Disabled button fires an event ?! :-O
Hi, friends!
I've never thought about the next issue: why desabled button can fire an et_Click event?
I havn't no idea to check that!
I thought before that enabled=false is the method to prevent et_Click event for that item, but...
<b>Is it a bug or feature?</b>
I'm talking now about v6.5, what can you say about that situation on v6.7?
It is not a bug, the SDK is simply informing you that the user clicked on something. You can click on other disabled items such as edittexts and they will also generate the click events for you.
The important difference with a disabled button is that the et_ITEM_PRESSED event won't be triggered. The et_ITEM_PRESSED event is the correct one to use to detect the user pressing a button.

Disabled buttons still generate events
It seems that disabled buttons still generate events in business one. If a button is disabled (even a standard one) click events can still be seen in the SBO event logger. I would have expected a disabled button to be completely disabled and no events to be generated whereas as it is I have to check in the event handler to see if the button is enabled or not.
Is my understanding of this correct?
Has anyone else had issues like this?
Gordon WoodHi Gordon,
That sounds like an issue with the SBO Event Logger because no event is actually triggered in the addon when the button is disabled.
Kind Regards,

Disabled button fires events to event structure
Hi all,
I was trying to disable a Button on the frontpanel by using its enabled property while the event was executed. The ide wa not to create more events of this buttopn while its fucntion was executed. However thsi did not work.It was creating events even though it was greyed out.
I troied two different versions:
1) in the event case of the button (value changed) in a sequence I first dispalbned the button, execuded the code and then enabled it again
Result: All events were generated even though the button was greyed out
2) in the event case of the button (value changed) in a sequence I disbaled the Button and then started a second event. The Second event executed the code and then enabled the Button egain
Result: Even though the Button was greyed out events were generated
3) in the event case of the button (value changed) in a sequence I first dispalbned the button, execuded the code and in the timeout event I thenenabled it again
Result: No additional events were generated
it seems that the enable state of the button is analysed at teh time when the event is execute din teh event case but not at the time when it was created?
So I Tried the Time Input of the case expecting that it woudl give me a time stamp of the time when the key was pressed - but instead it gave me the time point when teh event was executed...
Teh only othe rsolution was to set teh cursor to busy (however I dont want to see the changed cursor during the busy cycle)
So how can I make shure that no additional events are fired during the time teh code of the Button s executed?
Thanks for any help,
Rainerto altenbach:
The evet takes about one or two seconds - I checked the behaviour as shown in the attached examples with LV 8.5, LV 2010, TV2011, LV2012 - allways exactly the same behaviour.
It does not make any difference weather you use switch when pressed or latched when pressed.
It does not make any difference weathe ror not you tag "Lock front panel" for that event
to sth:
> If you disable a front panel control (ie the button) you cannot click on it and a value changed event will not be
generated.
This is my experience so far as well, but if you disable and enable the control within the same event it does not work (see attaced example 1) and 2). It only works if you do the enable in the timeout event.
> The time stamp from the event case left hand property is the time of the event not the time of execution.
> If you ask for the timer value inside the event case it will be the time of event case executing.
In the attached exampel this is not the case. The time differecne between the Time input on the left and the Tick count
placed in the event is 0 for all events generated whil the button is supposed to be disabled.
As I wrote before, the explanation I have for this behaviour is that the events are generated by windows weather or not
the button is disabled and they are queued to the event cue. Only when the event is handeled LabVIEW tests weather
or not the button is disabled and ignores the event in case it is disabled. If the Disabling and enabling is done
withim the same event the button pressed events are added to thw event queue and the button is set to enabled before the next event (button pressed while it shoul be disabled) is handeled. When that event is handeled the button is enabled again (by the original event) and therefore the evenet is not ignored (because by the time of execution of the event the button is enabled again).
If the button is enabled in the timeout event instead of the button change value event all event in teh queue are executed before teh timeout event. At their time of execution therefore the button is steill disabled. Only then the timeout event enables the button again.
If the vi is set to busy (sand clock) this is activating actually a windows function/property and no events are queued to teh event queue by windwos. Therefore no button change event is added to teh queue.
Funtciomn of the 3 attached Vis (LV 2010):
Run the Vi, then press the Test button once - when it is greyed out click it a few more times. The test button value
changed event has a 2 second delay. You will see the event counter increase, and you will see the time difference
between the time property on the left of the event and the tick count vi whci is displayed in the waveform chart.
DisableButton 1: Disable and enable are ste in teh same event
DisableButton 2: The button is disabled then a second event is called to do the work and then enable teh button again
DisableButton 3: The Button is disabled in button change value event and it is enabled again in teh timeout event.

Useful Code of the Day: Button fires events while held
Have you ever been making a GUI application with Swing and used some JButtons? Fun, right? Have you ever wanted to have the button fire action events while the button was being held down? Well, if you just stick a plain JButton in your application and press and hold the mouse button on it, you'll see it doesn't do anything except sit there looking pressed in. Insolent button!
RepeatButton (code below, couldn't think of a better name) is a JButton subclass which contains a timer that is set when the mouse button presses the button, and after a slight initial delay (configurable), fires action events to all registered action listeners repeatedly (with another configurable delay between events) until either the mouse is released or the mouse moves out of the button (it starts up again if the mouse moves back over without releasing the mouse button) or the button is disabled. The event modifiers are passed on as well, so you know if the shift or control buttons (or whatever) are being pressed at the same time.
There is also a method to disable the repeated action firing while holding. This, in effect, turns the button into a normal JButton, if needed.
There is a main method for testing which will show a button in a frame and print out the action command for each action event fired.

* <code>RepeatButton</code> is a <code>JButton</code> which contains a timer
* for firing events while the button is held down. There is a default
* initial delay of 300ms before the first event is fired and a 60ms delay
* between subsequent events. When the user holds the button down and moves
* the mouse out from over the button, the timer stops, but if the user moves
* the mouse back over the button without having released the mouse button,
* the timer starts up again at the same delay rate. If the enabled state is
* changed while the timer is active, it will be stopped.
* NOTE: The normal button behavior is that the action event is fired after
* the button is released. It may be important to konw then that this is
* still the case. So in effect, listeners will get 1 more event then what
* the internal timer fires. It's not a "bug", per se, just something to be
* aware of. There seems to be no way to suppress the final event from
* firing anyway, except to process all ActionListeners internally. But
* realistically, it probably doesn't matter.

Button Fire Event Multiple Times
Hey everyone. I've somewhat inherited a LabVIEW program for a project I'm working on. I need to fire an event in an event structure 20 times in a row to fully collect my data. Right now i just have the event structure connected to a slider so i just slide it enough and it completes the 20 events needed. Is there a way I can make one button fire an event 20 times? I need the while loop for the entire program to run during these 20 times so a simple loop around the event code won't work. Any ideas? Thanks guys.
I'd use another solution.
When the button is pressed, start a dynamic VI that does the aqcuisition.
When the VI is done, it sends a user event (or a value (signalling) event to
some control), so the main VI knows it's done. By doing this, you seperate
the DAQ and the MMI, which is good. Both VI's are kept simple. Put the data
in a buffer, or pass it in the user event data.
Timing and event structures are difficult. It's very inconvenient to exectue
an event case every X sec. without using a dynamic VI (or parrallel loop).
Using the time out event has it's own problems. The TO event is called when
no other event occured for the given period. So if you'd add a mouse over
event (as an example) the TO case isn't called at all when the mouse
moves...
You could also start a dynamic VI that creates a user event (or value
(signalling) 20 times at some interval, and then quits. But it's just as
complex as a dynamic DAQ vi, and less elegant.

Wiebe. -
Disabled button generates events
Hello,
I have a radio button that I want to disable while a background process is running.
After the process finishes, I enable the button again.
However, if the user clicks on the disabled button during the background process, an ActionEvent still gets generated.
Then when the button is re-enabled, it responds to the event that was generated while it was disabled. I want to prevent my button from responding to events generated while it was disabled.
I do not want to use the getGlassPane.setVisible(true) technique because I still want my cancel button to be able to generate events during the background process.
I am using JDK 1.3.1 and my button is in a panel contained in a JFrame application.
Suggestions?
Thank you,

Mouse Events on Disabled Buttons
Hi,
In my application I should make a disabled button to show a tool tip when mouse is entered onto it.
I'm using java.awt.container not Jcontainer.
I have searched in SDN forums and after reading some of the comments what I understood is �disabled Swing button can react to Mouse events but a disabled awt button can not react to mouse events�.
Is that true or did I not understand correctly?
And how would I be able to implement the required functionality in my
application?

JDev 10.1.3 ADF: How to fire an event when clicking a Radio Button
I have a <af:table> component with the following code for my radio button
<af:tableSelectOne text="Select and"
binding="#{backing_viewFees.tableSelectOne1}"
id="tableSelectOne1"
attributeChangeListener="#{backing_viewFees.tableSelectOne1_attributeChangeListener}"
autoSubmit="false">
When I click the radio button it does not fire up my event in my backing bean?Thank you for the suggestion...it does work and fires the event, but it is still not selecting the current record when I try to perform an Update or Delete.
I had to modify your code a bit in order for it work in JDev 10...used the JUCtrlValueBindingRef instead of the FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding.
Here is what my af:table tag looks like:
<af:table value="#{bindings.FeesView1.collectionModel}"
var="row" rows="#{bindings.Fees001View1.rangeSize}"
first="#{bindings.FeesView1.rangeStart}"
emptyText="#{bindings.FeesView1.viewable ? \'No rows yet.\' : \'Access Denied.\'}"
selectionListener="#{backing_viewFees.tableSelectOne1_attributeChangeListener}"
binding="#{backing_viewFees.table1}" id="table1">
If I put back my 2 original attributes, then my Delete and Updates work.
selectionState="#{bindings.FeesView1.collectionModel.selectedRow}"
selectionListener="#{bindings.FeesView1.collectionModel.makeCurrent}"
Here is my code in the backing bean:
public void tableSelectOne1_attributeChangeListener(SelectionEvent selectionEvent) {
JUCtrlValueBindingRef binding = (JUCtrlValueBindingRef)this.getTable1().getSelectedRowData();
if (binding != null) {
Row currentRow = binding.getRow();
if (currentRow != null) {
System.out.println(currentRow.getAttribute("CurrentRecordInd")); // this does print my selected value!!!!

My problem is that a disabled button are getting focus, which is bad when the application are operated without a mouse.
I made this litlte demo to illustrate the problem.
Try pressing button no.1. This will disable button no.1 and button no.2,
but why are button no.2 getting focus afterwards?

}Very courius.
I have made a little change in your code.
1) scenario
Simply changing .setEnabled(false) invokation, the class works fine.
so
jButton2.setEnabled(false);
jButton3.setEnabled(false);
jButton1.setEnabled(false);
2) scenario
the class works fine also using your .setEnabled(false) order invokations and putting after those:
FocusManager.getCurrentManager().focusNextComponent();
I do not know exactly why, I suppose that is there something not properly
syncronized in events dispaching.
In my opinion:
a) setEnabled(false) at last calls for setEnabled(false) of JComponent
that fires a propertyChange event
so:
scenario 1)
buttons 2 and 3 are disabled before of button1 that has the focus in
that moment (given by a the mouse click on itself)
When botton1.setEnabled(false) is performed buttons 2 and 3 are
just disabled, so focus is got by button4 (that is enabled)
scenario 2)
button1 that has the focus (given it by the mouse click) becames
disabled before that button2 becames disabled too.
So, probably, when the event of PropertyChanged is fired and processed, button2.setEnabled(false) invokation has not been
just performed and swings looks for it as a focusable component
So, using FocusManager.getCurrentManager().focusNextComponent(),
we force the transer focus on next focusable component.
This is only a my suppose, looking what happens.
Regards.

How to enable or disable buttons on an interactive ALV report
I have two buttons on Interactive ALV report. Before displaying the ALV report, I want to enable or disable buttons on ALV depending on some conditions.I dont want to make the buttons visible or invisible. This is not an OO ALV report.
Please suggest !!!Then you have to use the event set_pf_status or parameter I_CALLBACK_PF_STATUS_SET for this pass the form name.
You have to Implement the form Routine.
FORM PF_STATUS using status type SLIS_T_EXTAB.
SET PF-STATUS 'STS' excluding status.
ENDFORM.
First create the pf-staus using SE41 or double click on the status name and create . By default you make them Disable mode. -
How can I fire an event case on the value change of an indicator, or a network variable?
Hi! I have an event structure setup to look for a value change of an indicator on the front panel. The indicator is updated by the value of a boolean network-published shared variable through a seperate parallel loop that is polling all of the network-published shared variables. The event, however, does not fire when the indicator changes value. I have switched the indicator to a control and tested it with user interaction and that works just fine.
I want to use the event structure space for my code exectution because it seems logical that that is where it would go, and it will help keep my block diagram tity. The code is also something I would like executed with the front pannel temperarily disabled. I would rather not have the code in my network-variable polling loop because again the tity issue. I would also rather not use a notification VI wired to an independent loop for this particular code.
Is there a way to have an event structure fire an event with the value change of an indicator, or a network variable directly?
Thanks for your input.

-NicThanks for the reply.
I went about things a little differently, but got them to work so..... . It really was not my desire to have a boolean indicator on the front panel. As previously stated, my ultimate goal was to have an event fire on the change of a network variable, which I had to poll for anyway but that is tucked away in a section where I am handling all my network variables. I ended up using that Create User Event, Register User Event, and Generate User Event SubVIs to handle the task.
I've read the help for all of those SubVI's and it is not entirely clear to me if the event fires every time the "Generate User Event" receives some inputs, or if it only fires when the value changes. I could do a test to find out. It wouldn't be too difficult to add a shift register or a feedback node and place the Generate User Event in a case structure so that it is only fired when the input changes state. -
How to fire an event dynamically in JSF Page
Hi All
How to fire an event dynamically in JSF Page?
Thanks
SudhakarHi,
Thanks for the response. I mean to say, if I create the components dynamically then how can I fire events for those components.
In otherwords,
If I create the Button dynamically with particular ID being set to that component, then how can I call button action event when the button is clicked??
Hope you understand
What is the role of MethodBinding mechanism here??
Thanks

Disabled Button Gets Focus in 1.4 and not in 1.3
Hi
I am in the process of migrating from version 1.3 to 1.4.2
I have a screen on which I I have a button which is disabled when teh screen initializes. There are other items to which I can navigate through TAB.
If i keep pressing Tab so that the focus comes to the disabled object, then it just stays there...nothing happens in version 1.4 although version 1.3 works for a similar scene and teh control goes to teh next component on the screen
I have tried setting the focus by checking the status of teh button and have set it to the same value as being enabled or disabled.
Any help please!
Thanks
