Freelance projects

Working on two projects. Point of Sale System is very interesting. For the last two days was trying google how to increase the width of the scrollbar in scrollpane. Couldn't find anything but expert-exchange dead end. At last, thanks to blogspot...

UIManager.put("ScrollBar.width", new Integer(40));

Note: Call this method before adding any components to the JFrame.

Excel uses a non-standard character encoding for csv files. You can save an Excel file as 'unicode' text however there are several unicode systems - Windows uses UTF-16, and PHP uses UTF-8. To open the 'unicode text' file in PHP you have to convert it, in addition you may want to be able to open UTF-8 files that may be created by other systems. PHP has an encoding detection function - but it can't detect UTF-16. I've solved the problem with the following function which detects from several encodings, adds an appropriate filter, and returns a filehandle which reads as UTF-8. function fopen_utf8 ( $filename ){ $encoding = '' ; $handle = fopen ( $filename , 'r' ); $bom = fread ( $handle , 2 ); // fclose($handle); rewind ( $handle ); if( $bom === chr ( 0xff ). chr ( 0xfe...
