uic-user — Questions and answers for users of the uic

Re: NaturalLayout

[Roy v. d. K. <ro...@va...>]

Hi James,

Welcome to UIC. I am sorry for the 'odd' format that is on the website now. I 
have heard a succes for people after they have renamed the file to 
uic.tar.gz. I am pretty sure winzip (and probably winrar too) understands 
that format.

If that doesn't work you can try the CVS version. I don't think NaturalLayout 
hasn't changed since the latest public release. So that shouldn't make any 
difference.

Hope that helps
Roy

PS: Next version will be available in zip and tar.gzip format.

NaturalLayout

[Longyu M. <lm...@ya...>]

Hi there,
   
  I just downloaded the NaturalLayout compressed file (
  http://uic.sourceforge.net/index.phtml?target=product/NaturalLayout/view.phtml
  ) and want to have a look at it. But I cannot uncompress it. The downloaded file is a src-2.1.1_uic.tar file. After I uncompress it with my WinRAR (in WindowsXP) the result file is a src-2.1.1_uic file. I have no idea how to handle that file.
   
  Anybody can help me?
   
  thanks

Re: FileChooser handling directories in the fileName field

[Roy v. d. K. <rva...@fa...>]

Hi Mathew,

Thanks for trying out UIC. Great to hear it (the basis) works for you. We use 
most of the components on a daily basis as well. Although UIC hasn't been on 
heavy development there are still some things I'd like to get done.

I will investigate your patch since it sounds like it will improve usability a 
great deal. Hopefully a release can be created in the near future, containing 
your patch. Previous fixes where more java 1.6 targetted as well.. and some 
fixes are only in CVS and not online. So I guess it's time for a new version 
anyways :)

Thanks again for your feedback and happy coding
Roy

FileChooser handling directories in the fileName field

[Matthew B. <mat...@la...>]

I found your project today and started working with it.  FileChooser to 
be a great improvement over JFileChooser.  I found that typing 
directories (especially absolute paths) into the file area did not work 
well.  Even though there is a directory combo box, I think users are 
used to being able to navigate from here.

I made these changes for my own use.  Please feel free to use if you 
find them useful.

    private void acceptFileSlot() {
        File f = getSelectedFile();
        if (f != null ) {
            if (f.isDirectory()) {
                directory.setSelectedItem(f);
+                fileName.setSelectedItem("");   // clear typed 
directory from fileName after accepting
            }
            else {
                // store selected files...
                storeLastVisitedFiles(f);
                // notify listeners a File has been selected..
                firePropertyChange(FILE_ACCEPTED, null, f);
            }
        }
    }


    public File[] getSelectedFiles() {
        Object selectedItem = fileName.getSelectedItem();
        if (selectedItem == null || selectedItem.equals("")) return new 
File[0];
        // it might be a file selected from history...
        // this cannot be a string since otherwise "the current 
directory" will be added to..
        if (selectedItem instanceof File) return new 
File[]{(File)selectedItem};

        String selectedString = ((String)selectedItem).trim();
        if (selectedString.charAt(0) != '\"')
        {
+            File f = getFile((File)directory.getSelectedItem(), 
selectedString);

Re: first popup when clicking on uicdateedit not working properly

[roy v. d. k. <rva...@fa...>]

Hi Graham,

I think we need to make a release very soon :). The last changes we made 
included fixes for java 1.5 and 6. Especially for the date edit component. I 
am not sure if you can manage to build it yourself from the latest sourcecode 
available in CVS. If not we will probably be making a release for this so 
that you can download the latest snapshot from sourceforge.

Thanks for your bug-report and time!

I'm also seeing this problem. I'm running UIC-2.0 on Java 1.5.0_07 on

if i either change the month or hide and reopen the popup, it works
fine.

Here's a screenshot of what's going on

Re: Missing FontSelectionBase.java

[<ro...@va...>]

Hi Jesse,

In all examples the ....Base.java files are generated classes. They are
generated from .ui files, created by designer.

There are 3 ways to create these files:
1. with ant (see the examples)
2. by hand (use the uic.UIC class)
3. By maven (this is currently in development and not completly perfect
yet, but I use it in many projects)

Normally we provide an ant file and you should be able to call ant
compile. This would create the java file(s).

Hope this help.

I would advice you create a widget in designer and then set that widget
on a SimpleDialog instead of a normal JDialog.

How to pop up a dialog window?

[FCG HU Z. <Zhe...@al...>]

hi,
=20
I am writing my own main window, that is, I used mainFrame =3D new
JFrame(...) to create my own main window, and used
mainFrame.getContentPane().add(...) to add my own Panel (subclass of the
class generated by UIC, which is a subclass of JPanel) to the main
window.

I have a button on the main window, and I would like to pop up a modal
dialog window whenever the button is pressed.

Should I create the dialog window in QtDesigner as a Widget or Dialog?
And how could I let the dialog pop up?

If I create the dialog window as a Dialog, the generated class is a
subclass of JDialog, but I can not find a way to set its parent. The
constructor JDialog(Frame parent, String title, boolean modal) is not
visible to my code. Maybe I need to make it a Widget, and then add it to
the ContentPane of a new JDialog(parent, title, true)?

Re: QtDesigner compatibility

Hi James,

I must say I am not using the windows version myself (I work on linux). But on

Please let us know if you run into any problems using either version, so I can

Hi Rafael,

Sorry for my late reaction. I've been a bit busy lately. Thanks for the 
translation, I will add it to cvs.

When you want to use you're own translation, you need to set the localisation 
settings.

For example:
Translate.setLocale("nl","NL");
For the dutch localization.

Hope that helps.
