Possible to hide JFrame yet show on task bar?

Hello All,
Is this possible? I would like to show the JFrame button on the taskbar, but not show the JFrame itself. This is because there is a JDialog to show, but if the user alternates windows, he is liable to lose the JDialog, unless he presses Alt-Tab, which many users may not know about. It would be preferable to have the application showing in the taskbar, but how to do it without showing the JFrame?
Thank you,
Linda

Why not just use a JFrame instead of a JDialog? That way it gets its own spot on the task bar, and it can contain all the same things a dialog can. If you have some special situation that prevents this solution, please elaborate on why you want an invisible main window with a visible dialog.

Firefox has spontaneously decided not to show the task bar at the bottom of the screen, and some menu bars have been messed up. How can I fix this?

My Firefox has spontaneously (apparently) decided not to show the task bar at the bottom of the screen (the margin is there, but it is blank), and some menu bars have been messed up. Perhaps the most annoying aspect of these changes is the fact that I have to use alt-tab to move from a Firefox session to another session.
I can find no way to fix these problems. Can you help? Am I going to have to uninstall and re-install Firefox in order to get back to the default settings? If so, is there any way to preserve my bookmarks?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

New up date hides down scroll arrow behind task bar in full window mode how do i fix this?

After new up date, the scroll bar on the right and bottom of browser si under task bar. I have windows 7. I have checked addons and extensions and they have made no changes. The last thing updated was the default theme.

I'm glad to see this solved your problem. Also note, since you're running Windows 7, you can click anywhere on the window and then slide your mouse off the screen where the window's edges are hidden to get it back. This may help in the future without having to maximize the window.

How to enable bluetooth icon in task bar in rmbp with windows 8

The bluetooth icon dose not be showed in task bar in rmbp with windows 8.
The device of bluetooth dose not work correctly in device manager of windows 8 with the yellow exclamation mark.
The windows system event log shows BTHUSB alerts and error with code of 3 and 17. The driver is unloaded.
Some apple magic mouse's functions can work, without sliding to navigate.
The current OS is in bios enumeration mode with MBR and The logged user is in the normal account and the bootcamp is newest.
I have remembered that the bluetooth was good without above problems when the windows 8 was installed firstly and the bootcamp can not work in administrator account. After being restored NVRAM with option+command+p+r and reinstalled windows 8 enterprise 64 completely again, it shows these problems when the bootcamp works well.
Except the first windows installation, the second time is selecting EFI boot and the last time is in normal mode, which has no difference in the bluetooth problem. In a normal or administrator account, the same problems appear.

The bluetooth drive problems have disappeared after the following steps:
reset intel SMC
remove the bluetooth device with yellow mark.
scan system device changes. find 3 devices without any yellow mark: (a) Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth, (b) Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator, (c) Microsoft Bluetooth LE Enumerator.
find magic mouse and it works well with all functions. and the icon appears in the taskbar.
no BTHUSB error is in system log.
I don't know the right reasons. Maybe the efi windows installation has changed rmbp efi settings.

Hide the title bar on the task bar of a JFrame

Hi all,
I have create a JFrame with some controls and implement the functionality on it. Now I want to make some modification on the JFrame(actually on the GUI)
On the visible of JFrame I can see a title bar of the GUI on the taskbar of my screen. I want to stop/hide that when the JFrame is visible. How can I possible to do it.
I used Netbeans and there I've not found such a option.
Thanks

Preventing a JFrame/dialog from showing in the task bar & gaining focus.

As the (lengthly) title suggested, I would like to know if it is possible to create a JFrame or JDialog that can run (more or less) on its own without appearing in the task bar or gaining focus when setVisible() is called.
Anyone know how to do this, or have better Google search term to use than the ones I thought up? ;-)

The point is for it to stay visible (normally) when when it is not hidden (it is hidden for ~1 second to take a screenshot) and then shown again. The problem with this is that the application currently in focus loosees it (which is very annoying when typing...).
I'm trying to make a 'desktop button' of sorts that just acts as a tray icon when the system tray isn't supported. I put some effort into making it have a transparent background, but by doing that setVisible() is called every 15 seconds or so. (the frame is alwaysOnTop as well), thus the reason that I don't want the focus to be taken.
As for not showing in the system tray, I don't really need it although it would certainly make the icon better.
With that said, is there some way to accomplish this?
Thanks for the quick reply!

Hide JFrame in Task Bar

Is there away to have a JFrame created but have it not show in the windows task bar at the bottom of the sceen?

No, but you can with a JWindow.

Is it possible to hide/show the "Do you want to save changes you have made?" msg

Hi,
Is it possible to hide and show the Oracle message "Do you want to save changes you have made?"
Thank You

Not really.
You have to use commit_form to commit the changes or a
rollback_form to rollback just before exit_form, clear_form,
or clear_block.
Or, use clear_form(no_validate), clear_block(no_validate).
It might be good to check wether there is some change in the
data and show an alert in your own language asking the user in
his/her own language wether he/she wants to commit the changes
or not.

Wanted Main window only on Task bar ...Need help as soon as possible

Hello All,
We are creating one application.
We have main window(JFrame) with four subwindows.
By clicking buttons on main window the subwindows will be opened.
By using Iconified method we are able to minimise all the subwindows when main window is minimised.
But on the task bar all the windows are showed.
But we want to show main window only on the task bar while minimising
That means all the sub windows should come under main window.
Will Deiconified satifies this condition while maximisation.
Need some ones help.
Thank You All.
Rajiv.V

Use show() and hide() on your subwindows instead of iconifying and deiconifying them. Minimizing a window should produce exactly the behavior you're seeing. Using the right tool will get you the right result.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Show your tasks in the calendar view - Outlook Web App

Hi,
Is it possible to show your tasks in the calendar view in Outlook Web App 2013 ?
Some explanations of what I want to do :-)
We use Project Server so user can encode their work, this tasks are sync with an Exchange Server 2013 so tasks can be view in Outlook Web App. It's working really fine but we also want that in OWA, tasks are showed in a calendar so users can share what they
have to do.
How can we add the tasks into a calendar or how can an user can easily share what he do ?
Thanks,
Patmol

Hi Patmol,
Tasks are not listed in
calendar in Outlook/OWA, To view task you will have to go to
Tasks folder or view the task
in To-do bar. You can also see the tasks for the day
in calendar folder if you go to Daily Task List. There are no Add-ins from Microsoft that can add
tasks in the
calendar along with Meetings/Appointments.
Thanks,
James

My Mozilla icon is no longer showing on my task bar AND I can not shut down my computer

I have been unable, after multiple attempts, to 'shut down' my computer - while investigating possible reasons, I noticed that although Mozilla shows up on my screen icons, the symbol does not show up on my task bar. Not sure if one has anything to do with the other - but my Mozilla symbol has always showed up on my task bar, until now.

Hi MarilynJ68,
This may be more of a Windows problem than a Firefox one, but I will make a stab at answering it for you.
I am not at the moment using Windows 7. I imagine though that by default it looks for running apps and prompts a user to close or save etc. before closing down.
Use the task manager by I think right clicking the task bar or (was Ctrl + Alt+ Del) '''Ctrl + Shift+ Esc''' That allows you to see running programs and havethe option to stop them.
