created a preference name of 'true' status =userset type=string. Will this harm me? How do I remove it? thanks...

Thanks ... I found the way to remove it in the following link:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
To reset a preference to its default value or to remove an added preference, context-click (right-click) on the preference and select Reset. If you added the entry via about:config, the preference will no longer be listed after restarting the program. (For more information about resetting preferences, see this article).

Create/Open Workbook dialog performance

Hi,
We use Discoverer Plus (Application Server version v10.1.2.2) and we have around 20,000 workbooks. All these workbooks are shared amoung all the user, in other words all the discoverer users have access to all these 20,000 workbooks.
We are experiencing a slight delay (20-30 sec) while opening "Create/Open Workbook dialog" in discoverer plus. This dialog appears automatically when the discoverer plus is launched. We area also experiencing a slight delay (20-30 sec) when we try to open "Open workbook from database" dialog. This can be opened using File/Open or Click Browse button from "Create/Open Workbook dialog".
Please suggest any solution to improve the performance of this or any configuration in discoverer plus that supresses the "Create/Open Workbook dialog" that apprears automatically when discoverer plus is launched.
Any suggestions is much appreciated.
Regards
Sriram

Hi Michael,
Thanks a lot for the details.
We are following this approach. We have three catagories of users and they are as follows:
Super -> All the discoverer plus permissions are assigned ( Create/modify/schedule and all the other Plus permissions).
ReadWrite -> Only Create/modify workbook (Scheduling not allowed)
View -> Only to run the workbooks created by the above two users.
We have created three database users for discoverer and assigned appropriate permission in Administrator and created public connections for these users.
Discoverer is accessed from our application (by clicking a menu item provided in our bespoke application). The application users are maintained within the application and we also have a security module which restricts the use access to application. In that security module we have three roles (as above) created for discoverer purpose and users will be given permission to one of the roles. When the user invokes discoverer from application, it decides which discoverer user to be used based on the discoverer role assigned and launches discoverer plus.
Please note each application belong to an organisation.
We follow naming convention when the workbooks are created, the organisation specific workbooks starts with the organisation name + workbook details. All the workbooks are shared to all the above users, so that it is accessible to all the categories of users. The basic idea is, user logs in to discoverer plus and click browse button in the Create/Open workbook dialog and search for their organisation workbook by typing in thier organisation name and then select the workbook to run.
The problem that we are facing here is the amount of time it takes (15-20 sec) to open "Create/Open workbook" dialog and "Open workbook from database" dialog window.
I have checked all the indexes are in place and added a composite index as well. It takes the same time. Is there any way we can supress Create/Open workbook dialog window when Discoverer Plus is launched?
Regards
Sriram

Where is the Printer Preferences Dialog?

I'm running PSE 6 for Mac on an iMac using Leopard. Printer is Canon iP6600D. After calibrating the monitor (using Apple's program under System Preferences), I opened a jpg on my desktop and made a print, and it matches the monitor fairly closely. Then I decided to open the same jpg inside PSE and print from there. Then it asked me under color management/color handling whether PSE or the printer manages the colors (or no color management). Depending on the answer, it says I need to disable or enable color management in the Printer Preferences Dialog. I have two questions:
1) Where can I find the Printer Preferences Dialog?
2) Is it better to let PSE or the Printer handle the color management?
I actually have a third question (sorry). When I make prints from our local Walgreens or WalMart, the prints seem way too dark and saturated (WalMart) or has a bluish/purple-ish cast (Walgreens). Maybe their printers are not calibrated like they're supposed to be??

Thanks. I used PSE to produce two jpgs of the same image, one with the 'standard' monitor calibration (gamma = 1.8), and the other using a calibration with gamma = 2.2. Images are sRGB, and I used the 'no color management' setting in PSE. I made prints on my Canon ip6600D, and they matched the monitor pretty closely for the respective profiles. The print made with the gamma 2.2 calibration came out lighter than the gamma 1.8 calibration, which was expected. So at this point it looks like my monitor and printer are working okay.
However, I just got back from Walmart, and these same two prints are way too dark, and they are the same exposure (one should be lighter). Does their machine (Fuji Frontier I believe) automatically optimize the images? If so, that is not good. What do I do now? Do I have to use a printer profile that matches their machine? My prints looks good (according to my monitor and printer), but I would like to make prints from Walmart or Walgreens if I need to print out a large quantity (saves time, money, ink and paper cost). Also, I want to send a cd to friends so they can make prints, but at this rate, it is not going to work.

Creating AWT child dialog within a parent hangs in 1.7 but works with 1.6

Hi,
We are making use of Java AWT packages. In which we are creating an child dialog within a parent window and it hangs, meaning none of the buttons on the child window works, even the close is not happening (parent, child and console all hangs, need to kill the applet from the task manager). No error/exception is seen in the Console. No deadlocks noticed in the thread dumps.
This is seen only with JRE1.7 (update 10,11,13,15) version. But the same code is working fine with JRE 1.6 version.
We also have same codebase of next release, where the code is changed to Swings and that seems to work with JRE1.7.
Can somebody suggest me what might be causing it to fail with JRE_1.7 at the earliest as this a critical issue.
Thanks in advance!

We have a tuxedo service which needs to communicate with a POS device by socket. The parent process provides the tuxedo service. The child process provides the connection management for the device. Unnamed pipe is used for communication between the parent and the child. In the child process, there is no code related to tuxedo. The benefit of that design is the tuxedo server does not need to wait for connection from the device when boots up, and the tuxedo service does not need to wait for connection from the device when the service is called.
The tuxedo server was developed 10 years ago, and worked fine till we upgraded tuxedo from 10 to 12 recently. That means it worked for 10 years, and it worked in tuxedo 6.5, tuxedo 10. But in tuxedo 12, tmboot does not return for this tuxedo server. We have to press CTRL-C and yes to cancel. After cancel, the tuxedo service seems working fine.
