Custom title bar

Hi All!
How do I add my own title bar to a JFrame?
I have managed to remove the default one. but I cannot figure out how to add a custom one.
I also want to place it above the JMenuBar so adding it to the content pane will not help.
Any advise will be welcomed.
Thanks,
SIJP

My Look and feel is working just fine.
my problem is that I can do two things:
if I add the default title bar my l&f has two title bars and if I choose to make my look and feel have one title bar the windows L&F has no title bar at all.

Lab view Application with a Customized Title bar

I am using Labview 2013. I need to change the color of the Application Title Bar to Black. I dug around quite a lot but did not come across any method to do this. Any suggestions or ideas?

Custom Title in PDA Front Panel Title Bar

Hi,
I would like to customize the title in the front panel title bar of my PDA application after the application has loaded. Targeting Windows XP this can be done by using Property: Front Panel Window: Title, which is not supported by the PDA module (8.5).
Does anybody know of any workaround?
Thanks,
Volker

Hi Volker,
I'm
sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. As you're probably aware,
architecting PDA applications is considerably different from architecting
Windows XP apps. PDAs have very limited resources, and are not capable of
supporting the LabVIEW runtime engine, so the PDA module must "cut the
fat" by compiling the VI to native PDA code and by eliminating any
unnecessary features. There may be other reasons that that feature has
not been implemented that I am unaware of, or it may simply be that R&D has
not made it a priority. In either case, filing a product suggestion is
the best way to draw attention to it.
Also, FYI, the LabVIEW Help keeps a current list of supported properties and methods:
Supported Properties (PDA Module, Touch Panel Module)

Any way to get at the title bar in JFrame?

I'd like to either add a button to the title bar (title pane?) or override the behavior of the resize button. As far as I can tell, the LookNFeel classes don't allow you to add anything, just change colors, icons, etc. The WindowListener classes don't let you get at the resize button. I don't want to override Component.setSize() (that causes other problems), I just want to have the resize button do something different (or add another button).
I'd appreciate any ideas!

1) You could create your own frame that extends JWindow. This would be quite involved, since you'd need to make it respond to mouse drags, mouse resizing etc explicitly (if you wanted that functionality), but you would be able to add your own custom border, which you could make to look like a system border, or you could make comletely different.
2) I don't know this could be persuaded to do what you want, but you could try adding a ComponentListener to the JFrame to check for resizes, and take action accordingly

How to add a Button in JFrame title Bar ?

Hi Folks,
I want to add a button near to JFrame's Minimize Button(On the title bar). How can i do it ? Should i extend RootPaneUI and add custom button ? Any other easy ways to do this ?
If anyone provides me Sample Code how to do it, It is much Appreciated.
Thanks,

There's no easy way to achieve this. You'll have to provide a RootPaneUI delegate with a custom title pane implementation. There, you'll have to provide a custom layout to position your button. In addition, this approach will not work on look-and-feels that do not support decorated mode (such as Windows or GTK) since under such LAFs the title pane always comes from the OS.

Adding background image to portlet title bar

Hi,
Does anyone know how to add a background image to a portlet title bar. I have tried using the LAF editor but nothing seems to work. The image will be static and not change.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Chris
You have to modify the .css file depending on the type of Skin you are using like "default" or "bighorn" in case of 10.x and 9.x etc. Best thing is to install Firebug for Firefox and inspect the Titlebar in firebug. That should tell exactly which .css file and which element in that .css file is used to render the Portlet Title bar.
For "default" skin, the file is window.css and the element in this file is ".bea-portal-window-titlebar" with background-color: #XXXXXX. Replace this or add another field like background-image: url(your image path). This window.css file can be found under WebContent\framework\skins\default\css\window.css. Remember that in 9.x and 10.x to see this file from Workshop IDE, you need to switch view to Merged Projects and select this file and copy this to your project to view it. BUT, I would not recommend to modify any out of box .css file. Instead create a new file custom.css file and add entries in this file which you want to overwrite. This is the standard way to customize any out of box skins look and feel. So in your custom.css file your will have one entry like this:
.bea-portal-window-titlebar {
background-image: url(your image path)
For "bighorn" skin introduced in 9.x and 10.x, the elements in .css files are slighty different but the concept is same. I customized out of box bighorn skin to change background color of portlet title bar. The .css location for portlet title bar for bighorn skin is: WebContent\framework\skins\bighorn\css\colors.css and the element is ".wlp-bighorn-titlebar". For quick testing from Firebug, inspect this element and change the background color to something else and see if it reflects in Firefox. Then you can create custom.css file under same folder structure in your portal web project and over write this element and this field alone with the background-image that you want something like:
.wlp-bighorn-titlebar {
background-color:#FF0000;
background-image:url(your image path);
It is highly recommended to have all customizations go into custom.css file only. Please make sure that you have this custom.css file entry in the skin.xml file (in case of bighorn) or skin.properties file (in case of old legacy default skin). This .xml or .properties file can be found under same folder structure like: WebContent\framework\skins\yourSkin. For new bighorn skin.xml file this custom.css file entry is already there. But for old legacy default skin you may need to add this entry.

Add a Button in JFrame Title Bar

How can I add a button in JFrame Title Bar. I want to put on more button for docking after the closing button in the title bar.

if you use JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true) then you can do it by extending the JRootPaneUI class of the L&F (the default is the metal L&F). that is not a easy task but if you want take a look at BasicRootPaneUI, there you will have to point it to a new TitlePane which you will have to create. to load all this you must use the UIManager class. if you need more explaination try reading on look and feel and customizing it.

How to forbid window title bar to be draged?

If a top level vi has the window title bar,how to forbid user to drag the title bar to change window's position?
P.S. vi's property "Allow user to resize window" has been forbidden.
LabVIEW 8.6

Unfortunately, the LabVIEW event structure does not provide an event like "Panel Move" or a similiar stuff.
I think, you have two different options:
a) Either use the event structure -> timeout case to set (if necessary) every Xms with the invoke method "Front Panel.Runtime Position.Custom" the position of the VI.
b) Probably you find an appropriate function in the attached zip file

I have an accordion component on my swf. Its working right
but the text in the title bars (where I click to flip the accordion

this?
Thanks.

If you are using Windows, you do it through the Control Panel tool for customizing your desktop display. If you are using some other system, I don't know. You can't do it from your Java program.

After executing the program, the system displays the basic list. The user can press the function keys F5 , F6 , F7 , and F8 to create secondary lists. If, for example, the 14th key the user presses is F6 , the output on the displayed secondary list looks as follows:

When you run the program, the system displays the following basic list with a the page header defined in the program:
You can trigger the AT LINE-SELECTION event by double-clicking a line. The system sets the status TEST and deactivates the function code PICK. The status TEST contains function codes FC1 to FC5. These are assigned to pushbuttons in the application toolbar. The page header of the detail list depends on the status.
Here, double-clicking a line no longer triggers an event. However, there is now an application toolbar containing five user-defined pushbuttons. You can use these to trigger the AT USER-COMMAND event. The CASE statement contains a different reaction for each pushbutton.
For each interactive event, the system decreases the SY-LSIND system field by one, thus canceling out the automatic increase. All detail lists now have the same level as the basic list and thus overwrite it. While the detail list is being created, SY-LSIND still has the value 1.

Application Title bar

Hey!
I have created a stand alone application........... But the application panel window's title bar has " name.vi " and LabVIEW icon on it .How can i change it so that it gives more a look of stdalne app.??
Could it be done
Regards
DeWalker

Yes, in the application builder set an icon for the exe (the icon should be part of the project).
Second set a good application name (that is shown in the task manager).
In the VI properties there is a property Front Panel Window.Custom Title that shoul be 'True', the property Front Panel Window.Title alters the title.

Page Title Bar Changes with 'Launch in new Window'

Hi All,
We have a strange situation where we create a page containing an iview with the friendly name on both set to 'test'. This shows fine on the browser title bar as <friendly name> - <portal text> - <browserinfo> e.g "test - SAP EP6.0 - Internet Explorer". All fine so far...
However, when we open a page in a new window via the 'Launch in New Window' page property, the <friendlyname> reverts to the server name. e.g "http://servername:50000 - SAP Enterprise Portal 6.0 - Microsoft Internet Explorer"
We are on EP6 sp2 p14 and have implemented the change to the <portal text> to reflect our customer name.
Any ideas on why this is happening ?
Thanks in advance
Rob

Hi Siva,
I have already implemented that change to the central configuration. This only relates to the <portal text> (Sap Enterprise Portal 6.0 by default), which doesn't change.
What I need to know is -
a) why the page title changes when you launch the page in a new window
b) what I can do to stop this happening.
thanks

Page history in the page title bar

Hi,
    I have customized default masthead and tln.
    I created iView that contains both customized masthead and tln.
    now in the page title bar. only the current page is maintained in the history of the titile bar.
    previous pages are not maintained in the history...
    how to make history containing all pages...
Regards,
Shanthakumar.

Hi Shanthakumar,
I am implementing a custom iView which should show me the History in the same way as the page Title Bar iView works with History set to ON.
The code which i used in the JSP is as follows:
<nav:iterateNavNodesInSelectedPath>
          <nav:ifNotNavNodeEqualsLaunchedNavNode>
               <span style="color= #0000CC; text-decoration:none; font-family:Arial; font-size:12px">
                    <nav:navNodeAnchor navigationMethod="byEPCM" EPCMHistoryMode="0"/>
               </span>
                    <nav:ifHasMoreIterations>
                         <span style="text-decoration:none; color= #666666">|</span>
                    </nav:ifHasMoreIterations>
          </nav:ifNotNavNodeEqualsLaunchedNavNode>
         <nav:ifNavNodeEqualsLaunchedNavNode>
             <span style="color= #333333; text-decoration:none;font-family:Arial; font-size:12px">
                  <nav:navNodeTitle/>
         </span>
         </nav:ifNavNodeEqualsLaunchedNavNode>
     </nav:iterateNavNodesInSelectedPath>
I have used the line that you have posted.
However i am not able to see the complete Page history. I can only see the path from the Role to the Page that is currently launched.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Melwyn.

Removing auto text in app.alert window title bar

I added the following JS to a button and it works perfectly. Almost! I'm still getting the automatic text "Warning: JavaScript Window-" showing in the title bar. Is there a way to clear this and only show my custom text?
app.alert ("List specific services and service levels that are legislated (reference applicable legislation).\n\n" + "For example, one long term care bed in rented facility.", 3, 0, "Legislated Mandatory Service Requirements");

Sounds like you are maximising the window. You might want to look at using full-screen exclusive mode:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/extra/fullscreen/index.html
This has advantages over just maximising the window as the painting system can ignore the windows painting system and actively draw directly to the screen. Theres also stuff in the tute about taking advantage of page-flipping, controling the bitdepth, resolution etc.
If you're already using this please ignore this post.
Hope this helps
Michael
