How to have Always on top

Am using a JInternalFrame to have my tools. i open new JInternalFrames with canvas for painting with tools from my first JInternalFrame. Now my problem is i want to have my InternalFrame with tools to be always in front, so that i can select tools. can i make that InternalFrame as always on top.. Or else suggest me some other option to obtain such scenario..

Well a JDesktopPane is a layered pane. This means that the components added to it have an associated z coordinate. You can add the floating internal frame at a higher layer then the other internal frames.
myDesktopPane.add(myToolbarFrame,JLayeredPane.PALETTE_LAYER,0);

  • Breadcrumbs to have "Always on top option"

    Hi,
    In my webhelp I have enabled the bread crumbs option....Now,
    I am having a small usability issue with this...
    I maintain breadcrumbs on the top left side of the
    page....When i scroll down the page, the breadcrumb is not visible
    and hence i always have to scroll back to the top/bottom of the
    page to navigate...
    I just wanted to know if it is possible to always have the
    bread crumbs at the top of the page regardless of the
    scrolling..something like the "always on top option"..
    Please let me now if this is possible in anyway..
    thanks in advance for your help!!!

    Hi there
    RoboHelp doesn't offer this functionality. But it doesn't
    mean that you can't have it if you are determined. There are some
    JavaScripts out there that can be used to achieve what you want.
    Note, however, that it will require post processing your WebHelp
    output to add the scripts to the pages.

  • Always On Top Internal Frames

    Dear Friends,
    How we set Always on Top option for Internal Frames.
    Or User can't Do anything without closing that dialog(frame).
    Thankx.

    no, an internal frame can not be on top of anything that doesn't exist inside that frame.
    Maybe they can be forced on top of other content of the same frame, but that's as far as it goes.

  • Set Always on Top Stage Javafx

    How to set always on top stage javafx?
    Help Me.
    Thanks.

    I actually found a "way around" this situation. I use transparency and a popup with a change listener to the focused property and then my window is "always on top". The only problem it's kinda like a hack and generates an exception. Here's the code:
    import br.com.vieirawebstudio.util.StageHandler;
    import sun.security.util.Resources;
    import javafx.application.Application;
    import javafx.beans.value.ChangeListener;
    import javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue;

    import javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle;
    import javafx.stage.Popup;
    import javafx.stage.PopupBuilder;
    import javafx.stage.Screen;
    import javafx.stage.Stage;
    public class MainWindow extends Application {
         private static Stage primaryStage;
         private static final double WIDTH = 600.0;
         private static final double HEIGHT = 40.0;
         private ChangeListener<Boolean> changeListener;
         public MainWindow()
              changeListener = new ChangeListener<Boolean>() {
                   @Override
                   public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Boolean> observable, Boolean oldValue, Boolean newValue)
                        if(!primaryStage.isFocused())
                             primaryStage.setIconified(false);
                             primaryStage.requestFocus();
         @Override
         public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception
              primaryStage = StageHandler.getStage();
              StackPane root = new StackPane();
              Rectangle frame = new Rectangle(WIDTH,HEIGHT, Color.web("#000"));
              frame.setOpacity(0.7);
              HBox pane = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("/fxml/MainWindow.fxml"), Resources.getBundle("bundle.MainWindow"));
              root.getChildren().add(frame);
              root.getChildren().add(pane);
              primaryStage.getIcons().add(new Image(getClass().getResource("/icons/logo.png").toString()));
              primaryStage.setX((Screen.getPrimary().getVisualBounds().getWidth() - WIDTH)/2);
              primaryStage.setTitle("Netuno");
              primaryStage.setIconified(false);
              primaryStage.setY(0);
              primaryStage.focusedProperty().addListener(changeListener);
              final Popup popup = getAlwaysOnTop(root);
              primaryStage.getScene().getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("/css/MainWindow.css").toString());
              popup.show(primaryStage);
         public Popup getAlwaysOnTop(Node root)
              Popup xmlWindow = PopupBuilder
                        .create()
                        .content(root)
                        .width(WIDTH)
                        .height(HEIGHT)

  • Widget always on top

    Hi,
    is there a way to make the widget appear always on top?
    thanks!

    No. The widget does not currently have "Always on top"
    functionality. That would be a good suggestion for our Feature
    Request thread in the General Discussions topic, however.

  • Why the office windows always on top of others - how to change it back?!!

    I'm using mac os x and office 2011.
    Since maybe couple weeks ago (maybe after one of the office upgrades?), when I have multiple office windows opened (e.g., multiple word documents, excel, powerpoint), these windows always appear on top of others (e.g., safari, calendar) first!
    Here is an example: now i'm using safari, so it's my active window.  If I want to go to calendar (which is already opened), when I click the calendar window, all the office windows (which are opened as well) will jump out first!!  Then I have to click the calendar again to make it become on top of the office windows.  That means, whenever I want to switch to other windows while office windows are opened, I have to click all the other windows twice, because the first time I click on any other type of window, the office windows will jump out no matter what.
    This is very annoying after a while.  I'm not sure if I explained this clear enough.  But how can I change the settings so the office windows can just not always on top of other windows??!!  

    Yes, I can view/hide the OSK with no problem but the keyboard, itself, changed somehow.

  • How to have Safari links always open in same window

    I've been researching how to have Safari always open links in the same window, but it appears this can't be done?  I've seen this third party app, but am afraid of installing something that doesn't come from the app store because it might harm my macbook.  Does anyone have any thoughts about how to have links always open in the same window? Or how to find out if I can trust this app:

  • HT2534 How can I use "Family Sharing" without giving details of my credit or debit card? I do not want to give my cards data, I have always used iTunes prepaid cards.

    How can I use "Family Sharing" without giving details of my credit or debit card? I do not want to give my cards data, I have always used iTunes prepaid cards.

    Hi Saramos,
    When setting up Family Sharing you must have a credit or debit card as your payment method. See this article for reference -
    Family purchases and payments
    When a family member makes a purchase it will be billed to any gift or store credit that they have first. If none exists it will be billed to you.
    As the family organizer, you may not set your billing method for purchases to anything other than a credit or debit card. If you have a store credit such as from pre-paid cards, it may not be shared with other family members. See this article for reference -
    How iTunes Store purchases are billed

  • I have always used the same computer to update both of our iphones , welll with this last one it changed my husbands apple account to mine , how do I get that change back, I looked on support but there is nothing l can find to address that issue

    He still has money on his account, and plus it is just one more password and all. The information on his phone is all the same, thank god I didn't lose his phonebook or anything.
    I have always updated the phones on the same machine, he is also upset on all the changes this last update did. He doesn't like change.
    Anyone know how I can contact apple just about an apple id question. I wish they had live chat at least

    Now I feel dumb, once I posted this it brought up others like it and tada there it was , just sign out and then sign back in on the other account. Learn somthing new everyday.  Just would like to know why it signed into my account when it never did before....

  • Hi. My husband and I have always shared the same iTunes account.  Since installing iCloud, all our contacts and calenders have merged on our iPhone 4, which we do not want.  How do I rectify this? Does my husband need to set up his own apple ID?

    Hi. My husband and I have always shared the same iTunes account.  Since installing iCloud, all our contacts and calenders have merged on our iPhone 4, which we do not want.  How do I rectify this? Does my husband need to set up his own apple ID?  If so, where do I need to change his email address info, so that his calender and contacts remain his?  Thank you

    You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours.  If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
    You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for).  You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
    You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

  • How to keep toolbar in Photoshop CS5 always on top

    I have just upgraded to CS5 from CS3. In CS5, when I move an open document around on screen it covers over the toolbar, but only if the toolbar is docked to the side of window.  It will also cover the property bar and menu bar at the top of the interface.  The palettes on the r/h side always stay on top if not docked to the edge of the window, but if docked they too get covered over. In CS3 all the interface items stayed on top.  Is there any way to make sure they is always on top when docked (I prefer not to have them free floating)?
    I'm using Vista Ultimate.  My monitor is a Dell 24" Ultrasharp running at native 1920x1200 res.

    Thanks for the suggestion.  Turning OpenGL off makes no difference, and with it turned on I have also tried the three different quality settings, none of which made any difference either.
    I've also just tried with CS5 in a window, rather than fully maximised, and like that I can actually drag an open image right outside the Photoshop interface!
