How to set Default opening window in Swing?

Image
By User



I have an application that has two different login windows for two different types of users of application, say one is client and the other is administrator , now i want to have an option on both the Login windows to set the default opening window, something like a checkbox having label as set this is as your default Login window ..





How can i achieve this??





May i use a .properties file to set the default window? (and How?)





Or, a Main.java class which loads first and decides the default GUI window to load first??





I preferred the 2nd way...but your views are welcomed, also please provide some example codes to accomplish this task.

    add a JCheckbox on both login windows. When the user logs in succesfully, look up the value of the checkboxes, set a preference using:

    private static enum LoginWindow {
    CLIENT, ADMIN;
    }
    ...
    Preferences prefs = Preferences.userNodeForPackage(this);
    if (client.getSetAsDefaultCheckbox().getValue())
    prefs.put("PREF_WIND",LoginWindow.CLIENT.name());
    else if (admin.getSetAsDefaultCheckbox().getValue())
    prefs.put("PREF_WIND",LoginWindow.ADMIN.name());


    When you load your application:

    Preferences prefs = Preferences.userNodeForPackage(this);
    String prefWindow = prefs.get("PREF_WIND",null);
    if (prefWindow!=null) {
    LoginWindow loginWindow = LoginWindow.valueOf(prefWindow);
    switch(loginWindow) {
    case ADMIN:
    // switch to admin
    break;
    case CLIENT:
    // switch to client
    break;
    }
    } else
    // Default

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
