Is there a way to turn the ScrollBars off on the DBTreeBean? Because now you get double ScrollBars: both the bean starts to show scrollbars and the form starts to show them, if you move the splitpane to the left and not the entire text can be shown.

Make the bean small and use anchors to grow to all sides!

When you use the dbtree view in a splitpane the bean already grows with it.
As for the scrollbar, this reacts on the data inside the tree, not the bean width/height itself.

So having an option to enable/disable this like other fields have would be a plus.
Not sure why you would want that though...

Paul?

If not consider this a feature request. :D

Yes, is this possible? for instance a default selection?

When using the Tree bean in a splitpane, making the splitpane smaller than the size of the bean on the form where it's placed would result in the showing of two scrollbars on the bottom, which I do not prefer.

Fixed this now by making the bean element very small (5 by 5 pixels). Now I get only 1 scrollbar on the bottom (the SplitPane scrollbar), so I guess there's a workaround for this.

While trying this, I noticed that its not possible to update the size or the location of the Bean element on a form through the property editor. should that work?

I don't see that here. I can make my treebean as large as I want the scrollbars won't appear untill the data inside the tree is larger then the view.
Maybe it's platform related. I use Mac OS X.

Only the beans properties are shown in the properties editor. Anchor properties are not part of a bean.
However you can set the anchors of a bean with the (right-click) contextual menu.

Maybe platform related, but making the element small solves it anyway...

As for the properties: In the bean element property editor, there's location and size, but they are not editable. That's what I mean. I'd think that, if they are there, they should be editable, right?

Also, if there are no nodes under a specific entry, you still see the '+' sign!
Can this be changed?

by **pbakker** » Mon Oct 18, 2004 1:34 pm

Also notices that the hight of each "row" gets changed when clicking the row, altering betwee "+" and "-".

Could this be changed as well?

I assigned a column dataprovider as tooltip text provider in my init method but I can't seem to make it appear.

Code: Select all: DBtreeViewBean.bindNodeTooltipTextDataProvider('mbx_tooltip')

Anyone had any success with this?

Mac OS X 10.3.5, Java 1.4.2-38 (Developer)
SuSE 9.1, Java 1.4.2_03-b02 (client)
Windows XP Proff. SP2, java 1.4.2_05-b04 (client)

Looks great!

How did you do the message preview window? It's not just an htmlpane is it?

by **Harjo** » Tue Oct 19, 2004 9:22 am

Those are two parts

the upper part is a calculation of fields, presented in html in a label
the lower part is just an text area.

If there is html in the mail, than I save it as html file on the disk and open it in the default browser. I do this, because the html-are is real nightmare!
I hope (as Johan, suggested) they will make a new bean/plugin soon, that does a better job.

Nine of ten emails (with html, especially outlook html) shows up as completly empty in a html-area. You can do some substitue things like lower case, etc.. but than again, it is still very ugly!

well there shouldn't be a problem finding a good html+ css *renderer* (there are heaps about both commercial and open source)

Its finding a good wysiwyg html+css editor that is the problem. The best price/value point is sferyx @ ~ $1200 and the next is $8000 for editlive I think it is called.

http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2004/ ... l-pt1.html for renderers

(there are more but there's a start)

jdic looks promising.
Because it is a wrapper for mozilla you will have a hell of a render engine.
Ofcourse I wonder how crossplatform this all is since it uses native code (i.e. mozilla has to be installed on the workstation).

Something that can be distributed through Java webstart?

Just some random thoughts.
