I have a collegue who uses PowerJ/DW for client server apps.
Here is his issue:
"
We have been working successfully with the Java Datawindow object so far,
it works well, behaving like the Powerbuilder Datawindow we're still
using, but we ran into difficulties including this Java Datawindow into
the application, graphics-wise.
Until now, we had been including the Datawindow on a JFrame object, using
X-Y kind of coordinates, and it worked well.
Recently, we tried to include the Datawindow in a layout-managed panel,
and the datawindow hasn't been able to display itself. We thought there
was a problem with the Java Layout management, and we gave up, having
found another solution.
Then, we met the need of integrating the Datawindow into TabbedPanes for
our application. To achieve this, the Datawindow has to be added to a
Panel object, that will be handled by the TabbedPane to show the panel
associated to the tab. We have been able to display buttons, fields,
everything but Datawindows.
There is a similarity between the Layout and the Panel troubles, being the
need to transfer the display of the Datawindow to Java managers, instead
of displaying it straight on a JFrame with coordinates.
As soon as we need to let Java handle the Datawindow positionning and
drawing, the datawindow won't show, even when we activate the "enable" or
"visible" properties.
Is this a reported problem, maybe is there a known solution for this ?
We would highly appreciate any answer to our problem."
Can you help?
