How to bring JFrame to front?

Hi everybody,
I have a JFrame which contains a button that opens another JFrame. This second JFrame is actually already created, clicking the button will just make it visible. Does anybody know how I can move this second JFrame to the front? I tried frame.toFront(), but that didn't work.
Best regards,
Jethro Borsje

Read about toFront in the API
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/awt/Windo
w.html#toFront
Some platforms may not permit this VM to place its
Windows above windows of native applications, or
Windows of other VMs.
On Windows OS for example toFront causes the icon on
the Task Bar to flicker, but the window stays in the
back.
The only think that will force the window to front is
setAlwaysOnTop.
frame.setAlwaysOnTop(true);
frame.setAlwaysOnTop(false);
Thank you very much, that did the trick!

How to bring a VI front panel to the front (of all open windows) when the parent VI calls a sub-VI in Test Stand.

In Test Stand when I call a sub-VI front panel, the pop-up window goes behind all the windows and the user just waits for the screen. I want the pop-up to come to the front so that the user can know what to do. I couldn't find any property that I can set which would make the called VI go to the front.

What version of TestStand are you using? Here are the TestStand palettes in LabVIEW for TestStand 2.0 and 3.1. You can also set a VI to be modal in VI Properties>Window Appearance. Select Dialog or go to Cutomize and change the Window Behavior.

How to bring to front created message dialog?

Hello,
I don't know if this is correct way to open popup window in JSF, but I do it like that:
if (!((String)passwordField.getText()).equals(
(String)confirmPasswordField.getText())) {
javax.swing.JOptionPane infoDialog = new javax.swing.JOptionPane();
infoDialog.grabFocus();
infoDialog.showMessageDialog(new javax.swing.JFrame(),
"Password and Confirm Password fields must be equal",
"Information", javax.swing.JOptionPane.OK_OPTION);
return null;
Window is opening, but is covered under other windows, how to bring it to front?

you mean I have to write a code in paintComponent()
for painting the other one first, I write a seperate
method to implement this functionNo, I mean just that. It's like drawing on a piece of paper. Paint one thing first, and the one that gets "on top" last. Save all your shapes in an array, paint them sequentially, and reorder the array as needed, if one should move from the background to the foreground.

How do I bring components to front?

Does anybody know, if I have overlapping components like JLabels, how can I choose which one to bring to the front?
In other words, if I have two overlapping JLabels, how can I choose which one gets seen.

I don't know if you can do this programmatically with one call (like the WinAPI setWindowPos and specify the z order and appropriate flag).
Swing components are displayed in the order they are added to the container, with the first component being the top most.

[AIR] May I catch "bring window to front" event?

Hi,
I wonder who is responsible for bringing windows to front when user click on that window (application contains more Windows components inside). Is it operating system or AIR runtime? Or perhaps AIR runtime send event to operating system which does it? In this case there would be some chance to catch and stop propagation of that event not to let operating system bring that window to front. Am I right? Any idea how to do it?

This thread explains my experiences with the toFront() method on Windows 98. It works, but only if the frame has been hidden for about 20 seconds.

Bring text to front of image

how do i bring text to front of image using dream
weaver?

You would set the image as a background image- that would be
a possible
option. Please remember that the text will not stay static
and will shift
when a viewer resizes the text.
You cannot lose until you give up !!!

Bring messagepopup to front

Hi
My test flow goes like this :
1. Show a message prompt to the user to connect the test setup.
2.Open the exe in minimized mode and then open subwindows in that (Like opening internet explorer and then opening submenu like Tools--> Internet Options)
3. Actually exe is shown as active once it is opened. So used "MakeApplicationActive" to bring CVI application to front.
But when a message prompt like confirmpopup has to be shown to user after this step,the popup is hidden behind the CVI panel.
Can anyone suggest me how to bring that message popup to front so that user knows that popup is shown?
Thanks,
MSP

MSP:
There are a couple of other things you can try.
You could use a timer to force your window to be the foreground window using the Win32 API (or Windows SDK) SetForegroundWindow() function. See my message and example here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabWindows-CVI/Make-panel-modal-from-a-CVI-dll/m-p/1316925#M50035
If you need just a simple dialog box, you can use the Windows SDK/Win32 API MessageBox function to create a real system modal dialog box. See my old example here. http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabWindows-CVI/MessagePopup-dissappears-behind-active-panel/m-p/182045#M1409...

How to bring the browser window from background/minimized to on top of all windows in Flex

Hi I have the requireemnt where based on some condition I am opening a JSP in a new window by calling
navigateToURL(myFormData, _MYWINDOW);
Calling this will open a new browser window. My requirement is when the new window if minimized or behind other windows, how can I bring this window(MYWINDOW) infront of all the windows using JavaScript in Flex.
In which file under html-template do I have to write my JavaScript function.
Any help on how to call JS from Flex and handling in JS is very much appreciated.
Someone please share with me if there is any sample code. Thanks in advance

hi
to communicate with javascript, use ExternalInterface (see http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/external/External Interface.html for an example)
you can add your JS directly to the index.template file or create a separate JS file and add the link
not sure what JS you would use to bring window to front but i am guessing there is something...

B520 - how to bring down the monitor contrast?

Brightness control in the front panel are not enough.
the backlight is too much for me to handle
Does anyone know how to bring down the contrast even more?
thank you.

I'll clear this up a little...
NVIDIA Controls does not have any control over the lamp / backlight on the screen. You can turn down
the gamma / brightness / contrast, and you may think you see it darker.
YEEEEEEES. it's dark but the intensity of the backlight is still there. You can feel it from miles away.
I chose Lenovo over ASUS just because of the GT555 option, and it was the worst mistake ever.
Asus Et2700 series do have Contrast/Brightness controls for the screen in Values from 0-100.
You can turn the screen completely dark if you want. Asus have never let me down, but thanks to my greed
always wanting more, thought i would never feel complete unless i had the gt555.
This is what happens when you fall for the marketing agenda.
Fortunately, i sold it already. And this would be the last time i'll purchase something from lenovo.
I'd like to think this is something that they just never thought. WRONG!!!. They know. they do it on purpose.
That's their way to make you feel incomplete, so you can start chasing for something else and fall again
in the marketing agenda.
There's always a way to make an "ALMOST PERFECT" product, the worst nightmare for you.
they have done this for years, since the beginning of times.
Let's not forget about the SATA performance issue in H67/P67 chipsets:
http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2589
the B520 is one of the lines affected and lenovo did nothing about it.
And please let's not forget about the Trojan that got infiltrated in the drivers disc
for the B Series Line.
Hopefully, your campany will get a FORMAT C: by the end of this year.
arrivederci.

Hi Rammohan,
You cannot use OPEN DATASET to transfer data from application server to presentation server.
You can do the following :
Do 1st point in BACKGROUND
1. Read the data file from application server into an internal table using OPEN DATASET
Do 2nd point in Foreground
2. Once you get the data into an internal table, then use FM GUI_DOWNLOAD to download it on presentation server
You cannot use the above 2 point together in Background because its not possible. Hence you need program it partially in background and partially in foreground.
Best regards,
Prashant

How to bring all columns in a single/first page in report painter

Hi Experts,
There are 9 columns in a report painter which includes 1 lead column.
7 columns comes in a first page including lead column and rest 2 columns goes to second page. This report is copied from another report where all columns comes in a first page only. if the original report comes in one page then why not the new report.
Please suggest how to bring all columns in a single/first page in the new report.
Please revert if I'm confused anywhere.
Thanks in advance
Arabinda

Hi Rajneesh,
Thanx for the quick reply. When I change the column width to 10 it comes in one page. But the requirement is to keep the column width to at least 12 or 14 and moreever the original report from where this report is copied having the same no of columns and the column width for original report is 14 and it comes in one page only.
Do I need to do something more to achieve this. My question is how the original reports data comes in one page where as the current report having issue with same number of columns.
Pls suggest.
Thanx,
Arabinda

How to bring the Header value to the row ?

Dear All,
I am a starter in learning SDK. have developed a form having 2 tables a header and a row detailed one.
Now i need to update a field in all the row with a header value when the header value is added. it should be like the SE name getting updated when the SE name is selected in header level in std doc.
how to arrive it?
kindly help me to achieve this.
Thanks,
Sam.

Dear Gordon,
May the customer enters a value to the header which they want it to be unique value for all the row detail.
If there exists more than 50 rows they cant enter it for each and every row, for in case if the value needed to be changed for a particular row or for particular few rows they will change it manually to that row alone.
I just want to achieve this scenario in my form.
Do you know how to bring in ?
As this is being a normal functionality in Std forms.
Thank you...
