Moving and Resizing Panels

I have some panels that I would like to allow the end-user to
rearrange and resize to their liking.
How would I go about doing this?

After moving and resizing control, some controls don't redraw properly as the cursor passes over them.

I have a top-level VI with three panes (two splitters). One of the panes contains nested tab controls. One of the tab pages contains six XY-graphs, a table and some decorations.
I use a subVI to resize and relocate the tabs and contained controls. All this is working fine, and everything looks fine after the resizing is complete.
The problem is when the cursor passes over certain controls (the chart legends and the table column headers for example), they redraw with gray boxes. The problem only occurs after enlarging the window from its minimum size. It goes away if the window is resized back down to minimum.
Anything that causes the window to redraw, like another resize or minimize/restore, properly refreshes the screen.
Has anyone seen this problem, and have a workaround?
The problem exists in development environment or built in LV 9.01 or LV 2010.
Thanks!

Thanks again for taking a look at my problem.
force redraw - This is apparently only available in LV2010. I did give at a try, but it did not prevent the problem, nor did it correct the problem once the gray boxes appeared.
disable updates (on a graph) - This apparently only applies to 3-D graphs, which is not what I am using in this case.
disable front panel updates - I tried disabling updates before moving/resizing the front panel controls, then re-enabling updates afterwards. The problem is exactly the same as before. Once the move/resize is complete, passing the mouse over the table column headers or the graph plot legend results in the gray boxes.
I would appreciate any other suggestions you may have.
Again... the problem is not that the moving and resizing don't work. They work fine. But once the resizing is complete, passing the mouse over the legend or table column headers causes gray boxes to appear.
Thanks!

Moving and Resizing UIComponents

Hi,
I am making a flex application in which I am drawing Square,
Rectangle,Ellipse, line,etc with flex UIComponent.
I want to Moving and Resize the UIComponents .
And what would be a better way to put UIComponent on some
container and resize and move the container ? Or directly move and
resize the UIComponent ?
Can any one help me ??

Hello all,
regarding what I asked about, I've found this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Resiz … Partitions
So the question now is about moving. If I dd sda5 to sda4 will I have to set something up for it work? Like some offsets/adresses?
If I am able to move sda5 to sda4, the rest will be fairly easy. Any about my partitiong layout - it's manual, I've used fdisk, cryptsetup, mkfs and the lvm tools that come with the arch install iso.
Also some have misunderstood - currently everything but the boot partition, which is on another drive, is encrypted - in one LUKS partition and inside it there is an LVM with the different partitions.
I've tested on a virtual machine by doing the following:
unmount partitions
move the luks partition by using dd with opts bs=4096 conv=notrunc,noerror,sync
after that follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Resiz … Partitions
Worked like a charm(if you need to remove mappers use dmsetup).
After that: the uuid's of the lvm's are the same so that's cool. Just need to get the UUID of the new luks partition and set it in grub's cryptroot parameter.
That's all
Still I think I will backup everything first, then I will try this.

Cropping when moving and resizing a cropping rectangle

I created a program that crops an image and displays the cropped image but I'm trying to add more functionality
by making it movable and resizable. The rectangle moves and resizes but it only crops an image when user draws the rectangle and not when moved or resized. I know that the X,Y, height and width position of the rectangle would need to be updated but I'm not
sure how I can accomplish this being new to WPF. Below is my user control "CropControl and the code behind. Also, I'm implementing my code using MVVM framework.

Hello HotSawz,
The ResizeThumb and MoveThumb is not in your code so I cannot compile. Anyway, it is not the problem.
Anyway, can you clarify more details about "it only crops an image when user draws the rectangle and not when moved or resized", it is already normal behavoir for you to draw a rectangle and then move it. What kind of action do you want? Do you
mean some controls like this:

Moving and resizing shapes .?!

hey there ..
i was wondering if you guys can help me figure out how to select , move and resize a specific shape .... apreciatte it a lot .. peace . take care and thanks for your concerns..

Hi there, take a look at this code:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=427823
You can view the working version at www.bhun.net/shapebean.html. The example isn't very complicated nor does it contain much functionality. But it does show you one way to handle the shapes (there are probably better ones). Resizing a shape just requires you to do some extra work.

Moving and resizing fields

Hello,
1. I want to make a field just a little bit smaller but when I grab the grab bars and drag to make it smaller it redcues it too much. How do I drag it very, very small amounts? I have looked for help topics on this and there is nothing. I have tried holding down ctrl, alt, and shift when I drag but nothing does it.
2. How do I get a field to just nudge a little with arrow keys?
Thank you.

I use the Layout pallet to position object quite a bit. How ever I do use the arrow keys to nudge objects around the page. You might check and make sure that Snap to grid is unchecked otherwise when you use the arrow keys to move objects they will move in the increment the grid is set to. To set the grid or define grid and ruler settings and guides go to Windows -> Drawing Aids. I think snap to grid is checked by default.

Use of Java Swing +Applescript to move and resize Mac OS X windows using

Here is an interesting use of Java on Mac OS X and Applescript to
enable moving and resizing of windows using mouse and keyboard:
[MoveResize tool|http://code.google.com/p/sandipchitalesmacosxstuff/#Move_and_resize_windows_on_Mac_OS_X]
How it works:
The implementation uses Applescript to get the front most window and
it's bounds. It sends the bounds rectangle to a server implemented in
Java over a socket connection. The Java server takes the screen shot
of the full Desktop and uses it as the Image label (a JLabel with
ImageIcon) as the content pane of an undecorated JFrame which has the
same bounds as the Desktop. A JPanel with semitransparent background
and a dark rounded rectangular border is given the same bounds that
were received over the socket. This JPanel is added to the
PALETTE_LAYER of the JFrame's layered pane - which makes it appear
floating in front of the front window. A Mouse and a Key listener
added to the JPanel allow moving and resizing of the JPanel. When the
user types the ENTER key the JFrame is hidden and the new bounds of
the JPanel are sent back to the Applescript over the socket connection
which moves and resizes the front most window.
Enjoy!

Copy the /Home/Documents/ folder to the NAS drive. That drive needs to support AFP or you may run into filename problems and/or other file related problems due to filesystem differences.
Once the folder has been moved to the NAS select the folder on the NAS and CTRL- or RIGHT-click. Select Make Alias from the drop down menu. You should now have an alias named "Documents alias." On the Mac put the /Home/Documents/ folder in the Trash but don't delete it. Copy the alias file from the NAS to the /Home/ folder. Rename it to simply "Documents." Double-click on it to be sure it opens the folder on the NAS. If so you can empty the Trash. You're done.

Adobe Air is very smiller than Zinc App - Reposition and Resize not working?

Hello guys, i have found and readden nice solution like NativeWindow was saved positions and sizes If i close Adobe Air App and i open again like NativeWindow was moved and resized. It is very simple working. And it works fine. 100 % Good! But how does it work with Zinc App because it doesn't work for positions and sizes. How do i fix? I have upgraded code from FileSerializer.as With mdm.Script:
package
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.URLStream;
import flash.utils.ByteArray;
import mdm.Application;
import mdm.FileSystem;
import mdm.System;
public class FileSerializer
public static function WriteObjectToFile(object:Object, filename:String):void
var fileExists:Boolean = mdm.FileSystem.fileExists(mdm.Application.path+filename);
var outByte:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
outByte.writeObject(object);
if(fileExists == false)
mdm.FileSystem.saveFile(mdm.Application.path+filename, "");
mdm.FileSystem.BinaryFile.setDataBA(outByte);
mdm.FileSystem.BinaryFile.writeDataBA(mdm.Application.path+filename);
private static var stream:URLStream;
public static function ReadObjectfromFile(filename:String):Object
var fileExists:Boolean = mdm.FileSystem.fileExists(mdm.Application.path+filename);
if(fileExists == false)
var obj:Object;
stream = new URLStream();
stream.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(evt:Event):void
obj = stream.readObject();
stream.close();
stream.load(new URLRequest(filename));
return obj;
return null;
That is improved to mdm.Script and it saves sometimes.
And i have create UserPref.as
package
public class UserPref
public var zincForm:String = "MainForm";
public var zincType:String = "sizeablestandard";
//public var zincSWF:String = "MainApp.swf";
public var zincPosX:Number;

Can Effects etc. windows be moved or resized?

The effects window is a little small and claustrophobic even on my 24" display.
Can it be moved and resized?
Also is there any PDF version of the Help Manual available?

I have discovered how to download a PDF Help Manual:-
1. Go here http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.0/
2. Click on the printer icon in the top right corner and select "Book".
3. In the printer window click the "PDF" button and select "Save as PDF".

Photoshop CC: Have a template that I moved image into. Image is too small. How do I resize the image while in the template? Or must I go to original image file and resize there again and again until I get the right fit?

I have a template that I am able to plug different pictures into at different times. The problem is that when I plug an image into that template, I find that the image is either too big or too small. Is there a way to plug the image into the template and resize the image (and not the template itself) OR will I have to go to the file with the original image and resize it there and then try to plug it in to the template to see if it fits------and if it does not fit, go back to the original file with the image and resize it again and see if that fits---and so on and so on...........? I have tried the" image size" option but it's hit or miss------mostly miss!
Thanks!

Read up on Smart Objects. It looks like you have no idea as to how to create and use them.
Jut create a Smart Object from the layer containing whatever it image it is that you are "plugging into your template". But you do need to learn the application at its most basic levels.
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve. You cannot learn Photoshop in a forum, one question at a time.
Or is it possible that you don't even have Photoshop proper but the stripped-down Photoshop Elements?"
If the latter is the case, you're in the wrong forum. This is not the Elements forum.
Here's the link to the forum you would want if you're working in Elements.:

If you do have Photoshop proper, please provide the exact version number of that application and of your OS.

Moving and properly placing fields in a FormsCentral form

I've just started using this software that came with Acrobat XI and began designing a form from scratch. Moving and placing fields in your desired location seems to be quite challenging unless there is something I do not understand about the process. The primary annoyance is when using the left side handle to change the width of a field, all other fields above appear to be connected and all change widths together. Also, moving a field along a horizontal plane always ha sthat field snap back to its original position. Any help here?

All th fields in the first column in FormsCentral share the same label width. You might want to try to put the label on top if you don't like this behavior.
If you insert fields on the right on a form element then you can independently set its label width.
You can only put a form element next to another one. If you want more horizontal "spacing" between element you can resize it by increasing the previous element width. In the image below you can see what you need to "drag"to increase spacing.
Hope this helps

Stop JPanel auto positioning and resizing in Netbeans

Hi,
I'm working on a Swing application in Netbeans. In my program I had several JPanels. At any one time, only one JPanel is visible.
I dragged my JPanels to the JFrame in the Swing editor. Each time the user clicks on the switch function button, another JPanel should be displayed.
However, the new panel does not display correctly. It remained at the position where I had dragged (randomly) on Netbeans, instead of the new size and location I set it to prior to setting it visible. I tried to tinker with it, and realized that Netbeans helped me reposition my JPanel back to its original position. For my function to work, I suspect I should disable auto positioning and resizing.
How do I turn it off?
Thanks in advance,
eddy05

That's what the JComponent.setSize() and JComponent.setLocation() do right, to resize and relocate JComponents and its subclasses.This only sets the properties of that particular JComponent. The layout manager of the container that holds it can choose to use these properties or not depending on what layout manager is being used.
I wanted to perform the above functions, but Netbeans' behaviour keeps interfering, hence my request on how the behaviour can be turned off =)By dropping a JPanel into your JFrame (the JFrame's contentPane actually), NetBeans is by default going to use the GroupLayout, and the properties of the JComponent noted above will be ignored. One solution alluded to above is to have the JFrame's contentPane use a null layout, but while this might work in the short run, in the long run it will hurt you. Better is to read up on the various layout managers available for your use in the Sun Swing tutorials and start to play with them in your code.

Crop and Resize video in AME at the same time !

Hi everybody
I'm new to Adobe Media Encoder CS4, used to encode with Flash Video Encoder.
It seems that is it impossible with AME CS4 to crop and resize a video at the same time.
In input i have a 1280*720 video, that I first resize to obtain the desired height (300px)
so i obtain a 533*300 video,but when i would like to crop it in the same operation, that's not work, it doesn't keep the height i want (300px)
If I start by cropping my video, i obtain a 538*683 video, but i can't resize after, because the width and height in right panel are in grey, inaccessible.
In Flash Video Encoder (with Flash 8) it was possible to do this 2 operations at the same time, why doesn't this work in AME CS4 ?
(please excuse my poor english ^^)
Thanx by advance

How to remove a plot and resize the plot legend in LV 8.6 as in this link to a LV 7.0 example

This VI ( ftp://ftp.ni.com/pub/devzone/epd/201150.vi ) works exactly as I want an 8.6 application to - but the property node used in the example is no longer supported.
I can add/remove plots and resize the plot legend with 8.6 using the "LegNumRows" property however this property does not appear to behave the same way.
It seems this should be straight forward but I must be missing something.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi again!
I have implemented a method to shuffle the plots in the legend and was satisfied with one exception- the plot colors. This application allows the user to add or delete plots from the graph, adding a plot is easy as the new plot name gets appended to the next place on the legend and the number of rows grows by one. Deleting a plot is also quite easy but this action brought up a usability issue in that the existing plots that were shuffled on the legend would also shift their colorsaccordingly. To eliminate possible confusion I want to keep the correlation between existing plots and their assigned colors so I tried to use the plot color property to change the plot color programmatically with unexpected results.
Programmatically changing a color from the "Plot Colors" array does not change the color of that plot if it is set to any of the "Common Plots" wih the exception of "Common Plot 0" - i.e. this doesn't seem to work for Bar Plots which is what I am using.
I have attached a demo VI to illustrate this behavior - there are detailed free labels on the front panel which describe this in more detail.
Regards and thank's in advance!
