Locking out focus to a window temporarily

I've created a top level window (JFrame) apart from my main application window which is also a JFrame. When I display this new window, I want to prevent the user from using any of the components in the main application window until I hide this new window again.
Is there a simple way to do this with just one or two statements?

Is one free to place anything they want in a modal
dialog box?
I have a JList and some custom buttons.Yes, it is very similar to a JFrame. Read the
tutorial, there are several examples there.What I mean is, you add things to a JDialog just as you would add them to a JFrame.

Windows 7 PC locking out domain user in Windows Server 2008r2 domain

I have reviewed dozens of related questions, but none have given me an answer that works on this situation.
We replaced an XP desktop with a Windows 7 desktop. It keeps locking out just user(of over 25 migrated). I have disabled the Windows 7 credentials, made sure the patches were in place, there are no other devices-wireless or otherwise.
The users pc has a kvm attached for another system, we have a Windows 2008r2 server. The user does not save any passwords, I have make changes recommended in the registry. They do have a couple mapped drives. Logs show that it is the users
pc that is causing the lockout, but much of the users time they are on the other system. We have 4 other users that have the exact same setup but are not having any issues. It happens several times a day and I must unlock their password on the
ad. Sometimes if we wait 45 min or so it will unlock itself. Strange considering settings lockout user after 5 bad passwords and lock them out for 120 minutes.
I have tried virtually everything I have read relating to this issue in Win7, 2008r2.
User is getting frustrated and so am I!.
Thank you.

Windows Vista Locks out when plugging in Nano 3g with iTunes 8.0

When I plug in my ipod Nano 3g after updating to iTunes 8.0...it locks out my Windows Vista and terminates Windows session. System automatically restarts and will not restart if the iPod remains connected. 5 r's of troubleshooting do not help...I get the same problem. I would probably like to go back to the previous version of iTunes I had, but not sure which one I had? 7.6?

I have the same problem. as soon as I plug my ipod in, I get a blue screen of death., I've tried everything. My 2g nano works fine. tried the umpteen r's to no avail. I hope someone knows what is going on.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Trying to connect to a Windows share locks out users Windows account.

Right then I’m coming to the end of my tether !!!
I've got a user who needs to access a share on a Windows server. All is well and the user gets the challenge prompt but instead of letting him in it constantly challenges him locking out his windows account.
Now the share is on a DC so i cant make him a local Admin and the only way i can get this working is to have him in the domain admin group which is NOT the way forward, so i'm looking at permissions i guess.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this .. Arhhhh

Locking out one window when bringing up another.

I have an application that has a GUI interface and that application calls another class that also brings up a window where the user enters some parameters. When the second window is displayed I would like to lock the user out of the 1st window so that can not use it untill they have finished with the second window. How do I do this.

Yes you can!
A Dialog is a Container and a Choice is a Component so you can therefore add a Choice to a Dialog.
You have to
Construct the Dialog
Set the layout manager on the Dialog
Construct the Choice
add the Choice to the Dialog
Make the Dialog visible, using setVisible(true)
If you are using Swing, use a JDialog but don't use Choice as it is an AWT Class.
Hope this helps

Locked out of Windows XP Boot Camp control panel

I'm getting locked out of my Boot Camp control panel under Windows XP with the following message:
"An error occurred while trying to access the startup disk settings.
You may not have privileges to change the startup disk. Make sure you have administrator privileges and try again."
Likewise if I try to restart OS X from the XP icon tray, I get this message:
"Could not locate the Mac OS X boot volume."
However, holding the alt-key at boot up reveals both startup disks. I can boot successfully into OS X and XP using the alt-key, and I can switch startup disks successfully from the OS X System Preferences pane. Also, the Boot Camp partition is visible to Vmware Fusion and can be used to boot into Windows XP successfully. It's only within native Windows XP that the OS X boot volume is not accessible.
I'm running Windows XP Home (SP3) with the latest Boot Camp 2.1 update. Re-running the BCUpdateXP.exe program to repair Boot Camp was unsuccessful. The OS X boot volume still can't be accessed from XP. Any ideas out there?

Same problem, same error message now in October 2008. Running Mac OS X 10.5.5 & Windows XP SP3. Also running MacDrive and Norton Anti-Virus for Windows.
Problem disappears upon reverting to WinXP SP2 using Windows System Restore. Imperfect fix, but it does work. Revert to last restore point when SP2 was working.

IE locks out after applet window closed

I am using an applet which communicates with the server through RMI.
I am launching a browser window with my applet in it from a secure socket layer server.
When I close this window IE locks out but Netscape doesn't.
I tried overriding Applet.destroy() in order to dispose() any windows which I make using the browser frame and which might still be hanging around.
I notice that Netscape calls Applet.destroy() but IE doesn't or does not get that far.
Please can anyone tell me if I am on the right track and/or what I might try to fix this lockout.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi,
I have a similar problem. From watching he trace file of the Java plug-in, IE 5.50.4134.0600 is calling the STOP, DESTROY, DISPOSE, and QUIT applet events all together. It doesn't wait for the applet.stop and applet.distroy functions to finish. My applet saves the user settings in serialized objects and sends it to the server to be saved in the database. If this process finishes before the shutdown of IE, it goes through to the server. Unfortunately, it's not always that fast.
My applet is not signed. That means that any restricted call in applet.stop() and applet.distroy() will be restricted because they are not called from inside the sand box. I read somewhere that signing the applet will solve this. However, Is that the cause of my problem?
Thanks,
BYTTNerd

Mac book air os x lion windows network connection keep getting locked out

hello, I have an end user with a mac air, running os x lion. I attached him to a network share on the windows network active directory on server 2008. he is the only one that when he clicks on the network share it locks him out. I check a/d and he is locked out each time. Is there a fix for this. other computer specs are processor 1.7 ghz intel core i5 4gigs memory. this should be an easy fix for such a robust machine.

Hey,
yes I did get to the bottom of this problem!!!. After spending some time on the phone with apple support they suggested that it was probably a problem with the hardware on my macbook air.
So I took this to an apple shop they had a look and it was infact a problem with the logic board. Not sure what was wrong specifically but they replaced it and then reinstalled OS for me and now works perfectly. All came under the warrenty obviously.
I had a look at your thread and it seems that your having the same problem, only thing i can suggest is ring support if you havnt done so already they will go through recovery with you, should be all free if you have just bought your new mac. Alternatively, to save time I would quickly check and download via a different internet connection/ try connect your mac to the router with an ethernet cable, just to see wether its an internet issue.
If this fails unfortunately you will most likely have to take it to an apple store to get them to take a look!.
Good luck

Replaced hard drive, locked out of Windows, Recovery DVDs freezing?

My fiance has an HP Pavilion G61 laptop. He purchased it through a rental company back in 2010. Last month, the hard drive fritzed out and died on him. We had it replaced through a local computer repair store, as his laptop was no longer under warranty, but when we got the laptop back, Windows was not activated on it. We called them back and asked them to fix the issue, but after a few days, they discovered that the Windows code had been locked out and was unusable. We searched online for similiar instances and he was told to purchase the HP system recovery DVDs and run them, and that when the recovery was done, it would be back to factory settings and Windows would be activated. We received the discs in the mail after buying them from HP, and can get Disc 1 to run fine all the way to completion. Then we get to the "Insert disc 2" screen, and we put the disc in and...nothing. Absolutely nothing. It freezes on this screen every single time and does NOTHING. We're incredibly frustrated and he is talking about trashing the laptop because it's completely useless at this point. Can ANYONE help me out and tell me what is wrong and how to fix it?
For reference, it's Windows 7 Home Premium edition that was on his laptop.

I would test the hard drive and memory just to be sure there is not some hardware issue causing the problem with the recovery discs.
When you first power up the notebook, use the F10 key (tapping rapidly) to enter the bios and run the diagnostics. Post back any messages or errors please.
I can help you get Windows installed without the HP discs but is a huge undertaking and should be a last resort.
Also, Please post your full product Number for me.

Windows 7 account lock outs Event ID: 4776 Authentic Package: MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_pACKAGE_V1_0

Hello, hope someone can help, users are getting intermittently locked out by domain controllers which are Windows 2008 R2
hosted in VMWare VSphere 5.0.
They are logging on with local accounts to Windows 7 Enterprise desktops which are
not part of the domain. They connect to network shares,sharepoint,Instant Messenger by
provider their domain log on credentials.
Intermittently a DC will log a bad password and lock them out, preventing them from accessing
network resources, however their password has not changed.
The error log on the server shows the following:
Log Name: Security
Source: MS Windows Security
Event ID: 4776
Task Category: Credential Validation
Keywords: Audit Failure
Authentic Package: MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_pACKAGE_V1_0
Logon Account: user's network log on account
Source Workstation: Users Windows 7 Desktop
Error Code: 0xc000006a
I have launched "control userpasswords2" from the run command and cleared any cached account passwords on the desktop machine but this did not fix the issue.

Hi,
This type issue occurs should be more related to domain controller settings.
I find a similar case from the third party website. For your reference:

HT3799 locked out at the log in window ?

i have recently installed Maverick on my late 2010 MB Air that is locked at the log in window . I have tried to enter Disk Utility with r-cmd but end up on a grey screen with a Pad-Lock and a request for my firmware p/w is there a default p/w ?

RockeyIV,
no, there isn’t a default firmware password; the default is to have no firmware password. If your MacBook Air has a firmware password, then someone set it up that way.

IPhones cause windows accounts to lock out due to activesync

We have 200+ iPhones in our environment, all of which are causing their respected user accounts to lock out after the users change their password. It appears that they unlike their Android counterparts are not syncing their password through ActiveSync like they should. Bug exists from iOS 6

Sorry. You're just plain wrong. Where, exactly, do you think the phone is supposed to get the new password from? AD? Sorry. That's not going to happen. It would be a huge security problem if password changes were automatically pushed out to every connected device. What would you do if an account was compromised? Changing the password would no longer fix the problem.
I AM an Exchange admin.
This is a user education problem, plain and simple.
