SetNextFocusableComponent too easy to use - FocusTraversalPolicy

Hi,
I try to replace my good old setNextFocusableComponent function with the new mechanism of 1.4 FocusTraversalPolicy.
Unable to do it in 5 minutes, we also have to spend too much time to understand how it runs.
I have a very simple case (i think). A panel with several component. I use a GridBagLayout for that JPanel. I put several component to that panel and i would like to scroll in a defined order. Not the default which is Horizontal based but well a custom order. With setNextFocusableComponent it was easy. Now???????? I am fed of this. Keep it simple simple and simple.

if you don't decide to go with qt, etc.
i'd recommend going pure gtk, instead of wxwidgets (unless it exposes the necessary interfaces)
i'm sure you don't specifically need a mdi in the strict sense
so you should be able to get by with simulating it
see: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stab … indow.html
esp: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stab … skbar-hint
       http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stab … nsient-for
ot, ps @ general public: if you think the gimp's interface is horrible and prolly own't use it
  cos it's annoying to be switching the dialogs via the taskbar,
  it's clear you haven't actually used gimp since the days of old (circa 2.2 i believe)
  2.4+ definately had some trancient window support (default in 2.5), '<> Edit > Window Management'

  • Too Easy to delete a book's content in Book Module?

    Is anyone else finding it too easy to delete -- by accident -- the content or layouts of a book you have been working on in the Book Module?  It has happened to me once and I am now very unsure of how to keep it from happening again.  I have begun making copies of the book as I progress -- which can be useful for other purposes, but doesn't answer the question of if there might be a better way for the book module to work in this respect.
    Don't get me wrong -- I love the book module already and it is worth the price of the upgrade just for that.  But I want it to be perfect!
    P

    I suspect it said all the folders would be recreated, not the files. Once you have imported, you must delete in RoboHelp in the same way as any other topic. Otherwise how does the database it maintains know what you are doing?
    If the book is going to change again, maybe linking would be a better option.

  • Looking for good easy to use inexpensive tuner

    Hi,
    I am looking for a good, easy to use, inexpensive tuner. Not one you use in a rack or on a pedal, but one you use on the computer. I looked and there are a ton out there so I figured I would look for recommendations here.
    I do not like the way GBs works. It fluctuates too much as the note decays and drives me nuts. I want a simple one, that works great. (If it has a feature that helps in tuning a 12 string, than thats a plus, but not a deal breaker). Simple and accurate is most important.
    Lastly I noticed some they sell are AU and some are stand alone. Is one better than the other?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Strangedogs,
    Thanks for the link but if you read the review of it on the site, it is terrible. The users on VT hated it. It got 1 star out of 5. I was looking for a recommendation of one that someone has actually "used" themselves and likes it from experience using it.
    There was a link that someone posted there for a free tuner from emagic that they said is great, but all the links I found with google run to a dead end unfortunately.
    Paul
    BTW: boy do those 12 strings take forever to tune. I was jamming with a friend over new years weekend and it took him forever to tune up, (and he has an excellent ear).

  • How hard is it to use javascript to show/hide fields. Is it easier to use the action builder?

    I know nothing about javascript and all that ive been using so far has been stuff ive found on here (thank you everyone).
    Using the action builder seems like its gonna be very tedious to do since i have so many subforms that hide, would it be esier to use javascript?

    I know nothing about javascript myself but I just created a form with about 10 different subform that show or hide depending on what the user chooses from a drop down list and I used Action Builder. If we don't know javascript, how can we use it? But Action Builder did a fine job of hiding/showing wherever I needed it. And Action Builder can do more than one thing by clicking that + sign when you are building an action.
    For instance, I needed to place a button in each subform that would close both the field that the person was working in and also the subform on the next page where the information was going into floating fields in a text block that was only visible thru a drop down list text select. I could have never figured out how to do that based on my knowledge of javascript. Thank Adobe for including Action Builder in this version of LiveCycle and I use it all the time. I find it extremely easy to use but it takes a little mental training to think thru the steps of how you can use the menu in Action Builder to make your form do what you need it to do.
    And if all else fails, ask this forum. I struggle for just so long before I come here and ask for help. I always get the answer I need. I hope you will too.
    Good luck,
    Jeanette

  • WOW, Presets  ... easy to use

    I am curious to know what other's thing of this set of presets by Jack Davis? (sorry, if this has already been posted)
    I did not find this (someone gave it to me, I am passing it on) ... I am using it and was impressed at how easy to use,understand, and well thought out this set of presets are.
    Just looking at the list. and how it is organized made sense to me. And was able to be productive with it "very" quickly (and isn't that what LR is all about ... being more productive, fast)
    The nice thing is because of the way it is organized, AND it encourages ME to "build my own" pre-sets easily (that work) .
    And for me there was a little side benifit ... by watching the changes in the presets that worked for me ... I learned just a little more about LR ... and how to get the changes I want to do.
    (got "schooled" on toning in LR just by playing with these presets)
    I am still learning ... but this just made me go up a notch.
    fyi: is FREE ... how cool is that!
    http://www.ononesoftware.com/photopresets-wow.php
    Hope this helps others (that are just a little lost in LR) and needs that boost to get LR to be productive fast.
    HG

    John,
    GREAT Tip on the preset folders ... I am "going" to do that ... NOW!
    My list was getting too long and hard to navigate.
    You are right I should spend more time learning how to use Develop ... but, there is always a few things to be learn't "quickly" thru old practice of reverse enginering.
    Not trying to invent or re-invent the wheel ... just want it to roll quickly ... for now ...
    * I like your idea of applied "child presets" that's one for the suggestion box.
    Because it is also, a good way to see, what you are applying. and easier to mix and match (using click and drag (wow, that might be too much fun)
    Yes, I have the insidelightroom one's too ...
    BUT, what I loved about this one ... "as a SET of pre-sets" it really showed me the "WAY", as far as organizing them, and using them.
    imho, the power of that list, the way it was done was not only the naming convention & order it was in ... but also the way it has RESETS right on the list at the top of each section. So, you can stay on the list and reset just a part of the total adjustments.
    What the list reveals to me ... is HOW a set of presets can be done so it is MORE user freindly. imho, all Groups of presets s/b organized this way & in a separate Folder (I think this is the first group of pre-sets I have seen done this way)
    AND, the way LR should have organized there pre-sets. Starting with aLR- and in there own folder :)
    * It's the little things ....
    Ease of use "counts" imho, even for presets ...
    note:WinXP does not make things faster, but we buy faster computers for that ease of use.
    SCSI is faster, but I don't use it anymore. not even for RAID.
    Just my thoughts HG

  • Keyword Handling Needs Improvement - Too Easy To Create A Mess That's Too Hard To Clean Up

    Presently, its easy to assign keywords and use them (other than  "improper" handling of spaces I mean), - almost too easy. - easy to  create a keyword mess.
    Although I'm sure I haven't  given anywhere near as much thought to the subject as some people have,  here are my first thoughts at some features that would help:
    - Proper handling of space character:
      - Presently its used as a legal keyword character and a keyword delimiter - this just needs to be fixed!
    - Detection of first use:
    Presently,  if I enter 'Robb Cole', I don't want a new keyword to be added, since I  already have 'Rob Cole' - I would always like to be warned the first  time a keyword is added, and given the opportunity to make a different choice or go ahead and add.
    - Detection of duplicate:
    If I enter 'Rob Cole', but I already have 'People/Rob Cole', I don't want a new keyword added, I want to be warned.
    - Detection of similarities:
    This  is big topic, and includes handling of plurals and mispellings. I  suspect there is some standard conventions for dealing with plurals, and  I don't know what they are. But, if I enter Complection and that's not  in the "dictionary", but Completion and Complexion are, I'd like to be  notified and offered a list of choices, bringing me to my next idea:  Dictionaries...
    - Detection of synonyms: If I enter a keyword that's already a synonym of another keyword, I usually don't want to create a new keyword.
    - Dictionaries: Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I import "Controlled  Vocabulary" all the keywords will just be mixed in with whatever already  exists. Likewise if I import photos from some other photographer, I now  have their keywording paradigm all mixed in too. I'd like to have a Personal dictionary, and a "Controlled Vocabulary dictionary, and "From Imported Photos" dictionaries... And, I'd like to be able to set a preferred dictionary, such that when entering a keyword that's not in the preferred dictionary, I would be offered an opportunity to consolidate, or create a new dictionary, or add to existing dictionary...
    - Because keyword search engines differ in the way they handle plurals, I would think the ability to automatically add a plural, and maybe even common mispellings as synonyms would be helpful as well.
    - Better Tools for consolidation and re-organization would also be greatly beneficial and appreciated.
    I will no doubt think of other things, but this should be enough to kick off this thread.
    Rob

    I couldn't wait: Keyword Consolidator.

  • [Resolved with iDesk] Easy to use & setup icon display program

    On my desktop machine, I do some gaming and when I do that I use fluxbox as my WM so that my resources are not consumed by the DE or WM I'm running in the background.  I've recently figured out how to use some utilities to be used in conjunction with fluxbox, IE fme (a fluxbox menu editing utility) and mmenu (menu generator).  I'm still trying to get fluxter to work though.  As an aside, my thanks to AUR & the people who uploaded these programs.
    I realised not long ago that I'd like icons on my fluxbox desktop too, just so I don't have to go through menus when invariably I only end up using the same 2 or 3 programs in a session of gaming.  I acquired fbdesk but so far have had no luck in getting it to work properly.  I wondered at that point if others have made their fluxbox or openbox or other minimalist wm functional with icons.  If you have, would you please post which program(s) you used and perhaps give me an idea of whether it is easy to use or if it requires some amount of advanced scripting knowledge.
    Thank you

    I'd found iDesk and I apologise for not mentioning it in my first post.  I was hoping there might be another alternative I'd not found yet but if not, then I think I shall take your suggestion & use iDesk. 
    I'll mark this solved unless someone else comes along and posts about a program other than fbdesk iDesk.

  • Need easy to use comments form to post to webpage short-term

    I'm going to create a 90th birthday tribute webpage with photos etc about a former teacher. We have a past pupils (alumni) website for a now closed school. The average age of the people who visit is 55+ and have to keep it basic. I have created php forms to email for those who want to sign on to our database, label photos on the site etc. That's about all our audience can handle. The guestbook has captcha and it just confuses many users even though there are detailed instructions on how to post with photo guided tut as well!
    So I want to put a form under the BD greeting part where they can enter their greeting and hit submit and not bother with captcha. I don't want them to have to register which means they won't be able to edit their comments if there's mistakes.   I'm happy to monitor it daily to weed out any spam, or more likely-- posts with errors or duplicates as it's not going to be around that long.To let people know about the page, we will do a mailing and put the link to the page in the email inviting them to sign the card using the comments form.
    The idea is not to make the page public on the site's homepage until a day or two before his birthday which is in about 2 weeks. Then I plan to put an announcement on our homepage as he regularly visits the site and so it will be a surprise. Then he can visit the bd card page himself and see those who have posted their greetings, etc. Also, it will be there for anyone wants to add to the greetings and keep it open for another week. After that I will remove the form and tell people that if they want to add to the greeting, they can email us and we will post their greeting.
    Someone in our group said perhaps we should just ask for greetings to be sent back to us in the email sending the link and I put them on the site, but it sort of kills the participation factor...we like people to interact with our site. There are a few we know about who will have to have us do it for them because they are not online, but on our telephone list.
    Anyone have advice on how to make this really easy to use for the visitors??? Do I need to worry about script hijackers in this short time-frame?  Do I need to use Google webmaster tools to exclude it from the search engine?
    Thanks so much.... Lew in Bristol UK

    Look at Gentle Source's Comments script (they have front end and back end demos)
    http://www.gentlesource.com/comment-script/
    Do I need to worry about script hijackers in this short time-frame? 
    Any form processing script you run on your server needs to be secure.  Otherwise it's an open invitation to HACKERS and other threats that could compromise your server.  On shared hosting environments, many web hosts require you to use their scripts.  You may wish to ask your host which scripts they recommend.

  • Element name too long when using ROWTYPE

    I've come across an issue with xml element names longer than 30 characters. Seems it has something to do with ROWTYPE. Creation of this function is successful:
    <pre>
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_fnc
    RETURN XMLTYPE
    AS
    var_return XMLTYPE;
    l_dummy DUAL.dummy%TYPE;
    BEGIN
    SELECT dummy INTO l_dummy FROM DUAL;
    SELECT XMLCONCAT(XMLELEMENT (
    "TEST",
    XMLFOREST (
    l_dummy "THIS_IS_OVER_30_CHARACTERS_LONG"
    data_set
    INTO var_return
    FROM DUAL;
    RETURN var_return;
    END test_fnc;
    </pre>
    However, specifying the variable as ROWTYPE gives ORA-00972 error (unless I shorten the element name...):
    <pre>
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_fnc
    RETURN XMLTYPE
    AS
    var_return XMLTYPE;
    l_dummy DUAL%ROWTYPE;
    BEGIN
    SELECT dummy INTO l_dummy FROM DUAL;
    SELECT XMLCONCAT(XMLELEMENT (
    "TEST",
    XMLFOREST (
    l_dummy.dummy "THIS_IS_OVER_30_CHARACTERS_LONG"
    data_set
    INTO var_return
    FROM DUAL;
    RETURN var_return;
    END test_fnc;
    </pre>
    Has anyone come across this before, or have any ideas for a solution? I could specify all my variables as TYPE but as there are many within the tables it would be easier to use ROWTYPE.

    Hi,
    The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 or later - the latest version that is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12 is Camera Raw 8.5 as far as I can see.
    You need to either buy a new version of Photoshop Elements or use the free Adobe DNG converter.

  • Tutorial on: Easy to use custom scrollbars

    Hey everyone i seen a few discussions around that people need customscrollbars
    i have now gathered to must easy to use out of the box project
    It works down to IE6 and works in all device - nicescroll
    $(function() {                
       $("#thisdiv").niceScroll({ 
         cursorcolor:"#00F",      
         cursoropacitymin: 0.3    
    Do a ready function and then call nicescroll on your element inside
    remember to add the nicescroll lib
    which you can get here
    add it inside the head after jquery but before
    you call it so it could look like this
    <html>
    <head>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="your/path/jquery.nicescroll.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="your/path/jquery.main.js"></script>
    </head>

  • Problem with InDesign CC redrawing the screen too slow while using Zoom tool

    Hello. I got a problem with InDesign CC redrawing the screen too slow while using Zoom tool. Sometimes it takes more than a secong to zoom in or out. However InDesign CS6, Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC works just fine. What could be the problem, videocard or something else? Below is my PC configuration: OS Windows 8 Pro (x64); processor Intel Core i7 2600k CPU 3,40GHz; video adapter NVIDIA GeForse GTS 450; monitor NEC PA271W (2560x1440).

    Yes it’s a bug. The trick is to select the tool and then left click the photo information strip and hold for a few seconds until you see the windows bar at the top of the screen (not responding)
    The lasso tool should then work normally.
