Searching a calendar swing component

Hello friends.
I'm looking for a calendar swing component, to make a schedule aplication (like Outlook).
I found "Mig Java Calendar" (http://www.migcalendar.com/index.php) but it isn't free, i need one like this free.
Do you know someone free?
Thank you.

And if you think, as I do, that a date picker is
standard component and should be part of the jdk,

Support for Multilingual Numeral Input in JTextField swing component

When the User Locale is changed from the regional & language options in the control panel and the standard digits are customized to a non Latin character set, all the windows applications adhere to the changes made. HTML also respects the changes in effect and displays any numeric values using the new character set, which are the national digits for many Eastern Locales such as Chinese, Arabic(Saudi Arabia), Urdu and many more. The JTextField swing component given by java, however, does not show any support to the new settings. Any numeric input is displayed in the Latin character set even when the input locale of the system is also changed respectively. Any text input for this case is correctly displayed in the desired literals and appropriate glyphs. However, unlike the AWT components, numeral input and display is not catered as per the user/developer's requirements. This behavior was first noticed in 2007, as far as i have found out, and was reported once again on the same thread in 2010. The thread is given below as a reference. No action or response has been taken. Kindly look into this matter and please let me know if this bug has been reported before and if there is any intent of providing a fix for it.

Swing component's opaque property

Recenetly I read an article about "Painting in AWT and Swing" and feel confused about some points in the article.
http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/painting/index.html
The article mentioned several Swing Painting Guidelines, I have question about the following two paragraphs:
6. If a Swing component's opaque property is set to true, then it is agreeing to paint all of the bits contained within its bounds (this includes clearing it's own background within paintComponent()), otherwise screen garbage may result.
7. Setting either the opaque or optimizedDrawingEnabled properties to false on a component will cause more processing on each paint operation, therefore we recommend judicious use of both transparency and overlapping components.
For the No.7, it's said setting the opaque to false will cause more process on each paint operation, I think it should changed to ture, since if set opaque property to true, it will paint all the bits contained within bounds as described in No.6.
So is this an error? What on earth is efficient for the opaque property value?
Thanks!

For the No.7, it's said setting the opaque to false will cause more process on each paint operationWhen you create an application you do something like this:
create a frame
add a panel to the frame
add a component to the panel. (lets say a JButton)
When you click on a button you need to change the state of the button to look 'pressed'. So you need to repaint area on the screen where the button is painted.
If the button is opaque(true) then you simply paint the button in its new state because the button is responsible for painting its background and any custom painting.
if the button is opaque(false) then you don't paint the background which means you need to search for the parent of the button (in our example the panel). Once you find the parent you need to paint that area of the panel that the button overlays and then you do the custom painting of the button.
So either way you have to repaint the same area. Hopefully it makes sense that painting a single component would be more efficient than painting parts of two separate components and determining which two components to repaint and what area to repaint of each component.

Hotel Menu Like Swing Component

Hi , I need a swing component which has the functionality as below
Initially, its looks like this
# Beverages
# Starters
# MainCourse
# Deserts
When the user clicks on > it should expand that menu item and show the individual items along with their icons.
# Beverages
       icon1 Tea
       icon2 Ice Tea
       icon3 Soft drink
# Starters
# MainCourse
# Deserts
Is there any readily available swing component which I can use for this behavior ?
It is ok even the swing component misses out expand functionality when the "#" is clicked.

But how can I set the icons to what I need ? Read the tutorial!!!
There is no way you could have read the tutorial and understand how a JTree works in 10 minutes.
So do some work on you own. Read the tutorial. Search the forum for examples.
We've pointed you in the right direction so do some learning on your own.

Help me to search on calendar for more than one year

I desparately need to be able to search on calendar for more than one year., which was taken away on the new operating system. I have kept personal memories of my husband on there in the notes sections on days when we did things. ( I have also kept all kinds of personal notes, like doctor records or conversations, in the notes of events/dates.) it is a huge loss for me not to be able to search my calendar for more than one year. Is there any way I can do this?

When searching the calendar in list view, appointments erlier than a few years could not be found after search. en appointment from 1974 could not be found although it appears in the list.

When searching the calendar in list view, en appointmet erlier than a few years could not be find although the appointmet is listed in the List wiew ???,
An appointment from 1974 could not be found, in SEARCH MODE, although it appears in the calendar.

Pardon me for a moment while I (politely) rant in your general direction...
This type of response is not just unhelpful—it is the antithesis of helpful.
This is a support forum. Its purpose is helping to resolve people's problems. Sometimes those problems are going to require long explanations or lots of information. That either comes out in the original post or over the course of several back-and-forth replies; the former produces long posts but takes less time overall than the latter.
If you don't have the patience to read through a long post, then just move on. Posting a "too long, didn't read" comment adds nothing beneficial to anyone. All it does is reveal that the person who made that comment thinks it's important to tell everyone that their attention span is too short for anything longer than a tweet.
Yes, my post was long. Had you read it, you might have understood why it's so long. I'm trying to provide information that people searching these forums about this problem might find helpful. I did this because when I searched for info on this problem, I found lots of people with a similar problem, but no answers that went beyond "restore from backup". Since that advice wasn't the solution for me, I decided that more information might prompt someone with more knowledge and access than I have to investigate. Since you couldn't be bothered to read it, you clearly aren't the kind of person whose attention I was hoping to catch.
Certainly I could have made the post shorter, but I think putting it into a narrative like this makes it easier to follow and provides a context that a terse recitation of bare facts does not. If you disagree, that's your prerogative, but please don't waste everyone else's time by posting a comment just to say that you didn't read it.
I find it appalling that someone who's able to reach Level 6 on these support forums would post a "tldr" comment. That does not reflect positively on you or these forums.
End of rant.

Help-using document as a java swing component

Hi,
can i use a document excel file or a doc file as a swing component.
i have few templates in in excel and .doc format.
i use them to produce bills by just entering data.
Now i want to develop a swing application and use the same templates in jpanel or jtextpane or jeditorpane.
its very hectic to make templates in swing using tables and all.
is there any api which can help me out???
thanks

as a Swing component? No.
There's probably libraries for reading those types of files, and maybe displaying them. POI, perhaps?

Swing component's margin in a frame

Hello all,
When you set the bounds of a Swing component in a frame, it will automatically apply those bounds to the VISIBLE part of the frame, so that, a Y value of 0, for example, will not be at the very top of the frame, but right underneath the title bar of the frame. If you give a regular AWT a value of 0 to it's Y coordinate, part (or all) of it will be covered by the title bar of the frame. This does not happen with Swing components, which automatically add the height of the title bar to the value you give to their Y coordinate.
Now, what I want to know is, how can I retrieve the value of that "automatic margin"?. How can I know the number of pixels that the Swing component is being slided down, in order to save the title bar of the frame? This value can not be constant, since it will differ from one platform to another, and from one Look 'n Feel to another, but I have not been able to find out the way to get the value that it's being applied in each case.
As allways, many thanks in advance for your help.

Don't know if there is any direct way to get this information. But, assuming the border width/height is equal on all four sides you could try something like:
Dimension frameD = frame.getSize();
Dimension contentD = frame.getContentPane().getSize();
int borderWidth = frameD.width - contentD.width;
int titleHeight = frameD.height - contentD.height - borderWidth;

Pointers needed to create a JSP for week/hour calendar type component

Hi,
I am looking to get some pointers on how to create week/hour calendar type component in JSP.
My application is JSP/struts2 based web application. I need to create a web page where users will see a week hour calendar and for any time slot will enter some information. Each time slot can have different information. For example: Sunday 9:30am to 10:00am - Click on this cell and pop up a dialog for info and save it without refreshing the page. At the end combine all this info for each slot and submit to the server.
If there is already a component like this is available to use, please point me to that.
Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks,
Developer in need.

I dont know of an already existing application that can do this. However, here are some ideas on creating your own:
Create an html table in JSP who's number of rows and columns match what you would find in an ordinary wall calendar for the given month and year. Use the Calander.java class to obtain the number of days in the current month and build the JSP page accordingly (Calendar.java should automatically take care of leap year). You will probably need to add 'next' and 'previous' buttons to the form to retrieve the previous and next month(s) in case the user wants to access previous or future months. Each cell in the table displays that day (example ' 28 '). Notice my convention the first column is usually 'Sunday'.
Next, determine what to put in each cell. One suggestion is to embed a table in each cell with 48 rows (24 hours in a day, 1/2 hour resolution= =48), and two columns (first column is for time: example: "10:30am to 11:00am", the second column is for the user's appointment message).
Above that embedded table is the day (example: '28'). If a user has no information in the embedded table, the outer cell will appear to have nothing but the '28' in it.
Next, how to populate the cell. When the user clicks on the cell, have an onclick event call a javascript function. The function will pop up a new window (a child window) by calling 'window.open( )' (google 'window.open'). In the pop up, show a table with 48 rows, 2 columns that the user can type in a message within column 2. When the user clicks 'submit' button on the pop up, call a javascript onclick function that reads all the message cells. Any cell not empty will populate the corresponding cell (day, rowID, columnID) back on the parent window by calling something like this: window.opener.document.myFormName.myTextField.value = someValue
(google 'window.opener'). Once this is done, close the child window from that javascript function. By calling 'window.opener', you dont have to refresh the parent window.
Next, if the user clicks on the parent window cell that is already populated, you will have to pass all theexisting information for that day through the window.open( ) to the child window so the pop up child window will show that preexisting information (that way he can add to the cell or alter it as he pleases).
Next, after he alters many days on the calender, you have to provide an 'update' button on the parent form so the user saves his changes (write the data to a database record, with his name attached to that record). Note: if he clicks the previous/next button, he will lose any changes unless you also save the information before going to the previous/next page.
Next, you might want to provide a vertical scroll bar on the table cell if
the end user has many messages that cant be viewed in the parent cell all at once. Note each cell should be a fixed number of pixels width/height so it shows correctly. Have Fun!

How to set a Swing component as Modal window on a SWT Component.?

How to set a Swing component as Modal on a SWT Component.I mean, I have a window (SWT Container) with some menu items.
When I click on one menu item then i will get one new Swing Window.
When creating the new frame I had passed Modal value as TRUE in the constructer.Now child is not behaving as Modal Window.I mean I am able to go to parent window even though the child window is opened as a Modal Window.This is only happened when I double click on the Title Bar of the Parent Window.
If I try to click on any other part of the Parent Window except Title bar ... the child window is working as a Modal Window.
Can any one suggest me to solve this one !!

int this case, do this :
JFrame f = new JFrame("Authentification");
f.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
f.getContentPane().add(myJPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
f.setBounds(x,y,w,h);
f.setVisible(true);
Where myJPanel is the Panel you developped.

Searching iPhone calendar

Anyone know how to actually "search" the calendar on iPhone rather than simply scrolling through the list? I have mine synched with MS Outlook at my office and use this as a database as I have for several years on a Pocket PC. Only difference I've seen is that I can't seem to figure out how to look for something I've done in the past unless I know the specific date.

Hey heartking,
The iPhone Calendar application does not have a search feature.
There is a Software Developer Kit being released, I don't know if this is something that could come from that. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/iphoneroadmap/
You can leave feedback on the iPhone and request features online here:

Swing component for awt.canvas

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the equivalent SWING component for awt CANVAS. I need it because i need to display only Images (nothing else) on it. If anyone can tell how I can do it.

JPanel is the Swing-equivalent of java.awt.Canvas, but if you are just displaying images, you can use the JLabel class, which supports use of images as icons (see also ImageIcon class).

Swing component fires an event to non-GUI code

Hi all -- this is my first post in forums.sun.com.
Question to get me started -
I have a Swing component that fires an ActionEvent. I would like that ActionEvent to trigger code that does not run on the AWT Event Queue thread (some code that will take some time without impacting GUI rendering performance.)
I know I could put that Event's action command into a synchronized Queue, and have a worker thread checking the queue and taking action when it finds a command there. Likewise, I could flag a volatile boolean as true, and have a worker thread check the flag and take action when true.
Or (and I suspect this is best), I could create a new SwingWorker thread right in actionPerformed().
Any opinions on what makes sense?

pkwooster: Yep. That's what I meant.
As for the design pattern, Observer was the pattern I was intending to use (and have already implemented). Would anyone argue that another method is more efficient or "correct"?
My sample project is:
Business Object -> Main Dialog -> Embedded Dialog
The Main Dialog contains no business logic - just simple navigation events. The Embedded Dialog contains the real controls and reports any interaction using Swing events, which the Main Dialog picks up.
I then set up the Observer pattern between the Main Dialog and the Business Object.
