Push Button look and feel

Hi,
I am using forms 10g
I have a requirement to make the look and feel of the push button like a hyperlink.
Basically the button background should merge with the canvas background and text should appear on the canvas.
I have to use push buttons only as i have a require setting mouse navigate property for the buttons to function correctly.
I tried using image instead of buttons but image does not have mouse navigate property.
kindly reply as this is becoming a show stopper fr the proposed look and feel in the current project.

One use case for setting mouse navigate property to yes is mentioned in this link
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_as_10g/bi/forms/formsmasterdetailobe.htm
When Mouse Navigate is No, Form Builder does not perform navigation to the item when the end user activates it with the mouse. For example, a mouse click in a button or check box is not treated as a navigational event.
Form Builder fires any triggers defined for the button or check box (such as When-Button-Pressed), but the input focus remains in the current item.
When Mouse Navigate is Yes, Form Builder navigates to the item, firing any appropriate navigation and validation triggers on the way.
if the button performs query or cancel mouse navigate is set to No
if the button performs first ,next, commit record mouse navigate is set to Yes.

JTree Button, Line and Java look and feel ?

Hi all,
I have 3 small problem with my JTree ..
1) The 'expand' button size ...
I set a different Icon for each node in a getTreeCellRendererComponent method (from a class that extends DefaultTreeCellRenderer )...
The icon are 32x32 pixels.. .and the RowHeight and the Font have been changed too. .
How to change the size of the expand button (+/-) near the text node ? Because on my JTree, the expand/collapse buttons are really small compare to the icon & row height.
2) No line appear between the node ...
I try to set the line style property with -> putClientProperty("JTree.lineStyle", "Angled"); in the JTree constructor OR in the DefaultTreeCellRenderer constructor .. but it doesn't work :/
3) How to set a Java look and feel for my JTree (actually, I have a Windows look and feel ..)
I know .. I have grouped 3 question in the same topic ...
If anyone can help me on one of these subjects. .. Thanks !
Regards,
Didier

So, the Problem 1) is solved ..
About the Problem 2)
I put the code UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel()) in the main method, like
//Main method
public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      UIManager.setLookAndFeel(new javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel());
    catch(Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    new MainApplication();
}But it only set a Java L&F on the spliter, and on the toolbar contained in my application... Any idea why the title bar is not changed too ?
(The title bar stay with a Window$ XP L&F ...)
About the problem 3)
When I set the L&F->UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName()); then the lines appear .. ??!! .. if I set again the previous value UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName()); .. then the lines desappear ..

Handle to Look and feel scrollbdown button icon possible?

Is there any way to get handle to the Look and feel scrollbdown button icon ( an arrow pointing down) programmatically?

Not in a simple way, AFAIK. You'll probably have to override the corresponding plaf UI delegate to do that.

Changing look and feel with radio buttons

k this is the code that i have so far, Yes i read the tutorial and stuff but it doesnt seem to make any sense and all. tell me what else i need in this code to do what i want, its the action performed part i didnt put the other code, what else do i need??? but well...you will see grips of duke dollars to whom can do it
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
String actionCommand = e.getActionCommand();
if(actionCommand.equals("Metal"))
try
UIManager.setLookAndFeel( "javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel" );
catch (Exception ex)
else if(actionCommand.equals("Windows"))
try
UIManager.setLookAndFeel( "com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel" );
catch (Exception ex)
else if(actionCommand.equals("Motif"))
try
UIManager.setLookAndFeel( "com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel");
catch (Exception ex)
}

While not in the tutorial, I have found several other things necessary to get the look and feel change to be complete. Here is the code I'm using after I set the look and feel. It seems to do a pretty good job of sync'ing everything together.
            SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(TDba.getFrame());
            TDba.getFrame().pack();
            Dimension dim = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
            Integer w = new Integer((int)(dim.width * .8));
            Integer h = new Integer((int)(dim.height * .8));
            TDba.getFrame().setSize(w.intValue(), h.intValue());

2- then I put a copy of the file 'forms.css' in the middle tier in the folder :
apache\apache\htdocs
so as to be on the path and then modified PM$CSS_FILENAME in all forms to be 'forms.css' instead of 'c:\forms.css' and recompiled.
3-I put a copy of the file 'laf.jar' in the folder : 'd\Ora_AS\forms\java' in the middle tier and added this path to the classpath environment variable.
4- I restarted the middle tier and wrote this URL:
http://test/forms/frmservlet/config=summit
the customers form opened but with no background images,I added the following to the URL '&form=test_laf_color_scheme.fmx',the form opened with the default color scheme to 'purple',I changed it from a drop down list to orange and all buttons background color degraded to orange.
My questions:
1-where are the background images ?
2- I cannot compile the 'laf.pll' file to 'laf.plx',when I compile I get this error:
FRm-91507 -internal error
P.S. I read this thread :
FRM-91507 when compiling a library with Forms 6i
and I didn't understand it,where do I change the Forms_Path? in the forms Home release 1 or Forms home release 2?!!!
3-Is the 'forms.css' file properly located? if not? where do I put it?
Sorry for the long scenario but I'm really confused?
Thanks
Mohammad

Hello,
I'm curently out of everything so I cannot answer this one. All I can tell is that images are read from the client machine or jar file. If you want read images from the application server, you need the http:// syntax.

Problem With ButtonUI in an Auxiliary Look and Feel

This is my first post to one of these forums, so I hope everything works correctly.
I have been trying to get an axiliary look and feel installed to do some minor tweaking to the default UI. In particular, I need it to work with Windows and/or Metal as the default UI. For the most part I let the installed default look and feel handle things with my code making some colors lighter, darker, etc. I also play with focus issues by adding FocusListeners to some components. I expect my code to work reasonably well no matter what the default look and feel is. It works well with Motif, Metal, and Windows, the only default look and feels I've tested with. What I'm going to post is a stripped down version of what I have been working on. This example makes gross changes to the JButton background and foreground colors in order to illustrate what I've encountered.
I have three source code files. The first, Problem.java, creates a JFrame and adds five buttons to it. One button installs MyAuxLookAndFeel as an auxiliary look and feel using MyAuxButtonUI for the look and feel of JButtons. The next button removes that look and feel. The next button does nothing except print a line to System.out. The next button installs MyAuxLookAndFeel as an auxiliary look and feel using MyModButtonUI for the look and feel of JButtons. The last button removes that look and feel.
The problem is, when I install the first auxiliary look and feel, buttons are no longer tabable. Also, they cannot be invoked by pressing the space button when they're in focus. When I remove the first auxiliary look and feel everything reverts to behaving normally. When I add the "Mod" version, button tabability is fine. The only difference is I've added the following code:
if ( c.isFocusable() ) {
   c.setFocusable(true);
}That strikes me as an odd piece of code to profoundly change the program behavior. Anyway, after adding and removing the "Mod" look and feel, the tababilty is forever fixed. That is, if I subsequently re-install the first look and feel, tababilty works just fine.
The problem with using the space bar to select a focused button is more problematic. My class is not supposed to mess with the default look and feel which may or may not use the space bar to press the button with focus. When the commented code in MyModButtonUI is uncommented, things behave correctly. Even the statement
button.getInputMap().remove( spaceKeyStroke );doesn't mess things up after the auxiliary look and feel is removed. So far I've tested this with JRE 1.4.2_06 under Windows 2000, JRE 1.4.2_10 under Windows XP, and JRE 1.5.0_06 under Windows XP and the behavior is the same.
All of this leads me to two questions.
1. Is my approach fundamentally flawed? I've extended TextUI and ScrollBarUI with no problems. This is the only problem I've encountered with ButtonUI. My real workaround for the space bar issue is better than the one I've supplied in the example, but it certainly is not guaranteed to work for any arbitrary default look and feel.
2. Assuming I have no fundamental problems with my approach, it's possible I've found a real bug. I searched the bug database and couldn't find anything like this. Of course, this is the first time I've tried seasrching the database for a bug so my I'm doing it badly. Has this already been reported as a bug? Is there any reason I shouldn't report it?
What follows is the source code for my example. It's in three files because the two ButtonUI classes must be public in order to work. Thanks for insight you can provide.

Transparent TextField with Synth Look and Feel

I am trying to use synth to implement a textfield with a transparent background, and having some problems with it. I can see my panel and the transparent field fine enough in the beginning, but when the text in the field changes, it writes right over the previous text and becomes a pile of unreadable white marks. I've experimented with varying degrees of transparency, but you can still see the old field underneath slightly. Does anyone have any suggestions? My code is below.
Thanks.
synth.xml
<synth>

<style id="panelStyle">
    <state>
        <imagePainter method="panelBackground" path="../../../lafImages/papyrus_bkgd.gif" sourceInsets="10 15 10 15"/>

    public SynthTester(){
        initLookAndFeel();
        JFrame main = new JFrame();
        JPanel panel = new JPanel();
        panel.setName("PAPYRUS_PANEL");
        field = new JTextField(3);

                } catch( Exception ex ) {

                val++;

            e.printStackTrace();

}

As its name implies, an imagePainter element creates a SynthPainter that paints from an image. For example:
<synth>
<style id="example">
<state>
<color value="white" type="BACKGROUND"/>
</state>
<imagePainter method="panelBackground" path="background.png"
sourceInsets="5 6 6 7" paintCenter="false"/>
<insets top="5" bottom="6" right="7" left="6"/>
</style>
<bind style="example" type="region" key="Panel"/>
</synth>

Notification center look and feel

The new notification center look and feel seems quite unlike the rest of the iPhone.
Most of the iPhone has a light colored, rounded, kind of comfortable look. But the new notification center has a much more dark, angular look. (To me, it looks more like an Android app than an iOS component.)
Any chance it can be rebranded? Or failing that, any chance of a settings option to customise the background image, so I can at least change from the dark "linen" texture to a wallpaper of my choice? (e.g. it might look much nicer (to me!) if I could change it to use the default iPhone water drops background). The slide down button itself (the bit of the notification center graphics which appears on screen, even in full-screen mode, if you make the 'wrong' move) could be much more rounded, as well.
Mike

iOs 5 in general looks and feels awkward to me. It feels cheap and not at all as polished as Apple's products have been in the past. The alarms have new colors for no apparent reason, the text messages have colors for no apparent reason, the notification center has a distracting texture, again, for no reason... Yet none of these colors or textures are configurable or removable. What was the point exactly?
This theme shift is quite discouraging in the grand scheme of things. It doesn't bother me much, but I definitely prefered the way my phone looked when I bought it.

PushButton with Windows XP Look and Feel

Hi all,
I am looking for a way to give my buttons in my Oracle Forms 10gR2 (with Sun JPI 1.5) a Windows XP look and feel. In my formsweb.cfg I can choose between a generic and an oracle look and feel. The generic look and feel claims to have the windows look and feel, but unfortunatly, this is a Windows 3.11 L&F. Because of the overall look and feel of the Oracle L&F we decided on using this L&F but we would like our buttons to look like other buttons in Windows XP. I think this can be done by building a specific java implementation class but I have no experience with this.
Did anybody already build such an implementation class and willing to share it with me?
Thanks in advance,
Harold

The only way to accomplish this is with a Java Bean or PJC. Refer to the Oracle Forms Demos for some examples of what can be done with Beans and PJCs. Also, refer to the following page:
http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/categorie-450786.html
Forms Demos on OTN:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/products/forms/index.html
One other suggestion would be to use:
LookAndFeel=oracle
colorScheme=blaf
This will not resemble XP, but does offer a more professional looking application over the standard colors. BLAF was originally created for Oracle Applications, but works in all versions of Forms 6i and newer. BLAF = Browser Look And Feel

How can I include a JSP, Maximized, and retain look and feel(WSRP)

I have created a page group and defined a root page with a certain look and feel. There are two portlets on the page. Once the user clicks on a submit button, the portlet performs some action and includes a jsp included in the EAR file. The portlet needs to maximize the UI to display the jsp correctly.
Once control returns back to the screen, the look and feel is lost and uses Oracle's default style. I have two questions:
1. From the portlet, how can I retain the look and feel of the page group when referencing "external" jsp (i.e JSPs in the deployed portal EAR file).
2. How can I "redirect" the user to the home page in a standard way? If there is not a standard way, how do I use the Oracle specific utilities to do it?
All of my JSPs are developed externally out of the scope of the Oracle Portal.
Environment - Oracle Portal 10.1.4 on Release 2 using WSRP to contact Oracle Release 3, hosted EAR file (WSRP Producer).
Thanks in advance.

Hi José,
I don't think that is possible. But you can import the css files that ep uses for its look and feel and try to give your web pages similar look and feel. The tables and other controls used in EP are totally different and are done through complex JavaScript coding instead of simple HTML tags. If you want exact lok and feel then i thin you must go for a Webdynpro based application rather then a J2EE application with JSPs.

Tweak Javas Look and Feel

Hello everybody,
just wondering if you can help me here, I want to tweak the Look and Feel of some of the objects within a program such a menu backgrounds etc. I think that I am the right lines with this but it does not appear to do anything
I have a class which is called DefaultDEFTheme in this I am declaring the following lines:
public ColorUIResource getRedBackground()/*Could this be problem because getRedBackground does not exist?*/
return new ColorUIResource(255, 0, 0);
Then I have a class that is called DEFLookandFeel and I want to set the colors in the UIDefaults table, so for instance this is the code if I wanted to change the menu background
protected void initSystemColorDefaults(UIDefaults table)
Object[] systemColors = {
"desktop", getDesktopColor(), /* Color of the desktop background */
"activeCaption", getWindowTitleBackground(), /* Color for captions (title bars) when they are active. */
"activeCaptionText", getWindowTitleForeground(), /* Text color for text in captions (title bars). */
"activeCaptionBorder", getPrimaryControlShadow(), /* Border color for caption (title bar) window borders. */
"inactiveCaption", getWindowTitleInactiveBackground(), /* Color for captions (title bars) when not active. */
"inactiveCaptionText", getWindowTitleInactiveForeground(), /* Text color for text in inactive captions (title bars). */
"inactiveCaptionBorder", getControlShadow(), /* Border color for inactive caption (title bar) window borders. */
"window", getWindowBackground(), /* Default color for the interior of windows */
"windowBorder", getControl(), /* ??? */
"windowText", getUserTextColor(), /* ??? */
"menu", getMenuBackground(), /* Background color for menus, I am right in presuming this does not change? */
"menuText", getMenuForeground(), /* Text color for menus */
"text", getWindowBackground(), /* Text background color */
"textText", getUserTextColor(), /* Text foreground color */
"textHighlight", getTextHighlightColor(), /* Text background color when selected */
"textHighlightText", getHighlightedTextColor(), /* Text color when selected */
"textInactiveText", getInactiveSystemTextColor(), /* Text color when disabled */
"control", getControl(), /* Default color for controls (buttons, sliders, etc) */
"controlText", getControlTextColor(), /* Default color for text in controls */
"controlHighlight", getControlHighlight(), /* Specular highlight (opposite of the shadow) */
"controlLtHighlight", getControlHighlight(), /* Highlight color for controls */
"controlShadow", getControlShadow(), /* Shadow color for controls */
"controlDkShadow", getControlDarkShadow(), /* Dark shadow color for controls */
"scrollbar", getControl(), /* Scrollbar background (usually the "track") */
"info", getPrimaryControl(), /* ToolTip Background */
"infoText", getPrimaryControlInfo() /* ToolTip Text */
for (int i = 0; i < systemColors.length; i += 2)
table.put( (String) systemColors, systemColors[i + 1]);
UIManager.put("Button.select", getButtonSelectColor());
// Set the color for selected button */
UIManager.put("Button.background", getButtonBackground());
/* Set the color for selected button */
UIManager.put("Menu.background", getRedBackground());
/* Set the color for the menu to red background*/
Then further on I set this:
public static ColorUIResource getRedBackground(){ return getCurrentTheme().getRedBackground(); }
But i have left in the getMenuBackground above it, I have also tried to take it out but nothing happens.
I also have a class called DEFTheme and in this I declare the following
public ColorUIResource getRedBackground()
return new ColorUIResource(255, 0, 0 );
Yet after changing all of this nothing ever happens. Am I going about this the completley wrong way ie should I change the colors in the DEFTheme and thats it?
Please please help, this is becoming a real problem and I cannot find any relevant resources!!
Thanks so much in advance,
Z.

Yes, its a crosspost, but this is the correct forum since this a Swing related question. Your crosspost comment belongs in the other forum.

JFrame look and feel

Hi everybody,
I'm a beginner in working with Java Look and Feel. I want to customize a frame's title bar, border and buttons. For example I want to put some other icons for the close, minimize and maximize button, change the height and color of the titlebar, and put some other border to the window.
My question is if I can do this by modifying the LAF. Maybe somebody can give me a link to some good and detailed documentation regarding LAF.
Thanks.

Hi,
You have a better chance to get your question answered if you post this in the Swing forum. (Do also mention that it is a cross-post, and provide a link to this thread)

Look and Feel

Salutations,
I am writing a simple swing program that when the user clicks a button corresponding to a look and feel name ie "Metal" etc. the Look and Feel is Changed, it works great except for one problem, it will not change to the "Metal" look and feel, I believe this to be the default look and feel, but when changed to another, it will not change back. Any suggestions?
thanks,
J

Here's the code from the SwingSet2 Demo:
// Possible Look & Feels
    private static final String mac      = "com.sun.java.swing.plaf.mac.MacLookAndFeel";
    private static final String metal    = "javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel";
    private static final String motif    = "com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif.MotifLookAndFeel";
    private static final String windows = "com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel";
        try {
            UIManager.setLookAndFeel(currentLookAndFeel);
            SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this);
            // where currentLookAndFeel is one of those Strings
        } catch (Exception ex) {
         System.out.println("Failed loading L&F: " + currentLookAndFeel);
         System.out.println(ex);
// And as an (unexpected) bonus, it's the same as the code I once used:
static String windowsClassName = "com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel";
        try
            javax.swing.UIManager.setLookAndFeel(windowsClassName);
            javax.swing.SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(this);
        catch(Exception e)
