Drag and drop frames ?

Not sure wether the subject is matching, but here we go: I wan't a window/frame/whatever that can contain smaller windows/frames that all have the same width. When they are in this container they can only be arranged over and under eachother (the container window should ofcourse have approx the same width as these inner-windows). This could, i guess, be accomplished with a desktop..
But not for the tricky part: The user should be able to move a window from this desktop/container to another. Furthermore it should be possible to "lock" the windows so that the user can't move them. The user should still be able to use the contents but not move the windows. Hope someone has an idea of hove to solve this! I'm not asking for an implementation, just a hint of where to begin..
thanks in advance

Hello, I'll give you my 5c :) ..
I'd try implementing this using JDesktopPane as DragTarget and JInternalFrames as the DragSource's that can be dragged from one frame to another.
JavaWorld has a good article that disusses drag'n'drop of GUI components;
http://www.javaworld.com/jw-08-1999/jw-08-draganddrop.html
I'd override the JInternalFrames to not react to setX() (or whatever, check the API) so that they did not move when locked.

Drag and drop picture frames in Photoshop Elements 11 from one file to another?

Hello,
I am a digital scrapbooker.
I recently started using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. I previously had been using Elements 7. I make extensive use of Picture Frames i.e "Basic Black 10px", and in Elements 7, it was very easy to drag and drop a picture frame from one file to another. (I use a separate file for each scrapbook page, and I often move pictures between pages as I scrap them)
In Photoshop Elementa 11, I can drag and drop a picture frame from one file to another, but ONLY if there is no picture in it. If there is a picture, I cannot drag and drop - the circle-slash icon appears showing that it won't land. I was able to do this in Photoshop Elements 7, whether or not there was a picture in the frame.
Any ideas of what I might be doing wrong, or did Photoshop Elements change this functionality?
Thank you!

I think this might be a bug in pse 11, at least on the windows version.
You might try right clicking on the frame layer in the layers panel, choose Duplicate Frame Layer and pick your other document as the destination.

Drag and drop still frames

I want to export a number of still frames from a movie for insertion into a report made using Pages
At present I use imovie 6 HD and I can command F to save the frame to a folder of choice and later command drag and drop to insert the saved still frame within the confines of a table cell. I can also use quicktime 7 pro and command E to export as a picture
I got to thinking why can't I just drag and drop the frame I am viewing straight from the open quicktime window into the table cell in Pages. I just want the still frame not the whole movie.
Any work arounds?
Thanks in anticipation

Actually it is not such a bad idea as I email a pdf version to my customers anyway. Using PDF shrink I got a 66 meg pages file with 6 'stills' down to 106kb. It initially went down to 1meg just using export from Pages
The trouble is that the large size of the pages document makes it a bit slow to respond if lots of 'stills' are taken from a large movie file.
Shame there is not a keyboard combination to do what I wanted in the first place using drag n drop
I shouldn't complain though. I understand that the current imovie still can't export still frames at all.
Thanks again for your interest

Dragging ande dropping into a frame?

Hi all,
I am new to Swing Programming and i have a problem in implementing the JTree.

Please help me by some links or tutorials or any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks In advance.....
Looking forward for your reply.....

Drag and drop images into anchored frames -- can this be done with the images imported by reference?

My company bought a product from another company and the only manuals files that came with it were in pdf format. I am currently grabbing text out in Acrobat, then pasting and reformatting it in FrameMaker. Boring and tedious. . . .
Eventually I get to the point of importing the illustrations. There are *hundreds* of them. As a rule, we import the files by reference, to keep the chapter size smaller and to be able to double click the image to open it for modification.
However, I can drag an image file from the folder window and drop it into an anchored frame. Oooh, this is fast--way faster than all the mousework that goes into clicking file>import>file>[choosing the file then hitting the import button].
But, dang it, that copies the image into the FrameMaker file. No double-click opening. Giant fm. file size. Mad boss, shaking an SOP standards sheet in my face.
So, my question: Is there a way to import an image *by reference* by dragging and dropping them into an anchored frame?
Thanks, folks.

I tried the RTF route and, in addition to getting the body text I wanted, got paragraph after paragraph of the page numbers, the illustration text, the header and footer verbiage, all randomly placed between body text paragraphs.
I did the same file twice, once by saving as RTF and deleting unwanted stuff, then repairing body paragraphs (each line of which is a seperate paragraph in the RTF file) and also by sweeping only the necessary text, then copying and pasting it page by page. The second method was a bit faster and less frustrating. Not to say that it isn't slow and frustrating in itself, but just a bit less. Less errors, too, with the second method.
Bummer about importing by reference. I don't suppose there's a way to set up recorded actions with hotkeys, is there? Like in Illustrator?
Thanks, Art.

Drag and Drop Success Message and Timer on all frames in Captivate

Hi All,
I am trying to do two things in a captivate project I am working upon currently. They are :-
1. I have a drag and drop exercise where I have chosen the setting that the drop does not accept the incorrect drag item and sends it back immediately. I am trying to make a success caption like 'Good Job' or somethign appear on the user putting all the drag source in the correct drop boxes. I am not using the submit button. Once the success caption appears the user can click on a next button to move to next slide. I am not able to put the success caption there.
2. I am trying to put an active timer on the slides so the user can see the total time of elearning, time elapsed or time left on all slides.
Can you guys help me out with these issues I have.
Thanks
Aashish

What did you do with the Submit button? Did you activate Auto Submit? Be careful with just deleting essential objects for D&D, same as for question slides.
Explanation about Success caption can be found in this article:
Drag&Drop tips - Captivate blog
There are two learning interactions, Hourglass and Timer that you can use (besides the work flow explained in the other article). And it is important to know the difference between 'editor's time' and real time. This is explained in the article that Sreekanth pointed to.

Mail "New Message" window retreats to background after drag and drop attachment from Finder to Mail "New Message", click, and Finder window stays in foreground even when not in focus

Hi, I'm surprised I can't quickly find if anyone else is having this issue. For me it has been going on since Lion on my 13" MacBook Pro 2011 and it's still persisting in Mavericks, and even still now that I've "downgraded" to a 15" MacBook Pro 2010 with Mavericks. The behavior is odd and difficult to explain concisely. Basically, when I want to add an attachment to Mail, I'll Cmd+Tab over to Finder click and drag and Cmd+Tab back to Mail, and drop the attachment. At first it looks fine, but when I click in the New Message window where I just dropped the attachment, to move the cursor, it retreats to the background and the Mail Main Window comes to the foreground. Then, if I click on that, the Finder window that I just used comes to the foreground. Sometimes if I switched to another app before going to Finder to select the drag and drop, that other app window will appear in the foreground instead. If I click on the other app window that is now in the foreground, then the Finder window that was last used will come to the foreground. The only thing that seems to fix this switch-a-roo effect is Cmd+Tab-ing back and forth a few times, or click on the window "frame" at the top to move the window around.
The way to prevent this is to have my Mail Message window visible in the foreground side by side with the Finder window when the drag and drop occurs (this is a tedious extra step if mulitple windows are open, or to use the add attachment command in the menu within Mail. But it sure is annoying buggy behavior.
Thanks
Daniel

Yep, I get exactly the same thing when using Thunderbird mail client on my 2011 iMac running Lion. I've been putting up with it for at least a year, maybe longer.
For me it appeared to start after a Thunderbird update, so I figured that was the cause and couldn't find a solution at the time. However I've now noticed it starting to happen in Apple Motion 4 when dragging files from Finder into a DropZone in my animations. Motion remains the active program but the Finder window sits on top until I Cmd-tab out to a third open program (ie not Finder) and back to Motion again.
This is the first indicator I've had that it's an OS X issue.
Be great to find a solution as D&D is by far my preferred way of adding attachments to emails and similar tasks.

Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?

Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?
I have not found any article that has answered this question. They have come up with things like open the side bar and it will work, or you are using wrong format of music. Now this all happened when I upgraded to iTunes 10 and has not worked since and it worked fine before. Music format is correct, I have even gone as far as copying a file already in iTunes and trying to add it again. As soon as the files enters the frame of iTunes the music files icon the pointer is carrying turns into a circle with a slash through it.
ITunes Ver. is 11.1.5.5 Windows Ver. is Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
Files I have tried adding are standard MP3, 256 kbps purchased AAC Audio file, MP3 converted by iTunes into a 256 or 320 kbps AAC Audio file. None can be draged and droped but all can added by going to File/Add File to Library... or File/Add Folder to Library...
Add items from your computer to your iTunes library
Do either of the following:
1. Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
2. In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
I can add files and folders by doing number 2 above but can not doing number 1
I have gone as far as uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling per apple procedures below.
Steps
1. Remove iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.

I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
To resolve it from within Itunes I did : Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
Click OK.
Closed iTunes/
Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
Works fine now.

PSE 11 editor has stopped importing from scanner, no longer permits drag and drop, will not permit cropping, and other bizarre issues

Windows 8.1, PSE 11
I am having a number of issues including loss of import functionality from scanner, I can't drag and drop photos into the editor any more as well, or at least not after the first one. The crop function stops working after the first couple of photos. Then some freezing. A little added crashing. A plethora of other bizarre issues as well. This just stated happening a couple of days ago.
What I have tried:
Uninstall/Install.
Deleted preferences both before opening Editor (crontrol-alt-delete) and after opening it.
Kindly advise. Thanks!

OK! Check it, like I said in previous posts I seemed to have narrowed it down to specific mp3s not converting and playing in their native sample rate which if paired with another sample would give you the "audio midi sync" error and basically screw up your clock! It appears mp3 files converting to mp3 using iTunes would not convert to the correct sample rate if set to something other than 44 in logic and cause this. A tad peculiar Apple iTunes won't work with Apple Logic. I was able to confirm this on two mac's via my friend in Florida. He's running Tiger and tried the same experiment and Booya! Mickey Mouse! It appears this insane week long adventure has came to an end (...god willing) with a super specific unlucky shot in the dark on my part finally revealed to be an perfectly normal function of Logic (obviously one i'm not fond of..) As far as the errors / crashes / system overloads / kernal panics I think I can sort those out to the mackie onyx satellite not being a good choice and trying to add and remove firewire devices in the middle of the sample rate mayhem. Wow! all I can say is, I'm glad it's over
Wish me a lot of luck in the future.. I'm sure i'll need it!

Can i make a book in iPhoto without using any of the built in layout templates, which are too limiting when i have already cropped my pictures to show just what I want. Ideally I just want to drag and drop and arrange and size the pictures myself

If you have Pages you can create customs pages for your book as TD suggested. If you have Pages from iWork 09 or 11 this app will add 80 or so additional frames to those offered: Frames and Strokes Installer. Don't use it on the latest Pages version, however.
This tutorial shows how to create a custom page with the theme's background: iP11 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book. Once the page is complete to get it into iPhoto as a jpeg file follow these steps:
Here's how to get any file into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
1 - open the file in any application that will open it.
2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
3 - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
NOTE: If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow.zip
Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. For books to be printed choose 300 dpi.

Is it possible to add a drag and drop interaction to a called image in a contaner?

this forum is my last hope =( i know how to do drag and drop
by itself, however right now i have my flash set up so that when
you click BUTTON A, it does:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndPlay ("photo1");
once it goes to "photo1", on that frame, i wrote actions on
the frame to:
var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader ();
myMCL.loadClip ("images/heritageBrochureFront.png",
"container_mc");
stop();
so it loads my picture into the container. my question, once
the image it in the container, can i add drag and drop interaction
to it? i would really love an easy solution.

yes. there are a couple of ways to do this.
one is the create a child movieclip of container_mc and load
into that child and assign your onPress/startDrag
onRelease/stopDrag methods to container_mc.
a second way is to load into container_mc (like you're
currently doing), wait until loading is complete (ie, use the
onLoad method of an mcl listener) and then assign your methods to
container_mc.

Drag and Drop in CSS Styles Panel

So, I am going through Dreamweaver CS5 Classroom in a Book. In lesson 6, pages 106 through109, it tells you to drag and drop rules in the CSS Styles Panel into a certain order. I can't seem to get it to work for me. Am I missing something?

What do u mean by saying this?? Drag & Drop is possible for
components example Jtree , jtable .These are placed on containers like JApplet, Applet or frame .
So the answer is yes !
there is a seprate package devoted to Drag & Drop.

Drag and Drop Export Done is called too soon...

Hi,
I am trying to drag and drop a JLabel from a JPanel into another JPanel. I am no where near to figuring it out, but just for starters I notice that the exportDone() method is called in my custom TransferHandler immediately when the drag begins. Even stranger, createTransferable() is never called. (I am comparing my code to the DragPictureDemo that I found online). The question is, why is exportDone called immediately? Code below. Thanks. (BTW, any other suggestions about what I'm trying to do would be appreciated. I'm not confident in the direction I'm taking here... have yet to understand the Swing DnD mechanism...)
From DragPictureDemo, I notice that createTransferable and exportAsDrag are called immediately upon drag, and exportDone is called at the drop.

No idea whether this will be helpful, but exportDone() is not called immediately if you remove the call to super.exportAsDrag.
db
edit Since your earlier post, I've been trying to teach myself Swing DnD, but am finding the documentation confusing and the tutorials primitive... I'd reached a conclusion, which has every chance of being wrong, that I should call createTransferable from exportAsDrag. FWIW these are the methods as of now -- nothing works :-(   @Override
   public void exportAsDrag(JComponent comp, InputEvent e, int action) {
      // count is a instance field to monitor repeated calls
      System.out.println(count + ". " + "exportAsDrag"); count++;
      //super.exportAsDrag(comp, e, action);
      // dragSource is a instance field of type Container
      dragSource = comp.getParent();
      createTransferable(comp);
   @Override
   protected Transferable createTransferable(JComponent child) {
      System.out.println(count + ". " + "createTransferable"); count++;
      // ComponentHandler implements Transferable
      Transferable t = new ComponentHandler(child);
      return t;
   }The commented line is from testing a possible cause of your problem, since my code never gets as far as exportDone() :-(

Links between drag and drop Objekts

Hello Pros,
I need to create a Desktop Pane ore something.
Here I want to place a bar with some buttons. By pressing on some of these it should create a new instance of a little Frame, Button, Label ore something where I can add a choice ore what ever.
But this isn�t the Problem jet.
What I need is a Pane like I tell but the created Object must be movable in the frame. And another Problem is to link them to another.
All should be like a MS Visio ore something. Objects that linking to the direct follower.
I hope someone can help me. What I need would be at first some code who show me how I can create some movable objects and how I link them. The lines must follow the objects.
I hope some off you can help me.
Thanks beforehand for your answers and sorry about my bad English ;-).

Can you drag and drop between computers on the same network? I am using leopard and can move files via the finder; when using screen sharing it would be good to drag and drop between screens.
Well, the obvious question is... did you try just dragging them between screens, and what happened? My guess is that it works - but if it doesn't, there's the nifty Get Clipboard Contents/Paste Clipboard contents commands that work between screens, and they work to copy and paste files cross-computer (which is actually much more convenient than drag-n-drop, since you don't have to worry about positioning two windows juuusst right...)

Drag and drop frames ?
