GridBagLayout always starts in center

Hi,
I'm programming a Application here which is a JFrame, that has a JTabbedPane "inside". All tabs add classes that are extenden from JPanel. Those classes using GridBagLayout.
My Problem is, that all Components inside the JPanel are starting in the absolute Center of the Tab.
The JFrame uses BorderLayout and the from JPanel extended classes using the GridBagLayout.
What is wrong?
Thank you very much for all your help :)

Yes, GridBagLayout stinks in a lot of ways.
But, what you want to do is to wrap the panel
(govered by the GridBagLayout) inside another
panel which is goverened by a BoxLayout.
Lock the outer panel to its preferred size
(which will be its content's preferred size.
THEN, you can place the outer panel
(the one governed by the BoxLayout) into the
frame using desired alignments (top, left, etc.)
You see, the problem you are having is that
panels governed by GridBagLayout always will
expand to fill the size of their containers,
even if you try and lock them to their preferred
sizes. BoxLayout, on the other hand, will
respect the size you set it to., and will not
expand to fill its container. This allows
you to then do things like align it and it will
obey.
You'll need to use the methods get/setSize(),
get/setMaximumSize(), get/setMinimumSize(),
and getPreferredSize(). May need to call all
of the set methods. I've had most luck with
specifying all of them.

Satellite L500-1ek - setup system always starts with 800x600

I have new Satellite L500-1ek notebook with Windows 7.
Whatever screen resolution I setup system always starts with 800x600. And not only after restart but even when I logout my profile and login again.
More: I use also external monitor. I can have mirror of my laptop screen on the monitor or only display on monitor but whatever I do I cannot have extended screen.
When I try to set it up I'm simply ignored by driver.
So I tried to install newest driver. I downloaded it from Toshiba site but it never installed saying me that my system did not meet minimum requirements.
What to do now?
Marek

Hi Marek,
> I downloaded it from Toshiba site but it never installed saying me that my system did not meet minimum requirements.
As far as I know your notebook is equipped with Intel graphic card and so you are installing the latest display driver from Toshiba website. Is this right?
Well, I have to say that I had the same issue on my Satellite U400 that is also equipped with Intel graphic card. The solution for this problem was pretty easy: I installed the driver via device manager. There select the graphic card, make a right click on it and select Update Driver. In next windows choose the advanced installation where you can choose the driver directory yourself. After the installation make a restart and thats all! :)

System Preferences always starts when logging in....

I'm doing some general maintenace on my parent's computer (macmini ppc 10.4.8). There seems to be a handfull of odd issues happening. One of them is that System Prefs always starts when logging in after a reboot. The login items for the user account has nothing checked on, and it's only his user account that has this issue.
Does anyone have any ideas?
thanks

I'm a complete douche. I looked in Login Items for the 10th time and this time my brain kicked in and saw "System Preferences". I feel so stupid. I looked in there multiple times and must have thought... well, I don't know what I thought. The sad thing is I've been working with unix for several years. I think it's time for a new career.
Thanks!

DVD always starts from the last point

No matter what change I make in the project, the DVD always starts at the last point I stoped! And I need it to start at the main Menu every time.
I've already read many of the topics with similar problem, and tried so many suggestions... none worked for me! Maybe I'm doing something wrong!
I'm using iDVD 7.0.4, Revolution theme.
The first top left auto-start box is empty. Then comes the Main Menu. From it comes 3 other boxes with chapters, all of them with Slide shows (built directly on iDVD) and a few 90 seconds movies (on iMovie, then Exported - not shared with iDVD)
I already tried to delete: com.apple.iDVD.plist and burn the DVD again. I've burned almost 10 already, with different settings!
Please, if anyone can help me, I would appreciate!

All you need do within apple's dvd player app is to select menu and it will remember that spot next time the dvd is inserted into your mac. Or at least it should. If not, then there's something else going on.
A third party set top dvd player (in most cases) will also take you directly to the first menu of the dvd. Unless you simply hit "stop" in which case you should be prompted to resume playback at the last point played. Or again, you can select Menu from the remote to bring the dvd to the root menu page. Your choice.

Playlist always starts at the begiing after turning on iPod.

I originally posted this in the iPod classic section but thought U might get an answer here too:
So I've had a 5.5 Pod loaded with many playlists for a year or so. I Just got my 160GB Classic, has about 100GB of music loaded now and the latest iTunes with new interface. I have several huge playlists that I play in my studio all day. So now when I stop the Pod and start again later or the next day (yes the iPod is off for a long time) , that play list always starts from the beginining and not from where I had left off.
My old pod and the last iTunes would always start again where I had left off. Fo instance I always have shuffle turned on and if I had gone through 303 songs, the next time I turn on and start the ipod and same playlist, the 303rd song would begin-right where I left off the day before. Now it starts at the beginning, track 1 of xxxx many songs every time rather than where I was when I turned it off. What's up with this? A glitch???

If you press Pause and power off, or play sonething else and go back, the selected playlist will start from the beginning.
It has always been this way.
If you press Pause and let it go to sleep itself, then press Play, it should start from where it left off.
If the iPod goes into deep sleep, the playlist will start from the beginning.

Ipod always starts at the beginning.

it used to work fine, started back at the song I shut it down with, and now it doesn't. it goes right back to the very first song again, making me have to forward through all the songs to get where i was. also starts all play lists in backward order. reset it to factory settings. No good. anyone help? thanks

You might try pausing the shuffle before shutting it off. This is the way I do mine and it always starts up where I left off even if it is in the middle of a song. Remember that when you turn it back on that you have to hit the play button twice. Hope this helps.

Skype always starts as first time setup

Hello Skype Community,
Quite recently my skype started behaving wierd. Everytime I boot my PC skype starts (as usual). Normally it logs in automaticly, because the auto sign in option is selected however it did not.
When I logged in it looked exactly like the time when I started skype for the first time (setting up a mic, webcam and profile picture etc.). And it seems to do it EVERY time I log in to skype (and everytime my PC boots).
I assume its something with my antivirus, because the problem occured when I changed it (I moved from avast free version to Malwarebyte premium version).
Is there a way to solve it?
Thanks in advance!
Hidde

The behaviour in the latest Skype 7.8 version has now changed. Skype does no longer remember the last connection status. When restarted manually, it will always start with Online status, regardless what status was set when Skype was closed last time. http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-forgets-last-online-status-when-signing-in/m-p/4085542#M363164 I have not yet tested how Skype behaves when set to start when Windows starts, but also the Away status might be the new "feature" of the latest Skype 7.8 version.

How to change travel time, in calendar, from always starting from work to starting from home., how to change travel time, in calendar, from always starting from work to starting from home.

it always starts my travel times from work. even though i am not at work. how can i change the start destination?

sberman Southern California
This solved my questionRe: Calendar Travel Time Starting from Work when I want to Start from Home Oct 23, 2013 8:43 PM (in response to theglenlivet12)
From Calendar's help:
To set your starting location, Calendar first looks for your location in any events that are up to three hours before this event. If Calendar doesn’t find a location, it uses your work address during work hours and your home address during other hours. (Your work hours are set in Calendar preferences using the “Day starts at” and “Day ends at” menus.) If your card in Contacts doesn’t have your addresses, Calendar uses your computer’s current location.

Poject doesn't always start on slide #1?

I have created a project using Captivate 4. I published as a swf file. When I open the swf file the first time, it starts at the beginning on the 1st slide. If I then close the swf file in the middle of another screen and then re-open it, it starts again on the screen where I closed it. Is there a preference or something I can set so it always starts on the 1st screen, at the beginning?
TIA,
Adriana

Hi Adriana. I think what you are seeing is the Self Paced Learning feature of the Table of Contents. Open up your TOC (Project >> Table of Contents), then be sure you're on the TOC tab, then click the Settings button. See if the Self Paced Learning check box is selected. Un-check it if it is.
Hope this help.

Grouping by Date Field Weekly Always starts on a Sunday, Can I change this

Post Author: mikazza
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I have a report which groups sales by the date they were made dailly, it also has another group which sits above this and groups these same sales by week so I can get a weekly sales figure aswell. All this works ok but the weekly bit always starts on a Sunday, is there any way to change this to start on a Monday instead?
Many thanks in advance
Michael

It's okay,
Found the answer....
I created a group on a formula: datepart("ww",{TRANSACTION.TRANSACTION_DATE},crMonday)
and when creating this group I clicked customise group name field and entered this formula:
totext({TRANSACTION.TRANSACTION_DATE}-dayofweek({TRANSACTION.TRANSACTION_DATE},crMonday)+1, "dd/MM/yyyy")
This basically sets the start date of the week to Monday, change crMonday to whatever day you want to start from then.

How to always start up in disk select mode?

How do I do that? Sometimes when I need to start my bootcamp partition to make some changes to Windows, and I just forgot to hold the Option key, I'll just have to wait for it to boot up in Mac OS, and then restart again. How do I just make the computer always start up in disk select mode, so I don't have to hold the Option key?

the only way to do that is by using rEFIt

[SOLVED] XFCE always starting with the US keyboard

Hi guys.
Recently I came back to XFCE and I have one problem: it always starts with the keymap set to US. I have to manually change it to PL (which I need) with setxkbmap. Also, when I'm using the panel plugin I cannot choose any keymaps other than the currently selected.
What can I do about it?
Last edited by JeremyTheWicked (2008-10-12 21:49:56)

The way I deal with the multimedia keys is that
1) figure out what keycodes they generate (run 'xev' and do some presses)
2) assign the correct name to them via xmodmap
maybe 3) use xbindkeys to let them do what they should do (but this is probably not necessary, DEs like xfce should be able to act just based on having a correct name assigned to the keypresses)
the xmodmap stuff:
~/.xmodmaprc wrote:keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext
keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop
and then have 'xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc' executed at X start (again, some DEs do this automatically, some don't)
But! maybe figuring out the correct option for your keyboard might render all of the above steps unnecessary. I don't know a good place to look for the options, except closely inspecting the contents of /usr/share/X11/xkb - there's a lot of stuff, but that's for instance where I found out the possible variants for the us keyboard.

Tetris always starts with the same blocks

Has anyone else noticed that the first game in Tetris after launching it always starts with the same blocks? For me, it always gives me the red "Z" block, the yellow square, the green "Z", orange "L", purple "T", blue straight block, blue "L", and so on. Every time. Without fail. And although my second game starts with something different, all second games always start with the same sequence too (purple "T", orange "L", yellow square, green "Z", red "Z", and so on).
Seems to me like whoever wrote the random number generator used by Tetris did a very poor job. Hopefully EA creates a version 1.1 to fix this, and Apple makes the update available for free to people who already bought Tetris. I find it hard to believe that something so obvious made it past QC.
PowerMac G5 Dual 1.8 Mac OS X (10.4.5) 5G iPod 60GB

Definitely agree about the need for a 1.1 update. The random generator and also the fact that, on my iPod at least, if I am listening to music and playing at the same time, whenever there is a change in tracks, the game locks up for a few seconds and I can't see the piece and it ends up dropping some place unexpected. This desparately needs to be fixed as many a 12th level game has been ruined because of this.
