Re: Beautiful tooltip for TrayIcon - Java Discussion Boards

Your code will run fine but you need to tweek your JDk and JRE.

1. Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp and download Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files 6.

2. In these directories C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\jre\lib\security and C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\security

3. Paste the two jars you downloaded and everything will work.

Thanks Member 4277480 for ur reply, but i did the same with jdk1.5_20 and did exactly what u said, but it isn't working for me.
Any other thing I should do?
Thanks again!!

Upgrade to 6u16! Always use latest JDK.

I will try just that and then c how it works.
I will give u a feed back later!
Thanks!

Thanks a lot Member, ur advice worked perfectly!
I'll now enjoy enciphering and deciphering I guess!!!

Thanks!

Good to hear your progress Smile | :)

-Title :String
-Message :String.
-IconImage : IconImage or path of the image.

Can anybody help me.

Thanks very much !

Best regards !

In short if the TrayIcon class was a JComponent then you can simply apply html tags to it. Therefore, to simulate what you need I will use the jdic.jar from https://jdic.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?expandFolder=4183&folderID=5497.

import javax.swing.*;
import org.jdesktop.jdic.tray.*;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class SystemTrayDemo extends JFrame 
{
	public TrayIcon trayIcon;
	public JDialog dialog;

	public SystemTrayDemo() 
	{

		JPopupMenu menu = new JPopupMenu("Menu");
		JMenuItem menuItem1 = new JMenuItem("Menu1");
		menu.add(menuItem1);

		JMenuItem menuItem2 = new JMenuItem("Menu2");
		menu.add(menuItem2);

		JMenuItem menuItem3 = new JMenuItem("Menu3");
		menu.add(menuItem3);

		JMenuItem menuItem4 = new JMenuItem("Exit");
		menu.add(menuItem4);

		menuItem4.addActionListener(new ActionListener() 
		{
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) 
			{
				System.exit(0);
			}
		});

		ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("middle.gif");
		trayIcon = new TrayIcon(icon, "Hello System Tray", menu);

		SystemTray tray = SystemTray.getDefaultSystemTray();
		tray.addTrayIcon(trayIcon);
		trayIcon.addActionListener(new ActionListener() 
		{
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
			{
				dialog = new JDialog();
				dialog.add(new JLabel("Title"), BorderLayout.NORTH);
				dialog.add(new JLabel("Message"), BorderLayout.CENTER);
				dialog.add(new JLabel(new ImageIcon("middle.gif")),BorderLayout.SOUTH);
				dialog.setLocation(trayIcon.getLocationOnScreen().x - 50,trayIcon.getLocationOnScreen().y - 105);
				dialog.setVisible(true);
				dialog.setSize(100, 100);
				dialog.setResizable(false);
				dialog.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() 
				{
					public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) 
					{
						dialog.dispose();
					}
				});
			}
		});
	}

	public static void main(String[] args) 
	{
		new SystemTrayDemo();
	}
}

The presentation of it is close to aero peek in windows 7.

Hope this helps.

Hi !

I think you didn't understand my question.
I want to display the IconImage on the top-left of the title .

For example,

trayIcon = new TrayIcon(icon, "Hello System Tray", menu);

must be change to

trayIcon = new TrayIcon(icon, "<img src="image.gif">Hello System Tray",menu);

if we can use html tags in our code !

Thanks anyways !

Can anybody help me ?

Best regards !

I understood your question, if you read my first line "If the trayicon class was a Jcomponent then we can use html tags". You can display (as a balloon) the message type error,info,etc... use these in place of the dialog code depending on type:

trayIcon.displayMessage("Title", "Message", trayIcon.INFO_MESSAGE_TYPE);  
trayIcon.displayMessage("Title", "Message", trayIcon.NONE_MESSAGE_TYPE); 
trayIcon.displayMessage("Title", "Message", trayIcon.WARNING_MESSAGE_TYPE); 
trayIcon.displayMessage("Title", "Message", trayIcon.ERROR_MESSAGE_TYPE);

otherwise what your asking can only be done if you write your own package.

Regards

If using a JDialog or JFrame or JPanel to display an image(instead of the tooltip of TrayIcon) i think it is very simple and i didn't post my question.

I posted this question because i saw the "beautiful tooltip" of trayIcon of windowXP "your computer might be at risk". The Iconimage of the tooltip is not in (WARNING,INFO,ERROR,NONE) images.

I'm waiting for a solution for this because Microsoft did it !

Any other ideas ?

Best regards !

I was cruising around to see if their is any third party packages that can do what your asking and I stumbled upon an article on codeproject.com but its not in Java its using windows pressentation foundation but it does exaclty what you ask:

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/wpf_notifyicon.aspx

All you need now is to get Visual C# express and get the risk icon (what i did in windows 7 rc go to windows firewall and click on turn of firewall you will get the red x snap it using the snap tool and go to photoshop to do some editing and you can then save it as 16 x 16 icon and name it Inactive.ico) then copy it and place it in the c:\...wpf-notifyicon\Sample Project\Icons folder, then rebuild the code and run, you will find at the bottom right corner custom notification message.

Hope this helps. I will try to ask sun about it but you said it your self Microsoft did it with their language not Java

Regards

Thank you for a clear solution from Microsoft Tech.

Im Still waiting for your "asking result" from Sun.

Best regards !

i want to develop a software by which once can remotely access one system, the program should be such that is should be platform independent, as in, a apple system can remote login a ubuntu system and the controls for the mouse, screen and board is transferred.

Also let me know, how to enable which port in that case, as port is dependent on the operating system as in 3389 for windows, 5900 for ubuntu i guess, any pointers for that.
Please let me know.

0. Remove you're e-mail address - it's a big invite to the Vikings.
1. Have you tried some diagnostics? Put some logging into your code and find out where things are going Lady Gaga, then post a nice little snippet to show what's gone wrong with an explanation of what you tried.
2. ??
3. Profit.

Panic, Chaos, Destruction.
My work here is done.

Sending an Email in Java (Servlet)

Prerequisites:
1. Java Mail API (mail.jar)
2. activation.jar
3. HTML Form (Optional)
4. Servlet or JSP (to send the email)

Steps:
1. Download and install JDK6U16
2. Download Apache Tomcat
3. Download Eclipse
4. In Eclipse, make sure to add the apache server first
5. Create a dynamic web project
6. Under the WEB-INF create a folder called lib and paste mail.jar and activation.jar
7. Create a jsp and call it index.jsp
8. Create a servlet and call it sendMail
9. Create a class called MyPasswordAuthenticator (will act as authentication or you can use the code inside the sendMail as you like)
10. Create two jsps (success and error)
11. Create a css file called style

index.jsp Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Sending email</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<center>
<form action="sendMail" method="get">   
<table>
<tr>
<td>From</td>
<td><input type="text" name="from"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<tr>
<td>To</td>
<td><input type="text" name="to"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Subject</td>
<td><input type="text" name="subject"></td>
</tr>    
<tr>
<td>Message</td>
<td><textarea cols="25" rows="8" name="message"></textarea></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
</center>
</body>
</html>

style.css

* { font-size: 12px; font-family: Verdana }
input, textarea { border: 1px solid #ccc }
textarea { text-align:left}
table { margin-top: 10% }
.error { margin-top: 10%; border: 1px dotted #db1f1f; width: 250px }

Thanks Member 4277480 for ur reply

SIR i deployed your coding in NET-BEANS.
The files like
index.jsp
error.jsp
success.jsp
style.css
MyPasswordAuthenticator.java
sendMail.java

was easily uploded into it but
in case of mail.jar & activation.jar
i downloaded the javamail-1.4.2 and jaf-1_1_1
rar files from sun.com and then there is a confusion on by which
name they are to be import to source library..
i gave the names javamail-1.4.2 and jaf-1_1_1 and give path to jar files....

i also provided the gmail account and password , but i am not able to send the mail.
would you please tell whether you were succeeded in doing it and help me out sir, it is very important for me.
please provide a bit more details
I need your helping hand
please help....

what i think that i haven't configured any smtp server.
Could you please tell what should i do for it...
i think i am missing this thing only
reply soon

modified on Friday, September 11, 2009 5:17 AM

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yygnyhmd1dg
1. Download rar from above.
2. Open it using Eclipse (JDK6U16)
3. When you provide your account make sure its in the format email@gmail.com

All done.

To setup a personal smtp read this guide:
http://www.ehow.com/how_4489548_set-up-smtp-server-windows.html

Good Luck

hello sir

the link you provide
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yygnyhmd1dg

is not working, the rar file is not available..
please look at it
also tell me that, the code you provided me is just sufficient to send message
or i need to configure a smtp server also..
because i am just running your code

please reply soon...

http://rapidshare.com/files/282003437/SendingEmail.rar.html[^]

Yes it is sufficient, after extracting the rar open it using Eclipse (with apache) then modify

String username = "your gmail account"; // in the form myemail@gmail.com
String password = "your gmail password";

then launch index.jsp and your done.

Good luck

well Member 4277480
i am trying your code but it still not sending them.
Tell me whether i have to configure some smtp settings
to the gmail account which i am using here.
also if possible please send some important screenshot
like when configuring tomcat server.
also tell me what is this program actually doing, is this sending the mails to any client by using my email address in FROM: option.
do i need to configure any port

Please help me this last time...
I am very close to successfully running it..
Please reply with screenshots

I attached the files again with screenshots:
http://rapidshare.com/files/284210076/Email.rar.html[^]

But honestly if you have done some web programming this should not take this long to configure. Anyways its always good to help others.

Good luck
