can anyone tell me how to position an oracle form in the middle of the screen when maximize the window ?
Actually i have a form when i run it, it displayed at the upper left corner of the screen but i want it to be displayed in the center of the screen even while enlarge the window.
You can use CSS style for make this form middle of the page.
Is that form have fixed width?
Then use this style
.formSelector{margin: 0 auto;}
I think it will be working.

I have an MS Access form where I have the main navigation page set to be centered and it works... kinda.
This form file has to be used on monitors of many different aspect ratios: 3:4, 16:9, and 21:9. When the form opens, it is properly centered in whatever window it opens. But when that window is then maximized, it doesn't re-center and instead sticks to the left side of the screen. Sometimes if I move it between monitors, the form is far 'off screen' in its own window and I have to scroll in the form to bring it into view, then it's stuck on the right hand side of the form.
Is there a way to force the form to re-evaluate what "centered" means?
It depends on how you are centering. The easiest way for objects to be dynamic is to use the form layout tool called "Anchoring". I like to make my layout expand to fill up the window to allow centered objects to remain centered as the window changes.
I have a Form that take a BoxLayout, to be able to add different custom controls one after the other in the Y-AXIS
but there is a Component that I need to add in the bottom of the screen, but as I'm using the BoxLayout so I can't fix it size to bottom of the screen
So I think that I can set that Container of the control to fill the parent Form
So the question is how to make Container fill the parent Form in LWUIT
Thanks in Advance
Why don't you try to put a BorderLayout in the Form?
You can put Containers in CENTER and SOUTH positions, and they let you place your controls as you want (BoxLayout Axis Y in the center).
Is that what you want?
While testing our app with a new set of translations, I found that the translated text for some of the buttons are significantly wider than the english. The result is that the button text wraps to a 2nd line, which is either cut off by the button, or floating below on a 2nd line. It seems like I need to get the rendered width of the text in order to dynamically resize the buttons, assuming there's space in the layout for a wider button.
Is there a way to get the width of the rendered text of a button?
Unless you are using a monospace font for the buttons (why not do so, actually?), and render it using CSS en / em / ex units, you cant really predict the text width, only make an educated guess.
i like to design entire html with GWT.
but when i press ctrl and + then entire html must be zoomed from center not from upper left
corner.
then what type of panel should i use?
flow panel , stack panel i dont know.
Any, but your root panel should have a fixed (or minimum) width and be centered.
Flowpanels are based on divs, so that's what you probably want.
i have a select box with height: 60px. when i user clicks an option, i would want that option text to appear on the lower bottom of the select box...however safari and chrome automatically vertically aligns the text in the middle.
I have tried increasing line-height, padding-top, margin-top...but these do NOT work for safari/chrome.
please help, if this type of styling in "impossible" for safari/chrome. please let me know as well. Thanks in advance!
Unfortunately you can't style select elements generated by Safari and Chrome. What you're dealing with has been coined Shadow DOM: http://glazkov.com/2011/01/14/what-the-heck-is-shadow-dom/
Essentially the browser creates elements that all of the select box to function as the page is being rendered, but these elements can't be styled by CSS.
I would recommend using a tool like Chosen: http://harvesthq.github.com/chosen/ if you're looking to do some heavy styling of select boxes. It uses javascript to place elements on top of the select box, replacing its functionality and allowing you to style it with CSS.
