Placing a new Jpanel on a JFrame without moving the existing components.

I am creating an application in which data is entered over several screens a next button is used to get to the next screen similar to how a wizard functions. To do this I use a JFrame with several panels on top of it each panel on top of the jframe rather than on top of each other. Each panel contains buttons and radio buttons.
The problem I have is that every time I drag a new Jpanel on to the JFrame it pushes all my carefully arranged controls on the existing panel to the side. The problem seems to be partly because when a new panel is dragged on to the screen it is placed as a component on the already existing panel rather than on the JFrame.
Is there a way to freeze the components on the panel so they wont more or to place a panel directly onto the jframe rather than onto the previous jpanel to avoid disrupting the previous frame.
I have played around with the properties but have not had any luck.
Thanks for any help.

  • Closing all JFrames without killing the application

    Is there a way I can close all JFrames without quiting the application? I have several JFrames open that I want to dispose of at the same time. Is this possible?

    If you close all the JFrames, then how does the user
    interact with the application?I think that's outside the scope of the original question, but there are a number of possibilities. To name just a few:
    1) The console
    2) The program opens a new JFrame after some time has elapsed (maybe an appointment reminder application, or an instant messenger client, for example)
    3) The program is really a server, so you don't need to see anything
    4) The program is "spyware" so it's meant to be hidden
    5) The program runs in full-screen mode part of the time (for example, a game which uses JFrames to choose options, then full-screen for game play)

  • How do you move a track region in Garage Band to a new starting point without altering the existing length of the track?

    How do you move a track region in Garage Band to a new starting point without altering the existing length of the track? Thanks.

    What exactly are you trying to do? You can drag any region by grabbing it in the middle of the upper area with the highlighted name of the region. However, if you move it towards the end of the track, the length of the track will get longer, to accommodate the extra part of the region. DO you want to speed up the region, to shorten it or do you want to trim it? You can simply grab the right margin of the region and drag it, to make the region shorter.

    I appear to be one of thousands who are all expressing their outrage in a rational and intelligent manner which cannot be said for your lebvel 4 + collegues on this forum.
    Finally there has been an ongoing issue wiith the iPad 3 Wifi on certain wifi only models , I have not encountered it and it seems clear neither have you. That of course does not discount the fact that many others have experienced this issue , an issue which may reveal itself to you or I in the future particularly as I have only been using mine for a fortnight.

  • How do you move an Event Library without moving the physical media

    I've got a large library of media that needs to be organized, with new keywords.  I have multiple people on different computers attacking portions of the media all stored on a single raid, accessed via gigabit ethernet.  When the libraries are created on each computer, the media is kept in it's original place.  Because the drive is networked, FCP X won't let me place the Event Library on the drive, though I can access the media.  It will also not let me move or duplicate the libraries to the networked drive.  If I connect a drive locally, I can move, copy or duplicate the Event Library, but, here's the problem, instead of copying the alias' to the media, and keeping it like the original event library, it copies the full media into the new library, unnecessarily.
    Has anybody found how to copy the Copy, Move or Duplicate the Event Libraries without moving the actual media to the new Library?  I'd like to copy the new libraries to the networked drive where the media is stored and then relink the files.  Then I could merge each computers Library into a master library.
    Does that make sense to anybody?  There has to be a way to stop FCP X from unnecessarily copying the media.

    Not sure if this is what you're looking for but - Did you uncheck 'Copy files to Final Cut Events Folder' when importing into your project?

  • I would like to move the Tv show folder to an external HD. Can I do this without moving the entire iTunes music folder?

    I would like to move the TV Shows folder from my iMac's HD to an external HD to free up some space. Can I do this without moving the entire iTunes Library folder? If so, can my other devices like iPads and Apple TV find the moved TV shows folder?

    All kinds of things are possible with iTunes, but few of them are easy.  Yes, you can isolate TV shows on a different drive.  The degree of complexity depends upon how much work and learning you are interested in doing.  The easiest solution is to delete them all from iTunes but do not let iTunes delete the actual media files.  Then go to the folder where TV shows are located and copy that folder to a different drive.  Now hold down the option key and drag them back to iTunes so it adds them again.  Using the option key means the file doesn't get copied to iTunes' main media folder.  However, since these are being added as new files it means you risk losing some information entered about them such as personal ratings, date added, date last played, etc.  There are ways of retaining this data but that's where you really have to learn how to do workarounds with iTunes.
    I have never seen an AppleTV, nor used an iPhone but my understanding is these devices do not directly use the files, they do so through iTunes.  As long as the entries can be found in iTunes then they should be accessible by other devices.

  • How can I link an image without leaving the existing window in adobe acrobat??

    Hi everybody
    I'm new using adobe acrobat, but I saw (once) that in a manual, they linked a image.
    Just by passing the mouse over the linked word, the image appears "over" the pdf, without leaving the existing window
    Is this still possible?? and How??
    Thanks for your help

    If you need to do it very often, I've developed a web-service that allows
    you to enter a phrase (let's say "Product 1"), and have an image "pop-up"
    whenever the user hovers or clicks that phrase in your document. Contact me
    personally for more information.

  • Possible to create a second handle on a point without moving the first one?

    Hello again,
    Just had a question about something that often drives me crazy. Sometimes when I'm modifying an object (especially text that has been turned into outlines for logos etc) There are points on the path that I want/need to remove. Many of the times the points I'm removing had part of the curve that made the path look nice and smooth. For some reason Illustrator likes to create two points overlapping each other with a handle extending in opposite directions for each instead of one point with two handles...
    In the cases where I have a point on a path with only one handle, whether it overlaps another point or not, is there a way to create a new handle on the opposite side where a handle doesn't exist without moving the handle that is already there? I hate fiddling with the path for 10 minutes afterwards trying to get everything back into the same position again. I would like to be able to drag out a new handle while locking the old handle in place, but the initial behavior of the convert anchor point tool seems to be to get rid of the old existing handle and recreate two new handles which resets everything.
    Is there a way around this? A tool behavior option or maybe even a different tool that will let me just add the one handle to the point that is missing without moving or deleting the existing handle on that point? If it matters I'm using Illustrator CS5.5. Thanks for any help in advance!

    Thanks for the responses guys! Unless someone comes along with a completely native Illustrator solution I think the Pathscribe tool is what I'm looking for. The unify command in that other post sounds like just the thing for the randomd weirdness Illustrator does when you convert text to outlines etc. and I'll probably mostly use that method for the overlapping points that are created in those case. I would say close to 50% of the time though I need to add a handle to a point that isn't overlapping like where a letter shape curves on one side but is straigh on the other. I guess a good example of that would maybe tip of the "v" shape in stylized or script fonts, they often have a straigh side and curved side. Sometimes it's also me because I'll go with a more straight line concept for a portion of the letter shapes and then change my mind back again, by which time I have removed some of the handles that I want to put back. It sounds like VectorScribe will do exactly what I want the way I want it and save me a lot of time having to zoom way in to get the fine control I need to restore the paths orginial curve.
    All in all a pretty solid solution between the two. I'll have to pick up VectorScribe and will use unify where applicable. I don't understand though why this isn't something that Adobe hasn't made a native provisioin for? Seems there would be many times while making a design that you might want to change your mind without having to completely redraw the entirety of a curve, especially if you're doing an illustration from scratch. I thought there had to be a native solution and I was just somehow missing it completely... maybe they don't want to step on the 3rd party vendor's toes who have made plug-ins to deal with this sort of thing? Illustrator has been around a looong time now, seems like they would have come across this more than a few times... maybe I'm just not creating illustrations using the "proper" methods.

  • Help to modify the Release procedure without disturbing the existing class

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement to modify the existing workflow approval procedure for PR and PO to include a case, where the PO amount is less than certain value (say 100 EUR) and the material group is equal to certain value, then we need to include the approval levels L2 (defined for PR) and X2 (defined for PO).
    Taking the case for PO`s, please note the following information,
    Existing release Strategies & release Levels for PO are
    51          Level X4
    52          Level X4 + X3
    53          Level X4 + X3 + X2
    54          Level X4 + X3 + X2 +X1
    Characteristics used
    Total Net order Value
    Purchasing organization
    Order Type
    Purchasing Group
    Example : If the PO triggering a Release strategy 51 and if the conditions PO Value and Material Group satisfied then in addition to X4 system should send the PO  Approval to X2 also. Similarly if the Po triggering the Release strategy 52 then in addition to X4 + X3, approval from X2 also required (provided if the condition satisfies).
    Solutions tried
    1)  We can achieve the requirement by adding a dummy variable in the Characteristics and defining the new release strategy 55 with Level X4 + X2 and using the User Exit EXIT_SAPLEBND_002 .But we donu2019t want to touch the Characteristics and class because this is used by other companies also.
    2) Also we can add a characteristic Material group with value equal to the required value and define 2 new release strategies 55 with Level X4 + X2 and 56 with Level X4+ X3 +X2.For all the other release strategies we can maintain the material group value as blank. Since the characteristics used by many companies we donu2019t want this option also.
    Request your valuable suggestion to meet the above requirement, without disturbing the existing characteristics and Classes, would be highly appreciable.

    It looks to me like you need a new release strategy for the company that is different. This is a perfectly normal way to use release strategies and is exactly what they are designed for.

  • Alternate fact table without disturbing the existing fact table in EIS

    I have a question in EIS, how to load or work with alternate fact table, without disturbing the existing fact table, pls provide me with some procedure and steps
    thank u in advance
    sunil

    Yes you can have multiple models and metaoutlines load one cube. I've done it before. The trick is you ahve one "master" metaoutline that you put all the measures in (even if they are manually added. You use that to build the cube. Then you can have multiple metaoutlines build different measures within the cube. The idea is you have to have them update different intersections or the last one in will be what you get. I have a client that gets sales info from one source, shipment info from a different relational source . in all I have 10 differnt models and metaoutlines that build one cube. you just lump the load statements into one CBS file. It works great (or as great as EIS works). The biggest issue is timing to make sure all the sources are available when the load is going to be doe. Of course you could build different parts at different times.

  • Integrate new MA without changing the existing environment

    Hi,
    Can any one please suggest me for the below scenario.
    Consider in the current environment. , we have deployed FIM sync server  and configured three management agent of type ADDS. There are some rule extension deployed for exchange and Lync. FIM Portal and MS Bhold is not installed and used. Total
    number of user are 15k.
    Now we have new requirement to integrate a new  AD and  new  Ldap management agent to provision and  provision  500 user.
    For these new 500 users, we also need FIM Portal and MS Bhold.
    We don't want to make any  change in the existing  configured MA. Can we implement like this.
    1. Install FIM Portal and MS bhold on the  existing server on which FIM syn server is already installed.
    2. Configured the new management  for new AD and Ldap.
    3. Configured the FIMMA to allow only the new 500 user to provision in FIMService based on some criteria  which can get from the new AD and Ldap.
    4. Do the required configuration of MPR,Syn rule etc in FIM Portal.
    5 .Do the configuration  export and import the user in Bhold  for only new 500 users to approval, groups management etc.
    OR
    Install the FIM Portal and Bhold and then reconfigure the all exiting management agent using  the FIM Portal GUI.
    Please suggest which is best way. If we need to reconfigure the all the existing MA using FIM Portal or just install the FIM Portal and Bhold and configure the  required MA for new 500 users only.
    Thanks
    Harry

    Thanks Dominik for your response,
    So it means there will not be any performance issue if we keeps existing MA in Synchronization server (without FIM Portal) and install the FIM portal and Bhold to manage and create new AD and LDAP MA for new 500 users using FIM Portal GUI.
    As well as per my understanding, only  500 cals  Licence will be required because only new 500 users will be managed by FIM Portal (FIMService) and MS Bhold. Cals license will not be required for rest old 15K user  because these
    will be managed by only by Synchronization server(FIMSynchronizationService ) not FIMSevice.
    Please correct me.
    Thanks

  • HT1296 how to add new photos without deleting the existing photos in ipad

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me how to add new photos/PDF books from my PC to iPad without deleting the exsting data in iPad?

    Hello AJ2349
    If it is prompting you that it will replace the data on your iPhone, then that is typically the result of syncing with a different computer. The only way you can bypass that is to replace the media on your device and then sync. Now it will only replace items that would be considered purchased items like music, movies, TV shows and Apps and would not delete any pictures from your iPhone. Alternatively you can setup a Shared Photo Stream and then add the Photos there without syncing your iPhone with your computer. Check out the articles below for more information.
