Custom Window Decorations: Adding qmark icon for online help

Hi, All -
Is it possible to customize a window's decoration (terminology?) to add a Help icon to a dialog's frame, so that it sits beside the Close (X) button in the upper right corner? Can't find any doc on how to do this in the SDK manuals or tutorials.
Sample dialog at http://users.rcn.com/jcadow/images/helpiconsample.jpg.
Thanks.
--Jeff

Can't find any designed support for what you're asking. Please turn in a bug/rfe for this and let us know the number to vote for -- as part of the request, maybe you can add that we should not only be able to add icons but selectively remove any of the existings ones (min, max, close) since even VB supported this.
One area perhaps worth exploring is BasicInternalFrameTitlePane which may have some methods to do what you want with icons. Then undecorate your JFrame and add your subclass of BasicInternalFrameTitlePane to the North location of your JFrame. No guarantees, just worth exploring and I hope if you find something that works you post your solution back here. Good Luck.

  • Does anyone use RH7 for online help on their websites?

    Hi,
    I'm finding that this product isn't usable for online help
    within a website. Using the RH_ShowHelp() JavaScript calling
    convestions triggers popup blockers on most of the major platforms
    (Windows/IE, FF, Mac/FF). I don't understand why this is happenning
    since the help and the page that links to the help are in the same
    domain. Requiring customers to manually reconfigure their popup
    blockers is not a viable solution.
    On the one where it works (Mac/Safari) I'm left with a very
    tiny window in the lower right corner. Expanding it shows the help,
    but the page in the content pane is the file-not-found page
    (clicking items in the navigation brings up the correct page). I'm
    also seeing on the Mac (FF & Safari) that the Index &
    Search areas aren't searchable like they are in Windows (no input
    box to search with).
    When we asked Adobe about this the answer was more or less -
    "that's how it works" and they gave us a link to the following page
    detailing the limitations by browser (notice that it hasn't been
    updated since 2004 and the newest IE is IE4).
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=rb_69353b&sliceId=2
    I was hoping there would be a new RoboHelp_CSH.js file (it's
    dated 2004) Ideally one that didn't rely on browser sniffing but
    instead checked for JavaScript capabilitites.
    We missed testing this part when evaluating the product and
    now it feels like a dead end.
    Needless to say we've started moving on to other help
    systems, but maybe someone can help save RH for us before we write
    it off completely.

    Welcome to our community, wjens
    Hopefully you realize that you aren't forced to use the
    WebHelp API to establish links to help.
    Take a look at the following links:
    Link
    one
    Link
    two
    Hopefully something here helps... Rick

  • Adding 2 icons for a single node on a tree

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a tree to represent objects. These objects can be of different types, and different states. I intend to use two icons for each node in the tree, one signifying the type and the other the status. I am a bit stuck though.
    At present each node has a single icon, and uses a JLabel to add to the tree (with a custom renderer). Is it possible to manipulate the icons so instead of adding 2 16x16icons I can simplify it by adding a 32x16 icon?
    Alternativley is it possible to customise JLabel (or something) to allow two icons to be added and alligned?
    Cheers in advance
    Chris

    Just write your own composite Icon class:
    public class CompositeIcon implements Icon
      private Icon icon1;
      private Icon icon2;
      public CompositeIcon(Icon icon1, Icon icon2)
        this.icon1 = icon1;
        this.icon2 = icon2;
      public int getIconHeight()
        return Math.max(icon1.getIconHeight(), icon2.getIconHeight());
      public int getIconWidth()
        return icon1.getIconWidth() + icon2.getIconWidth();
      public void paintIcon(Component c, Graphics g, int x, int y)
        icon1.paintIcon(c, g, x, y);
        icon2.paintIcon(c, g, x + icon1.getIconWidth, y);
    }Hopefully a slightly more reusable solution. You could write all sorts of different layouts in this way.
    Hope this helps.

  • The icon for Download Helper has disappeared and I can't seem to get it back. I see reference to it in the Firefox Tools dropdown. Where did it go? Thank you.

    Video Download Helper is an add-on that I frequently use. It used to have an icon right next to the home icon beside the URL line. It is no longer there. It disappeared after Firefox prompted me to update.
    I believe that the add-on is still available to use by Firefox because it has a drop-down embedded in the "tools" drop-down in Firefox.
    I have attempted to reload Video Download Helper, but to no avail.
    Thanks for your help!

    Try this:
    http://www.downloadhelper.net/manual.php
    You may need to manually add the icon to your toolbar.

  • Designing new skins for online help AIR App

    I hope to output my online help as an AIR application, and one thing I want to be able to do is customise the skin to make it on-brand with our existing applications and corporate look and feel.
    I am using Robohelp x5, and Adobe CS3 Design Premium, but plan to upgrade both to the newest versions in the near future.
    I have been looking around the web and nothing leaps out as a definite solution.
    What do I need to edit and what application should I edit it in?
    All thoughts and suggestions gratefully received.
    BTW: I have seen the other posts on this subject and have submitted this to the 'Wish list'. However in the meantime I want to see if I can create a customised skin with the help of a developer. (Also can't figure how to move this post to the AIR Help forum!)

    Adminstrator / Moderator,
    I do believe I should have made this post in the AIRHELP category of the ROBOHELP forum instead.
    If you agree, please can you move it accordingly.
    Cheers,
    Richard

  • Windows 7 displays the icon for my C3180 (connected to an XP PC) but cannot connect to it

    I have a Photosmart C3180 connected to an XP Pro PC on a LAN. I have a 2nd PC connected to the LAN. I upgraded this 2nd PC from vista business to win 7 32 bit home. The Win 7 PC can 'see' the printer on the network but cannot connect to it. It says: 'Operation failed with error 0x0000046a'. I downloaded and installed the Win 7 32 bit programs and drivers for this printer. It works if I connect it to the Win 7 USB but not across the network. Any advice greatfully received.
    Thanks

    Here is a url that goes to a great HP printer diagnostics utilities page. You should be able to find a network connection utility on the page that helps you solve your connection issue.

  • Good afternoon. since installing 8beta the icon for download helper disappeared from the toolbar. a previous helper had me turn off other plugins and restartr, but i lost here and still have the same problem. thanks for your assistance.

    this is what the previous helped asked me to do, severely edited. then she told me to restart and i lost her.
    You are now chatting with Firefox community member zzxc<br />
    zzxc: Hello<br />
    zzxc: Is it still in the add-ons tab/<br />
    steve: hi. i dont see it. it usually is on the menu bar towards the left, at least before i did this upgrade<br />
    steve: actually, i realize i dont know what an add-on tab loos like- previously it just floated between the "latest headlines" etc and the bookmark toolbar<br />
    zzxc: look in Firefox->Addons<br />
    steve: i'm on an imac osX snow leopard. i see add-ons under firefox>tools>addons, but when i click on that, nothing is opening<br />
    zzxc: try going to about:addons in Firefox's address bar<br />
    steve: if i understand, firefox>about just tells me that im using 8.0beta. the only place i see the word add-ons is under tools. unless im unclear about where you mean by firefox's address bar, which i'm thinking means the bar with my own bookmarks menu. the bar with the URL- i don't see anything on that like you describe.<br />
    zzxc: ok - when you try to go to tools->addons, nothing happens?<br />
    steve: it didnt my first 3 tries, and it opened a page which says: about:addons in the URL spot, and "add-ons manager" in the tab<br />
    steve: just now opened that page<br />
    steve: forgive my typing<br />
    zzxc: ok - in there, look in Extensions. is downloadhelper enabled there?<br />
    zzxc: (click it - you should see a disable button if it's enabled)<br />
    steve: i assume it is enabled because the button there reads: disable"<br />
    steve: btw, the i-click youtubedownloader and SpeakingFox say they’re incompatible with 8.0.<br />
    zzxc: so it seems to be enabled<br />
    zzxc: right click the toolbar and go to customize<br />
    zzxc: see if the downloadhelper button is in the customize window<br />
    steve: it's not there. the only addon there i recognize is Zotero<br />
    zzxc: Do you see the downloadhelper logo on youtube video pages, to the left of the video title?<br />
    zzxc: eg. look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpzUCA5i6zY<br />
    zzxc: try with just downloadhelper enabled and no other add-ons enabled<br />
    zzxc: other add-ons could be interfering with downloadhelper<br />
    steve: ok i'll try that now- since the downloadhelper logo wasnt on the youtube page<br />
    steve: ok. i disabled all except downloadhelper<br />
    steve: but no downloadhelper logo appears anywhere on the toolbars or anywhere above<br />
    zzxc: is there an error in Error Console about it?<br />
    zzxc: command+shift+J on a mac<br />
    steve: when i clicked on the errors tab, the window under it was blank<br />
    zzxc: In Firefox, open the Firefox->Help menu and choose Troubleshooting Information. On the page that opens, click Copy all to clipboard. Finally, paste the clipboard into this chat by using CTRL+V. (You can also paste by right clicking and pressing paste)<br />
    steve: ok thanks brb<br />
    steve: hi zz. i clicked on COPY TO CLIPBD but it didnt do anything i could see. (is the clipboard something i find somewhere else? i am able to cut n paste that entire page if you want.<br />
    zzxc: press CTRL+V in this chat<br />
    zzxc: that should paste it here.

    Try:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    *Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
    *If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

  • I can not open most mp3 and videos in Firefox with Windows 7 64 bit. thanks for your help

    this problem is consistent on two computers with same scenario. I can not open on my site oneradionetwork.com and it is a mixed bag with opening on other sites.

    Firefox should work fine on Windows 7 64bit systems. Are you having problems, or just wondering?

  • New Trends For Online Help

    Hi,
    My project team uses Robohelp X5 and Robohelp X8 to generate help files. Recently, a lot of UI changes have been introduced. They have tried to enhance the look and feel of the application so that it resembles the commonly used social networking sites like facebook, orkut, etc. We have been asked to do a research on the kind of help available in all social networking sites available.
    The help in those sites is very much different in terms of language used, search functionality, how do i questions, topics as links etc.
    I would like to know if its possible to change the look and feel of the help, not only the skin, but in the way it works, making it more user friendly.
    Do you have any other suggestions for enhancing the help?
    Thanks in advance!

    Most of this inquiry can only be answered after high level discussions involving multiple disciplines within your organization, leading to business decisions that are, of course, well beyond the purview of most users in this forum. That is:
    How will the help be delivered (installed to user machines, installed on customers' servers, distributed on your company web site or user portal)? That is, will HTML Help, WebHelp, AIR Help be the best way to go?
    Will the help be embedded in your software product (this will require some high level expertise on the part of your developers)?
    How large will the help be, how many authors will be working on it, and how sophisticated are they in the use of RH?
    You would do well to check out the excellent web sites maintained by Peter Grainge, Rick Stone, Colum McAndrew, Willam van Weelden, etc., all long-time contributors to this forum. Once you've done your due diligence, and gotten more top level guidance from these good folks, you'll certainly have specific questions that will gladly be answered here, as usual.
    Good luck,

  • Issue with context menu for online help?

    Try this
    1. Start JDeveloper; Choose Help | Table of Contents and make it visible in Navigator
    2. Close JDeveloper and start it again
    3. Try right clicking on a help node in the Help tab in Navigator. the context menu does not appear until you choose Help | Table of Contents again.
    Is this expected behavior?

    Can you specify what release you are using when you run into this problem? This is a bug, not expected behavior.

  • Automatically generate thumbnail image icons for all pix and vids...

    hello,
    i've searched around on the forums a bit about making the icons of my pics and vids actual thumbnail images made from the picture or the first frame of the video.
    a lot of responses are mistaking this question for "how do i put the window into icon view?" this infact is not the answer that i suspect a lot of windows converts are looking for.
    windows automatically makes such icons for all pix and vids if you put the window into icon view.
    i notice in at cmd-j or in the window preferences there is a checkbox for "show image preview" or something like that, but despite this being checked, my pix and vids do not show an image preview. i'm gathering that this information does not exist in the resource fork which mac uses to organize photos.
    is there any script or addition i can make to my system to automatically generate icons for pics and vids of all types? how to i suggest to mac that they add this functionality into the next release?
    thanks for your time,
    max

    The Finder will create icons "on the fly" for nearly all graphic type files (jpegs, tiff, psd, and so on) and display them in both icon view and column view, provided the appropriate view preference has been set. Movies will just have the generic movie icon in icon view, and have a "live" preview in column view, ie you can play them in preview mode. If you want to add a permanent thumbnail which will display in all views, and whether or not the preference has been set for a particular folder in Finder, you'll need to add a thumbnail to the file. There are lots of ways to do this for static pictures, even rather clumsy ways to do it for movies, but the easiest thing is to get CocoThumbX:
    http://www.stalkingwolf.net/software/cocothumbx/
    Drag and drop both static pictures and movie files onto the application and a permanent thumbnail is created. Indeed, it will create cool thumbs even for things like PDF and HTML files (code or rendered display). For movies to get a thumb, they must be in a format that QuickTime can read. It has a set of preferences for just how you want the thumb determined (eg random or at a certain time), and you can drop batches of movies or even folders to have it assign thumbs to multiple movies at the same time. It is a way cool piece of shareware.

  • Icon for browser

    I have had this reported by my QA team for my web-based product.
    I am on RH8 - 8.02.208
    See below, the icon for the help in the address and on the tab of the IE browser shows the generic Internet icon.
    We do have a custom icon that we use for our application in the address bar and on the tab.
    Is there somewhere in a project I can define the icon/graphic that we want to show?
    As always, thanks in advance for any assistance.
    Michael F Weart

    I checked out your Snippets section on your site and did not see anything on this for RH8.
    Do you have the snippet number?
    BTW - I tried replacing the whstart.ico file with one of my own (named whstart.ico but with my graphic) and it did not work.
    I also tried editing the existing whstart.ico in my output directory and it did not work either.
    I edited with SnagIt 9 Editor
    Thanks --
