error dialog with scrollable area to display big multiline message? - swing

I need to display error dialog (with standart red cross image) with message and Ok button.
Message is pretty big (like stack-trace) so I need to display it in scrollable area.
Should I write such dialog from scratch or swing contains something that I can reuse?
upd: found unswer myself http://www.javalobby.org/java/forums/t19012.html

The easiest way is to use TaskDialog framework. You can create all kinds of dialogs including the following:
The exception dialog can be called via
TaskDialogs.showException(e);
See Task Dialog for more details

You can use this component
The source code is all there, you just need to copy and paste code. No need to install a framework.

Content Dialog template in Visual Studio C#

I'm starting to learn Windows 8.1 phone development and I am trying to get the Content Dialog template to work inside a Pivot page. Work some reason, when I try to get the Add app bar button to navigate to the ContentDialog.xaml page, it is not displaying, but I see the navigate go to the ContentDialog constructor where the this.InitializeComponent() occurs.
I am finding very little online in way of examples on this template, so I am at a loss as to what I am missing. I understand that the ContentDialog page that was created from the template is inheriting from ContentDialog and not Page, but I'm not sure if this is still supposed to be directly accessed or if this XAML is supposed to be inside another "Page" XAML file.
Can someone please help.
The code looks like this in the Pivot page when the click event is selected:
Frame.Navigate(typeof(ContentDialog1));
I really haven't even touched the ContentDialog template from it's default yet, so it is set up like a set password page.
Thanks in advance
UPDATE
I found the answer to my question above. apparently, because it is a Content control, it needs to be called like a normal dialog would need to be called in it's code behind. I think my missconseption was that I thought it being "a template", that when I called it with the navigation calls that it would already have everything needed to get fired. You can also add the Content control to an existing page if you would like.
In either scenario, you need to add a method similar to this in your XAML.CS file.
private async void OpenDialog()
{
await this.contentStuff.ShowAsync();
}
You then need to call this method in the constructor. Then, when called, your dialog will appear.
Hope this helps others just starting out.

Adding a interactive gui to my VB.net application

OK. So first, I will try my best to explain so good. My friend has gotten cursed out on this forum for not explaining, so I will explain. :)
Ok so I have my program built and all. But then it hit me! Wouldn't it be better to add a news feature? One teeny tiny problem? I cant? How would I implement a interactive code into an HTML page.
Like can i connect a button to a URL that will make the program do something. Almost like you can open cydia tweaks with there identifier and url EXAMPLE: http://handleopenurl.com/scheme/cydia And then i can add urls so i can update the program, without updating the files.
Or even just a featured news thing would be nice. But how would i implement this perfectly. I tryed a webrowser, but the page is too big for it. I am good at html, not much at css, i mostly use Adobe Muse http://www.adobe.com/Muse
Last question. Kinda defies the first thing i said about having my program finished.
Is there a way i can add a plus button and make it add more buttons and more labels and all?
This would help with allowing users to customize more then what the program can handle. By The Way, its a winter board Theme Maker. So I have a bunch of icons with there bundle identifiers and I create the folders with VB.net and all that stuff. But i want users to be able to click a plus button to add MORE text boxes and file browsers.
Any ideas? Maybe DIM 1 as NewFileBrowser? But i need to move all the buttons and i need it to be able to be clicked an infinity amount of times. I can do the coding for all of these buttons, but i jest need to know how to create them <1 Move them and the button so that the button goes further down each time, and more boxes will go further down. Much help apreciated. THANKS:)
EDIT:
Are you trying to say that you're wondering how to have a web browser control in a vb.net >app, which displays a web page, and when a button is clicked on the page, your app detects >it and does something? – Thraka
That sums up the top part. I am using windows forms, and it is coded in VB.net
If you get the object you want, like the button, you can hook the event and have it call code in your form.
Find the object using the Browser.Document.GetElementById method.
With that object, add an event handler to the Click event.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.htmlelementeventhandler(v=vs.110).aspx for information about the event handler used

Display a warning message before leaving site to link

I need to be able to have a popup, preferably like a lightbox that displays an html message when a user clicks a link. The popup will populate the screen and the user will have to click "OK" after reading the message. How can this be done using lightbox? I'd rather avoid using a boring prompt as its much less attractive.
http://lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/
You might be able to do it in lightbox, but as far as I can tell it's not quite what lightbox was intended for. You may want to consider a more generic "modal" type of solution. A common one is jQuery UI's Dialog. Another common one is Bootstrap's modal solution.

Print Preview with Flex application?

Is there a way to add a visualise and manipulate the way the things goin to be printed from flex application before the printing them ?
I have built a full functional PDF and Print Preview for Flex DataGrid and AdvancedDataGrid. It has also got some helpful tools that you can use before printing.
check it out http://blog.kreatx.com/2011/11/11/flex-printing-print-preview-pdf-generation/
Ya it can be done, It also depends on the type of document to be printed. If your application is document based then u can refer the following Print Preview.
Though it look like the pdf preview.
If your application is image shape added on stage then no other way.
you need to create the popup and add the followings, since you cannot clone that kind objects.

Primefaces - using dialogs and layouts

I have a (JSF 2.0/ Primefaces 2.2RC-SNAPSHOT) app that has
<p:layout>
I use a lot of dialog in my application and before the newest version of primefaces came out there was no way to display a dialog with a modal on top of the layout without putting the dialogs outside of the tags.
So I did just that. The issue I am having now is I am noticing that constructors and postcontructs are being called when my application is loaded. This is because the view with the layout is being loaded and therefore all my dialogs are being loaded.
I don't want these constructors being called until I am actually dealing with the appropriate views in my application.
I have been testing the appendToBody attribute on the
<p:dialog>
tag but it seems really buggy. Everything works fine on the initial rendering of a view. I can open a dialog close it etc and it works fine. If I navigate away to another view and then come back to the initial view and open the dialog, everything is running off the page. The dialog window is in the correct place but the content is not.
My question is 1. Is there a way I can have the dialog windows outside of my layout as a child of the
<h:body>
without having all the managed bean constructors associated with them initiated when the application loads?
Or does anyone know how to fix the alignment issue when using the appendToBody tag? Thanks.
When using layout and dialog, I usually place my dialogs outside of the layout as a direct child of the body element. I have a special ui:insert part in my page template for this.
appendToBody was added to make this easier, if it doesn't work well for you, give this approach a try. I know modal dialogs and layout can work this way.
without having all the managed bean constructors associated with them
initiated when the application loads
Maybe the managedbean gets loaded when your dialog is rendered.
Try rendering the dialog only after the button click, perhaps byputting rendered="#{mybean.flagLoadMyDialog}" on the dialog, and set the flagLoadMyDialog when the button is clicked using ajax.
Also remember to ajax-update the dialog after the button click.
