Running a dialog frame from a gui in runtime

i need to run a jdialogform from a gui by pressing a button. does anybody know of any documentation i could use to clarify how to do this.
thank you.

I have tried the code but it does not work I have pasted the code that I tried below.

}I know that you stated that I should pur NewjFrame 1 or 2 but the jFrames are just called jFrame without the New at the front. Can you see where it is going wrong.

How to run a shell script from the GUI?

This is probably a dumb question...
How do I run a shell script from the GUI? I've been told to double click it but when I do, it opens as a text file.

The behavior you describe is that used by the KDE and GNOME desktops of Linux.
Under OS X, if you make a script then mark it as executable, double-clicking on it in the Finder will not execute it. Actually, it uses a rather complex algorithm ([summarized here|http://arstechnica.com/reviews/2q00/macos-qna/macos-x-qa-2.html]) to determine what to do with it. This is implemented in Mac OS X' LaunchServices framework (incidentally, the associations are cached in /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices*.csstore and ~/Library/Caches/com.apple/LaunchServices*.csstore). You can read the details in the developer docs about LaunchServices.
Anyway, in short, the suffix '.command' is a built-in type in the LaunchServices network that identifies a shell script. If you run
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServic es.framework/Support/lsregister -dump
... it will tell you as much.

Running a Java application from a Swing GUI

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a simple way to run a Java application from a GUI built with Swing. I would presume there would be, because the Swing GUI is a Java application itself, technically.
So, I want a user to click a button on my GUI, and then have another Java application, which is in the same package with the same classpaths and stuff, run.
Is there a simple way to do this? Do any tutorials exist on this? If someone could give me any advice, or even a simple "yes this is possible, and it is simple" or "this is possible, but difficult" or "no this is not possible" answer, I would appreciate it. If anyone needs more information, I'll be happy to provide it.
Thanks,
Dan

I don't know if it is possible to run the main method from another Java app by simply calling it...
But you could just copy and paste the stuff from your main method into a new static method called something like runDBQuery and have all the execution run from there.
How does that sound? Is it possible?
What I'm suggeting is:
Original
public class DBQuery{
public static void methodA(){
public static void doQuery(){
methodA();
public static void main(String[] args){
// Your method calls
//Your initializing
doQuery();
}Revised:
public class DBQuery{
public static void methodA(){
public static void doQuery(){
methodA();
public static void doMyQuery(){
// Your method calls
//Your initializing
doQuery();
// No main needed!!
//public static void main(String[] args){
// Your method calls
//doQuery();
//}

Can we display GUI windows/dialog boxes from two asynchronus threads?

Hi All,
I'm facing a problem with asynchronous threads. I've a client-server application where client is a Java application and server is a C++ application running on UNIX m/c. The C++ server is implemented equivalent to a HTTP server which handles the HTTP requests from the java client. So, whenever user select some action on the Java client, say "File/Open" menu, the client sends the equivalent HTTP request to the server, and waits for the response back from the server, and after getting the response displays it on the GUI.
So far the java client application is single-threaded, and the communication between client-server was only one-way, i.e. all the communication was always initiated by the client.
We had to change this behavior to make it multi-threaded, or rather two-way communication where kernel while processing any client request might need some response from the GUI. So, we had to create a ServerSocket on java client side, and C++ server is connected to this socket. So, whenever C++ server has to send some message to the GUI, it can send thru this other socket.
On the java side, it's listening at this ServerSocket port in a separate thread, whenever it receives any request, it has to display a dialog box based on the request.
Here is my problem coming. The main application thread (which is an AWT-EVENT- thread) has made a http request to the kernel and is blocked until it gets the response back, and in the mean time, the C++ server has sent a message to the GUI thru the other socket, and when I use JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(...), I see the dialog box outline but not the contents, and the same for my main application window.
So main question here is, can I invoke, say,
JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(...) on another thread, when the main application thread (rather AWT-EVENT -QUEUE thread) is blocked.
Please let me know if anyone knows the answer or if has faced the similar problem. It will be a big help.
thanks,
Ajay

You mean to make the HTTP request in a separate thread, like below,
new Thread ( new Runnable() {
public void run() {
server.makeHTTPRequest(...);
}).start();
But we cannot do this, as there is one more constraint with our application, that it has to behave like single-threaded from user's perspective. i.e. If user has clicked "File/Open" menu, user has to wait until the "File/Open" action is completed. He cannot do anything in between.
But if the server sends some message thru the other socket, then it has to displayed, and whatever user select on that dialog box, has to be sent to the server thry the same socket.
I'm not sure whether this possible.
Here is what I tried to make the http request in a separate thread, and at the same time, keeping the main thread in a wait state until the thread completes:
new Thread (new Runnable() {
public void run() {
synchronized(server) {
server.makeHTTPRequest(...);
server.notify();
}).start();
synchronized(server) {
server.wait();
Even by doing the above it doesn't work, the GUI just hangs. I think the above code is effectively the same as,invoking directly,
server.makeHTTPRequest(...);
All I know is it's quite confusing. Does anyone has insight into it.
thanks,
Ajay

Hel with modifying cs5/6 script...create anchored frames from text

hello
I have one great time saver script for cs5 for create anchored frames from text tagged with/or charachter style/paragraph style. This work in cs6 but have some "bugs" for me. Script need to be compatible with InDesign CS6.
1. script in original (look bellow) create text frame which is fitted to lenght of the text. I make change and change 466 line:
AnchoredTextFrame.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);
now frame is wide as I write in check box, good. But frame not resize to lenght of the text so I add after above lines 466-470:
 var FO = FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT,
 tfs = ([]).concat.apply([], app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().textContainers),
 t, i = tfs.length;
while( i-- ) (t=tfs[i]).overflows && ( t.locked || t.fit(FO) );
now all is ok but is here better way to make this to work? Simply, i want to spec text frame width in dialog box, frame will resize only verticaly in direction to amount text in frame. I dont want any overset text.
2. One "bug". For some reason script alter paragraph style of other text which is not subject to be cutted in anchored frame.
How to resolve this?

 Automating anchored object creation
 Version: 2
 Script by Thomas Silkjær
 http://indesigning.net/
Модификация Б. Кащеев, www.adobeindesign.ru
Скрипт предназначен для создания привязанных фреймов из текста, отформатированного
каким-либо абзацным или символьным стилем. Эти стили задаются пользователем в диалоговом
окне скрита. Там же необходимо задать объектный стиль для привязанного фрейма, в котором
пользователь должен заранее задать оформление и параметры привязки. Далее необходимо
указать ширину привязанного фрейма, а его высота будет рассчитана автоматически исходя из
объема текста. При вводе дробных значений ширины привязанного фрейма в качестве
разделителя целой и дробной части следует использовать не запятую, а точку, следуя западным
стандартам разработчиков программы Adobe InDesign. Первоначально идея и скрипт по созданию
привязанных фреймов принадлежит Thomas Silkjær для версии ID CS4. C появлением версий CS5
и CS5.5 скрипт перестал в них выполняться, да и в версии CS4 не всегда корректно работал.
Анализируя недочеты скрипта в данной его версии были исправлены ошибки и внесены
функциональные дополнения исходя из понимания задачи автором модификации. Добавлена
возможность выбора стилей, если они они находятся в группах (папках), возможность выбора
единиц измерения из выпадающего списка, изменены GREP-выражения для поиска текста,
область действия скрипта ограничена материалом (Story), а не документом.

Hi Cari,
I did create a new user account (admin level) and InDesign works like a charm.
When I went back to the other account, plug-ins gone, I deleted the prefs and caches, restarted and still everything is crashing as before.
At least I am working on one account and I will contiue to troubleshoot on the other account. And at some point either the new account will crash or the old account will work and I will go from there.
Thanks for the info about Mac remembering info. Always trying to be helpful these Macs.
And thanks for getting at least into a workable space!!! I am supremely grateful!

This is how you extract frames from video

right then, in answer to many posts about how to get the individual frames from video, here is my solution. it seems to work with mpg files but it doesnt seem to work with any of the avi files i tried. not sure why it doesnt work with those. i have modified javas frame access.
nothing is displayed except it prints which frame it is doing.
if anyone wants to improve it, please do. i still dont understand fully how it works so i probably wont be able to answer many questions about it. anyway here it is:

The quality of the produced video from this example is very poor.
It comes to huuuuge surprise the following fact.
If you comment the line where you set the PostAccessCodec, the chain of the codecs is:
MPEG-1 decoder -> YUV2RGB -> Direct Draw Renderer. ( The one used from the system to decode and render)
If you run the example purely as is above you get the following sequence(as long with the poor quality):
MPEG-1 decoder -> YUV2RGB -> Windows GDI Renderer.
So you say lets set another Renderer. So
you add the following line videoTracker.setRenderer( new DDRenderer() )
What comes to a surprise is the following chain of codecs:
MPEG-1 decoder -> YUV2RGB -> Post Codec -> Java RGB Converter - > DDRenderer
The quality now may be perfect but video runs to slow. The surprising thing here is that even though we have set the outputFormat of the PostAccessFrame codec to RGBFormat the system converts it again to RGB through codec Java RGB Format.
After searching a lot and reaching the conclusion that the deference between the 2 RGB's is their sizes I sudently was brought in front of a method called grabFrame(). Bels started ringing inside my head. Starts were comming up. Looking at the definition of the class com.sun.media.renderer.video.DDRenderer I descovered that this damn class implements the FrameGrabbingControl Interface. What the f.....? The problem that consumed 4 days of my life and multiplied with 10 to give hours has finally come to an and.
Summing up the solution for grabbing frames is this!!!!!
DDRenderer renderer = new DDRenderer();
videoTrack.setRenderer( renderer );
and in your actionPerformed implementation
FrameGrabbingControl fr = (FrameGrabbingControl)renderer.getControl( "javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl");
Buffer frame = fr.grabFrame();
The following stuff ...are stated in FrameAccess

How can I run a BW Function from EXCEL-IN-PLACE (BPS)??? Please give any ex

How can I run a BW Function from EXCEL-IN-PLACE (BPS)using VBA??? Please give any example.
I would like to run my function module ZMY from EXCEL-IN-PLACE using VBA and get a result.

if you are using excel in place in the web application environment I doubt you can, you've never really had any macro functionalty there.
If you are in the gui environemnt (Planning folders) it will depend on how you want to invoke the module...

How to call a j-frame from a main frame

I use both NetBean 5.5 and Forte for Java4
i would like to know how to call a j-frame from a main jframe window when a button is clicked after
action performed or moused clicked is set
i.e Main jframe (window) has a button ---> (grades) click it
should open the sub-jframe named grades with all the grades showin in that frame
your help please thanks

It sounds as if you want the button to open a dialog that displays your data such as a JOptionPane and not a JFrame.

How do I create a series of text frames from a list of files?

And I'm back again.
This time, I'm wondering how I can use JavaScript to place a series of text frames from a list of files, preferably with the ability to specify criteria before running the script.
Here's the details: I work for a newspaper and I lay out stories for the pages (in addition to the other part of my job, laying out ad spaces, as detailed in a previous thread, for which I requested another script, thanks Andreas and Jongware ). The file names for the stories are labeled for the section they go in, like L- for Life, C- for Comment, S- for Sports, etc.
I'd like to create a script that asks for a criteria in a text box (where I can type L-, C-, S- or whatever else I need) and then places all of the stories, in a specified directory, whose file names match what was typed in the box, one text frame for each.
I can't rightly tell if this is a simpler or more difficult script to write out, but I plan on putting research into it as usual so I can develop it myself. However, I figured it would be more efficient to ask first, then research, so that while I'm researching, I can refer to the opinions of my fellow forumites, and/or the mods.
Thanks again for any assistance offered.

Why I can't export a single frame from my composition?

I try to export a single frame from the cavas but motion just did nothing when I click on export. Is there something wrong with my motion setup? I have trashed the motion's plist couple times already but still having the same issue. I can't even save the project. When click on save, motion did nothing, just like export. HELP!

I see that you are on an intel mac. Are you running the universal versions (Final Cut Studio 5.1 w/ Motion 2.1)?
See this article for troubleshooting steps: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302596.
When I am having major issues like this, I just start over from scratch. Do a complete erase and install with the OS discs, reinstall all applications and update everything with software update. I keep a separate partition just for film and video work that I can blow away any time (I don't store any important files on it).

EA2: bug in package run/debug dialog

The PL/SQL block is not (re)generated correctly when switching between implementations of an overloaded func/proc:
Whenever you run/debug a package from sql developer a dialog box is opened in which you can select a TARGET (any of the public function/procedures for the package).
A pl/sql block to execute the the selected TARGET is then dynamically generated.
If you have an overload procedure it is presented as
FUNC1(1)
FUNC1(2)
FUNC2
FUNC3
If you switch between 2 overloads, the parameters to the left actually changes correctly. So it does notice the change
However the PL/SQL below is unchanged. The variables are still valid for FUNC(1) instead of FUNC(2)
Edited by: apodictus on Dec 11, 2010 10:08 PM

I already noticed the bug is probably a bit more delicate then originally stated.
I extended the original overload procedure for which I found the bug with a few more formal parameters.
To my surprise after that alteration, the PL/SQL block was suddenly generated correctly.
Might have been an initial invocation then...

Is it possible to run my iTunes solely from an external drive?

I'm a college student and don't have my own computer anymore, and I currently use campus computers and library computers (No admin priviledges).
I currently have all my previous iTunes music backed up on my external drive, and I have the iTunes package (The install package you download from Apple) also on there as well.
I'm basically wondering if I can install iTunes onto my external drive, open it from there, and also be able to access my music from there as well?
To give more clarification, I want to be able to go to a college or library computer (These computers are running on Windows XP or 7), be able to open iTunes from my external drive, and be able to manage and use my library from there.
With college and library computers, you don't have the admin rights to install iTunes. However, I do have friends that will let me use their computer to install iTunes onto my external drive (If that is possible). So not being able to install iTunes because of lack of admin priviledges is a barrier I can get through.
How ever I don't know if it's possible to run, and open iTunes from an external drive, and be able to open and use my iTunes library from there.
And help would be great.
Thanks in advance!

how would I go about putting my iTunes library on an external drive?
It depends on where your library is now and how it's organized. If you have all your content and library files in a single iTunes folder, drag the entire iTunes folder (the _entire_ folder, _not_ just the iTunes Music folder) to your desired location. Then hold down the Shift key while launching iTunes. You'll be given a dialog box where you can select the iTunes library you want to use. Navigate to and select the iTunes folder in it's new location. Note that this procedure assumes that all of your tracks are contained in the iTunes Music folder. If they're scattered around your volumes, moving them becomes much more complex. Don't delete the tracks from the old location until you've confirmed that they're working correctly from the external drive
Also is it possible to get past administrator rights, to install iTunes and delete iTunes each time I use a computer that I don't have administrator rights to? That way I can still use iTunes.
No, it's not possible. As with most applications, you need administrator rights to install iTunes.
Regards.

Disp+work.exe - Running but dialog queue statistics unavailable

Hi,
We have two diferent instances in the same machine. One on them have disp+work.exe in yellow and show message "Running but dialog queue statistics unabailable". This is right, the queue statistics have no item to show, but I can login perfectly in sapgui and see the processes in tx sm50.
Where sapmmc read from? Instance profiles? Any other file?
Thanks for all.

Yes, problem solved.
I stopped windows instance service and overwrote the exe.
Thanks for all again
