Custom component not designable

Even if I copy an SDK component into my project, that
component no longer renders correctly on the designer surface. Why
is this? Is there any way to make FB render local components in the
designer?

As much as I don't like Flash components, here is a couple of things that you must implement:
1. You have avatar clip on timeline in live preview.
2. You implement setSize method in live preview class.
So, do you have these two things in your life preview class?

How to add default values when adding custom component to design view?

I have a set of custom components (usually) extending Spark components. But when adding our custom component onto design view, how can I define defult values (in AS3).
For example, s:Button has default label = 'Button' when added to application, or mx:DataGrid has 3 columns predefined, but when using custom components there are no predefined values like this.
I can put this values in constructor, but they are not visible in design time, only runtime.
Any ideas? Thanks
Esmin

yes, I am. By the way I've found the solution. Someone might find this usefull.
In design.xml having
<component name="ExtendedTextInput" namespace="mynamespace" category="beta" displayName="ExtendedTextInput"/>
use this
<component name="ExtendedTextInput" namespace="mynamespace" category="beta" displayName="ExtendedTextInput">
<defaultAttribute name="text" value="ExtendedTextInput"/>
</component>
so when adding this component to design view, it will have text setted to value ('ExtendedTextInput' in this case).

How do I automate a custom component not implementing UIComponent?

I have tried using Adobe's instructions for automating custom components by creating a delegate class to use as a mixin, but
1) the super() statement in the delegate of the constructor is not recognized by the compiler,
2) I am not able to use a DisplayObject as an argument to init(),
3) I am not able to return the custom component as a IAutomationObject from the parent component's getAutomationChildAt method.
Is it simply not possible to automate a custom component not implementing UIComponent?

If you look in the library panel, there should be an entry for your custom component - probably something like CustomComponent1.mxml. Drag this out onto the artboard to create a new instance of the component.
In the case of a custom component, you can't change much on the second instance. If you have something like a text input skin though, you can change the text it is displaying for each instance.
We are working on making this sort of thing easier in the future, so stay tuned

Custom component not found by jsf (mojarra)

Coming from this link http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5446475&tstart=0
I have managed to get things together but for some reason, my app is not able to find the custom component at runtime. I have the component configured in my web.xml so that is not it. I am not sure if this has something to do with the fact that I am not able to see any JSF 2.0 annotations during runtime. I actually using spring for my component scan due some issues I had earlier on with JSF. At that time I was told that because I am using maven tomcat plugin for development, I might not be able to get that working. The explanation was that maven tomcat plugin uses tomcat 6.012 that does not support something, I cannot remember that makes JSF behave properly. Some advised me to use jetty but I have had a chance to try that. Has someone faced this kind of issues before? If so please let me know I am running out of time for this project. Thanks a million in advance.

While I can't say what effect Spring has on things as I don't use Spring, all you need are the annotations on the component, the entries in the -taglib.xml if you're using facelets, and an "empty" (root-element only) faces-config.xml set to version 2.0 in the jar if the component is jarred (as opposed to being part of the .war).
When you say JSF can't find your component, are you getting an error message? Does the tag just appear in the browser unprocessed?
Testing on GlassFish would be helpful (for me) as there are no known issues there in this area.

Button in custom component not showing

I made a very simple custom component with a TextField and Button but when I add multiple instances of it to a Layout, only the first Button shows up while the other show only when I focus the corresponding TextField. I'm quite new to fx and I'm not sure I did everything correctly but I don't see any obvious error in my code.
The component:
public class TestComponent extends BorderPane {
    @FXML
    private Button browseButton;
    @FXML
    private TextField textField;
    public TestComponent() {
        FXMLLoader fxmlLoader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("TestComponent.fxml"));
        fxmlLoader.setRoot(this);
        fxmlLoader.setController(this);
        try {
            fxmlLoader.load();
        } catch (IOException exception) {
            throw new RuntimeException(exception);
The fxml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import java.lang.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.HBox?>
<fx:root type="javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml/1"
    xmlns="http://javafx.com/javafx/2.2">
    <center>
        <TextField fx:id="textField" prefWidth="200.0" />
    </center>
    <right>
        <Button fx:id="browseButton" mnemonicParsing="false" maxHeight="-Infinity"
            minHeight="-Infinity" prefHeight="${textField.height}" text="Browse"
            textAlignment="CENTER" />
    </right>
</fx:root>
and the test code
@Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        VBox box = new VBox(5);
        box.setPadding(new Insets(5));
        TestComponent a = new TestComponent();
        TestComponent b = new TestComponent();
        TestComponent c = new TestComponent();
        box.getChildren().addAll(a, b, c);
        Scene scene = new Scene(box);
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
I'm running on Ubuntu with jdk-8-ea-bin-b111-linux-i586-10_oct_2013. I tested with jdk 1.7.0_40 and the buttons don't show.
I'd include screenshots but the button to add images is disabled.
Thanks for the help

The issue is with the bind definition in the FXML, if you remove that definition, the buttons will display.
   prefHeight="${textField.height}"
I think the binding is working, but when there is some kind of error (bug) in the layout process such that the scene is not automatically laid out correctly when the binding occurs.
You can get exactly the same behaviour by removing the binding definition in FXML and placing it in code after the load.
            browseButton.prefHeightProperty().bind(textField.heightProperty());
When the scene is initially displayed, the height of all of the text fields is 0, as they have not been laid out yet, and the browser button prefHeight gets set to 0 through the binding.
That's OK and expected.
Then the scene is shown and a layout pass occurs, which sets the height of the text fields to 26 and the prefHeight of all of the browser buttons adjust correctly.
That's also OK and expected.
Next the height of one of the buttons is adjusted via a layout pass.
That's also OK and expected.
But the height of the other buttons is not adjusted to match their preferred height (probably because a layout pass is not run on them).
That is not OK and not expected (and I think a bug).
If you manually trigger a layout pass on one of the components which did not render completely, the button will be displayed - but that should not be necessary.

Custom component not working properly

Hi all - I am trying to create a custom component. I have followed the suggested MVC architecture, and created the following classes:
1. SuperLineModel (the MODEL)
2. SuperLine (the actual component,e.g. the CONTROLLER)
3. BasicSuperLineUI (the UI Delegate class, e.g. the VIEW)
4. SuperLineUI (an abstract type class for my UI Delegate)
I also have a fifth class that draws a frame and panel, and then adds the custom component to the panel. In the main method of this class, I
register the UI delegate like this:
UIManager.put(BasicSuperLineUI.UI_CLASS_ID, "com.volant.mapit.view.BasicSuperLineUI");Everything compiles without any problems, but the custom component is never painted for some reason. In fact, I added a print line to the UI delegates paint method just to see if it was ever called, and it wasn't. I know I'm missing something here, and it's probably something small. I'm hoping some of you Swing gurus can take a look at my code below and point out the problem for me.
I really appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks.
The classes are listed below:
// SuperLineModel
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class SuperLineModel
private double sourceXCoord = 0;
private double sourceYCoord = 0;
private double targetXCoord = 0;

public SuperLineModel()
public SuperLineModel(double sourceXCoord, double sourceYCoord,
                       double targetXCoord, double targetYCoord)
    this.sourceXCoord = sourceXCoord;
    this.sourceYCoord = sourceYCoord;
    this.targetXCoord = targetXCoord;
    this.targetYCoord = targetYCoord;
public void setSourceXCoord(double x)
    this.sourceXCoord = x;
    return;
public void setSourceYCoord(double y)
    this.sourceYCoord = y;

    System.out.println("test2");

// SuperLineUI
import javax.swing.plaf.*;
import com.volant.mapit.control.*;
public abstract class SuperLineUI extends ComponentUI
public static final String UI_CLASS_ID = "SuperLineUI";

A quick glance at the code and it looks ok with the exception of the following which I don't understand what you're trying to do:
public void installUI(JComponent c) {
    SuperLine sl = (SuperLine)c;
public void uninstallUI(JComponent c) {
    SuperLine sl = (SuperLine)c;
}Here are my comments:
1) I expect Superline sl to be a global variable for use elsewhere in your program.
2) I have no idea what your uninstallUI does.
This is what I would do:
SuperLine sl;
public void installUI(JComponent c) {
    sl = (SuperLine)c;
public void uninstallUI(JComponent c) {
}Finally, I am assuming that the changelistener will trigger a repaint which in turn will call your paint method, right?

My custom component not clickable

Hi,
I'm creating custom component and when I add it to page I can't click it. When I add it to the bottom of page, the parsys overlaps this component and when I add component behind my custom component, it overlaps it too which means I can't edit/delete my cust. component. What am I doing wrong? Here is the code
<%@include file="/libs/foundation/global.jsp"%>
<%@page import="com.day.text.Text" %>
<%@page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %><%

I'm thankfull for any help.

After some test, I found that overriding value property in my custom component cause this proplem.Why overriding value property cause this problem?

Custom Component Not Updating Display List

Hi all... I've created a component which is basically a meter (extends skinnable container). The skin to the component contains two rectangles (background and the actual meter). This component receives an arraycollection with the following fields value, max and min(the arraycollection I am passing is Bindable). When I initialize and pass the data to be used to draw It works great (keep in mind - only works the first time). I've created a button that changes the data array and shows the current meter value. Apparently the meter's value is changing everytime I modify the ArrayCollection I've set to be used for rendering.(dont want to say "dataProvider" because it is not a Flex dataprovider, just a variable )... here is the code...
   public class meter extends SkinnableContainer {
        [SkinPart( required = "true" )]
        public var meter:spark.primitives.Rect;
        [SkinPart( required = "true" )]
        public var meterBackground:spark.primitives.Rect;
        private var _dataProvider:ArrayCollection;
        private var _renderDirty:Boolean = false;
        public function Meter() {
            super();
        public function set dataProvider( value:Object ):void {
            if ( value )
                if(value is ArrayCollection)
                       _renderDirty = true;
                    _dataProvider = value as ArrayCollection;
                if(_dataProvider)
                    _dataProvider.addEventListener(PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE, propertyChanged);//used both eventlisteners but none actually ever fire off
                    _dataProvider.addEventListener(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE,collectionChanged);
                invalidateDisplayList();//only happens the first time
        private function collectionChanged(event:CollectionEvent):void
            Alert.show("In collection Change");//this never goes off when I change the "dataProvider"
            _renderDirty = true;
            invalidateDisplayList();
        private function propertyChanged(event:PropertyChangeEvent):void
            Alert.show("In property Change");//this never goes off when I change the "dataProvider"
            _renderDirty=true;
             invalidateDisplayList();
        public function get dataProvider():Object {
            return _dataProvider;
        override protected function updateDisplayList( unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number ):void {
            if(_dataProvider))
            var span:Number = unscaledWidth / _dataProvider[0].max;

Hi.
Now there are some serious bugs in your code:
Put a call to super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight) in your overriden method (or some funky things will start happening or it won't work at all).
Why don't you check your _renderDirty flag in the updateDisplayList() method? You should do that (personally I would go with commitProperties() instead but it's not much of a difference I guess)
And now the reason why your events don't fire is that because you use plain objects (just generic istances of Object). Those are not IEventDispatchers and therefore do not fire any events when you change any of the properties (which are all dynamic by the way). You have to define a custom value object class which extends the EventDispatcher (or you can implement IEventDispatcher on your own). So instead of this:[Bindable]
private var meterData:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([
   {value:80, max:100, min:0}
You should do something like this:[Bindable]
private var meterData:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([
   new MyValueObject(80, 100, 0)
Where MyValueObject could look like this:// this instructs MXML compiler to automaticly implement IEventDispatcher
// and make all public properties bindable
[Bindable]
public class MyValueObject
   public function MyValueObject(value:Number, max:Number, min:Number) {
      this.value = value;
      this.max = max;
      this.min = min;
   public var value:Number;
   public var max:Number;
   public var min:Number;

SSIS 2012 Custom Component not working

Hi,
I had a SSIS package that was working in SSIS 2008.Now we have upgrade to SQL Server 2012 So we need to upgrade our SSIS task.
My SSIS package has two Custom Components that are creating package at run time.I followed the below steps to upgrade my components.
1.I changed .NET Framework from 2.0 to 4.0.
2. Build DLLs using VS 2010.
3.Registered DLLs in my server in directories- Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Task and Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\PipelineComponets
4. Registered DLLs in Global Assemble Cache.
5.Now I can see my custom task in SSIS toolbox and able to use the task in package .
Issue:-
When I create a SQL Server Job that runs that package it fails at point in custom Task I created and registered above in step where I am trying to create a data flow task programmatically. The code where it fails is:-
" Dim exe As Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Executable = pkg.Executables.Add("SSIS.Pipeline.2") "
when it tries to execute this line it fails giving error
"Source: SSISTableCreate2012 Description: The Execute method on the task returned error code 0x80004003 (Object reference not set to an instance of an object.). The Execute method must succeed, and indicate the result using an "out"
parameter. "
I have already changed references of Dlls(Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Design, Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap, Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSRuntimeWrap, Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS) to version 11.0.0.0 .
Can anyone please help me on this error?
Thanks

Hi Bhupendra,
Do you rename IDTSxxxx100 objects to IDTSxxxx110 in your code?
As an alternative, you can make use of the custom mapping file. You can make a copy of the built-in mapping.xml.sample file located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\UpgradeMappings folder, rename its extension to XML, and then edit its <ExtensionMapping>
attribute:
<ExtensionMapping tag="mycustom extension"
oldAssemblyStrongName="MyCustomAssembly.MyCustomTask, MyCustomAssembly, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91"
newAssemblyStrongName="MyCustomAssembly.MyCustomTask, MyCustomAssembly, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91" />
Then, we need to upgrade the packages, and SSIS will read all the XML mapping files placed in this directory during upgrade.

DataGrid with Custom Component not showing sub-components

I'm hoping someone can enlighten me on this issue.
I have a datagrid with one column which has an item renderer. It doesn't matter if the "text" data comes from a dataProvider or is static.
If I do the following, only the first label will show up.
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column Title">
     <mx:itemRenderer>
           <mx:Component>
               <mx:VBox>
                    <mx:Label text="{data.data1}" />
                    <mx:Label text="{data.data2}" />
               </mx:VBox>
          </mx:Component>
     </mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:DataGridColumn>
However, if I change the VBox to a HBox both labels will show up.
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column Title">
      <mx:itemRenderer>
            <mx:Component>
                <mx:HBox>
                    <mx:Label text="{data.data1}" />
                     <mx:Label text="{data.data2}" />
                </mx:HBox>
           </mx:Component>
      </mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:DataGridColumn>
I'm using:
Flex Builder 3 Standalone
Version: 3.0.214193
OS: Vista
Any ideas or comments would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply KomputerMan.com. I've tried changing the dimensions of the VBox and no other labels appeared. Usually, when there is not enough room within the datagrid cell scrollbars will appear - you can experiment with the example below to see what I mean.
As for radiobuttons in a datagrid, here you go. The DataGrid and its dataProvider are constructed in the same way you normally would.
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Approve/Deny/Pending" width="170">

After deploying Custom Component BO Analysis Adaptive Server would not Start

Hello all,
I just developed my custom component in Design Studio with SDK and uploaded this component to BI Enterprise 4.1 SP2 Patch 3 server . After that, I tried to restart the Adaptive Processing Server which includes Analysis Service. However, the server would not start and it fails. If I uninstall the component and restart the server, it starts and works smoothly.
I have installed the same components to other BI servers without having any problems.
Do you guys have any idea what could be causing this?
Thanks in advanced.

Zahid,
Check if this line is added to the command line of the server holding the DS Server.
-Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl
I had a similar problem, openned a support ticket and that solved it.

So could anybody advice me which datagrid can be used?
By defalult Flex design has Controls, Layout, Navigators, Charts components
Could anybody tell me whats Custom Component in the design. becoz i cannot see any of the components under Custom folder.
Is it a custom developed one or is it a Default like other components ?

Resizing custom component with fixed aspect ratio in designer

Hello,
   I have a custom component that can have a fixed aspect ratio depending on certain property settings and I would like to know if there is any way to make the component resize in the designer in the same manner that the XCelcius built-in spreadsheet table component does?
It is possible to workaround this somewhat by correcting the width or height of the component after resize, XCelsius sees the change and stores it correctly but sometimes the IDE "remembers" the old value. For example if the component changings its own height programmatically in response to a property and then, while keeping the current component selected, the user resizes the width XCelsius sometimes tries to put the old height back even through it has the correct height saved in the XLF and works fine when compiled.
Is there a way to properly notify XCelsius IDE of a programmatic width/height change in the component itself in response to a property change?
Thanks

The SDK does not support reszing a component using a fixed aspect ratio.
Do not set the width and height of your component directly. You can set the initial size when dropped onto the canvas using the measure function...
A better approach is to let the user size the component on the Xcelsius canvas.
And instead of rendering directly in your add-on, move that code into a child renderer. Then use your aspect ratio to calculate the max size the child renderer can be to fit in the component. Then center your child renderer in the component. That is what I did when I created AnyMap.
|--------------------------------|
| component on canvas            |

| | centered child renderer | |

I am not able to create a JMS connection from a custom component in UCM

I am trying to create a custom component which makes a JMS connection and inserts messages in JMS Queue.
THe JMS server is hosted on Weblogic Application Server.
When the code runs I am getting the factory object and the queue object.
But when I try to get a connection it throws an error as pasted below.
WHen I googled the same error It has shown a simliar problem in TOmcat in sun thread
It said two jar files xerces.jar and xml-apis.jar are obsolete.
I replaced with the new version.
