NetBeans SetAction Dialog box - can't customize with default editor

I'm new to this so be patient....thanks..
I used NetBeans IDE to create a basic jpanel that has a jfilechooser and three functional buttons of my own. I want one of the buttons to run a background task. According to the Neteans SetAction documentation, I should be able to go to the properties of the component (various ways), then click on the elipses (...) for action for the button, then edit the action to make it a background task. I was hoping to use the default editor wizard to make this button launch a background task.
When I select the elipses for action (pulling up the SetAction Dialog box) I get the message that "Custom Editing of This Property is not Supported"
Any ideas? This inability exits on other panels/buttons I have created in experimenting to solve this problem. Is there a global setting in NetBeans IDE that turns on/off custom editing of functions using default editor?
Ultimately I want this actionPerformed to run in the background (I'm assuming this must implement SwingWorker??)....attempts at coding up the actionPerformed method to use SwingWorker to run the actionPerformed method haven't worked for me (yet). If I can get the IDE editor to do this for me I won't have to figure this part out.
Thanks if you can help

You may have better luck getting an answer for this if you ask this in a NetBeans-specific forum as this is not a Java problem. Good luck.

    Hi,
    In addition to setting DO_SUM = 'X' you need to specify function in H_FTYPE field. It should be set to 'AVG' in your case.
    ls_fielcat-do_sum = 'X'.
    ls_fieldcat-h_ftype = 'AVG.

  • Open File dialog box in photoshop CS3 with cintiq 12wx

    Hello all,
    I can't be the only one with this problem. Whenever I open a file in CS3 on my Cintiq 12WX, the file open dialogue appears on my primary monitor instead of my cintiq. No matter what I do, it always appears there. Every other dialog box appears on the cintiq, except the open one. It is extremely frustrating. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  • Upgraded to Mountain Lion and CS3, I am no longer able to access the correct dialog box for fine printing with Epson Stylus Photo 1400.

    I have recently upgraded my Mac OS to Mountain Lion, and am using Photoshop CS3 together with Lightroom 5. To my absolute horror, in either Adobe program I am no longer able to access the dialog box which allows me to choose paper type, size, and print quality when attempting to print on my Epson Stylus Photo 1400. An excruciating hour on the phone with largely unintelligible folks at Epson seemed to prove the problem lies with Adobe instead of Epson. I'd greatly appreciate whatever advice might be forthcoming from the Community.

    Well, this seemed to work.. can't believe it! After a year of messing with this!
    from Stevejones5
    "I found a way around this problem. GO to HD/Library/Printers/Epson/InkjetPrinter/ICCProfiles and you will find a file labeled Pro38.profiles. This is a package file. Control click on it and reveal contents. Then you can copy all the profiles and paste them into your Colorsync folder either in the HD/Library folder or your own Home folder/Library. Then the profiles will show up in Photoshop and Lightroom."
    Key, is to Control click on the printer to "Open contents". Then open Resource folder. Copy everything in it and then paste it into the "Colorsync" folder in your Library.  (Remember, to get to Library you have to hold the command key down for it to appear in "Go" Menu for Finder.
    Then I reinstalled printer driver from Apple, then rebooted computer, then plugged in printer. And VOILA-- I can now select Epson Premium Photo Paper Luster!

  • Reader 9, blank dialog box, can't open PDF from web

    I have a newly custom built computer running XP Pro (Quad-core with 3g of ram). I have a fresh install of Reader 9 and Firefox 3.0.1. When trying to open a PDF shipping label from USPS.com, Reader opens and an empty dialog box appears with only the OK button. When I click OK, Reader closes. I cannot print my shipping labels. Please help.

    Same problem here. It took me a while, but I got it to work.
    Changing on how the content type would be handled did it for me.
    Check the image here:

    I needed to change the entry for 'PDF Document'. I set it to the top option. Doing this and testing it right away yielded in a crash. After restarting firefox the problems were gone.
    More info on the image above: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Adobe_Reader
    My guess is that the Adobe reader couldn't handle the fact that firefox hadn't downloaded the document yet, but was still trying to get it to open.

  • Password Dialog Box: Can we default to "not now" instead?

    When the password/keychain dialog box drops down when you enter username/passwords on websites, the highlighted/default option is to add it to keychain.
    Is there any way that this can be defaulted to "NOT NOW" .... like in Firefox.
    This seems like the best option instead of defaulting to add it to the keychain. I have sometimes accidentally hit enter and had it add to the keychain (then I have to find it and delete it out again).

  • Screen Lock Login Dialog Box Can not type in

    Hi,
    I set up the computer such that the sleep locks the screen - need to type password to log back in. Right now, when I try to log back in, the dialog box does not let me type in the Name or Password boxes, can not click on ok or cancel... its as if the dialog box is all grayed out. I can not regain access. Its the first time it has happened. How can I get my dialog box to accept input? I'd prefer not to perform a simulated power failure...
    Thanks,

    if you have fast user switching turned on then wake from sleep dialog has a "switch users" button which will take you to the login window. you can try that if it's there. but if it's not there then there is nothing else you can do but do a hard reboot.

  • No Insert Flash dialog box in PPT files with links to Word

    Presenter will not display the "Insert Flash (swf)" dialog box in PowerPoint presentations that have slides linked to a Word document.
    It works fine in PPT presentations that do not have the links to Word.

  • Print Dialog box has changed along with printing function

    I installed the latest update and now when I print there is a new dialog box. The problem is on a multi page job it only pulls a few pages from the paper tray and then makes me use the manual feeder for the remaing pages, All paper sizes of the print job are the same and I only have one tray. I am printing on a Brother MFC 4860N. Any solutions? Thanks

    Carolyn -
    Thank you for your respose of 5/1/09 -- sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
    1.) I tried your suggestion, but the problem is that Apple and HP have worked to include all/most of the HP software into OS X v. 10.4.11 and beyond. I did not find in my user/.../Library/Preferences .plist files directly referencing my HP 990 Cse printer, which was the only printer not displaying the Printer Dialogue Box.
    Open your User/..../Library/Preferences to see the list of .plist files for HP and other manufacturers.
    The open the [top level] your-hard-drive/library/Printers/HP to see the [root=basic] files which, I believe, are the actual OS X system files which are on the original System CD or are downloaded for the updates.
    2.) I finally got the Printer Dialogue Box for the HP 990 Cse to work --
    a.) I ran the OS X Printer Setup Utility app.
    b.) I then dragged the icon for the HP 990 Cse printer to the trash; and emptied the trasn.
    c.) Restarted the OS X.
    d.) Ran the OS X Printer Setup Utillity app again
    e.) When the HP 990 Cse did not appear in the list of printers I clicked the "Add" icon.
    f.) I selected to add the HP 990 to the Printer List
    g.) Nothing happened when I tried to access the HP 990 Printer Dialogue Box.
    h.) I did a restart.
    i.) I then did a print job using the HP 990.
    j.) When the HP 990 icon appeared at the right end of the dock, next to the trash, I grabbed it and dragged it to the place in the dock where I wanted it to reside.
    IT WORKS JUST GREAT NOW !!!!
    Thanks for your help, as you helped me consider the problem at a deeper level.

  • Open/save dialog boxes stuck at (too small) default size

    I've been having a relatively small issue with Mountain Lion that has become a big hassle. In past versions of OS X, whenever I'd resize an open/save dialog box in an application, it would be that size the next time I went to open/save. In Mountain Lion, however, those dialog boxes always default to the smallest possible size (which is too small to read a filename longer than a few characters). so I have to resize the dialog box — every time! I open and save a lot of files, so this gets pretty tedious. This doesn't seem to happen in apple programs, but it definitely does in the Office Suite and the Adobe Creative Suite, especially in CS4 Photoshop and Illustrator. Might be I can fix it by myself but I can't imagine where I may dig it.

  • No longer able to select a Printer in Print Dialog Box - Windows 7 with CS

    SInce installing Windows 7 I can no longer select a printer in the Page Setup Dialog Box. Instead it always defaults to the default printer. Is there a fix for this?

    You assume too much. I am not mucking around with the iPhoto Library.
    Here is an example of my problem:
    Open Address Book
    Select a Contact
    Click Edit
    Double Click the Photo icon
    A dialog appears for me to "Choose" a photo
    Click Choose...
    Another dialog appears for me to browse to the photo that I would like to attach to that conract
    I select my username under "Favorites", then expand the "Pictures" folder
    When I click on iPhoto Library, I am no longer able to expand it and presented with the photos, events, faces, albums within it, but only get an icon for the iPhoto Library instead.
    This is part of the way a Mac works, and is now broken. It exhibits this in Address Book and any other program, and it was working fine until I installed PSE 10.

  • Dialog box with default starting location?

    Running LV2010.  I want to prompt a user to save a file by opening a dialog box.  This way the user can select the file and location of the file.  Problem is, I want to open the dialog box starting in a default folder that I choose.  The LV help for file functions say that if I wire a path to the file (use dialog) input and the file doesn't exist, it will throw an error.  Is there a way to get it to open a dialog box that starts in a default folder?  Thanks.
    Solved!

    File Dialog.vi has a 'start path' input. A dialog box will pop up starting at this path.

  • How to set serialnumb​ers in the Batch UUT Identifica​tion dialog box?

    Hello,
    I've configured TestStand to use the 'batch process model' and I'm trying to read serialnumber from a file and then update the 'Batch UUT Identification dialog box' 'test socket' fields with these numbers. How?

    Hi Thom-ve-as,
    The serial numbers for each test socket in the batch model are obtained within the "PreBatch" callback sequence, called from within the Test UUTs execution entry point of the model.
    If you override this callback within your client sequence file (or customize the process model file inside of your User directory) so that instead of displaying the dialog that the model uses to gather serial numbers from an operator, you can replace this process with functionality that reads a file and then writes to the properties below to set the serial numbers for each test socket and the batch.
    Inside of the PreBatch callback sequence, you access the test socket serial numbers and batch serial number with the following respective properties:
    Parameters.Mod
    elData.TestSockets[i].UUT.SerialNumber
    and
    Parameters.ModelData.BatchSerialNumber

  • File Open Dialog Box

    Under my install of Vista Enterprise on an AD network, I'm am not getting the "computer" option to access local and network drives when I select "File/Open".  All I get is the redirected "home" directory for that user.  True for all Adobe applications (have the latest Creative Suite 4).  Other Windows apps using Windows file/open dialog box can get to the network.  Tech support said I should have an option to select the OS dialog box, but I do not see that on my install.

    In Edit > Preferences > File Handling, uncheck "Enable Version Cue".  This is where you will find it in CS4; earlier versions may have slight variations.  In some versions, you may also get a checkbox in the file open dialog (down at the lower left, as I recall) that lets you select OS dialog or Adobe dialog.   Also, in Bridge (again CS4), go to Edit > Preferences > Startup Scripts, and uncheck Adobe Version Cue CS4.  (I have this unchecked, and even with Enable Version Cue checked in PS I don't get the Adobe dialog or the option to set it, so the setting in bridge seems to be the master.)
