Solved!
Go to Solution.

You could add code to your LabVIEW program to detect each new dialog, and to bring it to the front. I grabbed the following two links from a similar post, either link shows how to programmatically bring a window (LabVIEW or not) to the front:

How to re-show a dialog with the parent window

I am writing an Menu drivern application:
-- A JCMDIPane is put in the JFrame.
-- Multiple JCMDIFrames are added to the JCMDIPane via menu selecting events
-- Each JCMDIFrame (call it parent) may pop up a Dialog window (child) (Thes dialogs are modal)
Here is my problem:
When you switch away from this Java application to other applications (reading mauls, editing word documents, surfing web), of course, the Java program is hiding behind these applications and only left a Icon on your taskbar. The problem is that when switch back from other application to this Java program, However, it only shows the parent window (the JCMDIFrame ) and the child (the dialog) is behind. You have to using Alt_Tab to get the focus on the child and show it.
My question is:
Is there any way can we show the Dialog window is on the parent window (as it originally shown)?
I have tried to overwriting the paint method of JCMDIFrame :
public void paint(Graphics g)
super.paint(g);
if(child != null && child.isShowing())
child.setVisible(true);
This works on other applications but not on the Internet Explore (It always show the dialog).
Anybody can give me a clue?
Thanks!

When you pop up a dialog, if you use the constructor:
Dialog(Frame owner, boolean modal);
and pass it an instance of the parent frame (and set "modal" to "true"), then it is my understanding that it should always appear in front of the parent - are you sure this is what you are doing?
Double check by doing myDialog.getOwner() and make sure it's not null.

How can i show the dialog of certificates when tring to sign (like CAPICOM)

Hi,
I'm using "Windows-MY","SunMSCAPI" to choose a certificate from the keystore to sign a document.
1) Can i show a dialog containing the certificates in the key store like in CAPICOM?
2) To find a solution i 've found this code (CAPICOM + JAVA) her http://www.jensign.com/JavaScience/www/CertContext/CertContext.txt
when i compile it, "com.ms.com" et "capicom" are missing ??
Thank You in advance for any help

nbbbn wrote:
In the other words how can i call the *"certificate selection dialog box"* from source code?You can't " call the *"certificate selection dialog box"* from source code" as such. What one can do is iterate through the keys and certificates in the keystore and use the results to populate a dialog.
The problem I have is that you seem to not want to go through the documentation. Most people here will assist when you have problems but they do like to see some effort. If you had read though the JCE tutorial and done a Google search then you would have found out how process the content of a keystore. If at this point you still had a problem then posting the problem code would likely to be profitable but ...
Best of luck.

[Solved] standalone Gtk dialog: how to keep it above other windows?

i'm building a zenity-like program ( http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=71453 )
For some reason my WM (wmii) always treats it as a "full window" unlike zenity which is a small popup.
I want to have it behave like zenity. I studied the zenity source code but they use Glade which makes it hard to grasp.
i also made a test program to try out a variety of options, but all my attempts failed.
The attempts that need the root window failed because I couldn't figure out the correct way to get the root window. (apparently GDK_ROOT_PARENT(); does not work. I get glib assertion errors)
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
int main( int argc, char *argv[])
GtkWidget *window;
gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
GtkWidget * root = (GtkWidget *) GDK_ROOT_PARENT();
/* this is supposed to call gtk_window_set_type_hint() automatically
GtkWidget *dialog = gtk_dialog_new_with_buttons ("My dialog",
(GtkWindow *) root,
GTK_DIALOG_MODAL,
"title");
window = gtk_dialog_new();
gtk_window_set_transient_for ((GtkWindow *)window, (GtkWindow *)root);
gtk_window_set_keep_above ( (GtkWindow *) window, TRUE);
//gtk_window_set_type_hint (GTK_WINDOW (window), GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DIALOG);
//gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window), "Center");
// gtk_window_set_default_size(GTK_WINDOW(window), 230, 150);
// gtk_window_set_position(GTK_WINDOW(window), GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER);
gtk_widget_show(window);
g_signal_connect_swapped(G_OBJECT(window), "destroy",
G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit), NULL);
gtk_main();
return 0;

a more complete example, also demonstrates how you can add your own stuff to the dialog
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
void on_response (GtkDialog *dialog, gint response, gpointer data);
int main(int argc, char **argv)
GtkWidget *dialog, *content, *label, *box, *image;
gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
dialog = gtk_dialog_new();
gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(dialog), "Center");
gtk_window_set_default_size(GTK_WINDOW(dialog), 230, 150);
gtk_window_set_position(GTK_WINDOW(dialog), GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER);
gtk_window_set_keep_above(GTK_WINDOW(dialog), TRUE);
gtk_window_set_skip_pager_hint(GTK_WINDOW(dialog), TRUE);
gtk_window_set_skip_taskbar_hint(GTK_WINDOW(dialog), TRUE);
gtk_dialog_add_button(GTK_DIALOG(dialog), "title", GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT);
gtk_dialog_add_button(GTK_DIALOG(dialog), "(11) Ok", 11);
/* the vbox that holds the content_area */
content = gtk_dialog_get_content_area(GTK_DIALOG(dialog));
box = gtk_hbox_new(FALSE, 0);
label = gtk_label_new("Hello, World!");
image = gtk_image_new_from_stock(GTK_STOCK_DIALOG_INFO, GTK_ICON_SIZE_DIALOG);
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(box), image);
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(box), label);
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(content), box);
/* emitted when the window is closed */
g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(dialog), "delete-event", G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit), NULL);
/* emitted when a button is clicked */
g_signal_connect(G_OBJECT(dialog), "response", G_CALLBACK(on_response), NULL);
gtk_widget_show_all(dialog);
gtk_main();
return 0;
void on_response (GtkDialog *dialog, gint response, gpointer data)
GtkWidget *label;
(void)data;
switch (response) {
case GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT:
/* what to do when this signal is received */
g_print("you clicked on title\n");
break;
case 11:
gtk_main_quit();
break;

How do you show all open windows in all applications?

Previous to Lion, I used to be able to go to a hot corner and all of the open windows in all applications would appear neatly side by side. Now I get stacks of windows grouped by application. How can I go back to the old way where every window was visible? This is helpful in Photoshop when I need to see all of the images I am working on and all of the images on my website in Safari.

You don't have a hot-corner for that anymore.
You use a gesture for that now. You can either 4-finger swipe down, or place the tips of your fingers in the center of your track pad. Your fingers should be bunched up and touching each other. To show all windows, expand your fingers, as if you were showing someone "5" on your fingers.

Safari keeps showing the same windows asking to confirm my age on a forum

Hello.
Does anyone knows how to settle this. I mean I'm chatting over several forum : psychology, sexuality... and there's a pop-up which asks you to confirm that you are over 15yo. On Firefox I answered once then it has never reappeared but on safari it keeps bugging me out.
So does anyone knows how to fix this?

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
In Safari, click the Preferences icon right side of browser window and then click: Block Pop-Up Windows, or on your keyboard Ctrl + Shift + K.
You can also turn off Pop Up Windows from Edit/Block Pop Up Windows.
If you see a pop up window, never click on any links it may provide as you could be inviting malware so just close the window.

How to keep showing items created in current month for 5more days only in the next month by OOB functionality only

Hi,
I have a Time Reporting site where users log in their time twice a month.This site uses only Out Of Box functionality. There is no scope for coding in my site.
In the list i have created a view which shows the Time Report of the user logged in for the current month only.
There is a new requirement : Current month's Time Report should be visible to the users in the next month for 5 starting days of the month only so that users can edit this month's Time Report in the next month's 1st 5days incase they forget to edit it in
the current month.
e.g: If i am absent on the last day of the month , my time report for this month(March) should be visible for 5 days in April so that i can stiil edit March's time report. However after 5days the Time Report for March should not be visible. After 5days only
April's time report will be visible when submitted(April's time report).
Please can anybody help me out with this.
Regards ,
Guru

Hi Guru, you have a couple of options: 1) set a retention schedule through the list's settings> Information Management Policy Settings. Where the start date < start date + 35.
2) create a view and filter by the date like above.
These aren't perfect scenarios, but will get you close to what you want.

How to keep playing when Premiere window not on focus?

I make home movies in Premiere, which means putting together a lot of spontaneous clips.
Because of that, I must censor them on the editing table so that no disgusting, gossipy or insulting comment gets burned to a disc and sent to my relatives.
Adobe Premiere stops playing as soon as any other window gains focus, which means that I am forced to watch the entire project (2 hours) even though I only want to listen to it, perhaps whilst I could be browsing the web, chatting, etc.
Is there a way I can force Premiere to play the project while being in the background?
Thank you.
P.S. The same thing happens with Encore.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
disgusting, gossipy or insulting comment
No wonder Premiere stops.
Make sure your machine is up to date with all the latest drivers.

How to automatically show print dialog as soon as pdf opens?

A pdf template was created using adobe livecycle, then the final pdf is created using pdfMerger. Is there a way to invoke the print dialog as soon as the pdf is open?

You might want to ask in the LiveCycle Designer forum, but in general, you just need to execute a print statement in an event that triggers when the document is opened, such as docReady:
event.target.print();

How to ensure "show context help" window is displayed on startup

Hello All,
I'm in process of preparing an application installer to be built, and am wondering if there's a way to ensure the context help window is presented to the user by default when they start up the application? I couldnt find any properties, methods or setup configurations that allow this to happen.
Thank You
-Ted

The context help window is an item of the Development Environment.
What you could do is an mouse enter, and mouse leave event registring for all controls (VI->controls[]) and use the tip-strip/description to output to a window.

How to show a dialog in fullscreen mode

My main class is a JFrame, with a JTree in the left and panel in the right.
one of the right panels has to show in fullscreen mode, here is the code:
GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
                GraphicsDevice gd = ge.getDefaultScreenDevice();
                JWindow win = new JWindow(gd.getDefaultConfiguration());
                win.add(currentPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
                //the currentPanel here is the panel on the right of the JFrame
                gd.setFullScreenWindow(win);
                win.validate();then i want to show a dialog on the fullscreen, which u noe, we have to give (Frame, modal) to the JDialog, so i could only give the dialog the JFrame beneath the fullScreen panel as the dialog's parent......then the dialog wont be shown.....How can i show the dialog?
Best Regards

Then setUndecorated(true) and then do what the previous post said.
You probably would then want to give your user a way to get out of it.

How to create a dialog window with no button that opens along with the main window?

When the main window is open, the dialog window opens up immediately and can be closed by key press. At other times, when the next step, ie: decision, comes to, the another dialog window pops up again and is again closed by key press. Does anyone know how to do? Use the sub-Vi? notification method? occurrence method?
And another thing: how to create a reusable dialog window with no button so that different messages can be sent to it and it can closed by key press. And how to pass the string to the title of the dialog window programmatically?

For your functionality (If I understand it right), nothing needs to be in the event structure. Pressing any key just triggers the event, thus finishing the VI (there is no while loop).
Could you tell me what you mean my "it won't run properly"? Make sure that the front panel of the subVI is closed before starting the main VI. Remember that the subVI is set to "open when called" and "close afterwards if originally closed". So, if you had the panel open already, it won't of course close when finished!
(Actually, the problems is worse when you have the subVI panel open when starting the main VI. you get a catch22 and labVIEW locks up because (1) the subVI is set to dialog and grabs all attention but (2) it has not been
called, thus the event cannot be triggered. So don't do that!!!! As a quick workaround, add the modification shown in the attached image to ensure the panel of the subVI is closed.)

An OS before 10.10 provided shortcut f10 to "show all open windows". How do we do that with 10.10?

It Has been very convenient at times to review all open windows, especially when working on multiple projects that clutter the desktop. Without the f10 shortcut, I can't easily find my way through the mishmash piled high on my desktop. How do we "show all open windows" with Yosemite??

I'm guessing you are referring to "Mission Control" - the keyboard shortcut for this is set in "System Preferences" then "Mission Control" and I think the default when the system is first setup is F3, not F10. So check out "System Preferences" and see what it currently is and if you want to change it to the F10 go ahead and change it there, along with any of the other shortcuts you might have had before with the previous OS X version.
Good luck...
