Need Help with cursor features
I just got my first job at a media buying place in NYC, and I'm loving it! my daily tasks include entering data, creating tons and tons of spreadsheets, and interpreting data. I know, sounds boring, but I like it.
Only problem I've been having deals with Excel. I have a type of dyslexia that makes it difficult to see the white space between lines. Contrary to the norm, I have no problem following left to right- or vice versa- however it is difficult to distinguish
one line from the next because of it's vertical proximity.
For example when I read, I often re-read the line I just finished because I lose my spot when I shift my eyes.
I was wondering if anyone knew of cursor features on excel that follows my cursor using dotted lines- sort of an X,Y coordinate feature- from the top and side tab. It'd make my life a whole lot easier especially if the dotted lines are a different color
from the background.
Any input would be great. I'm sure there's a feature, I just cant find it.
Greatly Appreciated,
-JS
Unfortunately there is no feature in Excel to do what you describe, not sure if Windows provides something like that as a general utility.
However it should be possible to develop an Excel macro to draw a line that follows the cursor. I have in mind something like press and keep depressed a key (say F9),and if/as the cursor moves a trail will follow, release the key and the macro terminates.
Optionally the trail could be cleared when the key is released, or cleared next time the key is depressed. That's all subject to developing and testing but would something along those lines be useful? If so explain anything else that's relevant or would be
useful.

I have quite a bit of text in several Word documents, and am ready to assemble them into chapters in InDesign with a .indb (book) file. Because of style sourcing, I don't know what to do first, and can't find anything in Help about it.
Do I create separate .indd files first, insert the text from Word and then link all the files to .indb? OR
Do I create a series of empty .indd files and link them with .indb, then (I don't know where) synchronize styles in all of them >before< adding text? OR
Do I create and stylize just one chapter, which then becomes the stylistic model for all the other chapters?
Do I even need to use .indb? My book is going to be about 200 pages, and I am the only person working on it.
I am eager to get going on designing my book, just not sure where to begin to do it. I >think< I understand the .indb concept.Hi Peter,
Thanks for answering my question.
I had a LOT of trouble figuring out last night how to post in the forums at
all (I'd also forgotten my IDs, which didn't help), so I was relieved just
to get into >any< InDesign forum! The system wouldn't let me into the plain
old InDesign forum (who knows why?), but >would< let me into Feature
Requests. And I decided that I was requesting information about a feature,
so no problem (sort of). Anyway, the Adobe forums are not very intuitive
like some others I post on. Many times the login wouldn't tell me I'd
gotten something wrong and would just bring up the home page again. It took
way too long to figure out what was going on, and then I had to figure out
how to post once I got to the forum. The last time I posted was a few years
ago, and it was just as tough then, so I wasn't relishing going through all
of that trouble again. It was trouble.
Thanks again for your help,

The WITH query_name clause lets you assign a name to a subquery block. You can then reference the subquery block multiple places in the query by specifying query_name. Oracle Database optimizes the query by treating the query name as either an inline view or as a temporary table.

Simply, it is like creating a view local to the query that can be used one or more times in the rest of the query. It has added benefits such as the potential to materialize the results, explicitly push predicates into the subquery, and perform hierarchical queries using the recursive feature.

3.why is the AS keyword used in this?Developer preference? It is optional when specifying a column alias, it seems many of the aliases in your query are unnecessary since they just duplicate the existing column name.
4.If I want to write a select staement for a cursor like this and see what is the data contained in the cursor ,how to write it ?You can view the results from the cursor the same way as any select query, e.g.

Need help with cursor selection in control panels
I can't get my cursor to work in the control panel at the top of the screen, for example, when I select text and want to change the font size, etc. It won't even select to change from font to paragraph mode. Other issues are trying to choose the selection tool, which I can only do with the "V" shortcut tool--escape doesn't work, nor does the cursor choose the icons. Help!
Windows? see InDesign tools and panels don't respond to mouse clicks (Windows 7/Vista)

Need help with Review feature in Acrobat X
Folks,
I am unable to send a PDF document for Email review using COMMENT feature in Acrobat X. I am not sure if it is failing due to document rights issue or email application configuration. Can someone help me troubleshoot?
Regards,You didn't say what error message you are getting or your email application. If it's an email issue, you might see an error message that says Adobe is unable to connect to your email program. Probably due to MAPI settings/ your email client. Outlook should work, web-based apps (Gmail) probably won't without some 3rd party add-in.
If is a rights-issue, go to File/Properties/Security and see if there are any restrictions on the file. -
Hi there,
I don't know what I did wrong, but the cursor in my project became an horizontal arrow with which I can't no longer highlight clips ...
I can't point anything...
The cursor still looks fine on the top of the TL
How can I go back ?
Many thanks
IvanIt sounds like you activated the Select Track Forward Tool. If you pressed t while editing, it turns this on. Simply press a or click on the normal pointer in the Tool Palette on the right.

I need Help with the dynamic link feature in CS3
Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me with an issue I am having? I have the adobe cs3 master collection. Having watched tutorials on the dynamic link feature my version seems not to have the same options as those I have viewed. I wish to send my premiere video creation to encore using dynamic link, however when I click "file" and then "adobe dynamic link" the only options available are about "adobe after effects". I can export to encore however I am only alloowed to export one premiere sequence to one new encore file, I cannot create an encore file and import several premiere sequence into the same encore project. That means currently I can only have an encore creation with one premiere sequence in it, and I have no adobe dynamic link. Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much for that guys but my premiere media encoder only lets me export as: MPEG1, MPEG1-VCD, MPEG2, MPEG2 blu-ray, MPEG2-DVD, MPEG2-SVCD, H.264, H.264 blu-ray, Adobe Flash Video, Quicktime, Real Media, Windows Media. Are any of these formats DV AVI?
Am I to export my videos direct to encore or save them elsewhere (e.g desktop). It seems that I cannot export sequences from different premiere projects to the same encore project.
Sorry if any of these questions seem obvious, I am just new to premiere and keen to do things right from the off.
Many thanks again guys.

Harm is correct. For SD DVD, exporting as a DV AVI file from Pr will give you good results. Encore's Automatic Transcoding will give you maximum quality for the available disc space.

FormsCentral retiring in July???!!! Are you freaking kidding me? My clients use this feature all the time. What do you suggest I do now? What service do I go with that is comparable to it? I need help with this asap!
I would suggest checking out http://www.logiforms.com. They have really good PDF support for both hosted PDF's and generating PDFs. You can:
populate PDF forms from a web form submission
Merge multiple PDF's together using conditional logic
Include uploaded images in the generated PDF
Get Electronic signatures on PDF's
Use conditional logic when creating PDF's
Convert HTML to PDF. You design in HTML and CSS and use form field wildcards and generate the PDF
More of the PDF features are explained here:
PDF Form Creator | PDF Form Maker | V3.Logiforms.com
They are also offering a 25% discount to anyone coming from Forms Central... -
Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service
Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")
Thank You,

Phenix City, Alabama 36869Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

Hi there
Ive tried to make my tank in my game shoot, all the code that is there works but when i push space to shoot which is my shooting key it does not shoot I really need help with this and I would appriciate anyone that could help
listed below should be the correct code
//checking if the space bar is pressed and shooting is allowed

newBullet.x = tank_mc.x;
//then we add the bullet to stage
addChild(newBullet);
listed below is my entire code

I need help with color pallette in iPhoto 11. I have created a book and would like to use a different color background than those given in "background." I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.
That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
Additionally I have no idea what you are saying here
I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.
And it always helps for you to dientify the version of iPhoto that you are using

HOW DO YOU GUYS DEAL WITH APPLE.. SO CONFUSING...NEED HELP WITH SPECS FOR PURCHASE OF IMAC 21.5
Hi guys, been reading your forums, blogposts, etc and am getting more confused. I'm just a video girl trying to produce meaningful content through web videos for small to mid sized businesses and want to come over from the dark side.
Good news,, I dont need a super giant system, I do simple editing for web videos, minimal graphics, no motion graphics, no animation etc. currently using CS4, will probably end up with 5.5.
I want to get imac 21.5 or 27 if i have to.. So here's the question we all have,,, what do I really need besides an Apple fairy godmother to figure this crazy stuff out?????
I want to be able to have firewire add on, but the rest is what I need help with. So i've been looking at cs6 specs, even though im not there yet, eventually will be,, so just need to run cs4 now and build from there. I also want to eventually move to final cut down the road so I want imac able to upgrade to final cut.
WHAT DO I REALLY NEED MINIMALLY FOR NOW? WHAT CAN I GET LATER IF i CHOOSE TO DO MORE AND NEED MORE POWER?
cs6:
Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
Mac OS X v10.6.8, v10.7, or v10.8**
4GB of RAM (8GB recommended)
4GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
Additional disk space required for preview files and other working files (10GB recommended)
1280x900 display
7200 RPM hard drive (multiple fast disk drives, preferably RAID 0 configured, recommended)
OpenGL 2.0–capable system
DVD-ROM drive compatible with dual-layer DVDs (SuperDrive for burning DVDs; Blu-ray burner for creating Blu-ray Disc media)
QuickTime 7.6.6 software required for QuickTime features
Optional: Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated performance
Any responses would be great. I know you guys are busy answering the really high end tech questionsAll the current iMac models (both 21.5" and 27" with OS X Mt. Lion 10.8) will run CS4, 5.5 and 6 just fine. They will also run Final Cut Pro X just fine. Ditto for most any application you may want to use.
Below are some notes (specific to your apparent requirements) that may help you with your purchase decision:
Notes on purchasing a 21.5" iMac
All 21.5" iMacs come with 8GB RAM but you cannot add more later. I strongly suggest getting the maximum RAM (16GB) when you order the iMac.
The basic hard drive is a 1TB 5400rpm drive. It will work fine with Adobe CS but you will probably want the added speed of the optional 1TB Fusion drive for better performance. Some people will recommend/argue for one of the optional SSD drives instead, but they are very expensive and still only come in relatively small capacities - I don't recommend the SSD drives. Get the Fusion drive and spend any extra money on a good external hard drive for backup and/or extra storage instead of an SSD.
Notes on purchasing a 27" iMac
All 27" iMacs come with 8GB RAM and you can add more later, up to 32GB
The basic hard drive is a 1TB 7200rpm drive - it will be fine with Adobe CS. There are upgrade options to a 3TB 7200rpm drive or a 1TB or 3TB fusion drive - these will be fine also. There are also SSD drive options, but I do not recommend them. (Same comments as above.)
Notes on all the current iMacs
iMacs no longer come with built-in CD/DVD drives. If you need one, you will need to purchase the Apple Superdrive accessory drive ($79)
All of the iMac graphic processors (GPU's) are compatible with Adobe CS 4, 5.5, 6
It is very difficult to impossible to change or upgrade the hard drive later on, so don't buy low-end thinking you can add a better internal hard drive later.
Be aware that Macs always come with the latest (most recent) version of OS X. And OS X Mavericks (10.9) is due to be released soon (in the next month or two). There is no guarantee that the older Adobe CS 4 or 5.5 versions will run on OS X Mavericks. If you cannot upgrade to CS 6 in the near future, you may want to purchase now rather than after OS X Mavericks is released.
For what it's worth, I'd recommend the 27" iMac if your budget can afford it. You will appreciate the larger screen size and added capabilities over the years you will use the computer. -
Hi, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post questions on this forum but I can't find anywhere to talk to helpful people about programming.
I'm making a dnd interface for JComponents. So far I've made a simple program that has a Component that can be lifted from a container and braught to the glass pane then later moved to anywhere on the screen and dropped into the container below it. Here's where my problems come:
1) Rite now my 'Movable Component' is a JPanel which is just colored in. I want to either take a Graphic2d from a JComponent/Component and draw it on the JPanel or change the JPanel to the component I want to paint and disable the component.
The problem with getting the Graphics2d is that if the component isn't on the screen it doesn't make a graphic object. I tried messing with the ui delicate and overriding parental methods for paintComponent, repaint, and that repaintChildren(forget name) but I haven't had luck getting a good graphics object. I was thinking of, at the beginning of running the program, putting 1 of each component onto the screen for a second then removing it but I'd rather not. I'd also like to change the graphics dynamicly if someone stretches the component there dropping and what not.
The problem with disabling is that it changes some of the visual features of Components. I want to be able to update the Component myself to change how it looks and I don't want disabling to gray out components.
I mainly just dont want the components to do any of there normal fuctions. This is for a page builder, by the way.
Another problem I'm having is that mouseMotionListener is allowing me to select 2 components that are on top of one another when there edges are near each other. I don't know if theres a fix to this other than changing the Java Class.
My next problem is a drop layout manager, but I'm doing pretty good with that rite now. It'll problem just move components out of the way of the falling component.
One last thing I need help with is that I don't want the object that's being carried to go across the menu bar and certain areas. When I'm having the object being carried I have it braught up to the glass pane which allows it to move anywhere. Does anyone have any idea how I could prevent the component from being over the menu bars and other objects? I might have to make 1 panel is the movable area that can then be broken down into the 'component bank', 'building page' and whatever else I'm gonna need.
This is all just test code to get together for when I make the real program but I need to make sure it'll be possible without a lot of hacking of code.
Sorry for the length. Thanks for any help you can give.The trick to making viewable components that have no behaviour, is to render them onto an image of some sort (eg a BufferedImage). You can then display the Image on a JLabel that can be dragged around the desktop.
Here is a piece of code that does the component rendering for you. This particular example uses a fixed component size, but you can modify that as you choose of course...public class JComponentImage
private static GraphicsConfiguration gConfig;
private static Dimension compSize = new Dimension(80, 22);
private static Image image = null;
public static Image getImage(Class objectClass)
if (gConfig == null)
GraphicsEnvironment gEnv = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
GraphicsDevice gDevice = gEnv.getDefaultScreenDevice();
gConfig = gDevice.getDefaultConfiguration();
image = gConfig.createCompatibleImage(compSize.width, compSize.height);
JComponent jc = (JComponent) ObjectFactory.instantiate(objectClass);
jc.setSize(compSize);
Graphics g = image.getGraphics();
g.setColor(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
g.fillRect(0, 0, compSize.width, compSize.height);
g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
jc.paint(g);
return image;
}And here is the class that makes the dragable JLabel using the class above...public class Dragable extends JLabel
private static DragSource dragSource = DragSource.getDefaultDragSource();
private static DragGestureListener dgl = new DragMoveGestureListener();
private static TransferHandler th = new ObjectTransferHandler();
private Class compClass;
private Image image;
Dragable(Class compClass)
this.compClass = compClass;
image = JComponentImage.getImage(compClass);
setIcon(new ImageIcon(image));
setTransferHandler(th);
dragSource.createDefaultDragGestureRecognizer(this,
DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY,
dgl);
public Class getCompClass()
return compClass;
}Oh and here is ObjectFactory which simply instantiates Objects of a given class and sets their text to their classname (very crudely)...public class ObjectFactory
public static Object instantiate(Class objectClass)
Object o = null;
try
o = objectClass.newInstance();
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("ObjectFactory#instantiate: " + e);
String name = objectClass.getName();
int lastDot = name.lastIndexOf('.');
name = name.substring(lastDot + 1);
if (o instanceof JLabel)
((JLabel)o).setText(name);
if (o instanceof JButton)
((JButton)o).setText(name);
if (o instanceof JTextComponent)
((JTextComponent)o).setText(name);
return o;
}Two more classes required by this codepublic class ObjectTransferHandler extends TransferHandler {
private static DataFlavor df;
* Constructor for ObjectTransferHandler.
public ObjectTransferHandler() {
super();
try {
df = new DataFlavor(DataFlavor.javaJVMLocalObjectMimeType);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
Debug.trace(e.toString());
public Transferable createTransferable(JComponent jC) {
Transferable t = null;
try {
t = new ObjectTransferable(((Dragable) jC).getCompClass());
} catch (Exception e) {
Debug.trace(e.toString());
return t;
public int getSourceActions(JComponent c) {
return DnDConstants.ACTION_MOVE;
public boolean canImport(JComponent comp, DataFlavor[] flavors) {
if (!(comp instanceof Dragable) && flavors[0].equals(df))
return true;
return false;
public boolean importData(JComponent comp, Transferable t) {
JComponent c = null;
try {
c = (JComponent) t.getTransferData(df);
} catch (Exception e) {
Debug.trace(e.toString());
comp.add(c);
comp.validate();
return true;
public class ObjectTransferable implements Transferable {
private static DataFlavor df = null;
private Class objectClass;
ObjectTransferable(Class objectClass) {
try {
df = new DataFlavor(DataFlavor.javaJVMLocalObjectMimeType);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.out.println("ObjectTransferable: " + e);
this.objectClass = objectClass;
* @see java.awt.datatransfer.Transferable#getTransferDataFlavors()
public DataFlavor[] getTransferDataFlavors() {
return new DataFlavor[] { df };
* @see java.awt.datatransfer.Transferable#isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor)
public boolean isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor testDF) {
return testDF.equals(df);
* @see java.awt.datatransfer.Transferable#getTransferData(DataFlavor)
public Object getTransferData(DataFlavor arg0)
throws UnsupportedFlavorException, IOException {
return ObjectFactory.instantiate(objectClass);
}And of course the test class:public class DragAndDropTest extends JFrame
JPanel leftPanel = new JPanel();
JPanel rightPanel = new JPanel();
Container contentPane = getContentPane();
Dragable dragableJLabel;
Dragable dragableJButton;
Dragable dragableJTextField;
Dragable dragableJTextArea;
* Constructor DragAndDropTest.
* @param title
public DragAndDropTest(String title)
super(title);
dragableJLabel = new Dragable(JLabel.class);
dragableJButton = new Dragable(JButton.class);
dragableJTextField = new Dragable(JTextField.class);
dragableJTextArea = new Dragable(JTextArea.class);
leftPanel.setBorder(new EtchedBorder());
BoxLayout boxLay = new BoxLayout(leftPanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS);
leftPanel.setLayout(boxLay);
leftPanel.add(dragableJLabel);
leftPanel.add(dragableJButton);
leftPanel.add(dragableJTextField);
leftPanel.add(dragableJTextArea);
rightPanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500,500));
rightPanel.setBorder(new EtchedBorder());
rightPanel.setTransferHandler(new ObjectTransferHandler());
contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
contentPane.add(leftPanel, "West");
contentPane.add(rightPanel, "Center");
public static void main(String[] args)
JFrame frame = new DragAndDropTest("Drag and Drop Test");
frame.pack();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setVisible(true);
}I wrote this code some time ago, so it won't be perfect but hopefully will give you some good ideas.

Tim -
I am usung the Captivate reviewer to distribute draft modules.
The problem I am havving is the .LOCK file - when someone goes to review the module, they have to specify the location of a temp file. (the .lock file). When they have finished that module, then they have to either specify a new location for the next module, ot manually delete the lock file.
Is there a way to disable the comments logging feature, or have the lock file automatically deleted?
Thanks
TerryThank you.
