Tab Content Alignment in JTabbedPane

I want to left-align the contents of the tabs on my JTabbedPane, so that the icons all line up. Does anyone have a procedure for doing this?

Nope. All my tabs are on the left hand side.
What I want is a way to put the contents of the tabs aligned left as well.
When the tabs are placed on the left or the right, they are all automatically sized the same as the widest tab.
When content is put into the tabs, it is centered on the tab. This makes the icons appear out of alignment and messy, because not all of the titles are the same length.
I need a way to ensure (despite the width of the tab) that the content is left-aligned. This would make the icons all line up.

Adding a new Tab to an existing JTabbedPane not working

Hello all,
I am trying to add & display a new tab to an existing JTabbedPane when the user
clicks on a button. For some reason the new tab, being added is not being displayed, and I don't know why. I have called invalidate(), validate() on the parent containers but haven't had any luck. I have also played around with SwingUtilities.invokeLater() and the Event thread, but have been unsuccessfull.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

MS,
Try copying one existing TAB and use that, this happens only when there is improper xml content. You can open the xml in the browser/visual studio for better clarity and then try making the changes. Doing IIS Reset will be required but in the meanwhile you
can put the original RCDC which will work till the time you make any change in new TAB.

I cannot access the PRIVACY menu from the Tools-Options menu to make changes to cookies and history. I can access every other menu on that page (General, Tabs, Content, Applications, Security, and Advanced. But Not PRIVACY. Please help.

I need to reset/change/clear my cookies, probably clear my cache, and change my history preferences. When I use the Tools-Options choice to bring up the appropriate menu (General, Tabs, Content, Applications, Privacy, Security,and Advanced) all allow me access to make changes (or not), the PRIVACY tab does not open up. It does no allow access to any info contained there in. It is like it doesn't exist or isn't even there. Also, in the Tools menu on the Firefox toolbar, both "Stop Private Browsing" and "Clear Recent History" are grayed out. What gives? Thank you for your help.

This can be caused by in incompatible/malfunctioning add-on. To test if this is the case follow the procedure in the [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.

Display tab content in Developer Studio 7.1

Hello all,
I've updated to Developer Studio 7.1 and imported my Web Dynpro Project from 7.0. So far, so good!
But, if I want to display the tab contents of my main view, I only can see the content of the 1st tab in the View Editor.
How can the content of the other tabs be displayed in the View Editor? Double-Click on each tab doesn't work... Is there any trick?
Regards,
Jens

In the Outline view, right-click the "Tab" and select "Show".

Tab content is empty when tab is dragged

I have two TabPanes which can move tabs each other. This is the code of the TabPane which receives the dragged tabs from the user:
tabPane.setOnDragDropped(new EventHandler<DragEvent>()
            @Override
            public void handle(DragEvent event)
                final Dragboard dragboard = event.getDragboard();
                if (dragboard.hasString()
                        && TAB_DRAG_KEY.equals(dragboard.getString())
                        && DragBuffer.getDraggingTab().get() != null
                        && DragBuffer.getDraggingTab().get().getTabPane() != tabPane)
                    final Tab tab = DragBuffer.getDraggingTab().get();
                    tab.getTabPane().getTabs().remove(tab);
                    tabPane.getTabs().add(tab);
                    tabPane.getSelectionModel().select(tab);
                    event.setDropCompleted(true);
                    DragBuffer.getDraggingTab().set(null);
                    event.consume();
I noticed that when I drag the tab into the target TabPane the content of the tab is empty. But when I swith to the next tab of the target tabPane and return back I can see the content. This is couced by this line:
tab.getTabPane().getTabs().remove(tab);
Can you tell me how I can change the logic in order to prevent the empty tab body?
Ref javafx 2 - Tab content is empty when tab is dragged - Stack Overflow

This looks like a bug; I see the same thing in the context of your other thread. I can't seem to find a workaround. I have some sample code below which demonstrates the same problem without cluttering the code with drag and drop. This should move the selected tab in the bottom tapPane to the top tabPane ("Up" button) or the selected tab in the top tabPane to the bottom tabPane ("Down" button). When a tab is moved it is automatically selected; moving a tab to the top tabPane fails to show its content. (Strangely, moving a tab to the bottom tabPane works fine.) You should probably file a JIRA; reference this thread ("discussion" in the new forum-speak).

Content Alignment = Justify In text Box

Dear Friend,
i have text Area Item for description .Here i want content alignment justify in that Text Area.
How can i alighnment in Text Box.
Thanks
Edited by: Vedant on Sep 16, 2011 4:32 AM

Hello,
if by text box you mean a standard textarea item then i'm afraid you can't do that.
It might be possibel if you use a rich text editor item.

Change tab navigation keys in JTabbedPane

OK, what's the trick here?
I need to map a different pair of keys (replacing the default right/left keys) to manage tab selection in a JTabbedPane.
Anybody have some insight into this?

Well, as is so often the case after posting something, I found a discussion of a similiar issue with a JTable using a custom UI to manage keyboard assignments and this is working fine.
Except that now the selected tab color isn't getting set ...

Data tab content blank in debugging

Hello,
On sql developer 3222009
At debugging a plsql store procedure, everything is doing well but when the code go to an internal procedure the data tab content became blank.
Thnaks
Nelson

Jeff
Internal procedure that I mean is a procedure inside a procedure, like a inner procedure.
When we are in the "main" procedure the content appear normally but when the control of execution goes to one inner procedure, the content of the data tab is in blank, empty.
Thanks

Content Alignment in webdynpro iView based on user language

Hi,
We have a webdynpro application which has a search screen
(Arabic as well as English), based on the user language setting in Portal UME, the respective language text with options are displayed.
This webdynpro application runs on same WAS where Portal is running.
When we test this application standalone like typing the URL of the webdynpro application, it shows english text with Left to right aligned content in browser for <b>user X with Language as EN</b>.
When we test this application standalone like typing the URL of the webdynpro application, it shows arabic text with Right to Left aligned content in browser for <b>user Y with Language as Arabic</b>.It works fine when it is stand alone (when we directly run the webdynpro).
<b>We created a WebDynpro iView in Portal, and we tested with user <i>Y (whose language is set to Arabic),</i> issue is text is properly displayed in Arabic, but the content alignment is left to right, which should be Right to Left</b>.
Please let me know your solution/thought to the above mentioned issue/problem.
Thanks
Senthil

Hi,
The webdynpro application works fine (alignment and content is fine)when i access it directly.
When i create a webdynpro iView and run it inside portal it is not working fine (alignment is LTR instead of RTL)
I went through the SAP help <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6e/8aae409567942ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm">RTL Alignment</a>and tried creating new themes and created a new desktop and assigned it to the user. It is still the same with LTR alignment.
The issue is, why it is not working inside PRT, when it works fine inside WebDynpro Runtime.
Thanks
Senthil

Programatically disclosing tab does not cause tab contents to be displayed

I'm using Jdev 11g, update 2.
I have a page with a panelStretchLayout. The Start facet has a tree component. The Center facet has a panelTabbed component with 2 showDetailItems, each with different panelForms.
Manually clicking on the tabs shows the correct contents.
The tree has a SelectionListener mapped to a managed bean method. When a node is selected, the bean method sets one of the showDetailItems to disclosed.
There is PRR for the showDetailItems based on the tree.
This code does cause the right tab to become current. The problem is that the tab contents do not also display IF that tab was not previously the disclosed one.
An example:
Tree shows Departments & Employees, The first tab shows the selected Dept from the tree in a form, the other shows the selected Employee from the tree in a form.
When the page is run, the Dept tab is disclosed by default because it is the first one.
Select a Dept in the tree. The Dept tab remains disclosed and the correct Dept is displayed.
Select an Emp in the tree. The Emp tab become disclosed but it is blank. The Emp form does not appear.
Select a Dept in the tree to reset tabs.
Now manually click the Employee tab. The Employee formis displayed correctly with the last Emp selcted from the tree.
Select a Dept in the tree. Now the Dept tab becomes disclosed but it is blank.
My first thought was that this is a PRR problem with the tab children. But I've tried setting PRR on the panelForms so they are refreshed when the showDetailItems are refreshed. That didn't help.
I've also tried setting the rendered and visible properties for the tab child (form) programatically. No luck.
My current code for the selectionListener is:
public void setSelData(SelectionEvent selevt)
RichTree tree = (RichTree)selevt.getSource();
RowKeySet sel = tree.getSelectedRowKeys();
Iterator seliter = sel.iterator();
while (seliter.hasNext())
Object rowKey = seliter.next();
tree.setRowKey(rowKey);
FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding node =
(FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding)tree.getRowData();
String viewDefName = node.getHierTypeBinding().getStructureDefName();
if (viewDefName.contains("Dept"))
setSelDeptNo((oracle.jbo.domain.Number)node.getAttribute("Deptno"));
OperationBinding ob =
(OperationBinding)bindings.get("setCurrentRowWithKeyValue1");
ob.execute();
} else
setSelEmpId((oracle.jbo.domain.Number)node.getAttribute("Empno"));
OperationBinding ob =
(OperationBinding)bindings.get("setCurrentRowWithKeyValue");
ob.execute();
if (viewDefName.contains("Dept"))
panTab.getChildren().get(0).getAttributes().put("disclosed", false);
panTab.getChildren().get(1).getAttributes().put("disclosed", true);
empsTab.setDisclosed(false);
empsTab.setDisabled(true);
deptsTab.setDisabled(false);
deptsTab.setDisclosed(true);
} else
deptsTab.setDisclosed(false);
deptsTab.setDisabled(true);
empsTab.setDisabled(false);
empsTab.setDisclosed(true);*/
panTab.getChildren().get(1).getAttributes().put("disclosed", false);
panTab.getChildren().get(0).getAttributes().put("disclosed", true);
}

That was it. I don't need to set up PPR for the showDetailItems either - just the panelTabbed. I'll remember to walk up and try PPR on all the parent components next time. Thanks.

Links to spry tab content

Within one html file divided into Spry-tabs, I set a named
anchor in tab-content <div> of one tab and try to link to it
from within a different tab-content division of the same page.
Doesn't work - just sends me to bottom of division in the which
link is located. Surely this is doable -- Am I missing some simple
point?

You have to know which tab the anchor is within and then you
can show a specific tab. Check out the code on this page:

Now the problem is how to include grid.mxml as a tab content?
can anyone please help me with this?
Thnaks in advance

Hi Otto,
The view usage name is the name of the view suffixed with '_usage_1'.
eg: if your static view name is 'V_STATIC' then the view usage name would be 'V_STATIC_USAGE_1'.
if you want to navigate to the view automatically then use the method do_dynamic_navigation, however this shouldn't be used within the method wddomodifyview( ).
if you are using prepare_dynamic_navigation( ) then the outbound plug needs to be fired explicitely.
Hence you can save your view reference as a global attribute the first time the application is loaded and later on use it in any method to create dynamic ui elements and finally call the method do_dynamic_navigation, in this way we wouldn't be doing navigation from within wddomodifyview.

Shweta
