Nice looking GUI controls

Hi,
do you know a way how to create such a control:
toolbar on a top and some other thing (e.g. tree) on the bottom? Well, this is quite simple, you can use splitter and put a toolbar to the top container and tree to the bottom container, but then it looks, let's say, not very nice, because there is a gray line between and toolbar has no background. I would like to create the same set of controls, but e.g. like in ALV Grid, so toolbar on a gray background and between a toolbar and a tree nice black thin line. Do you think that it is possible?
Many thanks for some hints and regards,
Marcin

search the forums, this question has been asked in other forums MANY times.
the basic answer is NO,
there are several ways of getting a similar effect, but none are a 'proper' solution.

Ugly frames in java. Want to make a nice looking gui.

Well basically i don't want to use a square ugly standard java frame, or usual window.
I want it to be individually shaped. Just like the windows media player.
If you put it in compact mode, it removes all visuals of a real windows and looks really good.
Is that possible to do with java? And if so, how?

Need help in SQL Queries using GUI controls or variables

Hello, all
I have a big problem (I have already had with Visual Basic a few mounths ago) with Java while writing my SQL Queries.
I would like to know how I must do to use variable data or GUI control data in my SQL Query to select only some records.
Here, my first Query that works without any problem (no WHERE clause !!!) :
Statement requeteBedes = connectBedes.createStatement();
ResultSet resultatSeries = requeteBedes.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM Series");
initComboBoxSeries(resultatSeries);the method "initComboBoxSeries" fills a JComboBox with all the names of the series in my database.
Here comes my problem.I would like to use the value of the selected "series" in the JComboBox to search in another table of the same Database. I made another statement but it returns a Null ResultSet :
ResultSet resultatSearchAlbumsFromSeries = requeteBedes.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM bandes_dess WHERE ser_nom = '" + strComboBoxSeriesSelected + "' "); The variable strComboBoxSeriesSelected contains the value of the selected line in the combobox with all the series, filled after the first query that is here above and that works very well.
Could some one help me and tell me how I must use variables or GUI controls values in my SQL Queries or tell me if there is a place where I could find an explanation of that kind of problems (like more "advanced SQL Queries", as the ones currently used in all the Learning Java 2 books)
Thank you all for your help.
Christian.

executeQuery() will never return null. At least that's what the spec says. You are probably catching an exception (probably a syntax error caused by a single quote in strComboBoxSeriesSelected) and ignoring it. Or do you mean the ResultSet contains no rows?
Anyway, to use parameterized queries, take a look at PreparedStatements. Your code should look like this using PreparedStatement:Statement requeteBedes = connectBedes.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM bandes_dess WHERE ser_nom = ?");
requeteBedes.setString(1, strComboBoxSeriesSelected);
ResultSet resultatSeries = requeteBedes.executeQuery();Alin.

Is that possible to change parent of GUI Controll?

Hi,
I have to change parent of GUI Control. I have a Splitter with two Controls (b.e. 1 x 2 )and would like to delete one. After that I would like to change grid ( 1 x 1 ) and show in this the second view. But after I have called splitter->set_grid(1 1) my container which include second view is no more valid, I have to get new one from splitter but how can I bind it with my view?
Regards
Bogdan

Hello Bogdan
If you look at the parent attribute of different classes (e.g. CL_GUI_ALV_GRID, CL_GUI_ALV_TREE) then it is a public, <b>READ-ONLY</b> instance attribute. Based on this property I would assume that it is not possble to switch the parent of a GUI control.

Customize the look of controls in LabView6

Hi
Since we updated to LabView6.1 we got all this nice looking 3D-Object. But sometimes i would like to remove this "feature". E.g. if i would like to put a Graph into a green background i would like to remove the gray border. Setting the border to the same green as the background doesn't help because LabView applies its 3D look. The same applies to String Controls.
Our workaround is to Copy&Past a graph from a LabView5 Application. But there must be a better solution.
Thanks a lot
Alex

In addition you also have the ability to do a Edit -> Customize Control which would actually allow you to edit the control itself to conform to what you like. You can then save this new "Custom Control" for future use.

How to create good looking GUI workflows without Infopath forms

Hi All,
I have to create Good looking GUI without using Infopath Forms for use in workflows.
Since Infopath support will gradually go off I want to use some other technique so that it can be used in long run.
Please let me know a good solution.

You can use Visio to obtain nice visual flows.. for your workflow.. In 2013 you can use visual designer..
Please refer link below..

Nintex or K2 are good options specifically nintex if you can afford them..

How do I turn on the GUI controls for the Focus Blur Effect in Final Cut Pro X

I can't find the setting that enables the GUI control overlay to manipulate the parameters of the Focus blur effect in Final Cut Pro X. When I have the clip and the focus effect selected I only get a center element overlay. At one point I had controls for all the other elements of this effect.
anyone know a shortcut or how I can toggle these controls back on?

I don't see any other screen controls either.
Maybe there was a change sometime, or maybe you were using a different effect?

I am looking to control a 4-way hydraulic solenoid valve. Do I need a PID control toolset, or can i control the system through my 16E4 daq card and scxi chasis

I am looking to control a 4-way hydraulic solenoid valve. Do I need a PID control toolset, or can i control the system through my 16E4 daq card and scxi chasis

I think you're asking 2 different questions.
The PID control toolset is for using PID loops for control; it's just software.
The DAQ card and scxi chassis are hardware. If you have the appropriate signal conditioning cards in your chassis to control/monitor your solenoid valve, then you can run a PID loop.
I believe the simple answer is: the PID control toolset is the best way to do control, but there are simple PID VI's (even on this website) that you can download and use for simple control.

How to change the attributes of GUI CONTROLS in my own program.

hi all,
i just want to change the attributes of GUI CONTROLS in my own program.
for example `
How to set an ICON on my GUI BUTTON in the program?
so what's the mapping between CONTROL in the SCREEN PAINTER and variable in the program?

Hi Chao Liu,
Ya , u first find out the PF-STATUS of the screen and goto that status and now u can modify the ICON u want .
Finding the GUI status of the screen
Goto that TRANSACTION CODE or SCREEN
On the Standard Menu bar Goto ( Menu path) System --> Status
Now u get a pop-up System :status in that in SAP Data block u can find GUI Status. Now Double Click on that Status. It takes u to the Status of that screen.
Now click on the Display --> Change Button on the application tool bar.
If it is a standard GUI-status then it asks for the ACCESS KEY.
if it is a custom defined GUI Status then u can change the status .
reward if helpful

Is there any Free, nice looking Squirrelmail theme out there?

All the themes for Squirrelmail looks like s*.
Are there any nice looking ones out there?
I've seen some packkages you can buy, but they look like XP!
I think apple should have designed their own theme to ship with SquirrelMail that follows their otherwise clean look, so you notice you're logged into a mac box!

I wouldn't go that route.
It's not just a matter of applying a different skin. Squirrelmail only knows about themes, which in essence are just color table variations.
The themes you can find on the internet ( http://nutsmail.com/ / http://www.voxthemes.com/squirrelmail.php ) actually tap into all of SquirrelMail's source pages. In other words they modify SquirrelMail per se. This also means that you will need the theme supplier to supply you with an updated version of Squirrelmail each and every time there are changes.
What you can do is choose a color scheme of your liking and do a few adjustments of your own. It won't look like http://www.voxthemes.com/squirrelmail.php , but if chosen wisely it will look good enough.

Techniques Needed To Create The Following Nice Looking Look

I saw the following nice looking tool tips, created using JavaScript JQuery Toolkit.
I was planning to implement a similar look in my Java standalone application.
I was wondering what is the techniques needed to create such effect?
[http://sites.google.com/site/yanchengcheok/Home/Tooltip.PNG?attredirects=0]
The things come out from my head are :
Transparency - java.awt.AlphaComposite
Gradient Background - java.awt.GradientPaint
Background Shadow - ???
White Line Around The Black Box - LineBorder ?
What is the keyword I shall look for, for the technology marked with ???
Thanks.

custom painting. I'd say it is a black/dark gray background, but with an alpha composite it is smoothed out to create a shadow effect. A simple google search for "java2D shadow" provided me with this page as the first hit:

Thread synchronize with GUI controls

I need to modify some GUI controls (append text to JTextArea) from my custom thread..
Javadoc say that the method append of JTextArea is thread-safe, but if I call it from my thread the application go in blocking-state
So I try to use, SwingUtilities.invokeLater but when I try to append some text to JTextArea, the application go in blocking-state..
How can I do for synchronize method call from my thread to main thread..?
Thanks..

This is my code:
private void WriteDebugSafe(final String str)
          Runnable WriteText = new Runnable()
     public void run()
     debug.append(str+"\n");
     SwingUtilities.invokeLater(WriteText);
After the call to invokeLater.. the application go in blocking-state.
This appened sometimes.. NOT systematically..

Nice looking tables

Hi-
just created a Spry data set with images and text. The functionally works great but the format (appearance) really leaves a lot to be desired. Is there any nice looking front-end display tables they I can display my data in. I've seen many websites with really super hot tables (rows, columns) with data inside. I am not sure where I would begin being I've used the Spry Data Set and how I should integrate it. I also was looking to use a mouseover effect with the images in the Spry data set, but the normal Dreamweaver (Insert > Image Objects > Rollover Image) does not work. I also tried the (Edit Tag > Events >OnMouseOver), but that did not work either. Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong, and where I can find the right procedures.
Thanks for your help

Page breaks would not be a poblem if columns were kept narrow, as they have been, formatted in Illustrator. I gather that 'looks' or 'formatting' is the key that makes tables turn into a lot of work. From what you are saying is then is that there is no magic software and tables are inherently in need of greater quantities of human intervention if they are going to look good and work correctly.
I will go back to the client then and tell them that tables are inherently 'labor intensive' and give prices to fit accordingly.
So, also a question: Are you saying that Smart Styles from Woodwing is good for adding extra formatting down the road? The client wants to add columns for the new version. Won't InDesign do that as well?
I get the idea though, Tables are a lot of work.
