Setsize to full screen
Hi ,
I have created an application, I have used the setsize(200,300) method to create a new scratchpad.
Now I want tht the scratchpad shd be displayed in full screen and not in the width 200 * 300 .. wht command shd i use..
i had checked the forum but was not able to locate one ..
Hi, it is simple: the code above starts with the getContentPane() of your JFrame object, as it returns your Content Pane object you can access its properties by its own methods like the setBackground() which takes an java.awt.Color as an argument. If you have an reference to your main frame called for example MyFrame you should call something like this MyFrame.getContentPane().setBackground(java.awt.Color.red); Or if you have a custom class that extends the JFrame class you should just add somewhere in the constructor something like this.getContentPane().setBackground(java.awt.Color.red);Also you should have a look at this article :

How come full screen exclusive mode is so slow?
Hi. I am currently working on customer facing point-of-sale application. This application has a lot of animation going on and so needs quite speedy graphics performance. When I first investigated this it looked like I could do it in pure Java 2D which would be a lot easier than resorting to DirectX or OpenGL and mixing languages.
Unfortunately as the app has moved closer to functional complete the graphics performance appears to have deteriorated to the point where it is unusable. So I have gone back to the beginning and written a test program to identify the problem .
The tests I have done indicate that full screen exclusive mode runs about ten times slower than windowed mode. Which is mind boggling. Normally - say in DirectX - you would expect a full screen exclusive version of a games/graphics app to run a little bit quicker than a windowed version since it doesn't have to mess around with clip regions and moving vram pointers.
My test program creates a 32 bit image and blits it to the screen a variable number of times in both windowed and full screen mode. Edited results look like this:
iter wndw fscrn performance
10 16.0 298.0 1862% slower
20 47.0 610.0 1297% slower
30 94.0 923.0 981% slower
40 141.0 1205.0 854% slower
50 157.0 1486.0 946% slower
60 204.0 1877.0 920% slower
70 234.0 2127.0 908% slower
80 266.0 2425.0 911% slower
90 297.0 2722.0 916% slower
100 344.0 3253.0 945% slower
The results are substantially the same with the openGL hint turned on (although I don't have that option on the release hardware). I am assuming that the images end up as managed since they are created through BufferedImage and the system is running under 1.5.
Is there a way to get the full screen version running as fast as the windowed version?
Here's the test prog:

}Well I could do...
The problem is that I am compositing multiple layers of alpha transparent images. If I just render straight to the screen I get nasty flicker where I see glimpses of the background before the top layer(s) get rendered. So I would have to render to an offscreen buffer and then blit the assembled image into the screen. Even then there will be some tearing as you can never sync to the screen refresh in windowed mode.
And the thing is - there ought to be a 'proper' solution, g*dd*mm*t. Surely the core team didn't put together a solution that is ten times slower than it should be and then say 'What the heck, we'll release it anyway'.
I mean, if you can't believe in Sun engineering what can you believe in? -

Full Screen Window on second screen minimizes when windows explorer opens..
I did implement a full screen window on my second screen (it's a feature needed by my application)
When I open windows explorer (I'm on windows XP), or when I click in a windows explorer window, the second screen window is minimized, even if explorer pops in the first screen.
Is there any way to overcome this problem?
Any help would be appreciated...

}I suppose that you have this exception when the second window is initiated...
Excuse my remark, it may be perfectly stupid : do you have two screens? The full screen window is supposed to show itself on the user's second screen.
Or maybe the screens are not handled the same way on each computer? (I'm not used at developping applications working on two screens...)
thanks for your help

How to change a dialog box to its ' full-screen' mode ?
There is a dialog box in an application I am writting currently using swing.
The question is, how can I change it to ' full screen ' mode and switch it back to its normal mode ?To that purpose, you might make use of myDialog.setSize(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize());Hope this helps even though it is not 'true' full-screen. As far as I know, it's as close as you'll get.

Mouse Event Listeners with Full Screen JMF
I am trying to call the mouseClicked function from JMFs addMouseListner API in order to stop a media file when a user clicks the mouse button (or a key) like in a screensaver
I am able to access the function just before the player is started but once the media file begins to play I am not?
Here is the code I am using for the player and listener:
public static void main(String[] argv) {
JMF myFrame = new JMF("Java Media Framework Project");
myFrame.setUndecorated(true);
myFrame.show();
Dimension screenDim =Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
myFrame.setSize(screenDim.width, screenDim.height);
myFrame.setResizable(false);
myFrame.addMouseListener(
new MouseAdapter(){
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
System.out.println("Mouse was clicked");
System.exit(0);
myFrame.play();
Are there any other methods to get around this? Is it possible to embed a JMF application in a window that I can then monitor mouse events from??I passed the player object to a Listener class and I can get it to work ok with keyboard controls so Im sure the thread is not being blocked...but my problem still exists in being able to monitor mouse events within the JMF display while the media is being played at full screen. (i.e. in order to stop the media)
Maybe I can use the ControllerListener within the JMF player to monitor mouse events? Any ideas on how I do this?
Is it possible to layer the display with a transparent window from which I can monitor mouse events from?
You mentioned asynchronical playback...I am looking into this idea, are there any examples of this on the web I can look at?
Thanks for your speedy reply also!!
Regards,
Joe

Windowed to Full-screen takes 3 attempts
I'm working on a program, and one of the features I want is to be able to toggle between Full-screen and Windowed modes. I've searched these forums (and google) and saw a lot of the bug issues with full-screen implementations were from JDK 1.4, but haven't found if those bugs still exist. I also haven't found anyone that's encountering quite the same problem I'm having, which is:
When changing the window (JFrame) from windowed mode to full-screen, it does a minimize-maximize loop 3 times before it finally goes full-screen.
I thought it might've been related to the many other parts of the code I had written to handle this (namely key events for global hotkeys), but in the following demo which is a watered-down version of what I'm doing, I still get the same problem. Only difference between this and the actual program is the actual program uses an input-action mapping instead of a button.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class ToggleTest extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
private GraphicsDevice graphicsDevice;
private DisplayMode origDisplayMode;
private JButton myToggleButton;

setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JPanel tmp = new JPanel();
GraphicsDevice[] devices = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getScreenDevices();
graphicsDevice = devices[0];
origDisplayMode = graphicsDevice.getDisplayMode();
JLabel myLabel = new JLabel("Test fullscreen");
tmp.add(myLabel);
myToggleButton = new JButton("Toggle");
myToggleButton.addActionListener(this);
tmp.add(myToggleButton);
getContentPane().add(tmp);
setSize(800,600);
setVisible(true);
* Toggles the screen between full-screen and windowed.
* Implemented as a method for re-usability with code
* that doesn't trigger action commands.
private void toggle() {
if(isFullScreen) {
//Set to windowed mode
dispose();
setUndecorated(false);
setResizable(true);
graphicsDevice.setFullScreenWindow(null);
setSize(800,600);
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
setVisible(true);
validate();
} else {
//set fullscreen mode
dispose();
setUndecorated(true);
setResizable(false);
graphicsDevice.setFullScreenWindow(this);
setVisible(true);
validate();
isFullScreen = !isFullScreen;
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if(e.getSource() == myToggleButton) {
toggle();
}I tried messing with the graphicsDevice.setDisplayMode method, but in examples I've seen, it made the whole screen go black and to the specified resolution of the supplied display mode. I'd rather keep the native resolution regardless of being in full-screen or windowed mode, and instead of having the setDisplayMode(origDisplayMode) in both the windowed and full-screen declarations, I just removed it (with no seemingly ill effects).
I also tried removing the setFullScreenWindow(this) and just resized the JFrame to the current resolution, removed the decorations, removed the ability to resize it, and set it at the upper left corner, and this was a step closer to what I wanted. There were no minimize-maximize incidents, however the start bar was still on top. Reading the javadoc said if fullscreen mode wasn't supported that it would simulate it (which could be the case as the computer I'm testing it on has integrated graphics).
Any help would be appreciated.That would be nice.
Would also be nice to have the visualizer full screen on the secondary screen and leave the pimary screen alone.

Can not properly view cover flow in full screen in external display
My mac is the new Mac book pro 15.4 inch screen and I connect my mac pro to external display e.g. Samsung LCD monitor 24 inches.
The bug is that I can not PROPERLY view full screen (in external display) for some application e.g. iTunes, and Front Row.
- When I use iTunes, I can not properly view Cover Flow view in full screen (in the external display screen) except the case of mirror display.
- For Front Row, I can not view full screen in external display but only my mac display.
However, for other DVD or VDO players, I can view movie on external display in full screen and I still be able to do other works on my mac screen.
Please let me know how to solve it.found the likely issue! are you participating in youtube's html5 trial? go here and it will tell you if you are:

exit the trial and it should fix the issue. it worked for me! -
I'm trying to find an outlet for the frustration I feel regarding the "upgrade" that replaced my full screen picture for my contact numbers to a tiny, little dot in the right hand corner. Are they going to give us an option to go back or did someone just need to justify their job by making changes??

How can i print an Excel file when in the full screen mode (no print options on toolbar or right clk
using Vista, sometimes after creating and saving an excel file, the document is not visible when the file is reopened.
selecting full screen mode makes the document visible, but the toolbars disappear and the print option does not show up on a right click. How can i print the document and see the document in some other mode than full screen?In order to print, you can click the CTRL+P keys to launch the print dialog,
Regarding the missing toolbar, try clicking the ALT key to shouw the software menu, then look around under the view option for any available toolbar settings,
If you cannot find it, i would recommend you to try the Microsoft support forums, as they have some more knowledge with their software features

Any ideas for smooth scrolling of full-screen panels for iPad?
I'm working on an app that is basically just a grid of full screen panels that the user can go through by swiping left, right, up, down. I want it to lock to a singled direction once a user starts swiping so I've got it set to only start scrolling in a direction when the swipe direction has been moved by a few percent - i.e. if delta (x or y) > 5% and delta x > delta y then scroll in the x direction. I'm using a method that detects 'fast swipes' to switch between panels but can also use 'slow swipes' where if the panel is moved more than 50% of the screen then it switches.
To do all this, I'm using MouseEvents - up, down, enter frame etc and TweenLite. It just isn't working right at the moment - seems to work fine when testing on a computer but on my iPad it's just not working right. The locking doesn't seem to work quite right and it's jumpy. It is an iPad 3 so it's a retina display iPad with the weakest CPU/GPU but I want to make it work fine across all iPads so catering for the weakest setup would be best. I'm running my app at 60 fps and the stage is set to 1024x768 with images that are quite high resolution (more than retina). Would 30 fps make a better choice? Should I resize my imagery so that it fits 2048x1536 exactly or is the Flash Builder clever enough to do that on the fly? (I had assumed that it would be best to let it do its thing so that when I try porting this app to iPhones and other tablets, it would be easier).
Is there anything 'out there' already that does what I'm trying to do already? I'd like to get my solution to work but if I'm just reinventing the wheel and there are existing code solutions that do exactly this then I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction!If you are using a stage size of 1024x768 then you should use images of that size - that will make things faster as AIR won't have to scale the bitmap itself and images will take up less memory.
If you are targeting retina screens then you could consider setting the stage to 2048x1536 - upscaling from 1024x768 works ok but depending on what you are displaying users on retina might notice a slight blur.
If you are just using sprites then performance will be poor - AIR has to do a lot of visible area calculation on sprites which really slows it down on iPad. If you haven't already then I would suggest looking at either starling/feathers or doing your own blitting via bitmapData.draw. Probably Starling will be best - it is quite easy to get up and running and the difference in performance can be significant (things suddenly start working like you want them to!). There might even be something in Feathers (which is a UI component library built on Starling) that does what you want already (I don't use it so can't comment). I am using Starling for an iPad app at the moment that involves shifting whole screens around and performance is fine with very little coding effort from iPad1 up. -
Reader and Windows 8.1 FULL SCREEN?
Is there a way to view a document in Reader and Windows 8.1 other than on FULL SCREEN. In previous versions, I could look at a.pdf file while working on another file on my computer screen. This allowed me to get info from the .pdf file and input into the other program.
It might be that you're viewing with an app written to Microsoft's new and exciting "modern" interface which is always full screen. Apparently it's much better and more exciting.
Microsoft Reader comes with Windows 8 and runs that way. Adobe also offer "Adobe Reader Touch" which runs that way.
Some of us old dinosaurs who think it might be neat to arrange multiple apps so we can do more than one thing at once like to run the "legacy" apps like Adobe Reader. -
Full-screen (spacebar) preview quality testing
[For background story, please read http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1056763 but be warned, it's very l-o-n-g!]
In brief: some people have noted that Bridge full-screen (spacebar) previews (FSPs) don't accurately reflect the sharpness of a photograph. Sometimes this can be explained by individual configuration problems, but it's clear that this is a common issue amongst people using Bridge to assess/score photograph sharpness, without having to build/examine 100% previews for every image.
[It's worth noting that one common reason why FSPs aren't very sharp is because the Bridge advanced preference "Generate Monitor-Size Previews" hasn't been ticked, as this produces a higher resolution image cache. Another cause of very fuzzy previews is random and unexplained, but can usually be solved by restarting Bridge and/or clearing the cache for the selection.]
This discussion concerns the lack of sharpness seen only in FSPs. It can be described as "a subtle but significant loss of detail and sharpness, similar to a slightly out of focus photograph"; imagine a photo with a little bit of blur filter, or a Photoshop PSD at a non-standard zoom setting. This "softening" of the image is caused by Bridge asking the graphics processor to resize the image cache to fit the display. If you select the Bridge advanced preference "Use Software Rendering", you can improve a poor FSP slightly, at the expense of speed, by bypassing the graphics processor.
The test
Visit this web page and download the last image ("2362x3543 pixel, 4.5 Mb") to your computer.
Browse to this image in Bridge, and view it full-screen by pressing Spacebar. Take a screen capture, and save it as a TIFF or PSD.
Adjust your slideshow settings (Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-L), picking "Scaled to Fill", then click on "Play". Save the screen capture, as above.
You now have two screen captures: one FSP, and one cache JPEG reference shot. Examine them side by side at 100%, or layer them in Photoshop and use the hide layer button to flick between images. Pay particular attention to the two left-hand photos, the sharpness check text, and the converging lines.
Make a note of your computer's operating system, graphics processor and driver version, as well as your largest display's pixel dimensions.
Post this information below, together with high quality (10) JPEGs of both screen captures, labelled FSP and REF, and any observations, so we can all see.OK, it usually takes me a while to let the penny drop, especially when it comes to maths...
I also am busy with the transition of my new Mac pro but with al this here are my results. I include several screenshots but due to upload limit of 2 MB per image in here I downsized the original screenshots a lot, but hopefully it will be clear.
For full screen screenshots I have the asked FSP and REF but also the 100% preview in Bridge with space bar and click. Don't know what your file size is but using EOS 1Dx with 18 MP CR2 files (converted to DNG) it does take me about 1,5 - 2 seconds for both loupe and FSP to build a 100 % preview, and I seem to recall this was not very different behavior on my previous (6 year old) Mac Pro.
You are right (of course... :-) ) regarding the difference between FSP and REF, when studying closely there is a significant detail difference between the FSP and the REF. However, only the 100 % preview matches the original jpeg. The FSP file is on closer look not so good with details but the REF file is only slightly better, both are not correct and therefor the 100 % is still needed.
Here is the FSP screenshot:
and here the REF screenshot:
also the 100 % preview in full screen screenshot:
and finally a composed file with details from original, 100 % REF and FSP:
As said before, at first sight I can't spot significant difference between all options and the full screen (as the preview panel HQ preview) let's me spot the vast majority of unsharpness issues, hence my multiple rounds of sorting and incases of doubt the 100 % option.
So while your theory is correct I'm afraid I (still) doubt the usefulness of this all. If neither the FSP and the REF (although the latter does show a bit better result) can match the results of the original but the 100 % does it well I don't see an easy solution for improvement.
I agree with the quality from the screenshots Curt provided, but Curt also uses the embedded thumbnail instead of HQ preview option. Depending on his needs and hard ware availability it would be nice to see new results with the HQ and monitor sized previews options enabled.

Bridge - How to view image in full screen resolution
In Bridge - How to view an image in full screen resolution and not as a Preview (Space bar), like in Lightroom (F), Photoshop or ViewNX 2 ?

Hi, after installing Adobe CC I tried opening Adobe Photoshop. This failed.
I get the opening window where it says installing plugins searching etc, after which PS opens in full screen.
Just moments after that there's a failure warning, no code number, only the warning that PS failed to open and PS will close.
I tried downloading it for a second time, but this did'nt solve the problem.
Befor the CC version I used a one year student version of Adobe CS6.
What can I do?Regarding the Flash Player problem, disable Hardware Acceleration to circumvent driver incompatibilities.
Regarding the Flash Pro installation problems, post in the Flash forums or http://forums.adobe.com/community/download_install_setup
