Events effecting panels in multiple tabs
I'm currently working on an application that has three tabs inside a JTabbedPane. Inside each pane is several panels ( probably a minimum of 5 panels to a pane, for layout resons ). I'm starting to code in the event handling for all of the buttons, and I have a few problems.
One: All of the panels are in seperate class and source files. For example, the west panel for a border layout is in WestPanel.class, and all the panels that are inside WestPanel have their own class files. Should I move all of the panels into one source file and have them as private inner classes to make event handling easier?
Two: How do I setup an event handler so that events in one panel affect objects in another panel? Say, pressing a button in WestPanel affects something in EastPanel? Or would this be fixed by having all the panels setup in one source file?
Three: This is sort of like #2, but this is for the seperate tabbed panes. The first pane is a setup pane. For instance, in the first panel, there is a JSlider to set the time. After the user has finished setting up the rest of the application, they press finish. When they press finish, it creates an object that keeps track of everything ( like the time ). How do I setup an event handler so that when they press finish, it takes all the values, creates the object, then uses the values in that object to set the values in the other panes?
Alrighty, I think that's everything. Any help is VERY much appreciated. Thank ye.
One is personal preference and good judgement. Either way will work,
and we can't really be helpful beyond general advice since we're not
familiar with your codebase. If the functionality of JPanel isn't extended,
they may fare better as inner classes, unless they're very large, etc..
For Two and Three, I suggest looking up the Mediator design pattern.

Safari warning before quitting when multiple tabs are open?
I'm a rather clumsy typist who often uses Apple+Tab to toggle through my open programs. This works great 99% of the time, but that other 1% is rather frustrating considering that the Q key is right next to Tab.
Apple guys, please implement a pop up/drop down warning when attempting to quit Safari when multiple tabs are open (or at least the option to enable or disable it). I use this browser for work and often have many tabs open, so accidentally quitting the browser only impedes on my workday. I know I should be more accurate, but isn't that what part of progress is? The empowerment of laziness? =)
Thanks for your time, and hopefully we see this included in soon-to-come upgrades!
Oh, and if this feature is already available, feel free to show me the way.

I created and modified the Safari Keyboard Shortcut
Quit (⌘+Q) command to (⌘ControlQ) by using System
Preferences...>Keyboard Shortcuts.
;~)
Great suggestion! But, the default Quit (⌘+Q) command is still in effect. I've looked about in trying to deactivate it, but can't seem to find it. How did you get rid of yours?

How do I set Safari to prompt before closing multiple tabs OR reopen all of the closed tabs when when I relaunch the application? The "Reopen all windows from last session" is unselectable.
It would seem if your choose "Show my windows and tabs from last time" '''''and''''',
*when you last closed Firefox, you had no web site open (just a blank tab), that it would open just that blank tab
*when you last closed Firefox, you had one or more tabs/web site open, that would allow you to "Restore Previous Session"
#Have you tried that?
#If so, what is happening in each circumstance when you reopen Firefox?
'''Restore Previous Session'''<br />
Open tabs are automatically saved when closing Firefox beginning in Firefox 4. To open your last session, after Firefox starts, click History > Restore Previous Session. For this to work
#You must be remembering history (Options > Privacy > Remember my browsing history).

Before installing 4.0.1 I could right click on the Firefox icon on my computer's taskbar and hit close window. It would then give me the option to "save tabs and quit" or "close all tabs."
Now it just alerts me that I'll be closing multiple tabs.
It was convenient to be able to close Firefox and open it with all of the tabs in place. There is nothing more irritating than having multiple tabs lost because your computer did an update overnight and restarted. Also it was helpful when you wanted to run a tun-up or cleaner that asked you close out of your browser for optimum result's.
How do I get "save and quit" back?
ThanksFirefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" -
How to a particular panel in a tabbed pane to the front?
Hello
I have a small application that uses a tabbed pane. At some point I want to press a button in one of the panels of the tabbed pane and then another panel in the same tabbed pane to show up, as if I had clicked on that tab to bring it to the front.
Only difference is I don't want to click on the tab to do it but on another button, so I can do some more stuff through the button before I bring the other panel to the front
I thought I could do this by getting focus, but it seems not to be the case. Getting focus does not mean coming to the front as I originally thought.
I hope this is clear. Here is an example that you can compile and run. I want to get jpanel2 to the front by clicking jbutton1 and vice versa.
Any help appreciated.

When I close - it does still tell me that I am about to close multiple tabs... but it no longer gives me the option to save open tabs, NOT bookmark, SAVE open tabs. That way, the next time I open Mozilla, all the open tabs from my previous session would open once again. 'Save Open Tabs' is GONE - it would be very helpful to have it back. I don't use it all the time, but it was much easier to save open tabs when I wasn't able to finish what I was doing instead of having to search through the previous days history to find what I need when I start my next session!!!

Hi,
in my program when I push a button 3 tabs are created. And all these tabs have a table in it. What I want to do is that When I push other button I want to access all these tables and cells. and get the cell values. How can I get the value of one cell in the jtable when I have multiple tabs?
thanks in advance.This is my main window

Multiple tabs in table cell (FM 7)
Hey gang,
I've got a table that requires multiple tab stops in one table cell. They're easy enough to place--I use the Tab Stops segment in Paragraph Designer--but I cannot move back and forth between the tabs. Each tab stop must be numbered. For example, I inserted seven tab stops in the cell. Is there a way to step through the tab stops without leaving the cell?
Thanks in advance!
-terry-I need to add that the above may not work, depending on your platform and FM release.
On FM7.1/Unix, Find randomly fails to find things in tables, and tabs are no exception. The hack above did not work.
On FM9/Win7, Find of \t did navigate between tabs in a table.
The real parent problem here may be: who gets to see the keycode from the [Tab] key? It appears that the OS GUI gets first crack at it, and what's passed to the app may not be an 09h character but some window nav event (that has to be converted back to an \x09 when the intent is to type a tab into the text, but when the focus is in an FM table, FM thinks you want nav).
An FM-specific sub-problem is that FM doesn't support tables within tables (actually, it does, but you have to create a new text frame inside an anchored frame inside the table cell). Tables within tables would eliminate the temptation to tab.
Tabs, of course, have been a CS problem forever, as there was never an agreed industry standard for what they meant (move 8 spaces, or move to next multiple of 8 space from left, or move to next tab stop, and what if none are defined, etc.). In FM, users who use tabs are generally doing so from habit from other word processors, and are grabbing the margin tab tool, rather than defining stops in Paragraph Designer. A later author updates the para format, resetting all overrides, and bye bye tabs.
I usually use borderless tables these days for body text layouts that might historically have been done as tabs.
If I need column-control inside table cells, I'll often use as many columns as needed, and straddle them in the cells that don't use the extra columns). -
How do I call a LabView VI via dll to display its control panel in a tab of my uir in LabWindows
Hi User Community,
I am trying to build a LabWindows Top Level Control Panel to call individual LabView VI's, which have been compiled into a dll.
I have no problem using the CmtScheduleThreadPoolFunction to start a new thread that calls these VI's however, I'm having trouble trying to get the display that comes up in it's own window to display in a tab of my existing UIR.
I've compiled the DLLs to always display the VI Control Panel window when running - and usually it covers the whole screen you can't see the LabWindows window until the VI completes.
Is there a definitive guide to LabWindows Windows/Panels/Tabs? Or does anyone have experience with this? Any help would be appreciated.Hello,
I would suggest reviewing the Programming with Panels and Programming with Tabs CVI Help documents. I think that this can be done with the LoadPanelEx function. Let me know how it goes!
As well, I found some example code to get you started.

Firefox on my laptop will not allow me to open multiple tabs, how can I fix this issue?
I usually use firefox and yesterday was downloading a photoshop program called gimp. all of a sudden after downloading it, firefox stops allowing me to open multiple tabs. I click on file and new tab, but it still will not work.
The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons -
In PSE9 is there a way to enlarge the levels adjustment panel and effects panel for viewing?
In PSE9 is there a way to enlarge the levels adjustment panel for viewing? The histogram is so small.
I know we can use the arrow keys to change the settings for the histogram, but it is just the overall view of it I would like to see bigger.
I think with PSE8 the effects panel could be dragged out of the panel bin and made longer AND wider, but in PSE9 it can only be made longer when dragged outside the panel bin.
And I think the whole panel bin could be dragged wider or narrower.not really apart from changing the resolution, but theres a a couple of things you can do
you can change the "minimum font size" in Safari (and other apps) in the General tab - this will enlarge any fonts to the minimum size you specify if they are under that size
the features in the accessiblilty section of system preferences might be worth a look as well
the pinch zoom feature is also useful
unfortunately there isn't a 1-button setting somewhere that can do this, because apps, documents, web pages, images etc all work independently from each other, they use different font types, different zoom levels, etc. You can't just enlarge them all in sync without content getting jumbled up/distorted. if enlarge an app/page/document and get it looking good, on the next one you would probably need to zoom in at a different level for it to look right -
Firefox 16.0.1 warns on closing multiple tabs but options set not to warn
Firefox just updated itself to version 16.0.1. Now, when attempting to close multiple tabs, I get the "Confirm close" warning even though the "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" option is unchecked.
I tried checking that option, confirming the change, then unchecking that option again & confirming the 2nd change, too. This has made no difference. Firefox is not obeying the option setting.
The problem didn't occur before the update to 16.0.1 but did occur in the first session afterwards & has persisted since.The more I encounter this piece of stupidity, the more annoying it gets. The assumption that '''no''' user knows what he/she is doing is one of the things that made Windows Vista such a disaster. Firefox shouldn't be copying failure. If Mozilla had time to cause this problem in version 16, it has no excuse for waiting until version 18 to undo the damage. It has time to reverse the change '''now'''.
There's a good argument for the warning option to be enabled by default. There's none whatever for making it compulsorily enabled, regardless of the user's wishes.
It is, of course, possible that someone will go into the options dialog, disable the warning option & then close multiple tabs by mistake. In that situation, it's the user's own fault. If it's too much trouble to undo the error, the user can re-enable the warning option & stop it happening again.
If there's unsaved data on one of the pages, that page ought to (& most will) warn the user that closing/leaving the page will lose the data. If there's no warning, it's the fault of the page code -- provided, of course, that the browser raises the relevant event when the tab is about to be closed. If the browser isn't raising that event for some reason (e.g., because the tab with the page isn't the active tab), '''that''' is the problem requiring attention. -
Note: All TAB options under TOOLS/OPTIONS have been checked on
Closing multiple tabs warning may not work correctly when the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" option is selected in the dropdown in the Preferences->General panel.
There may also be conflicts with tab-related extensions. Does the problem still happen if you open Firefox with your extensions turned off (in Safe Mode)? Give it a try, open a few tabs, then close the whole window at once and see if you get the warning.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode
As a workaround, you can also try installing one of the many "give me an extra warning" extensions. To avoid accidental quits, I like this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/meta-q-override/ which pops up a warning if I hit Command-q to quit the application -- so that I have to press Command-q twice to really quit. -
Firefox 21.0 doesn't warn when closing multiple tabs
I have a Mac OS X, version 10.6.8. I'm using Firefox 21.0. I have the box checked to warn me when closing multiple tabs. It does not. Why? Is there anything I can do to make it work correctly? Any information I've been able to find on the internet is for other versions of Firefox and is of no help to me.
PROBLEM: Windows FF 21.0 warns when closing multiple tabs when ONE occurance of FF is open, but NOT when mutlipe windows are open (then it only warns once I'm down to 1 window open).
I would like a warning for ALL windows' multiple tabs. I know this is possible because that has always been the case until approx. the latest update.
Oddly enough, the only thing close I found is a post from 2011 with the exact opposite problem: warning only when multiple windows are open, but not when 1 window is open.)
SUMMARY attempts gleaned and compiled from the various posts (with no effect):
- at General tab, "Show my home page" is selected ("Show my windows and tabs from last time" is NOT selected)
-at Tabs tab, "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" is selected
- at Privacy tab, "Use custom settings for history" is selected along with "Always use private browsing mode" (is selected); however, this has always been my setting, and I've always received warnings in multiple windows until recently
- staring in Safe mode had no effect
- my about:config boolean settings are appropriately set to true/false
- I've tried restarting Firefox multiple times and restarting the computer; I have not re-installed FF nor restarted from fresh, wiping out all settings because I have so many customizations.
Any other thoughts of what I might try? -
The properties in my effects panel have all disappeared. I can still click the effects tab under "window" or right-click an object and select "apply effect" but when the panel comes-up it's all blank. How do I restore?
Thanks!Hello,
First time I hear this question: try to clear the cache and start a new project. I suppose you already tried changing the workspace?
Second possibility: try to delete the Preferences folder. It is labeled Captivate 5 and in Win7 it is in this path:
\Users\<your id>\Appdata\Local\Adobe
Beware: to be deleted while CP is closed, when reopening you'll have lost all customisation. When restarting CP a fresh folder will be created.
Is your version the latest one: 5.0.2.630 ?
