Does anyone know how to win a fight with layout manager?

I am using the form designer in netBeans to design my page, which has a jPanel on the left and a number of controls on the right.
My problem is that when I eventually get it to look half right at design time, it looks different at run time. The fonts are different, the combo boxes are a different height and some of my text boxes are 4 times as wide. http://RPSeaman.googlepages.com/layout.GIF shows both the design-time view and the run-time view. How can I win my fight with layout manager?

I'd like to do an experiment where you take say 20 pairs of students of java, with each pair matched in terms of prior programming and java experience, general knowledge, etc... and set one of each pair to learn Swing using netbeans and its layout generator with the other pair learning to code Swing by hand. Then 6 months later compare their abilities. I'll bet that the code by hand group will blow the other group out of the water in terms of understanding and ability.
Just my 2 Sheckel's worth.

    Does anyone know how to connect wireless speakers with itunes through airplay? I am not getting the airplay icon in itunes.

    JBL doesn't have any speakers called "Spiral" that I can find, but anyway, perhaps something in this Apple support article on AirPlay troubleshooting will help:

  • Does anyone know how to permanently delete emails with attachments on the ipod touch?

    Hey guys, a few months ago I sent an email from my cell to my ipodtouch(I have the newest model) to a friend(she has a older model) does anyone know if you delete the email by clicking on trash then will it be non recoverable? Thanks

    You will need to empty also trash to be sure. The email and the attachment will not be on iPod but may be a copy will still be on a server of your provider according to the system he uses (IMAP or POP3) and according to the preferences you have set on the mail programs (leave message on the server... delete it after a date or after deleting it from inbox or... there are many possibility).
    If the mail message is still on a server teoretically you can download it again from the iPod or even another computer.. of course knowing your account settings and password.
    What is not clear in your message: you mention 3 devices: sent thge mail from your cell (1) to your iPod (2) and/or to your friend (3).
    Added later: you will also need to check the SentMessage Folder because a copy of the mail could also be there if you sett to keep a copy there.

  • Does anyone know how to make this Box with prices?

    Hello!!
    I am making my 'wedding website' I am unware of what the 'actual term(s)' of how to call these element.
    I wanted to know if anyone knows if it is possible to make these price boxes with the amount filling box under it?
    Can you make something like this in MUSE (it seems perfectly possible) Can someone give me a hand or tutorial on how to do this.
    I was thinking of using some kind of widget or compositions. Many thanks! Here is the actual website to see it in action. Its under 'Gifts' section http://celebr8with.us/
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi
    The drop downs with price attributes would require custom coding on your end, but if you have a fixed price then you can use product information for sale purpose with price listed in the product itself.
    Something like this :

  • Does anyone know how you can play video with the screen locked and not just recorded video. Like downloaded video?

    So I want to be able to play video mp4 for my kids and lock the screen so that they don't disable or stop the video. Is there anyway you can lock the screen and play video? I've seen an app that tries to do this, but it only plays video recorded from the device. Also, it's not very good. I've also looked at IOS 5, but it only seems to support audio, not video, unless I am not doing something correctly? What happened to the simple old manual 'hold' switches that most devices have, like the PSP etc? It seems like all of the touch devices have neglected a simple touch disable button? Anyway, please provide any enlightenment here. 

    actually nevermind, it's working now. I closed iTunes, then waited a little, then double clicked one of my iTunes video files from my documents, which opened up iTunes again and the video started playing. I tried restarting iTunes before and that didn't work, so maybe for those who have similar problems, just try clicking on the video file in your documents/desktop of your computer, rather than directly from iTunes.

  • Does anyone know how I can record continuously with my Ipod Touch 5g?

    Hello everyone, I'm trying to make my ipod touch as a dash cam for my daily drive. I wanted to my ipod to atleast record for 40 minutes while driving, but it keeps stopping using the regular camera app. Even with dash cam apps, they still give me problems, or they are set to certain recording time. Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Too little for what?
    Do a test to see how longe 18 GB lasts. Based on Apple_iOS4Life 180 MB/min that would get you 77 minutes.

  • Does anyone know how to use iWork series with the cloud?

    Im not seeing how to get my iMac docs linked to the cloud with the new OSX Mountain Lion. I see a move button in the menu but cannot find directions on how this works. Can someone enlighten me? Thanks

    Here's the easiest way to get documents into iCloud with iWork.
    Open up an iWork application (version 9.2) and choose "Open."  You'll get the file dialog.  Click the iCloud button in the upper left if it isn't selected already so you get the grey linen background.
    Then open a Finder window and find the relevant iWork documents you want in iCloud.  Simply drag them to the iWork document 'Open" window and they will be moved to iCloud.
    Note iCloud is not general-purpose file storage.  You can ONLY store Keynote files in Keynote iCloud, Pages in Pages, and Numbers in numbers.  So project folders where you have multiple different files types in the same folder are out.

  • HT4061 Does anyone know how to sync the ipad with outlook calendar????  I cannot find anything her that makes sense

    I am having issues syncing with    outlook calendar.  Can anyone help?

    I use iTunes.
    So connect your iPad to your computer and open iTunes. Click on the name of your iPad. (You may need to make the sidebar visible, control S on a PC)
    Navigate to the info tab and scroll down. There should be an option to sync the outlook calendar. Choose that and then sync and you should be good to go.

  • Does anyone know how i can embed a browser in my JFrame?

    In microsoft technologies they have OLE, where I can embed Internet Explorer into any application written in VB or C++ (or C Sharp).
    Does anyone know how I can do this with Java? Is there a way to make a java applet that has a browser in it?
    And then if there is, can I also put an invisible layer on top of that, and paste JLabels and stuff into that, over the browser window?

    Have a look at JEditorPane.
    From the API Guide:
    A text component to edit various kinds of content. This component uses implementations of the EditorKit to accomplish its behavior. It effectively morphs into the proper kind of text editor for the kind of content it is given. The content type that editor is bound to at any given time is determined by the EditorKit currently installed. If the content is set to a new URL, its type is used to determine the EditorKit that should be used to load the content.
    By default, the following types of content are known:
    text/plain
    Plain text, which is the default the type given isn't recognized. The kit used in this case is an extension of DefaultEditorKit that produces a wrapped plain text view.
    text/html
    HTML text. The kit used in this case is the class javax.swing.text.html.HTMLEditorKit which provides html 3.2 support.
    text/rtf
    RTF text. The kit used in this case is the class javax.swing.text.rtf.RTFEditorKit which provides a limited support of the Rich Text Format.

  • Does anyone know how to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.3 ios?

    After being tricked by the fast talking smoothy helper at Apple store in London to buy a micky mouse ipodtouch (fourth generation) two years ago I am stuck at ios 4.1 and find that all the useful applications need 4.3 or more. So I went to the trouble of letting the macbook stay open all night to load yet another micky mouse version of itunes so that I can upload the more recent version of ios and now (since I don't want to continually have a lot of rubbish on the ipod I disabled the automatic sync "feature") I can only go round in circles  whereby the only real possibility left is to turn on the autosync feature. I have had messages like "your ipod will be completely erased if you proceed" and "do you wish to fiddle another few days with this nasty system, then click on continue" and so on.
    Does anyone know how to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.3 ios?
    That would be great (maybe) because otherwise I will toss this children's waste product on the floor and set up my HD camera to show how easy it is to smash the brightly lit screen into pieces and relieve myself of trash which Apple sell to unsuspecting gullible humans who believe that they are not being tricked by such a nice company who produce shiny colourful gadgets which only work for a month or two before becoming 100% obsolete.
    Great to hear from those who have wasted many months of their lives and discovered how to trick the system into doing a simple update operation!
    I am insulted by the tricks that fool many and that apple pretend are "necessary".

    Illaass, your help is amazing - miles better than anyone working in this part of the world who is paid - and you do this for free - because, like me, you LOVE to help people!
    BUT, as I said above -
    1. There is nothing "mobile" under Application Support. For whatever reason.
    2. Devious - that Apple has set up iPod to not show in Finder - a red herring and sign that corruption is visible.
    I will try iFunBox next and it sounds like they provide this for the more serious users but use a trivial name to excuse further strangeness.

    and so we are back to where we always land - the user is left in the Apple designed sabotage situation which annoyed me so much initially.
    "Most users will give up at this point, loose all the data or buy yet another disposable from Apple. Less than 3% will work their way to this site and 90% of the 3% will leave the iPod to gather dust in the hope that someone will help later. In all, Apple gains, since people blame themselves for "mistakes" which Apple programmed to throw out users who do not take the 100% Apple path. But Illaass and myself still play the game of "trying to fix" something which Apple don't allow."  was the comment which I was going to write but decided against it, adding no value to the conversation other than explaining one reality which we all hoped could be wrong but which I thought to have a very high chance of being closer to the truth.
    Apologies for my doubts towards the integrity of the creators.

    Recheck: Under Application Support "mobilesync" folder has appeared (MobileMeSyncClient has also appeared [while again trying to update iPod] with zero size) - Good news, a Backup file is there, but it is only 3GB while my iPod has 32GB and is close to full (800MB free space).

    The iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).
    More Infomation    OK
    So it looks like I may have lost all the important pictures documenting various items all around Europe for the last two years - luckily I moved a year ago from the iPod toy camera to a Panasonic real camera with SD card which can be read on any computer. Hence important items lost may only be older than one year rather than the most recent items.
    Glad I have changed to Panasonic since they don't try to screw you when you don't use their system.
    I will now check the "more information" rather than just click on "OK" since I am of the 3% who "don't accept cr*p".
    For full information I quote that the iPod now shows a screen with a USB ikon, an upward arrow and an iTunes ikon (all micky mouse language which reduces transparant, clear and technical discussion and thus covers the trail of "where things went wrong").
    The iPod is still attached to the computer but the above MMTALK may mean that the iPod should be attached via USB to the mac. I record much of this activity on Video to be able to later prove EXACTLY what occurred, rather than having to rely on screenshots and opinions. We are after all dealing with important items which may later be required to be shown in court, as evidence against fraudsters.
    The "More Information" link leads to
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
    which I have already seen before.
    I clicked on OK and a help screen (unnamed as ever because no one like myself demanded that the help screens be named for later discussion) arrived:

    And I presume the earlier message about helping Apple is gone because I keep getting interrupted by this message called
    iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
    ok
    it has appeared now at least six times interferring with anything else I do. Each time I try to write, this message appears and blocks, but only when I write. I tried to do a carriage return and the message appeared taking the carriage return as acceptance of the OK in the
    iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
    ok
    Message. But since I have not removed the USB and keep returning to this message I am able to write for a few seconds (now 30 seconds or more) and the message remains on the screen but not blocking this conversation. It appears to be random but in fact as you can later see from the video, it is not reappearing each periodic number of seconds but as I reach a new comment.
    I will try to close iTunes so that this can be stopped (I clicked on OK and it appeared another few times, each time I clicked on ok and now it has left me in peace to write here although iTunes is still not yet closed).
    Difficult to log down all the strange behaviour but I think you can get the gist of what is going on.

    Should I remove the iPod and stop iTunes? I have a nasty feeling turning to indifference since I have video footage which will verify all the above in a court of law if later required. The truth must always win over any devious attempts at forcing people to do things they don't want to ;-)

  • I have almost 1200 contacts in my Outlook, all of which were assigned to a Category, so I could look people up by that Category. Almost 900 of the Category assignments are now blank. Does anyone know how to assign a contact to a group on the iPhone?

    I have almost 1200 contacts in my Outlook, all of which were assigned to a Category, so I could look people up by that Category. Almost 900 of the Category assignments are now blank. I am a recent iPhone user. When I had my BlackBerry, you could see or assign the Category in each contact. I don't see that when I go to "edit" in a contact. I don't want to go through all my contacts and reassign the Category, and then have them wiped out again. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    I'm sorry to hear that.
    I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago.  I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
    Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
    Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all.  I can go weeks between syncs.
    Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist.  Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one. 
    Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff).  Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
    Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for.  It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do.

  • Does anyone know how iCloud resolves conflicts? (iOS save games)

    Hello all,
    We're having some users report an issue with our App that their save game is being nuked when they close the App, sing in to iCloud and then re-open. We have a number of leads we can follow, but first thing is first; Does anyone know how conflicts are resolved by the iCloud system? What it does internally?
    Scenario:
    Achieve some amount of progress through an App.
    Achieve some other amount of progress through an App from a different device.
    Sign into iCloud on both.
    iCloud obviously decides which data to use, but how? Is it literally just a "last write to file wins" case?
    Another question is, does anybody know if iCloud would act strangely/not at all on a device which was jailbroken? We have a very small number of users reporting this issue so that may be another likely situation.
    Many thanks

    Yes, we are fully supporting iCloud. It's a very rare case that we get this report from users and no solid repro steps have yet been given. Many users have successfully played on multiple devices with iCloud enabled and their save game is perfectly intact. There just seems to be an edge case where it's possible that a call to iClouds synchronize and what it actually does in that function is resolving an older save file. So knowing what the internals of how it resolves conflicts will allow us to add another layer with our own conflict resolution specific to our App.
