Designing a Custom GUI in Java

Anyone know where to start this? I'm not talking about changing the colors around on the premade ones supplied by Java. I want to know if it's possible to completely design your own gui to make it look and act truly unique. Take a look at WinAmp... could something like that be designed in Java?

If skinning is what you mean take a look at SkinLF, available at http://www.l2fprod.com/.

How to design a custom browser using Java?

Hi,
Which of the Java APIs (packages) we have to use to design a custom browser?

Hi,
I will agree with your words jverd.
But, APIs like WebRenderer API (http://www.webrenderer.com/) can be used in developing Browsers (of course, this API is also based on Core APIs of Java).
Here my question is what are the different packages of Java that are needed exactly to design Browser with out the help of THIRD PARTY API(like WebRenderer API).
thank you.You're totally missing the point.

Can we design a custom GUI for Displaying KM docs

Hi all,
The task is to secure the documents published in KM and accessible (read&write)to a limited group,the proposal is to display the docs in a new GUI which lacks options like, "save as , print,copy,paste," and i should also be able to disable certain Keyboard strokes like "printscreen,ctrl+C" etc.
Request you all to tell me the possiblity of such GUI design else kindly suggest me any other alternative like role based splitting....etc...

Front End (GUI) for Java Web Based Appl.

Hi Gurus,
I am new to Java. Can anybody tell me, what is the front end(GUI) used in Java web based applications? I was told that Swings/Applets are rarely used. Is there are a 3rd party took to design GUI for Java based applications?

U mean to say, for JSP/Servlets, "Web based application" as well as "JSP/Servlet" usually implies that the client is a simple web browser.
we cannot have swing as front end?You can use Swing inside an Applet inside a web application, but usually that's not needed, as you already have a client application that's quite powerful (the browser).

Customer gui components needed?

I require to build a program with which allows the user to add representations of objects onto the main GUI by adding a seperate square for each object. each square should be capable of being moved, resized, deleted as well as have text displayed in it, and another object associated with it (but I'm currently just dealing with the GUI side of things). Each square will also need to be connected to others by means of an arrow from one square to another. Any suggestions as to where to start as there does not seem to be any appropriate widgets provided by java for this and I am having trouble finding stuff on the net about it. Will creating my own custom GUI components be the best option? If so any tips on how to do this?
Regards

Hello Ravi,
Create a Variable for 0CALMONTH, and use this code,
' Declare this in the top
data : v_startmon(6) type n,
v_endmon(6) type n,
' Include this in the case statement
when 'VarName'.
' Step 2 will execute after the user Input
if i_step = 2.
v_year = sy-datum(4).
v_mon = sy-datum+4(2) - 1.
' If the month is Jan
IF v_mon = '00'.
CONCATENATE v_year '01' INTO v_startmon.
CONCATENATE v_year '01' INTO v_endmon.
ELSE.
CONCATENATE v_year '01' INTO v_startmon.
CONCATENATE v_year v_mon INTO v_endmon.
EndIF.
clear l_s_range.
l_s_range-low = v_startmon.
l_s_range-high = v_endmon.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'BT'.
append l_s_range to e_t_range.
Endif.

SAP GUI for JAVA - Search Help ALV display

I need to be able to display search helps in the ALV grid format or the ' Dialog Modal ' option as seen on the Settings for all F4 helps tab under the personalize option for search helps.
Currently when I am using a Macintosh machine the system ignores the system setting and my personal settings and displays all search results in an ABAP List format. Unfortunately the ABAP list format does not work correctly when used to input a field on another ABAP list report.
This behaviour can be found on the Mozilla Firefox browser when SAP GUI for HTML and the SAP GUI for JAVA.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Rolf-Martin,
Thank you for your detailed explanation on how the ALV grid control is implemented for the SAP GUI for Java. This has been pretty insightful. The good news is that I finally figured out a solution to my problem. You see I inherited an old custom program where an ABAP list is used as an interactive data capture screen with input fields. Well a couple of fields had search helps. The program has worked fine with the regular SAP GUI until a MAC OS user tried to use it with the SAP GUI for Java. Whenever they selected a line from the search help it would bring back the entire onto their input screen.
A sample of the code:
form search_help.
 CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'
 EXPORTING
 TABNAME = 'EKPO'
 FIELDNAME = 'MATNR'
 SEARCHHELP = 'ZMAT1_A'
 SHLPPARAM = 'MATNR'
 TABLES
 RETURN_TAB = RET_TABLE.
IF NOT RET_TABLE-FIELDVAL IS INITIAL.
 LINXX-XMATNR = RET_TABLE-FIELDVAL.
 MODIFY CURRENT LINE FIELD VALUE XMATNR FROM LINXX-XMATNR. " ****
ENDIF.
SET CURSOR 9 SY-CUROW. " ********
endform.
The problem was being caused by the fact that the search help ABAP list was overriding the sy-XXXX values for the current line contents, index, pageno, cursor row for the calling ABAP list. So when a user selected a row from the search help this would now become the current context and be transferred back to the calling program.
The fix was pretty simple; all I had to do was save the current line context and the context prior to calling the search help. After the search help was run I would then replace the current line with the saved one in my local variable. I hope this makes sense. We now have a couple of happy MAC OS users.
Once again I thank you for your patience and support in this matter.
Have a great day,
Edwin.

Help with where to begin creating a custom GUI?

Links to good tutorials helpful.
Basically I have never created a GUI for java beyond your basic text box, radio button, button etc.
I need to create a GUI using custom images for the buttons, images etc. I kind of don't know where to begin since all I have done prior is create a GUI with functionality already present in java. I need drop down menus etc.
Any help is appreciated.

All of this functionality that you are mentioning is available with Swing. You can do a google search for java Swing tutorials; if you need further help, please visit the Swing forum.

Implement Screenflow using PAPI in Custom GUI

Hi
We are trying to implement our custon GUI (.NET) using the PAPI api , we are able to retrieve the Views /Presentations / Inbox and other view instances . However I want some suggestions regarding how to implement the Screen flows /Process Work Items in the custom GUI using the PAPI call . Is there any API's which are already available to do these .
I see that the API has options like runActivity etc within the session , am I on the right track (however I am unclear how to achieve the screenflow in API mode)
Thanks

Probably is not what you want but have you consider implement the interactive activities as external and build them in .NET?.
I think there are other threads in this forum and product documentation that explain how you implement an interactive activity as external but let you explain in few words.
1.- You create an external resource of type server configuration where you will have your .NET external application. The engine when executing this activity is going to redirect yo to that url adding the user, the activity id and the instance id.
2.- You implement the interactive activity as external, main task external.
3.- In the bottom part you put the url already defined in step 1.
4.- You define a prepare method. This is the method that you have to execute once the execution has been redirected to your .NET external application, you have the instanceid and then you can perform the prepare with PAPIWS. With the prepare you interchange information with the engine, you can define out arguments that you take in your application and also the engine blocks that instance to prevent other user execute the same activity to the same instance. Once yo have the control of the execution in your external application you can show the process data in your .NET client, modify it...
5.- You define a commit method, this is the method that you have to invoke, again with PAPIWS from your external application once you have finished the activity (the activity can be a .NET screenflow in your case). Performing the commit method you pass information back to the engine and the engine unblocks the instance execution.
I think that if you want to have the interactives built in .NET this is the recommended approach.

SAP GUI for Java 7.00 rev 4 - bug in ABAP download

When I try to download ABAP source code or when I use "Edit Locally" in SE38 (the easiest way how to write/edit programs with a comfortable editor), ABAP source is downloaded to my computer with trailing 0x00 bytes. It has small side-effect in Local Editing: new code with this block is uploaded into SAP and syntax check of such program fails.
Using 7.00 rev 3 works fine.
Has anybody idea how to eliminate this bug?
Wishlist, but to another forum: It will be really nice to assign hot-key to this menu item in SE38.
Thank you,
Pavel

Hello Pavel,
thanks for bringing this to our attention.
This is a bug in SAP GUI for Java 7.00 rev 4 and we will fix this in the next revision.
