Drag 'n Drop GUI maker

I know that jbuilder offers a free download and it has a drag 'n drop feature to create gui's. i searched the eclipse.org site and could not find any plug-in for that same type of feature. are there any other free programs that offer drag 'n drop capabilities, or is jbuilder the only one?

There is a list of 3rd party GUI plugins here:
http://eclipse-plugins.info/eclipse/plugins.jsp?category=UI
There is also the official Eclipse Visual Editor Project here:
http://www.eclipse.org/vep/
If you find one that will create Swing GUIs on a Mac, please let me know.

  • Need to make a drag and drop gui. How?

    Hi!
    I am making an application that has a toolbox/panel with different icons/images in it and a blank area that I can drag icons into from the toolbox. I also need a way to connect the icons together with arrows. Ultimately I want it all to represent a network of icons and connecting arrows. When I move an icon around, I need the arrows to follow. I need it to work kinda like MS Visio actually. After making the "network" I need to add values to the different icons and arrows (e.g. cost, number of items).
    I want an invisible grid on the blank area so the icons can get properly aligned (By snapping to the grid).
    For the draggable icons is the best way to make a custom component which extends JLabel or something?
    Thanks

  • How to use the palette or drag and drop functions in netbean?

    Is there anyone who can help me out on using drag and drop function in netbean to design GUI inteface..??
    Is palette is the tool that can be used to drag and drop.??
    thank you in advance.

    I actually really like the GUI builder in netbeans. I used to be a big eclipse user so I am very familiar with coding GUIs by hand, and most of what I do involves GUI's or at least swing.
    At first I hated netbeans, I hated that I couldn't edit the code most. Then I decided to take a deep breath and really examine the issue. What I discovered is that most of the edits I wanted to make but couldn't really weren't the right way to be doing it in the first place, for the rest the code is actually really easy to change you just have to know how.
    Now my palette is huge, probably about 250 objects in it organized into sections that work for me. Basically if I want a object to do something that is not already in the palette I simply write a new object and add it to the palette. I started small like with rounded buttons/progress bars, and as I got comfortable I now have some fairly advanced objects like grids, isometric grids, alpha composits, an animated hourglass countdown timer, and an animated "loading/activity" indicator that is not tied to a progress indicator.
    The main reason I stuck with the netbeans drag and drop GUI builder is it's layout manager is really a very nice layout manager, you couldn't pay me enough to go back to eclipse or codeing GUIs by hand, as I can now do in one day what used to take me several weeks.
    So what I am saying is stick with netbeans and the drag and drop, it sucks at first, but once you get to a point where you are comfortable with it and adding to the palette it will become a great tool.

  • Drag and Drop: Requiring All Answers

    Hi All,
    I'm new to Captivate (version 7) and I had a D&D question.
    Currently this is letting the user advance after one right "drag", but I want them to have to drag all correct answers before moving to the next slide. How can this be done?
    Thanks,
    Jared

    So check these:
    1) For your images/shapes/whatever, under the "Properties" tab under "Timing", make sure that they're set to display for "Rest of slide" and appear after 0 seconds.
    2) Under the "Drag and drop" tab, make sure that the "On success" button is set to "Continue". (You could also set it to "Pause" if you want it to display some type of feedback after they answer. If it's set to pause, you'll need another button or interaction that they press to continue.)
    3) If you have other timed items or "Advanced actions" they could also interfere, so check those as well.

  • Keyboard shortcuts while dragging-and-dropping?

    In Windows, when I'm dragging and dropping files from one folder to another, I can press keys on the keyboard to force it to change its behaviour -- for example, if I hold the Crtl key down, it will force it to copy files instead of move them.  Similarly, I can hold down the shift key to force it to move files when it wants to default to copying them.
    What is the equivalent keypress on a Mac running OS X 10.9.2?  It keeps moving files when I want to copy them (and vice-versa) and I just can't figure out which key(s) to press while dragging-and-dropping to make it change its behaviour.
    Thanks for your help,
    Laurence MacNeill

    Press the Option key to force a copy, or the Command key to force a move. Pressing both at once will create an alias.

  • 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

    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.

  • How to drag and drop a swing component that can make it behave like Visio.

    1) How to make a JComponent drag and drop that behave like visio? I understand it's possible to drag and drop a text or image, but no idea on how to do that on JComponent. 2) After the JComponent is dragged and dropped, how to make the JComponent to be able to resize by the user using mouse 3) The area that the JComponent dropped should it be GrassPane, LayerPane, or ContentPane?

    I see where you're going. I'm drawn to Thunderbird because it puts open emails in separate tabs, which makes finding a particular open message easier than searching the task bar for an open outlook message. I do see your point that tab happy programmers, probably too young to remember how cool we thought drag and drop was when it first came out, don't think much of it. As with a lot of software, each programmer has a very limited view of how it their program should be used vs how it is actually used in the wild.
    People work in different ways. When I schedule an appointment with a client, this is often preceded by a series of emails related to whatever the client wants to discuss. I drag and drop those messages into the appointment window so that on the date of the appointment, I have a nice neat summary of the issues right there in the appointment window. I could use workarounds (save email and then attach to the appointment), but that's like a trip back to Windows 3.0 and it's, if I'm not mistaken, 30+ years later. I guess I'll continue to use Tbird for email and outlook for calendar, not my preferred solution, I'd like to flip MS the bird and cut all ties to outlook, and was hoping Tbird was the solution. Not yet, and perhaps not ever, based on your thoughts.

  • I just got an iphone 5c and downloaded ringtone maker and made a 30 second 4r ringtone and when I try to drag and drop in the tones folder of itunes nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

    I just got an iphone 5c and downloaded ringtone maker and made a 30 second 4r ringtone and when I try to drag and drop it in the tones folder of itunes nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

    If the file is a correctly formatted AAC file with the .m4r file extension and less than 40 seconds long, then iTunes should put it into the Tones section of the library and move it into the Tones folder inside your media folder.
    I've just checked the current version of iTunes behaves as I've desribed, which it does for me at least.
    You may need to have some tones in your library for the tones tab to display when the device is connected.

  • Can I make layers default to the top when I drag and drop into a new folder?

    Can I make layers default to the top when I drag and drop into a new layer folder instead of the bottom? It annoys me that they always go to the bottom and I inevitably always need them at the top.
    Thanks

    Hi there
    ok so PS CS6 if I grab a layer in Group A (yes layer sets sorry) and drop it into Group B, itll put it under anything thats already in Group B, which annoys me! Is there a way of telling PS to default anything dragged from one group to another to default the newly added layers to the top 

  • When i drag and drop to my ipod it wants to sync everything, but if i make changes to the syncing options and apply it wants to sync it all to make it work. i have 12000 songs and takes two days to sync everything. is there an easier way to drag and drop

    when i drag and drop to my ipod it wants to sync everything, but if i make changes to the syncing options and apply it wants to sync it all to make it work. i have 12000 songs and takes two days to sync everything. is there an easier way to drag and drop just one album without making settings changes?

    The first ever Sync of 12,000 songs to an empty iPod will take a while, but it shouldn't take two days.
    Once all 12,000 songs have been Synced to the iPod, subsequent changes to just one album will result in a very short Sync time. That Sync will include:
    the change to that one album
    play counts on iPod updated into your iTunes Library
    Smart Playlists updated: some complex Smart Playlists are not always updated by the iPod but have to wait for a Sync with the Library.
    housework - in other words, behind the scenes tasks that we don't need to see.
    Those subsequent Syncs do not sync every single song every time.
    So, stick with Syncing. If the first Sync of all your songs is taking too long, try syncing part of the Library (say one or two genres) the first time, a further part the second time and so on. After all, with a Library that large, manually managing the iPod will be a source of torture.

  • Can't make drag and drop aiff file from finder work

    I've tried, many times, to drag and drop an aiff file from the finder into a GB 1.1 document without success: it does not appear in a track previously created in the document, nor will it create a new track for itself. Any suggesstions would be a great help.
