Windows application design methods?

New to Java I'm having the same problems as others... totally incomprehensible behaviours and jargon. I need to get Windows application made. Is there a graphical, drag&drop layout tool in which I can place 'controls' such as buttons, panels, toolbars onto a window then write the code to respond to them? It seems to be commonplace in other systems.
I suggest that the FIRST skill you learn is how to find information on the internet.
IMHO that is FAR MORE IMPORTANT than any other single skill you might acquire.
The NetBeans IDE is a popular one for Java and The Java Tutorials has trails specifically for it.

How to call Java methods from a Windows application?

Hello all,
At our company, we need to integrate our product which is a Java Swing application with a Windows application. Specifically, we are trying to call Java methods that reside in our application from the Lotus Notes email client application, which is a native Windows application. Such that when a user clicks a button in the Lotus Notes email client, it will trigger an event in our Swing application. Is this possible using JNI? Do you know of any resources or references relating to this kind of a project?
Thanks,
Mete Kural

If there is some dll interface that lets Lotus Notes load up and use a DLL, then yes, this should be possible.

Bex Web Application designer 3.x windows 7

Good Morning,
Im trying to use Bex Web Application Designer SAP BW 3.x doenst working at windows 7.
its ask one version above ie 5.
Im using ie 8, i cant install the ie 7.
there is anyway i solve this problem?
i patched of last support package, even it not working
thank u
regards,
Amit

Dear Amit,
unfortunately I get the same error here when I try to run the WAD 3.5 under Windows 7. I only can hope that there will be a work around, as SAP will officially support Win7 only with SAPGui 7.20 which will be released in Q1 next year. I did not get any information that BW 3.5 will still be included in Gui 7.20, but probably someone who is reading the forum from SAP can provide an answer...
Another strange thing which I discovered in Win7 is, that when I execute a query and the variable screen is displayed, most of my variable descriptions are missing. When I toggle back and forth some windows everything appears correctly. So I guess that (hopefully) the display device driver needs only another update...
Regards,
Andreas

To use Web Application Designer release 2004s do we need to have portals???

Hi
I would like some clarity regarding whther we need a portal or not.
If you use Web Application Designer (SAP BW 3.x) it works fine, you can create reports and then it shows in SAP Easy Access under favourites. Executes fine, no portal is used.
Now when I want to use the new Web Application Designer I can not execute the reports. Gives me error
"Java communication error: RFC destination NOT_CONFIGURED does not exist", the window it appears in has a text saying it can't conect to the portal. Then notes that I look at regarding this seems that the connection between SAP BW and Portal must be set up.
So can please someone tell me whether you need the portal to use the new Web Application Designer release 2004s
Thanks in advance

YOu neeed BI Java configured
If you do not use any new BEx Web functions, do you have to install the usage types BI Java and EP?
answer -SAP EP 6.0 Portals could be integrated into a federated portal system landscape using URL iViews.

Can I install Windows Applications on an External Drive?

I would like to install Windows apps on an external drive. Is this possible?
Windows Vista will of course reside on the internal drive. (on a 2009 Mac Mini)

Is this possible?
Only if the application is explicitly designated as being portable. It may work for other applications, but isn't guaranteed to succeed, as most Windows applications modify the registry when installed and/or use system components.

Best Practice for Showing Videos in a Windows Application

I am building a windows 8 application that has multiple articles. Each article will have anywhere from 0-3 videos associated with it. I was wondering where I could find some guidelines, best practices or examples about the how best to do this
from a design stand point, so that app is in line with the Windows Application guidelines.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi bcp1978,
>>I was wondering where I could find some guidelines, best practices or examples about the how best to do this from a design stand point, so that app is in line with the Windows Application guidelines
To design a windows app, we need to understand Microsoft design principles first:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/hh781237.aspx Use these principles as you plan your app, and let them guide your design and development choices
Microsoft also provide a page of design guideline:

How to use Application Designer with virtual box vm's

hi all,
I could use some help please.
I have everthing installed and working on the VMs but now I want to use Application Designer but I must be doing something wrong.
I installed the Oracle client on windows and created tnsnames.ora. I can't connect to the database from windows to vm.
I have some questions which might help me fix this.
The directory that was mentioned to put tnsnames.ora in (C:\app\Mike\product\11.2.0\client_1\network\admin\) was not there so I had to create it. Was that what I was supposed to do or did the install go bad?
For the windows host file what should the ip addresses be? I used the IP Addresses of the eth1 network interface from both guests which I created.
As far as the PeopleTools on windows I used PT 8.52 but with no patch will that work even though the VMs are PT 8.52.06? So if I need the patch in order for App Designer to work how can I get the patch I think I need an account to do that. I think it mentions in the OVM doc that they are included somewhere so should I use those instead?

<strike>With virtualbox vm's I assume that you mean the OVM templates converted to virtualbox.</strike>
Didn't notice the OVM category :)
Which Oracle Client installer did your use?
You could use the following download from MOS for Database 11.2..02 (since Peoplesoft database is also delivered at 11.2.0.2)
Patch 10098816: 11.2.0.2.0 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER
From the patch set download only p10098816_112020_platform_4of7.zip, which is your database client. The rest you will not need to be able to use Application Designer and Datamover.
Once downloaded start the installer and choose option Runtime (do not choose Instant Client or Administrator).
Now that you have your connectivity, you can start the PIA-AppBatch vm.
switch to psadm2 user and go to $PS_HOME.
Here you will find two files
toolsclient.zip (PeopleTools 8.52, use client only)
toolspatchvcd.zip (PeopleTools patch 8.52.06, , use client only)
Copy these files to your windows workstation and install them in that order.
Copy the tnsnames from the Database vm to your oracle client install dir network\admin dir and you should be ready to start using Application Designer/Datamover.
For more detailed information see the post from Nicolas:

How to determine which Windows application has focus

I'm new to JAVA and new to programming. I hope someone will help me out. I'm trying to write a simple JLink program (JLink is a JAVA API for Pro|Engineer, a CAD design program). In part of this program I need to determine if Pro|E has focus. Is there some way to use JAVA to determine which actively running Windows application has focus?
I basically want my program to pause when focus changes to another program. For example: While Pro|E is active and has focus the program runs, when I select an Excel window, or Outlook, or Notepad or any other window my program will pause until focus is returned. I just need to determine which window within Windows has focus.
I hope I have explained this properly. I searched the internet for an answer but found nothing. I did come across some references to JNI, but I'm not sure what that is or how to use it.
Thank you!

I just need to determine which window within Windows has focus.No, you don't. All you need to determine is whether your application has the focus. If it doesn't, then some other application does, but it's really irrelevant which one does. All that's relevant is that your application doesn't have the focus and hence it should pause.

Discussion: Application Design

Hi,
Just a small discussion on application design :) Have you ever thought on how you should develop an application, and then when the design is ready you think of a complete different thing on how that application can be developed (and you actually have the guts feeling that it is better) and you do not realize you are entering in a �vicious-loop� without knowing it!!
What do you people usually do?
Regards,
Sim085

paralysis by analysis? not in XP, matey, no wayBut imagien if I used the XP model and half way
through the project ... "Sh*t" if I designed it that
way I could have gained that, or it whole thing would
be easier to use, or could be extensible, or .. or ..
or (guess you get the point).
I used XP on small projects so far, were I was sure
the projects were not going to be kept alive for a
very long time! however really intrested to try it on
a full scale project! But these things worry me to
much!
At the moment I am contemplainting on whether to
design a WebService to be the backbone of my
application or else use a socket based approach so
clients can keep a connection always active with the
server ... so you can see that my design is really
waving between two extreems!
Regards,
Sim085encapsulate the connection method so you can use either a WebService or a socket, with no code change (embrace change). the comms method used shouldn't have any impact on your business logic

Installing and Starting the Application Designer

Hi,
I am trying to integrate peoplesoft FSCM with oracle IPM.
1. I have installed the "PeopleSoft VM Templates for FSCM 9.1 Release Media Pack for x86 (64 bit)" successfully by following the instructions in [http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E29416_01/psft/acrobat/PeopleSoft_Financials_and_Supply_Chain_Management_9.1_Feature_Pack_2_OVM.pdf]
2. for installing the PeopleSoft adapter, I am following the "Administrator's guide for Oracle Peoplesoft Adapter" @ [http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21043_01/doc.1111/e17044.pdf"]
For Configuring PeopleSoft Solution Components and Communications, I need to Import the PeopleSoft Project using the "PeopleSoft Application Designer".
When I install the Application Designer on my Windows 7 laptop, It say's installation complete with some errors.
To run the Application Designer, I need to execute the "pside.exe" file located at "INSTALL_DIR \bin\client\winx86\" directory, but the "INSTALL_DIR \bin\" directory dose not consists of "client" directory.
Any Idea, If I am missing anything or doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Kailash

Hi,
I ran into a similar issue where the isntaller failed, when I unchecked the PeopleTools check box on this screen

Windows Application Verifier

Has anyone used the Windows Application Verifier with a CVI-built executable?
I'm curious if it works with a CVI developed app (maybe not in the debug mode but maybe in the logging mode?) and if it's capable of finding errors not detectable using a CVI debug build.
On a separate topic, I'm wonderingif there's anything available in CVI to help detect memory leaks? I seem to recall hearing that CVI 2009 had something like this, but maybe it's in the optional profiler that's not part of the FDS.
Thanks.
Menchar

I've found over the years that one of the best ways to cure memory leaks I have induced is very simple. Do a search for every instance of alloc, malloc or calloc and be absolutely certain there is a free call to go with it.
I personally prefer not to do this but if you alloc memory in a function and pass the pointer back, you really need to document that a free is needed to clear that memory. Even if you are the only one using that function, make it explicitly clear because you may forget (I know I do). Good practice is to document these things in usage comments and/or any design documents you do.
As for detecting them, Windows PerfMon can help there as somebody mentioned in this thread.

Getting (WHND) of windows applications

Hi,
I am trying to develop an application that on windows retrives the handles of a couple of native windows applications, to see if I can remote controll them using the message quea. I am not sure this is the right forum, but the one that seems to match most. I have unsuccesfully tried a couple of other forums.
Does some one know how to retrieve a handle from another application please?
Even without using J/Direct please?
Thanks in advance.

Getting the HWND of a Win32 application depends largely on your understanding of the Windows architecture. There are two main approaches from a total-solution perspective. BOTH perspectives rely on Java Native Interface API, but they use it differently. After you decide which of these two options to choose, you need to ask yourself, What input parameters can I provide to determine which Window's HWND I need?
1. Use the JNI, or a third-party library based upon it, to map individual Win32 API calls (like EnumWindows) into a Java class. Then write a Java program that calls these Win32 methods tagged as native in Java. This is the strategy used to implement the Standard Widget Toolkit, by the way...
2. Use the JNI, but in a different way, to call a more complicated Win32 procedure (rather than just the basics of JNI, which allow you to call a DLL which was written in C.) You could use Njawin, for example, to call into a COM DLL (like a Visual Basic application) which itself provides a more complete solution to the problem. APIs like Jawin, JIntegra, Njawin, and JacobGen will take a complicated Win32 binary module (a DLL, TLB, etc. depending upon which solution we're talking about) and interoperate it with Java, allowing you to retrieve Pure Java return types, call methods synchronously or asynchronously, etc.
If you are going to be invoking further native functionality after you get the HWND (as you hinted with the message queue), you will probably want to go with Solution 2; coding directly to the Win32 API is not necessary in many situations. If you need to use JAVA as the front end to your program, but you want a lot of native functionality, then:
1. Write all your native functionality in a high-level, object-oriented, COM-enabled Win32 programming language like Delphi, VB, C++, etc.
2. Code the main native procedure into a public object inside a COM DLL, and use JacobGen or Njawin to be able to call that method from inside Java.
