Setting scroll pane initial display size
hello.
how can i modify the modified code below so that users of my video library system would be able to view CD/DVD/Game information by name, age category, type and year? the text area is not displaying in a proper size - i have to use the scroll pane to view the data in the text area. i should be able to view the data in the text area without a scrollpane because there is not much data in the database. how can i make the text area bigger?
thanks.

How to set PDF file default display size through Report Writter 6i
Anyone could help me, how to setup default display (magnification i.e 100% or 80%) for a pdf file generated by report writter 6i.
Thanks
Rajhi,
regarding report, there is a dedicated report forum. you should post there.
but answer for your question is form is nothing to do with the pdf generation. you can call the report from the as usual.
In the report you should set the properties like
destype to 'file'
desname to 'path with file name'
desformat to 'pdf' -
VNC/Remote Management display size setting?
I'm not sure the best place to ask this question, it has several different components involved in it. I've looked all over but can't seem to find any info on this.
I've got a headless Mini running 10.5.1. When I use a VNC client or now "Share Screen" to it, it comes up with a screen size of 1680 x 1050. Back when it was running Tiger it was something smaller (but can't remember what it was right now).
Question is... how is this size set and is it changeable?
Thanks,
RichSorry, I guess I should have been more specific, how do you set it to other display sizes besides the ones that are listed in Sys Prefs? What if I want to make it bigger than 1860 x1050 (which is the biggest listed)? I'm connecting from a Mac that has a 30" display, so what if I want to make it closer to that display's size, which is 2560 x 1600? How was 1680 x 1050 even picked in the first place? I do not have a monitor attached at all, let alone that size.

Hello all. I am trying to get a scroll pane to work in an application that I have built for school. I am trying to get an amortization table to scroll through for a mortgage calculator. It isn't recognizing my scrollpane and I am not sure why. Could someone give me a push in the right direction.

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. -

How to set display size of a Region or Dynamic Region?
Hi,experts,
In jdev 11.1.2.3,
I drag and drop a task-flow into a jsf page to create a Region,
and set display size for the region, source code as:
===================
<f:facet name="second">
<af:decorativeBox theme="medium" id="db1">
<f:facet name="center">
<af:panelGroupLayout layout="scroll" id="pgl1"
inlineStyle="width:1200px;height:700px;">
<af:region value="#{bindings.trainflow11.regionModel}" id="r1"
inlineStyle="width:1200px;height:700px;"/>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</f:facet>
</af:decorativeBox>
</f:facet>
=================
But, the Region is only showed a small fraction area on the parent jsf page whenever during design or run time.
How to set display size of a Region or Dynamic Region?
Thanks!Hi,
the decorative box is supposed to stretch components in the center facet, so at runtime the region should stretch. Can you try with a static region to see if this is an issue with dynamic regions?

How to set a uniform display size of multiple intermedia image types - wher
I have read "If you want to limit the size of the file that can be uploaded, you can do this as a post generation
step, by adding the maxFileSize property to the <controller> element in the struts-config:
This does not address how to limit the *** display size *** where you have multiple intermedia image types - where the original size is not uniform.
If an image is uploaded where the true image display size is 1024 x 768 - it will display that way in the table/table-form. This will create un-even display size's where previous images sizes where different 384 x 384 and so on.
Is there a way to encode the display size so that *** ALL *** images regardless of their true size are displayed uniformly at least on one dimension (64 x ???)? This is possible when using products such as Dreamweaver or Flash.
BTW - JHS/***JDev*** synergy is truely magnificient!!! Way-To-Go Oracle!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up!!!!
BG...Bill,
I did some tests, and was able to reproduce it. The problem is that JHeadstart distinguishes between display types fileDownload and image, but UIX uses the same <media> tag to handle both display types. It will look at runtime whether it must render a hyperlink to download the document, or to render it right away as an image.
To get all images the same size, you can set the display width and height, AND the display type must be set to image.
However, to get the file name used as download link, you must set the FileName attribute AND the display type must be set to "fileDownload" ..
So, to solve your problem, it is easiest to set the displayType to "fileDownload" and set the width and height properties post-generation in the generated UIX page.
In the next release of Jheadstart, we will fix this, and always pick up width, height and fileName settings regardless of the display type.
Note that you should also set the FileName property against the attribute you are using to upload the file.

Connecting a laptop to a new 42" Panasonic monitor (TC-L42E60), I found
the display to be blurry.
xrandr shows this line:
HDMI2 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 698mm x 392mm
Use the same hardware, on my co-worker's older 42" monitor, I see:
HDMI2 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 930mm x 520mm
A physical size of 698mm x 392mm is closer to 32". I assume there is a
problem with the monitor's EDID (the monitor's firmware is up to date).
Does anyone know how to manually set the physical size? I fiddled
around with 'xrandr --fbmm' but to no avail.Before making changes, I see these two lines in the output of xrandr:
LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 277mm x 156mm
HDMI2 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 698mm x 392mm
And this information from Xorg.log:
$ grep monitor /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I then created this file:

I now see this in Xorg.log:

But in the output of xrandr, I see no change to the display size:
LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 277mm x 156mm
HDMI2 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 698mm x 392mm
I understand my laptop screen is LVDS1 but I was hoping to see have a
display size of 930mm x 520mm.
1) Does anyone know how to define HDMI2 in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitor.conf ?
2) Does anyone know how to override the DisplaySize?
Maybe if I get '1' to work, '2' will follow, but I figured I'd ask.

Setting my display size to "Best for Retina Display" creates a host of problems.
When I go into System Preferences>Displays>Set Best for Retina Displays, my typical web pages are scaled a bit too large to fit on the screen and I'm constanty having to scroll left/right to all the information. On top of that, if I click on a link, e.g., click on YouTube video, the resulting screen is shrunk to occupy only a small portion of the screen, and is much too small to read/view. This is a new phenomenon and hasn't always been this way. Any ideas?
Which os version are you using?
Does this happen in all browsers?

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.

Putting an image in a scroll pane
This is probably a simple question for most of you, but I need a little bit of help. How do I put a picture in a scroll pane?
The problem I have is that I can load an image and display it, that works fine. However, let's say I am making a new frame (I generally use JFrames), and I want to have a scroll pane in it. Let's also say I have numerous buttons around the edges (using a BorderLayout, or something). How do I load an image, draw the image on-screen and have it so that it only shows up in the scroll pane without the scrollbars disappearing?
I try to do it now, but for some reason the scroll bars of the scroll pane never show up. I can make the entire image be displayed by dragging the window edges bigger (the normal way you make windows bigger), and then I can see the entire picture. Unfortunately, the scroll bars on the scroll pane never show up if the window is too small to display the entire image. This is very puzzling, because I really don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have tried putting a panel in the scroll pane, and drawing on the panel, but still no scroll bars show up on the scroll pane if it is not big enough to show the entire picture / panel.
I am sure that the solution is very simple, but right now that solution eludes me.There's an example in the swing tutorials that seems to me to do exactly what you want.
See if http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/scrollpane.html does the job, (less the border layout and buttons of course, but that shouldn't be too hard once you get the scroll bars working).
I believe the default scrollbar policy will let the scroll bars appear only when needed based on the bounds and the preferred size.
I used the example to set up a scrolling map (still just a gif image) and it works fine. If you still have trouble, you probably need to post the relevant section of code. -
Can't get scroll panes to scroll
Hi,
I have tabbed pane which have scroll panes which have (for each) a pane that has a known number of JLabels. The size of the tabbed pane and scroll panes are fixed, but the size of panes that are contained in them changes. I expected that when the size of panes become bigger then the size of the scroll pane a scroll bar would occur and do its job. But that does not happen. I use setSize method to set the size of the panes(not the scroll panes), which works fine.( I displayed the pane in a seperate window to check if it works.)
Have any ideas what I am missing?My apologies.
I am using NetBeans, and didn't change the code it created for GUI. I am inclined to beleive that it does not make errors when creating GUI components.
Here is the method I use to populate one pane.
public void listOffline() {
// Clear the panel and set its size.
// offlinePanel is the pane inside the scrollpane.
offlinePanel.removeAll();
offlinePanel.setSize(200, 20*offlineList.size());
//offlinePane.setSize(200, 20*offlineList.size());
// I need a list of strings to display.
String[] ListString= arrayToStr(offlineList);
int au=0;
JLabel tempLabel;
// Populate the list.
for(int ii=0; ii < ListString.length; ii++) {
// Add item number.
if (ii%2 == 0){
tempLabel = new JLabel((ii/2 + 1) + ". " + ListString[ii]);
else {
tempLabel=new JLabel(ListString[ii]);
offlinePanel.add(tempLabel);
tempLabel.setLocation(20,20*ii);
tempLabel.setSize(200,20);
// Name is in blue.
if(au%2==0) {
tempLabel.setForeground(java.awt.Color.BLUE);
// Address is in green.
else {
tempLabel.setForeground(new java.awt.Color(0,140,0));
tempLabel.setText("ftp://" + tempLabel.getText());
final String temp = tempLabel.getText();
// Open address in default browser if clicked.
tempLabel.setCursor(java.awt.Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(12));
tempLabel.addMouseListener(new java.awt.event.MouseAdapter() {
@Override
public void mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"cmd", "/c", "start " + temp});
catch (Exception e) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error opening browser.");
au++;
ListString = null;

Can't get panes to re-size with hotkeys
I have a small annoyance whereby sometimes my hotkeys to re-size existing panes doesn't work. I had changed the hotkeys to move from pane to pane to be Alt-Left (arrow) and Alt-Right (arrow) key. After looking at the default settings by running tmux's in-pane help (the hotkey shift-?) I commented those two keys out thinking that would reset tmux to its default behaviour. It hasn't worked so far and I'm not sure where else to look aside from my .tmux.conf file. It's based on Thayer's own config:
#~/.tmux.conf - tmux terminal multiplexer config
# Based heavily on Thayer Williams' (http://cinderwick.ca)
## Environmental Options
# Enable tmux to use a 256 colour terminal
# Provided the underlying terminal supports 256 colours, it is usually sufficient to add the following to ~/.tmux.conf:
set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"
set -g terminal-overrides 'xterm*:smcup@:rmcup@'
# If you SSH into a host in a tmux window, you'll notice the window title of your terminal emulator remains to be user@localhost
# rather than user@server. To allow the title bar to adapt to whatever host you connect to, set the following in ~/.tmux.conf
set -g set-titles on
set -g set-titles-string "#T"
# open a man page in new window
bind m command-prompt "split-window 'exec man %%'"
## By default, all windows in a session are constrained to the size of the
## smallest client connected to that session, even if both clients are
## looking at different windows. It seems that in this particular case, Screen
## has the better default where a window is only constrained in size if a
## smaller client is actively looking at it. This behaviour can be fixed by
## setting tmux's aggressive-resize option.
setw -g aggressive-resize on
# mouse-select-pane [on | off]
# # If on, tmux captures the mouse and when a window is
# # split into multiple panes the mouse may be used to
# # select the current pane. The mouse click is also
# # passed through to the application as normal.
set -g mouse-select-pane on
## Upon starting to use tmux, I noticed that I had to add a noticeable delay
## between two characters in a command sequence for it to recognize the
## command, for example between the C-a and n in C-a n. This is because tmux is
## waiting for an escape sequence. Fix that by setting escape time to zero.
set -s escape-time 0

In the Motion tab... right click the video in the sequence and send to viewer...
Then under the MOTION tab... twirl down the DISTORT triangle and then check the aspect ratio there... set either to 0, 33 or -33.

Some graphics in a website cannot be scrolled, panned or zoomed in/out
http://professional.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111903520204576480123949521268.html?mod=WSJ_Home_la...
the graphics in the above website does not respond to scrolling, panning or zooming gestures. Is there a way to make it happen? without that, major parts of the graphics cannot be viewed.
unfortunately this is a paid site so you may not be able to load it but i thought may be some of you may be subscribers.
thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.thanks, aandras.
in this art there is an interactive graphic which you can access either by 1) clicking on the graphic towards the middle of the article on the left side just above the picture of senator Reid, or 2) clicking on the tab near the start of the article labelled "interactive graphics".
for me, either way will load that page but the page is not scrollable, zoomable nor pannable. that page actually has a set of 10 different graphics you can select via buttons in the left. oddly these buttons work and actually switch the graphics. but most of them are too large to be displayed on the playbook screen which therefore have to be scrolled/panned but that does not work for me. the page, other thank those buttons, acts as if it is frozen. -
Scroll pane can't align it's content
When a Node(group fro example) is added into a scroll pane, the scroll pane automatically align the node to the upper left corner of the scroll pane's content area. How can i customize the Node's alignment(the middle center eg) in the scroll pane. When the Node's size is scaled and larger than the scroll pane's size the scroll pane's scroll bar appears, and if the Node's size shrinks and it's size becomes smaller than the scroll pane's then the Node is aligned to the middle center. it seems don't take affect if i override the scroll pane's layoutChildren method and set layoutX and layoutY property of the Node.
If any one can give me some clue?
thanksScrollPanes are somewhat tricky to use. They don't align content, you need to use layout managers to do that or you need to layout yourself with shapes in groups using absolute co-ordinates and/or translations. The ScrollPane defines it's own viewport related coordinates and you need to layout your content within that viewport.
How can i customize the Node's alignment(the middle center eg) in the scroll pane.Get the layoutBoundsInParent of the node, get the viewportBounds of the scrollpane and perform the translation of the node such that the center of the node is in the center of the viewportBounds (will require a little bit of basic maths to do this) by adding listeners on each property.
When the Node's size is scaled and larger than the scroll pane's size the scroll pane's scroll bar appears, and if the Node's size shrinks and it's size becomes smaller than the scroll pane's then the Node is aligned to the middle center.Similar to above, just work with those properties.
Not exactly a direct answer to your question, but you could try playing around with the following code if you like Saludon. It is something I wrote to learn about JavaFX's layoutbounds system. Resizing the scene and toggling items on and off will allow you to see the scroll pane. The view bounds listeners show you the properties you are interested in to achieve the effect you want.
