Help in Layout

Hi,
I am working on the development of online exam Application.
I need "Question No" ,"Question Description", "Mark for Review" fields in a row in the layout.
Using panelformLayout ,the items appear one under the other.Could you please suggest me how to create this
Thanks,
Viswanath

Hi Timo/Shay,
I already marked the thread as correct answer. The fear of layout is gone using panelGridLayout. But i have one doubt with this layout.
Say there are three rows in a table. And the rows has the below width.
Row1 25% 25% 25% 25%
Row2 25% 25% 25% 25%
Row3 50% 25% 25%
Though the row1's first columns percentage is 25%, it is taking 50%(Row3's width).
I understand that the row's column is always taking the biggest row's width. Could you please explain why are the rows dependent on other rows.
Thanks,
Viswanath

How to use search help in layout of se51

how to use search help in layout of se51.

Hi,
One of the important features of screens is that they can provide users with lists of possible entries for a field. There are three techniques that you can use to create and display input help:
Definition in the ABAP Dictionary
In the ABAP Dictionary, you can link search helps to fields. When you create screen fields with reference to ABAP Dictionary fields, the corresponding search helps are then automatically available. If a field has no search help, the ABAP Dictionary still offers the contents of a check table, the fixed values of the underlying domain, or static calendar or clock help.
Definition on a screen
You can use the input checks of the screen flow logic, or link search helps from the ABAP Dictionary to individual screen fields.
Definition in dialog modules
You can call ABAP dialog modules in the POV event of the screen flow logic and program your own input help.
These three techniques are listed in order of ascending priority. If you use more than one technique at the same time, the POV module calls override any definition on the screen, which, in turn, overrides the link from the ABAP Dictionary.
However, the order of preference for these techniques should be the order listed above. You should, wherever possible, use a search help from the ABAP Dictionary, and only use dialog modules when there is really no alternative. In particular, you should consider using a search help exit to enhance a search help before writing your own dialog modules.

NEED HELP IN: layout set in favorites

Hello again,
the favorites iView use the Layout Set "LinkListExplorer". In the iview is a link "edit", which open a new iView with the Layout Set "LinkListMaintenance". I have modified the second layout Set and saved it under xxLinkListMaintenance.
Now, I need to know how to put the layout set xxLinkListMaintenance in touch with the first layout set LinkListExplorer.
Please help!
Thanks a lot
Sybille

Hi Sybille,
you always want to change the hard coded things
The way:
1.) Decompile <i>com.sapportals.wcm.rendering.collection.cm.LinkListCollectionRenderer</i> within <i>km.appl.ui.flex.collection_core.jar</i> within <i>...\irj\root\WEB-INF\portal\portalapps\com.sap.km.cm.ui.flex\private\lib</i>
2.) In line 530 (<i>query.add("rndLayoutSet", "LinkListMaintenance");</i>), replace the LayoutSet with the one of your choice.
3.) Create a new portal application with this CollectionRenderer and a bootstrap service.
4.) Define this CollectionRenderer within KM (map a name to the class).
5.) Create a new LayoutSet <i>xxLinkListExplorer</i> copied from <i>LinkListExplorer</i> but with the new CollectionRenderer.
Hope it helps
Detlev
PS:
- If you need assistance, you know the experts
- Better forum would have been KMC

Please help, Pages layout trouble

So I'm doing a newsletter...and I'm about ready to take my computer and pages with it and smash it with a sledgehammer. For some odd reason I cannot get text boxes that I insert to move. They will move on their own and will only have the resize box and It's very infuriating. Secondly, when I print it out, it's not on the full page. It literally doesn't fit an 8 1/2 x 11 page. Why is that???? Lastly, when I try to make the background box (I'm using a layout) to conform to the rest of the page, I get an x and it won't move. Can someone help me please? Because I swear I'm about to go and do this on a PC.

I understand your frustration. We've all been there. But I think both of these problems have easy fixes.
When an inserted object can't be moved, the cause is almost always that it is set to "move with text." This happens when the cursor is active in the text layer when the object is inserted. To avoid this, click outside the layout area to enter the object layer then insert the object. For those objects already inserted, click on an object (you should see faint handles), then go to the wrap inspector (the third icon) & click the button next to "fixed on page." You may want to change the "extra space" to less than the default 12 points. Objects you want in the background have to start out as fixed on page.
For the shrunken printed page, my guess is that you have comments turned on. Go to the View menu & select Hide Comments.

F4 help for layout

hi all,
i have copied the FBL5N(Report - RFITEMAR) to ZReport and added one field, and changed the name of the report to ZReport
wherever the standard program name has been hardcoded.
now the report is working fine for me, whereas while others using the same report, if there are trying to save the layout and check the F4 help they are not able to see the layouts they are created,but i am able to see the layouts i have created.
could anyone please let me know any default settings need to be done or any changes need to be made anywhere else.
thanks in advance.

please check the value passed to the parameter I_SAVE in the funtion module for displaying report in ALV.
Below is the documentation on what values can be passed and their usage
Value range
' ' = display variants cannot be saved
Defined display variants (e.g. delivered display variants) can be selected for presentation independently of this flag.
Changes can not be saved.
'X' = standard save
Display variants can be saved as standard display variants.
User-specific saving is not possible.
'U' = only user-specific saving
The user can only save display variants user-specifically
'A' = standard and user-specific saving
The user can save a display variant user-specifically and
as standard display variant. The user chooses in the display variant
save popup.

Please help ! LAYOUT - PROBLEMS

Hi !
I have a big problem with using the rigth layoutmanager for my GUI.
I have a JScrollPane and want to add several JPanels to it. These Panels should have to same width, but different height. So I used a GridBagLayout and it works good.
GridBagLayout layout = new GridBagLayout();
GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();
c.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
c.insets = new Insets(10,2,5,2);
JPanel inputPanel = new JPanel(layout);
c.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER;
// add several lines to inputPanel
JPanel line;
line = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1,2));
layout.setConstraints(line,c);
inputPanel.add(line);
line = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1,2));
layout.setConstraints(line,c);
inputPanel.add(line);
line = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1,2));
layout.setConstraints(line,c);
inputPanel.add(line);
scroll = new JScrollPane(inputPanel);
But another property should be that the width should be tried on at the current size of the JScollPane. So I used a GridLayout and the width of my JPanel's were good, but of course they all had the same height.
GridLayout layout = new GridLayout(0,1);
JPanel inputPanel = new JPanel(layout);
// add several lines to inputPanel
JPanel line;
line = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1,2));
layout.setConstraints(line,c);
inputPanel.add(line);
line = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1,2));
layout.setConstraints(line,c);
inputPanel.add(line);
line = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1,2));
layout.setConstraints(line,c);
inputPanel.add(line);
scroll = new JScrollPane(inputPanel);
Is there a possibility to have both properties ( different height and conformed width) ?
Thanks very much for help !

hi,
Yes it's possible. keep working with the gridbaglayout.
There are constraints where you can set X and Y behaviour like : every component must have the same width but own height. I don't know the constraint's name because I work with a visual gridbaglayout editor.

HELP TO LAYOUT;POSTCARD AND INVITATION TO BIRTHDAY

Hi everyone I'm in that moment taking a course of Adobe Ilustrator, I just need your help to doing a invitation, postcard and a layout of a birthday, because Im a initial student of Vectorial Design: Creation and Manipulation of the images, this course have 50 hours, and it's necessary your answer to help me briefly.

Kind regards

Hi Jose,
Templates let you create new documents that share common settings and design elements. For example, if you need to design a series of business cards with a similar look and feel, you can create a template with the desired artboard size, view settings (such as guides), and print options. The template can also contain symbols for common design elements (such as logos) and specific sets of color swatches, brushes, and graphic styles.
Illustrator comes with a variety of templates, including templates for letterhead, business cards, envelopes, brochures, labels, certificates, postcards, greeting cards, and websites.
Create a new document from a template
Do one of the following:
Choose File > New From Template.
Choose File > New. In the New Document dialog box, click Templates.
In the Welcome screen, click From Template in the Create New list.
In the New From Template dialog box, locate and select a template, and click New.

Hi nadi - perhaps you might take a look at the border layout.
+----------------------+
|             N        |
+---+-------------+----+
| W |     CENTER | E |
+---+-------------+----+
|            S         |
+----------------------+If the West and East sections are empty, the center, north, and south will have identical widths, and each will assume the height of the widgets it contains.
Hope this helps!

[HELP] Phone-layout of 640px, doesnt SCALE correct on any phone device.

Hello.
When you enter my websites phonelayout from any phone, it does not rescale the viewport correctly.
The layout is: 640px width, but even on an ios device with a greater width than 640px, it doesnt scale it correctly, it always ends up zoomed in at around 200px in the top corner.
www.fiskeklaus.dk/phone/index.html
HOW can I make it fit the width to whatever device opens it?
Please help this is very urgent.

I found a fix - not a pretty one - nor suppoted.
Make a max width of the minimum width of a phone, lets say 280px, then build everything up with text frames with 100% width, and copy/paste all your "items" into the text frames, and center it, like was it text.
It creates a "fluid" layout, where it will always center the content, no matter if its a 280px, 400px, or 2000px - and the text will also be fluid, unless you seperate it manually.
it WORKS, but it could be so easy to implement in a slight better way...
Adobe muse is NEARLY there... just need to add open information on how to create widgets your self and ofcourse add the responsive layout
Hope this helps you.
P.s yes indeed thoose empty boxes or state buttons hiding somewhere random on your canvas, borks up everything, I had one in another page, that was located 3000px to the right for some reason, took me ages to find it lol.

When asking about layout (or any question about how a site works or looks), give us a link to the site. Read the Forum FAQ about it and the reasons why.
I will say that a quick look indicates that you have gone overboard with Divs--66 of them (!). And most serve no purpose. The point of a Div is to hold a bunch of stuff to make it easy to control them. Divs with only one item in them make no sense. And divs
that are always paired should be combined into one div (if they are even necessary at all).
Why isn't this one div? These 3 always appear exactly like this:
<div class="category">
     <div class="categoryheader">
       <h3>Services</h3>
     </div>
     <div class="categorycontent">
A horse walks into a bar. The bartender asks "Why the long face?"
"Because I was born into servitude and when I die my hooves will be used to make glue."
It was at this point that the bartender realized he would not be getting a tip.

New to Indesign and need help on layout

Hi there
I have a small invitaiton business and have recently started using Indesign (steep learning curve). I have designed a wedding suite for a bride and it is ready to go off to the printers. My problem is i have recently changed printers and these guys print on size SRA3 and charge for set up costs if I dont supply all my setup in this size.
I dont know how to do this! Is there a simple way i can take my one invitation and place it multiple times on a SRA3 setup without copying and pasting. Plus all my crop marks and bleeds need to line up.
ANy help would be really appreciated.
thanks
Nerissa

I really did not want to say more about this but your attitude is ....
Who are you that you think you know every printers setup and requirements, who are you to say that a person must not go to there prefered printer for work.
What the hell does a car got to do with printing, NOTHING. Keep on topic!
You say modern workflow, so your saying every print shop in every town in every country has exactly the same equipment as your printer has and whats needed to handle your unprofessional approach to laying out graphics, wake up will ya every print house in every town can be different your arrogance in assuming every print house can reproduce your improperly prepared graphics is just going to cause trouble.
Refering back to the original post. I did not see the name of the printer they where sending the job to, do you know them personally to insist that your way is the best way to reproduce the job. NO!
You do not know them yet you jumped on my suggestion and it was only a suggestion that could lead to an idea for getting the job done. You called it BS yet every working day at my work I follow that sort of work flow for a number of reason. No it is not modern Yes it does work everyday.
You thinking that your way is the only way is no help to anyone in here.
This forum is for everyone, if I take the time to suggest something so be it, it is not your job to judge if my suggestion is wrong.
Be a help not a hinderance and keep your arrogance outta the forum.
P Taz:
Bob's main problem is this modern workflow chip on his shoulder, not everyone has the latest and greatest hardware and software. Adobe is printing longer then I care to think back on, and they have many different ways of doing this job and many of these are still in use. Modern is all fine and dandy if you have it.
I am not happy with using obsolete processes but that is what I have to work with. I absorb a lot that is said in these forums not all I can use yet but its good to see the changes in technology. Everyone as a designer has to keep in mind the Printshop that is printing there work
I never came in here with the intention to revert people, I only suggested a way to get a job done even you do not know what equipment the printer has to reproduce the OP problem. How in gods name can a suggestion be wrong for this forum even you have fallen for bob's inability to realise there are still people out in the real world not using the most modern workflow equipment and these people need help.
It is no good you just saying update update update. The job needs doing with what they have, later when money permits or whatever then talk to them about modern workflows.
And lastly goes out my appology to the original poster, I am very sorry this has gone as far as it has.
Bob... Lighten up!

Dreamweaver help in Layout design

Hi,
I've been using dreamweaver for the past week and made some major headway for a personal project but i have been having some issues with actually setting up a home page with an actually graphic design layout or look to it if you will. so far the examples I'm running off of are tumblr.com's homepage and twitter.com's homepage. My trouble comes when i try to set and image for the page background when i go and pick on the modify tab that brings down the option page properties and i can add in a picture for the background of the website. the picture always seems out of focus or to pixilated, most of the pictures i use are around 1600 pixels 1200 pixels. The other problem ive been having was trying to create a header that is seperated from the body and footer by width, similiar to the way twitter has its homepage set up. if possible i would love for some pointers.

Help with layout managers

I can't seem to understand layouts. Or maybe it's text components. Anyway, this little JFrame class seems to act really strangely, and I cannot figure out why.
Can anybody tell me how to get pack() to do something sensible with the components in the main JFrame (the one with the statistics is just for reference.)
The rest of this message is Java code (plus maybe a signature)

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;

Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
Use the "code" tags when posting code, so the code retains its original formatting.
panel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200, 30));Remove the above line. If you set the preferred size of the panel, then it doesn't care about the preferred size of its contained components.

Help with layout of photo thumbnails

Is there anyway to change the layout of the thumbnails on photo pages created in iWeb? I know how to change the distance between photos, how many rows, etc., but is there a way to change the display? Perhaps a larger photo with tiny thumbnails beside that? I don't like how all the thumbnails are displayed on the page, and then you have to hit "play slideshow" to view them. Many thanks in advance.

The only way that I know of to increase the size of the thumbnails is to reduce the number of columns and the spacing between them. The largest thumbnail is obtained by 1 column. If you double click on a thumbnail you will bring up a larger version of the photo with a thumbnail tray of the others on the top llike in this example. You don't have to enter the slideshow mode.
There are other methods of presenting photos. These demo pages have examples of them:
SimpleViewer and Flash Album Exporter
Flash Album Exporter Postcard and AutoViewer Slideshow Themes
Custom iPhoto Album
