Make text areas and textfields streach as window resizes

im using the border layout for most of my panels. how do i make text areas and textfields stretch as the window resizes?

Components placed in BorderLayout.CENTER will resize as the window resizes.
You will likely need to have nested JPanels, with different layouts, to create the ultimate layout of all your components in a frame, especially for non-trivial applications.
If you need specific help with layouts, you'll have to post an SSCCE.

Joanne Murray J2 What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what operating system (including 32 or 64 bit) is your Premiere Elements installed? Forgive the questions if you have been there and done that, but I do not want to take anything for granted that might hinder a speedy resolution to your issue. Are you opening an already created title that is sitting on the Timeline in order to edit it in the Titler or are you trying to create a new Title (Default Text or other)? Do you know how to work with the Selection Tool and Type Tool in the Titler? Once I know what version of Premiere Elements that you are using, I will give you specific how to details. Thanks. ATR

How can I change a PDF document to have an enlarged text area and smaller margins?

I've just been reading a long discussion initiated by a guy who wanted to recompose a PDF file to print in fewer pages. I'm not asking about that. I'm aware that Acrobat Pro 9 will not recompose the pages of a pdf for you; as someone said, it's not a word processing program. I want to copy a PDF to a new file with an enlarged text area and smaller margins, so I can read it more easily. My eyesight isn't so great.
I'm trying to print a decision of the US Supreme Court, for my study. The problem is that these PDF files of such decisions are composed in 10-point type with generous margins, in folio-size pages smaller than 8 1/2 x 11". When you open PDF files of these decisions, you get extremely wide margins and relatively small type. Essentially, I'd like to re-rasterize the document so it prints on my 8 1/2 x 11" paper in a larger apparent type size, but in the same high resolution as the original. By the way, the decision I'm working on is almost 200 pages long, so I don't want to do this, obviously, in a page by page manner.
I guess I could do this in Photoshop, by blowing pages up and cropping them. Photoshop does a good job of eliminating the jaggies when you do this. But it would seem better to re-rasterize the pages from the PDF source file. So would any reader be kind enough to explain this process to me? (I'm fairly savvy in Photoshop, Illustrator, and computer printer concepts, but a complete newb in Acrobat.)

If you just want this for printing, one thing you can easily do is crop all of the pages to remove the margins. For example, you can rop 2" off the left and right sides, and 1.5" off the top and bottom. Then print using a Page Scaling of "Fit to Printable Area".
To crop in Acrobat 9, select: Document > Crop Pages
be sure to select All for the Page Range.

Text area and UIScrollbar - CS3/AS2

I have a problem with the UIScrollbar component not being
visible when the movie is generated in CS3/AS2.
Following the method shown in
this
TechNote, the scrollbar displays correctly when the text area
is the only frame in a movie.
In the real movie I'm working on, however, the text area is
in a library item. In that item's definition, I've dragged the
scrollbar onto the area and the component's targetinstancename
parameter shows the correct name of the text area. But while the
text area displays when I preview the movie, the scrollbar is
invisible. Making it more puzzling, if I guess where it is, I can
drag it.
Any thoughts?
John

I tried this but the text looks warped and much different than it should. Seems anyway I embed it in the properties panel looks this way.. any other options??

Text area and Word Wrapping

I am creating a email form and am having problems with word
wraping in the text area. You can view the page and the output if
you put your email address in the form. The problem is the text
areas word wrap when inputting your information but all formatting
is lost in the email. Even if I add spacing for paragraphs. All
data is just a big run on sentence.
Here is the
Page.
I am using Dreamweaver * and php.
Thanks

Someone may have tried this because I received this output in
an email. You can see the formattint is lost.

Display Text Area and Text field in same line

All,
Please help with this scenario.
I have 3-4 text fields, which are all on NEW LINE. I want a text area adjacent to these 4 fields.
How to achieve this.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
OK - My Textarea item is immediately after the first normal Text item in sequence numbers (the first item is sequence 10 on my page and my textarea item is sequence 15).
The only settings I changed on my TextArea item are:
Begin on new line: No
HTML Table Cell Attributes (Element section): rowspan=4
This second setting merges together 4 table cells in one column into a single cell

Use gvim to edit text areas and get it to use javascript.vim syntax file

I have had a lot of trouble with javascript and editting files via apex's "javascript" sections in the page.
The font in firefox did not distinguish various braces well enough for me. I kept accidentally mixing curly braces and parens... And I would now and then put the plsql concatenate operator || instead of the javascript +. Bleah! There are SO many ways to completely break javascript. And the whole javascript herd goes down when just one little function anywhere in there has an errant brace or quote. So I started resenting not using my customary text editor gvim. I have to have this stuff colorized and have showmatch turned on!
So anyway I found that you can edit textareas with gvim, I don't know if this is commonly known or not so
I thought I'd mention it. Or you can use whatever editor you want.
I only tried this on windows but theoretically it works on other operating systems modulo you
adjusting the shell details appropriately.
First of all install the"It's all text!' firefox extension and restart firefox.
then create a batch file something like this:
(NB: don't call a batch file the same name as an executable. That can cause pesky loops :-)
gvimrun.bat:
c:\vim\vim73\gvim.exe %1 -c "set filetype=javascript"
Note the pathname to gvim.exe needs to be customized. Note the parameter for passing the first argument along. (%1) The set filetype is telling it effectively to use the c:\vim\vim73\syntax\javascript.vim file.
so then when you bring up your page in apex , when you put the mouse cursor right below the
down arrow of the vertical scrollbar on the rhs of the textarea, you should see a little blue button
that says "edit". Then right click and choose preferences. Direct it to your batch file.
And if all is well it will work and invoke gvim with syntax coloring. Which makes it just a tiny bit less likely to really flub it.
Now if anyone else wants to pick up the baton and figure out how to get more than one syntax
in effect such as javascript and jquery? I did find a jquery.vim file out there. ...
Now that we know how to do this if someone knows some really super great javascript /jquery
editor that might be way better than gvim I would definitely consider that! Javascript is easy to screw up

Hi Mathan. Here is something i have trying to do. This vi does not write it correct... and have I done something wrongly or "stupidly" in code
Problems:
-Second row is inroccet
-If i know that device returns array where is 10 elements. Can I trust that and just return 10 elements from array and changed it to string?
-Can I trust queue in this way?
I think hardest in labview coding is that you dont know what kind component you should use and what is the right way to use them.

Hi,
Sorry if I've not understood your question, but all this 'wht', 'nt', 'plz' stuff is a bit difficult to follow.
Anyway, you've got a window, in this you've defined a template, then some text elements with variables? Have you assigned the text elements to cells of the templates by putting values in the output tab? If not the text will not appear.

Nick

File upload component and text area issue

Hi guys,
I have static text, text area and button on the same page. Text area binded to session bean value and all works fine (I can input text into text area and press button to save changes).
After adding file upload component to the same page I have got a problem - now after page refreshing the non english characters inside text gets trashed.
Other non english characters - inside static text components remains the same - the problem relates only to text area.
It looks like file upload component code has an encoding related bug. Is that a known issue?
And may be somebody have a workaround?
Thanks.

Hi Rom@n,
I did some checking and this issue is currently logged as: 6442528. It is scheduled to be available in the next patch release. I'm sorry I don't have a time frame for the patch since it is still waiting for other fixes.
Sorry for the inconvience.

Hi there. I having a problem with InDesign PDF interactive export. I would keep my text area style and not text area default style when I export the PDF. How could I do?

Could you help me?

Thanks for the answer Sumit Singh,
sorry but my problem keeps.
I create a simple text area and then trasform it in interactive text area, set it, apply my paragraph/character style and at the end export it in PDF (interactive).
I open the file with Adobe Acrobat, but when I customize it, words inside text area have stylized with default paragraph/character style.
How could I keep my style on export interactive text area?
Thanks a lot.

How do you add an image in the text area of a page/section?

This has been driving me nuts!
When I try to add an image to a page, it will ONLY go into the header. If I try to drag the image onto the page where the text is, it gets hidden behind a layer.
I've looked at the menu choices and I don't seem to be allowed to bring the image to the front. Nor does clicking in the text area and then trying to paste or insert the image - it still goes up in the header.
What is the secret to placing images along with your text on a page in the iBooks Author program?
Thanks!

Wow, Apple has really constrained the "box" that we have to fit our books into!
I was hoping to take some iPad screenshots and put them inline with the text. Since they are portrait iPad screenshots, the book that I'd like to create looks much better (and makes more sense) in portrait mode.
Apple has released this awesome tool, yet they seem to have restricted the author from using any creativity at all.

    Current.setText( "");
    Display.setText( Integer.toString( total ) );
private void doDivide()
     System.out.println("Err you got to be kidding");
}yeh and I'd definitely go for a GridLayout()
4 * 4, with JLabels for the blank filler parts......
So does this help

How to get the long text into text area

Hi,
save_text is working fine .
Now I want to display the text in text area .
am using read_text fm for this and data is coming into the internal table of the function module.
how shd I display that long text into text area and that text shld appear has display mode only and how shd I make all other fields in my subscreen as display mode.
Pls guide me its urgent.
thanks,
krishna

Hai.
check this.
Long Texts are stored in tables
STXH - header
STXL - details.
if you want to read the texts you can use Fun Module READ_TEXT
Any Application document Header and Item Long texts are stored in STXH table with the 4 parameters OBJECT,ID,NAME and LANG
These texts are fetched from database using READ_TEXT fun module by passing the above 4 parameters.
Double click on the text, from the text editor menu GOTO-> HEDAER
you will find the all above 4 parameters
so accordingly you have to pass to the fun module READ_TEXT to fetch the texts.
example:

1) Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
2) Don't forget to use the "Code Formatting Tags",
see http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting,
so the posted code retains its original formatting.
3) Use a more descriptive variable name. "x" means nothing.
4) Define the text field reference name as a class variable, not a local variable.

Possible to highlight a row in text area which in turn would fire an event?

I'm making a GUI of which the main portion consists of a large text area. The text area would list problems that our company is experiencing - each row would represent a problem. Each row would give a problem ID and a description of the problem. I want to make it so that when the user clicks on a row (a problem), another dialog box would open which would present possible solutions to the user regarding the problem at hand. How would I write code to highlight a row which in turn would fire an event opening up another box?
I thought about going about this another way - have a drop down (jcombobox) integrated into each row which the user can choose from but I'm not sure if you can insert a drop down into a text area (and neatly into a row at that!) so I think the former way may be preferable.
Thanks in advance.

If a java application is required (as opposed to a web-based solution using HTML's linking capabilities) the best approach might be a JList implementation. It could go something like this...
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class ListFrame extends JFrame
   public ListFrame()
      super("JList example frame");
      getContentPane().add(getListPanel(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
      setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      pack();
      setVisible(true);
   private Component getListPanel()
      JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
      final JList list = new JList(new Object[]
         "List option 1...",
         "List option 2...",
         "List option 3..."
      // This will make sure only one item can be checked at a time.
      list.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
      // Handle the selection here.
      list.addListSelectionListener(new ListSelectionListener()
         public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e)
            // No need to go on if this was a deselection.
            if (e.getValueIsAdjusting() || list.isSelectionEmpty())
               return;
            // This is where you would have to convert the value that's selected into whatever
            // it is you want to display to the user. This example just puts the text of the
            // selected item into a messagebox.
            Object selectedItem = list.getSelectedValue();
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(ListFrame.this, selectedItem);
      list.setVisibleRowCount(5);
      // The scrollpane will control the scrolling of the list (so you can have as many options
      // as you want). Standard JScrollPane functionalities can be used to control various
      // visual aspects of the list.
      JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane(list);
      scroll.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
      panel.add(scroll, BorderLayout.CENTER);
      return panel;
   public static void main(String[] args)
      new ListFrame();
}I know this is quite after-the-fact, but I hope it helps (if you hadn't already solved the problem :) )

Make text areas and textfields streach as window resizes
