Newbee help, how to make a outlook styled bar.

Hi all,
I'm a beginner in Java and i want to make a toolbar that's like the outlook bar feature in the left hand corner of the screen, where you have a series of buttons ( or button like components). By clicking on any of these buttons, the screen is split up and displays a menu of components according to the button that was clicked. The position of the buttons also changes when it is clicked.
What i want to do is to open a frame (or something) when you click on one of the components in the menu.
I want to implement such a functionality in java. Can some one out there give an idea as to which swing components could be used to implement the above, because i realy don't know how to do this. Or if any one has done a similar thing, your code sample would be of much use.
Thanks in advance,
fifnux.

  • Please help : How to make the anomalistic table just like below?

    Hi all,
    How to make the anomalistic table just like below? Anyone can give the way detail or thoughtway ?
    http://61.132.17.188/webber/table.gif

    This is just a suggestion.
    If you put your "JTable" in a "JScrollPane", then you can add any "java.awt.Component" to the corner of the "JScrollPane" -- using the "setCorner()" method (of "JScrollPane").
    I would suggest making a custon "JPanel" and overriding its "paintComponent()" method to draw a diagonal line (and the required text) on it.
    You can find out more about how to do this from the links I provided in my first reply.
    Hope this helps.
    Good Luck,
    Avi.

  • Help: how to make photo enlargements?

    hi there, i'm am currently constucting a website using iweb. i have managed to create a photo page with all the thumbnails i need.
    can anyone tell me how to make it so when someone clicks on a particular thumbnail and enlargement or the actual size of the photo opens up in a separate window as you find in regular galleries?
    also, is this an effective method, or does it take up a lot more memory when uploading the site, or would it just be better to have larger thumbnails that are more visable?
    any help is appreciated, thanks!

    This should be already happening if you are using a photo page template.

  • Seek help: How to make XI 3.0 BOE Cluster

    My aim to make cluster is:
    1. High availability, that is, when Server A is down, Server B can take place.
    2. Let job servers on Server B to join Server A's large load publication task to improve performance.
    My Steps:
    1. New install BOE XI 3.0 on both Server A and Server B, both win2003 sp2 OS.
    2. Server A is installed first, so it use an Oracle DB as the CMS repository. And Server B is pointed to the same repository.
    I want to change Server B's file store's location after adding Server B's CMS into cluster, however, I found when logging into the CMC, I can only see all servers from server A, and Server B's cms in the server List, and no Server B's node in CCM's SIA list.
    The problem is :
    1. Server B's cms is stoped, (it's enabled), and I tried manully start it, but failed.
    2. How can I let job servers on Server B to register into the new cluster, I don't find any place to see them.
    In XI R2, I can add -ns newCluster into servers' command line.
    I think, I don't follow the right steps, any one can help?
    Thanks in advance!
    Jennie

    Clustering XI3 servers is explained in detail starting on page 266 in the Admin Guide.
    In a nut shell, you will need to delete your current SIA on server B, then add a new SIA in CCM pointing it to the same CMS DB SIA on server A is using.
    Once you see new node in CMC, you can clone all servers from node A to node B, which will keep all the server settings they have in A. Including FRS location.

  • 8i+WebDB HELP:How to make longer fields for "News items"

    If I try to publish long sized News I receive an Error:

    Hi, Lu:
    If I understand your question correctly, you want to modify the FSG of recociliation account of Vendor/Customer to make sure Cost Center/WBS field display in transaction F-22/F-43 for example, right?
    I am not sure whether it is possible, I also tried in ECC6.0 but failed to show these two fields. And I think that doesn't make sense to assign CO object to AP/AR reconciliation account, but assign it to Revenue/Expense account in following line items.
    And You can use New General Ledger functionality Document Splitting to derive corresponding CO object information to Reconciliation Account line item, but it is enabled only in General Ledger level, not in subledger level.
    If you find any other meaningful solution, please also share with us.
    Thanks & BR, Lawrence

  • Help, how to make Finder to refresh custom icon programmatically

    Hi
    I have two file both are same name, e.g. 1.rtf, but with different custom icon.
    When I copied the first 1.rtf to an USB drive, the custom icon was displayed correctly.
    However, when copied the second file to the USB drive to replace the first file, Finder still showed the custom icon of the first file.
    How can I solve this issue and how can I make Finder to refresh the custom icon programmatically.
    Thanks

    Hi KT, thanks your reply & help
    but result is same. The following is my experiment
    STEP 1: copy 1.rtf to USB drive, the result is OK.
    STEP 2: copy another 1.rtf to USB drive, Finder still showing the 1st file icon and a little bit blurred
    STEP 3: copy 3rd file without custom icon, the result is OK
    STEP 4: using following code to set its custom icon, the result is still show the custom icon of the 1st file
    [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] setIcon:image forFile:[filePath stringValue]  options:nil];
    It seems that Finder will has some cache to store file's custom icon. If use "Force Quit" to relaunch Finder, it become correct but how can I use program code to refresh it without "Force Quit"?

  • Help, how to make a program type in a command in command prompt?

    I've got a small code that only works if you type in something like this (assume that the .java file is smallcode.java):
    c:\>java smallcode filename.dcm
    on the other hand, in my main program I have a if else ladder that I want to fit in this code, when my file chooser choose the file type .dcm, I want it to execute the command above, how can I do it?

    1. Not sure if your file is an absolute path name,
    like "c:\files\file.dcm". If it's not, then it has to
    be in the same directory as where your running
    picviewer from. I always use the absolute path just
    to be safe.you know what, you just point out how stupid I am, the path is relative, it depends on where the user surf into, I get the directory like this:
    FileDialog fd = new FileDialog(this, "Select Directory", 0);
    String directory = fd.getDirectory();
    String fileName = fd.getfileName();
    >
    2. Your command string is wrong, try:
    String cmd = ("cmd /c d:\\java
    project\\picviewer\\test\\java DicomViewer " +
    "\""+file+"\"");You are missing a space between DicomViewer and the
    file name. Also, to make sure that it doesn't parse
    the file name, put it in quotes (like I have done
    above).I see, I'll modify the code and come back in couple minutes.
    thanks

  • Help: How to make JDeveloper to connect to Oracle repository through CMAN?

    Hi folks,
    I have a very dummy problem.
    I have JDeveloper on Linux.
    I have on Oracle SCM Repository in a database, which is across WAN.
    The database is accessible through connection manager.
    BUT HOW DO I EXPLAIN TO JDEVELOPER , that there is a Connection Manager. It only allows me to enter host:port:sid. It doesn't allow me to enter custom JDBC URL.
    This is really missing functionality...
    Please help me,
    Regards,
    Mihail Daskalov

    The support for Oracle SCM in JDeveloper can only connect via thin JDBC. This always requires a host, port and SID. The limitation is due to underlying limitations in the libraries we use to connect to Oracle SCM.
    Is your database connection using OCI? We have an existing enhancement request for OCI support (2700757), but let me know if it's another connection type, and I'll add that to the ER.
    Thanks,

  • Animation Help - how to make an endless animation loop

    Hi All,
    I'm new to Director so bare with me.
    I want to animate a filmstrip graphic that moves left horizontally across the page and eventually repeats itself (reenters the stage from the right side) in an endless loop. Think of a piece of masking tape taped together in a circle, and then rotate the piece of tape in a circle as you look at it.
    What I am currently doing that doesn't work:
    I have created two filmstrip graphics that I have put on different sprites and animated them so that they look like a single piece sliding across the screen. The page loads with Sprite A lying across the screen and starts to animate towards the left. Sprite B follows the right hand side of Sprite A so that it appears as one single graphic. Each graphic is the exact width of the stage. The problem occurs when I get to the end of the 2nd sprite. I want the first sprite to follow the 2nd sprite creating an endless loop. If I code some lingo at the end of the Sprite B to jump back to the beginning of the Sprite A animation, it gives an awkward jump that replaces Sprite B with the Sprite A contents.
    Hopefully my description makes sense. Suggestions or pointers to a tutorial that explains how to do this? My lingo experience so far is VERY limited, and only covers a few pages of very basic commands covering animations, video playback, audio controls, and a few other minor descriptions provided by my instructor.
    I am working with Director 11.5 on a Mac at school (fully licensed version), and 11.5 trial version on a PC at home.
    Thanks,
    Brian H.

    Hi Brian,
    Are you looking at doing something like:
    1. http://kayingleside.com/metamorph.html
    or
    2. http://britton.disted.camosun.bc.ca/metamorphose.html
    The first one is using Shockwave 3D and making the image a map on a cylinder. The second one is a 2D image that loops, which is what I kind of understood yours as being.
    There is a Director tutorial that explains the idea at:
    http://www.director-online.com/buildArticle.php?id=467
    As you'll see at teh bottom of the above page, it was inspired by the work of Jim Collins, who created the first 2 URL I put in this message.
    There is another demo that does example 2 exactly. I thought it was on Director Online but can't seem to find it. I have a demo Director file if you'd like to see it.

  • HELP HOW TO MAKE IPOD SCREEN SHOW UP ON WINDOWS 7 LAPTOP!

    Please help I want to get myh ipod screen to show up on my laptop but I don't know how. HELP!!!!!

    I do not fully understand you question.  If you mean you want to watch the screen of your iPod on your computer the answer is no.  There are video-out connectors you can purchase for your iPod that will output VGA, composite and component signals.  If your laptop can accept such a signal you can see the TV output on your laptop.  However, the output does not mirror the iPOd screen and it only works with apps that support TV out.

  • How to make the Outlook 2007 reminder pop-up appear in the foreground

    We are migrating from Windows XP and Office 2003 to Windows 7 and Office 2007. One of the complaints from our pilot users is that the Outlook reminder pop-up displays under/behind other application windows. Is there a way to modify this behavior so the Outlook reminder pop-up appears in the foreground?

    Opened a case with Microsoft on this one, and here is the official response:
    "After consulting and performing further investigation, we confirm that it was the intended design of Outlook 2007 that the Outlook reminders do not interrupt an application which has focus. Instead, reminders will only flash in the taskbar and produce the reminder sound.
    For many the taskbar changes in Windows 7 for the reminders are not enough to grab the user's attention to the new reminder, especially if sound is not enabled on the user's computer. Often appointments are missed due to the overlooked reminder.
    Microsoft has noticed this issue and the similar cases are already recorded in the database. Please rest assured that I will forward this request of making the Outlook reminder appear in the foreground to the appropriate development and usability experts for the purpose of improving user experience in the future. We strive to capture any and all product feedback so as to ensure that we are continuously developing Microsoft products to meet and satisfy the needs of as many customers as possible."
