How to make lines I draw as an objects??

Hi friends:
I met a problem here, I find a similiar code below, but cannot solve it.
How to make lines I draw as objects in this application??
ie the lines I draw will be selectable as other JLabels, can be highlighted, can be deleted etc, just like any other components or object,
How to do this??

How to make a text "drawer" in iWeb

Does anyone know how to make a text "drawer" in iWeb? What I mean is when you click on a hyperlink to read more text, but instead of opening up a new page, it makes the text appear below the link on the same page.

Anything fancy with iWeb has to be done in the HTML Snippet or after publishing the page.
Find the code for the drawer, apply it and show us the result.
Perhaps not the drawer you had in mind but this is something near:

How to make multi user drawing application

how to make multi user drawing application in as 3.0

I'd suggest using Flash Media Interactive Server if you wish to make this type of application and use Flash as the interface. I can't give you the details on exactly how to implement it, but using Remote Shared Object and FMIS would serve as the basis. I believe that the package comes with examples of Shared Objects that can serve as a simple basis from which to proceed. After that you might want to see if you can find an available whiteboard app that can be leveraged to do as you wish.
I apologize in advance if using this type of solution is a non-starter, I've been using FMIS locally and have plans to eventually implement something similar to this type of drawing app as well.

How to make lines for "fill in the blanks?" (iWork Pages 09)

This should be easy since it's something many people do: design a form for others to fill out with a pen or pencil. However, I can't find any information regarding how to make a line after text, like this:
Name _________________ Address _________________________________ Phone __________
...without using the underline character.
Back on the Clarisworks days there was some way to make nice neat lines after text using tabs. However, It's been so long that I can't recall how it worked. I've Googled this issue using every logical term I can think of but found nothing useful. The Pages 09 help file and the user guide seem to be mute on this subject. The Word 2008 help file is similarly silent. However, I'm sure that the greater Pages community knows the answer to this one.
Thanks,
Bill

What you want is called a tab leader. In Pages, to create the underline:
To create a new tab stop using the Text inspector, click in the document where you want to create a new tab stop, click Inspector in the toolbar, and then click Tabs. Click the Add button in the bottom-left corner of the Tabs pane. The new tab stop appears in the Tab Stops column.
Then use the Leader drop down menu to choose a solid line:

How to make line-in come out rear speakers? (SB Live! 5

Card is SB Li've! 5. DE and OS is XP SP2:
================================
I have tried everything that I can think of. It was working fine until I installed a program which screwed up my mixer settings. I have loaded the default mixer settings. Now my rear speakers only work for wave devices, but not line-in.
Is there a way to make line-in come out both the front and rear speakers, or set the rear speakers to duplicate the front speakers (losing the surround feature)?
Failing that I will have to resort to plugging both sets of speakers into the one socket via an adapter - I don't wish to do this as I had this working for many months.
Please help.

Weird. I just installed Creative PlayCenter from the driver CD and after the reboot, line-in now comes out the rear speakers again. Must've been some system files updated or something, because CMSS is still off according to PlayCenter. When I turn CMSS on, the line-in stops coming out rear, but turning it off makes it work!!!! So it's sorted, but still have no idea why it screwed up and why I needed PlayCenter installed to change the CMSS settings.

How do I make that grid into a background objective so that I can draw lines and similar things on top of it without it moving? Intending to use it as a coordinate system/grid/plane (or whatever it is called in English, but the thing refuses to stay still whatever I do to it. :/

How to make a curve to join two objects editable?

Hi, I'm involved in a project in which we're doing a visual editor (written in Java). Now, I'm trying to make curves that join two different objects that I'm painting in a class that extends JPanel (this class is what I'm using to paint, inside a JFrame, overriding the method paintComponent). I'm in troubles because I'm using the class QuadCurve2D to make this, but I cannot make it clickable (I'm using the method contains, but it doesn't work everytime), make it editable (for example, setting a square in its middle point to modify its curvature. The point that is used on the middle of the QuadCurve2D when the constructor is called is outside the curve) or something (method, variable, iterator, etc) that could tell me which Points are in the QuadCurve2D.
After looking for all of that some time, I have no answer, so I'm trying posting it here to find a solution. Is there anyway to make it with the QuadCurve2D class, or do I have to try with some external library?

Used the Pen tool, but click on the correct icon on the top left on the Options Bar. That way you can get a Path instead of a Shape Layer.
Once you have your Path you can stroke it with a Brush or any drawing tool. Various options appear in the Brushes palette. For a dotted line you will need to increase the spacing. If you want dashes, use a square brush and set the Angle Jitter to Direction.

How to make a glow around a person/object?

I want to just have a glow behind someone. I know I could make a layer behind it, draw a soft line all the way around the object, and then blur it, but is there an easier way? Maybe something that could make an automatic outline of an object? Thanks in advanced.

Make your selection with one of the selection tools. I used the Magic Extractor
Place the selection on its own layer, and make the selection active (CTRL+left click the layer thumbnail) - should see marching ants
Go to Layer>Layer Styles>Style Settings
Check outer glow and set the parameters for the glow.

How to make the new drawing line on the old form?

I have been reading about Java about 2 months, and now I have to start my first project within this week. I still don't know how to do it!!! I have to get the info from the keyboard to draw a line on the old form of the original project. Please tell me what I should study more, the applet or the java bean. This form will be shown on the website, but I'm not sure that the applet is the right or the java bean is the right one. Yes, now I'm very confusing!!!
Thanks in advance for all reply :)

How to make lines in GridLayout?

overridding paintComponent probably won't work, because the children will paint over it. Not if the opaque has been set. Also, I wonder if the "gaps" will show through even if the children keep opaque true.
Yep, you can do this by setting the background color of the panel to the column line color you desired, and let this color "shine through" the gaps in the grid layout:

How to make line chart start at y-axis?

How do you make the series on a line chart start at the y-axis? I tried adding a data point for y(x=0), but the Xcelsius graph drops it and starts with y(x=1). How do I fix that? This is especially important for series that need to start at zero.
