How to develop docking windows like the ones in NetBeans?

Hello,
I am looking for the answer to how to develop docking windows like that in NetBeans?
I have been going through APIs of NetBeans' source code. I find the package org.netbeans.swing.tabcontrol. And I have tried the demo program in the folder. But I still do not know how the docking is implemented?
Can someone give me some hints or advice on this? Thanks.

What if I want to use the source code of NetBeans?
You know unlike Eclipse, it is developed by Swing. It is quite successful project with nice GUI, and most important, it is open source.
But how do they implement in NetBeans?

Discussion: Why no centralize development for Java (like the one in ABAP)

I am reading the NetWeaver Development Infrastructure, and noticed that due to the distributed development nature of Java, SAP recommend The Four-System Landscape for the development lifecycle.
Each developers has their own local development environment, that's why it is necessary to 'reconcile' the environment using one more layer of system. Although they checked out the particular Development Object, the necessary library from the central is being copied by DTR to the local environment. However, there are still possibilities that someone changes the library, or other classes that being refered. And we are not talking only about the business logic, but other object in the persistance level too. Let's say your program refered to a certain field in a certain table, but someone else had changed the field name. Or even worse, you want to get the setting value from a certain setting table, but someone else had deleted the value of that record (for whatever reason).
In short, I believe there are many 'reconcilliation' process that need to be done when the development environment is not centralized. These problems won't happen in the ABAP world, because you will notice the problem straight away when you activate your component, or test run it. In distributed environment, you will only notice it when you check-in your development object back, but it might be after some time lags, and you might not remember which part need to be taken care of.
Not only this, the setting of 'correct' IDE environment in each local PC must be done properly. Again, in ABAP you just need to install SAP GUI and it will be your development environment.
So, I had discussion with a friend of mine, and he asked, why there is no central development environment, like the one in ABAP? Hmm, to be frank, I also don't know. Performance problem? I notice that most IDE in the market based on the assumption that development will be done locally. Or is it for the convenient purpose, so that people can keep the development eventhough there is no connection to central server? But what is the cost for this convenient?
What other people think?

ps: As you might notice, this thread is not marked as question. I am just curious of what other people think about this issue. There will be no points rewarded for the replies.

Hello Satya,
So if it's a 'mere' technical limitation, then there should be a way to create centralized development for Java
It might be an old mainframe environment, but from the development process point of view, centralized environment offers benefit where lots of versioning problem (library or data dictionary) can be solved.
I used to work in a distributed development environment to create a web based FI/SD/MM related application. We have tons of classic problem of '<i>it is working in my environment, but not in yours</i>' type of thing. With centralized (read: ABAP), version integrity problem can be reduced to minimum.
For the NWDI itself, I think SAP now moves toward embracing the open source platform to support the development environment. From what I've understood, Ant, for example will be used as the build tool. My personal opinion is, better if SAP creates it's 'proprietary' environment to centralized the java development process. Then it will save lot's of hidden cost during the implementation of new application/enhancement/maintenance in the whole supply chain.

How to create a button like the one pictured here

How would I create a button like the print button below?
I was thinking actually make it two separate buttons placed next to each other. The print button obviously would just be a modified boolean, that's easy. But the drop down is a bit harder. I figure I could customize a drop down but because I haven't been able to play around with it in LabVIEW (don't have it at home) I'm not sure if you can modify the alignment of the box that actually drops down etc. Is the drop down box location and look something you can modify within the control editor?
I'm guessing I could also use .net correct? But I am trying to keep it all with just control modification in LabVIEW if possible. Thanks.

I'd use a multicolumn listbox and toggle it's visibility when the user clicks on the button. I've attached an example:

How many developer account can register the one udid

I'm just wonder can one UDID be registered on multiply dev account or just the one?
Does Apple have to completely remove the UDID from the old Dev account for it to be registered with a new Dev account?

Thanks! And if I restore the iPhone will affect to 3 accounts that I havecreated?

Firefox and SeaMonkey do not show any webpage backgrounds and hot buttons don't have borders and entry windows like the one I'm typing in don't have borders. The only reason I can type here is I saw a cursor in this big blank area.

Firefox 3.6.16 and SeaMonkey 2.0.13 yesterday stopped displaying webpage background color. Everything is white. This text box has such a faint grey line around it that I didn't know it was there.
Every webpage I look at has the same issue.
Bing works correctly.
IE got corrupted a month ago and I've stopped using it.

How can I create a drawing like the one pictured from a photo?

How can I create a drawing like the one pictured from a photo?

OK, you are getting closer. Now, use your result, and place a Layer above that. Use the Pen Tool to create the "pen strokes" basically tracing over your background image. Then, when you have created each Path (or Sub-Path), choose Stroke Path, with probably the Pencil Tool and a Brush size that is small enough.
Not sure which versions of PS these are good for, but here are some plug-ins, that might be helpful.

Where can I find more OBE like the one for Database xE and SQL Developer?

Hi,
I tried to post on the OBE forum but it is expired.
I found the downloadable OBE, or tutorial, very good resources for me to learn Oracle, like the one for XE and SQL developer, which you can download, not just read online, and see as many times as you can, with flash stuffs inside,
Will you make more this kind of OBE?
Where can I find them?
Peter

Hi Hans,
I know the above address you offered but those are
not downloadble.So do what I do .... CTRL-S (save page)
As an Oracle trainer, I consider the OBEs to be very important. I doubt that Oracle will get rid of them.
However, it takes time to make them. I suspect that they are created when a new feature needs to be demonstrated and the product management has the resources available.
I just wish they would make the original set from Oracle8i available. They provided some very important basics which have long since hit the archive pile.
I'm sure that some of the ACEs would be happy to upgrade them to Oracle10g/11g level. I know I would be willing to contribute to that effort.

How can i create a Laptop like the ones use in SAP TecEd?

How can i create a Laptop like the ones use in SAP TecEd hands on labs? with all the NW products install on it.

Hi,
Vague question, but to create a laptop with the solution installed - you need to order the solution and and then install it on the laptop. Or download trial versions from SCN and install those as well.

So far so good. But then, how do you return to the viewing mode while preserving the corrected photos. There is no way out such as a button " done " like the one present in mi iMac.

How Do I Wrap Text Like the iOS Camera App?

Hello. I am in yearbook, and I have been challenged with designing the cover of the yearbook, and I have been having a few problems along the way. One of these problems is to wrap text. Specifically, I'm stuck on how I would wrap text like the iOS camera app on the bottom of the screen. The words seem like they are wrap around a 3D object to give it that effect, but I can't really tell. If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

There is a big difference between being a casual user than real work or development. I own a iPod its a great MP3 player and a device I can display my pictures on out of my pocket. I'll even Facetime my kids at time to see my grand kids or help fix something. My wife has a mini iPad for quick internet access and quire music and uses her iPod to entertain our two year old grandson with games. She uses a Canon 1D mark 4 and I a Cannon 1D mark II. The only use the iPad and iPod cameras get is Facetime. No iOS apps are use to work on images they have no value when you have Photoshop. The iPod is better for displaying image then the iPad mini it has a 3:2 aspect ratio display and travels better the the mini iPad which has a 4:3 aspect ratio display. I also crop image for display on wall mounted HDTV. The iPad is better for casual internet access then the iPod. All our kids have iPhones and they all use computers either Mac or PC for work and internet access. When you have a Unix or Windows why would you want to touch an iOS device for work or serious internet access. Apple mobile devices are convenient for casual use and grand kids don't get that dirty finger painting on them as they do using real paint. Nothing of real value is maintained on an iOS device.
Well...there's Photoshop Touch and Photoshop Mix as well as Lightroom Mobile. It could be argued that they're don't exactly mirror their desktop cousins, yes, but they weren't meant to be. They were meant as extensions to the desktop experience. (e.g., Lightroom Mobile lets one work with the RAW images they have in their Lightroom desktop collections.)
The more powerful Windows tablets can run Photoshop desktop (like Photoshop CC) too.
@bluebocat: Are you looking for text with a perspective? Like it has a vanishing point? As if it was turned in a certain direction in 3D space?

Using Excel with Visual C++ 6.0 (need a graph control that behaves as much like the one in CVI as possible)

I hate to beat this to death but I was unable to find a
clear answer to this question. Does NI provide Excel control from within
Visual C++ 6.0?
I read that NI supports the ANSI-C library only for Visual C++ 6.0 users:
Thread : "Re: Benifits of using measurment
studio for VC++ 6.0?"
NI REP : drohacek
Quote : "we made the decision to support Visual
C++ 6.0 users only through the ANSI-C interface and not through the Measurement
Studio MFC-based class libraries."
If there is a suggested way of controlling Excel from within Measurement Studio
for Visual C++ 6.0 then I’d love to know it.
If not, can a plain statement be made basically stating that if you want
to control Excel you can’t use a Visual C++ 6.0 environment even with Measurement
Studio support?
With .NET of course you can just decide to have Excel support added during
project creation. CVI can act as an ActiveX server and easily control
Excel just by building off the examples shipped with CVI. I see that
there is support, using the Measurement Studio for Visual C++ 6.0 Project Wizard,
for taking existing CVI projects and converting them to Visual C++ 6.0 projects
or for calling CVI libraries from a .dll from within Visual C++ 6.0. I suppose I could do the work
in CVI and then convert the project but I'm so deeply tied into all my MFC calls that I don't see
how I can cleanly include the CVI libraries into my existing VC++ 6.0 projects.
What I'm really after here is a visual graph control like the one in CVI that I
can use from Visual C++ 6.0. I purchased a 3rd party graph control for use
in VC++ 6.0 that works well but isn't really visual. I mean you can't
enter any values in it until you run the program and fill it out programmatically.
Then you can see which columns are two narrow, quit the program, adjust the
column width of your now empty control, and repeat, until you get the thing
looking the way you want. If I could call into Excel from within Visual
C++ 6.0 the way I do from within .NET
then I could use Excel to hold the table and just read in the values into my table
control at run time. Basically I'd use Excel as a visual development tool
for all my tables.
I do all my coding from within CVI and Measurement Studio for Visual C++
6.0. I'd use CVI for everything if I didn't depend so heavily on certain
outside controlled C++ .dll's. Could you please suggest then what I can
do to get Excel support for Visual C++ 6.0?
Last question :
Is there any plan to ever have a NI table control like the CVI table control for
use in Visual Studio? One that you can
completely set up before you do any compiling?
I imagine that the way Microsoft sets up their environment makes this idea impossible. Otherwise someone would
have come up with a truly “visual” table control before now.

Hello Grant
You can most certainly use Excel with VC++ 6.0. Measurement Studio won't provided you with any classes to talk to Excel in VC++ 6.0. This is because Excel allows control via Automation and you can use its automation API to do anything you need with Excel. This is what CVI uses as well.
You can see this MSDN article on how to set this up. This mentions VC.NET, but it should work the same way.
Here is one that talks about VC 6.0 and Excel.
Here is a code project article about this.
Even with .NET, you have to do thru the Excel Automation support. Excel started shipping with Primary Interop Assemblies (PIA) which are .NET wrappers about the Excel Automation object model. C++ Automation is definetely not as nice as .NET, BTW
See this document for more information about the Excel object model.
I would not recommend using the CVI Excel libraries if all you want to use them for is Excel automation. You will end up creating un-necessary dependencies and go through extra layers that way. You can make calls straight to Excel from VC++ without requiring CVI.
One quick observation about your excel approach. If you decide to use Excel as your table, you might be requiring everyone who uses your application to have Excel installed on their machines. Just wanted to make sure this was acceptable to you.
Have you looked at the Datagrid Activex control, which is one of the common controls that ships with Visual Studio? You can add it to Visual Studio by right-clicking and picking it from the list of installed activex control. If you have not already, you should check it out.
Microsoft has made significant improvements in the number of controls they provide with .NET. They have a Datagrid control that seems to be what you need.
Measurement Studio did add some high level classes for Excel and Word Automation that simplify some common tasks, but these exists for VS 2003 C++ and VS 2005 C++, not for VC 6.0. Underneath, we end up using the same Excel automation classes, so you can easily setup something similar for VC 6.0. Plus you can find alot of references online on how to use the Excel Automation object model with C++.
We currently have no plans in Measurement Studio to create a table control unfortunately. I am assuming when you said graph, you actually meant table, since Measurement Studio already provides a ActiveX graph controls for VC++ 6.0 that is very similar to the CVI graph.
On a side note, VC++ 6.0 is really really old. Have you considered upgrading?
To summarize
- Yes, you can use Excel with Vc++ 6.0 without mstudio.
- Try using the Datagrid Activex control if you just need a table.
- Measurement Studio provides high-level excel and word classes for VC++ 6.0
- Measurement Studio provides a graph control for VC++ 6.0 which is very similar to the CVI graph.
- Measuremnt Studio does not have a table control.
- VC++ 6.0 is really really old. Have you considered upgrading?
