The disappearing JPanel

Hi All,
I have a problem with a Jpanel and a JeditorPane, both are contained within a Jdialog.
The JeditorPane is used to display and HTML result of xml/xslt just display no inter action.
The Jpanel is rendered ontop of the JeditorPane with smaller red bordered panels contained within the jpanel.
when the user clicks in the smaller red panel s/he can edit the html the problem is when i return from the editor form to the jdialog with the Jpanel and Jeditor pane sometimes the jpanel disappears and i can only see the jeditor with the update contents.
I have tried combenations of revalidate and refreshes as well as show hide sequences i have also set the jdialogs layout to nulle and then after each content edit set the bounds of the jpanel and jeditor in an attempt to have the jpanel render ontop of the jeditor pane. But to no success
Any help or directions is appreciated
Cheers Wurns

How about design like this

JEditorPanel JButtonPanel
When you update JEditorPanel, you forgot to add jpanel inside,
although I don't know the update method look like. Everytime you update,
you have to add jpanel like the first time, would you like to do that???
I hope I understand correctly.

    Try one or more of the following:
    > Restart Your Computer
    > Uninstall and Reinstall iTunes
    > Reset iPod (nothing will get deleted)
    > Look in My Computer (Windows 98, XP) OR Computer (Windows Vista or 7) and see if your iPod is in there.
    In some cases (and this happened to me before) plug your iPod in and out your computer a few times. It should get it going. If not, then I strongly recommend starting your computer.

  • How do you have two classes drawing to the same JPanel? Graphics g problem

    Hi all,
    This is probably a five second answer but im really stuck on it!
    How do i have two classes both writing to the same JPanel?
    I have one class that extends JPanel and using Graphics g, draws to the panel ie g.drawString(..);
    But i would like another class to draw to the same panel, so that the two different classes can both draw what they like to the JPanel.
    How do i do this?
    I have tried sending the Graphics g object from the one class to the other but only the original class draws still. I was thinking perhaps if it carn't be done could i have a JPanel on top of the other one that is transparent so there would be a tracing paper effect?
    Many thanks

    I have tried sending the Graphics g object from the
    one class to the other but only the original class
    draws still. I was thinking perhaps if it carn't beThis is the right idea. One problem you may be running into is that JPanel fills in its background with the background color by default. If you switch and use JComponent instead of JPanel you may get better results. Another idea is to use a "painter": a class that has a paint(Graphics g) but is not a component and just paints on a component. I've done this before in implementing Tetris where the dropping piece is a class which can paint itself but is not a component.

  • The Case of the Disappearing Documents

    The first time this happened to me, I figured I was just
    imagining things. Now that's it's happened to me a second time, I
    am certain that my imagination has nothing to do with it.
    I am working in Captivate 2 in an XP (SP2) environment. I've
    completed about a dozen projects successfully using Captivate 1 and
    am in the midst of creating my first project in version 2.
    I've created a Captivate 2 document with less than a dozen
    slides. I experience the disappearing menus problem quite
    frequently -- perhaps every half hour or so while using the program
    (I haven't tried the clicking on the library item trick yet, but
    will the next time it happens). Typically I click on the Save
    button and quit out of the program whenever it happens. One time
    when I did that, the CP file went missing from the folder it was
    saved in. Completely missing.
    The file icon itself was not in the Folder. The file name was
    no longer listed on the launch window of the program, nor was it
    listed in the File menu as a recently opened file. I know I am not
    crazy and figured the file had to be somewhere on my hard drive, so
    I started searching for files of a certain size which were updated
    in the last day. I actually located the file, which had been
    renamed renamed with a .tmp extension (and gobbledygook before the
    extension). I only recognized the file because of its size and when
    I hovered my mouse pointer over it, the document's name from the
    Properties dialog box showed up in a tool tip. I was able to open
    the file, rename it, and resume using it.
    I figured it was just a fluke...but now it's happened a
    second time, albeit slightly different circumstances. The program
    froze and BAM! the file completely disappeared. Again, I searched
    my hard drive and was able to locate the file.
    So now, I save a copy of my file about every half-hour in a
    separate folder...because I cannot afford to lose more than a
    half-hours' work. I am very worried about the stability of this
    product. Does anybody have any ideas regarding this issue?

    I don't know if version 3 will be any better, but I have my
    doubts. I am totally embarrassed about my failure to be able to
    complete this project on time for my client due to all of these
    issues. As a freelancer, the ability to make my clients' deadlines
    and provide a high-quality end product is crucial to my continued
    success. I am furious with Adobe for this product's instability.

    Several folks on our team have had the same issue. The files

    space... and using std naming convention for files (no special
    characters etc).
    Unfortunatly, missed deadlines and extra non-billing hours
    will result in staffing issues and different purchasing decisions
    in the next fiscal year. Some folks are saying ... why did Adobe
    drop the "R" when they released Captivate2.
    Is Captivate3 really going to be any better? If so... how
    about a free upgrade for all of use who suffered through
    Captivate2? It's really tough to justify the expense of Captivate3
    to our bosses when all they have seen are the problems with
    Captiavte2.

  • Two jpanels, after disableing button s-times it appears on the top jpanel

    I create two JPanels. The first JPanel contains JButton, the second JPanl contains overrided paintComponent - it's a simple background.
    Firstly I add 1st jpanel to jframe, then I add the second jpanel with a background image. Then I disable a button and sometime this button appears on top of the second jpanel.
    Resources:
    background.png - 1280x1024x24
    b_h & b_n .png - 122x120x24
    I think that when I make a thread where then I will disable a button, it will appear on top of the second jpanel.

    Hi Alcrouchy,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are describing. If the screen appears to be sliding downward (leaving a blank portion at the top), you may be seeing the Reachability feature of iOS 8 on the iPhone 6/6 Plus. It is intended to make it easier to reach elements towards the top of the screen on the larger iPhones, and is activated by a double tap (not press) on the Home button. There is a bit more about it on this Design page about the iPhone 6:

  • Is there a solution to the disappearing cursor problem yet?

    Recently upgraded my 12 core to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard to install Media Composer. The disappearing changing cursor is driving me batty. Also My ProTools installation has become very unstable. It sometimes stops processing for about 30 seconds until it decides to access the hard drive (Not sure if it's my media drive or the system drive, both are inside the case) Any thoughts? I still have my old Snow Leopard partition so I am considering installing MC on that instead to see if that works. I can't believe this problem is still rampant. Pardon my sarcasm but I think a basic mouse function might be something you would appreaciate in a new OS. Silly me.

    With all the issues you describe, I would search for something conflicting with Mountain Lion.
    Have you booted into Safe Mode and checked to see if it works correctly there? It will take a while to boot, and it will run a bit slow, so just look for the issues you described above. If they don't appear, you've got something installed that is causing the issues.

  • The Disappearing Image

    Unfortunatly, I have a large problem I am baffled with. I'm trying to create a Galaxian clone, and am having problem with the animation. I need the little ships to move left & right, and when they reach the screen bounds (0.0, or screenSize.width()), to move down one and move the opposite direction.
    The problem is that after about 5 slow cycles, the images disappear. Completely! I don't know what in the world the problem, but any help at all would be more than appreciated.
    Also, suggestions on how to speed things up would help too.

    Rather than plough through you code, take a look at this - you can copy and paste it, then plough through mine instead!
    From what I can gather from your code, I think its largely similar - a moving object and a shooter, yes? Any way copy, paste, compile and see. It draws an oval alien rather than uses an image, but it definitely doesn't go out of bounds, its also not completely finished I sort of got it working and as a result got bored once the heavy duty stuff was done - have fun!import java.awt.*;

  • The case of the disappearing Movies?

    OK, just got a new 22" IMac and Sync'd it up to the Apple TV. It started syncing and I went to sleep as I knew it would take hours.... Well when I checked it in the morning the Apple TV would not show up in the devices. So I updated everything on both the Apple TV and the IMac and it showed up just fine. However the real problem is about 6 movies have suddenly disappeared from the Apple TV and are NOT on the attempted sync'd computer. You should have heard the wails of despair from the 3 year old when he couldn't find Cars anywhere... Anyone??? How can I get my content back???

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    Check for the content in your itunes folders, unless you have physically removed it it may just not be linked to the itunes library, if it's there you can drag it back to the itunes window.

  • Latest security update and the disappearance of my external drive

    I'm sure you're going to tell me that one has nothing to do with the other, but after running the latest security update, the Iomega MiniMax external drive that's been connected to my TiBook for the last 3 years has all of a sudden disappeared from my desktop.
    System profiler sees it, Disk Utilities sees it. But there are a couple of things bugging me:
    - I'd never paid attention before, but both the System profiler and DU indicated that SMART is not supported
    - When I ran DU (off the OSX install disk) to try to repair the HD, I got the following message:
    +Invalid node structre+
    +Volume check failed+
    (these 2 lines in red type)
    +Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit+
    (this in bold, red type)
    +1 HFS volume checked+
    +1 volume could not be repaired because of an error+
    I think that was in red, too, but can't swear to it, as I'm totally rattled by now.
    Now, there is no system on the Iomega, nothing but precious photos and music (since the original HD on this TiBook could only hold 30 Gb), and I'm at a loss as to why all of a sudden I can't access it. Whenever I've come back from a trip, I just plug the external back in (via firewire and usb), and it would just show up, as if nothing had happened.
    Any ideas, any help would be, as usual, most appreciated.
    Thank you all.

    I realize I'm getting 'way off this thread, but wanted to post back. I brought the Iomega to work, plugged it into my iMac and… nothing. Running DU gave me the same results as posted above. Then, for want of a better idea, I pulled out the install disk for the iMac, started up off that and ran DU.
    Guess what? It went through its verifications, came up with problems and then proceeded to repair the external. And that wonderful little orange icon was there on my desktop at startup!
    There shouldn't be any difference; my guess is it just happened to pick that time to mount. Sometimes a HD with issues will not mount 10+ times in a row, then, for whatever reason, it does on the eleventh try.
    There's a new folder in the Iomega now, called "lost+found", weighing in at a little over a Mb and full of files ending with ".nib". Any idea what those are and if I need to keep them?
    Hmmm, Google search turns up this from wiki:
    Interface Builder is a software development application for Apple's Mac OS X operating system. It is part of Xcode (formerly Project Builder), the Apple Developer Connection developer's toolset. Interface Builder allows Cocoa and Carbon developers to create interfaces for applications using a graphical user interface. The resulting interface is stored as a .nib file, short for NeXT Interface Builder, or more recently, as a .xib file.
    Do you use Xcode?
    Another hit mentions iPhone, and another Corel. Don't know what to make of it in your case. Can you open any of the files? Any have same name as your data? Creation dates?
    I shall now proceed to back up before reformatting.
    Good plan.
    And check out the cost of a replacement here (they're a good bit higher than in the States.
    Ask yourself what your data is worth, and after it's gone, what you would have spent to have retained it. My guess is the answer would be a lot more than the cost of a HD.
    Do I want a SATA?
    Nope, TiBook doesn't have that interface.
    I liked this model because it also worked as a hub… There are so many flavors out there now!
    Indeed.
    er, ahem, that's a sheepish "yes".
    'Nuff said.
    A while back, thanks to you and other forum members, I'd gathered up the courage to swap out the original HD for the biggest one the PB could take, and had always meant to to a "backward" backup of the stuff that was on the external — or copying photos onto CDs. Needless to say, the task got put off until this scare. Won't be doing that again.
    I considered myself "lucky" the first time I lost data, as it wasn't too, too important, but it taught me a lesson I've never forgotten.
    So, once again, thanks for the hand-holding (you had also talked me through/encouraged me to deal with the tight hinges on the TiBook).
    You're welcome. Together with RAM and HD, that was the best thing I ever did for my TiBook.
    Love this forum!
    We aims to please!

  • Can't (re)install Apps after the disappeared from my iPhone!

    I have a problem with installing (or reinstalling) two applications on my iPhone. The two apps are Google Earth and Remote.
    I have had the two apps installed and working perfectly fine. But someday Remote was missing from my springboard, and now today Google Earth has disappeared from my iPhone. But the apps are stilling in iTunes, and are listed as installed through App Store. So therefore I can't reinstall them from App Store, before deleting them first from iTunes.
    But here is the actually problem. When I enter my iTunes account password the download of the app starts as it should and then continues to install it. But when the blue status/progress bar reaches the end or 100%. It freezes or stop to finish of the installation. It just keep saying “installing...” with the blue status bar filled out. It can continues to do this for as long as don't try to install a new app or preform any task on my iPhone! WEIRD! I really don't get it.
    And the weird thing is that's only these two apps that does this. I can install new apps or reinstall old ones with no problem at all.
    Does anyone here experienced the same problem, or do someone have a possible solution to this problem?
    Thanks.

    A restore won't get rid of the problem!!! **** crappy ****.
    Is there anyway to send this question too Apple? Or do i have to spend the next hours on the phone with Apple Support?!

  • Mac Mini and the Mystery of the disappearing resolution

    I've had my Mini for about a month now. It is connected via a Belkin KVM switch to a Yuraku 22-inch VGA monitor. All has been well and the Mini has been outputting at the maximum supported resolution of 1680x1050. Until the weekend.
    Now it will only output at 1400x1050, which I noticed it had switched to when I booted it up at the weekend. System Preferences offers 1920x1280 as the maximum resolution and several 1400xYYY options, but nothing with 1650 horizontal.
    As far as I know nothing has changed on the Mini. I did remotely control the Mini from my Thinkpad last week (1440x990 screen) via LogMeIn. Whilst I can understand that the resolution might be temporarily changed, why has the 1680x1050 resolution completely disappeared from the display options?

    No, it's the Belkin Flip: http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=267041

  • Mystery of the Disappearing Custom Icons

    iMac 2.66; 10.6.4
    I create simple custom icon labels for the docs & folders in my dock. I type a filename in TextEdit, take a screenshot of it, open the screenshot in GraphicConverter, and copy & paste it into the getinfo window of the doc or folder. Then I drag it to the dock. Now and then, with no pattern or seeming cause, the custom icons on one or more disappear. Some never disappear. Sometimes it'll be weeks with no problem, sometimes hours. I repair permissions twice a week without fail. I have no other issues going on. Anyone know why this is happening? I've searched the fora but can't find similar problems.

  • I am running OS X 10.7.3 and now Outlook 2010 will not open. It flashes quickly and the disappears.

    I am running OSX version 10.7.3 and Outlook 2010on a Mac Book Pro. When I attempt to open Outlook, it bounces and then flashes quickly on the screen but then quickly disappears.

    Make sure Microsoft Office is up to date. You can do this buy going to Help menu and "Check for updates". If that doesn't resolve it I would recommend removing it and reinstalling it.
