Re: Help with alpha-numeric text input on MIDP device

Hi Andrzej,

Sorry for the delay in replying, I was busy with a project launch 
last week.

I've been running Thinlet on my Sony Ericsson Z600, a MIDP 1.0 
compliant phone.  I added some extensions to Thinlet to provide 
support for some of the features that assumed the device had a 
keyboard and/or pointing device.  Here's a brief description of what 
I did and the code extensions, ITUTThinlet.java.

- Downloaded the last MIDP-enabled version: thinlet-2002-10-28.zip
- Installed the Sony Ericsson J2ME SDK Version 2.1.2 beta
- Installed the EclipseME plugin, provides integration with one or 
more J2ME wireless toolkits in the Eclipse environment
- Unpacked the distribution and ran Converter.java to produce the 
MIDP version of Thinlet.
- Created a new J2ME project in Eclipse and copied the java files 
and other resources for the Thinlet demo into my Eclipse workspace 
(I used the same directory structure as outlined in the 
thinlet\src\thinlet\midp\readme.txt).
- At this point I was able to build the demo in Eclipse and run it 
in the emulator.
- The package feature provided by the EclipseME plugin produced a 
JAR file that would not run on my phone (out of memory error), I re-
packaged the Demo midlet using KToolBar which worked fine.

Once I had the demo running on the phone I found that I couldn't 
invoke any button actions, enter text into any of the text 
components, or scroll horizontally in tables.

Tabbing out of textarea

I am not sure if anyone else needs this, but I changed the Thinlet.java file to stop tabbing 
out of a text area the a tab is used.  I needed this in order to insert tabs into  a textarea.  
Maybe there was a different way with the standard Thinlet.java file, but I did not see it.

Let me know it this change is needed to be sent out.

Re: Tabbing out of textarea

Paul,

Can you send me a copy of your change to bob <at> azonic.net ?  Just the 
snippet if possible.

That might come in handy.

That's an interesting dilemma !  Tab to move, or tab for spacing ?  
How the heck do you solve that one?  If you follow HTML forms, 
tabbing moves you to the next html form object.  I guess if your app 
has serious "data entry" folks that "have to have tabbing", you can 
have a button to toggle between two "tabbing modes".

Kind of like the "INS" button.  Sometimes it's "INSERT" and sometimes 
it's "OVERWRITE".

A status bar at the bottom of the dialog box could show "TABBING 
STATUS" or something like it.

[newbie] Dynamically changing Dialog size

I'm trying to dynamically change the size of a dialog, but it doesn't 
seem to work.  Can someone shed some light for me?

Here's the XML :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<desktop name="LabOne Link">
	<dialog name="logonDialog" text="Please Logon ..." 
font="verdana bold" top="8" left="8" gap="6" height="115" width="250" 
columns="2" resizable="true">
		<label text="User Name : " alignment="right" />
			<textfield name="userName" columns="20" 
action="setThisUserName(this.text)" />
		<label text="Password : " alignment="right" />
			<passwordfield name="password" columns="20" 
action="setThisPassword(this.text)" />
		<button text="Logon" alignment="center" colspan="2" 
action="validateUser(thinlet, errorMessage)" />
		<label name="errorMessage" alignment="center" 
colspan="2" visible="false"/>
	</dialog>
</desktop>

and here's the code I'm using :

<snip>
 Object dialogObject = thinlet.find("logonDialog");
 thinlet.setInteger(dialogObject, "height", 135);
</snip>

Good news for Java Thinlet Developers: double and half

Good news for Java Thinlet Developers: double and half 

Carlsbad Cubes published an updated version of the Theodore Freeware
Edition. The free, 
visual environment for Thinlet GUI development now supports twice the
number of nodes 
and should now be completely satisfactory for more casual developers.

The price for Theodore-AP Edition, which targets Java Thinlet experts
and professional 
developers, has been cut in half.

About Theodore:
Advanced coding features allow visually creating and modifying the
XML descriptors 
defining a graphical user interface. The developed GUI remains
visible throughout the 
design process and modifications on Widget-properties are rendered in
real-time. By 
preventing illegal Widget combinations, the validating editor ensures
the generation of 
valid XUL (XML User interface Language) descriptors.

  If I may ask twice the number of nodes, that is how
many?

  If I may ask again cut in half, that is how much?

Mouse selection bug correction

There is a bug in thinlet.
When with the mouse you select the button ok of a dlgBox, the action 
associate is executed and the dlgBox disapear. Now, without moving 
the mouse, we click another time the mouse, the same action is 
executed.
To correct the problem we have to do the following in Thinlet.java:

In the processEvent() method we have to call the method findComponent
() when we process MouseEvent.MOUSE_PRESSED case:

else if (id == MouseEvent.MOUSE_PRESSED) {
  if (popupowner != null) { // remove popup
    String classname = getClass(mouseinside);
    if ((popupowner != mouseinside) && (classname != ":popup") && 
(classname != ":combolist")) {
      closeup();
    }
  }
  hideTip(); // remove tooltip

  // modif jb, append findComponent
  findComponent(content, x, y);
  // end modif jb

  mousepressed = mouseinside;
  pressedpart = insidepart;
  handleMouseEvent(x, y, clickcount, shiftdown, controldown,
              popuptrigger, MouseEvent.MOUSE_PRESSED, mousepressed,
              pressedpart);
}

Bean repaint issue.

Hi All,

I have a Thinlet based GUI, and I am using an AWT based Ploting 
Component as a Thinlet Bean inside the GUI.  The Ploting bean makes 
calls to Component.repaint() when the mouse moves on it. Unfortunatly, 
the repaint call doesn't repaint the Component. I tried to call 
getParent().repaint() inside the bean, but it didn't work too. 

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Re: Bean repaint issue.

Hello Ali,

I just did a component that draws to the screen also.
All I did was call this.repaint() from inside the component.

I am not sure how you have yours setup, but I followed the same structure as what was being used for the chart
example in the drafts folder.

Everything seems to work just fine.

Paul
