Locate window dialog

why parent.getLocation()?
you should use yourDialog.getLocation();

and yourDialog.getLocationOnScreen()

Is not necesary to make calls to parent since those methods are public and inherited by your dialog, especialy if the parent is null.

I'm looking for a location to set my dialog. For this I'll consider the main window position, where is the applet.
i.e, I know dialog's location (yourDialog.getLocation();) but I'm looking for parent's dialog position.

and who is the parent dialog? the browser window?

yes. It's where dialog comes.

try this

public class window ....
{
 ...
 public set_Location(int x,int y)
 {
  this.setLocation(x,y);
 }
}

public class my_applet ...
{
 ...
window.set_Location((int)this.getLocation().getX(),(int)this.getLocation().getY());
}

yes. It's where dialog comes.

use yourApplet.getLocation() or yourApplet.getLocationOnScreen()

yes. It's where dialog comes.

Yes loukas the great is write!

perfect solution!

Elladara!!!

like I've said before, use yourApplet.getLocation() or yourApplet.getLocationOnScreen() to determine the applet location, and compute accordingly the desired location of the window.

yes. It's where dialog comes.

It looks easy and logic but doesn't work.
Here's the sequence:

public mainClass extends Applet{

  ...
 
  myClassDialog d= new myClassDialog(this);
  d.show();

}

class myClassDialog extends Dialog{

  myClassDialog(mainClass p);

  //Now i'd like to locate this dialog related to p
  //1: absolute location
  this.setLocation(500,500); //it works
  //2: relative location
  this.setLocation(p.getLocation().getX(),p.getLocation().getY()); //dialog doesn't open
 

}

have you tried with getLoationOnScreen()?

It looks easy and logic but doesn't work.

  this.setLocation(500,500); //it works

I must leave now. If you don't have a solution until tomorrow, I will try to help you.

There is no way to determine the location of the browser window that I know of.

Sorry, but my applet works fine and opens a MODAL dialog relatively to the position of the applet on the screen. The dialog behaves like a native modal dialog, in the sense that you cannot click nothing until you close'it. Tested in IE and Mozilla.

Thanks for your help.
I'll implement a thread to accept inputs from js. It's easy and works.
Best regards

mee too. The applet onscreen location is not enough for you?

yes, it's enough.

I believe there is no thread necesary, since you need those coordinates only when you make the dialog visible.

yes, it's enough.

yes, it's enough.

That's right, I can it on fly.
This is a personal project to public my own java/GIS develops. You can look it through

That's realy nice!

I have some suggestions:
1. You should implement a little doublebuffering to avoid flickering of the applet.
2. Put all classes in a jar file, it will load more quickly. Right now I have a very poor connection.
3. When you move around the map would be interesting if I can press and hold a arrow and the image will move herself, and not by many clicks.

:-) hope do't get me wrong, this are just few opinions. But there is a nice applet.

Thks for your suggestions.
1. (doublebuffering) I've done it creating an image, but it becames the re-rendering slow.
2. (jar) ok
3. (pan) easy with buffers

Have you seen the Dialog?

no

The 8th tool button from the left aims to open it.

I see'it now, but you are not using the applet coordinates yet :).
