The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
It appears that the Cursor class does not have a "blank" cursor to begin with, so one could define a new "blank" cursor using the Toolkit.createCustomCursor method.
ReplyDeleteHere's one way I've tried which seems to work:
// Transparent 16 x 16 pixel cursor image.
BufferedImage cursorImg = new BufferedImage(16, 16, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
// Create a new blank cursor.
Cursor blankCursor = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(
cursorImg, new Point(0, 0), "blank cursor");
// Set the blank cursor to the JFrame.
mainJFrame.getContentPane().setCursor(blankCursor);
Edit
Regarding the comment about everything inside the JFrame ending up without a cursor, it seems that the Components which are contained in the JFrame will end up inheriting the cursor of the container (the JFrame), so if it is a requirement to have a certain Component have the cursor appear, one would have to manually set the desired cursor.
For example, if there is a JPanel contained in the JFrame, then one could set the cursor of that JPanel to the system's default using the Cursor.getDefaultCursor method:
JPanel p = ...
// Sets the JPanel's cursor to the system default.
p.setCursor(Cursor.getDefaultCursor());
frame.setCursor(frame.getToolkit().createCustomCursor(

"null"));
When using the LWJGL under Mac OS you need to do this:
ReplyDeleteSystem.setProperty("apple.awt.fullscreenhidecursor","true");
I solve this problem much easier:
ReplyDeletefinal Timer cursorTimer = new Timer(2000, new ActionListener() {
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
getContentPane().setCursor(null);
}
});
cursorTimer.start();
addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionAdapter() {
@Override
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
getGlassPane().setCursor(Cursor.getDefaultCursor());
cursorTimer.restart();
}
});
