Dynamically resizing a textarea
I have some textareas on a form that need to be a fixed
width. The database field is varchar(100) but the form field must
remain only 40 characters wide. The on-line version is no problem
because the field will be scrollable. But, you can't "scroll" the
printed version.
What can I do to allow the client to see the entire text of
the field on the printed version without affecting the width of the
field?
I could provide a separate "printer friendly version" where I
change the field from a textarea to a simple "text" field (like a
paragraph or something). But, I want to avoid creating a separate
file and, hopefully, be able to use CSS to present all the data in
the field.
Thanks in advance

Why don't you display the data in a <p> tag?
You could set the textbox "rows" to anything you want.

Dynamically resizing DefaultMutableTreeNode
Does anyone know how to resize a DefaultMutableTreeNode after it's been created and initially sized? I have a tree that can be resized, but if I dynamically resize it so that some nodes are wider than the tree, I'd like the last few visible characters within the nodes to be replaced by three dots "..." instead of just clipping the text. The JTable does this when you resize a column.
Thanks,

How do I stop iPhone Safari from dynamically resizing the visual viewport?
Sorry I post this here, but I couldn't access the developer forums (no error given, it just keeps returning me to this page https://developer.apple.com/devforums/) I'm not even sure wether that's been moved here and it's just the redirection non working.
I need to Stop iPhone Safari from dynamically resizing the visual viewport, or in other words, to stop it from trying to "fit" the layout into the viewport.
Why?
Because any recalculation javascript does on absolutely positioned elements makes the whole site super IRRESPONSIVE.
I don't know wether the issue is the element going out the already-set layout viewport (which triggers the page resizing to fit the visual viewport) or just the calculations being made constantly, but I can stop the calculations from happening when not "touching" the screen, but I need a way to stop the page resizing.
I tried setting the viewport width to 1040px, as my layout width, and it fixed the header's width being narrower than the body (or shifted left?), but the whole page is still resized with every motion-frame (one every 3 seconds, due to overloading the redrawing engine)
Is there a way to prevent that?No, that link doesn't solve it. It just says the same is found everywhere online.
There's probably no way to do it, as per their way they "accidentally" omitted the oposite case: the page being wider than 980. They only mention what to do if the site is narrower. Something I learned is big companies (with reputation management) could let you run in circles for years no answer rather than telling you something is not possible.
I'm the developer (can't access the dev forums, don't know why) and I DID setup the viewport, scale and other properties but none of them stopped from re-fitting the new re-sized layout in the viewport. They just ensure the "initial" view.
I think the feature I'm looking for must be achieved with some JavaScript function targeting Safari-proprietary variable/property… if even possible.
I just had to make things never reaching the edge until somebody contributes something useful -

when i dynamically resizing it to setSize(768,575); it doesn't get change but when i move dialog using mouse it gets refreshed.
this problem is only happening on solaris not on windows.Hi,
It's only an approach but try a call of validate() or repaint() after re-setting the size of your dialog.

How to dynamically resize taskflow popup set as inlineDocument.
I've been trying to figure out how to dynamically set the WindowHeight and WindowWidth of a taskflow deployed as a inlineDocument popup. Sadly, neither the forums nor google came to the rescue so I had to actually figure this one out on my own. But at least now is my opportunity to work up some forum karma! :)
Sample workspace containing the solution is here: http://www.williverstravels.com/JDev/Forums/Threads/2337969/MaxPopupSize.zip
General Strategy for Solution:
- Pull the browser height and width using Javascript
function browserSize(evt)
var button = evt.getSource();
var agent = AdfAgent.AGENT;
var windowWidth = agent.getWindowWidth();
var windowHeight = agent.getWindowHeight();
AdfCustomEvent.queue(button, "customEvent",
width: windowWidth,
height: windowHeight
true);
evt.cancel();
}- Using a clientListener and serverListener, pull this information into a managed bean and set height / width in button's setWindowWidth(), setWindowHeight() attribute.
public void onButtonClick(ClientEvent clientEvent)
Double dw = (Double)clientEvent.getParameters().get("width")-100;
Double dh = (Double)clientEvent.getParameters().get("height")-100;
this.popupButton.setWindowWidth(dw.intValue());
this.popupButton.setWindowHeight(dh.intValue());
ActionEvent aE = new ActionEvent(this.getPopupButton());
aE.queue();
}- Due to JSF Lifecycle complications, the managed bean will need to call a different button than the one which holds the client and server listener. It will be the second button (popupButton in the code above) which then calls the popup.
Props to Frank for the client / server listener tutorial: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/56-handle-doubleclick-in-table-170924.pdf
Props to Martin Deh for the javascript insights: http://martindeh.blogspot.com/2011/03/dynamic-resizing-for-popup-dialogs.html
Hope this helps someone down the road.

Your question helped me a lot... I am able to pass these two parameters width/height to my bean and am able to set it to pop-up :) -
Can you dynamically resize a graphic
In AW 7, can you dynamically resize a graphic (jpg, or

Not as such. You can:
- have multiple copies of the same image and flip between
them (there's
a Show Me on it)
- use Flash
- use alPicView

Hi All,
I am using JDev 11.1.2.4.0 and bounded taskflows.
In my fragment I have a popup with panel Window. I want to set the content width & height of this as per the browser
I followed the steps as per this http://www.ateam-oracle.com/dynamic-resizing-for-popup-dialogs/
My popup code is as below
<af:popup id="pdfPopup" autoCancel="disabled" partialTriggers="cb1"
popupCanceledListener="#{rLBean.closeDetachPopup}"
contentDelivery="lazyUncached">
<af:panelWindow id="pdfWindow" title="Label Design" modal="true"
stretchChildren="first">
<af:panelStretchLayout id="psl7" startWidth="0px" endWidth="0px"
topHeight="0px" bottomHeight="0px">
<f:facet name="bottom"/>
<f:facet name="center">
<af:inlineFrame id="if2"
source="/pdfservlet?#{bindings.LId.inputValue}*#{bindings.LVn.inputValue}"/>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="start"/>
<f:facet name="end"/>
<f:facet name="top"/>
</af:panelStretchLayout>
</af:panelWindow>
</af:popup>
This popup is invoked as below
<af:commandButton text="Maximize" id="cb1" partialSubmit="true"
clientComponent="true"
icon="/images/maximize_detach.png"
shortDesc="Maximize" blocking="true">
<af:clientListener type="action"
method="openPopup('pt1:pdfPopup','pt1:pdfWindow')"/>
</af:commandButton>
Javascript method is as below
function openPopup(popupId, panelWindowId) {
return function (event) {
try {
var agent = AdfAgent.AGENT;
var windowWidth = agent.getWindowWidth();
var windowHeight = agent.getWindowHeight();
//alert('maximize.............');
var region = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId('r1');
//alert(region +' ------------ '+popupId+' --------------- '+panelWindowId);
var popup = region.findComponent(popupId);
//alert(popup);
var panelWindow = popup.findComponent(panelWindowId);
alert(panelWindow);
panelWindow.setContentWidth(Math.max(100, windowWidth - 100));
panelWindow.setContentHeight(Math.max(100, windowHeight - 100));
if (popup != null)
popup.show();
else
popup.hide();
catch (err) {
alert(err);
When alert is there, I am getting the ID of panel window and everything works fine.
But if I comment the alerts, its returning null. I dont know whats going wrong.
Kindly HelpIssue is, with the above code, I am not able to get the panel window ID.
As you'll can see in the javascript code, I have commented the alerts. Magically, if i uncomment one of the alerts, its able to find the ID.
Yes..!! I have tried this code by setting the clientComponent=true for the pop-up as well as panelWindow. But it didn't help.....

How to dynamically resize virtualbox console (Arch within Arch setup)
My host is Arch, and my guest is Arch. The guest running console without X. I got 1024x728 resolution by adding vga=772 in guest's menu.1st file. Is there a way to dynamically resize the guest's console dimensions by dragging virtualbox's window corner, as you can with a windows guest OS?
Dynamic resizing only works from within X, it doesn't work when in console mode, as it requires the Guest Additions installed. It might of course work in the future if Virtualbox includes a framebuffer driver with guest additions, but somehow I very much doubt they will

Dynamic resize of FAT32 partition with disk utility?
Hi there.
I have a 1TB external FAT32 drive with 300GB of data on it.
I want to convert it to HFS+, but I know there's no easy way to do that.
What I want to know is can I resize my FAT32 partition to 500MB and keep all the data?
Then I'll move it to the new HFS+ 500MB partition, delete the original partition and resize the HFS+ partition.
Or do I have no hope of that?
Thanks
GregGreg,
You're probably out of luck on this one. If the drive was partitioned and formatted by a PC (every drive has a partition map, whether there are multiple partitions or only one), it almost certainly has an "MBR" partition map. This would preclude a dynamic resizing by Disk Utility. It will need to be partitioned using either GUID (Intel) or APM (PPC).

I have code that changes the cursor indicating user can drag
to resize VBoxes vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, but I'm
not sure how to proceed to dynamically resize the VBoxes.
If the user has the vertical resizing cursor displayed (by
clicking the top border of the lower VBox) and drags, the VBox
above the border and below the border should both resize.
Any ideas for how to proceed with this?
Code is attached, and all you need are three images 16x16
px."Greg Lafrance" <[email protected]> wrote in

jqChris:
The export method you used creates a 640 x 480 QT file. If you use the Share->Send to iDVD menu option that will create a 720 x 540 QT file, save it in the Movies folder and automatically put it in iDVD. That should produce a higher image quality final product. If you have an iDVD project already started open it before starting the Share procedure so it will be the selected destination. In any case the larger QT movie will be saved to your Movies folder so you can include it manually is desired.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Moving object to back after dynamic resize
I am running Crystal Reports 2008 on a Business Objects 3.1 environment.
I have a textbox in a report that grows (width) depending on the number of records shown. The report is a cross tab, and I change the width change is to display a u201CSilveru201D box behind certain fields (to break up the report).
I recieved help from Vinay to get the fields to expand correctly (Thank you), but now it appears the dynamic resizing is the final step taken befroe publiushing the report. I need the silver text field to go to the back of the report, allowing information in the cross tab itself to appear on top.
Is there a cr command (code) that sends the field to the back of the report?

Dynamic linking within TextArea component
how can i include an MC or button inline within the HTML text
of a TextArea component -- and also have that object link to an AS
function? i want to have icons within the text of my TextArea that
open pop-up windows within the Flash application (MC linkage).
is this possible?
is asfunction used? if so how?Well if you are still interested in using a text component
instead of a Button the way you would go about this is using
textWidth. Here's how I've done it before using a text / label
whatever you want that shows text.
// => Set our text we got from database
myText.text = "This is the text I got from the DB";
// => Validate it so that way we make sure we get right
numbers
myText.validateNow();
// => Find out how wide our text really is.
var textWidth:Number = myText.textWidth
// => Reset the width of our text component and add 20 for
a little buffer
myText.width = textWidth + 20;
Now my suggestion is if your going to be dynamically creating
these on the fly from a database call you throw it into a method /
class and have that do all the work for you so all you have to do
is pass the text to it and it resizes itself based on the example
above.
