Using JOptionPane within DragDropEnd

Trying to invoke JOptionPane from within DragDropEnd method (DragSourceListener interface), but seems to get into a race condition where the popup frame is displayed but the actual components are not and the whole application gets locked up.
Code looks something like
public void dragDropEnd(DragSourceDropEvent evt){
if drop was successful
if nothing left in the list where this was dragged from
popup an option pane asking if they want to do something
endif
endif

I encountered the same problem. It seems to me that during DnD operation displaing some GUI elements causes this problem.
I tried this and it appeared to work fine:
/** DropTargetListener interface method - What we do when drag is released */
public void drop(DropTargetDropEvent e) {
    //first of all - finish dnd
    e.dropComplete(true);
    //make some JOptionPane stuff here and then make or not the appropriate action of dnd
}ToC

Using JOptionPane to exit program & Using toString method

Hello,
In my program I have to use a toString method below
public String toString(Hw1NCBEmployee[] e)
        String returnMe = String.format(getStoreName() + "\n" + getStoreAddress() + "\n" + getCityState() + "\nYou have " + getEmpCount() + "employee(s)");
        return returnMe;
}Now, at first, when I initially tested my code, it was working just fine, printing out the right way
Point is -- now that Im practically finished with my program, and am going back and running it - calling the toString method gives me the address rather than the information . . . Can anyone help me with this issue??
Also, Im using JOptionPane to display everything, but -- at first, it worked fine, then (around the same time I started having the above problem) it stopped exiting the do-while loop:
while(go)
             int option = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, "Do you want to enter employee information?", "Welcome!", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
                 if(option == JOptionPane.NO_OPTION)
                    go = false; //exit loop


ncjb wrote:
well, for the toString - I have to print out the info inside the array -- am I right in thinking that the only way to do this is to pass in the array ??If the array is part of the class then there is no need to pass it as a parameter. If it is being passed in from outside the class then I have to question your design. Why should class X being formatting data that is not a representation of itself?
and i have 2 other files that go with this program . . . I just want to know if there is a way to make sure that when the user presses the NO option, it will exit the loop -- the piece of code you see if apart of an entire method (not long) -- do you want me to include this??You read that link I provided REAL quick!

How to use ShowValue within a UIX/JSP page to display an active link?

I am storing URL's in the DB and want to display them as active links on a UIX/JSP page. I thought that I had this working some time ago, but now it no longer works.
Using <bc4juix:RenderValue datasource="ds1" dataitem="myTextField" /> will display "http://www.otn.oracle.com" as an inactive link using UIX/XML which is expected.
Using <jbo:ShowValue datasource="ds1" dataitem="myTextField" /> will display an active link using if using BC4J/JSP, which is expected.
However, I have not been able to do this using a UIX/JSP page.
Is it possible to use ShowValue within a UIX/JSP page to display an active link?
Thanks,

HI Ana ...
I had FB working again two days ago, and yesterday in mid-serve Safari just "couldn't find the server" once more...
That's a different issue...
First, if you can just use English, open System Preferences > Language & Text then select the Language tab. Drag English to the top of the list then restart your Mac.
Now for the server issue. Try using Open DNS. That shold help the "couldn't find the server" issue...
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.
Try accessing Facebook on Safari now.

Using variables within GETurl

Having issues with getting a simple script working...
I've created a 'flashvars' tag in my embed code (aid=test), which I simply wish to add to the end a GetUrl statement, contained in within a button (which is on the first level of the flash movie). This is the code I've added to the button...
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.platinumselect.com?id="+aid);
But this doesnt seem to work!? Is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks in advance! (p.s. using actionscript 2.0)

Where are the 3 places?? I've got it in two at the minute.

Subject: Using variables within GETurl
in as2, there is no LoaderInfo class and you don't need to do anything in flash to parse the flashvars.
but, as i mentioned in a duplicate post, you do need to define your flashvars in 3 places in your embedding html file. failure to do that is the most common reason for a problem with flashvars.

Using JOptionPane in a non-event dispatching thread

I am currently working on a screen that will need to called and displayed from a non-event dispatching thread. This dialog will also capture a user's selection and then use that information for later processing. Therefore, the dialog will need to halt the current thread until the user responds.
To start, I tried using the JOptionPane.showInputDialog() method and set the options to a couple of objects. JOptionPane worked as advertised. It placed the objects into a combobox and allowed the user to select one of them. However, it also gave me something unexpected. It actually paused the non-event handling thread until the user had made a selection. This was done without the JOptionPane code being wrapped in a SwingUtilities.invokeLater() or some other device that would force it to be launched from an Event Handling Thread.
Encouraged, I proceeded to use JOptionPane.showInputDialog() substituting the "message" Object with a fairly complex panel (JRadioButtons, JLists, JTextFields, etc.) that would display all of the variety of choices for the user. Now, when the screen pops up, it doesn't paint correctly (like what commonly occurs when try to perform a GUI update from a non-event dispatching thread) and the original thread continues without waiting for a user selection (which could be made if the screen painted correctly).
So, here come the questions:
1) Is what I am trying to do possible? Is it possible to create a fairly complex GUI panel and use it in one of the static JOptionPane.showXXXDialog() methods?
2) If I can't use JOptionPane for this, should I be able to use JDialog to perform the same type function?
3) If I can use JDialog or JFrame and get the threading done properly, how do I get the original thread to wait for the user to make a selection before proceeding?
I have been working with Java and Swing for about 7-8 years and have done some fairly complex GUIs, but for some reason, I am stumped here. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

This seems wierd that it is functioning this way. Generally, this is what is supposed to happen. If you call a JOptionPane.show... from the Event Dispatch Thread, the JOptionPane will actually begin processing events that normally the Event Dispatch Thread would handle. It does this until the user selects on options.
If you call it from another thread, it uses the standard wait and notify.
It could be that you are using showInputDialog for this, try showMessageDialog and see if that works. I believe showInputDialog is generally used for a single JTextField and JLabel.

Trying to print a list using JOptionPane

I am very new to Java and programming, so please forgive me if this should be apparent. I wrote a program for school which was for ordering pizzas. I wrote it as a console program and after much frustration it finally worked. Now I am trying to change it to a GUI program using JOptionPane. I was hoping that since I already had the logic written and working, I could focus on the GUI aspect. I was wrong. I want to print a list of enums on a JOptionPane and cannot figure out how to do it My code in the console program was:
System.out.println("The available crust styles are: ");
     for(Pizza.Style style : Pizza.Style.values())
          System.out.println(style+" ");
So how can I iterate through the for loop to list all of the styles in the JOptionPane? Do I need to turn it into a method with a return and then cal the method like
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, crustMethod()); ??

OP said:
... Now I am trying to change it to a GUI program using JOptionPane. I was hoping that since I already had the logic written and working, I could focus on the GUI aspect. I was wrong. ...I wouldn't use JOptionPane. You need JFrame and maybe, but I doubt it, a JDialog. OP, the GUI is more than likely to be nothing more than a form that allows users to set certain properties or fields in a Java class. For example let's say we have this class.
public class Point
public int x;
public int y;
}Then a GUI for this would be something like a JPanel with two (2) JLabels and two (2) JTextFields. Maybe something like so...
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class PointGUI extends JPanel
public JLabel xLabel = new JLabel("Coordinate X:");
public JLabel yLabel = new JLabel("Coordinate Y:");
public JTextField xField = new JTextField(4);
public JTextField yField = new JTextField(4);
public PointGUI(){
    setLayout(new GridLayout(2, 2));
    add(xLabel);
    add(xField);
    add(yLabel);
    add(yField);
}Then to run the program...
import javax.swing.*;
public class Test
public static void main(String[] args){
    SwingUtitlities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
      public void run(){
        PointGUI gui = new PointGUI();
        JFrame f = new JFrame("PointGUI");
        f.getContentPane().add(gui, "Center");
        f.pack();
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(f.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.setVisible(true);
}... actually all the program does is display the GUI. But, can you see that the GUI's JLabels and JTextFields describe all the public properties of the Point class? Can you see that the entire GUI can be placed anywhere in a JFrame, or maybe even in a JDialog? From this point on, you can add other functions and features to your classes, GUI's and the main apps that run them.
A hint on your project, you may need to write a Pizza class that decribes all the things a single pizza can be - then come up with a GUI for that and an app that runs it.

The buttons in main the vi get locked after opening a vi reference in a subpanel and using buttons within the subpanel.

I am trying to open a reference to a vi in the subpanel of the main vi. However after the vi opens in the subpanel and after pressing a few buttons in the subpanel the buttons in the main vi get locked, i.e. I can't even close the main vi or control anything else. Is there any way how I can avoid this happening?

This is most likely happening because in either the top or sub panel,
there is an event structure that is queuing events, and is set to lock
the panel until the events are handled, and because of the logic in the
diagram, the events aren't being pulled from the queue.
So, you have a deadlock. You are waiting
on the panel. The panel is
waiting on the diagram. And the diagram is waiting on something else.
So, if there are indeed event structures involved, determine where in
the diagram things are delaying. Also, if you do not need the panel to
lock until the event is handled, you can change the setting in the
events dialog on the structure. But the events will still be queued
until the diagram starts executing.

Deleting a MS Access database table record using JOptionPane

hi!
just want some help here..
is there a way to delete a MS Access database record through using JOptionPane?? i've gone through some, probably alot of examples on SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE statements but none came up to the stuff i need.
so far i've seen the DELETE statement like this and also this is a common DELETE statement..
statement.executeUpdate("DELETE FROM tableName WHERE fieldName01 = 'blablabla' AND fieldName02 = 'etcetcetc'");like INSERT, there's a coding somewhat like this:
String asd = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter blablabla stuff");
statement.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO whatEverTableName (tableFieldName) VALUES('"+asd.getText()+"')");so, is it possible using the same method for DELETE??
help and advices are appreciated in advanced..

Here's how I did it. Research does help, but sometimes looking at others code does too... You do have to have a dummy file that you made with access though. You can't just make a file file.mdb (it will be corrupt)
     public void createDatabase(String database) throws SQLException{
          try{
               // This file needs to have been created with MS Access
               File dbfile = new File(this.dataBaseDir + "dummy.mdb");
               // This is the new database file being made
               File newFile = new File(this.dataBaseDir + database + ".mdb");
               // Copy all bytes from dummy file to new DB file.
               FileInputStream instream = new FileInputStream(dbfile);
               FileOutputStream ostream = new FileOutputStream(newFile);
               int numBytes = instream.available();
               byte inBytes[] = new byte[numBytes];
               instream.read(inBytes, 0, numBytes);
               ostream.write(inBytes, 0, numBytes);
          catch(FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace();}
          catch(IOException e) { e.printStackTrace();}
          if(DEBUG) System.out.println("creating the " + database + " database");

Comple errors using JOptionPane

I'm trying to write a Java program using JOptionPane dialog/display boxes that reads an integer and checks whether it is even using true/false statements. I also want the program must check if the number the user entered is between 1 and 1000.
I haven't found alot of help in the book I have and i've found some help in another forum but it doesn't seem to compile well, I get the following errors:
IntegerRead.java:39: cannot find symbol
symbol : method valueOf(java.lang.String)
location: class Integer
int number = Integer.valueOf(s);

symbol : class Scanner
location: class Integer
Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );
^
Integer.java:13: cannot find symbol
symbol : class Scanner
location: class Integer
Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );
Here is the code:
// Assignment 2.1: IntegerRead.java
// This program reads an integer, checks if it's even and is between 1 and 1000.
import javax.swing.JOptionPane; // program uses class JOptionPane
public class IntegerRead
public static boolean isNumber(String args)
if(args.length() > 3)
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid argument");
else
boolean isNumber = false;
for(int i = 0; i < args.length(); i++)
char c = args.charAt(i);
if(Character.isDigit(c))
isNumber = true;
else
isNumber = false;
return isNumber;
public static boolean isEven(int aNumber)
int a = aNumber & 1;
return (a == 0);
public static void main(String args[])
String s = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter number between 0 to 999");
System.out.println("Is Number " + isNumber(s));
if(isNumber(s))
int number = Integer.valueOf(s);
System.out.println("Number " + number + "is Even " + isEven(number));
for(int i = 0; i < 999; i++)
System.out.println(i + " is " + isEven(i));
I know i'm missing very simple. I'm new and have tried to build upon what I have so far, but I can't figure it out.
Thanks....

You have a class named Integer somewhere on your class path. Get rid of it or rename it. If you've already renamed your Integer.java file, you still need to delete the Integer.class file. You should never create your own class that has the same name as a class in the standard java.lang package.

Using JOptionPane.showInputDialog to return an integer

I am currently using JOptionPane to return a string from the Object array i made with all possible choices.
     private static boolean determineService(){
          JLabel label;
          label=new JLabel("Please select which Service Model to use.",JLabel.CENTER);
          Object[] possibilities = {"AddressCleanse", "VIN", "PostalCode"};
          serviceModel = (String)JOptionPane.showInputDialog(
                              null,
                              label,
                              "Select Service",
                              JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE,null,
                              possibilities,
                              "AddressCleanse");
//          If a string was returned, say so.
          if ((serviceModel != null) && (serviceModel.length() > 0)) {
              System.out.println("You've selected " + serviceModel + "!");
              setVariables();
              return true;
          }else{
//               If you're here, the return value was null/empty.
               System.out.println("Null or Bad service selected!\n Exiting program.");
               return false;
          }I would like to instead return the response as an integr so I can then use a switch, rather than recursive if, else if logic.
Apparently java doesnt allow switches to use strings (like PHP does)
any ideas?

Just a question more than an answer: would using a hashmap ever work here? where the key is a string and the value is an (???) object that implements an interface that would allow you to call an appropriate method? Perhaps one could use the keySet() and toArray to build the Object array for the JOptionPane. I thought I read something about this somewhere, but am not sure....
