hi cg soft.
welcome to our little, quiet sea-side developers community. (where people are nice and the pharmacies are open late)
i can't understand whether the problem you're describing is in regards to a custom made window (pop up), a palette plug-in, or the ECW.
this is a long thread that deals with a lot of different issues, but also goes into details on creating os level windows:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3337511#3337511
at the end if it you'll find this very useful video, courtesy of gutsblow:
http://vimeo.com/17206258
he shows how to create windows using cocoa.
if you're not dealing with an os level window then... what exactly is the problem?

Outlook2013 email message goes behind main Outlook window when opening PDF attachment with Reader 11

Problem statement: Outlook 2013 email message goes behind main Outlook window when opening PDF attachment with Adobe Reader 11.0.3
Environment: Windows 8 x64; Office 2013; Adobe Reader 11.0.3
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Open Outlook 2013
2. Open email message with PDF attachment
3. Open PDF attachment (with Adobe Reader as default PDF viewer)
4. Close Adobe Reader
Results: Original email message with PDF attacment now sits behind the main Outlook window
Expected results: Original email message should be on top of main Outlook window as it was when opening the PDF attachment
Note: Adobe Acrobat Profession performs as expected - the original email is on top of the main Outlook window - This only seems to be a problem with Adobe Reader.
Has anyone else experience this problem? If so, have you found a work-around?
Thanks,

From: new window opens behind existing window - how to modify?
I had this problem happening in Outlook.
If I tried to open an email, it would open behind the main Outlook window.
The same happened if I opened a link in the email - it would open behind the mail.
The fix that was suggested to me was so simple that I still don't believe it.
Right click on the task bar and unlock the taskbar, then lock it again.
Close down Outlook and re-start it.
Problem solved! Just dont know how or why.

It worked for me with Win 7 and OL 2003. Why? Who cares ... It is working.

JPopupMenu goes behind main JFrame after checking/unchecking its Items.

I've written the following stand-alone code, which basically contains a JFrame that includes a combination of JPopupMenu's and JMenu's. If user right-clicks on the JFrame, a JPopupMenu will popup, which contains a JMenu. This JMenu also includes another JPopupMenu that contains 4 JCheckBoxMenuItems.
The problem that I'm facing is that, after I select one JCheckBoxMenuItem, the popup menu containing them, will go behind the JFrame. How can I get it to stay in front? Here's my SSCCE. I need to turn this in at work by tomorrow at the latest. So, if anyone has time, your help will be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Quit multi-posting. This is your third posting on this topic. Others have no idea what has already been suggested in the other postings and are wasting their time reading the posting. Keep the discussion in a single posting.
In fact I already explained to you how you can prevent the popup menu from closing and gave you a simple example to work from. For those of you that are curious. If you add a JCheckBox to a JPopupMenu, instead of a JCheckBoxMenuItem, the popup will stay open.
I can't explain the behaviour of the posted code, but when you have a smiple working solution maybe its time to use it as the basis of your solution.

Unsolicited ad inserted behind main browser window (pop-under)

Unsolicited ad inserted behind main browser window (pop-under) every time TheBlaze.com is visited.
ENVIRONMENT
Win7 SP1
Firefox 34.0 (Pop-up windows are blocked)
DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM
Once the requested home page, from theBlaze.com server, is received by Firefox on your PC, your first mouse click will trigger the pop-under creation process. Pop-under ads are similar to pop-up ads, but the ad window appears hidden behind the main browser window rather than superimposed in front of it. The ad window is located in a new copy of Firefox. Additional mouse clicks may produce cumulative pop-under ad window creations. So, you may end up with multiple pop-under ad windows, each in a new copy of Firefox. According to many marketing “genius” this method of presenting unsolicited ads is much less abrasive than pop-ups used to be, and now recommend the use of pop-unders.
The HTML source file received from TheBlaze.com server contains (in clear) between line 158 and line 202 , the JavaScript code needed to generate the pop-under windows and also contain the URL of the advertiser.
Line numbers may vary from user to user, but look in the source file and locate the beginning and the end of the script at:
BEGIN ADSUPPLY →
the script is located here (approx 44 lines of code)
<!-- END ADSUPPLY →
The fact that the advertiser URL is contained in the source file indicates that, this is a well organized advertizing business. In the examined case the advertiser was "gorgonkil.com".
SOLUTIONS TO STOP POP-UNDERS
This pop-under unsolicited ad plague can originate from any Web site, not only from TheBlaze.com. This is not hidden malware, but highly visible in the HTML page received from the unscrupulous Web site. Be aware that using the “block pop-up windows” parameter in Firefox > Tools > Options > Content > will not solve this problem.
InternetExplorer 11 also falls victim of the pop-under unsolicited ads. SlimBrowser7 survives elegantly and no pop-under windows are opened.
In the proposed 2 solutions, you will need to receive a first unsolicited ad, then take note of the advertiser URL and insert it in the Win7 Firewall or in the BlockSite Firefox extension.
If the unscrupulous Web site sends a large number of new and different advertiser URLs during one browsing session, then you will need to find a more elegant solution to the problem.
WIN7 Firewall
The received ad normally contains the advertiser URL (e.g. gorgonkil.com).
The Win7 firewall has the capability to block IP addresses.
The fact that Win7 Firewall requires IP addresses be expressed in dotted-decimal notation (e.g. 172.16.254.1) makes it less attractive. But, should you decide to use the dotted-decimal notation, it should work perfectly
Block Site 1.1.8 Firefox extension
Install Firefox extension “Block Site 1.1.8”. It is working very well for me.
You need to go to Block Site “Options” and “add” the URL (e.g. gorgonkil.com) you want to block.
Once enabled, the Block Site extension will display a small window for 3-4 seconds (lower right position) every time a pop-under creation is attempted by any unscrupulous offender and the pop-under will not be created.
My own “Options” file now contains more then 18 advertiser URLs (over 3-4 months).
I have stopped visiting TheBlaze.com Web site as of yesterday.
WEB SITE REPUTATION & REVIEW SERVICE
You may obtain a reputation rating for many Web sites by installing a Fiirefox extension: Web of Trust - WOT
WOT adds intuitive traffic light-style icons next to search results and URLs to help you make informed decisions about whether to visit a site or not.
A review has been submitted to WOT (12-19-2014) pertaining to TheBlaze.com. The rating is in bright red “I don't trust” (Ads/Pop-ups).

JOptionPane goes behind browser window (Help PLEASE!)

I apologize if this is not the best place to post this question.
I have an applet that open a JOptionPane using the following:
int rc = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,
"Do you want to save the changes you made to " + appInfo.getName() + "?", ProductInfo.ProductName,
JOptionPane.YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION,
JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
THE PROBLEM I'm seeing is that this JOptionPane pops up for a second and then goes behind the applet browser window.
I have 2 html files (index.html and product.html). index.html opens product.html in a new browser window (minus the toolbar and menu) using a small javascript (see below for code).
I only see this problem when I open product.html via index.html. When I open product.html by itself this problem does not occur.
Please help if you can - thanks ahead of time!!
INDEX.HTML
===============================
<html>
<head><title>ProductName™, Version 2.0</title></head>
<body>
<script>

</script>
<script>winopen()</script>
</body>
</html>

Solved my own problem!!
I modified index.html (see below) and it now works - the JOptionPane stays on top. Still don't know why though.
INDEX.HTML
=============================
<html>
<head><title>SwitchView™, Version 2.0</title>
<SCRIPT>
function fullWindow(url) {
var str = "left=0,screenX=0,top=0,screenY=0,resizable";
if (window.screen) {
var ah = screen.availHeight - 30;
var aw = screen.availWidth - 10;
str += ",height=" + ah;
str += ",innerHeight=" + ah;
str += ",width=" + aw;
str += ",innerWidth=" + aw;

Applet window goes behind the browser

Hi Experts,
Pls suggest me the solution for the problem with applet.
When I launch the application from browser by providing URL( we are using http server), it launches the application as an Applet . Now my problem is this applet goes behind the browser when I launch this in WindowsXP but when I launch this in Solaris it works fine.
I want the applet to be shown in front in WinXP as well.
Can anyone pls suggest solution for this??
Thanks,
Joe

"painting behind" problems generally indicate a mixing of awt and swing components (a definite no-no).
but this is applet behind browser, not components behind other components,
so perhaps the problem might be better suited to the applet forum

How to add document navigator control into a plug-in window?

I develop a filter plug-in for Photohsop CS2, but I wonder how to add navigator controll in the plug-in window. The navigator works int the same way like Photoshop navigator - moving cursor on the navigator makes the image scroll in the main previes. I want to have both, the navigator and a main preview window in the filter plug-in window. I saw it many times, however, I did not find example in Photoshop CS2 filter SDK.
If somebody could point me to a resource, that could get me to the right track, i would be glad.
Thanks
Rene.

Chris hello,
It is good to know that plugins can not control the docunment view in Photoshop. However, my idea was to have preview in Photoshop plug-in window, and then to have small navigator that would scroll the preview. Exactly like on this Photoshop plug-in:
http://data.unipixels.com/screenshot.jpg
Please notice tha navigator on the right side of the window. Moving the red rectangle in it will scroll the middle preview window.
With regards,
Rene.

My iMac keeps typing a minus sign. I switched my wireless keyboard for a plug in Windows keyboard, and it keeps typing this one character. I took the batteries out of the Mac keyboard, so that is not the problem. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8.

Thanks for your observation. I realize they are different versions, but when I use the "Software Update" menu, this is as far as it would update. Is there some way to update the iMac beyond what "Software Update" does? I've tried it several times.
Please Note.
Upgrading OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion) is not an update. It is a paid upgrade. Just as with 10.7 (Lion) you must purchase it from the App Store with yor Apple ID and install it after backing up your current computer state for safety.

Link to multiple plug-in windows

Hi all
Is there a way to set the linking feature up so that more than one plug-in window updates its contents when you switch channels? Say I have a Noise Gate and a Compressor on each channel - when I switch channel I want the two open plug in windows to both update their view to show me what's happenng on tthe new channel for both plugins.
Thanks in advance

Hi MIke!
Unfortunately not possible. The Link mode for plugins only works per insert slot.
What I'd recommend is to open plugins for track 1 and save as a scerenset. Then close 'em and open the plugins for track 2 and save as a different screenset. It's a pretty quick way to do what you want.
Cheers

I've right and left clicked the black window, restarting the computer, shutting down the computer, but the window always appears when I open iPhoto and it will not move or go away.

Which version if iPhoto and MacOS X do you have?
Do you have any iPhoto plug-ins installed?
Open the folder /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Plugins/
To navigate to that folder, open the folder "Library" directly on your Macintosh HD, then inside the Library folder go to Application Support, then iPhoto. Is there anything installed?

Plug-in Window Position

Hi,
I felt frustrated with the Plug-in Window..everytime i double click on the plug-in that i've inserted it'll auto prompt at the Upper-Left of my Display (Monitor Desktop Screen).
How c'ld i do the setting as everytime i double click on the Plug-in and it'll auto place at the Centre of my Screen?
Posible?

This touches on my problem with Mac windows in general. Does anyone know of a third party fix for Apple's inability to properly and consistently handle window size and position? For instance, compare Safari and Firefox - Firefox is the way windows should operate and Safari is the way they should not. Mail, on the other hand works correctly. I don't understand why Apple can't fix this glaring error - after all, they just about invented the concept.

Why can't I type in Plug-in windows

I am using a DAE/DTDM system on a Mac Pro with Logic 8.0.2 on 10.5.5, and somewhere along the way the ability to type in a plug in window to put in the BPM or that kind of information was broken. Has anybody else experienced this and is there any fix? I've tried all the options in the DAE pass keyboard events to plug-ins option and nothing seems to work

In case it helps anybody, I just answered my own question. I got rid of the default key commands to switch screensets by just pressing the number. It used to work with those, but I guess not any more.

The Plug-in window (I/O thing) won't open, so I can't access my plugins...What do I do?
When i double click on the window i am unable to change it from EVP88 Electric Piano in the left hand sidebar.
When I watch tutorials on how to use parts of logic, people use the I/O as a menu, whereas it does not do that for me.

In the online Help type Basic Operations
From the List choose.. Basic Operations then in the left hand menu choose.. Using The Mouse.
Look at the list of mouse operations, I think it's the third one down.
Read how many different mouse operations Logic responds to.
If you really want to learn Logic, reading the manual is a good thing, not only to find what you're looking for but of of the extra/related information you will find as you solve your original question.

No, there is no way to exchange your version. Platform swaps are only supported for current versions, meaning you would have to upgrade to CS6. refer to this:
Order an Adobe product platform swap or language swap
Otherwise consider Creative Cloud. It allows cross-platform usage to begin with.
