How to create a non hiding dialog box in swing

Hi there,
I want to create a non hiding Dialog box similar to MS Word Find/Replace dialog.
The Dialog should not hide when the focus is lost. Instead it should become inactive & should remain on the top.
Could someone please let me know how to create such a dialog in Swing?
You help is highly appreciated.
Thanks

How to create a custom file dialog box/vi (win)??

Hello,
I'd like to create a custom file dialog box to handle the reading of my tdms files. Basicly I want to extend the existing file select dialog box with a graphical preview of the data in the selected file. I know I can create all the logic for file selection by hand and use a list box to display the filelist, but I would rather prefer to somehow use the existing windows controls. So is it possible to get the windows file selector on the front panel of a vi and react to the user selection? If so, is there any example available on how to do this? Any other options? I'm using labview 8.2
thanks for your input!

Klaus,
I wouldn't know that Microsoft provides access to the controls that Explorer and file dialog consist of.
There might be a different and more powerful solution though. The
WINDOWS Explorer / file dialog have a plugin API that allows you to
associate your own application for thumbnail creation with a particular
file extension. That way, TDMS thumbnails will show in any instance of
Explorer and
File Dialog without you having to make your own dialog. Basically, you
would need to compile the VI that creates the thumbnail into a
LabVIEW-built DLL and then wrap this DLL with some C++ boilerplate code
that Microsoft provides. You might want to have a look at the bottom of
this article to get an idea of how the whole thing works:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/0600/w2kui2/default.aspx.
Hope that helps,

How to create non-modal dialog box?

I'm trying to create a non-modal dialog box. The purpose is to show an alarm for the user but should leave the calling VI continuing to run. I have created such a thing -- the problem is that I can't figure out how to get the dialog box to go away! It stops running but the window just hangs around. See the attached VIs and image.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Chad

How to stop "Create New CSS Rule" dialog box

Made the mistake of allowing an Apple tech talk me into an OS X "Install in place". He assured me that all application settings would remain the same as before.
Now, when holding down the "shift" key and typing a word in all caps (in Design View), the "Create new CSS Rule" dialog box pops up and writes:
<span style="font-size: 14px; margin-center: 1px; text-align: left; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 6px; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-top: 3px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TEXT
I am trying to find the setting in preferences to disable this, and since the behavior started after OS X "install in place", something must have changed. I just want to type in design view and not have to deal with Dreamweaver overriding what I'm doing.

I am attempting to type some text in "design", not "code" view. I want the text to be caps. I hold down the shift key, type the first letter, and immediately the "New CSS Rule" dialog box pops up. I cancel, but the code...
<span style="font-size: 14px; margin-center: 1px; text-align: left; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 6px; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-top: 3px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TEXT
...is created anyway.I just want to type a word into an existing div with no changes or dialog boxes or any input from Dreamweaver. I was able to do that before, and cannot do it now. There must be some setting that I am missing in preferences.

How can I Create custom pop up dialog box with question/answer

I need to create a pop up dialog box that asks a question and accepts an answer input. The form needs to be able to be emailed out (not server based) Can someone help me do this? I am a designer, with very (Very!) limited coding skills. Looks like the windjack program that I keep running into does not work with Acrobat X.
Thanks for any help you may have

I am not able to help you with the current method you are using - which seems an odd one in that you are using a menu script to do this????
I would have done the page completely differently - instead of slicing it up into a vastly complex table, I'd have added the image to the page and then used an imagemap. Then I'd have used this script to add the popups (as toolitps) that you can be as simple or as complex as you wish: http://boxover.swazz.org/.

JS can not interact with open dialogs in any way, unless it's a dialog
created in JS using the Dialog object.

JDialog Problem: How to make a simple "About" dialog box?

Hi, anyone can try me out the problem, how to make a simple "About" dialog box? I try to click on the MenuBar item, then request it display a JDialog, how? Following is my example code, what wrong code inside?
** Main.java**
============================
publc class Main extends JFrame{
public Main() {
          super();
          setJMenuBar();
          initialize();
public void setJMenuBar()
     JMenuBar menubar = new JMenuBar();
        setJMenuBar(menubar);
        JMenu menu1 = new JMenu("File");
        JMenuItem item = new JMenuItem("About");
        item.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
              // About about = new About(this);
           // about.show();
        menu1.add(item);
     menubar.add(menu1);
public static void main(String args[]){
     Main main = new Main();
}** About.java**
=============================
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class About extends JDialog{
     JPanel jp_top, jp_center, jp_bottom;
     public About(JFrame owner){
          super(owner);
          setDefaultCloseOperation( DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE );
          Image img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(DateChooser.class.getResource("Duke.gif"));
          setIconImage( img );
          setSize(500,800);
          Container contentPane = getContentPane();
         contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
         contentPane.add(getTop(), BorderLayout.NORTH);
          contentPane.add(getCenter(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
          contentPane.add(getBottom(), BorderLayout.SOUTH);
          setResizable(false);
           pack();
           setVisible(true);
     public JPanel getTop(){
          jp_top = new JPanel();
          return jp_top;
     public JPanel getCenter(){
          jp_center = new JPanel();
          return jp_center;
     public JPanel getBottom(){
          jp_bottom = new JPanel();
          jp_bottom.setLayout(new BoxLayout(jp_bottom, BoxLayout.X_AXIS));
          JButton jb = new JButton("OK");
          jp_bottom.add(jb);
          return jp_bottom;
}

Code looks reasonable except
a) the code in the actionPerformed is commment out
b) the owner of the dialog should be the frame
If you need further help then you need to create a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)",
see http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html,
that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.

How I can diable in firefox dialog box "download error could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. " standart download manager when file not downloaded

It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is interfering otherwise.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files
You can try to set the browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone pref on the about:config page to false.

How to create a non-cumulative key figure & How to make a info cube as so

Hi Experts,
How to create a non-cumulative key figure & How to make an info cube as non-cumulative cube?
Can any one kindly provide me the steps we need to performe?
Thanks in Advance,
Raj

Hi Azael,
In the How to Papers, you will find a Guide on how to take a Sanpshot view of the Stocks(How To Handle Inventory Management Scenarios in BW). Basically if you implement the Guide, you will have another cube called ICSNAP1, which will contain stock quantities /values at the end of each month. You will therefore have to take stock at the end of the last month from that cube and add up the relevant receipts and issues to arrive at the current Stock or Stock as on a particular date.
Hope this helps!

How to create a non editable PDF

How to create a non editable PDF in PDF writer 5 & 6 Professional.

There was a PDF Writer driver available in AA 5 (not in AA 6). It was part of the custom install and was not recommended for use. In AA 5, the Acrobat Distiller printer was preferred. In AA 6, the name was changed to the Adobe PDF printer. In any case, once you have the PDF, open the PDF in Acrobat and go to the document properties. Select the security options to restrict changes and/or extracting text. The security is not all that robust, but works for most folks.

You too can display non-modal dialog boxes: LrDialogs.presentFloatingDialog

Undocumented function: LrDialogs.presentFloatingDialog
ref: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/sdk_lrdialogs_presentfloatingdialog_ and_showstringsdialog_undocumented
This works for displaying non-modal dialog box:
LrFunctionContext.postAsyncTaskWithContext( "test", function( context )
    local LrPhotoPictureView = import 'LrPhotoPictureView'
    local photo = catalog:getTargetPhoto()
    local pictureView = LrPhotoPictureView.makePhotoPictureView{
          width = 400, height = 400, photo = photo,
    local result = LrDialogs.presentFloatingDialog {
        title = "Thumbnail test",
        background_color = LrColor ("white"), -- required for (uncolored) static_text display, else inside of box is black and so can't see black text.
        contents = vf:column {
            vf:static_text {
                title = photo:getFormattedMetadata ("fileName"),
            pictureView,
            --vf:edit_field { - no sirve, presumably keystrokes are not trapped by box.
            --    bind_to_object = prefs,
            --    value = app:getGlobalPrefBinding( 'tempForTest' ),
            vf:push_button {
                title = "Click me",
                action = function( button )
                    app:show{ info="Pushed" } -- glorified call to LrDialogs.presentModalDialog - works.
                end,
    -- LrDialogs( app:getGlobalPref( 'tempForTest' ), result ) -- no sirve.
end )
Enjoy!

there is no way to activate previously opened dialog?
I assume that to be the case, and so it takes a moment to come up if there is much contents.

For me, it would be very useful, if it was reliable, but so far, not so good.
UPDATE: Bug I thought was in non-modal dialog is also in modal dialog (scrolled_view must not be followed by another components in tabbed container - see comments in code below):
LrFunctionContext.postAsyncTaskWithContext( "tt", function( context )
    local props = LrBinding.makePropertyTable( context )
    props.tv = 0
    local vi = {
        vf:tab_view {
            vf:tab_view_item {
                identifier = "t1",
                title = "T1",
                vf:static_text {
                    title = "temp1"
            vf:tab_view_item {
                identifier = "t2",
                title = "T2",
                vf:scrolled_view {
                    vf:slider {
                        bind_to_object = props,
                        value = LrView.bind( 'tv' ),
                -- with this here, Lr crashes after adjusting slider and then switching tabs - comment it out, and all is well:
                --vf:static_text {
                --    title = "this cant be here",
    LrDialogs.presentModalDialog {
        title = "test",
        contents = vf:view( vi )
end )
