I have a very busy GUI - lots of textboxes - the end result needs to be 21 columns with 24 text boxes in each column (1 text box for each hour of the day) I am over half way there.
I am getting frustrated with things moving on me as I add a text box or as I adjusted an existing box or title or label.
Is there a way to "lock down" things once I am happy with the look so that I know they can't move and then continue adding pieces?
Is there something I am missing with this problem. I am using (right-click) same size and align (left to column) functions to help. These help some. But I still run into the magic text box that when dropped in things move all around on me.
I am using NetBeans 7.3.1
Thanks
I have had similar problems and issues.
Two suggestions: 1) I have found that if I skip the order I place the textboxes helps with things moving. Meaning - if I had a column of boxes, i would place every other one then go back and fill in. It seemed to behave.
2) you might check into using the swing layout - check the Oracle site.
good luck

I use "editor.cursorSurroundingLines": 10, so when im navigating with keyboard (what i do 99% of the time) i have room to see below my cursor and i love this, however when i do use my mouse and i click within 10 lines of the top or bottom of screen, it scrolls (which is ok) but then decides to select/highlight all the text within those lines, which is dumb and annoying.
Anyone know any potential fixes to this?
(i just noticed it selects x amount based on the delay of me releasing the left mouse button)
Let me know if you need more info and sorry if this has been asked before, i could not find anything relevant to my issue.
Thanks
Example
Others have asked this question before, but no one has provided an actual answer to it. I can't get all of the marks/labels to display in my Tableau visualizations.
Selecting "allow labels to overlap" does not fix the problem. That displays several hidden labels for the smallest of the areas, and it places those labels at the top of the bars, ignoring the formatting that sets the labels to the bottom. However, whether or not that option is checked, the empty areas in the screen shot stay empty. And those areas are clearly large enough to display the missing labels without encroaching on any other label.
I'm guessing this is a bug in Tableau because there's no reasonable explanation as to why this is happening, but I'm new to Tableau and unsure how to address this.
While I can offer no explanation, this has been a reported problem for several years. Tableau's own documentation states to check the Allow marks to overlap checkbox, yet that doesn't always work.
I don't know if it's a bug so much as it is a complicated calculation for the rendering engine to determine what will and won't fit into a space. To the human eye it will fit but it's possible the underlying calculations inside Tableau don't see it that way. I find that particularly on dual-axis charts (like yours) this happens more frequently. I've done two things to get around it when it comes up:
Change font family or font size
Put more info into the tooltips so the end user sees the data when they hover.
If you wish to pursue this as a bug, you will need to contact Tableau Support and file a case. They will ask you to submit a twbx file to reproduce the issue.
I hope that helps.
Label -> Font -> Automatic solved the problem for me
You can select individual marks, right click to pop up a menu, and specify whether to always hide or always show the labels for the selected marks (overriding the default behavior)
Accomplished half part of the project in Google web designer and got a trouble with text formatting:
When creating a text field with the size say 800*300 pixels - it corrects the width and it became exact 230 pixels. When I go to another field - previous seems to be correct sized (800*300).
When I try to work with this field - it becomes 230 pixels width again.
It drives me crazy I can't work!
If I create a new project - everything works fine.
But I can't do anything with my initial project.
What's the problem? Is there any wy to get rid of this?
Try editing the css of the block to match the dimensions you need. Select the text box first and on the Right hand sidebar, you should find a CSS option.
I am using Google Apps Script and the Apps Script UI Builder, which is based on GWT widgets.
If I create a Flow Panel, and add two Labels of 50% width, then these labels appear on separate lines. But isn't 50% + 50% = 100%.
How do I make them appear on the same line?
To try it out yourself:
Open a Google Spreadsheet.
In the Spreadsheet menu, click: Tools / Script Editor...
In the Script Editor menu, click: File / Build a user interface...
Add the widgets to the canvas.
Of course this question doesn't just apply to the problem with the labels. In general I am totally puzzled concerning how to build flowing layouts with the UI Builder. There seem to be (hidden?) paddings and margins that make things very hard.
It's all based on CSS and its box model, and that issue has accumulates cruft over the last 15 years or so. In essence, the widths you specify don't take into account margings (and/or possibly padding, it's been a while), so you will need to add a stylesheed that minimizes them. See something like this CSS reset.
Labels translate to <div>s, which appear on different lines by default. You could try adding float: left to the labels, or change the display mode, etc.
You could also try InlineLabels, which I think compile to <span>s.
If you've already tried all this, then your Labels are apparently just too wide. It's annoying that two 50% objects wouldn't fit on the same line, but what isn't annoying about working with HTML and CSS?
The solution is simple. For both labels, set to zero:
Borders and Margins / Margin
Don't know why I didn't see that yesterday - I was doing a night shift... ;-)
I have a combo box that when I open it should show text like
However I get something like
with the scrollbar set to middle. Thing is sometimes for the same values it shows properly
and sometimes it shows from middle(for same value).
I want it to show properly like in the first image and I've tried a couple of things but with no succes.
itemSection.setHoverAlign(Alignment.LEFT);
itemSection.setTextAlign(Alignment.LEFT);
itemSection.setAlign(Alignment.LEFT);
... and other irelevand stuff ...
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks alot!
If I am not getting wrong, You want to set your scrollbar at particular position. FOr that you need to ovverride the css of that and try to set scrollbar position to 0. So that your problem will get solved.
The problem with any kind of selections box is, that the boxes display and behave completely different across browsers. The older the browser the worse it handles long texts in selection boxes (some just truncate the text). I suggest to keep the displayed text as short as possible. That way you can avoid this problem.
If you really need long description, you can try to add a tooltip to every entry. Or use a different widget to make the select from, e.g. some custom widget in a separate dialog...
