JDialog size best practice

I am looking for the best way of correctly sizing a JDialog. The problem I am running into is that I have an application that runs on both Windows XP and Windows 2000. Windows XP apparently has a taller title bar than Windows 2000, so the bottom portion of my dialogs are getting cut off on Windows XP because I have been specifying the based on my Windows 2000 machine. Additionally, users with large text enabled also see the problem despite the version of Windows. Am I missing an obvious solutions, or do I need to try to determine what version of Windows the user is on and whether or not they have large text enabled before setting the size of the dialog? Thanks for any assistance.

Hello Derek,
do I need to try to determine ... whether or not they have large text enabled?I'm afraid yes. And this can be done from within Java only with JNI. The feature is probably seldomly used, but the titlebar of the Windows-windows is user definable. Right-click on the desktop, go to settings, then a tab called somewhat like "view" (Darstellung), open the Image element comboBox and click "title bar of an active window". There you can see that you may set the size from 18 up to 100 pixel.

  • ASM on SAN datafile size best practice for performance?

    Is their a 'Best Practice' for datafile size for performance?
    In our current production, we have 25GB datafiles for all of our tablespaces in ASM on 10GR1, but was wondering what the difference would be if I used say 50GB datafiles? Is 25GB a kind of mid point so the data can be striped across multiple datafiles for better performance?

    We will be using Redhat Linux AS 4 update u on 64-bit AMD Opterons. The complete database will be on ASM...not the binarys though. All of our datafiles we have currently in our production system are all 25GB files. We will be using RMAN-->Veritas Tape backup and RMAN-->disk backup. I just didn't know if anybody out there was using smallfile tablespaces using 50GB datafiles or not. I can see that one of our tablespaces will prob be close to 4TB.

  • Lun Size best practice for UC apps and VMWare?

    Hi,
    We have UCS manager v2.1 with FI 6248 direct FC attached to NetApp with plenty of storage.
    Per following doc, Lun size for UC apps should be 500GB - 1.5TB and 4 to 8 VMs per Lun.
    http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/UC_Virtualization_Storage_System_Design_Requirements#Best_Practices_for_Storage_Array_LUNs_for_Unified_Communications_Applications
    We have four B200M3 blades and 3 to 4 UC apps (CUCM, Unity, UCCX) will be hosted on each blade. May add more VM the blades in the future.
    I am thinking four 1 TB Luns and one for each blades. (actually 8 Luns in toal, 4 boot luns for ESXi and 4 for UC apps).
    What is the best practice (or common deployment) to create Lun size and design?
    Thanks,
    Harry

    UC apps need low IO，nothing special，Reference vmware LUN design is ok.

  • Disk Partition Sizes - Best Practices

    In the old days of SunOs 4.x we used to spend a lot of time figuring out disk slice sizes to make sure that we maximized the space on the old 200 meg disks.
    Then once we started using the 1 to 4 gig disk we used just make it one big slice and not worry about things filling up because when it was full, it was full.
    Now, we have these huge 32 gig to 100+ gig drives and things become tricky again. I was wondering how other large companies are slicing up their drives and what thie best practices are.
    The size I was interested in were for:
    8,18,36,72,146 G disk
    My thought is that the 8 gig is still small enough to do the complete disk, but the others may need some thought.
    If some people could let me know what they do for:
    /var
    /opt
    /usr
    I know that we should handle non DB machines different than DB machines so any advice on that would be great.
    Thanks in advance.

    well normally when I setup systems I don't like /usr or /var or anything so I lump everything into root "/", since you don't have any other filesystems your space dun get "locked" and wasted it also makes it easier to do manual backups like ufsdumps also.
    But if you do want to partition the exception would be /var and /opt as a lot of patches and software normally defaults to these 2 as the base installation directory but as I said normally I throw everything into "/".
    Then there's slice 2, 3, 4 and 7 which normally I don't install anything on them
    slice 2 is "backup" represents the entire disk, it can be used but normally nobody touches this. if you use it, I think there will be a problem if you wanna do things like 'dd'
    not sure now but In the old days when you used things like volume manager, vm will take slice 3 and 4 as a private/public region if you have data on it prior to encapsulation it will move the data to other slices for you, but if there are no free slices to move data to from slice 3 and 4 then vm install will fail or if you want to unencapsulate the rootdisk later on you will have a confusing problem as orignally your data from slice 3 and 4 was moved elsewhere during vm encapsulation.
    slice 7 by default with I first install os I will either leave it blank for future or allocate 10mb to it, this is in case I wanna mirror the disk using disksuite so I normally designate slice 7 of all the disks as my metadb, if you use up all the space and leave slice 7 blank you can still allocate space to it for metadb by allocating a few sectors to it from the "swap" area in cdrom single user mode.

  • WEBI Report Size Best Practices

    What are some standards (measured in time, records and db size) for the following for WEBI reports on BW Universes -
    1 - when run on demand
    2 - when scheduled to create an instance
    We are looking for some baselines.  For example: <5 mins for on demand and <15 mins for scheduled, etc

    Hi Subham,
    If you are looking for the size of the WID file, you can get this through the InfoObject.
    Please note that this WID file only changes if the WebI document was actually saved.
    Below is a sample code snippet that will retrieve the file size from an InfoObject:
    IInfoStore boInfoStore = (IInfoStore) boEnterpriseSession.getService("InfoStore");
    String query = "SELECT SI_FILES FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_INSTANCE='false' AND SI_NAME='" + webiDoc + "'";
    IInfoObjects boInfoObjects = boInfoStore.query(query);
    if (boInfoObjects.size() > 0) {
         IInfoObject boInfoObject = (IInfoObject) boInfoObjects.get(0);
         IFiles boFiles = boInfoObject.getFiles();
         IFile boFile = null;
         for (int i=0; i<boFiles.size(); i++) {
             boFile = (IFile) boFiles.get(i);
             out.print(boFile.getName() + ": " + boFile.getSize() + "<BR>");
    } else {
          out.print("No WebI document found!");
    Hope this helps.

  • Adobe DPS Android - Folio Size Best Practice

    Hey everyone,
    we designed a magazine for iPad and now want to bring it over to Android. A little bit of research and it seems, that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7' is one of the most popular tablets. Second to that is the 10' Samsung Galaxy tab.
    The problem I know have is, for which resolution I should re-do my magazine to work on most android devices.
    I read about it (http://blogs.adobe.com/indesigndocs/2012/10/creating-dps-folios-for-android-devices.html), but still would be happy to hear from you guys regarding the following things:
    Would it be wise do set a new folio size 1280x800 (to cover the 10')? I think it will be automatically scaled down to 7' on smaller tablets, right?
    Or is it the better approach to work with an addiotional folio size 1024x600 to target the most popular tablet with 7'. As I recall correctly, the content will not be enlarged on larger tablets like 10', right?
    What if I have a retina-Android-Device. Does the folio automatically scales up like on iPad?
    Personally I would think that approach 1 is the one which makes most sense. content will be displayed fine on 10' and 7' with content slightly smaller on 7' (just like iPad retina and iPad mini).
    What do you guys think?
    Thanks a lot in advance!
    florian

    We starting to test publish to Android. Our 1024x786 PDF iPad edition is showing OK on content viewer for android. There is black boarders, but with pich and zoom, it's perfectly viewable. HTLM and web content works fine. We simply don't have the time to recreate folios at various sizes. So our solution works for us.

  • Best practice for setting or detecting screen size?

    Hi All,
    Trying to determine a best practice for setting or detecting the screen size. For playbook and iOS, I can set them. But for Android, the number of devices is too large so I'd rather detect. My first choice is to use the stage.stageHeight and stage.stageWidth. This works fine if I set my stage properties with standard meta data:
    [SWF(height="320", width="480", frameRate="64", backgroundColor="#010101")]
    However, if I use the application descriptor file to set the stage dimentions (as suggested by Christian Cantrell here http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/authoring_for_multiple_screen_sizes.html)
    <initialWindow>
    <aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
    <autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
    <width>320</width>
    <height>480</height>
    <fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
    </initialWindow>
    Then the stage.stageHeight and stage.stageWidth are not the correct numbers when my main class is added to the stage. Sometime after the main class is added to the stage, then those numbers are fine. Is there an event I can wait for to know that the stage.stageHeight and stage.stageWidth are correct?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Lee,
    Thanks for the quick response! However, for some reason the heightPercent & widthPercent metadata tags are not working as expected for me.
    I have a wrapper class that I target for compiling, WagErgApplePhone.as where I've got my metadata
    [SWF(heightPercent="100%", widthPercent="100%", frameRate="64", backgroundColor="#010101")]
    sets some stage properties
    stage.quality=StageQuality.LOW;
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
    stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
    and instantiates my main class
    var main:Main = new Main();
    addChild(main);
    my main class constructor even waits for the stage
    public function Main(){
    if (stage) init();
    else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
    in my init function, stage.stageHeight traces out as 375 (expecting 320).
    i have a function which is called via a button press event by the user, and stage.stageHeight traces out correctly (320) there. that's what makes me think that if i wait long enough, i can get the correct stageHeight before init/drawing. but i'm not sure what event to listen for, or if there's another trick.
    if i use Capabilities.screenResolutionX and Capabilities.screenResolutionY the correct values are provided for mobile, but these values are not useful for the desktop and web version of the app. if there's no other solution, i'll execute different code depending on platform.
    again, for reference, my app descriptor:
    <initialWindow>
    <aspectRatio>landscape</aspectRatio>
    <autoOrients>false</autoOrients>
    <width>320</width>
    <height>480</height>
    <content>bin-iOS/WagErgApplePhone.swf</content>
    <title>WAG ERG</title>
    <fullScreen>true</fullScreen>
    <renderMode>cpu</renderMode>
    </initialWindow>
    looking forward to any other ideas to try out & thanks so much for your thoughts! if you want to really dig in, this is an opensource project at code.google.com/p/wag-erg/

  • What is the best Practice to improve MDIS performance in setting up file aggregation and chunk size

    Hello Experts,
    in our project we have planned to do some parameter change to improve the MDIS performance and want to know the best practice in setting up file aggregation and chunk size when we importing large numbers of small files(one file contains one record and each file size would be 2 to 3KB) through automatic import process,
    below is the current setting in production:-
    Chunk Size=2000
    No. Of Chunks Processed In Parallel=40
    file aggregation-5
    Records Per Minute processed-37
    and we made the below setting in Development system:-
    Chunk Size=70000
    No. Of Chunks Processed In Parallel=40
    file aggregation-25
    Records Per Minute processed-111
    after making the above changes import process improved but we want to get expert opinion making these changes in production because there is huge number different between what is there in prod and what change we made in Dev.
    thanks in advance,
    Regards
    Ajay

    Hi Ajay,
    The SAP default values are as below
    Chunk Size=50000
    No of Chunks processed in parallel = 5
    File aggregation: Depends  largely on the data , if you have one or 2 records being sent at a time then it is better to cluster them together and send it at one shot , instead of sending the one record at a time.
    Records per minute Processed - Same as above

  • Large heap sizes, GC tuning and best practices

    Hello,
    I’ve read in the best practices document that the recommended heap size (without JVM GC tuning) is 512M. It also indicates that GC tuning, object number/size, and hardware configuration play a significant role in determining what the optimal heap size is. My particular Coherence implementation contains a static data set that is fairly large in size (150-300k per entry). Our hardware platform contains 16G physical RAM available and we want to dedicate at least 1G to the system and 512M for a proxy instance (localstorage=false) which our TCP*Extend clients will use to connect to the cache. This leaves us 14.5G available for our cache instances.
    We’re trying to determine the proper balance of heap size vs num of cache instances and have ended up with the following configuration. 7 cache instances per node running with 2G heap using a high-units value of 1.5G. Our testing has shown that using the Concurrent Mark Sweep GC algorithm warrants no substantial GC pauses and we have also done testing with a heap fragmentation inducer (http://www.azulsystems.com/e2e/docs/Fragger.java) which also shows no significant pauses.
    The reason we opted for a larger heap was to cut down on the cluster communication and context switching overhead as well as the administration challenges that 28 separate JVM processes would create. Although our testing has shown successful results, my concern here is that we’re straying from the best practices recommendations and I’m wondering what others thoughts are about the configuration outlined above.

  • Best practice of expanding partition size

    Hi,
    I am just wondering what's the best practice of expanding a partition. Currently the server I am working in has the partitions configure as below:
    Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
    /dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol00
    5046848 4630796 155548 97% /
    /dev/sda1 101086 50293 45574 53% /boot
    tmpfs 4087296 2388360 1698936 59% /dev/shm
    /dev/sda3 5162828 141544 4759024 3% /tmp
    /dev/sdb1 1923068 734956 1090424 41% /fs0
    /dev/sdb2 1923084 70908 1754488 4% /fs1
    /dev/sdc1 89406276 68095788 16768916 81% /fs2
    /dev/sdc2 13804204 7061912 6041056 54% /fs3
    /dev/sdb3 6474880 4509556 1636416 74% /fs4
    Let's say I want to increase /fs2 which is /dev/sdc1 by another 15GB. I can go into the VMware and increase the disk size by 20GB but how will I go about increasing the partition size without affecting other partitions?
    Most of the instructions I see online basically creates a new partition but I want to avoid creating a new partition. So is it possible to do it?
    Thanks.

    You cannot increase a partition on a disk without affecting other partitions on the same disk unless it is the last partition. You will have to completely re-organize your partitions and restore from backup. You can however extend partitions that are under LVM control by adding a free LVM controlled partition or disk and assign it to any existing LVM volume in order to increase it's capacity. There is plenty of documentation and info available on the web. If you plan to increase your LVM root volume you need to boot form external media.
    Since you are using VMware there is actually no need to create multiple partitions on any disk. You can simply put each partition on it's own virtual disk. Then after you increase the underlying virtual disk, you can use "lvextend" for devices under LVM, or "gparted" to modify the partition, and use the "resize2fs" command to adjust the file system, even while the mounted volume is online.

  • Best Practices To Size the Datafile on ASM in Oracle 11gR2

    Hi DBAs,
    I need to know that what should be the datafile next extent on ASM. I have created a database 11gR2 with ASM. Now some certified DBA told me to create the datafile as small as possible and make it auto extend with the next extent size 1M. The expected data growth every month is about 20-25 Gig.
    Please let me know what are the best practices while for sizing the datafiles and extents in 11g using ASM. Any good document/note refer would be great help.

As You probably know, ASM already divides the ASM files (any sort of files written in a ASM diskgroup) in extents and those extents are composed of AU. So, doesn't matter the datafile size, ASM will balace the I/O on all ASM disks in a diskgroup.
    I guess this thread ( AU_SIZE and Variable Extent Size ), even not being the subject of Your question, Will help You.
    I do believe there are more important factors for ASM performance, like stripe size, LUN size, storage configuration, etc.
    Hope it helps,

  • Best Practices for Keeping Library Size Minimal

    My library file sizes are getting out of control. I have multiple library's that are now over 3TB in size!
    My question is, what are the best practices in keeping these to a manageable size?
    I am using FCPX 10.2. I have three camera's (2x Sony Handycam PJ540 and 1x GoPro Hero 4 Black).
    When I import my PJ540 videos they are imported as compressed mp4 files. I have always chosen to transcode the videos when I import them. Obviously this is why my library sizes are getting out of hand. How do people deal with this? Do they simply import the videos and choose not to transcode them and only transcode them when they need to work on them? Do they leave the files compressed and work with them that way and then transcoding happens when exporting your final project?
    How do you deal with this?
    As for getting my existing library sizes down, should I just "show package contents" of my library's and start deleting the transcoded versions or is there a safer way to do this within FCPX?
    Thank you in advance for you help.

    No. Video isn't compressed like compressing a document. When you compress a document you're just packing the data more tightly. When you compress video you do it basically by throwing information away. Once a video file is compressed, and all video files are heavily compressed in the camera, that's not recoverable. That information is gone. The best you can do is make it into a format that while not deteriorate further as the file is recompressed. Every time you compress a file, especially to heavily compressed formats, more and more information is discarded. The more you do this the worse the image gets. Transcoding converts the media to a high resolution, high data rate format that can be manipulated considerably without loss, and go through multiple generations without loss. You can't go to second generation H.264 MPEG-4 without discernible loss in quality.

  • JDialog best practice

    I am building a custom JDialog that includes a JPanel so that it's easier for me to customize (I'm using NetBeans). This is my first solo project as a developer so I want to make sure I follow best practice whenever possible. I have two questions in that regard.
    1. If I need to pop-up a user interface from my main frame that inlcudes several components (a text area, radio button groups, buttons, etc) is the JDialog my best option? I know that there are built in dialogs that are used for convenience but they aren't satisfactory for what I need from a user input perspective.
    2. The dialog I created contains almost as much code as the main JFrame. This JFrame class is becoming quite large to the point that it's hard to keep track of the code. I've thought about creating another class that extends JDialog and placing the code for the dialog in that class. Is that the generally accepted method for resolving this type of issue?
    Last note: I prefer to design my GUI using an IDE such as NetBeans so I can focus on the non-aesthetic code. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any logical way for me to create a JDialog outside of my main JFrame without having creating a generic class and write the aesthetic related code manually. Anyone using NetBeans have any suggestions? ( excuse me for that part if there is a separate NetBeans forum but I could not find one ).
    Thanks

    1. Yeah, I believe JDialog is your best choice. If it's quick pop-up question I instantiate the JDialog via JOptionPane, but if it's more complex I instantiate the JDialog directly.
    2. That's okay. You can separate the JDialog GUI into a system of objects working together. I usually make sure this system has only one or two points of access (that is, the reference that the main JFrame will have to it to set it visible and stuff) so that the system doesn't complicate the code that accesses it, but instead keeps its complications internal.
    3. I always code my GUIs. I hate how visual editors code it =\

  • GUI Design Best Practices

    Still learning Java and OOP. The question is, what is the best practice method for designing the user interface? For instance, I have a main_GUI that has all the basic stuff and then I need to have 5 or so different displays. A couple of them need to be modal so I'm creating those as jDialog. Is this correct or should you not use those.
    Actually, all of the additional screens I want to be modal so I don't see another way of creating a normal jFrame that is modal which is why I'm asking before creating every screen as a jDialog.
    Also, I have one screen that could have 3 different functions. Is it acceptable to create the screen with all of the components and just hide the ones that I don't need at any given time or should I actually create 3 different screens that all look roughly the same?
    Thanks for any input/advice.

    ShosMeister wrote:
    So what's the difference, or more importantly, what's wrong with using jFrames? If you are creating a stand-alone, non-web app, then you will of course create a JFrame, and place your app in it, but I'm suggesting that the app not extend JFrame but rather you simply create a JFrame when you need it, and place a JPanel in this JFrame's contentPane, pack it and display it. The reasons for not extending a JFrame are multiple but mostly boil down to a general preference to avoiding extending classes with inheritance and using instead composition. There are many blogs dedicated to discussing this paradigm which can be found with Google, and here are two decent articles from the first page of my search:
    [JavaWorld: Inheritance versus composition: Which one should you choose?|http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-11-1998/jw-11-techniques.html]
    [Object Composition vs. Inheritance|http://brighton.ncsa.uiuc.edu/~prajlich/T/node14.html]
    One error caused by extension of a Swing class via inheritance that I saw in a recent thread in the Swing forum involved a class that overrode JLabel and held x and y int variables. The class had setX(int i), setY(int i), and getX(), getY() methods and thereby unknowingly overrode JComponents own similar methods completely messing up the JLabels ability to be positioned correctly.
    Are you saying I should only have one "window" and swap the data constantly in that window? Nope. I am saying that you should emulate other windows-like programs that you use. Most use a combination of panel swapping, modal and non-modal dialogs, ... whatever works best for the situation. But most importantly, you should write your code so that it is easy to change from one to the other with a minimal change in your code. Aim for flexibility of use.
    Would that require that all the jPanels were the same size to be able to display correctly?If you swapped with a CardLayout and created your JPanels to be flexible with sizing, the CardLayout would take care of this mostly for you.
    So if I create a main jPanel, set it up with all of the components that I want, when I run the program and main() is called, it would create the jFrame and drop the jPanel into itself? Not sure I've seen any examples of that so I'll have to look that one up. Yes, you'd drop the JPanel into the JFrame's contentPane. There are plenty of examples here, but it may take some digging to find them.
    Unless of course I've completely misunderstood you which is possible since, as I've mentioned, I'm just learning Java.I think you are understanding what we suggest here. You are asking the right questions, so I predict that you should learn Java quickly.
    Thanks!!!!Welcome!

  • Best Practice for Significant Amounts of Data

    This is basically a best-practice/concept question and it spans both Xcelsius & Excel functions:
    I am working on a dashboard for the US Military to report on some basic financial transactions that happen on bases around the globe.  These transactions fall into four categories, so my aggregation is as follows:
    Year,Month,Country,Base,Category (data is Transaction Count and Total Amount)
    This is a rather high level of aggregation, and it takes about 20 million transactions and aggregates them into about 6000 rows of data for a two year period.
    I would like to allow the users to select a Category and a country and see a chart which summarizes transactions for that country ( X-axis for Month, Y-axis Transaction Count or Amount ).  I would like each series on this chart to represent a Base.
    My problem is that 6000 rows still appears to be too many rows for an Xcelsius dashboard to handle.  I have followed the Concatenated Key approach and used SUMIF to populate a matrix with the data for use in the Chart.  This matrix would have Bases for row headings (only those within the selected country) and the Column Headings would be Month.  The data would be COUNT. (I also need the same matrix with Dollar Amounts as the data). 
    In Excel this matrix works fine and seems to be very fast.  The problem is with Xcelsius.  I have imported the Spreadsheet, but have NOT even created the chart yet and Xcelsius is CHOKING (and crashing).  I changed Max Rows to 7000 to accommodate the data.  I placed a simple combo box and a grid on the Canvas u2013 BUT NO CHART yet u2013 and the dashboard takes forever to generate and is REALLY slow to react to a simple change in the Combo Box.
    So, I guess this brings up a few questions:
    1)     Am I doing something wrong and did I miss something that would prevent this problem?
    2)     If this is standard Xcelsius behavior, what are the Best Practices to solve the problem?
    a.     Do I have to create 50 different Data Ranges in order to improve performance (i.e. Each Country-Category would have a separate range)?
    b.     Would it even work if it had that many data ranges in it?
    c.     Do you aggregate it as a crosstab (Months as Column headings) and insert that crosstabbed data into Excel.
    d.     Other ideas  that Iu2019m missing?
    FYI:  These dashboards will be exported to PDF and distributed.  They will not be connected to a server or data source.
    Any thoughts or guidance would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
