Property inspector how-to
Hello,
I want to implement a "property inspector" (maybe this expression is not the best) in my application to make the GUI more user friendly.
I mean the components like these:
http://www.developmentontheedge.com/beanexplorer_inspector.shtml
or (it is written in delphi):
http://www.bergsoft.net/index.php?section=components&page=inspector.screenshots
Unfortunately I didn't find a good tutorial how to implement my own component and didn't find any free component.
Does anybody know a good source how to implement such component?
Thanks!

How can I change the color of the font with the Property Inspector?
In Dreamweaver CS6, can one change the font color with the property inspector? How?
I don't know if I will automatically be notified when someone responds, and I don't want to be running back to this site every day to check. So if you have an answer for me, would you be kind enough to email me at [email protected]? Many thanks.mike agranoff wrote:
A font color button was available in a previous version of Dreamweaver I had been using. But that version was incompatible with Windows 7, which is what my newer machine uses.
"Upgrade" and "improvement" are rarely synonymous.

There is still a font color button in DW. In the Properties window, click the CSS button in the lower left when you have text selected. There is a little gray square with a tiny black arrow in the corner for font colors. It still uses css, but will muddy up your text with inline styles which isn't generally the best way to do things.
One of the biggest advantages to using css is the ability to put all of your styles in one external .css file. That allows you to make a single change, to a color setting for instance, and have that change affect your entire site (everything you put a given css class on). As it stands, using the old html font-color attribute, or inline css forces you to go through the code with a fine tooth comb and change each individual setting.
CSS is a massive upgrade and improvement over the old method.
I would definitely suggest getting familiar with css, it really is required for any kind of modern website and ends up making your life much much easier while using the CSS Designer window in DW (which is where a lot of this stuff takes place now in a Design View development approach)...
http://w3schools.com/css is a good place to start. -
Adding a custom field to the property inspector in JDev 10.1.3
Hello All
I have a requirement where i have to add some custom entries to the property inspector.Say if we choose a text field in html there will be some standard values in property inspector.Now i want to add my own custom entry always on selection of text field.
Or i am developing a custom editor and i always want property inspector to display some values on certain selections.
I already went through the code samples provided for jdev 10.1.3 but i couldnt find one for property inspcetor.I also went through the oracle.ide.* packages.Could someone provide me a class or method from where i can start ???
Thanks in advance !!!I was able to find the ide.jar file which contains all the necessary oracle.ide.* class files.
I had another query....basically there are 2 kinds of packages of the form javax.ide.* and oracle.ide.*
So suppose im faced with the situation of say adding menu items and defining actions on them then i guess it can be done in 2 ways using classes in javax.ide or oracle.ide.Can you elaborate how i should choose between these 2 packages.
Is it if im using the <jdeveloper-hook> i shud use oracle.ide.* and the regular jsr 198 schema then the javax.ide.*
Kindly clarify !!!! Thanks in advance -
Problem when I click the "browse to file" icon in the property inspector
Please somebody help me. I am having a problem with Dreamweaver. When ever I click on the "browse to file" icon in the property inspector, it opens up a full size window on top of the Dreamweaver screen that can't be resize. This problem just started. I have shut down my entire system and restarted it and I am still having the problem. Can someone please help me. Thank-you
When irregular things begin to happen in DW, it's usually caused by a corrupted cache file. Below you'll find details on how to delete it.

Not able to change values in the Property Inspector
Hello!
Can some one please help me with this. I was working in
Director when I noticed that all of a sudden I wasn't able to
change the values in the property inspector, specifially the sprite
properties such as the x and y coordinates and the width and
height. I'll type in a value and then I will get an error sound and
it will revert to the previous value. How can I fix this??
Thanks!Hi Ringerz,
I've seen the PI lock up sometimes. What usually works is to
switch to List Viw
Mode. Never have trouble there. Then, close Director and
reopen. Think it's jus a
bug that hasn't been fixed yet.

Property inspector not appearing
When i design a shape(a rectangle for example) the property inspector appears in the borrom of fireworks window.
If i import though a picture the property inspector does not appear.
Why that?
How i can fix this issue and the property inspector be appearing in the case also where an image is imported?
Or this cannot be done by definition in Fireworks.
Thanks.There's always a way. It just may not be very "automatic" and depends on the bitmap you're trying to replicate.
In FW, you can trying using the bitmap selection tools to select various bitmap elements, then choose Select > Convert Marquee to Path.
Or you can use the vector tools to manually trace over the bitmap.
In AI, there is an Live Trace feature but depending on the complexity of your bitmap, you may not get exactly what you want, so manually editing/tweaking will be needed. Indeed you may end up with a far more complicated vector than you expect. You'll definitely need to experiment with this feature and the Live Paint counterpart to get what you want.
I believe Flash also has a trace feature.

Property Inspector for Locked Content Doesn't Set Content Dirty
I have a property inspector for my locked content. When the
user sets a new value in the inspector, the orig attribute of the
MM:BeginLock tag is updated appropriately. Unfortunately,
Dreamweaver doesn't see that change as having modified the document
in a meaningful way, so it doesn't enable the Refresh Design View
buttons. Hitting F5, the hotkey for Refresh Design View, has no
effect.
Do you have a suggestion how I can make Dreamweaver think the
content is modified?Hello,
without going into the specifics of your question, have you checked the following SDN blog?

Output text show Null when access value through property inspector in ADF
Hi,
we declare two UIComponents one is Deptno which is InputComboBoxListofValues and othre is Dname as output text.
we create ManagedBean called "deptBean"(which is in BackingBeanScope) and create a method inside bean "deptnoChanged".
ValueChangeListener of Deptno pointing to deptnoChanged method of deptBean.
Inside deptBean we declare a variable private String departmentName which are having setter and getters.
we can Initialize departmentName based on valueChangeEvent in bean level
for example:
if (deptno=10)
setdepartmentName("Accounts");
else
setdepartmentName("Sales");
Now we Can Access the Value of departmentName.
The UIComponent(output text field) such as Dname in JSP Page we set value (in property Inspector)
_#{backingBeanScope.deptBean.departmentName}_
when we execte the JSP Page Dname show Null as output. but output we expect as Accounts or Sales only.
Please help us, how to resolve the problem
Thanks,
kumar.when we execte the JSP Page Dname show Null as output. but output we expect as Accounts or Sales only.The value to be got while debugging should be via EL expressions and stored somewhere.
If the value Dname is bound to the backing bean then you can view its value in the property inspector using
#{<BeanScope>.<BeanName>.value} or the like -
Font change in property inspector
Good day all
I would like to change the font used in Dreamweaver MX's
windows, such as the property inspector. For example when a layout
table is selected the font used in the property inspector to
indicate width, height, cell pad, cell space etc appears pixelated
making it difficult to read, for a beginner like me. I have tried
altering the PC's screen resolution but it makes no difference and
It is only the floating windows, such as the property inspector and
objects window, that the problem shows itself- the rest of the
Dreamweaver window, such as the menus, appear ok.
Does anybody know how to change it???
Many thanks in advance

It depends very much on precisely what you mean in the above.
I will assume
that when you say 'one line' you mean 'one paragraph'. to do
that, you
would create a rule like this -
#content p.special { font-size:16px; }
and then apply the 'special' class to the paragraph in
question by selecting
it with the tag selector, right clicking to get the context
menu, and using
"Set class to -> special".
Or, you could click in the paragraph tag in question and use
the 'Style'
selector on the Property inspector to select "special".
If, instead, you meant one line within a paragraph, then you
would have to
select that text, and surround it with a span tag (using
Ctrl-t). Apply the
'special' class to the span tag, and adjust your rule like
this -
#content span.special { font-size:16px; }

Help Getting CS6 DreamWeaver to Allow Me to Set HTML Settings in Property Inspector
Hi,
Another quesiton regarding table layout. As I often am designing email newsletters, I still need easy ways to set old fashioned HTML elements without messing with CSS (alignment, etc) - it just works better for me for email blasts to code in HTML, plus Outlook still doesn't follow CSS very well in HTML emails.
After moving to CS6 on a Mac, I can't get the property inspector to allow me to edit HTML Cell properties in the property inspector. Everything is grayed out. I'm sure this is some setting somewhere but I can't find it. In Preferences I do have "HTML instead of CSS" set. Note that in CS6 on my PC I AM able to edit these fields and change alignment and other cell propertie.s But, see below, on the Mac, everything is grayed out and I can't edit anything.
It's got to be a setting somewhere. How do you over ride CS6 insistance on CSS and HTML blocking and go back to ability to set HTML properties in the property inspector? There has to be something set different on my PC install than my Mac install but I can't figure out what, as I personally don't remember changing anything and both are brand new installs of CS6, and both are editing the same file.
HELP! Thanks!Hi Nancy,
Thanks so much for the response, and I understand CS6 is more standards compliant, but they did NOT remove the ability to make these changes. You’re missing that I AM able to change and edit in the property inspector to my hearts content in CS6 on my WINDOWS install. See this screen shot – I can click in the property inspector for a cell and change alignment, etc, and CS6 happily makes the code (like it should) for me. But on the MAC, it’s grayed out per my original post. There is a setting I’m missing that I can’t find, or does CS6 Mac not work like CS6 Windows? Something doesn’t add up. -
Align list arrow in the Property inspector
Hello, everyone. I am taking a WEB Design class online, and have a problem figuring out something in Dreamweaver. I need to align an image, but I can't get access to the Align list arrow in the Property inspector. I clicked on the image, but for some reason the Align list arrow still doesn't appear. I even made sure to click the expander arrow in the lower right corner of the Property inspector.
Does anyone know why the Align list arrow isn't appearing for me, and does anyone know how I can get it to appear? I would really appreciate some help, because this assignment is due in a couple of days. Thanks in advance!Hi,
Sorry but I have no idea what you mean by "Align list arrow."
Which properties panel are you working with -- HTML, CSS?
What exactly are you trying to do?
Which elements are you working with -- i.e. paragraphs, unordered lists, ordered lists, etc...?
For best answers here, please include the HTML & CSS code you have so far (a link to your page is preferred). A second option is to copy and paste code directly into the web forum post.

CarlosWhen i add css styles for entities such as <button>, urls do not become context aware!! i.e. the url is not changed to include the application's name, which results in images not displaying.
Is this a case of discrimination between adf css definitions and html css definitions?
Here is a snip of my .css file (which is defined in my adf-faces-skins.xml)
-----------start---------------
button.update {
content:url(/skins/myskin/images/update.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center left;
padding-left: 15px;
-----------end---------------
After i run my application my css file is generated named "myskin-desktop-10_1_3_1_0-en-gecko.css" and displays the following for this button...
-----------start---------------
button.update,button.x8w {content:url(/skins/myskin/images/update.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center left; padding-left: 15px;}
-----------end---------------
As you can see, the url points to /skins/myskin/images/update.png not /myapp/skins/myskin/images/update.png.
How can i make my css definitions context aware? -
Property inspector cut off [was: CS4 help]
Hello all,
I just got a new computer with windows vista 64 bit. With this new computer, I got a new CS4 package. In dreamweaver, the properties pannel on the bottom of the screen cuts off and does not show all the stuff that it used to. For example, I can see the word Target, but there is not dropdown box for me to select which target I want to select. Is there a way to fix this so everything is viewable?
Thanks

Property Inspector freezing jdeveloper
I'm using Jdev 10.1.3.4.
When I select a jsf component(command button) from the structure pane to load its properties into the Property Inspector pane, Jdev crashes.
The cause seems to be my css imports, which I'm loading for my yui javascript components(http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/)
Does anyone know why or how to make it stop?
Here are my Includes, when I comment them out it works fine.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.6.0/build/fonts/fonts-min.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.6.0/build/button/assets/skins/sam/button.css" />

</head>
<body class="yui-skin-sam">
If anyone has an answer I would appreciate it, as it is quite annoying to have to comment and uncomment everytime I want to use the inspector.
Thanks.sure
