Windows font dialog box?

Is there such a thing as a standard Windows font dialog box,
similar to the
Open and Save dialogs that you can access with the FileIO
Xtra? Something
that would allow a user to select a font that was loaded on
their system,
select color, size, style etc and then return the selection
so that Lingo
could modify a text cast member? Or am I going to have to
create this
myself?

BuddyAPI has a, windows only, function "baFontList" that will
return a
list of the fonts that are installed on a user's computer.
There may be
others.
Once you have the list of fonts, you could build a screen
that allows
the user to select the options that you give them. Or, you
could use the
MUI Xtra to create a system type window that contains all of
the options
that you want the user to select. Or, you could create a
Movie in a
Window that mimics a system window to do the same work.

How to add FONT DIALOG box to my notepad application

hai friends.......
i am developing a notepad application like windows notepad. for that application i want add FONT dialog box.could you please tell me how to add font dialog box to my application.
thank you.........

Start by going through the Swing tutorials linked from the topic listing page of the [_Swing forum_|http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=57]. When you are confident of being capable of displaying a dialog with the components you need, correctly layed out, check out the API for GraphicsEnvironment#getAllFonts and Font@canDisplyUpTo.
Any Swing related questions you might have along the way should be posted in the Swing forum.

How to avoid missing font dialog box(alert) while running the script??

Hi....
     In Illustrator CS4 ,I tried to skip missing font dialog box(alert box) by using the following script .But,I could not skip the dialog box
So if you have any suggestion about this let me know..
tell application "Finder"
set user interaction level to never interact
    activate
    set fileName to (path to desktop folder as string) & "fer11757_f1208.eps"
    --set user interaction level to never interact
    --    set user interaction level of script preferences to never interact
    open file fileName
    --set alert missing fonts to true
    set user interaction level to never interact
    activate
end tell
display dialog ("completed")
end tell
Thanks,
Mubeen

Does this NOT error when run? Your target application here is 'Finder' Apple's system file browser and you are giving it Adobe illustrator commands?
Im not 100% about the versioning with Illustrator installs I think they are all just…
Tell application "Adobe Illustrator" -- No CS Versioning?
     -- do stuff here
end tell
you could check by just picking the app from this list
choose application

Find Font dialog box appears when opening files

This didn't used to happen, but now whenever I open an Illustrator file, the "Find Font" dialog opens as though the fonts I'm using aren't found. Not sure what it wants me to do because no matter what I try nothing resolves. I simply click the "Done" button and go about my business. And there are no problems. Why is this happening? and why now? My fonts are always loaded before I open the file, the file looks and handles just fine.
Mac OS 10.5.5
CS3 Illustrator 13.0.2
Suitcase Fusion 12.1.7
Thanks

I realise this is an old thread but recently experienced this problem and found a solution that worked for me.
MacBook Pro
OS X 10.8.2
Illustrator CS6
FYI, my case is slightly different from the OP's: Illustrator was exhibiting this behaviour with only one of my files so I guessed that the problem might be with that specific file. The Find Font dialog box would appear every time the file was opened, even though it showed that all the necessary fonts were present. I didn't have admin rights for that machine and couldn't delete any preference files. So, I tried creating a new .ai file, copying everything over and saving it with a new name. No more dialog box after that.
Hope this helps.

How to open window print dialog box ?

Hello experts,
i want to print the form degin with data in forms' field.
for this i add a button in my tools bar. i want when to call the windows print dialog box.
please help
Thanks

You did not mention what Forms version you are using or the platform on which it is running. Although that doesn't really matter much in this case, please include this information in the future.
To print a screenshot of the currently displayed (running) form, use the PRINT built-in. Refer to the Builder online help for details. Here is the example from the online help:
/*** Built-in: PRINT **
Example: Print the current window. */
BEGIN
Print;
END;

I would like Adobe to utilize the non-legacy save/open Windows 7 dialog box

So I downloaded the trial for CS5.5 Master Suite and found that the open/save dialog box is the same thing from CS5. This is a huge disappointment.
Reason being is explained right here: http://www.sanneblad.com/2010/06/18/customizing-the-open-and-save-dialogs-in-adobe-cs5-for -windows/
Common File Dialog is being used still by CS5 and CS5.5 which is outdated and legacy.
[Starting with Windows Vista, the Open and Save As common dialog boxes have been superseded by the Common Item Dialog. We recommended that you use the Common Item Dialog API instead of these dialog boxes from the Common Dialog Box Library.]
The Open dialog box lets the user specify the drive, directory, and the name of a file or set of files to open. You create and display an Open dialog box by initializing an OPENFILENAME structure and passing the structure to the GetOpenFileName function.
The Save As dialog box lets the user specify the drive, directory, and name of a file to save. You create and display a Save As dialog box by initializing an OPENFILENAME structure and passing the structure to the GetSaveFileName function.
Explorer-style Open and Save As dialog boxes provide user-interface features that are similar to the Windows Explorer. However, the system continues to support old-style Open and Save As dialog boxes for applications that must be consistent with the old-style user interface.
In addition to the difference in appearance, the Explorer-style and old-style dialog boxes differ in their use of custom templates and hook procedures for customizing the dialog boxes. However, the Explorer-style and old-style dialog boxes have the same behavior for most basic operations, such as specifying a file name filter, validating the user's input, and getting the file name specified by the user. For more information about the Explorer-style and old-style dialog boxes, see Open and Save As Dialog Box Customization.
The following illustration shows a typical Explorer-style Open dialog box.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646960%28VS.85%29.aspx
It appears it would be a simple retooling of the code in order for this to work. I truly hope that Windows 8 will force all software developers to utilize the new Common Item Dialog API.

We've been trying to - but we still have to support XP and Vista.

Um, no, not that simple.

The print window settings dialog box will not come up

When attempting to print a website, I need to select the option to print as laid out on the screen as described in this how-to: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-print-websites#w_print-window-settings.
However, I have attempted to get this dialog box to come up on 4 different machines that all have Firefox 32 installed and updated. The operating systems of the 4 machines were 2 Windows 7 64bit, 1 Fedora 20 64bit, and Windows 8.1 64bit.
It appears that using the print button launches the print preview screen. Pressing CTRL+P does not open this page either. Is this something I need to change in about:config? I already reset all the printing settings and reset firefox on these machine to see if that was the issue.
Please let me know how to correct this behavior.

On Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 systems, it does not come up. I did try disabling the pop-up blocker, but it just won't load the dialog box. It is driving me a bit crazy.
And Office 365 does put the email out to a new window, but it still has frames :(. Microsoft's support forum advised setting IE and other browsers to print as displayed. The issue is I can't seem to figure out how to get that dialog box to come up. I have tried disabling the native dialog box in about:config, but didn't have any success with that either

To Open (Windows open dialog box )

Hi i am using 4.5 forms and on click of button i wanna open a windows dialog box from this user can opne any other file say doc or excel file.

There is Get_File_Name but this only came in later versions of forms. However, this 4.5 you can use d2kwutil - I think it has a file open dialog which you can use.

Hyper-V not listed in the Windows Features dialog box

Hi,
I'm trying to install Hyper-V on my Lenovo H520s and the feature is not listed in the Windows 8 features dialog box. I've confirmed that I'm running 64 bit windows, that the bios is configured to enable virtualisation etc but no joy.
Anyone any idea on what this could be?
Thanks,

Hello and welcome,
Have you cold booted your machine since enabling VT? Some computers don't correctly report VT status to the OS until a full power off - power on sequence.
No idea if yours is one of them. Just something to check.

I need help - Open windows and dialog boxes are ghosting and flashing.

Hi All,
My Mac Pro has recently come down with a "bug". When i open multiple windows they don't seem to cope well with each other and parts of the window behind will still show through the window in front in fragments. When downloading, the loading bar will also flicker and partly show the dialog box behind. The only thing that fixes the broken up windows/dialog boxes is to minimize then maximize again. At first i thought it was a memory issue but the problem occurs with no applications running except for finder. I have done several restarts, updated my software and have checked my hard drive in disk utility and everything appears okay?
I can still operate the machine but it's getting a little annoying. Can anyone help me here?

Hi nayefo,
Try installing multitouch, and then see, while in windows, if you've successfully installed multitouch and multitouch mouse, you should have those drivers. Also check if you've installed trackpad and trackpad enabler.
Cheers,
Erik

Visual Class: Set a label in main window from dialog box

Hi,
Firstly my project is a visual project and at the time being has only 2 classes, both visual. One a main window and then one a dialog.
The project is about a gym membership, and what i want it to do at the moment is to set the name text box i have in the main window by typying it in another text box in my dialog. Understand?
This is my text field method in MainWindow...
public JTextField getNameTextField() {
          if (NameTextField == null) {
               NameTextField = new JTextField();
               NameTextField.setBounds(new Rectangle(164, 28, 193, 26));
          return NameTextField;
     }And my New Member text field in the dialog, called NameDialog
private JTextField getNewMemberTextField() {
          if (NewMemberTextField == null) {
               NewMemberTextField = new JTextField();
               NewMemberTextField.setBounds(new Rectangle(36, 56, 209, 28));
          return NewMemberTextField;
     }In the dialog i have created a button called,"OK" and if i press it without entering a String then an error box appears which all works correctly. Then as you can see if i enter a String here i want this String to be entered and showed in my MainWindow class in the name text box.
But this is not working and i am having trouble here after the else...
else {
GymMembershipMainWindow mainWindow = new GymMembershipMainWindow();                                 mainWindow.getNameTextField().setText(getNewMemberTextField().getText());
NameDialog.this.setVisible(false);Sorry but do you understand what i am trying to do? Apologies if any of it is unclear.
Would appreciate any help. Thank you.

Ok well there is quite a bit, but only 2 classes. This is the first class which is the main class.

                         NameDialog.this.setVisible(false);
          return CancelButton;
The problem i am having is in the OK method in the dialog class. At the 'else' i want the text that is inputted into the text field in the name dialog here, to appear into the text field in the main window for the name.
Understand me? Sorry. Thanks

Find Font Dialog box opening Ai files

The Find Font box always opens immediately upon some Ai CS3 files, even when there are no missing or substituted fonts indicated.
User has to hit done to clear the box. It is anoying several users thru out the studio....
Any ideas what would cause this?

One possibility though unlikely is that there is a symbol with a font that was saved with the default document profile and it contains a font that is not being recognized however that woud not affect Illustrator when launching without creating a docuent first.
So this not likely then it would mean one of two things the font cache is corrupt and/or the prefences are corrupt.
Always give some idea of your system and version of Illustrator and something about your plug ins as well.
That is also a possiblity you have a plug in that might have a conflict causing this and or a thrid party application running which is in conflict with Illustrator.This should go without saying always when you have strange behavior to suspect a conflict.
Are you runing or haave you installed any knew fonts or plug ins or software any updates.
You should tell us about these things. Remember we do not know how you are set up.
But you can try this
Mac
1. Quit Illustrator.
2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe illustrator CS# Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.
PC
1. Quit Illustrator.
2. Rename the AIPrefs file (for example, to AIPrefs.old) in the Users/(user)/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS# Settings folder.
3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.

HT2305 What does windows installer dialog box message "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation" when I tried to install airport utility?

Although the following user tip is about iTunes, try the same procedure with an Airport Utility installer. (Downloading and saving an installer to your hard drive and then right-clicking the installer and selecting "Run as Administrator".)
"The administrator has set policies to prevent this installation" error messages when installing iTunes for Windows on Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems

"Save As" Dialog Box in Acrobat X/Windows 7

One of the best things about Windows Vista and 7 is the much-expanded and much-improved Open/Save As dialog boxes. They are much more efficient and much easier to work with, especially as you build huge document libraries.
When I installed Acrobat X I was very excited by the assumption that a post-Windows 7 Acrobat build would utilize Windows 7 dialog boxes. Oh was I wrong. It seems that Acrobat X still utilizes the old Windows 2000/Windows XP dialog boxes.
Does anyone know of a way to force Acrobat to use 21st century dialog boxes? Or am I doomed to remain stuck in 1990s file navigation hell?
Thanks.

This is really unbelieveable that Adobe is apparently unable to detect the version of Windows that they are running on and alter the Dialog box to suit! I can only imagine that their code base is so bad and riddled with old legacy stuff that their developers are unable to make this change without breaking everything. In which case, why even bother to bump to a new major version of X ?
Why do we support this?
Chris Cox, your answer of "We've been trying to - but we still have to support XP and Vista." is unacceptable. You know how to detect that you are running on Windows 7 and you can still support XP and Vista. Any developer out there know this.
MAKE THIS CHANGE NOW !!
