Hi lonelystar,

Nice work. Any tip on how to choose other languages, rr it's done automatically?

Something go wrong with the demo here,it seems resources are missing. (B4J 1.8)error2_MouseClicked,warning2_MouseClicked,error_e2_MouseClicked,info2_MouseClicked all throw similar error:

Hi BillZhan, about to use other languge, in to the zip is a text file u have to translate it in your language and upload, about the error i really dont understand why u get error. I tested it so many times also whit some old computer and i dint get any error.
P.S
Did u get the error using the Demo? let me know.

 

[billzhan]

Hi Lonleystar,

The attachment is my translation for Simplified Chinese. (username and password added for login dialog). I still don't know how switch to a specific language (by user preference.

I used the demo for the testing. Tested on XP sp3(32bit Simplified Chinese) +jdk 1.7.0_51 and Ubuntu 12.04LTS +jre 1.7.0_51.

Would you please upload your complied jar of the demo?


Thanks,
bz

 

[lonleystar]

Hi billzhan, hi add the Chinese translation and i attached also the demo compiled below.

P.S.

I use windows 8.1

 

[lonleystar]

Hi guys jBetterDialog is update to v1.1 add Translation Simplified Chinese minor fix.

 

[billzhan]

Hi Lonleystar,

I checked v1.1, it seems the simplified Chinese are not shown correctly,may be caused by the coding of the file I uploaded. Attached is the file with UTF8(without BOM).

v1.1 is tested on Debian 7.3 32bit, language USA Eng +jdk 1.7.0_51. The demo crashed like the previous one when clicking the Subs end with 2.

The demo crashed when ANY Button is clicked on Win2003 32bit,language Chinese,Java 8 SDK. May be caused by compatibility of Java 8.

Your complied jar is tested, and is the same.

Thanks,
bz

 

[lonleystar]

Hi billzhan, i really dont know why to to u crash. I've installed on my cmp the jdk 1.6.45, jdk 1.7.0.51 and jdk 1.8.0 i tested it on xp 32bit and work fine.

For the translation, I just put it in to the library. Please try it to another cmp and let me know.

Hi BPak, I just compiled it again and to me work fine. Please tell me, which button from the demo u get error because i dont get any error from all.

 

[lonleystar]

Hi there some one else as the same problem that it crash? please let me know.

 

[BPak]

Warning Dialog 2, Error Dialog 2,
Information Dialog 2, Error Dialog with Exception 2 are the buttons that throw the error.

It appears there is a missing resource. Maybe bitmap for those dialogs.??

BPak

 

[lonleystar]

Hi BPak, as I say above i use windows 8.1 I've installed on my cmp the jdk 1.6.45, jdk 1.7.0.51 and jdk 1.8.0 and I've no error just run again the demo and it work fine. I really don't know way u get this error. But I'll check again on my old cmp if I get this error.

 

[BPak]

Hi
I have the standard recommended installation for B4J as per B4PPC instructions.

Do not have JDK 1.8.0 - maybe that is reason?

 

[lonleystar]

hi BPak, the jdk 1.6.45, jdk 1.7.0.51 and jdk 1.8.0 they are all 64bit maybe is that the reason I'll make some little movie and upload it to youtube so u and others can see it doesnt crash to me.

 

[BPak]

I have the Java 7-45 installed and it is the 32 bit version.

 

[lonleystar]

Hi BPak, I'll compile it with jdk 32bit when i come from work.

 

[lonleystar]

Hi BPak, try this demo is compiled with jdk1.7.0.55 32Bit.

If the demo doesnt work, download the jdk-7u55-windows-i586.exe and install it and try again.

Let me know about.

 

[BPak]

The demo jar did not work any different.

Will get jdk-7u55-windows-i586.exe
