hello,
I am migrating from netbeans 6.8 to 7.2
Now in 7.2 the headers of my windows for example in the navigation pane look like
this:
Code:

|---------|---------------|
|   Title |             - |
|---------|---------------|
|                         |
|    Content              |
|                         |
|-------------------------|

They all have an extra header tab with a close - icon on the right.
My topcomponents have all

putClientProperty(TopComponent.PROP_CLOSING_DISABLED, Boolean.TRUE);
putClientProperty(TopComponent.PROP_DRAGGING_DISABLED, Boolean.TRUE);

putClientProperty(TopComponent.PROP_UNDOCKING_DISABLED, Boolean.TRUE);
putClientProperty(TopComponent.PROP_MAXIMIZATION_DISABLED, Boolean.TRUE);
putClientProperty(TopComponent.PROP_SLIDING_DISABLED, Boolean.TRUE);

The Nebeans IDE 7.2 also has these extra empty header Tabs in its
navigation pane. What's their purpose and how can I get rid of these extra headers?

many Greetings
John

Ah I think now I know what you are looking for. Those are controls for
a group of windows. Have a look at the Branding properties of the
suite, on the Window System tab. You can disable the group features
there. Particularly, Sliding Window Groups might be of use. :)

Best wishes,

Do you by any chance add any menus dynamically at runtime? And do all
the menus look the same, or do some of them also have a different
background?

It does seem so in our application - timing issue with the GUI
creation by the looks of it. But there is luckily a workaround which
works almost always. :)

After creating your menus (replacing the look and feel name as you
wish of course - the windows one is the one with the shading, and note
some error checking removed for clarity):

Frame main = WindowManager.getDefault().getMainWindow();
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");
} catch (Exception ex) {
Exceptions.printStackTrace(ex);
}
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(((JFrame) main).getJMenuBar());

Best wishes,

Try the setLookAndFeel before creating the items and the
updateComponentTreeUI after.

Yep, that looks all too familiar. :)

Did you by any chance use this [1] as your starting point? If so, then
I can give more details about where I added in my code.

Oh and you can also try to explicitly set the look and feel as early
in the startup process as you can.

maybe I am doing something similar.....

after the applications starts and the user has selected
selected= true or false

I do a

DynamicMenuFileSystem.INSTANCE.init(selected);
DynamicMenuFileSystem.INSTANCE.enable();

where DynamicMenuFileSystem is:
Code:



import java.util.Locale;
import org.openide.filesystems.MultiFileSystem;
import org.openide.filesystems.XMLFileSystem;
import org.openide.util.Exceptions;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;

@org.openide.util.lookup.ServiceProvider(service = org.openide.filesystems.FileSystem.class)
public class DynamicMenuFileSystem extends MultiFileSystem {

    public static DynamicMenuFileSystem INSTANCE;
    private XMLFileSystem mLFileSystem;
    private boolean extendedCatalogManagement;

    public DynamicMenuFileSystem() {
        // let's create the filesystem empty, because the user
        // is not yet logged in
        INSTANCE = this;


    }

    public void init(boolean extendedCatalogManagement) {
        this.extendedCatalogManagement = extendedCatalogManagement;
        if (extendedCatalogManagement) {
            try {
                mLFileSystem = new XMLFileSystem("nbresloc:/client/menu-extended.xml");
            } catch (SAXException ex) {
                Exceptions.printStackTrace(ex);
            }
        } else {
            try {
               
                mLFileSystem = new XMLFileSystem("nbresloc:/client/menu.xml");
               
            } catch (SAXException ex) {
                Exceptions.printStackTrace(ex);
            }
        }

    }
    public void enable() {
        INSTANCE.setDelegates(mLFileSystem);

    }

    public void disable() {
        super.setDelegates();

    }
}


and for example menu is :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE filesystem PUBLIC "-//NetBeans//DTD Filesystem 1.2//EN" "http://www.netbeans.org/dtds/filesystem-1_2.dtd">
<filesystem>

    <folder name="Menu">

        <folder name="File">
            <attr name="displayName" bundlevalue="client.Bundle#Menu/File"/>
            <attr name="position" intvalue="1"/>
            <file name="de-client-actions-NewAction.shadow">
                <attr name="originalFile" stringvalue="Actions/Build/de-client-actions-NewAction.instance"/>
                <attr name="position" intvalue="1127"/>
            </file>
               </folder>


</filesystem>

Quite similar. Download the source code from the link I sent before if
you haven't yet. And then have a look at api\src\impl\DelegatingFS.
You will see in the resultChanged method there is a call to
ReheatMenus.launch(). I would suggest adding ReheatMenus to your
application. And my mod to that class is:

Before JMenuBar menuBar = ... set the LAF. And after the
RP.post(this); } add the
SwingUtilities.updateComponentTreeUI(menuBar); call.
