JOptionPane and button L&F

Hi everybody,
I'm curious-- I've noticed that in Windows L&F, the buttons for JOptionPane dialogs switch places, from OK-Cancel to Cancel-OK. Also, they magically have icons appear on them (an X for Cancel and check mark for OK). Is there any way to stop this behavior using JOptionPane? I know it's possible to create your own dialog, and I plan to do that if all else fails, but if there's an easier way that anyone knows of, I'd be very interested to know. Has anyone else ever noticed this with JOptionPane?
Thanks,
Jezzica85

icons appear on them (an X for Cancel and check mark for OK)What version of Windows?
I've never seen this under XP (classic skin).

JOptionPane and JDialog.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE broken?

Hi there
I've created a JDialog from a JOptionPane and I don't want the user to simply dispose of the dialog by clicking on the close button but they are still able and I'm sure that my code is correct. Is it my code that is wrong or is it a java bug? Oh I'm running on 1.3 BTW
JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.setSize(500, 500);
f.setVisible(true);
JOptionPane optionPane = new JOptionPane("Hello there", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE, JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION);
JDialog d = optionPane.createDialog(f, "Testing");
d.setDefaultCloseOperation(JDialog.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);
d.setVisible(true);I know that I can just set up a JDialog directly and use the setDefaultCloseOperation(JDialog.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE) and it seems to work properly but I would like to see it work for JOptionPane!
Thanks in advance

Sorry but this doesn't make it work either. I've looked at the code for createDialog in JOptionPane and it actually adds a WindowListener to the dialog in there as well as a propertyListener. On closing the option pane it calls a method in windowClosing of the windowListener which in turn fires a property change event which then tells the dialog to dispose itself so the addition of another windowAdapter to override the windowClosing method will not help :-(
I've managed to get round it by doing something similar to
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
final JDialog dialog = new JDialog(frame, "Testing", true);
JButton button = new JButton("OK");
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
dialog.dispose();
JOptionPane optionPane = new JOptionPane(button, JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE, JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION);
dialog.setContentPane(optionPane);
dialog.setDefaultCloseOperation(JDialog.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);
dialog.pack();
dialog.setVisible(true);

panel.add(...);
panel.revalidate();
panel.repaint();

Can you save your own theme and button set up so I can use the same format

Can you save your own theme and button set up, so I can use this same format for similar content. I want to keep the button content and the theme the same without having to create it everytime? I am trying to streamline the process for multiple dvd's with the same menu and buttons but different content. Does that make sense?

I am only new to this caper too, but I am pretty sure you can save a theme as a favourite by pressing the "save theme as favourite" button under file. If you have edited an existing theme but don't want to lose it, make sure you untick the replace existing button.

ID 5.5 Interact. PDF, cannot remove white background for Multi-States and buttons.

Hi
I am working on an Interactive PDF Portfolio document. The problem I have is with Multi-State object feature with several buttons going to states that need to be exported as a SWF and imported back into InDesign 5.5. See, the background of my entire doc. is GREY, but when I import the SWF (as directed in Lynda.com videos correctly) and export the entire doc as Interactive PDF and view it in Adobe Acrobat Pro (version 10.1.1) is when all the trouble starts.
When I try to get rid of the WHITE background around the Multi-State objects and the buttons for them (using Select Object Tool and then control+click on it to change the Properties to Transparent Background Appearance) it does not change, even when I go forward and backward to the page.
Does the option of removing white background and making it transparent work only for Animation, but not Multi-State feature with buttons?
Can anyone suggest any other tecnique to create a nice slide show that works in Interactive PDF in ID CS5.5? Please..
Sincerely,
in need of help,
Eve

I have 8 Multi-State objects in one stack on the left and the 8 buttons for each state in the stack on the right. The background of my document is dark grey. There is space inbetween Multi-State objects and the buttons that show the grey background. But after exporting as SWF the Multi-States together with the buttons and placing the SWF back in the PDF file, the space inbetween Multi-States and buttons that is supposed to show the grey background appears white. The problem is that I cannot even change this white background to transparent in Acrobat Pro, as well. I used to do that to animations and it worked, but not in this case.

Windows Vista 64 Bit and Button Support - Qosmio G30?

Windows Vista 64 Bit and Button Support?

Everybody claiming that Vista x64 (or Ultimate) can't be used with FN keys or Flash Cards is utterly wrong!
I have a Qosmio G30 running Vista x64 Ultimate, and have both FN keys, Toshiba Flash Cards and (partly) the hardware buttons at the top working.
After a lot of research, I found that Toshiba has released a 64-bit version of VAP called util_tvap_27581D. If you google it, you might discover it...

Menu and Buttons not showing up!?!

OK. I was trying to burn a iDVD project on my dual G5 desktop w/iDVD5. I would get "there's an error while rendering". After fiddling with it for a day and getting no where, I switched to my laptop (G4/1.25ghz/10.4.8) with iDVD6.0.3. I started to re-assemble the project and the Themes button appears with the themes, the Media button appears with the media, but both the Menu and Buttons buttons show up with nothing but a empty white area! I need to reposition some buttons, but I can't.
Please help.

This frequently helps solve some problems. Quit iDVD. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.
You'll need to reset some Preferences.

Sorry but, i've never seen formula editor for altering position and size. If you know one please navigate me.
I guess you have updated formula editor beside "Lock size and position" - if yes its not right. There is only one editor beside 4 items and editor is actually for Suppress.
Anyways, A trick to change size a position is:
Create 4-5 copies (as many as you expect positions) of the text object. place each at different positions, right click, Format, Suppress and in formula editor for suppress write the formula: If your condition is true, Suppress=false, else true.
Position will not change but user will feel; for different conditions -position is changed
Hope this helps.

Are there any problems with motion menus and buttons in DVDSP 2 on OS 10.4?

I have not used DVD Studio Pro 2 since upgrading to Tiger but it appears to no longer be showing moving motion on menus and buttons.
Are there any problems that I should be aware of when using DVDSP2 on OS 10.4?
I have not upgrade to a newer version only because I do not have any HD software to create DVDs.
Thanks
Paul

Help with Quiz pages and buttons (please)

We use Captivate 6 with a subscription. I have put together a couple of modules with question pools, and some with just a few questions pages inserted. The last time I created a new captivate project, I put inserted quiz pages and the buttons were different then they had been before. The first few times they were grey, now they are green and a bit smaller. Looking at the proporties for each page and button, I cannot see anything that is different othe than one is a text button and the other is a transparent button. Both buttons are marked as default quiz button style. I don't use any themes. To make this short, I would like to know if there is a way to make the buttons the same every time I add a page, or a pool? I am not yet up to designing my own buttons, but probably will here shortly. Right now I need to get some training modules completed as quickly as possible so I don't have the time to reinvent the wheel (so to speak). The only other thing that I noticed was different in the projects was that in the skin editor one uses one called [default](modifired) and the other one uses one that I created. HOWEVER, I have another one that uses my custome skin and the buttons are grey on that one which is the same as the default one. I don't think the skin has anything to do with the button look. Correct me gently if I am wrong on this.
Thanks for the help.

Just one remark: in CP6 you always use a theme. And quiz slides have their own master slides, that will always be used. The buttons take on the style you see on those master slides, and this style can also be found in the object style manager. Skin and object styles are part of the theme. Probably you have overridden some of the styles defined?

Is there a way to add images , text and button in the individual marquee of a carousel

Is there a way to add images , text and button in the individual marquee of a carousel ?

Write a custom carousel. Usually carousel components are just ULs that use something like jQuery to rotate through the LIs. The foundation carousel component is really just designed for some specific use cases. Generally I would just recommend rolling your own.

CS5 Interactive PDF - disappearing graphics and buttons

I have been struggling with CS5 - just about every interactive aspect of it anyway. I have an ebook that I just brought into CS5 from CS4. Each chapter in the book has interactive features such as buttons, anchored graphics, embedded video, html links, etc. I had been struggling with creating the interactive PDF (the whole spread thing) but fixed that with a script found in this forum (Thank You). Even still, I am struggling with random graphics and buttons that disappear off the page during pdf creation. One graphic was moved (not by design) into the bleed space of the document. All of these weird interactive bugs are just about more than enough. It is not an option to create the buttons in Acrobat... there are just too many. Anyone else have similar problems or have a solution I could try. I am close to the point of having to return to CS4 (which would suck to have to redo the edits made again).

I am sure that is true and makes very good sense for many projects.
This project is an ever evolving project... a price list that has evolved even from CS. I am in the process of creating it all new again, fresh in CS5 as a side project. Unfortunately, deadlines always push us to make do with what we can and with what we have. I was hopeful that CS5 would take away some of the pains I had been dealing with in CS4, but truly I was just uncovering more crud than I was able to work around. There will be a time when CS5 is good enough... just not today.

Tabs and buttons on Arch website(s)

The tabs and buttons in the top right corner have links such that the tabs and buttons to which they belong are not clickable across their entire surface. Only the text part is clickable, but the image on which the text is placed is not.
I haven't analyzed the code, but I guess the elements can be made clickable across their entire surface if you made links themselves (instead of the parent block element) into block elements and applied the images as blacground image. E.g.:
<a href="yada yada" class="tab">Home</a>
.tab {
display: block;
width: something;
height: somethingelse;
background-image: url(yadayada);
Sorry if I mistyped anything, I'm really sleepy. The post might be a bit confusing for the same reason...

Try this:
#main_nav ul li {
display: block; <----- EDIT: maybe "display: inline;" here?
float: right;
width: 67px;
height: 20px;
#main_nav ul li a {
display: block;
width: 67px;
height: 20px;
background: url("http://archlinux.org/media/tab.png") repeat-x bottom left #fbf8f1;
padding-top: 1px;
padding-bottom: 1px;
margin-left: 3px;
text-align: center;
font-size: 13px;
I haven't had time to test this, but if you could toss me the templates, I could probably work on it some more. Meanwhile, try the fix above and tell me if it works.
