Cursor blinks in edit mode

hi...i downloaded ver 8.0 last night on a trail basis...i have been using 2.0 for years, no problems and wanted to see what the newest version offered before i made a purchase.....anyway....in edit mode the cursor goes from the arrow to the hourglass and blinks like crazy...going from one to the other.....i re-installed 8.0 this morning and same problem.....any idea what is causing this???......also how can i get rid of the welcome screen and go directly to edit???......
i am somewhat computer savvy,....so please keep your comments and or instructions simple for me......thanks
Bob

Set your dpi to 96. Goto control panel->Display->Settings->Advance->In dpi settings select 96 dpi and relaunch your application.
For the second problem, launch welcome screen->click on the preferences button in right up corner next to close button and select your preference to launch the editor and relaunch again.
Regards.

Wrong cursor position in TLF rtl in editable mode

Hello,
It seems there is a bug in TLF text in CS5.5 in "editable" mode.
to reproduce:
1.put a TLF on stage and set it to "editable".
2. Set in 'Paragrph' section to 'Right To Left'.
It remainsleft to right.
3. set in 'Container and flow' to 'Right To Left' it does change direction, but if you try to put a cursor you can't.
The only way to put a cursor is on the right of the TLF.
Ideas anyone ?

textArea.getCaret().getDot();
or the shorter
textArea.getCaretPosition();

I have problem with this issue too. and it has started with flash cs5.5. in flash cs5 TLFs work fine.
It is not a solution, but by chance I have found when the MultiLine property of TLF is changed to single line textfield works fine. again I confirm the bug and wish the team make a update for that.

Enterprise Wiki copy bug in "Pages" edit mode

All functions cease working when I am in the "Pages" edit mode.
My Steps:
1. In Enterprise Wiki (SharePoint 2013) I click on "edit this page"
2. Click on View Properties
3. While in the View mode click on Edit
4. Click in the Contact field to copy contact and the icon next to the name becomes attached to the cursor and a big black circle with the forward slash mark in it appears.
5. No matter what I do the small green box has attached itself to my cursor like a throwback '90s mouse sprite. It follows the cursor everywhere on the screen.

Can you recreate the page and copy the content to new page and see if its working.. I can't think of anything else for now..

ALV Grid fields from editable to non-editable mode

Hi,
I am displaying my data through ALV Grid. In my grid the non-key fields are in editable mode.
When I edit any of the editable fields and place the cursor on other field the field which I have edited should become disable(non-editable). Again if I want to edit the same field which is now in non-editable mode should again change to editable mode when the cursor is placed on it.
Thanks & Regards,
Adithya M.

Hi Adithya,
I am confused by your statement "place the cursor on other field the field which I have edited should become disable" -- are you stating that this is the requirement or what is currently happening with your program. The way the edit fields should work by default is they are editable at all times unless you tell it otherwise.
If you are saying your requirement is to change the field to disabled once the field is edited (runtime change), first you want to handle the event on data changed then within your method of handling on data changed, you can disable the field from being edited by using cell styles and changing the value to disabled.
If you look at program BCALV_GRID_EDIT,
You will find code where it disables the field for edit using Cell Style -- this will give you an idea how Cell Style controls editable fields and display fields:
        ls_cell-style = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_enabled.
        ls_cell-maxlen = 4.
        ls_cell-fieldname = 'CARRNAME'.
        append ls_cell to gt_sflight-cell.
This specific code will set the field disabled when the program is first exectued, in your case if you need to do this at run time, after someone edits the field, you need to implement handling the event on data changed, in the same program you will find:
method handle_data_changed.
   perform data_changed using er_data_changed.
endmethod.
It is within this method that you can disable a field for editing.
However, once it is disabled you will not get back into the handle_data_changed method. I'm not sure I understand your statement "Again if I want to edit the same field which is now in non-editable mode should again change to editable mode when the cursor is placed on it." Why would you want the user to be able to edit something, then show it disabled, then let them click on it and edit it again? Why not just leave it in edit mode? Maybe if I understand the requirement better, I can answer this portion of the question.
If this is based on security or changing from edit to display for the entire grid, you can run the same program mentioned above and click on the Change/Display button in the top left to see how it enables and disables the entire grid for editing.
Cheers,
Bonnie

T400 problem booting from hard driver, cursor blinking on top left screen corner

I'm having problems with T400 (2765-TDG). It has trouble with booting, which requires 5 minutes power off/on in order to propely boot operating system.
Notebook is less than two months old, fully properly driver updated then so after that nothing is been done on it neither from user or from system administrator.Problem occured suddenly after two weeks of mentioned maintenance.
Symptoms:
After mouse intialization, screen goes black, and on top left corner white cursor blinks
There is no keyb key which can contine booting process, expect rebooting
There is no other device connected to notebook, not even mouse
It's needed several, sometimes 3-4, sometimes even 10, times to reboot with power key in order to get operating system booting
When it suceeds booting, just before booting operating system, in diagnostic mode of booting (with quick boot disabled) I can hear only one beep
What I tried to do:
I've changed BIOS setting to force booting only from hard drive, turned off any other booting device.
Also, changed from AHCI to Compatibility mode for hard disk but with no help.
Turned off quick boot, but during booting process, there is no specific error shown
Upgraded BIOS version to 2.03-1.01 but with no help
Restored BIOS default setup, no help
Did some general diagnostics, and here is what I've noticed:
After changing settings in BIOS, save&exit, computer hangs with black screen. I have to turn it off and back on in order to continue booting. Settings in BIOS are saved properly.
When I succeed with booting into operating system (XP), graphic card sometimes is not recognized, not even by original driver installation. In device manager, I see two recognized graphic card drivers with warning sign, and "Intel management engine interface" device with warning sign
In event viewer, then only error line is "Problem with HECI driver communicating with firmware" or something like that
Operating system is not able to enter in standby mode, it justshows blank screen and I'm forced to switch off notebook by pressing power off button for longer time
Any help appreciated. Thanks! I hope I can deal with this before I send notebook to authorized service.
Vedran
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm sorry to tell you, but in may case, I had to send notebook to authorized service provider. They replaced mainboard and hard drive (!?). Now everything works fine, but puts shame on Thinkpad T series notebook.

Insert Edit Mode

Yikes! I must have pressed a key-combo that got me into an insert edit mode (deletes next char right of cursor as it enters what you type).
Can't get out without a restart. Nothing in Prefs or Prefs>Shortcuts that I can see which mentions this, geewizz Adobe what gives?

I'm going to return this conversation to the first thread I started.
The commented line generates an exception btw. First two lines okay.
EDIT:
Will discuss on other thread:
AS) export single page PDFs from multi-artboards
END EDIT
Just realised that thread isn't mine so this thread will let me give credit where it's due
I'll link over to this one from that one if we get a result.
Yeah when I type "app.activeDocument.a" I do not get a prompt listing for artBoards. The Object Model Viewer is pretty useless IMHO. The description are like A: A is a property of alphabet. Cheers OMV!
Okay,
Document.artboards (Read Only) // lowercase 'a' coloured text didn't make it onto the forum post :\
Data Type: Artboards
Adobe Illustrator CS4 Type Library
All artboards in the document.
That works. Now for artboard range setting…

How to exit edit mode (editable comboBox)?

I have an editable comboBox. When a user clicks on the text
area, he can rename the text and the idea is to click outside the
comboBox to commit the new value.
The problem now is when the user clicks outside the comboBox,
the comboBox remains in edit mode(with the blinking prompt). How do
I make it get out of that mode?
thanks in advance

Hi,
setting comBox.editable=false in the function where you
commit the vaules will solve this purpose.
Also remember to set it in edit mode when click event on the
combobox happens
Ex.
<mx:ComboBox id="comBox" click="setMode()"/>
public function setMode():void{
comBox.editable=true;
I hope I have given you a direction to think upon.
Take care

When hovering cursor over file edit ect the names will disappear

recently installed a new version of avira from cnet download.com after which when hovering cursor over file edit history bookmark tools or help the names will disappear from firefox. Also same thing occurrs in bookmarks list and on toolbar names.pc will lockup and need hardware reboot to clear?
This problem has occurred on another machine of mine running windows XP on virgin broadband.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
>In Firefox 4 Safe mode also disables plugins (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and hardware acceleration (Tools > Options > Advanced > General)

Can't open photos in edit mode

I can;t open photos in edit mode in iPhoto '08. When I double click on a photo the main window remains blank (no "!" no"?"). This problem occurs with every photo in the library. My permissions are OK. I've also tried setting the preferences to edit in Photoshop but double clicking on the photos then still accomplishes nothing.

Steve:
Do you get a blank white window in the edit mode? If so that may mean you do not have access to the files. Try the following:download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
FYI:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can't view photos in edit mode

Hello,
I just upgraded to iPhoto '08, and while I can view all my thumbnails ok, the photos themselves won't load at all in edit mode.
I was using iPhoto to try to"jumpstart" my iWeb (per my other help request in another topic) when I noticed this.
I have Leopard 10.5.2, iPhoto 7.1.2 and a 1.8 GHz processor and 512 MB RAM in my upgraded G4 tower. I tried deleting the preferences file, rebuilding the library file, opening in another account, etc, with no luck. I had even just erased my hard drive and cleanly re-installed Leopard, etc. with still the same problems in both apps. Do I just need to add more memory perhaps? I can't think of anything else...?Does Leopard require much more memory than Panther (which I had before) to run properly?
Thanks,
Paul

I've had the what sounds like the exact same problem with iPhoto '08. I, too, have an upgraded 1.8 GHz G4 (AGP Graphics) running OS 10.5.3 (although the original installation was 10.5.1 and the same problem occurred before the software updates). When I try to edit a photo, the edit window opens but no picture appears. Clicking on the various editing tools and manipulating them (blindly, on a blank screen) shows that editing is actually taking place, and that changes can be saved.
An earlier post of mine concerned the first problem I noticed since my OS and processor updates; namely, that the DVD player app won't work, but instead returns an error message saying that a valid device could not be found for playback. Several responses to that post seemed to suggest that the ATI Rage 128 video card might be the culprit and that it would need to be replaced. In the past week I've been on the phone or in email contact with tech support people at ATI, Sonnet, Other World Computing, and Apple, the last being the least knowledgeable of all of them, I'm sorry to say.
The Sonnet guy personally runs a computer just like mine, but with the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac video card. That item costs $209 at OWC. But ATI says it won't work because of the G4's 200 power supply.
These folks think that the iPhoto problem would be solved by the new video card -- but I'm not yet convinced I want to spend that kind of money to find out. Most also say that the DVD Player issue would be fixed, although the OWC guy says it has nothing to do with it.
So we're going blind here, with much conflicting expert opinion. I'll keep watching for further discussion.

Unable to open a view in edit mode

Hi All,
I have a Notes assignment block in the Account Overview page. It contains a text area and an EDIT button to modify the notes. Corresponding view and context node for this block are BP_DATA/NOTES and NOTES respectively. Notes context node is bound to Text context node of the component controller.
The issue is, when agent confirms an account, goes to Overview page and clicks on EDIT button of the Notes block, then, if the block already has some text, then it turns in to EDIT mode. But if Notes section is empty initially, then, on click of EDIT button will not make the view editable.
During debugging, I can see that if notes section is already filled with some text, then there is an entity in the collection wrapper of the NOTES context node(also in the component controller collection wrapper). But if notes section is initially empty, then collection wrapper is empty(both view and component controller context nodes).
My requirement is to make the notes section editable even if there is no text present in it initially. It will be very helpful if someone could give me suggestions on this issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Naren

Hi Nitish,
Thanks for your reply. Infact I only coded the event handler. In the first line, I am reading the entity from the collection wrapper of the context node. If it is bound, only then I can set it in EDIT mode.
ob_entity ?= me->typed_context->notes->collection_wrapper->get_current( ).
IF ob_entity IS BOUND.
Sets the view in EDIT mode
Now, ob_entity is null if there is initially no data in the notes section of the confirmed account. However, if notes is not empty, then, ob_entity is bound and I can set the view to edit mode. This is the issue.
Regards,
Naren

How can I open an email file in edition mode?

Hi!
I use a system here in my company that generates an automatic email and prepare it to be sent.
We were using MS Outlook and we have migrated to thunderbird for lots of reasons.
But since it has migrated, the system cannot generate this email in the composition screen.
It generates in the inbox.
Is there anything I can do to change this?
I have made a few tests and I realize that the same thing happens if I save an email file in my computer and
try to open if with the thunderbird. It's supposed to open in edition mode, so the user can send it out, with just one click.
Thank you!

Text Caption appears in Edit Mode but not in Preview Project or Web Browser

I'm using Cp4 and have downloaded Adobe Flash 10 Active X, it's ver 10.1.82.76. I've added a simple text caption with these options:
Timing Display: Rest of slide
Appear after: 2.0 seconds
Transition effect: Fade in only
In: .5 seconds
And Visible is checked
I also have a simple line that I drew with the draw line tool and included an arrow on the end of it.
Everything on the screen works including the click box, the animated text and the failure caption. For some reason the text caption and the arrow are not appearing except in Edit Mode. In Preview Project, they disapper but the click box, failure caption and animated text work fine.
I've rebooted, copied this screen into a new instance of Cp4, re-created these objects on a freshly recorded screen, chosen Order: Bring to Front, created a brand new screen completely from scratch and downloaded the Flash 10 Active X version mentioned above.
They funny thing is, is that the text caption and arrow works fine on other screens in the project. I have 76 screens total.
I'm running Windows XP.
Any suggestions?

Hi there
Can you post a screen capture of what your Timeline looks like?
Odds are your Click Box is pausing in a weird place.
Cheers... Rick

Ctrl+tab is not working in editing mode

I have JcheckBox and JTable in my JPanel. When user clicks or presses F2 to edit any cell value of the JTable a comboBox will appear with possible values. (This comboBox is coming from table CellEditor). When user presses ctrl+tab from the table focus should transfer to JComboBox all time. It is working only when the user presses ctrl+tab from the table cell which is not in editing mode. If the user presses ctrl+tab from the table cell which is in editing mode (i.e. focus is on the ComboBox of the cellEditor) it does not work. Please help me to find the solution.
I give a sample code here for your reference.
public class Frame1 extends JFrame {
public Frame1()
super();
this.setLayout( null );
this.setSize( new Dimension(400, 300) );
JTextField ch = new JTextField();
ch.setVisible(true);
ch.setBounds(10, 10, 10, 10);
this.add(ch, null);
DefaultTableModel tmodel = new DefaultTableModel(3, 1);
tmodel.setValueAt("0 0 1",0,0);
tmodel.setValueAt("1 0 1",1,0);
tmodel.setValueAt("2 0 1",2,0);
JTable custLayersTable = new JTable(tmodel);
custLayersTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).
setCellEditor(new ComboEditor());
custLayersTable.setBounds(new Rectangle(40, 40, 280, 145));
custLayersTable.setSurrendersFocusOnKeystroke(true);
this.add(custLayersTable, null);
public static void main(String[] args)
Frame1 a = new Frame1();
a.setVisible(true);
final class ComboEditor extends AbstractCellEditor
implements TableCellEditor
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table,
Object value,
boolean isSelected,
int row,
int column)
Vector<String> layerValSet = new Vector<String>();
for(int i=0; i<3; i++)
layerValSet.add(row+" "+column+" "+i);
mComboModel = new DefaultComboBoxModel(layerValSet);
mComboModel.setSelectedItem(value);
mEditorComp = new JComboBox(mComboModel);
return mEditorComp;
public Object getCellEditorValue()
return mEditorComp.getSelectedItem();
private DefaultComboBoxModel mComboModel;
private JComboBox mEditorComp;
}

Thanks a lot for your reply.
Since the textField is in a different class i could not use the transferFocus API directly. I tried the following code in the keyreleased event of Combo Box but it was not working.
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().focusNextComponent(
e.getComponent().getParent());
I also tried the following code in stopCellEditing and is not working.
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().focusNextComponent();
Is there any other way to achieve this?
