Resizing AppletViewer in JBuilder

Could someone tell me how you resize the appletviewer in JBuilder6 so you can view the full applet with this feature(when you press the play button)

Don't bother answering this now - I have worked it out myself now.
So I award the duke dollars to myself :)

Applets stop() method is not executed

Hi,
I

ups, once again...
i'm writing on an applet for database administration and i want to save all the changes when the user closes the browser. i know already that the stop() method is called in this cases. that's why i made this changes in that method. but i was very astonished that sometimes the changes were saved and sometimes not. so i found out that the stop() method is canceled in the middle of execution. i'm using the newest java plugin and ie 5.5. maybe i also have to mention that everything works fine if i run the applet with the appletviewer from jbuilder. does someone know how to control the stop() method or are there any limitations regarding in execution time or whatever?
thanks in advance!

Applet working on JBuilder but not on appletviewer!!!!!

I ve made a keybord.Here some buttons are missing. The user presses the buttons and shapes a word!When the jButton22 is pressed(Comparison button) the applet tells him if the result is true or false and displays an image(imageIcon foruser in jlabel forusers) with the correct result!!The jlabel for users is setVisible(false) and setVisible(true) when the comparison button is pressed and the result is wrong.My problem is that the jlabel works fine in JBuilder but when i run the applet in appletviewer the jlabel forusers isnt showing!!If i minimize and maximize the window then the label appears and from that point is working properly!Any suggestions would be appreciated!Thank you!!

I performed some testing on your program, and get an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException on one of the buttons. So, I guess there have to be some implementation logic error.
Since I have no idea what your program is trying to achieve, here's what you can do:
1. Try to shorten your program.
2. Add your code piece by piece.
3. Perform some logic testing.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3.

I can't view my JApplet in appletviewer. Why?

I tried writing a simple program on my own and i compiled them in JPadpro 3.6. there is no error. no warnings too.
but when i run the JApplet thr. appletviewer,
the comments stated in the viewer was:
Start: applet not initialized
i can't find what's the mistake i've made in my program. can u pls help me spot it and how it should be coded?
//------------------my tried out login program--------//
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class login extends JApplet
     //initialize
     JLabel loginTitle, loginLabel, passLabel;
     JTextField loginText, passText;
     JButton loginBut, cancelBut, resetBut;
     public void init()
     resize(400,300);
     Container content = getContentPane();
     content.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
     // create & add title
     loginTitle = new JLabel("Policyholder Login");
     content.add(loginTitle);
     //create & add labels and textfields
     loginLabel = new JLabel("Login name:");
     loginText = new JTextField(9);
     content.add(loginLabel);
     content.add(loginText);
     //create & add buttons
     loginBut = new JButton("Login");
     cancelBut = new JButton("Cancel");
     resetBut = new JButton("Clear All");
     content.add(loginBut);
     content.add(cancelBut);
     content.add(resetBut);
thanks in advance for your contribution of knowledge....

The error message printed to the console quite clearly states the problem: applet not public, cannot access applet with modifiers ""
change your declaration of "class login extends JApplet" to "public class login extends JApplet", and you'll find it works fine.

What happens on resize (and how can I force it to happen without resizing)?

Hello everybody!
After running into this for the umpteenth time, I have decided to ask somebody who knows better. So, here goes:
Often, when I change something in the layout of an applet or an application (e.g. removing a JComponent and replacing it with another one), it doesn't get updated. I need to resize the Application window or the AppletViewer window, and then the change is correctly displayed and everything works fine. For Applets, I figured out that I can pack() as a workaround, but this can have some nasty side effects. I haven't been able to find anything for Applets though (an Applet doesn't have a pack() method).
So, does anyone know what exactly happens when I resize that window and why then my changes to the layout are applied? And, more importantly, what I have to do to reproduce this effect without resizing?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Wojtek

Thanks for the reply! Doesn't work though (invalidate-revalidate was one of my first tries...):
- Applet has no revalidate().
- If I put all my stuff into an extra JPanel that I add to the Applet, and revalidate() the JPanel after changing the stuff in it, nothing happens, I still need to resize.
Any other ideas?

Applet development in Internet Explorer Vs AppletViewer

hello, i have build rmi chatting applet.
when i test my applet with appletviewer, it work finely
but when i try it in internet explorer 6 it can do properly
like in appletviewer. what's wrong with it?
for information, i build my applet with jbuilder 5 and i have
setting my html file so ie6 can recognize my applet with <object>
</object> tag. what's problem exactly with my development?

If you look in the Plug-in console (right click on the icon on your task bar in Windows) you will probably see that you have a Security Exception because unsigned applets are not allowed to connect to other hosts.
Solutions
1. buy a certificate and sign the applet
2. for testing, use PolicyTool to grant the required SocketPermission(s)
Search the archives for details of how to do either.

Applet is UNABLE to resize browser frame !!!

Hello,
I've developed signed swing applet that I want to be able to resize or move its parent frame (the browser). In a case of the appletviewer there is no problem, but when working with the browser the applet's command to the parent frame (IE6) to resize has no effect. Actually, after setting a new size to IE window getSize returns correct (new) dimensions but the window itself remains unchanged.
Do you have any idea how can I make this working ??????
THANX

Sum-shusSue
My applet creates a modal dialog - this is the only applet's GUI, and I want to resize browser's window from within the applet, not by the JavaScript code, because I need the browser's window to get resized ONLY AFTER the applet has got loaded and run.

Netscape crashes when resizing window

I have a web page with the following outline in a frame:
| | |
| applet | html |
| | |
-----------------When this browser window is resized netscape craps out! All windows close(even ones unrelated to my page) and then netscape exits. This only happens occasionally and not all the time. It happens in netscape6.2 and netscape7.
Any/all help is appreciated. Thanks!

By: "I cannot seem to get appletviewer to pop up a new browser window." . . . I guess you mean a new appletviewer window, right? Because you know that appletviewer ignores the html and shows only the Applet . . . right? Don't get mad at me now, I don't mean any disrespect ;^)
In place of running - or in addition to running - it from appletviewer, can you place debug code in the status of the browser at significant points and see exactly where the code breaks (if it is the code)?
Did you turn on the Java Console and watch the log? Does the log "stick" after Netscape crashes?
All thoughts. . . hope you get it working.
Of course, personally, as a time saver . . . I would reinstall Netscape just as someone else mentioned. It can't hurt, and it may save you time.

Resizing applet

Hi,
I have an applet which is quite large, when you run the applet using appletviewer it fills the whole screen, this means when I run the applet in an HTML document it is partly obscured and you have to scroll. I know you can size the applet in HTML but this will obscure it. It means I have to resize the layout in java, which would mean resizing every component etc (there are a few). I would like the applet to open and just fill the bowser screen. Is there an easy way around this.
cheers
macnero

1. Use a layout
2. Use constants for the frame size
3. Allow Java to "fit" all of the components in the frame, don't explicitly try to assign sizes of you don't need to do so.

Starting size of my appletviewer window

I want to create an applet of a certain size using Eclipse. I then want to run it using Eclipses appletviewer. My problem is that the appletviewer opens in a window smaller than the content i want to view. Although I can resize the appletviewer-window manually, I'd like to have it in a proper size from the beginning. Do you know how to set the window size at developing time?
thanks

At which place of my applet do i have to call the setSize() method? And what setSize() method? Applet.setSize() ?

Resized animated gif ImageIcon not working properly with JButton etc.

The problem is that when I resize an ImageIcon representing an animated gif and place it on a Jbutton, JToggelButton or JLabel, in some cases the image does not show or does not animate. More precicely, depending on the specific image file, the image shows always, most of the time or sometimes. Images which are susceptible to not showing often do not animate when showing. Moving over or clicking with the mouse on the AbstractButton instance while the frame is supposed to updated causes the image to disappear (even when viewing the non-animating image that sometimes appears). No errors are thrown.
Here some example code: (compiled with Java 6.0 compliance)
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Test
     public static void main(String[] args)
          new Test();
     static final int IMAGES        = 3;
     JButton[]           buttons       = new JButton[IMAGES];
     JButton             toggleButton = new JButton("Toggle scaling");
     boolean            doScale       = true;
     public Test()
          JFrame f = new JFrame();
          f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          JPanel p = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1, IMAGES));
          for (int i = 0; i < IMAGES; i++)
               p.add(this.buttons[i] = new JButton());
          f.add(p, BorderLayout.CENTER);
          f.add(this.toggleButton, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
          this.toggleButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
               @Override
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                    Test.this.refresh();
          f.setSize(600, 300);
          f.setVisible(true);
          this.refresh();
     public void refresh()
          this.doScale = !this.doScale;
          for (int i = 0; i < IMAGES; i++)
               ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon(i + ".gif");
               if (this.doScale)
                    image = new ImageIcon(image.getImage().getScaledInstance(180, 180, Image.SCALE_AREA_AVERAGING));
               image.setImageObserver(this.buttons);
               this.buttons[i].setIcon(image);
               this.buttons[i].setSelectedIcon(image);
               this.buttons[i].setDisabledIcon(image);
               this.buttons[i].setDisabledSelectedIcon(image);
               this.buttons[i].setRolloverIcon(image);
               this.buttons[i].setRolloverSelectedIcon(image);
               this.buttons[i].setPressedIcon(image);

When you press the "Toggle scaling"button it switches between unresized (properly working) and resized instances of three of my gif images. Notice that the left image almost never appears, the middle image always, and the right image most of the time. The right image seems to (almost) never animate. When you click on the left image (when visble) it disappears only when the backend is updating the animation (between those two frames with a long delay)
Why are the original ImageIcon and the resized ImageIcon behaving differently? Are they differently organized internally?
Is there any chance my way of resizing might be wrong?

It does work, however I refuse to use SCALE_REPLICATE for my application because resizing images is butt ugly, whether scaling up or down. Could there be a clue in the rescaling implementations, which I can override?
Maybe is there a way that I can check if an image is a multi-frame animation and set the scaling algorithm accordingly?

How can I get just the text to resize, rather than the entire web page?

I used to be able to re-size just text on a webpage by typing Ctrl + +. Today, the entire webpage re-sizes, and when I move to another page it reverts. (I see this mostly in Facebook.). Why did this change, and can I go back to having just the text re-size?

How can I implement a status bar at the bottom of a resizable application?

Hello all,
I am a JavaFx newbie and I am implementing an application (a Sokoban game), with a menu at the top of the frame and a gaming area covering the rest of the frame. To support the game, I have to load images at certain positions in the gaming area.
The game also includes a level editor with another menubar and where images are set to other positions.
I implemented this in another view, swiching from the game mode to the level editor mode and vice versa is just done by setting the other view visible. Up to now this works, here the important statements building these details:
Group root = new Group();
gameView = new Group(); // for gaming mode
le_view = new Group()   // for level editor mode
MenuBar gameMenubar = new MenuBar();
Menu menuGame = new Menu(bundle.getString("MenuGame"));
... building the menu items and menues ...
gameView.getChildren().add(gameMenubar);
ImageView buildingView[][] = new ImageView[22][22];
for (nCol = 0; nCol < 22; nCol++) {
    for (nRow = 0; nRow < 22; nRow++) {
        buildingView[nCol][nRow] = new ImageView();
        buildingView[nCol][nRow].setX(nCol * 26 + 5);
        buildingView[nCol][nRow].setY(nRow * 26 + 40);
        gameView.getChildren().add(buildingView[nCol][nRow]);
gameView.setVisible(true);
root.getChildren().add(gameView);
... same stuff to build the le_view ...
le_View.setVisible(false);
root.getChildren().add(le_View);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 800, 600, Color.CORNSILK); Now I want to introduce a status bar at the bottom of the frame, which of course has to follow the bottom of the frame, if it is resized. And of course the menu and the status bar should not grow vertically, if the height of the frame is increased.
The implementation seems to be easy with StackPane for the frame and one BorderPane for each mode.
For the first step I only tried implementing the game mode with only one BorderPane (just setting the menu, the gaming area and the status bar each into a HBox and setting these three HBoxes at the top, into the center and at the bottom). I also tried this via GridPane and via VBox; I always get any erroneous behaviour:
Either the menubar is visible, but the menus do not pop up the menu items, or the anchor point of the menu and of gaming area are set 100 pixels left of the left frame border and move into the frame when the frame width is increased, or the menu is set 20 pixels below the top of the frame, or HBox with the menu grows when the frame height is increased, so that the anchor point of the gaming area moves down.
Can you describe me a correct construction of such a frame? Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Gerhard

Hello Gerhard,
Glad the code helped, thanks for a fun layout exercise.
For the draft code I just pulled an icon off the internet over a http connection.
If you haven't done so already place any icons and graphics you need local to your project, so that resource lookups like:
Image img = new Image("http://www.julepstudios.com/images/close-icon.png");become
Image img = new Image("close-icon.png");then performance may improve.
Another possible reason for your performance problem could be that when you use a vbox, the vbox content can overflow the area of the borderpane center and might be sitting on top of the menu pane, making you unable to click the menu (which is what happens to me when I try that with the draft program with the vbox wrapping mod, then resize the scene to make it smaller). This was a trick which caught me and the reason that I used a Group originally rather than a vbox. I found a vbox still works but you need to tweak things a bit. The trick I saw was that the order in which you add stuff to the borderpane is important. The borderpane acts like a stack where the last thing added floats over the top of everything else if you size the scene small enough. For your project you want the menu on top always, so it always needs to be the last thing added to the borderpane, but when you swap in the level pane for the game pane, then back out again, the game pane can end up on top of the menu which makes the menu seem like you can't click it (only when the scene is sized small enough). It was quite a subtle bug which took me a little while to work out what was happening. For me the solution was to add just one vbox to the center of the border, and then swap the game pane and the level editor in and out of the vbox, that way the center of the layout always stayed behind the menu bar and the status bar.
I added some revisions to reflect the comments above and placed some comments in the code to note what was changed and why.
public class SampleGameLayoutRevised extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) { Application.launch(args); }
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
    final BorderPane gameLayout = new BorderPane();
    final Group gameView = new Group();
    final MenuBar gameMenubar = new MenuBar();
    final Menu gameMenu = new Menu("Mode");
    final VBox centerView = new VBox();
    centerView.setStyle("-fx-background-color: darkgreen"); // we set a background color on the center view to check if it overwrites the game menu.
    MenuItem playGameMenu = new MenuItem("Play Game");
    MenuItem levelEditMenu = new MenuItem("Edit Levels");
    gameMenu.getItems().add(playGameMenu);
    gameMenu.getItems().add(levelEditMenu);
    gameMenubar.getMenus().add(gameMenu);
    final StackPane levelEditView = new StackPane();
    levelEditView.getChildren().add(new Text("Level Editor"));
    ImageView buildingView[][] = new ImageView[22][22];
    Image img = new Image("http://www.julepstudios.com/images/close-icon.png"); // use of http here is just for example, instead use an image resource from your project files.
    for (int nCol = 0; nCol < 22; nCol++) {
      for (int nRow = 0; nRow < 22; nRow++) {
        ImageView imgView = new ImageView(img);
        imgView.setScaleX(0.5);
        imgView.setScaleY(0.5);
        buildingView[nCol][nRow] = imgView;
        buildingView[nCol][nRow].setX(nCol * 20 + 5);
        buildingView[nCol][nRow].setY(nRow * 20 + 40);
        gameView.getChildren().add(buildingView[nCol][nRow]);
    final VBox statusBar = new VBox();
    final Text statusText = new Text("Playing Game");
    statusBar.getChildren().add(statusText);
    statusBar.setStyle("-fx-background-color: cornsilk"); // we set a background color on the status bar,
                                                          // because we can't rely on the scene background color
                                                          // because, if the scene is sized small, the status bar will start to overlay the game view
                                                          // and if we don't explicitly set the statusBar background the center view will start
                                                          // to bleed through the transparent background of the statusBar.
    gameLayout.setCenter(centerView); // we add the centerview first and we never change it, instead we put it's changeable contents in a vbox and change out the vbox content.
    gameLayout.setBottom(statusBar);
    gameLayout.setTop(gameMenubar);   // note the game layout is the last thing added to the borderpane so it will always stay on top if the border pane is resized.
    playGameMenu.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
      public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
        centerView.getChildren().clear(); // here we perform a centerview vbox content swap.
        centerView.getChildren().add(gameView);
        statusText.setText("Playing Game");
    levelEditMenu.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
      public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
        centerView.getChildren().clear(); // here we perform a centerview vbox content swap.
        centerView.getChildren().add(levelEditView);
        statusText.setText("Editing Level");
    playGameMenu.fire();
    Scene scene = new Scene(gameLayout, 800, 600, Color.CORNSILK);
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.show();
}Other than that I am not sure of a reason for the slowdown you are seeing. In my experience JavaFX has been quick and responsive for the tasks I have been using it for. Admittedly, I just use if for a bunch of small trial projects, but I've never seen it unresponsive for a minute.

In Windows 8.1, the Thunderbird window keeps resizing

I have a new Transformer T100A laptop, running Windows 8.1 Pro. I run Thunderbird in desktop mode. The height of the Thunderbird window keeps getting small, while the width remains the same. I usually have my folder mails in the top pane, and the open message in the bottom pane. When I open Thunderbird, it often, but not always, comes up with such a short window that I can't see any of the open message at all, and only a few lines of the messages in the folder. This happens often even when I haven't closed Thunderbird, but the computer has gone into battery saving mode. This is not a huge problem, but it's annoying to have to resize the window almost every time I use Thunderbird.

How resize pictures in table on PAGES 5.2?

The new version 5.2 was be optmized for import image in table, but how resize these pictures in table?

DO NOT use Pages 5.2. Use Keynote or Numbers. The latest versions of these apps are stable. Pages 5.2 nothing but trouble.
Here is what I do with my art, which must be perfect for commercial printing and other purposes.
Export the page with your table and art out as a PDF. Then bring the PDF into Adobe Illustator and make any changes you need to get the art looing exactly like what you want. Save the art from AI ouit to PDF. AI creates bullet proof PDF files. Then drag the clean PDF back into Pages.
One reason AI is the preferred route is that Adobe comlpliant PDF files are the standard in the commercial printing industry. These days, all files going to commercial printers must be in clean PDF format. As you would expect, there are some excellent apps for pre-flighint PDF files.
The final reason for using PDF for art is that your illustrations will move cleanly into iBook Author for iBooks and apps for creating international standard ePubs and Amazon MOBI files.
