I am writing a fat client application that I would ideally like to be cross-platform, but may settle for Windows-only based on the following: I am much stronger in C# than Java (though I have a few years Enterprise Java experience) I haven't done much with either Windows Forms or Java Swing, just toy apps for each, though I'm more comf...
I want to rotate a UILabel around the X axis, and animating it. But when the animation starts, the text of the label is cut in two, horizontally. The bottom half disappears, the upper half is rotating. Why? Here's the code: CATransform3D _3Dt = CATransform3DMakeRotation(radians(90.0f), 1.0, 0.0, 0.0); CABasicAnimation *transformAnimat...

Hi, I was looking through the sample gwt code provided with gwt, and in hacking around with it - i had two questions re. things that we'nt particularly clear to me (code posted below - slightly long: sorry) 1) The popup dialog box doesnt seem to be set to be 'hidden' at first, and even though its been assembled, it doesnt actually show...
I'm working on a GUI for a chess game and I was wondering if there's any way to check for a series of clicks, for example: user clicks on jPanel THEN user clicks on another jPanel that exists in valid move array. I know I could use a variable to store some kind of state like "isSquareClicked = true" or something but I'd rather not unless...

So imho LayeredPane don`t fit for this - there is no any aligment on it. Have one idea - to imitate buttons: create my class for panel override pain...
Let's say I have a GUI with multiple types of viewers of user objects. For example, a tree view, a list view and a diagram view. The three views show the same objects. If a user deletes an object from one view, I would like to fire off an event to notify the other two views. I currently do this by exposing an event on the object itself. ...
I'm using netbeans to create a GUI application. I've made a main form with a panel that I want other jPanels I make to be placed in. It seems like this should be simple to do seeing as the create new context menu allows me to make plain java panels. I've made all the variables public on the new frame also. EDIT: I have a separate class...
Hey, I've come across a strange problem whilst trying to mimic the native iPhone page transitions (slide current page out and new page in). Here's my current code (extracted from a larger file, with no errors when debugging, so code logic doesn't seem to be the problem): Notes: A new page is created when a link on the current page i...
I've noticed that GTK has a uniform feel across all platforms, which is great for Linux lovers, but not so great for people who prefer their native GUI feel. I haven't used Qt properly yet, which is why I'm unable to say that this is the best choice to provide the most native feel for each platform - so could someone please confirm whet...

I've been seeing this type of dialogue appear in different forms in various apps and I'm wondering whether it's a part of Cocoa Touch or a custom jobby. You can see it here, in Tweetie 2.0: If this is a custom jobby, could anyone offer any pointers as to how to get something like this working? I'm looking to do something similar with ...
We would like to use balloon messages as described in the UX Guide from Microsoft. I found some samples which uses native code from Windows Forms, but the native code requires a handle to the component which a bit difficult for a WPF application since it doesn't follow the same concept. I found some sample code which uses WPF's decorato...
I would like to try to write a GUI application in Python. I found out that there are a lot of ways to do it (different toolkits). And, in this context, I have several basic (and I think simple) question? Is it, in general, a good idea to write a GUI application in Python? What is the standard (easiest and most stable) way to create a G...
I'm currently working on making my Swing application look better. I want to achieve something along these lines: The idea is for each box to have a pretty header with a background similar to the above image. The closest I can get to anything like this using basic Swing components is adding a TitledBorder but this is nothing close to w...
I suppose this is a long shot considering how few Wonderware questions I've seen on here, but anyway... The FileReadFields function in Wonderware is supposed to parse a CSV file into memory tags. There are no debug messages when stuff doesn't work in Wonderware (not my choice of HMI software, that's for sure), so I have no idea why thi...
In my application I use tabs, my own component, like Google chrome sort of. Each tab reference an explorer component so it is basicly a tabbed browser/explorer. My problem is that I want to use Ctrl Tab and Ctrl Shift Tab to navigate tabs. Setting forms.KeyPreview will not help since the tab key is special key. How can I, in an easy way,...

Currently with swt, I sometimes want a program to arbitrarily come to the foreground (like an alarm clock might). Typically the following works (jruby): @shell.setMinimized(false) @shell.forceActive This brings the shell to the front if it was minimized. Creating a new shell at any time also brings the (new shell) to the front. So ...
