How to change the text in the Cancel button of JFileChooser ?

Hello,
In french the standart text in the Cancel button of the JFileChooser class is "Annuler". For a good reason which will be too long to explain, I need to change it by another term.
I tried to create a super class and redefine the CANCEL_SELECTION string, but this does not work. I can't either change it directly because it has the final attribute.
Where does JFileChooser get this word from ? ( I guess it is not hard coded for multilanguage support purpose).
Any help would be appreciated

I believe the standard Look and feel implementations look in UIManager for a string called FileChooser.cancelButtonText.
Therefore you might be able to change it after you've loaded your LnF by using the following code:
UIManager.put("FileChooser.cancelButtonText", "---change me---");Note that this would change all file choosers in your application.
If you only want to update one type of file chooser you could extend, for example, MetalFileChooserUI and set its cancel button text by overriding installStrings. You'd then need to install this UI on the file chooser you want to change.
There may be an easier way to do this!
Hope this helps.

WPF: How to change the radio button text background?

Is there a simple way that we can change the radio button text background? thx!
JaneC

If you literally mean the text background.
It's a contentcontrol.
You can put whatever you like in it to hold the text.
As illustrated by my article:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/30173.wpf-tips-radiobutton-alignment.aspx
Thus:
<RadioButton Name="rbnIsolated">
<TextBlock Text="Isolated Storage" Margin="0,-10,0,0" FontSize="22" Background="Pink"/>
</RadioButton>
Makes just the text background pink
Hope that helps.

How to use the cancel button in showInputDialog

um how would i go with overriding the cancel button's deafult function in JOptionPane.showInputDialog?
in my code:
package alphaOne;
* this program takes in a number and gets the factorial of that number
import javax.swing.*;
public class Factorial {
     public Factorial() {
           * variables intilization, input is where the option pane puts the data
           * number is teh actucal number entered parsed from string result is
           * where the resutl is stored flag1 is the indicator if the user had
           * entered an integer
          String input;
          int flag1 = 0;
          int number = 0;
          long result = 0;
           * this while loop runs continously unless an integer is entered
          while (flag1 != 1)
               try {
                    input = JOptionPane
                              .showInputDialog("Enter the number to be factored, Integer only: ");
                    number = Integer.parseInt(input);
                    flag1 = 1;
               } catch (NumberFormatException ea) {
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
                              "The input was not a integer!", "Warning",
                              JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
          result = number;
          for (int x = 1; x < number; x++) {
               result = result * (x);
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The result is: " + result,
                    "Result", JOptionPane.CLOSED_OPTION);
          try {

               System.out.print("ARRRRR its dead!");
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          Factorial One = new Factorial();
}the cancel button does not break the while loop

what is the value of null compared to when you compare it, and do we use the String.equals() or the String == null to compare? as seen in here i tried with input.equals(null) as a comparison but it deos not exit when i press cancel

How to disable the cancel button in the ProgressMonitor

hi,
I need to know, is there any way to disable/remove the (cancel)button in the ProgressMonitor?
One more problem is,
Once i click the cancel button, isCanceled() return true, how to make it false again so that the process continue....
It is very urgently.....
please help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Deepa Raghuraman

I don't think that's a good solution, because Cancel button itself is not disabled, so user is tempted to click it and nothing happens.
A better but dangerous solution is this:
progressMonitor = new ProgressMonitor(ProgressMonitorDemo.this,
"Running a Long Task",
"", 0, 100);
progressMonitor.setMillisToDecideToPopup(0);
progressMonitor.setMillisToPopup(0);
progressMonitor.setProgress(0);
JDialog dialog = (JDialog)progressMonitor.getAccessibleContext().getAccessibleParent();
JOptionPane pane = (JOptionPane)dialog.getContentPane().getComponent(0);
pane.setOptions(new Object[]{});Refer to the same question here [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/512151/how-do-i-disable-the-cancel-button-when-using-javax-swing-progressmonitor] .

How to change the Icon for a JFileChooser ?

Has anyone figured out how to change the icon for an instance of JFileChooser from the coffee cup to something else?
I'm on 1.4
Thanks,

Never mind. I figured it out.
You have to use an instance of JFrame in the call to showXxxxDialog(Component c). Set the icon of the JFrame to what you want the JFileChooser's icon to be.

How to change the TOC button?

Hi!
I´d like to change the TOC button. In former versions its simply with four lines on it, with version 8 it´s labeled with "TOC". Can I get the lines back??
And how do I change the label for bookmarks? (right beside the small bookmark icon it says "title", but I´d like to label it "content" or something else)
Thanks!

Still don´t know how to change the label for bookmarks in TOC ...
But I found the solution for changing the TOC button: somewhere in the program folder are FLA-files for the different skins. Choose the FLA corresponding to your selected skin, open it with Flash and check the library for the button you want to change. Doubleclick in the library and create anew (I changed the "TOC" into three lines). Export SWF and then take care to put it where the original skin SWF is located. Voilá!
Hopefully someone can tell me a way to change the label ;-)

How to handle the "cancel" button and "close" icon of a popup ?

Hi,
I have a popup with "cancel button" and "close icon"(on the top right corner of the popup), I want the same operations to be performed on clicking of any of these two components.
Is there a way to handle such situation ?
I read about 2 cases to look into this but they didn't work too well for me.
1. I read about the "popcancellistener" but that listener is called whenever the popup closes, so suppose I have an "ok button" on the popup to create a record, after the record is created, the popup closes and goes into the "popcancellistener", now the question is "how do we know if it came there because of the 'ok button' or 'some other event'".
2. I even checked the "DialogListener", now I'm able to distinguish between the 'OK' and 'CANCEL' button in the dialoglistener using the "Dialog.Outcome.ok/cancel", but when a user clicks on the close icon, we do not enter the "DialogListener" at all, so in this case "how do we handle the close icon click event"
Do let me know if you need any more information from my side.
Thanks for the help in advance.

The following mechanism responds to any of the following events: <Esc> key, Close icon ('x'), Cancel button
JavaScript part:
function popupClosedListener(event){
              var source = event.getSource();
              var popupId = source.getClientId();
              var params = {};
              params['popupId'] = popupId;
              var type = "serverPopupClosed";
              var immediate = true;
              AdfCustomEvent.queue(source, type, params, immediate);
}JSF part:
         <af:popup ....>
              <af:clientListener method="popupClosedListener"
                                       type="popupClosed"/>
              <af:serverListener type="serverPopupClosed"
                                      method="#{myBean.serverPopupClosedMetod}"/>

How to change the menu button picture?

Hi,
How can I change the picture (or the 'movie frame') that appears in the sub-chapter menu buttons (those that link directly to different movies) in Encore CS5? By dedfault there appears the first frame from the sequence which in my case is black as I start my sequences with 'dip to black' dissolves. So, all of my sub-chapter menu buttons have black pictures as a result of that. I don't want to animate them, I just want to learn how to pick a frame from the sequence and turn it into a menu button picture.
Thanks

How to change the behaviour of the Cancel-Button of SSO-Login-Page (Forms)?

Hi Folks,
we use SSO-Login to authenticate users using Forms. How do I change the URL which is opened when a user clicks on the cancel button on the SSO Login page?
In the formsweg.cfg file there is a parameter named ssoCancelUrl, but if I define it, it doesn't work anyway. Seems like it has something to do with ssoDynamicResourceCreate, but I don't exactly understand what.
Can't I simply change the URL which is opened (globally), when a user hits the cancel button on any SSO-Loginpage.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Exactly this does not work! Please watch my settings:
Global Setting in formsweb.cfg
# Single Sign-On OID configuration parameter: indicates whether we allow
# dynamic resource creation if the resource is not yet created in the OID.
ssoDynamicResourceCreate=false
# Single Sign-On parameter: URL to redirect to if ssoDynamicResourceCreate=false
ssoErrorUrl=
# Single Sign-On parameter: Cancel URL for the dynamic resource creation DAS page.
ssoCancelUrl=
# Single Sign-On parameter: indicates whether the url is protected in which
# case mod_osso will be given control for authentication or continue in
# the FormsServlet if not. It is false by default. Set it to true in an
# application-specific section to enable Single Sign-On for that application.
ssoMode=false
App-Specific settings in formsweb.cfg
[proz]
envFile=proz.env
form=proz.fmx
title=proz
separateFrame=true
width=1280
height=960
ssoMode=true
ssoDynamicResourceCreate=false
ssoCancelURL=http://machinename:port/zugangsportal/
otherparams=useSDI=yes P_SERVER_URL=machinename:port P_REP_SERVERNAME=machinename_proz ZP_TARGET_ID=%ZP_TARGET_ID%
When I now access http://machinename:port/forms/frmservlet?config=proz I got redirected to the SSO-Login-Page but the Cancel-Button still links to Middletier Home. Why?
Regards.
