How to make awt modal dialog to NOT appear on top of existing windows

Hi,
I am working on a program that displays awt modal dialog box when it needs some action from the user. My problem is that the modal dialog box cann't be top window as there is one VC++ window that needs to be always top window. Another requirement I must satisfay is that there should not be any flickling. I've tried with setAlowaysOnTop(false), dialog.toBack(), transferFocus(), etc but with no avail. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Note: This thread was originally posted in the Swing forum, but moved to this forum for closer topic alignment.

Simple Question: How to make a text subpicture highlight not appear by default?

I'm sure I am missing some very easy one-button solution here, but here goes...
I have a menu with just one single button on it. I have the 'Create Text Subpicture' box checked in the button properties panel. What I want is for the highlight to appear only when I roll over the button. But when I preview the menu, the button highlight is on automatically. It functions just fine. I just need to solve this one little highlight issue.
Is it as easy as I am thinking it is?
Thanks!

How to make a modal frame?

Hello!
My problem is quite simple, but I don't know how to make some MODAL frames (JFrame I mean). In my application, the user can open a same frame even if this frame is already opened and that's not really good.
So, I want the user to close the frame before opening another one.
Can anyone explain me how to do that?

Generally your actionListener will be an internal class of your main frame class. Usually an anonymous internal class. That means it can act on variables in the frame (which is the sensible place to keep the flags).
Something like:
class Class1 extends JDesktop {
boolean itsOpen = false;
openAction.setActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    if(!itsOpen) {
       itsOpen = true;
       openAction.setEnabled(false);
       MyInternalFrame newFrame = new MyInternalFrame(Class1.this, ....);
       add(newFrame);
   });You do need some way for the internal frame to act on the variables in the main frame. There are various ways of achieving this.
If we're dealing with a genuine InternalFrame there's a special InternalFrameListener (?) which allows your main frame to listen for the window closing. You can use this instead of hacking the dispose method.
If you're main frame is a JDeskTop then you can use getDesktop() in your internal frame to access it, then cast the result to the real class of your desktop.
Our you can simply add a pointer to your class1 to the contructor of your internal frame class.
You could even get clever and create your own listener system.

Modal dialog does not close until function finish

Hello
I am a modal dialog (yes/no buttons). When user selects YES, a function is executed. My problem is: Dialogo does not close until function finish.
Many thanks for your help.
This is the call to show modal dialog:
boolean myRes;
dlgYesNo.setTitle(" SINCRONIZE");
dlgYesNo.setPreguntaUp("�Do you want to sincronize?");
dlgYesNo.show();
myRes = dlgYesNo.respDialogo();
if (!myRes) return; // User selects NO
sincronizeData(); //MODAL DIALOG DOES NOT CLOSE UNTIL THIS FUNCTION FINISH!!!

How to make selection parameter gray out, not changeble mode

How to make this parameter gray out, not changeable mode.
Thanks in advance

See comments below
Edited by: Rob Burbank on Jul 1, 2009 12:43 PM

Hi,
For the parameters required, while declaring them use the MODIF ID, lets say you have choosen the modif id as SC1.
i.e. parametes: p_mat type matnr DEFAULT '100' MODIF ID SC1.
Then in the initialization event, code as below.
    LOOP AT SCREEN.
      IF screen-group1 = 'SC1'.
        screen-input = '0'.
        MODIFY SCREEN.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
It will work.

How to make oracle is case insentive ( not case sensitive)

SqlServer by default is NOT case sensitive (data content) while Oracle by default is case sensitive (data content).
please help me to give the solution
How to make oracle is case insentive ( not case sensitive)
if there is anyway to make Oracle behave like SqlServer changing NLS settings or any other Oracle settings?
I have solution for application level . it is working fine
Possible solutions:
1. You want to store data case insensitive: do an 'insert...
values(upper('Abcd'))...'.
This will put your data in upper case into the tables.
2. Your data will be mixed-case and you want to select them case
insensitive:
create 'function based indexes' on every column you want to use in
your where-clauses.
Then 'select ... where <column_name> = 'ABCD'.

What version of Oracle? Oracle 10g has a capability that can toggle this feature on and off at the session level. Prior versions do not.
For prior versions you usually have to make use of the upper and/or lower functions in your queries. Sometimes a function based index, FBI, is used to handle this.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 AirPlay Mirroring is compatible with Mid 2011 and newer MacBooks Air, and OS X Mountain Lion.
As you have Mac OS X Snow Leopard, you haven't got a compatible MacBook Air, so you can't use AirPlay Mirroring. However, you can use a third-party app as AirParrot to mirror the MacBook onto your Apple TV > http://www.airparrot.com

Is there a way to make labview messages always appear on top of all windows?

I have a main VI running and a user selects a non-Labview window to work on. Is there a way make the user prompt or user input express VI messages appear on top of all windows? I have experimented with the "make window always on top.vi" from the NI website. That brings the VI that is running to the top but not the prompt for the express VI message. I have also used the "make window always on top.vi" in a sub-VI and called that sub-VI to be always on top and it works. I was just wondering if there was a way to do it with the express VIs that NI already has written instead of making a custom message the way I have mentioned.
Thanks,
Troy

If you only need to display a prompt and can get by with a limited set of canned buttons (OK, Cancel, Retry, Continue, etc.), you can try a VI that calls the Windows API MessageBox function. You can display a message box with user-defined title, text and buttons. There is an option to use the system modality which is what you want in this case. I use my own version of this all the time for that very reason.
