I found an example # http://matthewryan.info/netbeans/5.0/netbeans_mdi.html
But those options aren't present in the most recent version of netbeans. Is there another way to make internal frames using the builder or is it necessary to make the panels separately then add to a jinternalframe?
The JInternalFrame is available in the Swing palette. They renamed it InternalFrame in the newest versions however. It can be found in the Swing Containers section.
Remember that you need to place the JInternalFrame inside a JDesktopPane and you should always place a JPanel inside the JInternalFrame as the top level component for the frame.

I'd like to add support to removing the widgets from p:dashboard via dragging the panel out of dashboard, such as in WordPress admin panel.
I've found out the examples of dragging the widgets between 2 dashboards, but in my case I need to have callback when the element is dragged out of dashboard, no matter where. The widget would be than removed. However, I couldn't find any example for such behaviour.
What components/tools to use to implement such functionality? I'm using PrimeFaces 3.4.
Use draggable component with dashboard keyword;
<p:draggable for="widget" dashboard=":dbForm:dashboard"/>
And check this solutions on forum page of primefaces: Dashboard Drag and Drop
Hope it'll help you.
Good Luck!
in a former thread ( Adding a user interface to an image viewer plugin ) I have got some good insight on how to add GUI controls to a firebreath plugin. Taxilian pointed out that when I use a windowed plugin under Windows it should be straighforward. Basically like developing any other Windows App.
Now, to make sure I understand correctly. I'm suppose to create a child window from the window handle supplied by the onWindowAttached event. To create such a child window I need to register such windows class with ::RegisterClassEx(...) to have my own Window Procedure. Is that correct? I mean how else would get access to WM_COMMAND events?
Once that is done I need to ::CreateWindowEx(...) my child window with the hwnd from the plugin.
Is that the right way of thinking?
Thanks ahead,
Christian
Actually creating a child window is optional; WM_COMMAND events for your actual plugin window will be delivered encapsulated in a WindowsEvent that you can catch the same way you get an AttachedEvent. All windows events are sent that way.
Another option is to do what you describe and register a new class with a WINPROC and create a child window. The main reason for doing that would be that you might be able to more easily interact with an abstraction like wxWidgets, etc because it will not know what FireBreath is to get events from it that way. Either method should work fine.
This is more of a best practices question rater than something technical.
I'm working on a mobile app using the Flex 4.5 SDK and I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle notification windows. In most cases these windows will be alerting the user to when something goes wrong. Ex: bad login, no data, cannot resolve server.
I'm using a singleton design pattern, I have a Requests class that handles server calls. Most popups will be originating from this class (IOErrorEvents from my loader being used to access the API). Since this class is a singleton and is used from all Views inside the app it is not aware of applications current view. I'm also not sure having this class keep track of the current view and having it push popups on top of it would be best practice.
I'm hoping that I can use PopUpManager to keep track of where to add popups and what popups are currently on the stage. Though all examples I've seen online about this show static Components being used in a views Declarations tag.
I'm really just looking for any examples or input on how you would solve this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I had the same problem, and sorted it by making an Alert popup component that you can call from anywhere in the code base, and it will pop up in the currently active window. It also has an always visible scrollbar text area which is handy

It works for a view navigator application, but if your using a tabbed navigator application, you can add a call for that, or simply change the code to
mainTabbedNavigator = FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.tabbedNavigator;
currentTab = mainTabbedNavigator.selectedNavigator as ViewNavigator;
I am trying to use monodevelop. Just at the beginning I came across an issue:
I was following a tutorial on building a Gtk application (http://monodevelop.com/Stetic_GUI_Designer). I was trying to drag a button from the Widgets Palette. Nothing happened. I'd been trying quite a few times without any luck.
After a break I launched monodevelop again and I simply placed a button on the window of the application. After that I removed it, dragged VBox container, and placed menu bar on the window, according to the tutorial instructions. I was pleasantly surprised.
By the second try the same problem occurred - I was not able to drag any widgets. Dragging was beginning, there was a “+” sign at the cursor and then - nothing was happening. I cannot figure out what happened by the first time, what the difference was. Have anyone had a similar problem? Monodevelop looks promising, but I can't go on with it. (I tried placing 'Fixed' container on the window, with no result - I could not drag it.)
(monodevelop v. 2.4, ubuntu 11.04, Polish language.
I did look for an answer to my problem, without much luck, that is why I post this question. The problem is described quite precisely. There is a probability that others encountered the same issue.)
You need to drag a container on the form first before you can add widgets to it. The VBox container is an example of a place where you can put your widgets.
If you want to place widgets where ever you want you can use the Fixed container. If you want things to align you can use the VBox, HBox or Table containers. Placing in a widget in one of the fields will automatically adjust the size of this field to fit the widget you have dragged into it.
So basically,
Create a form
Drag a container on the form
Drag a widget inside the container.
These widgets are not to be confused with the custom made widgets (in your Solution browser, right click the folder User Interfaces and click Add Widget...). These are like forms. I use these to create GUI's in advance so I can call these while the program is running.
FYI: if you want to create code for a widget (like a button) you can't just double click it like in Visual Studio. You need to select it, the go to the properties pane, and change the tab from Properties to Signals. You can then double click the "signal" to create the event for which you want to create code. For a button this is usually the Clicked event (somewhere at the bottom of the list, you'll need to open the Button Signals)
You can always visit the IRC channel of Monodevelop on irc://irc.gimp.org/monodevelop (IRC.Gimp.org #monodevelop)
I also sit in this channel and can help with smaller problems and I also still use Monodevelop 2.4.
I'm using IntelliJ to do Java Development for an application where we use JSF in a few places. In the .jsp file I have defined my backing class and the code runs properly.
My question is: How do I set up my environment so that when I center click on the method names, which use EL format, IntelliJ navigates to the proper method in the proper class.
Having taken a quick look at my IntelliJ install, if you go to File->Settings, there should be a keymap section under the IDE Settings header. Make a new keymap profile other than default. You can probably just copy the default and give it a new name. In the actions window, open Main Menu->Go To and there should be an action called "Implementation(s)". The description of this action seems to match what you are looking for. Click Add Mouse Shortcut, and center click in the click pad area to set it. I didn't want to actually change my settings, so I didn't finish the steps myself, but this should do what you are wanting to do. It may warn you that you are overwriting a shortcut to another action, so be aware of that.
Hope this helps.
This is using IntelliJ Version 9 beta.
in JSP I am using something like this
<%--#elvariable id="owner" type="com.mysite.data.Owner"--%>
This is a comment specific for intellij I guess. In this way when the owner variable is used anywhere like:
${owner.name}
is known to intellij that is of a Owner type. Intellij then automatically go to the class definition by pressing CTRL+B or middle mouse button.
This is working with intellij idea 9 beta and I remember that this feature was broken in 8.1.1. Prob it is working again in 8.1.x
Probably the same approch will also work for JSF.
