How to I center a dialog box in the screen?

Simple question, and I hope a simple answer.
I need to center various sized dialog boxes in the screen.
I've tried getcenterpoint(), but I don't know EXACTLY how to use it.

look at the ToolKit class. there's a method which returns the size of the screen. with the size, you can calculate and use the setLocation() method to center your dialog box.
you can also use the setLocationRelativeTo() method of the Window class. (JDialog inherits the method from Window)

There is a dialog box on my screen that I've never seen before. I can't get it to disappear. Any ideas?

My Macbook has a dialog box on the screen that indicates everything I do. Right now it says "Standard toolbar". When I try to get rid of it nothing happens. I've never seen this before and don't know ho to get rid of it.

This seems to be more common than I thought. Premanent solution is to trade the cat in on a dog.

How do I get a dialog box to reappear?

I'm trying to write an application where
1. There is an opening frame. The user can click a 'start' button which
opens the first of a series of dialog boxes.
2 Each of these dialog boxes has a user input field and buttons 'next' 'back' and 'cancel' , to step forward/backward through user input , or to cancel & return to the opening frame.
3. As each dialog box opens up , the preceeding one should be hid.
4. If the user clicks 'back' , the current box should close and the
preceeding one should reopen.
Straightforward enough and I've got this working at the start of the progam
for the transition between the opening frame and the first dialog box, by
doing this:
in the opening frame...
//start button..
this.setVisible(false);
Dialog001 d001 = new Dialog001(this,"",true);
d001.setVisible(true);;
and in the code in the dialog box d001, for the '<< back' button..
void button1_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
dispose();
super.getOwner().setVisible(true);
*********** so far so good : everything works OK **************
The problem is when I repeat this in the second dialog box , the
first dialog box doesn't reappear.
I have looked in the books and tries various things, but no good
so far
How do I get the previous dialog box to reappear?
Also, how will the 'cancel' button work in the second (and subsequent)
dialog boxes (instead of the preceeding dialog box reappearing, the
original opening frame should reappear) ?
Thanks in advance

[the jdk is 1.2.2 , OS is win98, IDE is jbuilder ver 3]

How is this: (you can change it from Swing to AWT.)
setVisible(false);
int index = 0;
Vector v = new Vector();
dialog d;
while (index != -1)
     if (index == v.size())
           v.add(new dialog(this,index));
          d = (dialog)v.get(index);
     else
          d = (dialog)v.get(index);
              d.setVisible(true);
     index = d.ret;
     setVisible(true);
public class dialog extends JDialog
     JButton next = new JButton("next");
     JButton back = new JButton("back");
     JButton canc = new JButton("cancel");
     int     me;
     int     ret;
public dialog(JFrame f,int i)
     super(f,""+i,true);
     me = i;
     getContentPane().setLayout(new GridLayout(4,0));
     getContentPane().add(next);
     getContentPane().add(back);
     getContentPane().add(canc);
     next.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
     {     public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e )
          {     ret = me+1;
               setVisible(false);
     back.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
     {     public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e )
          {     ret = me-1;
               setVisible(false);
     canc.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
     {     public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e )
          {     ret = -1;
               setVisible(false);
     getContentPane().add(new TextField("abced"));
     setBounds(100,100,100,150);
     setVisible(true);

How to develop a file dialog box in a oracle forms

please help me its an urgent task,
how to develop a file dialog box in a oracle 6i forms
in html we will use <input type ="file"/> to open a dialog box,so that we can upload file to the server .similarly how to upload a file using oracle.

For Windows there is a library that comes with forms d2kwutil.pll that contains a package win_api_dialog. use the open_file procedure.
NOTE******** when you select a file from whatever windows directory you choose, it will change your working directory to that directory so right after that you will need to reassign your working directory back to what it originally was.
Also, you will need to have d2kwut60.dll in the same directory as your d2kwutil.pll. Both come with Developer.
Example code is
v_runpath := win_api_environment.get_working_directory(TRUE);
v_filename := win_api_dialog.open_file('Find File','C:\','*.*',TRUE, 0, TRUE);
win_api_environment.set_working_directory(v_runpath,true);
Hope this helps

How we can make CQ dialog box movable on page like sidestick?

You could use dialogMode property configured under cq:editConfig node.
dialogMode : floating
http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/developing/components.html
This should make your component dialog float and be movable.

How can I get print dialog box to show accurately?

My print dialog box shows the image too large. If I go to print it prints correctly. I have tried updating drivers and reinstalling Illustrator. It has been happening since new update to CC.

When viewing the print settings, in the Summary List, it shows the Paper width as 9 inches rather than 8.5.
The Navigator window shows (in my test file) 4 plus signs across the top of an 8.5 by 11 inch page.
The Print Preview in the Print Dialog shows only 3. My printer is set to standard 8.5 by 11 page size.
Everything prints perfectly in CS6 when I bring the file in.

How can I get past dialog box that wants my country/region? Premiere Elements 13 will not open!!!

Cannot get past the country/region dialog box because the list will not allow me to select the United States as the place where I live. The list is too long and no way to get to the bottom to select the United States!!! I can't get into Premiere Element 13.

TNDOGGER888
Thank you for the reply.
Let us start with
1. Is the computer operating system Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit? If it is and you are installing Premiere Elements 13, then the program files will go by default to Local Disk C/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Premiere Elements 13 as the default location. If you have a computer that is using other than Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, then it will not. Another question is, when your drives were set up, was the SSD drive designated the C drive?
2. From what you wrote, I understood that you were using your installation files or installation disc to install the program, but were getting stopped very early in the installation process because you could not set the country/language. Typically that setting is done while you are starting the installation. One of the early dialog boxes that you get in that process is named Choose Setup Language (or something like that). That is where I believed you could not set the country/language. Is that the place to which you were referring or some place else?
3. You do not need to uninstall Premiere Elements 10 to install and run Premiere Elements 13. Just use one program at a time.
Typically 32 bit applications in a 64 bit computer operating system run in the 32 bit compatibility mode of the 64 bit system. And, these 32 bit applications program files will be in Program Files (x86) Folder. The 64 bit applications program files would be in Program Files. With regard to Premiere Elements 10, some of its files may be found in Program Files and Program Files (x86).
But, the main focus now is getting Premiere Elements 13 installed to the default location on the Local Disk C/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Premiere Elements 13 during the installation process after you designate the country/language and are given a country dependent NTSC or PAL system with which to work.
From a quick look at 13 installation on Windows 7 64 bit, the first installation dialog that mentions language with country implications is
This is for Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 7 or 8.1 64 bit. Since you say that the United States is further down the list in your case, I suspect this is not the place where you are having problems. Note the default location in this Options dialog. Did you leave that as is or change it to something else?
Are you having these issues when you get to the Sign In dialog or some place else?
Please consider and then let us decide what next.
Many thanks for the follow up. Appreciated.

How can I make a gray box or gray screen in Pages over a few lines of text?

How can I make a gray box or gray screen in Pages over a few lines of text?

Thanks. Almost what I was looking for.
While that makes for a gray over the lines, it still does not form a box.
Any other suggestions to form a solid rectangular gray box?

In javascript, how do I open a dialog so that the user can input the value of a variable?

I'm working on a script that will be used for many images, all of them using the same format (size of the image, layer layout, etc).
All of these images will have a layer of text, and what I want is to have the script modify the horizontal length of the text layer (horizontal percentage scale), shrinking it so that all of the text appears on-screen, in case there's too much of it.
But the text will vary from image to image, and what I want is for the script to display a dialog box were the user can input the text that will be put on the text layer and scaled down.
Can this be done?

If you want the user to both enter then fit the text while your script is running, here is one way to do that.
var typeLayer = activeDocument.activeLayer;
var type = typeLayer.textItem;
var t = prompt ("Enter text" , "new text");
type.contents= t;
transformLayer();
function transformLayer() {
     try{
     var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
        var ref = new ActionReference();
        ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('Lyr '), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') );
    desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref );
    desc.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('FTcs'), charIDToTypeID('QCSt'), charIDToTypeID('Qcsa') );
        var desc1 = new ActionDescriptor();
        desc1.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Hrzn'), charIDToTypeID('#Rlt'), 0.000000 );
        desc1.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Vrtc'), charIDToTypeID('#Rlt'), 0.000000 );
    desc.putObject( charIDToTypeID('Ofst'), charIDToTypeID('Ofst'), desc1 );
    desc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Wdth'), charIDToTypeID('#Prc'), 100 );
    desc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Hght'), charIDToTypeID('#Prc'), 100 );
    desc.putBoolean( charIDToTypeID('Lnkd'), true );
    executeAction( charIDToTypeID('Trnf'), desc, DialogModes.ALL );
     }catch(e){}

How can i pin a text box to the bottom of a VBOX

Hi,
Thank you in advance for your time, the question is how do i pin a text box to the bottom of a VBox, i dont know what code to add kindly help me out. The code i have with me is
VBox {
translateX: 10
translateY: 10
spacing: 20
content: [
Label {
text: "TextBox:"
TextBox {
layoutInfo: LayoutInfo { minWidth: 100 width: 150 maxWidth: 200 }
] //contents
//VBox
now the text box has to go to the bottom of the VBox even if the VBox has other objects or if its resized.
Regards,
Kibu

Vbox, acts much like a linear layout like in other languages.
Just keep your declared textbox at the bottom of your content (content :[] ), then the text box will continue to get pushed further down your view, as you add other controls to your content.
layoutX and layoutY will just increase your spacing from the previous declared control in that content.
