Re: Re: SwiXML and FormLayout

Could you post your update of OZebee´s work? I would
also like to use SwiXML with JGoodies Form Layout.

TIA & best regards,
Álvaro Coronel.

OS X - Can't quit program with "Apple Q"

I am running a very simple program:

        JFrame frame = new JFrame();

        frame.setSize(200, 200);

       

        try {
            SwingEngine engine = new SwingEngine();

            engine.render(MainFrame.class.getResource("test.xml"));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            System.exit(-1);
        }

        frame.setVisible(true);

The "test.xml" file only has the following three lines:

    

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <panel>
    </panel>

When I run the program on windows, I can quit the program using "Alt-F4". However,  on OS X, "Apple-Q" does not cause the program to quit. I noticed if I comment out the line:
"engine.render(MainFrame.class.getResource("test.xml"));",
the program is able to quit using "Apple Q". Anybody know why this is happening? What does engine.render() do that causes it to not be able to quit? Thanks in advance,
Andrew

constraints attribute doesn't work for menubar

Hello,

specifying constraints attribute for menubar tag doesn't have any affect.
here is the possible fix for the problem. Parser.addChild method
should be modified like this:

      //  Set a JMenuBar for JFrames, JDialogs, etc.
      //
      if (component instanceof JMenuBar) {
        try {
          Method m = parent.getClass().getMethod("setJMenuBar", new
Class[]{JMenuBar.class});
          m.invoke(parent, new Object[]{component});
        } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
!                       if (constrains == null) {
!                               parent.add(component);
!                       }
!                       else {
!                               parent.add(component, constrains);
!                       }
        } catch (Exception e) {
          // intentionally empty
        }

Re: constraints attribute doesn't work for menubar


Hello Vitali,

this sounds sensible and useful to me. Allthough the constraints of a menu bar seems to be not used *that*
much (or this would have been discovered earlier) I would like to integrate it.

Wolf, any objections?

Re: constraints attribute doesn't work for menubar

I agree it's not used that much (though we do use it)
but this can be seen rather as a framework consistency issue then a
practical one.

ConstraintsConverter and Converter interface

Hello,

Why ConstraintsConverter doesn't implemente Converter interface, and why
when ConstraintsConverter is used we don't use ConverterLibrary to
retrieve ConstraintsConverter ?

With this, it's very hard to add support for new Layout :(
I can't juste register my own ConstraintsConverter and LayoutConverter :(

Could you change this ?

patch for JDK 5.0 for JFrame layout

Hello,

I think swixml doesn't work properly with JDK 5.0.

I have modified Parser.java to detect RootPaneContainer when we want to
get LayoutManager.

Before this patch, i can't change layout on frame, after there is no probleme.

+    }

Hello,

Indeed, the framework is more consistent by that.

I integrated your patch and wrote a small sample program for it to test
it. Unfortunatly, I have some problems regarding my CVS access to
cvs.dev.java.net. Will try again tomorrow...

Yours,

Frank

iX Article

Hello Swixm-Users,

I might point out the german it-magazine "iX" mentioned Swixml in some
paragraphs regarding XML, issue august 2005. It caught my eye as I
flipped through the pages and something reminded me on the "Layout
Example" at www.swixml.org ;)

Yours,

Frank
