How to set field width and height at runtime programatically?

Hi all,
I want to set the width and height of a report field by reading its values from the database table.
Is it possible in Oracle reports?
How to achieve this in Oracle reports 10g?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks .... Best Regards
Bilal

You cannot give it a specific value. During design you can set Horizontal and Vertical Elasticity properties to Variable, so the items are automatically scaled when running the report.

Follow some CSS tutorials to learn more about it.
Here is a page with some links: http://www.google.com/search?q=css+tutorial
Then you're doing or interpreting something wrong. The methods are actually there. I can play with them in my playground and they are also described in the the HtmlCommandButton API: http://java.sun.com/javaee/javaserverfaces/1.2/docs/api/javax/faces/component/html/HtmlCommandButton.html

How to set the WIDTH and ALIGN of h:column in h:dataTable ??

How to set the WIDTH and ALIGN of <h:column> in <h:dataTable>??
Thanks a lot!

Hi,thanks to your reply.
Now I find a more convenient appraoch to set column's width and align respectively:
<h:dataTable ...>
<h:column>
<f:facet name='header'>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText style="width:80px; text-align: right;" value='#{row.fieldA}'/>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<f:facet name='header'>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText style="width:120px; text-align: left;" value='#{row.fieldB}'/>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
It works fine.

How to change the width and height of the visible part of the of the report

I have define a report with paper size 'Letter', orientation 'landscape' and 30 columns. Dynamically I am changing width of columns and suppressing many columns of the report.
Mostly using first 16-20 columns and others get suppressed.
Now problem is that when navigating the report thru crystal viewer, a huge blank spaces getting display on right of the report. When we take jump to some part of report thru navigation tree, the whole report gets shifted to left and only blank part is visible and it is required to scroll left.
Even printing is not working correctly.
Is there any way to change the width and height of the visible part of the report in the viewer thru .net classes? Setting the width and height of the report in Load event handler doesn't help.
Example: CrystalReportViewer1.Width = 200; - is not helping.
Is there any other solution?
Please let me know.
Thanks

Hi Yogesh,
Your suggestion 'reportDocument.PrintOptions.PaperSize=PaperSize.PaperLedger;' along with 'PaperOrientation' setting as follow works fine. I tried to switch between Landscape and Portrait depending on report width.
reportDocument.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape;
But problem with crystal viewer remain as it is.
While navigating report thru crystal viewer, when we take jump to some part of report thru navigation tree, the whole report gets shifted to left and it is required to scroll left.
Thanks for your very good suggestion.

How to set the width and heigh in the popup window

Hi All,
I tried to show a report in a popup window style.
In the column link section, I defined the URL like the following:
javascript:popupURL('f?p=&APP_ID.:128:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.::P128_PAY_RATE,P128_PAY_TERMS:#PAY_RATE#,#PAY_TERMS#'). how and where to set the height and width for page 128?
Thank you,
spark

Here is a sample of the JavaScript function I re-use that opens a popup window. You'll notice that it includes the width and height of the popup window:
function callTCPopup (formItem1) {
var formVal1 = formItem1;
var url;
url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:1111:&APP_SESSION.::::P1111_TC_ID:' + formVal1;
w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=800,height=600");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
}You could also look at using a Modal Page (Skillbuilders' plugin - watch the video for use).

Setting canvas width and height objectdraw

What does 'no clue' mean? That you have no clue if it is J2SE? The answer is no, it is not J2SE (or even a Sun standard extension like JavaHelp or JOGL). We know nothing about that API and can provide no help with it.
(And in future, try to make your replies specific enough that people do not have to 'guess' what you mean. That becomes irritating, very quickly.)
OTOH a brief perusal of the JavaDocs suggests the API has no component that extends Frame or JFrame, so the answer to your request that it use one of the methods of your custom library is "No, it provides no functionality to restrict the size of the frame the user is offered - since that frame will come from the J2SE".
Of course, if you simply wanted to ensure the drawing canvas is never resized, simply add it as a 'no args' element in a GridBagLayout with no other GUI components in it. If the GBL is used as described, the component will be centered within it. Add a JScrollPane to the component in case the user shrinks the frame smaller than the preferred size of the drawing area. In Java 1.6+, call setMinimumSize() after packing, and you can afford to lose the scroll pane.

Nested canvas in GridLayout can't get its width and height

Hello,
I have a class entitled DisplayCanvas, which will accept some parameters from an invocation in another class including a shape and message parameters. These parameters must be centered in the instance of DisplayCanvas.
For some reason, when I use this.getWidth() and this.getHeight() within my DisplayCanvas class, I get 0 and 0! I need the width and height in order to center the parameters the user will enter.
Why does the width and height result at 0? What can I do to get the width and height?

canWidth = this.getWidth();
canHeight = this.getHeight();
For some reason the result is 0 for each!

Sorry for glossing over your code sample, particularly as it looks like one of the best I've seen so far on the forums, but I'm pretty sure the answer you are looking for is as follows:
Java doesn't render a component until paint() is called so until then you are not going to have any size settings because the jvm simply doesn't know how big the visual component is. This makes sense when you think about what the jvm is doing. The layout manager controls the display of the components depending on the settings it is supplied. So until it knows how many components you want, where, what kind of spacing, etc, etc, etc, how can the size be determined.
The true cycle of events is therefore:
create an instance of DisplayCanvas,
add it to your container,
make the container visible (which renders the component),
get the size of the DisplayCanvas instance.
You are being hampered because your desired chain of events is:
create an instance of DisplayCanvas,
get the size of the DisplayCanvas instance,
add it to your container,
make the container visible.
This state of affairs is highly annoying and then leads to the next question "what do we do about that?". There is a cunning trick which is to get the jvm to render the component to an off-screen image, thus calculating the dimensions of the component so that you can do precisely the kind of enquiry on the object that you have been looking for. It should be noted that this may not be the visual size for all the reasons given above, but it is the "preferred size" for the component. Check the Swing tutorials and have a look at the section on Layout Managers for a run down on what that means.
Anyway, we can use this handy code sample to determine the preferred size for your component. Notice the call to "paint()" (normally you would never make a direct call to paint() in swing) and the "g.dispose()" to free resources:
package com.coda.swing.desktool.gui;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
public class PaintUtil
     public PaintUtil()
          super();
     public static Component paintBuffer(Component comp)
          Dimension size = comp.getPreferredSize();
          comp.setSize(size);
          BufferedImage img = new BufferedImage(size.width, size.height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
          Graphics2D g2 = img.createGraphics();
          comp.paint(g2);
          g2.dispose();
          return comp;
}Before you make a call to getWidth() or getHeight() put in a call to "PaintUtil.paintBuffer(this);" and see what happens.
By the way, I can't claim credit for this code ... and I really wish I could remember where I got it from myself so I can thank them :)

Changing video frame width and height...

In Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5 I cannot seem to produce (output) a video larger than frame width: 720 and frame height: 480. The video is recorded in full HD 1920 x 1080p but after editing and adding effects in Premiere Pro CS5, the video changes to only 720 x 480.
1) Where are the settings in Premiere Pro changed to produce a video size of frame width: 1280 and frame height: 720 or even frame width: 1920 and height: 1080?
2) Is it possible to produce a video at 1920 x 1080 or is 720 x 480 the max?
Your time is appreciated.

John,
For now I will be using the videos for youtube promos and viewing on desktops but if I were, I would more likely output to DVD. From what I understand it doesnt matter if I output 720 x 480 or 1920 x 1080 if it's going on youtube, however I would like the best quality video possible given that these videos wont be very long. (Elaborate on this if you can clear some stuff up for me).
Also, I may have mislead readers with my thread title "Changing video frame width and height." I guess a more accurate title would be "How to Change frame width and height of Video Output." Don't get me wrong 720 x 480 looks great on my desktop, but I would also like to output one at 1280 x 720?

Width and height of eps file

Please let me know on how to get the width and height of an eps file.
regards,
Sashi

Then you can read the properties from the list of file comments… (without opening in Illustrator) an example of the line would look like this…
%%HiResBoundingBox: 19.8906 4.45117 262.1094 63.5488
So read the file and use a regular expression to find this line… It is in 'points' but so is Illustrator scripting so you need calculate other measures if required…
I have a ready made function for this but its at home… I will post later if you have no luck with this…

How to set a minimum width and height for a stage or scene?

Hello,
Does anyone how to set a minimum width and height for a stage or scene?
I tried listening for width/height property value changes and then adjust the width/height if necessary, but that causes unpleasant flickering of the window.
In JavaFX 2.1 beta SDK for Mac OS, the Stage class has setMinWidth() and setMinHeight() functions which work very well.
I'm wondering what's the equivalent way to do that when using the FX SDK for Windows.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks.

I was wondering how to enforce a minimum stage size with JavaFX 2.0.3.The same flickering way you are currently doing it. See: http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-15200 "Need a way to set the minimum size of a window"

How to get WIDTH and HEIGHT fields from applet tag?

I am developing an applet using JDK1.1 (to ensure microsoft jvm compatability).
A problem I'm facing is that there are no getWidth() or getHeight() method for Applet in 1.1, so I am hoping I can get this info from my html: <APPLET CODE="MyApplet" WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=856></APPLET>
getParameter didn't work, so does anyone have any ideas how I could get the width and height?
Cheers,
James

Write a jpeg decoder that can figure out how to determine the width/height of a jpeg file? Google it.
Or if you're really lazy, load each jpeg using the
Toolkit.loadImage( URL ) function and use getWidth/getHeight from there, but that's slow.

Thank you so much for replying.
Yes I have removed and reinstalled WMP.
I had good results with the PD6 application installed on the default path onto the C: drive with the one exception that if the application was launched by accident and the user data path was not available, the PD6 application would blow away my custom user path registry settings. Now that I know what they are I have made a .reg file to repair my registry to my desired user data paths.
Installing the application on the removable drive appeared to help prevent me from launching the application by accident and overwriting my registry with default user paths.
So which is the less of the two evils?
If the application directory is not available, windows media player still tries to launch the .msi for installing PD6.
If I install the application to the C: drive but the user data to the removable drive, launching the PD6 application without the user data drive will still corrupt my registry settings for a user data path.
Both these issues seem like a logical (if not easy) fix that should be done in the PD6 application and installation package. I mean really, cannot anyone tell me why windows media player is checking the PD6 application directory? Why in PD4 did we have an option control for setting the user data path from the PD4 application? Why is this option not in the PD6 application, just the installer?
I am given a choice during installation to move the user data to another non default location. Why else would this be provided if not to accommodate my kind of request to store the user data into an alternate location other than “My Document”. Certainly Palm is not trying to force the users on how to protect and store their personal data?

How do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?

how do you create aligned interactive text boxs in a PDF with the same width and height?
Without free hand creating the sizing?

Assuming by "interactive text boxes" you mean form fields; in Acrobat, make a form field, then copy it and paste. (GIve the pasted copy a different name so they don't genetate the same field feedback.) Now you have two fields of the exact same size. Shift-click or marquee-drag to select both, then right-click and choose a command from the Align, Distribute or Center menu.

How to set field width and height at runtime programatically?
