Restrict movement of dialog box

hi,
I have an internal frame when the user clicks a button a dialog box should pop up , how shall i restrict the movement of dialog box within the parent..(Desktoppane) i have used custom dialog box coz i need to capture the button click event.
Thanks in advance

You could use a JDesktopPane with JInternalFrames, this is their default behaviour. Read this section from the Swing tutorial on "How to Use Internal Frames":
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/internalframe.html
Otherwise, you would have to add a ComponentListener to the JDialog. Whenever the JDialog is moved, you would check its location and if it is outside the bounds of the parent frame then you would reset its location. Here is a tutorial on "Using a Component Listener":

CS3 Help Menu "Move Items" Dialog Box

CS 3.0.1, WinXP Pro. When I open the Help menu, I get a dialog box called "Move Items." It lists folders and says, "Select the place where you want to move 'help.html' then click the Move button." I click Cancel, it comes up again, I hit Cancel, and the html Help file opens. I recently hit the Move button, and had to repair the installation to get Help to work again. Must that dialog box come up?
Thanks!

Thanks Peter. However, the Move button blanks out when I choose that folder (which makes sense). If I move it somewhere else, Dr. Watson Postmortem shuts down and everything locks up or Help no longer works. Guess I'll just live with the infinitesimal inconvenience of the situation as is. I rarely use the Help menu, so it's not a big deal.

Dialog boxes appear off screen

Hi!
I'm using Illustrator CC on a MacBook Pro. I use an external monitor as a second screen and usually move the application frame to the external monitor and work there. I started having the follwing problem: when I try to save or open a file, the dialogue box appears slightly off screen, so that I can't for instance type in a new file name, because I can't get to that part of the dialogue box.
I have tried switching between different screen modes, but it doesn't help. Also I can't manually move the dialog box - which also seems strange.
My external monitor is a NEC MultiSync EA273WM.
Any idea what could be the problem or how to solve it? It's slowly driving me mad...
Thanks in advance!

At the moment it looks like the problem is called 10.10.2
You can read through the posts of last week on this forum, but I'm afraid you won't find a solution.

Dialog box display won't update after screen blank or being moved

I have a modeless dialog box used for status display by a plugin I wrote for Acrobat. Everything works fine until the screen blanks or the user moves the dialog box on the screen, at which point no further updates to the dialog box are displayed. My plugin consumes 100% of CPU for long periods of time so the program can appear dead without this display being updated, but nothing I have tried seems to make any difference. The dialog box is generated with ADM and things I have tried include calling "Update" on the dialog box at regular intervals, the windows "Sleep" function to yield the CPU periodically, and a host of similar tactics.
I'm guessing all the code will get run together once I click submit, but here is how I create the diaglog box (it was working fine without the "WinAppRegisterModelessDialog", but I saw a reference to it elsewhere and tried it to see if it would help, not sure if it actually serves any useful purpose):
statWin = sADMDialog->Create(inPluginRef, DIALOG_ID, IDB_DIALOG1, kADMModalDialogStyle, NULL, NULL, 0);
WinAppRegisterModelessDialog((HWND)sADMDialog->GetWindowRef(statWin));
infoBox = sADMDialog->CreateItem(statWin, 5, kADMTextStaticType, &coords, NULL, NULL, 0);
// Status header
coords.top = coords.bottom + 10;
coords.bottom = coords.top + 12;
statHeader = sADMDialog->CreateItem(statWin, kADMUniqueItemID, kADMTextStaticType, &coords, NULL, NULL, 0);
// Status line
coords.top = coords.bottom + 10;
coords.bottom = coords.top + 12;
statLine = sADMDialog->CreateItem(statWin, kADMUniqueItemID, kADMTextStaticType, &coords, NULL, NULL, 0);
// Progress bar
coords.top = coords.bottom + 10;
coords.bottom = coords.top + 15;
progress = sADMDialog->CreateItem(statWin, kADMUniqueItemID, kADMProgressBarType, &coords, NULL, NULL, 0);
sADMItem->SetMinIntValue(progress, 0);
sADMItem->SetMaxIntValue(progress, totalPages);
// Set window size, and other attributes
sADMDialog->Size(statWin, coords.right + BORDER, coords.bottom + BORDER);
sADMDialog->SetText(statWin, PROD_NAME " - Progress");
// Set header for status line
sADMItem->SetText(statHeader, " Page # % Complete Estimated Time remaining");
// Initialize progress bar
sADMItem->Update(progress);
Updates are currently performed with the following code segment. The last two lines are my attempts to get the display to update once the screen blanks:
// show it
sADMItem->SetText(statLine, textBuf);
// Update progress bar
sADMItem->SetIntValue(progress, pagesCompleted);
// Force display update/refresh
sADMDialog->Update(statWin);
// Yield for display update (in case of screen blank or user changes)
Sleep((DWORD)100);
Everything works fine until the window is moved or screen blanking occurs, after that nothing seems to work, all updates to the box cease to be displayed. Any suggestions?

OK guys here's an update. First I went to BIOS and updated the initial display setting to "LCD panel only" from "Auto". At first I thought it helped, because when I worked at the laptop without the external screen attached, the internal LCD panel resumed normally from off (previously this didn't work).
But today while I was in the office with my external 19" LCD screen attached, and both of them went off after being idle for 10 minutes, the internal LCD panel didn't resume again. So I've tried the Fn + F5 key combination to switch between modes, and I switched from dualview back to single. The internal LCD panel blinked for a second and then turned off immediately, and from that moment on, I was without picture on both of them. SO I ended up hibernating and resuming again. :( An important note - as soon as the computer began hibernating, the LCD went on and I could see the whole progress of hibernation before it turned off.
Also another note - when I'm in dualview, I always have keep the internal LCD panel as the primary screen. So unfortunately, when it doesn't resume, I don't have access to the taskbar etc to try more things...
Any more thoughts?
Thanks again!

Twitchy mouse on dialog boxes in photoshop cs6

Hey there,
So I have a really weird problem with photoshop cs6. For some reason my mouse cursor starts twitching when I move over dialog boxes. I have recorded a video to show you what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rouox93xMo
I am currently on the 30 day trial period, because I had gotten an unlimited license via surfspot, but that turned out to NOT be unlimited, suddenly expired (misinformation by surfspot), waiting to hear back from them to get a new license code. I've seen a lot of people on the forums complaining about the same thing, the surfspot unlimited license that suddenly expired shenanigans. I don't think that should have anything to do with it though, but I just thought I would put it out there.
In any case, I'm running windows 8 pro, and... well if you need any other info ask me, I'm not sure what to add. Hope someone can help, it's really annoying, sometimes I can barely click the dialog box correctly to enter what I want.

Hi robtompk,
It is highly unlikely that your problems are because of purchasing a discounted version of the software. Just to be sure, can you try closing other applications open on your computer, and try opening the dialog boxes in DW?
Also, what is the build number that you have? Use Help > About to get this information.
Thanks,

Photoshop CS5 pop-ups (Dialog boxes) will not stay / stick in place

My pop-up / dialog boxes have always opened in the same place as I had placed them from the previous time I had used them. All of a sudden they will no longer stick / stay, they open in the center of the page.
For example when I first open PS and I click Ctrl > C for Brightness / Contrast the box will open in the center of the page. If I move it to the side (so its not in the working area) it should open in that spot the next time I use it.
But now it will always open in the center of the page regardless of where I have placed it before. Very annoying it have to move the dialog boxes all the time.

What OS are you running?
I know of no way Windows can cause that, but I don't know about OS X.
If you can't find a direct solution, it might be a case where a complete Photoshop preferences reset to defaults could help... Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt simultaneously (or Command - Shift - Option if on a Mac) immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set. If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.

Hi,
I am using the function module F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST in screens, to implement a search help in my program , but instead of directly displaying the hit list , i want the restrictions screen to be displayed first with some default values, and the list should be displayed only based on the valuies entered in thius restrictions screen.

When I right click on a link to open in new tab and move my cursor into the dialog box the box dissapears this is new in the last 24 hours.

I'm using Firefox 8.0 on Suse 11.4 today is 11/28/11 the past 24 hours I've been experiencing this: I always try to right click on links and open in new tab, lately when I do so and move the cursor into the dialog box the box disappears. Also if I online shop say for clothing, if I want to change size's when I click the button to do so nothing happens when I want to scroll down and pick a different size, (I can hi-light the size and click on it then when the window scrolls back up the default size is still there. This isn't consistent with all web sites.

You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Move, delete, or rename files in Open or Save As Dialog box

I want to be able to rename, delete or move a file when I am in an Open or Save As dialog box. Sometimes when I am opening a file or saving a new file I spot an existing file that needs to be renamed, moved to a folder or even deleted. In Windows I would just take care of that file and then keep going with what I was doing in the first place. This doesn't seem to work in Mac OSX. I have to stop, go to a Finder window, go to the location, do what I want to do to the file and then go back to the Open or Save As dialog box. There's go to be a better way in the "world's most advanced operating system." Ideas?

CS5 Move dialog box angles

I've been using ai for many years. As far back as I can remember if you select an item and have either of the arrow tools as your current tool, hit the return key or double click either arrow tool you get the move dialog box. Everything in CS5 seems to be working the same until I try to move something up or down. I've always used positive numbers to move up and negative to move down. Now it's the opposite in CS5 (I don't know about CS4 since I've never purchased that upgrade). If I change the angle at the bottom of the box from 90° to -90° it works the way I'm used to, but the angle doesn't stick. Does/has anyone run into this and found out why or how to fix it? It doesn't seem to matter where I put the ruler zero at.
Adobe Illustrator CS5
Mac OSX 10.6.3

Fruit,
I think the Illustrator team was really listening to its users, who for many many years have been shouting from the rooftops to change the Ruler origin (0,0) to Top Left of the artboard.
I am not sure about the rooftops; maybe we shall see answers tt that here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2857555#2857555
Illustrator had been the exception to this rule (with its ruler origin at bottom left) when compared to other Adobe products like Photoshop & InDesign which had their ruler origin at the top left.
... and are all inherently (apart from PS) based on the conventions of Western writing:
and Illy was not but is now an exception when compared with corresponding applications such as FH, Draw, Canvas, Xtreme.
Agreed that some users will find the change not to their liking but that is how it works - no company can satisfy all its users all the time.
They, could by making it optional. Still, as shown in post #4, it is doable.

Which shortcut can I use to move the highlight in a dialog box to the first field in the dialog box?

I am working with FrameMaker 10. There used to be a keyboard shortcut for moving the highlight to the first field in a dialog box. Without this command I do not know how to move the highlight to the field I want to modify. I assume the highlight is on a random field when my script enters the dialog box.

In iPhoto
You need to switch Photo Stream on from System Preferences > iCloud not from iPhoto.

CS6 "move" dialog box issue

What is the secret to getting the "move" dialog box in AI CS6 to move objects the distance and direction entered in the box?

It's a group of vector polygons, with effects attached. I think rulers, transformation center, and preferences are similar to defaults. I'm not a skilled enough user to change much. I like inches, so I changed that. But otherwise, it's fairly bland. How do you reset the preferences?
I should also have mentioned that I'm using the 30-day trial version of Illustrator.
Just now, I opened up a new file, created a single rectangle, and was able to reproduce the problem. You can download the file through this link: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0Hoxcl5zTEtT1dvR0RjMkFyRTQ/edit?usp=sharing
Recipe for problem:
- Open file
- Left click the black rectangle.
- Right click the rectangle, choose tansform->move
- Tab. Tab. 1. Tab. 30. Tab. (note that h/v boxes fail to update, and remain 0)
- Click preview
Nothing happens.
It seems to me that if you enter values in the horizontal and vertical boxes, the distance/direction boxes update appropriately, and the move works fine. However, if you enter values in the distance/direction boxes, the horizontal and vertical boxes generally do not update at all, then sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes, the first set of distance/direction numbers work fine, but if you leave the move box open, then change those numbers, the h/v boxes then fail to update, and clicking preview just causes the object to move as for the previous settings, or to not move at all.

Pointer won't move automatically to default button in dialog box in firefox 4

Since I installed firefox 4, the pointer won't automatically snap to the default button in a dialog box. For example, when I delete trash in yahoo mail, there is a dialog that ask if I want to delete files, but the pointer is not on the default button.

Thanks StephenB. Yes, it is now obvious that the default button has been selected without the cursor jumping to it, and as you say, hitting "Enter" does the job. Still not as natural a process as just clicking the cursor key and as your hand is already on the mouse it is probable faster to still move the cursor to the button.
Maybe Mozilla will fix it in the future so that the cursor jumps once more.
