Jgoodies form layout creates screens that look different

Hi,
I am creating GUI screens using FormLayout. These look great on my laptop-15". The minute this goes to a desktop 17" monitor or to a 14" laptop some of the screen content is not displayed. I am forced to use a scroll pane and bring in horizontal scrolling! Even though the desktop has a 17" screen, the aspect ratio is different from my laptop's.
For example, please take a look at the below specification:
FormLayout totallayout=new FormLayout("1dlu,fill:pref:grow,8dlu,10dlu,8dlu,328dlu,1dlu",
"1dlu,fill:pref:grow,1dlu");I am putting a panel in the 2nd column-Panel A and another panel in the 2nd last column-Panel B. The remaining ones are for gaps and a vertical separator (4th column). Panel B gets hidden in the smaller screens. I thought form layout uses dlu sizes that lays out the frame based on the screen resolution, screen size and the font size of the target computer. In that case why does Panel B get hidden? All the computers I tried this on has the screen resolution the same! 1280 * 800.
So this must depend on the screen size - 15" or 17" or 14" or ...... Is there anyway I can cater to different screen sizes, without my application looking all ugly?

Better ask wherever you got this FormLayout, it's not a part of the JDK. Or use one of the [_standard layouts_|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/index.html].

Screen painter looks different

Hello experts,
I am currently confused as to why screen painter(se51) looks different. I want it to be just like the old way where it looks like VB. buttons, checkbox, etc are shown on the left side. All I can see is blank page. Thanks a lot guys!

Hi,
goto utilities->setting->screen painter(from tab)
check graphical layout editor.
you ll find the same screen painter again.
what you see is the alpha numeric screen painter currently.

Website created with iWeb looks different in IE and Firefox than Safari-why

So I spent a few hours working on my Home and About Us page. Then, while browsing this forum, I started seeing posts about how sites done with iWeb might not look good in IE and/or Firefox. I decided to test out my work. I zipped up my site files and emailed them to myself. I went to my Dell desktop and downloaded the files to that computer. I opened up the home page in Firefox first. The site seemed to look ok, and both the home and about us page links showed up and were functional (i.e. I was able to browse back and forth between the two pages). However, I had some bullet points on the about us page that had a green border around them. This rendered fine in Safari on my Mac, but in Firefox, the bottom line of the box was not connected! Why?
After viewing in IE, I was depressed. The site didn't look at all like it should have. Not only that, but I couldn't navigate between the pages, since the links for home and about us were not at the top. What can I do to make sure that a site I create with iWeb looks good in Safari, IE, and Mozilla Firefox?
-A stumped newbie

Well I see that you and I share the same problem, I posted the same type of question and am anxiosly awaiting replies on this topic, as it is very important
I own a small business, and every hour a customer cannot view my site is a customer lost to incompatibility issues.
I hope someone can help answer these issues.

Forms central - creating fields that total

Anyone know if you can create fields that total based upon user's response? example field A is 50, Field B is 25, Field C the total is 75?

Not with fields on a web form created with FormsCentral. You can use PDF forms that include automatic calculations with FormsCentral, but you'd have to use Acrobat to set them up.

My photos don't rotate anymore when I flip my phone and I notice a new icon symbol in the upper right corner of the screen that looks like a lock with a 3/4 circle going around it. Any ideas???

Firefox home page is replaced by a pixilated screen that looks bogus

the normal home screen appears for a couple of seconds and then is replaced by a pixilated firefox with a "click me" message. the entire image looks like it is at an oblique angle. I have a screen shot but don't know how to include it.

That '''Click Me''' game is part of the Humble Mozilla Bundle promotion on the default Home Page [about:home], that loads from the Mozilla servers in the "Brand Logo" (DIV) section of about:home. ''A feature that was first used in Firefox 29 [IIRC] just prior to the start of the Olympic Games.''
Also, part of that promotion is addressed in the "Snippet" below the Search Container on the about:home page.
If you want to block the "Brand Logo" section (and the "snippet" below the Search container) from ever being seen again, you can install Stylish and this UserStyle. https://userstyles.org/styles/104673/about-home-hide-snippets-and-hide-brand-logo

Create mode in table-form layout

Hi
I use jheadstart 10.1.3.3.0.4157.
I have a group with table-form layout.
I want to enter to this page in create mode and then if user want, click on search button and go to table layout.
I use steven davelaar solution (Re: How to add enter-in-insert mode without post-generation steps
for our form layout pages and that works fine for form layout but it seams that it's not work for table-form layout.
Is there any solution to enter in create mode when we have table-form layout.
It's what I want:
1- 'A' page is table-form layout
2- user select 'A' page.
3- 'A' page must be open in create mode.
4- then if user want, he can click save button(or custom search button) to go to table layout of 'A' page and view records in grid view
thanks

Hello,
Do you mean that if the user selects 'A' page, it will open the form page of the table-form layout in create mode?
If you would want to do that, you would have to change the 'action' of the menu tab that links to the 'A' table-form, and change it so it will load the form instead in create mode (similarly as the solution of steven, in the thread you mentioned).
Besides, if you want to go back to the table after the creation, you would have to have a special action method that will reroute the user to the table layout after a succesfull insert.

Why do certain clips (photos), viewed in preview, on Adobe Premiere 11 look different on YouTube?

Hi folks,
I've posted, via Adobe Premiere 11, two different music videos on YouTube and on my Facebook page. The first one, "Back In The Day", looks the same on YouTube (and Facebook) as it did when I viewed it (previewed it) on Premiere 11. But the second video, "Wicked World", that I posted on those internet sites, has certain clips (photos) that look different than what's seen on Premiere 11.
With "Wicked World", it almost looks like certain Panned & Zoomed photos are bigger in size than what the YouTube screen can show?
I used Pan & Zoom on some photos in both videos. But maybe with "Wicked World", I always set the "Hold" times to zero (0) when using Pan & Zoom on some photos. Or could it have something to do with the Track Size on the "Wicked World" Premiere 11 video? BTW, I see that by right clicking in an empty part of the track, the Track Size choices come up as small, medium or large.
Or is it something about upload choices on YouTube? Two different friends helped me with uploads to YouTube for each video, so maybe the first one, "Back In The Day", looks OK because that friend chose proper upload choices?
If you have time, or the inclination to see the difference for yourself, you can go on YouTube and type in on the search bar, "Wicked World Bob Fuchs". You'll see both a head shot of me playing harmonica for one YouTube choice, and a painting of Van Gogh as another way to get to the "Wicked World" problem video, and the "Back In The Day" good video.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Once I find out why "Wicked World" photos slide partly off the YouTube screen, I will delete it from YouTube and replace it with an issue free one.
I just want to learn what caused that, hopefully, so I can avoid that problem going forward.
Thanks!

A.T.please note:
After sending you a previous email reply to your latest response, I am forwarding a new thought.
I just tried out something you had suggested. I think it may solve the issue I have with the panned & zoomed photos on my "Wicked World" video - the ones that look weird when I view the video on YouTube (and Facebook).
So, in case you also think the following may be the answer, I will now copy and paste relevant parts of my previous email, PLUS include my new thoughts - in order not to waste your valuable time looking into an answer I may already have.
Here goes:
The Premiere 11 Edit area monitor Magnification had already been set to "Fit".
In Edit Menu Preferences General, I already had a check mark on "Default Scale to Frame Size".
The properties of the first file (a Title screen) that I dragged into the Timeline are 1920 Horizontal, 1080 Vertical. But properties of subsequent photos, some of which I panned and zoomed, are mostly only around 648x599.
Upon viewing my "Wicked World" video carefully on YouTube, I see that what actually happens is that the box-like area where my video is shown (probably the same size of my Premiere 11 screen edit area?) is smaller than the YouTube's screen viewing area. That does not bother me. However, when the panned and zoomed photos occur, my smaller box area, within the YouTube screen, itself moves along with the panned & zoomed movement of the photos! That inner box moves slightly vertically, either up or down, and to lower right or left, depending on which direction the pan and zoom of each photo is going. And an empty border around the video area hangs there, within the YouTube viewing area.
So ... as you talked about, I tried something: I replaced an existing panned & zoomed photo (clip) in the Timeline with the same photo, and then I clicked on "Scale to Frame Size". The photo got bigger. I then did a new pan and zoom on it, and reduced the duration of how long that photo clip plays. Therefore, although the pan and zoom happens faster, it cues to the proper places in the music (audio) track. And I'm guessing that the larger "Scale to Frame Size" on that photo will now show properly in the YouTube viewing area, without the smaller inner box area moving too, along with the panned and zoomed photo?
I have only done this on one of my previously panned and zoomed photos in the video. But if you think this may solve the viewing issue on YouTube, that I described above, then I'll do the same with all the previously panned and zoomed photos in my video, and save it as a new version on Premiere 11.
I guess I'd then try and delete the existing "Wicked World" video from YouTube, and replace it with the new, hopefully issue-free version.
What do you think? Should I try this, and then replace the old one on YouTube?
Best Regards,Bob [email protected]

Noob Question: Type That Looks Like Web Type

Hi,
Can someone give me suggestions on creating type that 'looks' like the type generated by a browser. IOW: I've tried the various settings (crisp/sharp/smooth) and the type that I create in a GIF or PNG never looks as close to the same font in IE or Firefox text. This is not font-specific... any font.
Referring to:
http://www.myspace.com/jcharrismusic
Where it says,
'Contact JChmusic is the graphic.
Where it says
'JC Harris: General Info'
...is HTML.
How do I get the word 'Contact' to look as crisp as the HTML generated text?
TIA,
---JC

I tried that and it's close, but then it's -too- jagged. Sorry to sound like Goldilox, but it's as though the 'sharp' is a bit too soft and the 'none' is a bit too hard. One problem (I -think-?) is that the font in the web page is specified in px but Photoshop type is (rightly) in pts.
Any more ideas? Closer, but not -quite- there yet.
THANKS!

Fonts that are the same look different why?

These 2 images (the copy text within the image) are the same in every way, yet when saved as .jpg look different. Why does this happen?
I have tried saving at 100% instead of the 60%, and this helps make them a bit clearer, but still not as crisp as the image beside it. Please help. Thanks
It is always the left side images that are blurrier as well...what is up with that lol See my page
http://www.partsconnexion.com/t/eblast/bbb/bb.html

It's rather fine text, and when you save it as an image, it's alignment to the "pixel grid" may differ (from the same type/size text in similar images) by a fraction of a pixel.
Fonts have a built-in parameter called "hinting" which helps ensure that varying proximity to the pixel grid doesn't distort the glyphs of live type while they're displayed on-screen. It's a scientifically grizzly little property that dictates which portions of a glyph are always black, versus the portions that are subject to "anti-aliasing." When you rasterize the text as you have, it loses its hinting and becomes subject to "accident" in terms of pixel grid alignment, anti-aliasing, and subsequent perceptual rendering on-screen.
Considering the above, rasterizing text is somewhat of a crap-shoot and should be avoided. Your layouts could be composed with live text; and should be. Methods might differ depending on whether the end-product is an "email blast" or something that's always and only ever rendered in a browser.

Dynamically create screens in form application

Hi,
I am trying to create a project that will read some
information from a database and then according to what it's ready
will create a number of activities.
I was hoping to making each of these activities as a
different screen that has the activity class attached to them, but
I can't seem to find a way to dynamically create a screen that has
a class name other than the default.
can anyone help me??
thanks

How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was broken. I bought a new one but now it won't charge. I have a BATTERY bar in the middle of the screen that is flashing RED and I have a symbol on the bottom that looks like a charger.

How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was damaged so I bought a new one but it won't charge. On my Ipad, I have a BATTERY bar in the middle that is flashing RED and an icon on the bottom that looks like the end of a charger. I have tried to force into reset mode, by holding the sleep key and home button SEVERAL times but it does NOT work. I have plugged my Ipad into my desktop computer, but I do not have a screen on my desktop that is coming up. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AFTER I DID AN UPDATE AND WAS LOCKED OUT AND I USED EITHER ICLOUD OR ITUNES TO RESTORE, NOT SURE WHICH AND I FORGOT HOW.
