the demo was compiled with 32 bit so Try to install jdk-7u55-windows-i586.exe and let me know.

 

[BPak]

Installed 7u55 ok. Set Environment vars to it.
Double clicked your jBetterDialogs.jar file which I had saved to the desktop.

Message Box came up as shown below.

Set B4J to the new java compiler.

Tried compiling JBetterDialogs 1.1 and it compiled ok but still got the error message when trying to use the Buttons with the 2 on them at bottom of Demo window.

It still says Resource missing in the error.

 

[Erel]

The Java version should not matter unless you are using JNI. I tried your example and it works. However I do get an error with the error 2 dialog (and information 2).

Program started.
Error occurred on line: 89 (main).

HI Erel, Thanks for reply u r right. below is the attached library, the zip contain 2 compiled versions:

1) win7 64bit

2) win8.1 64bit.

The demo was compiled under win7 64bit.

Please let me know if it work.

 

[lonleystar]

Hi BPak, the post above uploaded the jBetterDialogs v1.1.zip ,jBetterDialogs.jar.

 

[BPak]

Hi Giuseppe
The program jBetterDialogs.jar now runs on my computer.

Using 7u45 or 7u55 Java the buttons without the 2 at the end of the name work fine. BUT the bottom 4 buttons with 2 on them just close down the program.

 

[lonleystar]

Hi BPak, the demo was compiled with 7u55 64bit under win7 64bit I think the problem was win8 for this library download jBetterDialog.zip above and inside the zip U'll find 2 compiled version try both and let me know.

 

[lonleystar]

Hi Erel, I've a question when i compile the demo under win8.1 64dit it doesnt work with win7 64bit and 32bit, if I compile it under win7 32bit it doesnt work with win8.1 64bit and win7 64bit and etc,etc, how i can resolve it.


P.S.
Just the last 4 buttons work with win8.1 and win7 64bit and 32bit.

 

[Erel]

Standard Java code should work with any platform. The CPU architecture shouldn't matter.

How are you creating these dialogs?

 

[lonleystar]

I compiled the library under win8.1 64bit , win7 32bit and 64bit

P.S.

[lonleystar]

Hi Erel, Can I send the project to U via email.

 

[Erel]

Yes.

 

[lonleystar]

Hi Erel, Thank you for your availability.

 

[Erel]

Which error do you get when you use the "64bit" library with 32bit compiler?

 

[lonleystar]

Hi Erel, I can use just Warring Dialog 2, Error Dialo2, Information Dialog 2, Error Dialog With Exception 2.

when i launch the demo with ide all work good.

P.S.

Before all buttons was working now just last four, i really dont understand way.

 

[BPak]

Tried your suggestion of the two different libraries. Last 4 buttons still not working for me.

Hi Giuseppe
First off thanks for the lib, works great on windows. Can't get it to work on Linux. Any ideas? I have Ubuntu 12.01 LTS. Are there any additional files I need to include in my distro to get it to work? Thanks again

 

[lonleystar]

Hi JuliamnHeim, I really don't know, We've to ask Erel, or some one else who has Ubuntu I'm really sorry about that.

 

[lonleystar]

Hi guys, JBetterDialog is fixed and updated to v1.20 minor bugs.

 

[mjas]

Hi Giusepp, nice work.

I'm trying it, but how to translate in other languages?
You said before: "about to use other language, in to the zip is a text file u have to translate it in your language and upload".
The text file "To Translate.txt" is to change the name? and to upload where?

Many thanks for your help in this.
