Creating a main form, with internal forms help! (a poke in the right direct

Hey guys, I am trying to make a form application within swing (currently using netbeans gui builder), and I am trying to achieve a standard sized form (say 300x200px) and when the user clicks a "next" button, the
form layout does not change and a new form appears inside. I have looked into jinternalFrames; however I do not want a moveable frame inside, I just want to have an arbituary frame where the content inside
changes. I plan on making around 60 pages (forms) within this app so differant jforms or something is the logical procedure.
I just need a point in any direction at all, as to how to achieve this; I am confident programmer in C/C#/C++/VB.NET (yes im new to java) however it's so similiar to C# I doubt i'll have a problem either:
a) information on how to program the swing manually without a gui builder
b) a method of how to achieve what im doing in netbeans/eclipse
Thanks all

when the user clicks a "next" button, the form layout does not change and a new form appears insideAnd the [Card Layout Actions|http://www.camick.com/java/blog.html?name=card-layout-actions] should help with this.

  • Can a Mod help point me in the right direction...?

    Can a Moderator help point me in the right direction for help on this...not sure if its a sales issue, or a support issue...
    I recently started using the new YouView box.  After a week of use, I have various issues with it, a couple of which I would deem as being serious enough to merit wanting to move back to the BT Vision box.  So...
    1) Is this possible technically?
    2) Can I do this contractually?
    3) If it is possible, can I mothball the YouView box until software upadates fix the issues?
    I'm not sure who to speak to in the first instance....
    Thanks

    Hi Guys,
    Thanks for posting. If you’re having problems with the Vision service drop me an email with the details and I’ll look into it for you. Over the next few weeks there will be an update to both BT Vision on YouView and to the YouView software which may help fix some of the issues you have but if you’re still having problem get in touch.
    Cheers

    Can some one point me in the right direction to learn more

    There downside of it tho is that button resets as soon as you
    move your mouse off
    it. So it might have sudden jumps in your tween on roll out.
    I would suggest use movie clip to start with and attach
    button behaviors to it.

  • Need help being pointed in the right directi

    I have been out of the computer game for a number of years and with the advances, I think I am having trouble understanding what sound cards are capable of these days.
    What I am wanting to do is hook up my sound card to a reciever, which I'm assuming I'd need rca outputs, or directly hook up speakers to the sound card. What I would like to do is use stereo speakers (the big ones) and maybe even possibly have a bass connection if that is at all possible. I think this is 2.
    I'm pretty lost. I know stereo speakers are hooked up by wire, and not a plug connection.

    Hey!? so if you are purchasing a new sound card, there are basically a few options you can do:
    - If you are connecting your sound card to a receiver, there are a few sound cards that have optical outputs (such as the x-fi titanium) where you get a digital signal from your card, to the receiver. make sure your receiver has an optical input (sometimes called toslink)? That will give you the easiest (in my opinion) connection for "digital".
    - Some older cards have a digital out from a miniplug connection (like a headphone jack) that will then go to your receiver and go into a "component in" receptacle - which is usually orange in color and looks like a single RCA connector alone. this is also "digital" and not "analog".
    - RCA is the easiest analog connection to a receiver. Basically, you need a RCA cord that on one side has the red and white connectors, and on the other side, it looks like a headphone jack, called miniplug. you would plug the "miniplug" into your sound card in the back, and then the RCA side to the rear of the receiver. that will give you stereo sound. the Subwoofer or bass connection would come from your receiver which takes care of it. ?
    The digital connection is primarily if you want surround sound. think like 5. or 7. Sounds like you just want 2. sound (2 speakers and . for the subwoofer)? I would just go with the analog connection and get the hybrid RCA cable. ?
    Hopefully this helps and its not too complicated. ?

  • Help point me in the right direction please??

    Hey whats up. Im trying to make a calendar for my applet. the problem i have is that for each cell in the calendar i want to print 3 lines of information (ie: line 1: day, line 2: some status, line 3: some status)
    ive looked into using JTables but as far as I have seen I can only have 1 line of data for each cell. I was thinking maybe i coudl make a custom JLabel or panel and insert that into each cell...but im not sure if that would work or how to go about doing that.
    does anyone have any suggestions on what path i should take in trying to do this?
    should I not do JTables and take a different approach?
    thanks
    -ray

    I need some help please...
    below is a snippet from my calendar. these panels are the indiviual squares in the calendar. My problem is that I make 3 labels but no matter how i format it...all three labels appear directly next to each other. Ive tried various layouts...some of stuff ive tried is still commented out. the only way to get the proper layout is by adding the ugly spaces that I have in there to FORCE the label down. Im not sure why its doing this. LIke i mentioned ive tried almost all the various layout managers to get this right but no luck. maybe im not doing them right..i dont know.
    any suggestions??

  • Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line?

    Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line?  I can't find anything in the documentation or a template that does this.
    I am trying to create a "documents received" checklist with a check box on the left margin, a date-received field to the right of the check box and and a description of the document (Formatted Text) on the far right.
    In the past I have entered the Fixed Text with a word processor, published it to a PDF file, then added the check box and date fields with the Acrobat Forms editor.  I would prefer to use FormsCentral if it is possible.

    We now support multiple fields on one line. This post provides a brief overview.
    Give it a try and send us your feedback.
    Sorry it took so long.

  • I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9.  I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track.  how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc????   Help

    I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9.  I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track.  how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc????   Help

    Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
    'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

  • Replacing Adobe forms with Smart Forms for printing FPM based forms

    Hello All,
    This pertains to HCM Process and Forms with Floor Plan Manager (FPM) based forms.
    SAP has provided Adobe Forms as the standard print option for FPM based forms, as can be seen in the attached screenshot.
    We want to use the FPM based forms without using Adobe Document Services (ADS). I am checking the feasibility of replacing the PDF forms with Smart Forms, either through configuration or customization.
    System Landscape: ECC 6.0 EhP6
    Any inputs or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Arun.

    Hi Ketul,
    Irrespective of the process or scenario, we would like to use Smart Forms instead of Adobe Forms. As seen in the screenshot, SAP has provided the default option of generating a PDF form. This requires installing and using Adobe Document Services. We would like to remove this dependency on Adobe Document Services.
    Instead, we would like to use Smart Forms for printing purposes.
    This requirement is not tied to any specific process or scenario, but to any business process implemented using HCM Process and Forms framework.
    Let me know if you need any further clarifications.
    Regards,
    Arun.

    Hi Sinious,
    Interesting to know about 10.8 and Flash. I'll hold off upgrading until they work together. Currently using 10.6.8 at home and same on the Universtity's computers.
    Haven't verified on Windows but shall do later in the week if I can get access to a Windows machine.
    Both the Flash player and the Projector come up not full screen, and if I leave it that way then things work OK as long as I don't make the video full screen (using the full screen button on the skin).
    However if I make the swf or projector full-screen (by using CMD-F or the menu option) then when I click on the menu item to take me to the page with the video on it, instead of a page with a smallish video and back button I get a black screen with no obvious controls. If I then press Escape I get my normal screen back and I am in the page that should have the video but there is not video and the back button does not work. So something wierd is going on here.
    If I make a file without any videos with a similar navigation structure everyting works ok except that when I go full screen I lose the finger cursor when I roll over my buttons (which is also wierd).

    Good.

    -so that it is not editable.This is the default behavior of PDF.
    -so that i can preview the document before printing
    it
    This is provided by most Acrobat readers within a browser.
    I would like to print the data on a template - if
    possible? can i use a word template?Huh? Now you lost me. PDF is a document format. Word is a document format. You can include a PDF in a Word document. However, why would you do that? You already have a PDF.

    I have Final Cut Studio V1 - the PPC/Intel V5/5.1 cross-grade version, which would suit your requirements perfectly. (I have it for sale at present down here).
    If you keep looking, you're sure to find a similar second hand copy in your area, without the need to upgrade your graphics card.
    I'd go for Final Cut Pro as above over any version of Express. FCP has the full version of LiveType - not the truncated version that was released later on.

  • Configuring ISR Scenario SRK1 (Create Cost Center Request) with Adobe forms

    Hello,
    I am trying to configure the ISR scenario SRK1 (Create Cost Center Request) with Adobe Interactive Forms.
    However when I am trying to generate the form, it is giving an error TR015(Object can only be created in SAP package)
    Apparently by default it tries to create form Adobe form ISR_FORM_SRK1.
    Even if I change that name to ZISR_FORM_SRK1, it tries to create interface ISR_IF_SRK1 which is in SAP's namespace and I cannot generate the form. I cannot seem to be able to force SAP to use a different Interface name. The field for the interface is greyed out and is not picked up
    Am I missing any step or is there any fix to this problem?
    regards,
    Atul Kulkarni

    Hi,
    From the config it picks the formscenario(SRK1) and prefixes the same for adobe form.
    I think the best option would be to copy the Stnadard form scenario to ZSRK1 and proceed. This copy can be done from the config 'Manage Form Scenarios' under this select the option 'Copy form scenario'. This copies the entire config from SRK1 to ZSRK1.

    Hi Priya,
    I am not sure why as per the client requirement we cant change it in the spro ??
    anyways if you want to achieve it then we have to go for an enhancement...
    for eg i want to change a std smartform which displays the candidate and requisition data overviews in the manager self service.
    then i know that the class CL_HRRCF_M_DATAOVERVIEW will be used and in this a method called GET_FM_NAME will be called which fetches the smartform(std) so in this FM create a enhancement at the last so you have a chance to overwrite the form name..
    Ie. in FM....
    This is std....
      Get name of generated function module
            CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
              EXPORTING
                i_name     = lv_formname

    Your code seems to be implementing metalink note 139546.1 - Using Reports parameter forms with RUN_REPORT_OBJECT on the web.
    For what I can see, the P_ACTION parameter should end in ?...
    i.e.
    P_ACTION=http://<hostname.domain:port>/reports/rwservlet?'
    set_report_object_property (
    repid,
    report_other,
    'paramform=yes P_USER_CONNECT='
    || vc_connect
    || ' P_SERVERNAME='
    || v_reportserv
    || ' P_ACTION='
    || v_report_url
    || '/reports/rwservlet?'
    );If this does not fix your problem, then to troubleshoot further you would have to post the code in your Before Parameter Form trigger of your report.
    Hope this helps,
    UPDATE:
    If the above does not fix your problem, my guess is that report name is not being generated in the hidden runtime values build by the code in the Before Parameter Form trigger.
    i.e.
    http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet?report=&destype=cache&desformat=PDF
    The above code will throw error REP-52005: The specified key report does not exist in key map file.
