Something Interesting...

I want to create a window similiar to windows explorer. That would contain a split pane. and the left component of splitpane would be a component with a close button. Is there any built in method to have a component with close button?
I used to InternalFrame, but that will have a frame header in blue color. Which I dont like to use..
Thanks in advance for ur replies..
Sapna

Well a split pane would give you resize facilities, and a single click minimal size facility, a la netscrape 6. The easiest way of having a closeable component is simply to hide the component when you want to make it invisible. You'd have to add a button to the component to trigger the setVisible(false) action. You might have to revalidate the layout when you make it visible again though, and you'd have to implement resizing behaviour yourself. Your choice, really.
Hope this helps.--

  • Headphones something interesting apple wrote!

    i was looking through the tips here
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/tips/
    i found something interesting, if you click on sleep/wake button tab, there is a part which reads ...
    'When iPhone is locked, nothing happens if you touch the screen. You can still listen to music and adjust the volume, and use the button on the included stereo headset to play or pause a song, or answer or end a call.'
    Now does anyone else notice they say use the button on your headset to play or pause a song,,, is it just me ? i got some plain headphones with no buttons with my ipod 3G....
    Nick

    On the earbuds that came with the iPhone 3G, you should notice a small nub located on the cord attached to the right earbud. This is the button that will allow you to start/stop music or answer/disconnect calls by squeezing it. It also contains a microphone to pick up your voice for phone calls.

  • Find something interesting today.

    Under "<MiddlewareHome>\jdeveloper\soa\modules\oracle.bpm.client_11.1.1" directory, I find some jars contain class of BPM Service.
    Although no javadoc on these classes, I find that they can be used in a way similar to WorkflowService classes.
    I believe this is the replacement for PAPI to control BPM on process scale.
    Hope that API specifications will be released soon.
    Below is a example to authenicate:
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    WorkflowServicesClientConfigurationType wscct =
    new WorkflowServicesClientConfigurationType();
    List<ServerType> servers = wscct.getServer();
    ServerType server = new ServerType();
    server.setDefault(true);
    server.setName("soa_server1");
    servers.add(server);
    RemoteClientType rct = new RemoteClientType();
    rct.setServerURL("<managed soa server url>");
    rct.setUserName("weblogic");
    RemoteClientType.Password pw = new RemoteClientType.Password();
    pw.setValue("weblogic1");
    rct.setPassword(pw);
    rct.setInitialContextFactory("weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
    rct.setParticipateInClientTransaction(false);
    server.setRemoteClient(rct);
    wscct.setClientType(BPMServiceClientFactory.REMOTE_CLIENT);

  • Something interesting with check rule for VAT registration no.

    Hi Guys,
    I found something weird in sap with check rule for VAT registration no.
    If I set any of check rules for US and save(tcode oy17), then change the country of a customer from DE to US and save(not change the VAT registration no), the system post error messages "ISO code DE is not correct in the VAT registration number". But if I set rule for AU(australia) with same rule as US, and change the customer's country from DE to AU(not change the VAT no), no error happens and customer can be saved successfully. So anybody can give any explanation on this problem?
    Thanks in advance, point will be rewared. Waiting for the comments.

  • Something Interesting about Ref Cursor

    Hi All,
    An extract from Standard package
    type "<REF_CURSOR_1>" is ref cursor;
    function '=' (LEFT "<REF_CURSOR_1>", RIGHT "<REF_CURSOR_1>")
    return BOOLEAN;
    pragma BUILTIN('=', 1, 1, 1);
    pragma FIPSFLAG('=', 1450);
    function '!=' (LEFT "<REF_CURSOR_1>", RIGHT "<REF_CURSOR_1>")
    return BOOLEAN;
    pragma BUILTIN('!=', 1, 1, 1);
    pragma FIPSFLAG('!=', 1450);
    function '=ANY' (LEFT "<REF_CURSOR_1>", RIGHT "<REF_CURSOR_1>")
    return BOOLEAN;
    function '!=ANY' (LEFT "<REF_CURSOR_1>", RIGHT "<REF_CURSOR_1>")
    return BOOLEAN;
    function '=ALL' (LEFT "<REF_CURSOR_1>", RIGHT "<REF_CURSOR_1>")
    return BOOLEAN;
    function '!=ALL' (LEFT "<REF_CURSOR_1>", RIGHT "<REF_CURSOR_1>")
    return BOOLEAN;
    function '=SOME' (LEFT "<REF_CURSOR_1>", RIGHT "<REF_CURSOR_1>")
    return BOOLEAN;
    function '!=SOME' (LEFT "<REF_CURSOR_1>", RIGHT "<REF_CURSOR_1>")
    return BOOLEAN;
    function DECODE (expr "<REF_CURSOR_1>", pat "<REF_CURSOR_1>",
    res "<REF_CURSOR_1>")
    return "<REF_CURSOR_1>";
    pragma BUILTIN('DECODE', 1, 1, 1);
    function 'IS NULL' (B "<REF_CURSOR_1>") return BOOLEAN;
    pragma BUILTIN('IS NULL', 0, 3, 0);
    pragma FIPSFLAG('IS NULL', 1450);
    function 'IS NOT NULL' (B "<REF_CURSOR_1>") return BOOLEAN;
    pragma FIPSFLAG('IS NOT NULL', 1450);
    function NVL (B1 "<REF_CURSOR_1>", B2 "<REF_CURSOR_1>")
    return "<REF_CURSOR_1>";
    pragma FIPSFLAG('NVL', 1450);
    By Observing above piece of code, <REF_CURSOR_1> is defined as ref cursor,
    And many function prototypes specified to support this type of parameter,
    But if we try to call these functions with ref cursor variable as parameter oracle internal error is displayed….
    Pls add your observations…...
    Thanks

    You missed out what is (in my opinion) the interesting part of the STANDARD package, the comment above that declaration:
    -- The following data types are generics, used specially within package
    -- STANDARD and some other Oracle packages.  They are protected against
    -- other use; sorry.  True generic types are not yet part of the language.
      type "<ADT_1>" as object (dummy char(1));
      type "<RECORD_1>" is record (dummy char(1));
      type "<TUPLE_1>" as object (dummy char(1));
      type "<VARRAY_1>" is varray (1) of char(1);
      type "<V2_TABLE_1>" is table of char(1) index by binary_integer;
      type "<TABLE_1>" is table of char(1);
      type "<COLLECTION_1>" is table of char(1);
      type "<REF_CURSOR_1>" is ref cursor;The fact that these pseudo-generics are only for internal use is not surprising; STANDARD is an odd package (can you write a packaged function that you can call without prefixing it with the package name? no, but STANDARD can). What intrigues me is the hint that at some point in the future PL/SQL will support generics. Java's about to get 'em (JDK 1.5 aka Tiger). If PL/SQL has them as well I really will have to teach myself Aspect Orientated Program.

  • "Something Interesting that Draws your Attention", Saving issues.

    Hi, Am editing an hour long video for a friend with premiere 3. I am normally able to export my projects as AVI files with no problem. The thing is is that usually they are only 15 min at max but this is an hour long vid. I tried saving it to an external drive as I normally do that had 79 gigs of free space. It would stop 10 min into export and say "export error, no free space on drive." or whatever. I decided to just save it to the main internal hard drive in my comp. the only problem was I only had about half as many free gigs on it than needed to save the hour long vid. so I chopped the project in half and saved the first half as an AVI to the internal HD. when it finished my plan was to copy it over to the external drive, delete the file on the internal, so I had room, and repeat with the second half of the video.
    After the first half completed exporting, I tried to play it and it said it was a damaged AVI file and offered to play anyways (which doesn't work) cancel, or try to repair it. It mentions trying to repare it could take along time.
    My main concern is not this vid as much as another I will be finishing soon which will be almost 2 hours.
    I wanted to know if anyone could give me some ideas or advise as to why I am having these issues and what other options for saving I might have. preferably AVI.
    Thanks!

    I know I really should get more space but besides that 13 gigs should be able to fit into 79 free gigs on the drive and in the case of my internal one, a 5-6 gig file should fit into 11 gigs. Why would the AVI file I export immediately damaged? Please I need advise as to why it is having trouble saving when there IS enough space.

  • I did something stupid (i386)

    I was messing around in my command line, when the autocomplete feature showed me the command i386. I wanted to know what it did, so I ran it. I can't believe I did this, but I guess I expected it to display help to explain the command. Instead, it ran without output. Afterwards, I did "man i386" and it brought up the setarch man page. My question is, how do I reverse this change?

    No, I ran it as a normal user.
    I've read over the man page, it seems to suggest that it did nothing to my system. Is this true?
    Edit: I just noticed something interesting, after running i386 in a terminal, running exit displays the output 'logout' instead of exiting. Then, running exit closes the terminal. What is the meaning of this? This seems to reinforce the idea that is made no change.

  • Interesting - Different views when creating substitute rule in UWL and normal view

    Hi Guys,
    Just came across something interesting i thought i should mentioned it here incase someone knows why. When creating the substitute rule on the MSS main page one gets the window without a small road map, however if you do that via the UWL menu you get a nice view with a road map.
    From the main page  when you click on the create rule button you get this
    =>
    From the UWL side menu you get this, but the button being clicked is teh same. Anyone know how this works and how to make it the same ?

    Moderator Spotlight - Siddharth Rajora Thank you very much for your reply. So just to clarify a few things
    Is it possible at all to have the road map when creating substitution rules from the main MSS lane/manager view on the main page? I am on Webdynpro ABAP. If so can you please help with the steps.
    I am right in saying that the road map view in UWL is based on WEBDYNPRO JAVA?
    We are currently on ECC6 EH6, would i be correct to tell the boss that road map will is not available in EHP7
    Basically the boss would like the road map from the main MSS lane/Launch pad. Thats what he prefers. I have tried to identify the application that is used to display the road map but i cant find it, it looks like its not WEBDYNPRO ABAP. In UWL view When I right click on th button i do not get the technical help to see the application which is what i normally do and it works on the launch pad/MSS lane

  • The new version claims to be faster? I beg to differ wslow as syrup and crashes something the previous version never ever did, can I get the old version back ?

    Every time since DL'ing the latest version it has been god awful slow. Crashes and requires I restart my computer before I can use the internet. I did send the error reports through your system. MS claims it is not compatible with netframes and other apps. So I am wondering has Mozilla just become another unreliable product like some others that will remain nameless? Or are these problems going to be addressed as I am sure I can go back to Internet Explorer after some major updating.

    I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

  • Interesting, no Metallica on iTunes........

    Here's something interesting I heard that Metallica refuses to put their music on any download store, but if you go to Walmart and go to the downloads page and do a search Metallica has 140 songs on there. What's goin' on here... Anyone have any ideas?

    Metallica has always maintained very tight control of their catalog & its distribution. For a long time, I know that Metallica had not allowed any on-line store to offer their catalog. If WalMart has it, it's fairly recent & Metallica may have signed an exclusive contract with WalMart.

  • Airport not available on MacBook Pro 15 unibody mid 2009, PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Ok, so I just recently put in a new hard drive and battery by myself, since my original MacBook Pro hard drive became "corrupted" most likely due to a parallel desktop software I was using. Anyway so I finally install everything on the new hard drive and airport is not working. The icon is NOT EVEN THERE on the menu bar. I go into Network and the only thing I've got is Ethernet and Firewall. I've tried the "+" thing, and it didn't work. I then went into "Assist Me" , then "Diagnostics" and the airport option is greyed out, so is the external modem. Oh, and the operating system is Snow Leopard  OS X 10.6.3. Has a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.
    I also deleted the "SystemConfiguration" Folder and found something interesting. The "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" was never there and when I reboot, the "com.apple.network.identification.plist" also disappeared. I had to drag it back into the folder from the desktop where I put a copy just in case something weird happened, which it did.
    I checked System Profiler, clicked on AirPort and it gives me stuff under "Software Versions", so I'm guessing it's acknowledging that THERE IS a card and can give me all the information for it, but I can't get the mac to use it. I reset the PRAM AND SMC and still nothin.
    So, I figured it must be hardware, right? So I open the mac like i did when I installed the new hard drive and battery, and I CANNOT FIND THE DARN AIRPORT CARD. On the mid 2010 models it's with the bluetooth card at the top and I've tried looking online for ANYONE, who has tried to get to the airport card on the mid 2009 model for the MacBook Pro 15 unibody. And found nothing. I think it's in the clutch, but I'm too scared to touch that area. Does anyone else have any ideas or have I covered all my bases?
    I REALLY DO NOT want to go to Apple. I don't have AppleCare and don't have the money to have them poke around and tell me the same thing I already know. And I spent way too much on this computer to not be able to use it to full capacity. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

  • Multiple iDvd creation issues

    Howdy,
    I've got multiple questions I've been meaning to address for awhile but I'm always forgetting so while I'm sitting here at work thinking about them I'm just gonna throw them all into one big post (I never tend to think about this stuff when I'm actually at home in front of the computer). Any help will be appreciated.
    First let me note that I'm using one of the flat panel 17" imacs. It's like 3 years old now but it's served me very well so far. I've added more memory & an external hard drive & am using iLife 6.
    DVD-R:
    The only dvds (besides movies & the like) that the superdrive recognizes are DVD-R's. Has anyone ever come up w/ a way to use DVD+Rs or better on these old machines?
    Continuous Play Music Video DVDs:
    My goal is to make music video mix dvds. This means I want to burn music vids on a dvd that can be accessed separately or you can just pop the dvd in & click play & it will run through the whole dvd. Problem is I haven't found any kind of continuous play option in idvd. So the obvious choice is to convert all of the videos into one long movie in iMovie (broken into chapters) but of course I've been unsuccesful at this. Even though I've converted the videos into the proper format (arrived at through research on this forum) the videos don't load into imovie correctly...at least 3 out the 4 I tried didn't (tried multiple times on each). It would condense the video into like a quarter of the screen & leave everything else black space. So anyone got any suggestions on how I can get this done?
    SD on Widescreen formatted disc:
    I have burned a music video DVD a little while back & ended up w/ something interesting. I formatted the disc for widescreen assuming the standard def(4:3) videos would all just be letterboxed on the side but the result was that some were & some weren't (in fact most weren't). This means they are stretched out to widescreen. This isn't a huge deal since I can use the tv itself to letterbox them but still I'd like to know if there is a way to deal with this in the creation of the disk. Any suggestions?
    Forgive me if I've missed anything obvious. I have tried at various times to research each of these topics but haven't found any answers. Thanks.

    Hello Farrell,
    for this kind of project you'll need to get your workflow straightened out - and I think at the moment you're "mixing apples & pears".
    The only dvds (besides movies & the like) that the superdrive recognizes are DVD-R's. Has anyone ever come up w/ a way to use DVD+Rs or better on these old machines?
    DVD-R media is actually your best bet compatibility-wise. The only other option would be Double-Layer DVD+R, but that would mean getting an external burner in your case. If your content doesn't exceed, say 90-100 min. I would stick with the DVD-R.
    Even though I've converted the videos into the proper format (arrived at through research on this forum) the videos don't load into imovie correctly...
    You might have converted to the correct format, but obviously the sizes don't match. DV video is 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL), so if you want to fill the screen, you'll have to convert to the proper size. On the other hand, if you have some web clips at 320x240, up-rezzing them might degrade the quality to a point that the whole thing becomes unwatchable.
    I formatted the disc for widescreen assuming the standard def(4:3) videos would all just be letterboxed on the side but the result was that some were & some weren't (in fact most weren't)
    If you want to burn a widescreen DVD, you'll need to start off with a widescreen project in iMovie. As you have quite mixed footage, the best thing would be to turn on "auto letter & pillarboxing" in preferences. This will preserve the correct aspect ratio of your clips.
    but still I'd like to know if there is a way to deal with this in the creation of the disk
    Widescreen DVDs created in iDVD 6 are set to "auto letterboxing & pan-scan", meaning it depends on the setting of your DVD player how the disc will be displayed - but as you found out, you can easily toggle the view option on your remote.
    If you want to force letterboxing, you can re-edit your final DVD with a little app called myDVDedit (http://www.mydvdedit.com/).
    hope this helps

  • Is there a way to make the Markers panel work better with the Source panel?

    My workflow is to first cut a multi-cam project (but it could be any long clip), then watch it all over again to make notes about what to keep and what to kick.  So after I'm done cutting the initial rough cut of the entire hour or two of footage, I'll set focus to the Markers panel and begin watching the entire clip from the beginning to make notes as markers within the clip. 
    I'll play the clip back in the Source monitor and when something interesting happens, I'll type "M" on the keyboard.  This places a marker in the clip (or multi-cam clip in my case).  Without stopping the clip, I'll pick up my mouse and tap the Markers tab in the notes section for the last marker laid down.  I'll type a note (something like "S" for interesting "Shot" or "HUGS" or "DANCING" to indicate the main action occuring at this point in the clip, or "Mike:  Are we there, yet?" for a key dialog point).  Next, I'll move my mouse back to the Source panel (the video has not stopped this entire time) and give any gray area of the Source panel a tap just to activate it.  I'll watch for the next point of interest and repeat the process.  M to mark.  Move to the Markers panel.  Tap the last marker.  Type some notes.  Move back to the Source panel and tap to give the panel focus.  This works fairly well, but could be tuned, with just a few options, to make it more streamlined for this type of use.
    What I'd like to be able to do is never leave the keyboard AND use minimal keyboard shortcuts.  A perfect workflow might be:
    1. Start playing the clip in the Source panel.
    2. Type "M" to drop a marker.  Focus would AUTOMATICALLY move to the notes section of that marker within the Markers panel, while the video continues to play on in the Source panel.
    3. I type my notes into the Markers panel and hit Enter, or CTRL+Enter, which returns focus to the Source panel.
    This would allow me to quickly build a list of markers and notes about a clip or sequence without ever stopping and without once touching my mouse (unless I get behind and need to backup).  Currently, the only time I really get behind is when clicking on a window and not realizing that focus was not given to that window, so that when I hit "M" again, for example, I don't actually create a new marker, but rather add the letter "M" to my most recent Marker note.
    All of this seems a very common task for anyone who works in reality TV, or even event videography.  Who's with me?  Can this be done already?  If not, I'll submit a feature request.  How would you make this feature better?

    Sounds like you did this on the fly.
    MM is supposed to open the Marker Panel Dialogue
    M just sets a marker
    Not sure if either are intended for on the fly during playback .
    There is also a Marker Icon on the Source Window Pane  >>

  • A pdf document created in cs5 cannot be printed in duplex on a pc without cs5 or adobe reader pro

    Hi!
    there is a "normal" cs5 created pdf document.
    the installed cs5  pc -> i can print in duplex on every printer, without cs5 installed duplex printing not possible.
    I am searching for a solution to print the pdf document in duplex mode on every printer, but only with the latest freeware version adobe xi 11.0.3.
    (If i install adobe cs4 on a pc it is possible to print the document in duplex mode on a hp3525 printer, but duplex is not possible on a ricoh printer for example mpc5502.)
    I cant upload the file, because its bigger than 2 mb. (5mb)
    Is there anybody out there for help.
    If you need the file, i´ll send 2 u.
    thx

    Yep, it definitely is a complicated workflow... But I'm not really sure of any other way to get from the 34" wide pattern to the home-sewing version which is split into pages and has alignment marks and whatnot. I'm very much an amateur that has figured it out as I went
    I went through the page in the photo pretty thoroughly with the layer panel and I couldn't find any mystery lines... But I did find something interesting; when I click on any of the pattern lines, it shows the whole line of the pattern piece, which extends well past the edge of the artboard. So when I'm printing the poster-sized PDF to 7.5x10 pages, it's keeping all the anchor points of a line even if only a small piece of that is on the actual page.
    Does this help? I've included the page in the photo as well http://www.putlocker.com/file/DADB4759DBB860D8
    Thanks again to everyone!
    Also, should I be keeping all the files I'm editing as .ai files and then only exporting to PDF for the very final product? I was doing that at first, but then using .pdf for the whole process didn't seem to make any difference.

  • Data no longer working in 1.3.1 with vodafone / GSM / O2(DE)

    Tried finding a similar thread on the forums, couldn't find one, so I'll start a new one. This issue has been discussed to some lengths on the PreCentral forums, but no solution has yet been found.
    I'm using an unlocked German Pre in the Netherlands, with a (non-business) vodafone NL account. On 1.1.3 I was able to activate the phone using the metadoctor and enable 3G by changing the APN in the CarrierSettings database (as it has only the business vodafone one there). I had a properly working Pre.
    When 1.3.1 came out, I applied the update and since,I haven't been able to get a working 3G connection. Neither the old way of modifying the CarrierSettings file, or using the new setting for manual APN settings works. I've enabled some debugging, and it seems during IPCP negotiations, the ConfReq id=0x1are never replied to by vodafone. 
    This is my first Palm, and was really happy with it, and whilst I *am* aware I'm using the phone not quite as yet intended, I still do think this is a serious issue. Is there anyone here or @Palm who might have a clue what is going wrong? I am willing and able to modify/replace any of the relevant files and add/provide any logging required.
    Help! Please :-)

    Post relates to: Pre p100ueu (O2)

    Hi, Ozuzo.
    I'm suffering the same problem here. Like you, I've bought an unlocked German Pre that I'm using in Vodafone Spain. I bought the phone at http://www.expansys.es, where they say the phone comes unlocked from factory, so I think it should be under support. Since 12/26 (at least), Ithe 3G connection is not working well. The phone is disconnected most of the time, but the signal comes from time to time.
    I have entered the phone through novaterm, and I have found something interesting:

    The 3G connection is lost when the 0 bps down messages appear.  
    I think this firmware update is the culprit of the bad behaivoir, but it would be nice to confirm it with someone from Palm.
