Layout help

hey
im have a serious problem with the layout manager.
i started programing using the netbeans ide's null layout manager, and only now i found it that when changing the resolution it messes up eevrything.
i tried using diffrent layouts, but nothing works (accept the border layout), not mentioning that it doesnt even work...
i guess that you figured by now that im new to java and only learning
anyway, my question is, can i make it "resolution-independent" without using the layout manager?
thanks a lot in advance
p.s. how can i make make the window maximized when it openes? (not to just make it on all the screen, but to have the property maximized)

You should try to avoid null layouts alltogether since that approach is not working well as you learned by yourself.
There are many Layout managers available in the sdk and you almost can create anything you can imagine. The tutorials show you how do. If you are looking for a somewhat different approach check out Forms from http://www.jgoodies.com/

Creating a purchase order form that has a flowable layout" Help Tutorial

Regarding the "Creating a purchase order form that has a flowable layout" Help Tutorial, I can't seem to get the data to pull in for just the PO in question, is there a secret?
Ideally, it should create one form for each PO with the detail lines for each PO on the individual forms. Can we do this?
Many thanks!

Hi
If the smartform purchase order is not available in your system
means you can download the form IDES and you can upload the form in ur ecc 6.0 system.we faced a similar kind of problem in our system and we did as i said.
Once you uploaded the things you can easily view the form interface and rest of the things related to smartforms.
Thanks and Regards

Drawing and some layout help for a simple control: thin lines and application start

I am trying to create a new, simple control. The control should act as a grouping marker much like that found in the Mathematica notebook interface. It is designed to sit to the right of a node and draw a simple bracket. The look of the bracket changes depending on whether the node is logically marked open or closed.
After looking at some blogs and searching, I tried setting the snapToPixels to true in the container holding the marker control as well as the strokewidth but I am still finding that the bracket line is too thick. I am trying to draw a thin line. Also, I am unable to get the layout to work when the test application is first opened. One of the outer brackets is cut-off. I hardcoded some numbers into the skin just to get something to work.
Is there a better way to implement this control?
How can I get the fine line drawn as well as the layout correct at application start?

The test interfaces are already defined for you - the 3rd party session bean remote/local interfaces.
It is pretty trivial to create implementations of those interfaces to return the test data from your XML files.
There are a number of ways to handle the switching, if you have used the service locator pattern, then I would personally slot the logic in to the service locator, to either look up the 3rd party bean or return a POJO test implementation of the interface according to configuration.
Without the service locator, you are forced to do a little more work, you will have to implement your own test session beans to the same interfaces as the 3rd party session beans.
You can then either deploy them instead of the 3rd party beans or you can deploy both the test and the 3rd party beans under different JNDI names,and use ejb-ref tags and allow you to switch between test and real versions by changing the ejb-link value.
Hope this helps.

Newbie Layout Help Needed

I am normally an After Effects and Premiere Pro user but have been forced to volunteer for help on a Dreamweaver project.
The site is built on the template: HTML, 1 column fixed, centered, header and footer. I want to be able to insert a photo the width of the main column, 960 px I think. Then, under that photo, I want to insert 4 photos with different widths, between 150 and 200 pixels wide. I will need to update this from time to time and the quantity and sizes of the photos will be different each time. If "Draw AP Div" worked like I expected it to, it would be simple: draw boxes and insert images. However, as you know, it's not going to be that easy. I have read the formatting101 page and searched the forum but I guess I don't know enough to know what to search for.
Is there a way to place images in the way I want to? Do I need a plug-in? I need to where to start.

You don't need APDivs for this. If you want the secondary images to be evenly spaced on the page, use CSS floats & margins.
http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/3-CSS-boxes.shtml
If you don't need them evenly spaced, simply insert optimized images into your layout. Be sure to resize images beforehand in your graphics editor so that their combined widths will fit inside the layout.

Report Layout Help

I have a report that I'm having difficulities in getting a layout for. This report is a sales analysis that can be fiscal or calendar year. The look I'm after is:

Thanks,
Joe

John,
1. Well, he is an extreme "joy" to work with. I'll admit that. Been in the managers office a few times.
2. In the mark up that I provided above, August was the month that was selected from the "Select Month" drop down list. Since the "Calendar" checkbox was not selected, that meant that they wanted the beginning of the current fiscal year, Nov-05, to the selected month, in that example, Aug-06.
I am taking care of the beginning and ending dates through date math. If you like I can provide that code too.
I hope that was clear.
Thanks,
Joe

Simple css layout help

Hey I know this is a piece of cake for you guys so help me
out. I've got a simple layout going and set up at
http://www.clark-imaging.com/ciiicomp/index.html
and need your help. What is causing the weird white bands behind
header and maincontent and footer and maincontent? There are no
margin values assigned to the top and bottom of the header and
footer, and a value of 0 won't make them go away. Also, how can I
fix the footer div to the bottom of the window, so the main content
area stretches with the window?
Here's an
image of the look I'm going for.
Your responses are greatly appreciated.

This will do what you want. View source code to see how it's
built.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 Fluid Grid Layout Help!!!

Needing help with What a fluid grid layout is, I hear that itll help my webpage be responsive and it will adjust for screen sizes depending on if your on a computer, phone or tablet. Can anyone link me to an Adobe TV tutorial for CS5.5? All I found was CC stuff and upgraded versions.

Sorry but FluidGrids are not part of CS5 or CS5.5. They didn't come on the scene until CS6 (12) & CC (13).
If you're still interested in building responsive web sites without upgrading software, read this first:
Introduction to CSS Media Queries
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/introducing-media-queries.html
To jump start your responsive web project, you can use one of the freely available Responsive Frameworks below: Some people feel these are actually better than FluidGrid Layouts.

Adjustments needed in Event detail/list layout, help!

Hi there,
I could really need your help on this:
I'd like to make these changes to the event module template:
- be able to hide the booking form for certain events
- make sure the event list layout only shows the upcoming events for the selected month. And not ALL upcoming events (otherwise this list is way too long).
- add a specific field for 1. time, 2. location and 3.costs in the event detail layout (just as the 'date' is setup).
Can anyone tell me if this is possible? And if so, how I can do this or who can do this for me? (I'm a beginner in ABC...).
Thank you very much!!
Kind regards,
Yfke

Hi Liam,
Thank you very much for your reply! I have absolutely no skills in Javascript, especially when it it so much work.
Is there an easy way to at least make sure you can choose to hide the booking form per event? Because there are certain events that need to be booked elsewhere.
Hope that is fairly easy, then I can ask my developer.
Or would it even be smarter, and maybe even easier, to build an event feature like this module in e.g. web apps?
Thnx!

Programme layout help

Hi,
I've been asked to help with the layout and design of a soccer team's match programme. TBH, I've not done anything like this before but I'm up for the challenge.
Naturally, at first, I thought Pages would do the job for me but I now wonder if it can. So far, all I've got of the original programme is a scanned PDF version. I don't think I can edit that can I? They then sent me a .doc version but as far as I can see, it's still just a scan of the original pages. So, at the moment, I don't have any files that I can edit (not with my current skills anyway).
I may therefore need to create the programme from scratch which may be a lot of work to start with but after that it's just content. Is Pages up to this or can you recommend any other software? Can you do that here? I've had a look at Swift Publisher by BeLight software which looks very nice.
One more question; the programme is printed on A4 sized paper, with each sheet containing 4 pages, 2 on each side (in A5 size I think?). So, the first sheet has page 1 next to the back page, and on the reverse side it has page 2 and the penultimate page. How do I achieve that kind of layout? Would I construct each page in full size A4, then....well, I just don't know.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Lee

You may insert the PDF in a Pages Document then create floating text blocks for every text item.

This question was asked and responded several times.
Print as PDF then use Cocoa Booklet to organize the pages as required.

Splitter, Facet stretching in run time, layout help

Hi, Im using jdeveloper 11g. I've got vertical panel splitter which divides my page into two facets, all in a panelStretchLayout. I put a table in a panel collection in the first facet where there is a panel layout (scroll) in it and a form in the second facet.
like this...
<f:facet name="first">
<af:panelGroupLayout binding="#{backingBeanScope.backing_name.pgl1}"
id="pgl1" layout="scroll"
partialTriggers="ps1">
<af:panelCollection binding="#{backingBeanScope.backing_name.pc1}"
id="pc1"
inlineStyle="width:inherit; height:436px;">
<af:table inlineStyle="width:inherit; height:inherit; id = "t1">
</af:table>
</af:panelCollection>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</f:facet>
Now here's what they want to happen. When I adjust the screen split in run time, the table (the panel collection, of course) will adjust too depending on the splitter. Like it will fill up the whole first facet.
Can anyone help me on this? Any help and idea would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

First remove the panelGroupLayout ( thouh it is set to scroll and should not be a problem ).
also remove the inline style of the panelCollection and see if it stretches as you want. Then you can add the panelgroup again.
You can also replace the panelCollection with a panelBox just to see that everything streteches as it is expected.

JPanel and Layout help

Hi all.
I need some help with JPanel. I am trying to attach diffrent components using different Layout managers but when I try to attach two different gridLayout Panels it ignores the first one and only shows the last one attached. I am not sure why. I using a different form of GridLayout because I want to show check boxes and radioButtons. I am trying to get a certain look.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your help and time in advance.

Thanks a lot. It did work but now I am running into another problem.
I am trying to attach more stuff to my selectPanel3 but it just adds stuff right after another and runs out the window. I want Additional Accessories checkBoxes to go on the next page but it shows right next to the RAM radioButtons.
Please help.
Thanks a bunch for your time.
