Web Guy Using Swing - Need Help With jComboBox

I'm new to doing desktop Java development (come from a web application background) and am trying to accomplish migrating some of a web application's functionality to a desktop app for distribution. I'm already a bit stuck when it comes to using the jComboBox. What is intuitive to me in the web world would be to have one combo box/select box that after making a selection, it returns it's value so I could use that to run another query that would populate the next drop down menu. Populating the display of the combo box isn't the problem, that seems easy enough, but what I so far can't find is how I can attach a value to the combo box; that is for instance, having the drop down show a list of country names, and needing to have that list of country names correspond to a country code. For the web, you'd just have the option value tied to the code and the contents of the option be the name.
Is this do-able? Am I completely thinking about this in the wrong way when working in desktop GUI things? I am using NetBeans 6.0 for my GUI layout and such, don't know if that helps or hurts matters. Also currently using Java 1.5.
Any information or points in the right direction are greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

If I understand you correctly, you need to have a class that holds country name and country code, with a toString override method that returns just the country name (this is what the combobox shows). You then put an array of these objects in your jcombobox, obtain the selected object, get it's country code, and you're off and running.

    Since you are new to Swing the first thing I would recommend is to read the tutorial "Creating a Gui with JFC/Swing". I think the Text Component section has a demo on creating a username/password GUI. It can be downloaded at:
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
    Why doesn't the password field label display? You are not adding it to the container. You add textField, textFieldLabel, passwordField, actionLabel but no passwordFieldLabel.
    Instead of adding a WindowListener and implementing the windowClosing() method, there is an easier way to close the JFrame in JDK1.3. Simply use:
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
    The class "TextSamplerDemo" doesn't belong in this class (it must be a demo class you downloaded from somewhere). All the code you need in the main method is:
    JFrame frame = new swing1();
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
    Also, by convention classes should be named with the first character of each word capitalized. So you class should be renamed to "Swing1" from "swing1". Also remember to rename the file as the filename and class name must be the same and case does matter.

  • Hey guys i really need help with this problem...

    Hey guys how is everyone? I have a Soundblaster X-Fi XtremeMusic. and i am having a real annoying problem, here is how it all started. I took the time and dusted out my computer by using a can of air duster, and i think a little got on there and it turned into frost. Weird thing is it happened before and i never had this problem. I turn my computer on and crank the volume up i receive no sound what so ever. I know it has to work because i have a pair of DJ headset hooked into the jack, and i heard a little pop sound. And no audio, every last port on the card i cannot get no sound out of it except one of them, it's really annoying i hate this doing this and i have to hook my 5.1 using one jack just to get sound. And it doesnt sound good i have some really powerful 1,000 watt speakers with 2 amps. I know this is yet due to the fact i only have the lime jack in This is the only way it'll work. And i have a THX cable and it works sometime. I hope my soundcard isnt messed up. I really hope you guys can help me with this issue. I cannot contact creative cust service via email because i dont have my box no more, and my serial number is faded on the card (i think that was the serial)
    I try to explain the best way i can describe it. Below is my System Specs.
    <pre>Processor: AMD Athlon X3 425 @ 2.7GHz
    Video Card: ATI HD 5770 1GB
    Hard Drive:1TB Western Digital, 500GB Western Digital, 300GB Seagate (all SATA connections)
    Heatsink: Zalman CNPS7000C-Cu
    Power Supply: Antec 550 Watts True Power II
    Sound Card: Creative Soundblaster XI-FI Xtreme Music
    Motherboard: ASUS M4A79XTD EVO
    DVD Drives x2. Plextor DVD-RW/DL/ Sony DVD-ROM Drive via PATA connections</pre> Thanks in advance hope you all have a splended weekend.

    Hello
    Thank you for your help but unfortunately still have troubles with the soundcard.
    I upgraded my system to
    RAM: Corsair Vengeance LP 16GB DDR3
    Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Processor, Black Edition 3.3GHz
    Video Card: Sapphire 100314-3L Radeon HD 6870 1GB
    Hard Drive: 1TB Western Digital, 500GB Western Digital, 300GB Seagate (all SATA connections)
    Heatsink: Zalman CNPS7000C-Cu
    Power Supply: Corsair TX850W 850 Watt SLI/Crossfire Certified
    Sound Card: Creative Labs Soundblaster X-FI Titanium Fatal1ty Professional (getting this soon)
    Motherboard: ASUS M4A79XTD EVO (BIOS: 2102)
    DVD Drive(s): Plextor DVD-RW/DL/ Sony DVD-ROM Drive via PATA connections
    And i still run into problems i think its a matter of a hardware issue. The plugs dont really work
    only one does (where lime goes in) And the bass has toned down as well... Isn't as powerful
    as it used to be, so my best be is to upgrade to Creative Labs Soundblaster X-FI Titanium Fatal1ty Professional
    Thats my only hope...
    But again thank you for your help

  • Hi guys i really need help with a newsletter set up

    so my newsletter that i am having difficulty with is 4 pages with a 3 column and each page needs to have a headline and sub headline the problem i am having is creating enough space for the sub headline with enough room for the text i was wondering if anyone has a mock set up file that i could use to see where my margins are off by any help will be greatly appreciated.  oh and the size is 8.5x11 mine just doesn't seem to look right.

    Alright. I'll ask what I'm sure everyone else is wondering...
    Have you ever done this before? Have you opened a book or watched a video?
    I'm not trying to be a jerk, but the questions you're asking are so basic that I'm a bit concerned about what's going to happen when you run across something complicated.
    I strongly suggest that you buy Sandee Cohen's Visual Quick Start Guide. About $23 at Amazon: http://bit.ly/cO6rsz.
    You should also consider a month to month subscription to Lynda.com. At $25/month it's a bargain.

  • I am making a movie on my ipad using iMovie, need help with music.

    I have a song that I put into my itunes library and then uploaded it into a dropbox folder.  I have dropbox on all my apple products.  Anyway, I would like to use this song in my imovie project.  How do I get it into imovie from dropbox.  It is a an aif. file.
    THANKS!  Kelly

    What you share on iTunes file share is the project itself, not the final video. Press share > camera roll. And then you can access the video on explorer/finder as any other photo.

  • Need help with codings on generating random words

    hi guys.. i need help with generating random words from a list of array. please help me with the codings.. let me know the other variables that are needed if required as well.. thanks a million..
    private String wordList[] = { "abstraction", "command", "arithmetic", "backslash" };

    Hi,
    You can use the Random class to generate Random number between 0 to the array length and use the generated random number as index in to the Strign array.
    To generate Random number use the following code
    Random r = new Random();
    num = ((r.nextInt() >>> 1) % wordList.length);
    num will have the randomly generated number.

  • HOW DO YOU GUYS DEAL WITH APPLE.. SO CONFUSING...NEED HELP WITH SPECS FOR PURCHASE OF IMAC 21.5

    Hi guys, been reading your forums, blogposts, etc and am getting more confused.  I'm just a video girl trying to produce meaningful content through web videos for small to mid sized businesses and want to come over from the dark side. 
    Good news,, I dont need a super giant system,  I do simple editing for web videos, minimal graphics, no motion graphics, no animation etc. currently using CS4, will probably end up with 5.5.
    I want to get imac 21.5 or 27 if i have to..  So here's the question we all have,,, what do I really need besides an Apple fairy godmother to figure this crazy stuff out?????
    I want to be able to have firewire add on, but the rest is what I need help with.   So i've been looking at cs6 specs, even though im not there yet, eventually will be,, so just need to run cs4 now and build from there.  I also want to eventually move to final cut down the road so I want imac able to upgrade to final cut.
    WHAT DO I REALLY NEED MINIMALLY FOR NOW?  WHAT CAN I GET LATER IF i CHOOSE TO DO MORE AND NEED MORE POWER?
    cs6:
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.6.8, v10.7, or v10.8**
    4GB of RAM (8GB recommended)
    4GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
    Additional disk space required for preview files and other working files (10GB recommended)
    1280x900 display
    7200 RPM hard drive (multiple fast disk drives, preferably RAID 0 configured, recommended)
    OpenGL 2.0–capable system
    DVD-ROM drive compatible with dual-layer DVDs (SuperDrive for burning DVDs; Blu-ray burner for creating Blu-ray Disc media)
    QuickTime 7.6.6 software required for QuickTime features
    Optional: Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated performance
    Any responses would be great.  I know you guys are busy answering the really high end tech questions

    All the current iMac models (both 21.5" and 27" with OS X Mt. Lion 10.8) will run CS4, 5.5 and 6 just fine.  They will also run Final Cut Pro X just fine.  Ditto for most any application you may want to use.
    Below are some notes (specific to your apparent requirements) that may help you with your purchase decision:
    Notes on purchasing a 21.5" iMac
    All 21.5" iMacs come with 8GB RAM but you cannot add more later.  I strongly suggest getting the maximum RAM (16GB) when you order the iMac.
    The basic hard drive is a 1TB 5400rpm drive.  It will work fine with Adobe CS but you will probably want the added speed of the optional 1TB Fusion drive for better performance. Some people will recommend/argue for one of the optional SSD drives instead, but they are very expensive and still only come in relatively small capacities - I don't recommend the SSD drives.  Get the Fusion drive and spend any extra money on a good external hard drive for backup and/or extra storage instead of an SSD.
    Notes on purchasing a 27" iMac
    All 27" iMacs come with 8GB RAM and you can add more later, up to 32GB
    The basic hard drive is a 1TB 7200rpm drive - it will be fine with Adobe CS.  There are upgrade options to a 3TB 7200rpm drive or a 1TB or 3TB fusion drive - these will be fine also.  There are also SSD drive options, but I do not recommend them. (Same comments as above.)
    Notes on all the current iMacs
    iMacs no longer come with built-in CD/DVD drives.  If you need one, you will need to purchase the Apple Superdrive accessory drive ($79)
    All of the iMac graphic processors (GPU's) are compatible with Adobe CS 4, 5.5, 6
    It is very difficult to impossible to change or upgrade the hard drive later on, so don't buy low-end thinking you can add a better internal hard drive later.
    Be aware that Macs always come with the latest (most recent) version of OS X.  And OS X Mavericks (10.9) is due to be released soon (in the next month or two).  There is no guarantee that the older Adobe CS 4 or 5.5 versions will run on OS X Mavericks.  If you cannot upgrade to CS 6 in the near future, you may want to purchase now rather than after OS X Mavericks is released.
    For what it's worth, I'd recommend the 27" iMac if your budget can afford it.  You will appreciate the larger screen size and added capabilities over the years you will use the computer.

  • Need Help with a Flash Web Project

    Hello, everyone. I am trying to use Flash to make a two-step
    system. I want the flash document to, first, allow a person to
    upload multiple image files and then, second, for the flash
    document be able to create a slideshow with the uploaded images and
    fade in and out from each image until the slideshow is over. I want
    it to be where the flash document creates its own slideshow with
    the images that are uploaded in the first step that I mentioned. I
    want it to do it completely on its own so I need to know how to
    give it the proper AI so that it can do this task.
    So, are there any tips that anyone has on how to do this? Can
    anyone tell me exactly how to do this? I really need help with this
    for my new website project. Thanks in advance, everyone!

    The problem with the text not appearing at all has to do with you setting the alpha of the movieclip to 0%.  Not within the movieclip, but the movieclip itself.  The same for the xray graphic, except you have that as a graphic symbol rather than a movieclip.  To have that play while inhabiting one frame you'll need to change it to a movieclip symbol.
    To get the text to play after the blinds (just a minor critique, I'd speed up the blinds), you will want to add some code in the frame where you added the stop in the blinds animation.  You will also need to assign instance names for the text movieclips in the properties panel, as well as place a stop(); in their first frames (inside).
    Let's say you name them upperText and lowerText.  Then the code you'd add at the end of the blinds animation (in the stop frame) would be...
    _parent.upperText.play();
    _parent.lowerText.play();
    The "_parent" portion of that is used to target the timeline that is containing the item making the command, basically meaning it's the guy inside the blinds telling the guy outside the blinds to do something.
    You'll probably want to add stops to the ends of the text animations as well.
    If you want to have the first text trigger the second text, then you'd take that second line above and place it in the last frame of the first text animation instead of the blinds animation.
    Note, on occasion, undeterminably, that code above doesn't work for some odd reason... the animation plays to the next frame and stops... so if you run into that, just put a play(); in the second frame to help push it along.
    PS GotoandPlay would actually be gotoAndPlay, and for the code above you could substitute play(); with gotoAndPlay(2);

  • Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service

    Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of.  I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our  "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit"  issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
    We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
    I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
    You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
    (and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks',  "Adobe phone-in experiences")
    Thank You,

    Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
    So  I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself,  I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products"  to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
    OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi  & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any  "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE"  button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is,  how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
    So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a  " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
    So after thinking this all out,  and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
    Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year,  I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
    A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however,  if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
    I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
    OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending"  with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly,  and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add)..,  except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form....  Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of.  First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
    Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
    It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time)  of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one,  basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it...  and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
    Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly,  the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4)  If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
    Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that?  Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

    I need help with color pallette in iPhoto 11. I have created a book and would like to use a different color background than those given in "background." I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
    Additionally I have no idea what you are saying here

  • Hello, I need help with my macbook pro. It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, use the migration assistant or click the lock to make changes, it simply does not react.

    Hello, I need help with my macbook pro.
    It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, I simply get stuck during the installation type process. I put in my password, it does accept it, but it does not go any further.
    I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.
    So I thought I might try to create a new account but I cannot click the lock to make changes. It simply refuses to react.
    I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...
    I guess it has something to do with the authorization process, but can't find anything on the internet about it... Can you help me out?
    I am running Lion 10.7.3.
    Regards,
    Nicolas.
    (I apologize if any grammatical/structural mistakes were to be found, english is not my mother-tongue. )

    You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
    First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS.

  • Project Server 2013: I am using Project Server Permission Mode and need help with permission assignments?

    Hi 
    Project Server 2013: I am using Project Server Permission Mode and need help with permission assignments?
    How can I change Permissions for the individual users to see specific projects or all projects in project center and to see specific quick launch items?
    For Example: if i have 4 users, A, B, C and D. what i want is:
    User A can see everything and act as a project manager or Admin.
    User B can view all projects in project centre but can change the schedule or resource assignment etc.
    User C can only act as approver of projects and can view all projects in project centre.
    User D can only view specific projects for which permissions are given.
    can i have some expert help in sorting and understanding permission modes... as i was playing with project server mode permissions and can't figure out how to apply the above scenario to set of my user.
    Thanks in Advance
    Cheers

    Hi Ajay,
    Please refer to this link for detailed explanations about PS2013 security model. 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc197638(v=office.15).aspx
    Actually, it will take a couple of days to explain in detail the security model that is a fundamental and tricky aspect of every PS implementation. But basically, you NEVER set permissions for a single user. You have groups in which your insert users. Groups
    define "what users can do". Then you associate groups to a corresponding category. Categories define "what user can see". Thus the association of a group with a category will set "what the user can do on the objects he can see". Then, for more advanced security
    level, you can use the RBS that will consist in "branches" in which you'll insert users. Based on those branches, you'll customize categories to fine-tune what user can see (for projects and resources) depending on the RBS branch and level.
    I'd advice you to start "playing" in a test environment with the default categories/groups that might probably cover your need.
    Concerning your 4 users:
    user A : add him to the "administrator" group. Be careful that you're mentionning either project manager or administrator, which are 2 groups/categories with totally different permissions level.
    user B : basically can see everything and change everything? it could be in the project manager group, assuming that there are no project visibility restrictions on the category via the RBS.
    user C : waht do you mean by "approver"? Workflow approvals? Then it will be the portfolio manager group. Task update or timesheet approval? Then it is another long topic: please refer in the documentation to the "status manager" and "timesheet manager"
    concepts. There are not related to the security model. In a few words, the status manager is the owner of the project plan, is defined for each task and approves tasks updates. The timesheet manager is an attribute defined for each resource in its parameters
    and approves resource timesheet.
    user D : you have to define which permission level must be given to this user. Basically it could be a team member that will see only projects he's in the project team. Note that team member cannot interact with the project plan in another way than submitting
    timesheets and/or tasks updates which must be approved.
    Once more, those are large and complex subjects that require a deep dive into your business model and tons of tests in a test environment.
    Hope this helps.
