Icon (*.ico) files in developer 6i

Hi Guys and Gals,
I have just installed developer 6i on my computer which runs with Windows 98 operating system. Every thing works properly but only one funnything is i found only four or five icon files (.ico) in my harddisk. Then searched in the windows registry to see in which directory these icon files are located, unfortunately i couldn't find out any registry entry for icons. (It's usual - If icon's are not there means why registry entry for icons?.) So now my toolbar buttons are almost naked except save and exit buttons, i don't know from where only these two buttons got icons.
Any one had the same problem?
Please give me a solution.
With regards
Rahman.

Hi,
The icons in webforms have to be in .gif or .jpg format. This is because the webform user interface is handled by java and java uses .gif or .jpg instead of .ico files.
In order to display icons on web, you will have to set the icons path in Registry.dat file. The Registry.dat file is located in ORACLE_HOME\FORMS60\JAVA\ORACLE\FORMS\REGISTRY\.
You need to create a directory mapping for the web listener and add the virtual directory to the 'iconpath' setting in the Registry.dat file.
For eg, if you have the following directory mapping in your web listner,
C:\ORANT\webdb\images\ /images/
then, edit the Registry.dat file as follows,
default.icons.iconpath=/images/
Now, all the icons are searched in C:\ORANT\webdb\images
Note that, when you change the Registry.dat file, you need to stop and restart the Forms server listener in order for the changes to become active.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Deepak Rai

Saving .ico files from PE10?

Hi
I downloaded and installed a copy of Photoshop Elements 10 to run in Windows 8, because it won't let me run my CS3 which is installed in Windows 7 unless I deregister it first.
My problem is that after installing the pluggin when I try and save an Icon (.ico) file it always says "Could not save D:\...\Explorer "name of flile" .ico because of a disk error".
I can save in any other format with no problem, the file is't too big I do this a lot in my other Photoshop installation.
I also notice that when I open the save window I can not see the other .ico files in the folder, which I'm pretty sure I can when I open it with Photoshop CS3.
Anyone have any idea what's going on here?
Also are all pluggings created equal?
I just downloaded this on from some place at random, is there a recommnended site to get these things.
I tried to find a place to get it from Adobe but no luck when I searched their site.
Is there an Adobe source for pluggins?
Thanks for the help,
Mike

Hi
Just recently I had to restore my computer to it's original configuration.
At that time I reinstalled all the Adobe software and had to reauthorize it.
It was on the same computer but it's possible that it saw that as a second installation I suppose.
I did have some of this software installed on my previous computer, but officially removed it when I moved it to my present computer.
I tried running the software from Windows 8 in it's original location as well, while most of my software, things like Poser, and even Premiere Elements 10 would run without being installed in 8, but my Adobe Graphics Arts software would not.
I have Photoshop Elements 10 installed now so I'll stick with it and give it to a friend when I go back to working in Windows 7.
By the way, I really like Windwos 8 now that I've figured out how to use it without the Start Page,
It's now a lot differet the Widows 7 but doess run faster on my computer and boot times are great, about 40 seconds on my computer with all my fonts and sofware installed.
And has some nice feature like the built in merge application when you copy and paste to a folder with common files.
Thanks for the help.

JWS - JNLP - icon using .ico-files?

After reading the enhancements here http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/javaws/enhancements6.html
I tried to use .ICO-files in the JNLP-<icon>-Tag without success. Also .PNG-files don't work.
The search with google also found only questions but no answers.
Additionally I only found samples using .GIF-files!
We want to use "rounded" pictures for desktop links, thus we need a format with transparent colors support.
Additionally we want to have the ability to use different sizes depending on desktop settings.
The .ICO-file format - out of the box - supports both of that!
Does anyone has a RUNNING sample-JNLP using an .ICO-file or .PNG-file? Or can point me to a solution to that problem?
Running: Java 1.6.0.22, Windows XP & Windows 7
Thanks in advance

Hello,
have you took the application/x-java-archive-diff MIME type into your tomcat-web.xml?
I have found this in the jnlp-specifications:
>
6.3 Version-based Download Protocol
For the version-based download protocol, all resources are uniquely identified by a URL/version-id pair. Thus, a JNLP Client can at any given time request a specific version of a resource located at a specific URL.
The JNLP Client issues an HTTP GET request that includes the specific version of the resource that it needs. The request includes the field version-id, which specifies the requested version. For example, given the following jar element:
<jar href="http://www.mysite.com/b.jar" version="2.3+"/>
then the JNLP Client must issue the following HTTP GET request14:
http://www.mysite.com/c.jar?version-id=2.3%2B
The JNLP Client must examine the HTTP response status code and MIME type to determine if the result was successful. The valid responses are described in section 6.1.2. For the above jar element, the application/x-java-archive-diff MIME type cannot be returned. It can only be returned for incremental requests.
The version string used in the request is not necessarily exact, e.g., 2.3+. The Web server must specify the exact version-id of the resource that is returned in the response by setting the HTTP header field: x-java-jnlp-version-id. The exact version returned must be one that matches the requested version string.
6.3.1 Incremental Updates for JAR files
JNLP allows incremental updates to be applied to JAR files. Typically, downloading an incremental update will be much faster than downloading the new version. Incremental updates are distributed in the form of JARDiff files, which are described in Appendix B.
If the JNLP Client has a previous version of a given JAR file already cached, e.g., version 2.2, then this fact can be specified in the request. The Web server can then potentially provide an incremental update that can be applied to the existing file, instead of returning the contents of the new file.
An incremental update is enabled by providing information about the version that is already cached by the JNLP Client in the HTTP request. The field current-version-id is used to specify the existing local version. For example:
http://www.mysite.com/c.jar?version-id=2.3%2B&current-version-id=2.2
The current-version-id must always be exact. If several versions of a given resource are in the cache, then the highest version-id that is lower than the requested version should be used. The Web server is not required to return an incremental update, but could just return the requested JAR file.
The returned contents of the response are the same as for the request without the current-version-id field, except that a JARDiff file might be returned. In that case, the response MIME type must be application/x-java-archive-diff.

Wants to get some info about .ico file usage in InDesign

Hi
There is some .ico file used in a project.
In the .rc file, resouce information is define and given a numeric id to this resouce file.
Then this numeric id is #defined in the ID.h file and used where needed in .fr panel for display a picture on a panel. Things are working well in ms window os as I think .rc file is meant for this platform.
But On mac what more changes I have to do in my project so that I can use these .ico files.
Thanks

You can use the PNG based resources, these files are platform independent files and can be used both in the MAC and Win version of your plugin. For the approach you are currently using you will have to create MAC specific resource file(.r or .rsrc) file just as you create the .rc file for windows.
For using the PNG based resource all you need is to define a resource as follows
resource PNGA(kYourIconResourceID) "Icon.png" in the .fr file
and also define the "kYourIconResourceID" in the id.h file and you are all set to use the png file both in WIN and MAC plugins. All the application tools icon use png file, so this is the preferred platform independent way to go.

ICO file not displaying at run time?

Hello Experts,
I an using fusion 11.1.2.1 32 bit. I have Copied the Icons as well as GIF files in C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_FRHome1\forms\java folder.
At button property i set Iconic to yes
and file = addrow
Icon not display at run time.
but when i set file = abc.GIF
image is displaying at run time.
My doubt is that ICO file not displaying at run time while GIF file are displaying.
Do i need to change configuration ?
Please do the needful.
Thanks
Yash

Hi Yash,
First Try this steps
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
Double-click My Computer, and then click Options on the View menu.
Verify that the Icon file type appears on the File Types tab. If the Icon file type does not appear in the Registered File Types box, skip to step 10.
Click Icon in the Registered File Types box, and then click Edit.
Verify that the following settings exist, and then click OK:
The Description Of Type box contains Icon.
If there is a Confirm Open After Download check box, it should be selected.
If the settings do not appear exactly as listed in step 4, click Remove, click Yes, and then click OK. If the settings do appear as listed in step 4, skip to step 10.
Click New Type.
In the Description Of Type box, type Icon.
In the Associated Extension box, type ICO.
Click OK, and then click Close.
Use Registry Editor to view theHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.icokey, and then verify that the default string contains the following value:icofileIf the .ico key does not exist, create it, and then insert the value listed above. If any other values exist in the .ico key, delete them.
Use Registry Editor to view theHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\icofilekey, and then verify that the default string contains the following value:iconIf the icofile key does not exist, create it, and then insert the value listed above. If any other values exist, delete them.
Create a new key in the icofile key called DefaultIcon , and type %1 as this key's default value.
Quit Registry Editor, and then restart your computer.
Second Try this
Simple way
Copy your images to:
1
c:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\forms\java\
Notes:
- Icon files may not be supported.
- In case of a Java security issue when using gif images, you will need to create a jar file and sign it with oracles sign-tool (see below, point 6).
- In case you having trouble with oracle’s sign-tool, do it directly with java’s
Recommended way
1. Create a “icons” folder and place all your gifs in there
i.e. “c:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\forms\java\<icons>”
2. From within icons folder make a jar file of all the gif images:
1
jar -cvf frmicons.jar *.gif
3. Copy this new jar into “c:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\forms\java\”
4. Edit/update formsweb.cfg file:
path = c:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\<my_domain>\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_FORMS\applications\formsapp_11.1.1\config\formsweb.cfg …to update/include:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
# Forms applet parameter
codebase=/forms/java
# Forms applet parameter
imageBase=codebase
# Forms applet archive setting for other clients (Sun Java Plugin...etc)
archive=frmall.jar,frmicons.jar
# Forms applet archive setting for JInitiator
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,frmicons.jar
5. Edit/update Registry.dat file:
path = c:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\<my_domain>\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_FORMS\applications\formsapp_11.1.1\config\forms\registry\oracle\forms\registry\Registry.dat
1
2
default.icons.iconpath=icons/
default.icons.iconextension=gif
At this point your icons should work normally, but if you get a security check of Java for gif files then proceed to the next step to fix this. TIP: May need to restart the weblogic/forms server for changes to take effect.
6. Sign your jar file with oracles sign_webutil.bat sign-tool.
path = c:\Oracle\Middleware\asinst_1\bin\sign_webutil.bat
Firstly, you need to edit the sign_webutil.bat as follows:
1
2
3
SET KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=my_password
SET JAR_KEY=webutil2 # will need to change for every run
SET JAR_KEY_PASSWORD=my_password
Secondly, set the environment path and finally run the command:
1
2
3
set path=c:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\jdk\bin
cd c:\Oracle\Middleware\asinst_1\bin\
sign_webutil c:\Oracle\Middleware\as_1\forms\java\my_icons.jar
This will create your signed jar file. Once initialized from the web-app it should ask the user to “Trust” the certificate and never prompt again.
Other issues you may encounter and may need to edit/update the following files/registry entries as well:
formsweb.cfg
path = c:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\<my_domain>\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_FORMS\applications\formsapp_11.1.1\config\formsweb.cfg

archive=frmall.jar, my_icons.jar
...or
# Forms applet archive setting for JInitiator
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar, my_icons.jar
Registry.dat
path = c:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\<my_domain>\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_FORMS\applications\formsapp_11.1.1\config\forms\registry\oracle\forms\registry\Registry.dat

Hope this will help.

How can we put .ICO file on JButton instead of JPG or GIF etc. files

How can we put .ICO(Icon file) file on JButton instead of JPG or GIF etc. files
Regards
Satinderjit

Short answer:
You don't. ICO files are a native windows format.
Workarounds:
1) Convert your files to GIF.
2) Search for a library that can load ICO files.
3) Write a library that can load ICO files.

Creating ImageIcon from .ICO files

Can i use an icon (.ICO) to create an Icon or an ImageIcon for a JButton?
Thank you

if you save it as a .gif file, you CAN make it transparent. use paint in windows, or grip in unix... i know for sure that these graphics editors can make a .gif background transparent.

Show an ico file in an HTML Air app

Hi,
I have an air app, of the HTML variety, and I'd like to be
able to show .ico files in it.
In Safari/Webkit you can do this:
<img src="
http://somedomain.com/favicon.ico"
width="16" height="16" />
But it doesn't work in Air.
I've seen this Flex app that can render ico files:
http://flexlib.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/examples/IconLoader/IconLoader_Sample.swf
Using the IconLoader custom Flex Component:
http://code.google.com/p/flexlib/wiki/ComponentList
Is there a similar workaround that anyone knows?
Thanks in advance

The icon loading code you reference is ActionScript, so you
could convert it into a utility for turning icons into png files --
along with a PNG encoder, of course -- which is also available in
an AS library on Google code. (You can load a SWF utility into a
page using the script tag.) You could then load the converted png
file for display.
ASFAIK, the only way to bridge the image gap between
ActionScript and JavaScript is through the HTML clipboard, and that
requires a user-generated paste event before you can access
it.

Firefox not displaying favicon/.ico file for specific website

Firefox has always displayed the favicon for my website, until recently. Now there is just a blank space where the favicon should be. I am able to see the favicon for all other websites except my own. It is a wordpress site, so I followed their most recent instructions for adding a favicon. I even tried some other guidelines and tips for adding .ico files, just in case wordpress was missing something, but still no luck. I have double-checked the file format as a 16x16px .ico file and made sure the code & image location within my website directory was correct... Everything looks as it should. The favicon is displaying perfectly in all other browsers I tried, such as Chrome, Safari, Opera & IE. I have cleared my cache, cleared my browser history and even uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox. I also tried another computer using a different IP address. It just isn't displaying.
When I preview the .ico file under 'page info -> media' it looks like Firefox is locating the image and recognizing the file dimensions, but nothing appears in the preview window and under 'file size' it just says "unknown (not cached)."
Here is the link to the site: http://www.mattielynn.com/
Does anyone know why this might be happening?

That image doesn't seem to be working in Firefox 3 and 8 (works in Firefox 9 and later).
It works if I save it as 24 bit instead of 32 bit.

ICO files in Win8/10

I have an ICO file that I made in Windows 7, which includes image sizes up to 256 pixels. I use it as an alternate icon for a shortcut that launches PowerShell, and in Windows 7 this icon is used in Windows Explorer for the shortcut itself, and
in the Task Bar when the script is running as well as in the title bar of the PowerShell console window. However, in Windows 8.1 only the console window uses this icon, I get a blank white box in Windows Explorer and the Task Bar. Is there something new in
Windows 8 with regards to ICO files that accounts for this? I have assigned an arbitrary icon and gotten the expected behavior, so I assume I just need to revise the ICO file to work with Windows 8.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Gordon

Hmm, curiouser and curiouser. It seems the issue isn't the ICO file, it's permissions. The ICO file is on a share, and I have full permissions to the share. I can navigate to it, modify files, and and delete, what have you. BUT, when I go to manually change
the icon and point at the ICO on the network, I get an error that I don't have permission to see inside the share at all. Again, works fine in Windows 7 with the same user account, and outside of the Change Icon dialog everything works. I have verified the
behavior on multiple shares, and I have UAC turned completely off.
Thoughts?

Icon from file

Is there anyway possible to get the (windows) icon from a program file?? Like getting the (windows) Explorer icon from explorer.exe??
I watched the API class File, but i couldn't find anything.
You can get a file with
File program = new File("D:\winamp.exe");
but this doesnt work
Icon ico = program.getIcon();
Can anyone help me with this??

Do I correctly understand that you want to read the icon image that Windows finds when it displays shortcuts or when it displays the little icon in the top-left-hand corner of the window? Sort of the opposite of Frame.setIconImage(), but for a non-Java program?
I think you would have to find out the format of how these icons are stored, then read the file and interpret it yourself.
Alternatively, if you know in advance the program, you can copy the icon into the clipboard (use the "Print Screen" button); copy that into Paint or other suitable image program; cut and save just the icon as a GIF or JPG; and then load that into your program.
Not straightforward, I know, but I don't believe Java has a facility for this.

Why won't my favicon show up when the code and the favicon.ico file are correct? I am using Dreamweaver CC.

I have tried numerous .ico file makers and am using the code <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" /> in the <head> section and the favicon.ico sits above the index file, but it is not showing up on the tab in Firefox or IE. I have also tried numerous designs, as I thought that might be the problem -- here are a couple and . What am I doing wrong? I have tried everything and Googled everything. I also use PC, but I hope that doesn't stop the Mac users from helping me.

Thank you Jon. As I mentioned to Nancy, the Favicon finally showed up this morning. But also thank you for another time saving piece of advice that saved me a lot of time and effort and is not mentioned anywhere. You are so right, "There's really no reason to add the code in the <head> if the favicon.ico is in your site root. Simply placing it there will do the trick in all browsers." I only put the code on my index page because I wasn't sure it would ever show up, and lo and behold, when it finally did this morning, it did on all pages and they had no code.
It is unfortunate that on all the websites (and I read what felt like all of them) dealing with Favicons, no one mentions these points. It's simple
create the 16px by 16px favicon.ico
Place it in the site root
Empty your cache and bookmark the page
Wait -- it will show up, possibly the next day.

Encoder for .ico files

Hi experts,
Iam doing IconEditor, in which i should be able to load .ico (Windows icon )files and able to modify them and save them.
Iam using other software to convert from .ico file to Image class in java. If anybody know how to save .ico file from Image class.
ThankYou

Thanks - I know you can output; but want to use a file for input. It's
like you want to pre-record and play back at the appropriate time as if it is
live. Thanks.
