Purpose of getContentPane()

what is the purpose of method: getContentPane()
like:
JButton btn1=new JButton();
JPanel panel=new JPanel();
add(btn1);
getContentPane().add(panel);

it gets the underlying container's (usually the JFrame or Window)
"content pane" :
content = "stuff"
pane = "place to put stuff"
you can also use
frame.setContentPane( panel )
google "java jframe"
and take the time to read the java documentation

Using getContentPane() in JFrame class

Hello,
I'm reading Bruce Eckel's book.
In chaapter 14, I read TextArea.java.
My question is:
What is the purpose of getContentPane() in the constructor TextArea() in the code below ?
Isn't JFrame IS a Container ? why bother to get another Container ?
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import com.bruceeckel.swing.*;
import com.bruceeckel.util.*;
public class TextArea extends JFrame {
private JButton
b = new JButton("Add Data"),
c = new JButton("Clear Data");
private JTextArea t = new JTextArea(20, 40);
private Map m = new HashMap();
public TextArea() {
// Use up all the data:
Collections2.fill(m, Collections2.geography,
CountryCapitals.pairs.length);
b.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
Iterator it = m.entrySet().iterator();
while(it.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry me = (Map.Entry)(it.next());
t.append(me.getKey() + ": "+ me.getValue()+"\n");
c.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
t.setText("");
Container cp = getContentPane();
cp.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
cp.add(new JScrollPane(t));
cp.add(b);
cp.add(c);
public static void main(String[] args) {
Consoleb.run(new TextArea(), 475, 425);
}

I appreciate the reply.
There are endless API to read.
I found this:
For conveniance JFrame, JDialog, JWindow, JApplet and
JInternalFrame, by default, forward, by default, all
calls to the add, remove and setLayout methods, to
the contentPane. This means you can call:
rootPaneContainer.add(component);That was introduced in 1.5. May people still use older versions of Java, so use that add method with caution. I myself see no reason to use it, since it is a bit of a hack.
Another question on the side:
How can I remove a topic that I created ?Like karma, no thread ever goes away :-)

Using multiple apple id's for different purposes

We are a family of 4 with numerous devices. Here's the setup we've been using to manage different aspects of our apple life!
Each of us has an individual apple id, which we use on our individual devices for storage/backup, photo stream, facetime, calendar etc
We have one apple id, used on all devices for all app store/itunes purchases
We entered this id on each device with everything turned off except "find my iphone". This way we could be logged into the find my iphone app with one id and be able to see all our devices.
This has worked really well for us as a family. Well, yesterday my kids updated their phones (one 5 and one 4s) to ios 7. I have not done it yet. It does not seem to allow for the above setup, specifically where "find my iphone" is concerned. When I enter in that specific apple id as an additional icloud account, it doesn't offer the option of find my iphone. My ios 6 device says "only your main account can use photo stream, documents & data, and backup". Their device adds "find my iphone" to this list.
Does anyone know if this is a specific change apple made, or something that went wrong when initially setting up their updated phones.
TIA!

Thanks for your reply. But what I don't understand is, can I no longer have multiple icloud accounts, to be used for different purposes? Like I said, we have been using one apple id/icloud for storage etc and one for find my iphone.

While defining a columnar table, what is the purpose of column store type

Hi folks
I have two questions related to columnar table definition.
1. What is the purpose of column store type.
While defining a columnar table, what is the purpose of column store type (STRING ,CS_FIXEDSTRING,CS_INT etc) , when I define a table using the UI I see that the column is showing STRING but when I goto EXPORT SQL it does not show. Is this mandatory or optional ?
2.VARCHAR Vs. CHAR - In the UI when I create the table I do not see the CHAR option , but I do see lot of discussion where people are using CHAR for defining the columnar table. Not sure why UI dropdown does not show it. I also read that we should avoid using VARCHAR as those columns are not compressed, is that true, I thought the column store gives compression for all the columns. Are there certain columns which cannot be compressed .
Please let me know where I can find more information about these two questions.
Poonam

Hi Poonam
the CS_-data types are the data types that are used internally in the column store. They can be supplied but it is not at all required or recommended to do so.
SAP HANA will automatically use the correct CS_-data type for every SQL data type in your table definitions.
To be very clear about this: don't use the CS_-data types directly. Just stick to the SQL data types.
Concerning VARCHAR vs CHAR: fixed character data types are not supported anymore and don't show up anymore in the documentation.
I have no idea why you believe that VARCHAR columns are not compressed but this is just a myth.
create column table charcompr (fchar char(20), vchar varchar(20));
insert into charcompr (
    select lpad ('x', to_int (rand()*20), 'y'), null from objects cross join objects);
-- same data into both columns
update charcompr set vchar = fchar;
-- perform the delta merge and force a compression optimization
merge delta of charcompr;
update charcompr with parameters ('OPTIMIZE_COMPRESSION' ='FORCE');
-- check the memory requirements
select COLUMN_NAME, MEMORY_SIZE_IN_TOTAL, UNCOMPRESSED_SIZE, COUNT, DISTINCT_COUNT, COMPRESSION_TYPE
from m_cs_columns where table_name ='CHARCOMPR'
COLUMN_NAME    MEMORY_SIZE_IN_TOTAL    UNCOMPRESSED_SIZE   COUNT   DISTINCT_COUNT COMPRESSION_TYPE
FCHAR       3661                    70285738            6692569 20              RLE
VCHAR       3661                    70285738            6692569 20              RLE
We see: compression and memory requirements are the same for both fixed and variable character sizes.

Just save the document to a new jpeg file name using a lower quality setting or re-size the image down in size the save a high quality smaller new jpeg image.

PLEASE: How can I save my iphone texts and "notes" (not "the note") to my computer? I need them for reference and legal purposes. I have yet to find an app for this and iphone doesn't sync either one.

Greetings!
I am brand new to using a Support Community -- I'm more of a in-person show me learner but...huge snowstorm and I don't want to
to make an appointment at a Genius Bar, driving 15 miles, especially since I asked about this once before and no one there was able to
give me an "official" Apple answer . I do hope I am posting my question (and plea) for help properly.
LOL when I had my first lil' Mac Classic, over 20 years ago, my participation in the techno world was soooo much easier, simpler.
My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for
future reference and for legal purposes. I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself.
I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need. It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and
my MacBook Pro.
Also I often use Notes for quick journaling as well as copy and pasting from other apps, usually inspirational, that I know I am going to want
to read again (always with credit noted ) and these too are taking up space. If I could email myself I would but the apps I'm using don't offer that and each day there is a new commentary -- no way to go "back".
I am currently using OS 10.6.8 on my MacBook -- my disc drive doesn't work and upgrading has to be done at the Apple Store so I don't have iCloud yet.
My iphone 4 is running OS 6.0.1 -- no upgrade until I'm at a wifi connection -- most of the time I'm using my personal hotspot.
I'm a very busy self-employed Nana raising grandchildren and a great-grandchild. I don't have a lot of time and certainly not enough for copying and pasting every text as well as note and emailing it to myself. There has got to be a better, easier way, yes?
I'd be most appreciative of any and all assistance here. Oh, someone mentioned to me I ought to get a "stick" for downloading but were talking
in a language I'm still learning.
Thank you!
Melinda

Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

I am trying to edit my website which was composed in iweb. I have my website saved on my hard drive. When I open iweb, I can't seem to load the website folder into iweb for editing purposes. Anyone know a quick solution to this?

I am trying to edit my website which, was composed on iweb about 2 years ago. I have the website stored on my hard drive. When I open iweb, I can't figure out how to load the website into iweb for editing purposes. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

You need to migrate to a modern, supported webpage development application and leave iWeb behind. It hasn't been supported for 2 years now and was behind the curve feature wise when it was dropped by Apple.
One app that many have migrated to because it is very similar to iWeb in the GUI and features is Everweb. It has a demo version that you can try. Text and photos from you current published site can be copied and pasted into Everweb to help the migration over.
There are other possible candidates. Just search the iWeb forum for "iWeb alternative" or "iWeb replacement" to get a list of topics discussing them.

I am having trouble trying to get my address book from my mac (just downloaded Lion for this purpose) to my 3G ipad. Set up an icloud account but still confused! Please help !

I updated my mac with os x Lion so that I could accomplish moving my address book from the mac to my new IPad 3G. I also set up an icloud account for this purpose, but I *still* cannot figure out how to move my address book from one computer to the other. When I'm on my mac and try to use bluetooth to export the address book, I'm able to find my ipad but I soon get a message that it does not support the necessary services. I have no idea what's going on and would appreciate any advice. tks in advance, Sarah

The address book syncs via iCloud, not Bluetooth or iTunes.
You upgraded to Lion so you could use iCoud.
On the computer. go to Apple menu > System prefs > iCloud.
Sign into your iCloud account.
Tick everything.
This enalbes the se items syncing to iCloud.
On the iPad, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Create a new iCloud account.
Sign in with the same AppleID as your computer.
Settings > iCloud and turn everything on.
BAM!
That is all you need to do.
Your contacts (and all other checked items checked) will sync between computer and iPad.
No need to use iTunes

Purpose of AP_INTERFACE_CONTROLS in the payables open import program.

Hi,
Can anyone explain the purpose of the table AP_INTERFACE_CONTROLS in the payable open import program.
Regards
Deepak

Hello Deepak.
AP_INTERFACE_CONTROLS is a temporary table that holds control information about segregated data in the AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE table during the Payables Open Interface Import. The table ensures that each import must be unique with respect to the combination of SOURCE and GROUP_ID. This allows the submission of multiple imports at the same time.
Your Oracle Payables application deletes the information from this table when you complete an import.

Purpose & usage of t.code MR11(Maintain GR/IR Clearing account)

Hi All,
Could you pls let me know the Purpose of the T.Cde MR11(Maintain GR/IR Clearing account) and how do we use it.
Is that only to verify and post the valiances between GR & IR.
Rquest for quick help as we have user training tomorrow.
thank you
Chandu

MR11 is used to clear quantity difference between GR and IR.
Some time we may have delivery surplus or Invoice surplus this lead to credit or debit balance in GR/IR account for specific PO.
For e.g. you have PO for 10 quantities at price RS 100 per Unit.
You received GR for 8 Quantity and invoice for 10 quantities.
GR/IR account has Debit balance for Rs 200 because of above business scenario. Suppose after few days or months you realize that vendor is not going to send remaining 2 quantities for which you have already invoiced and paid.
Now you clear GR/IR account through MR11 by updating the stock value if there is enough stock coverage to the value of 200, if there is no enough stock coverage then difference is posted to price difference gain or loss account.

MM(PO) :: Not purpose any info record when PO creation

Dear Expert,
I have the problem with PO creation. Our user required to not purpose any info record information when create PO.
Because they want fresh blank PO. I don't know how to do to not activate any info record. Please advise.
Thank you in advance ^^

Hi,
If you want to delete the info record, you can set the deletion indicator with ME15 or if you want that after PO the info record should not get updated in the PO at item level in material data de-select the check box info update.

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library?

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library? I assumed that like the videos in iPhoto, I would be able to access the videos in Aperture through iMovie. Come on Apple! I am starting to get frustrated with your products here. And this is saying a lot when I have been using and loving apple products for the last 4 years.

Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
APPLE. What are you doing?
