Problem with layout smartform

Hello all,
I have a problem with the layout of smartform.
My smartform is composed of a window (main).
Within the main window, there is a loop where they are
printed a series of tables which are associated with a frame.
When the smartform printed on the next page, it is incapable to
to manage the frames in their entirety.
Thanks.

Hi,
my smartform is composed as follows:
Page 1
Main
     Loop
        Table 1
        Table 2
        Table n
Each table consists of a frame.
The problem is that when the smartform go to the next page, I can not handle frames.
Part of frame is displayed on the first page, the other party to the second page.
I tried to put the flag protection page on the tables, but the frame has not been successful.
I hope someone help me.
Regards,
Maurizio.

Problem with layout and changing content

Hi, I`m new to Swing and I have a problem with layout.
I want to make a menu using JButtons so that depending on which button you click you`ll get different content in the window. And first of all I don`t know how to center the buttons.
I have a JFrame called GameWindow that has a JPanel field called content. My idea was to create a JPanel with buttons and then using ActionListeners change the JPanel held in 'content'.
Here`s the code:
public class GameWindow extends JFrame{
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     private JPanel content;
     private Player player;
     public GameWindow(){
          super("Dawn Crystal");
          Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
          setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);
          setSize((int)screenSize.getWidth(), (int)screenSize.getHeight());
          setExtendedState(MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
     public void mainMenu(){
          content = new MainMenu(this);
          Dimension dim = content.getSize();
          setLayout(null);
          Dimension screen = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
          int x = (int)((screen.getWidth() - dim.getWidth()) / 2);
          int y = (int)((screen.getHeight() - dim.getHeight()) / 2);
          int dimX = (int)dim.getWidth();
          int dimY = (int)dim.getHeight();
          content.setBounds(x, y, 120, 120);
          getContentPane().add(content);
          setVisible(true);
     public void adventureScreen(){
          //so far empty
     public void createNewPlayer(){
          content.setVisible(false);
          content = new NewPlayerCreationWindow();
          getContentPane().add(content);
          content.setVisible(true);
          //setVisible(true);
     public void setPlayer(Player p){ player=p; }
public class MainMenu extends JPanel{
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     private JPanel mainMenuButtons;
     private JButton newGame;
     private JButton loadGame;
     private JButton options;
     private JButton exit;
     public MainMenu(GameWindow par){
          mainMenuButtons = new JPanel();
          //create buttons
          newGame = new JButton("NEW GAME");
          loadGame = new JButton("LOAD GAME");
          options = new JButton("OPTIONS");
          exit = new JButton("EXIT");
          //create action listeners
          newGame.addActionListener(new NewGameListener());
          exit.addActionListener(new ExitListener(par));
          //add buttons to panel
          mainMenuButtons.setLayout( new GridLayout(4,1));
          mainMenuButtons.add(newGame);
          mainMenuButtons.add(loadGame);
          mainMenuButtons.add(options);
          mainMenuButtons.add(exit);
          add(mainMenuButtons);
}When it displays the buttons are at the top of the frame rather than in the center - I thought that was how the default layout would behave. So that`s my first question - how to center it.
Secondly I have NewPlayerCreationWindow written but when I call createNewPlayer() I get an empty frame - what am I doing wrong?
Finally I`d like to ask how can I make the frame appear as maximized when the application is started? The setExtendedState(MAXIMIZED_BOTH); doesn`t help actually because the window`s height is too big and a part of window is hidden under the system bar. I want to have it maximized regardless of screen resolution.

Problems with layout and printing tables

Hello,
my first ADOBE-Form "projekt" makes more problems than expected, especially with the layout.
Layout Problem 1:
I want to print the data of a table (thats my only parameter in the interface and the table itself is deep structures with other tables). So I have bound the "standard" subform (the one ADOBE inserts automatically" to the table and selected that the subform is repeated after every record.
Anyhow ADOBE processes only the first record of this table.
Maybe the reason is, that I need to display the data of one record on two pages. So I created two pages each with the "standard" subform and bounded both to the table.
What am I doing wrong? Do i have to do the page split another way?
Layout Problem 2:
I have a text field with multiple lines allowed. But it overwrites the content of the object, that comes below.
Its the same with my other subforms for table data.
How can I tell the system, that an object needs to be pushed downside on the page, if the context above needs more space?
Thanks in advance for your answers!
Regards,
Frank

Yeah, you say it
subforms and they "flowing" etc. properties are killing me, but after some hours I think I got the concept.
The form looks quite well, everything is pushed downwards if an item above gets expanded.
But one problem remains: this form only prints the very first record of my table.
I have no problems with the tables nested inside the main table. They work perfectly and everything is fine there!
But I cant tell the form to print my other records...
I somehow played around and made it work, but then the next record was not on the next page but directly after the subform created by the context area (if this terminology is correct).
I played around even further and created a paging with reference to the context area, but then the first page looked quite odd (page 2, 3, 4... looks perfect).
I tried to fix also this and then I somehow messed up my form and could not undo my changes (it was only a "to play with" copy...)
Just to explain it again:
I have one table (lets call it the "main table" because its the import parameter of the interface) and inside this table are other nested tables.
I want to print one record of the "main table" across 2 pages and after that the next record of the "main table" should be printed beginning at the 3rd page.
As I said, the two pages look wonderful (even though I have not yet covered the issue of what should happen, two pages are not enough for one record of the "main table"). but as soon as I try to display the next records of the "main table" as well, i am stucked in unpredictable layout problems.
I cant believe that I try anything extraordinary. Lets hope that I can solve this with your very appreciated help.
Thanks in advance Otto!!!
And kind regards, Frank

Problem with layout in Web Application Designer

Hi all,
I am working with the BEx Web Application Designer. Well, I execute a web template in the browser, click on right button and choose enhanced menu, query properties and mark the check box Display Rows as Hierarchy and Expand to and from the list of values (combo-box) choose the last field that can be expanded.
Once all the lines have been expanded and the layout of the template is longer than a page, we look for a line that is not in the first page and contract it. The problem is that when we contract the line, the layout shows the first page, instead of the page where the line had been contracted. I have tried to solve this changing the properties that appear when the template is designed, but I haven´t found the solution. Is there any way so that i can solve it?
Thanks in advance,
Mª del Mar Bonilla.

Bonilla,
Welcome to SDN...
Try this out...
In the Query designer view , right click on the rows structure and select display as hierarchy. In case this option works fine , the behavior pointed out by you could be a possible bug.
Just update the result of what I have mentioned above...
Hope it helps..
Arun
P.S Assigning points is a way fo saying thank you in SDN

V 3.2 v2 now has problems with layouts, displays images fine in IE10, Firefox but not in Chrome...

Images placed in a page are not displaying in the same places in the design view on the rendered Chrome page, they are perfect in IE 10 and Firefox but not chrome / safari (ipad)?
In other words I cant get all the browsers to render the same, in order to get one set to work I have to position images one way and then they dont work in the other browsers? it doesnt make much sense but i cant seem to figure it out and need urgent help!
see here: http://www.nalpeiron.com/--analytics-solutions-by-role--.html
this has been setup to work with chrome, but in the design view you have to place the images in totally wrong places to get them to show correctly....
if you review in ie/firefox you can see the problem!
Ideas?

Every browser will potentially line break the same text with the same formatting differently due to subtle differences in the text layout engines between browsers, so the inline graphic approach is generally the best approach for achieving completely reliable results.
The reason the difference was so dramatic between IE or Firefox versus Chrome or Safari is that Chrome and Safari are based on Webkit and Webkit rounds percentage leading to a whole pixel value where as IE and Firefox interpret percentage leading as a fractional pixel amount, if necessary. This means line spacing for text with leading that's specified as a percentage will be substantially different between IE/Firefox and Chrome/Safari. You can avoid this by entering a pixel value (i.e. "14 px" for leading in the Control Strip or Text panel in Muse.

Rgds,
Nithy..

I am almost a total computer novice and am having what I think is the same problem Just got my first Apple computer (Macbook Pro). MSN Hotmail is my email account. All the events on my 'hotmail' account are now unreadble because they are squished to the left side of the screen and I don't find any instructions as to how to fix this in the system. This problem didn't exist when I first started using my MAC two days ago, but now I'm stuck. Everything else in my 'hotmail' seems to work fine. Don't know what Chrome or Firefox is or if there is a cost for them. Also, have never downloaded a program if any kind.
My calendar is critically important to me and I don't have a clue as to what to do now. Hope you can help.
Thanks. Linda

Problem with Layout / Missing Buttons in Flex Bulder Properties under Windows 7

Hi Guys,
I'have a very urgent problem wich i need to get fixed, but I didn't find any solution on the web.
I upgraded to Windows7 Professional 64. After installing Flex Builder3 with all its updates I wanted to change the run/debug settings in the properties of the project.
Unfortunatly the buttons on the rigth (edit, remove, etc won't show) i reinstalled flex builder 3 standalone several times without any luck.
I checked if there are areas wich also don't look right. in the flex programm properties i cant add any new sdk. Buttons there are also not there.
Please somebody maybe from adobe can help to solve this issue ?
best regards
Carsten

Thanks alot David for trying to help. After spending several hours searching i found the problem.
Believe it or not, the problem is caused by the Logitech Drivers.
The Problem already existed in Vista 64bit.
See this Post.
http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Flex_Builder_3_on_Windows_Vista_64_bits_issues-12826.html
After uninstalling the SetPoint Software everything is looking normal again.
Thanks again for your help.

ZPL problem with layout A5 landscape

The data in my ZPL is not complete. I generate ZPL using GeneratePrintedOutput2. I use the zpl300.xdc.
The XDP size is DIN A5 page orientation is landscape. When I switch it to page orientation = portait the data is complete. Does Adobe ZPL not work with XDP-layouts using size DIN A5 (height 148mm x width 210mm) and page orientation = landscape? Can it be fixed by changing the XDC ?

Make sure the XDCURI that you specify in generatePrintedOutput2 :http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/10.0/ProgramLC/javadoc/com/adobe/livecycle/output/cl ient/OutputClient.html#generatePrintedOutput2(com.adobe.livecycle.output.client.PrintForma t, java.lang.String, com.adobe.idp.Document, java.lang.String, com.adobe.livecycle.output.client.PrintedOutputOptionsSpec, com.adobe.idp.Document) is available to LC server as mentioned here : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/10.0/WorkbenchHelp/WS92d06802c76abadb3f4eb35312c7a1f b01f-7fff.html

Facing problem with layout editor in screen painter .

Hi gurus,
I have installed IDES ECC 6.0 in my home system. Now when I go to layout editor in screen painter, I am getting rows in the screen. As per my knowledge there is an installation problem ..How to rectify that ? Could any one please tell me.
Thanks & Regards
Vardhan

some times SAP Gui behaves like this, in my case i faced this problem many times, some times after shutdown my sap logon pad. and restart the sap , go to se51 , it will open the Screen painter normally. But some cases i uninstalled the Gui, and re installed .then only it opens properly. select all components when installing.

JSP page to be printed - problem with layout of printable page

I have a JSP that collects some information from a variety of tables in my DB(SQL Server) and displays the results on an HTML page that is created for printing an official document. At the end of the document there is space for people to sign for their names and the problem comes as follows. There is always a table full of records that is displayed in the middle of the page and its size and contents are always subject to change in relation to the query previously executed. In the case of a big table with more records to be displayed than what can normally be displayed on ONE page, I want to cut the table at a certain point and when I do print preview on IE 5.5, I would like to see the rest of the table displayed on the second page with the SAME TABLE HEADINGS as in the first page. Is there a way to do that in co-op with IE 5.5?

Printing from HTML is usually a mess. Generate a PDF if possible.
Failing that you could try starting a new table every (say) ten rows and fixing the font size using a style sheet. It would depend how much variation there is in the printing devices you're delivering to.
Another (extreme) option is to deploy a small signed applet (or Java Web Start application) that would receive the data in its parameters and simply display a "print" button on screen. It would then pop up the print dialog and perform pagination itself. Might take a lot of work to get it just right, though.

Use TableLayout manger it will make your life easier, atleast it has made mine life lot easier.
I have changed your code to use Tablelayout manager. You need TableLayout.jar to run it. It is available from http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/tablelayout/
