Scroll pane issues

I hope someone can help. I have designed a site and on
certain pages there are scroll panes with jpgs. When I preview the
movie on my computer everything seems to work fine. When I upload
it to the server and look at the page the content that is supposed
to be in the scroll pane is all out of whack. Then I reload the
page and everything is fine. This only happens in Internet
Explorer. It works fine in Firefox. Please look at the site
www.gastropod.ca/new site/index2.html
This is occurring mostly in the food menu and drink menu.
Any help would be wickedly appreciated!!!!
Thanks in advance.

@sjmphoto0300: I have a Dell XPS 15 502X laptop (running Win 7 Home) and had the same scrolling issue as you in LR 3.6 when in the Library module only (the Develop module sidebar scrolling works fine). I could not scroll using my touchpad on the left or right pane unless my cursor was directly over either thin grey scroll bar or on the actual sidebar headings (e.g. "Catalog," "Folders," or "Quick Develop"). Mousing over the latter would only enable me to scroll until the cursor was no longer over the heading which was pretty useless.
I have Synaptics TouchPad v7.4 installed. While I don't have an option in my Mouse properties to specify certain programs that don't scroll properly as mentioned in another post, I did find a solution that works for me!
I had to do TWO things to get scrolling in the sidebars working properly:
1) In this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3888114#3888114) it was mentioned that the Synaptics scrolling graphic that appears (see screenshot below) interferes with scrolling and the scrolling graphic can be disabled with a registry tweak and then restart the Synaptics applications (2) or reboot.
2) Right-click an empty spot on the desktop and go to Personalize > Change Mouse Pointers > Device Settings (Synaptics logo on tab) > Settings. Click on Scrolling on the left of the Synaptics Properties window > Scroll item under pointer. Click Enable.
That got sidebar scrolling working without having to keep the cursor hovering above the skinny scrollbars. It seems like the Synaptics software doesn't recognize what area is always scrollable in Lightroom when "Scroll selected item" is selected.
Hope this helps someone else out there.

Mouse panning issues in Flipview

Hi,
I have a problem in mouse panning issues in WinJS Flipview control.
Here is my sample:
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=533F417A2E04AEC4!1009
My problem is: I can zoom images in flipview and panning, zooming or scrolling them via finger touch.
So, is there a simple way to enable mouse panning, scrolling?
I think it is useless to zoom if the user cannot drag image by mouse if there is no touch device.
Thanks so much.
Nick

I think adding MSGesture is a fine idea. What you're experiencing here is just a difference in the native workings of touch and mouse, so you have to manually compensate for these differences.
Because panning and pinch/zoom in touch mode give you behaviors that are not directly translatable to mouse actions, the mouse does not interpret similar actions unless you ask it do.
Panning with a finger is the most natural thing to expect for touchmode, but it does not directly translate into click and drag, and for that reason, mouse does not pan. However, you can just add the event so that you get the same behavior. It's
extra work, but you have to take into account that not all developers want the same behavior. For example, I expect that someone will say "I don't want to pan when I touch the screen, I want to draw a line, like I can with a mouse. How do
I disable this behavior?"
I hope this clears things up for you.

NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined

Scroll pane height

I need to set the height of a scroll pane to the sum of heights of all the child elements in it. i.e i have a scroll pane and the content of the scroll pane is vbox. The vbox has many elements in it. I want to set the scroll pane height to sum of the height of the individual cell items in it. Please let me know.
Thanks.

Should have said desirable not acceptable. The most desirable solution is to use standard layouts and components. But also very desirable is to not spend so much time on such a simple issue. So I have used the ScrollableFlowPanel and the static inner class was a simple drop in. The only thing I added was a call to the following to left align: setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEADING));Thanks for the help.

Pulling text from a .txt to a scroll pane or text area

Hi-
I'm sure there's a way to do this, but I'm not exactly fluent in ActionScript.
Basically, my whole website's going to be in Flash, but I want to be able to update one page (sort of a news/blog page) without having to edit the Flash file every time. I'm assuming the easiest way to do this would be to set up either a scroll pane or a text box and pull the text in from a .txt file (if there's a better way, please let me know). That way I could continue to add on to the .txt file, and Flash would always pull in the current version.
So, my issues are:
1. I have no idea where to start with the code for something like that. Is it a LoadVar? Do I physically put a scroll pane or a text area in the frame and put the action on that, or do I put the action on the frame and have it call up a text area component?
2. Will the text scroll automatically, or is that something else I would have to add in? I plan on adding to this text file for awhile, so it could end up being a lot of text over time.
3. Would I be able to format the text in the .txt at all? For instance, if I hit enter to put in a paragraph break, would that register once it's pulled into Flash, or would I have to put in an html paragraph break or something? That may be a dumb question, but as I said, I'm not exactly fluent in ActionScript (or any other programming language for that matter).
Any help is definitely appreciated!
Thanks!

I recommend you use an xml file rather than a text file for storing your content. The main reason being that it tends to make thing more easily organizable, as well as easier to differentiate things like titles, contents, links, images, etc.
You could start off using a TextArea component if you want, just to keep things simple. If you want to format things you can use the htmlText property rather than the text proiperty when assigning your content. That will allow you more control of the presentation.
If you want to take the xml approach, you should search Google for "AS# XML tutorial" where you substitute whatever version you plan to use for the "#". If you plan to use AS3, there is a good tutorial here: http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play?id=64

New to Applets: Problems wiht writing to files and with scroll panes.

Hi, I've recently graduated from university and so I have limited experience in java programming and I'm having some trouble with JApplets (this is the first time I've made one). I'm trying to make a simple program that will allow users to pick one of a few background images from a list (a list of jpanels within a scroll pane) then at the click of a button will output a CSS with the background tag set to the image location. This is for use on a microsoft sharepoint site where each user has a My-Sit area which I want to be customizable.
So far I've been creating this program as an application rather than a JApplet and just having another class that extends the JApplet Class which then displays the JFrame from the GUI Class. This initially didnt work because I was trying to add a window to a container so I kept programming it as an application until I got it working before trying to convert it to a JApplet. I solved the previous problem by changing my GUI class to extend JPanel instead of JFrame and it now displays correctly but with a coupe of issues.
Firstly the applet will not create/write to the CSS file. I read that applets couldnt read/write to the users file system but they could to their own. The file I wish to write to is kept on the same machine as the applet so I'm not sure why this isn't working.
Secondly the scroll panel is no longer working properly. This worked fine when I was still running the program as an application when the GUI still extended JFrame instead of JPanel (incidentally the program no longer runs as an application in this state) but now the scroll bar does not appear. This is a problem since I want the applet to remain the same size on the page even if I decide to add more backgrounds to the list. I tried setting the applet height/width to smaller values in the html file to see if the scroll bar would appear if the area was smaller than the GUI should be, but this just meant the bottom off the applet was cut off.
Could anyone offer any suggestion as to why these thigns arnt working and how to fix them? If necessary I can post my source code here. Thanks in advance.

Ok, well my program is made up of 4 classes, I hope this isnt too much to be posting. If any explaination is needed then I'll post that next. Theres lots of print lines scattered aroudn due to me trying to fix this and theres some stuff commented out from when the program used to be an application isntead of an applet.

            backgroundJP.setName(backgroundURL);
            //Add the JP to the Array List
            backgroundsList.add(backgroundJP);
        //TESTING
        System.out.println("\n\nTESTING: populateBackgroundsList()");
        j = backgroundsList.size();
        for(int i = 0; i < j; i++){
            System.out.println("Index " + i + " = " + backgroundsList.get(i));
        System.out.println("\n\n");
}So thats my program so far, if theres anythign that needs clarifying then please jsut ask. Thank you very much for the help!

Remove/Hide scroll bars in scroll panes.

Hi all,
I am pretty new to action script. I am building a photo gallery and I am loading the thumbnails from an XML file into a scroll pane dynamically. As the scroll pane fills up, it gets wider to accomodate the thumbnails. There is one row, and eventually, I want to have the user be able to mouse left or right and have the scroll pane scroll, versus clicking on the bar or the left/right arrows. However, in order to accomplish this, I need the scroll bars to disappear!
Is there anyway to either remove or hide both the x and y scroll bars on a scroll pane? My scroll pane is called: thumbPane.
Thanks in advance!

IS IT POSSIBLE TO ADD A SCROLL PANE TO A PANEL??

Hi, Im trying to add a scroll pane to a panel but when I compile the code and try to open the form - a 'Illegal Argument Exception' is produced. Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to add a scroll pane the actual panel itself and also the code to do this.
Many Thanks, Karl.
I have added some sample code I have created -
public RequestForm(RequestList inC)throws SQLException{
          inRequestList = inC;
          displayForm();
          displayFields();
          displayButtons();
          getContentPane().add(panel);
          setVisible(true);
     public void displayForm() throws SQLException{
          setTitle("Request Form");
          setSize(600,740);
          // Center the frame
          Dimension dim = getToolkit().getScreenSize();
          setLocation(dim.width/2-getWidth()/2, dim.height/2-getHeight()/2);
          getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
          Border etched = BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder();
          panel = new JPanel();
          panel.setLayout( null );
          //panel.setBackground(new Color(1,90,50));
          Border paneltitled = BorderFactory.createTitledBorder(etched,"");
          panel.setBorder(paneltitled);
          scrollPane1 = new JScrollPane(panel);
          scrollPane1.setBounds(0, 0, 600, 740);
          panel.add(scrollPane1);
}

Hi all,
I am still having trouble here. would it be posible to add a scrollpanel to this form? Can anyone provide me with a working piece of code so I see how it actually works.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

     JLabel amortBox = new JLabel("Amortiaztion Table");
     JScrollPane amortScroll = new JScrollPane(amortBox);The argument passed to a JScrollPane constructor specifies what's inside the scroll pane. Here, it seems like you're trying to create a scroll pane that displays a JLabel.
Also, I'm not sure what you're trying to do here:
amortScroll(showAmort);I don't see a method named "amortScroll".
You need to make a JTextArea, pass that into the JScrollPane's constructor, and add the JScrollPane to your frame.

Dynamic content in scroll pane component

As far as I can see, the contentPath for a scroll pane
component can only point to a movie clip in the library, not to an
instance on stage. Does this mean that the content can only be
something created during authoring with no possibility of modifying
it in Actionscript?

No, I had no reply and eventually wrote my own scroll pane
solution which allows me to directly modify the pane's content with
ActionScript and update the scroll bar to reflect any change in the
content's size. I'm puzzled by the help file's example in
ScrollPane.refreshPane() because it describes a senario where:
"for example, you've loaded a form into a scroll pane and an
input property (for example, a text field) has been changed by
ActionScript. In this case, you would call refreshPane() to reload
the same form with the new values for the input properties."
Which implies that you can use ActionScript to change the
content then reload it. The help file on ScrollPane.contentPath is
not very clear about what content can be used but appears to say
that the only content types allowed are: a SWF or JPEG loaded via
its URL or a symbol in the current library. I don't see how you
could use ActionScript to change any of these. I've tried
specifying an on-stage instance as the content but that
fails.

Specifying text font in a scroll pane

Below is a fragment of code that attempts to display text in a scroll pane. Basically this works OK, except for the following:
1. Changing the font doesn't seem to make any difference. I tried "Arial", as shown, and "Curier", the display looks identical in both cases.
2. Multiple blank spaces are replaced by a single blank space. So that "Baa baa" is displayed as "Baa baa".
I would like to be able to display messages with many lines of text in a scroll pane preserving the format if possible, which relies on the blank spaces. I hope you can suggest how to do this better.
Thans for you help.
Miguel
    JLabel label = new JLabel(text);
    Font font = new Font("Arial",Font.PLAIN,12);
    label.setFont(font);
    JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(label);

try using a textArea instead of a label and include tabs for your multiple spaces.

          text3.setText(text);
          Font font = new Font("Courier",Font.PLAIN,12);
          text3.setFont(font);
          JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(text3);

Page shift due to vertical scroll bar issue

I'm working through a vertical scroll bar issue in my design, using a ProjectSeven CSS page template. When testing the site in my browsers (FF/Safari/IE/Opera), and IF the scroll bar is not present, the entire page shifts to the left (the width of the scroll bar) when I click a link in the left column of my design. The page does not shift when the vertical scroll bar is present. Support at P7 suggested the following fix:
html, body {
height: 100.1%;
margin: 0 0 1px;
I've tried placing this markup in about ten different places but can't seem to find the right location in the code. Is it possible for someone in the forum to take a look at my page source and show me where/how to locate this fix?
See my test site at:
http://www.murcal.com/test_curvi_2.html
Thanks . . . .

PZ,
I'd like to place the fix where you've suggested, but that's the whole issue.
I simply don't know where my CSS ends (duh). Is it possible that you show me exactly where?
Hopefully this is the right section of my code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

</head>
<body>
I've tried placing it in about ten different places, but I'm wrong everytime.
Obviously, I'm a beginner trying to learn. I just can't seem to place it correctly.

Scroll pane color for xp look and feel

hi
I am using the xp look and feel for my intranet application. Everything looks great, except for the colors of the scroll pane (added in a table) which still remains brown. I have tried setting the colors of the scroll pane, but nothing seems to work. Where is it that i am going wrong?
Thanks

Use this
table.getParent().setBackground(Color.BLUE);

How to scroll at the bottom using scroll pane

i am having a label in which i have added a scroll pane. dynamically i will add some text to the label. the scroll bar should move to the buttom after addition of text so that the new text added should be visible.
please provide me a solution.

Swap from using a JLabel to a JTextArea, then use below to set position viewed. (do this after each time you enter any text)
yourJTextArea.setCaretPosition(yourJTextArea.getText().length());
