How do you center a custom J Dialog relative to the J Frame that opened it?

Hello everyone,
I have a simple question, but I can't seem to get it working. I have a Dialog and I would like to center it relative to the Frame that opened it. I have found a couple methods:
setLocation(int, int) and setLocationRelativeTo(Component)
However, setLocationRelativeTo doesn't seem to center the dialog box correctly. It is being opened to a spot where I don't like. Do you guys have any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks,
Brian

However, setLocationRelativeTo doesn't seem to center the dialog box correctly. It is being opened to a spot where I don't like.generally indicates you have this order
dialog.setLocationRelativeTo(..)
diaolg.setSize(..);//or pack();to work correctly, the order must be reversed i.e. must have a size PRIOR to setting relativity

  • How do you create a flash in game popup on the same frame?

    How do you create a flash in game popup on the same frame?
    I need to make a popup in flash on the same frame. Basiclly like you reach the frame and randomly (I know how to do random stuff) a popup might appear saying like you got a prize; and I want the stuff in the back to stay the same.
    Please help me!
    Thankx in advance.

    Whatever frame you intend to make this movieclip appear in, you first set it to be invisible using...
    popupName._visible = false; // popupName is whatever instance name you use
    And for whatever random code you use to trigger it to appear you just set the _visible property to be true...
    popupName._visible = true;

    Hi,
    Did you try
    myapp.BrowseClientSiteDocuments.ShowFilterPopup_Tap_execute = function (screen) {
    // NOTE: If using JQuery Mobile 1.3 (or higher) use "popupcreate" rather than "popupbeforeposition"
    $(window).one("popupcreate", function (e) {
    $(e.target).popup({
    positionTo: "window"
    $(window).one("popupbeforeposition", function (e) {

    To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry.  If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

  • How do you add a custom label to dates in contacts.....

    How do you add a custom label to dates in contacts- I have multiple birthdays in contact group and want to change label through customise to add additional birthday- unless another way to add second birthday to contacts and identify each one?????? or way to link contacts with same address phone number etc but id birthdays?????

    You have some contacts with more than one birthday?
    To add a custom label for a date, select Edit for an existing contact. Select Add Field. Select Date. Scroll up with the Info window above the date selection and select Other for the new date selection. Select Add Custom Label and then select this label for the new date field for the contact.
    As far as linking dates with multiple contacts, the answer is no to that.

  • How do you produce both Customs Export & Import documentation in an STO?

    Hello All -
    How do you produce both Customs Export & Import documentation in an STO scenario? For instance, if a company would like to create a STO in SAP to move materials from one plant to another and would like to produce both the Export & Import paperwork in GTS, what documents would be needed in R/3 to make this possible?
    Would the following be needed, or is there some other way?
    - STO
    - Outbound Delivery & F8 Invoice to generate the Customs Shipment in GTS for the Export documentation
    - Inbound Delivery to generate the Customs Declaration in GTS for the Import documentation

    Thanks Sameer -
    Yes, for the Import documentation, I think we will be declaring prior to Goods Receipt, so we will first use the Inbound delivery, and then the GR document later on once the materials have been received. (I believe you and I were talking about some of this in another thread actually.) Thank you for confirming this.
    As for the Note, I have also seen this - but thought that this was to more or less give visibility to the sending plant up-front at STO of what export licenses might be needed. (According to the note, currently they would only be able to check if licenses were needed at the outbound delivery, and not on the PO)
    Per the note: "Given a Stock Transport Purchase Order scenario: Plant A in Germany issues a STO PO against vendor plant US10 in the US. GTS looks at the PO in terms of importing from the US (departure country) coming into Plant A in Germany and performs compliance checks. Meanwhile, exporting plant US10 only has visibility at outbound delivery creation to see if am Export License is needed. Exporting plant US10 may want to know if they need a license to the country of destination, in this case Germany, at STO PO creation."
    However with the proper country-level export/import activation of the legal regulations, I believe that you can still have the STO check export-related licenses even though it is mapped to GTS as IMPORD. I have done some testing on this and it appears to work (you just need to ensure that you are activating the relevant countries for export/import properly in the legal regulation, and you can have both export & import documents check the same legal regulation and deliver the correct license determination). I was just wondering if you had any experience with this that was contrary to what I have found, or if there is something you think I am missing..
    Thanks

  • How do you center text in a JOptionPane?

    How do you center text in a JOptionPane?
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"File(s) Moved Successfully","Finished", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);

    Instead of adding the string "File(s)...", create a
    JPanel. Add your text as a JLabel to this JPanel
    using the appropriate LayoutManager. Now add the
    JPanel in place of "File(s)..." in the
    showMesageDialog call.Or just use a JLabel, set its alignment to center and add the label instead of the string.

  • How do I set a custom time & date format in the top bar?

    Hello guys,
    Very embarassing question, because I've had Apple's for all of my life (starting with the original Apple Macintosh) but I still haven't figured out one thing
    How do I set a custom time & date format in the top bar?
    When I go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats I can set different formats. I have no idea where you will see these, but I know that it's not the top bar where the time and date is being displayed. Because no matter what I enter, the format in the top bar will stay the same. I can only choose things like 24-Hour clock or not, blinking dots and so on in the Time & Date settings from the System Preferences.
    Can anyone here point me in the right direction? I see you can even choose to display the week of the year - I'd love to do that!
    All help appreciated!
    Greetings

    Language & Text system preferences, Formats tab, customize dates.
    There are also many third party menu item utilities that can.  Search Macupdate.com for some.
    One search yielded iClock Pro.  Although I never used it I would think it allows customization.  The link I gave you is to the Macupdate download page for that app.  On that same page is a Similar Software section which has other apps that can do the same thing. 
    One listed is iStat Menus.  The primary use for iStat Menus is not for displaying date/time but it does do that.  And I know it can do what you want because I use iStat Menus to track temperature sensors n my machine and, like you, I want to customize the menu time/date.  So I use it instead of the apple clock.  It does have the customization features I think you are looking for.

  • How do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

    how do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

    What that button does is sync your tabs between your devices. So if you have multiple macs with Mountain Lion and/or devices with iOS 6 (once it comes out this fall) you can pick up where you left off. For example, let's say I have apple.com, nytimes.com, and facebook.com open on my mac, but I need to run. Later, if I need to use another computer in my household, I can just restore the tabs that I was using before on this other mac.
