Accept Dialog Boxes without mouse
Hi! Most Dialog Boxes has a "default button" that is activate when you tap Enter but someone hasn't. Someone accept Cmd + <E>, for example, in order to click on the option that begin with "E". In the other hand, there's Dialog Boxes that I haven't found the way to click an option without using the mouse (no default button and Cmd + ... does nothing. Is there any way? Thanks.

Navigate in Word's "Save As" dialog box without mouse
I want to create macros (using QuicKeys) that will Save As documents created in Word using keystrokes alone (no mouse action). In OS 10.5x this could be done by going to the top level of folders that could be selected (this part still works in Snow Leopard); pressing the "tab" key three times (until the first item in the list of folders where I could save was selected); then typing the first letter or two of another folder in the list to select it. In Snow Leopard there seems to be no way to do the second action (for which pressing "tab" three times formerly worked)—although pressing "tab" does navigate to several other places in Word's "Save As" dialog box. Am I wrong?
For the benefit of everyone who has been anxiously awaiting a solution to the problem I posed above on May 9 (both of you), I've found the following workarounds for most navigation needs in Word when doing an Open or Save As... command (these work at least in Mac OS 10.6.8):
(1) To go UP the hierarchy of volumes and folders, press Command - [up arrow key].
(2) To go DOWN the hierarchy of volumes and folders (that is, to open a volume or folder that you have selected), press Shift - Return.
Examples of how to use those moves:
After you trigger Word's “Open” or “Save As...” command, press Command - [up arrow key] a few times to get to the root level of the network, drive, or whatever you are working in. (How many times you need to press that combination will depend on how many levels it contains. But if you are making a macro to do this, have it do that key pressing several times—because once you get to the root level of the network, drive, or whatever, pressing that combination more times does nothing.)
Press Tab three times. This normally results in selecting some volume (or folder) at the root level.
To select another volume (or folder) at the root level, type the first character(s) of its name, or press the [up arrow key] or [down arrow key] as appropriate.
To open a particular folder within that volume (or folder), type the first character(s) of its name to select it, and press Shift - Return; repeat as needed until you get where you wanted to go.
If anyone else likes to use macros to reduce effort in this way, and discovers any better ways to do such things, please add to this thread. -
Create Directory Dialog box without specifying file name
Hi all Programmers/Developers/JDC memebers
I would like to know in java is there any method or class which helps to give directory dialog box without specifying filename.
I mean to say if u have c,d,e drives and some directories under them
c:\dir1
c:\dir2
d:\dir1
d:\dir2
i want a dialog box,which dispalys all the directories of the selected drive and upon choosing/selecting that directory i should be able to get all the files under them.Hi,
You can write a file filter for a JFileChooser, in the following way,
public class DirectoryFilter extends javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter
public boolean accept(java.io.File file)
boolean filter = false;
if(file.isDirectory())
filter = true;
return filter;
public String getDescription()
return "Directories only";
//in your code
JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser();
fileChooser.setFileFilter(new DirectoryFilter());
fileChooser.showOpenDialog() etc. etc..
There's one small issue, by default JFileChooser has a filter called all files filter which you can select from the combo labled "files of type" . So, your file filter won't apply if this filter is chosen.
To disable the all files filter
use
fileChooser.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(false);
and only if you are on jdk1.3 or greater since this is a private method in the JFileChooser in 1.2.2 .
Hope this helps,
regards,

To open the "Pane Properties Dialog Box" the LabVIEW Help suggest following:
"Right-click in the scrollbar of a pane and select Properties from the shortcut menu to display this dialog box."
The Problem is that I would like to switch off the scrollbars, which once done, means I can't right-click on the scrollbar anymore !
There must be a different way to get to this Menu, too ?!Typically, you would hide the scrollbars only when running, and in this case there is no problem. I guess you should keep at least one of the scrollbars visible in edit mode.
Once both scrollbars are hidden, you can restore them using the "VI properties...windows appearance...customize" dialog.

Keyboard shortcut to make a selection on a dialog box
How can I select an option in a pop-up dialog box without using the mouse. For example in iTunes, whenever I delete something, the box asks if I am sure I want to move it to the trash and it is defaulted to NO, but I want to select YES. I can't find a way to use the keyboard to choose the other selection.
Here's another one: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75459 Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts

Call Accept dialog pop up in Chat application
Hello,
I have made an Audio Video chat application in AS3 and using FMS as my server.I want to make the functionality of a call accept dialog box which pops up when one client wants to call another .Giving 2nd client the control to accept call or not like is done in Skype and all.Can anyone explain how will thisbe done using AS3.
Thanx in advance..That would make for a quite a long tutorial, but to give you an idea of some sorts:
1. Keep track of each user that connects so that you can contact them directly
2. Notify the server side from the sending client side that they want to contact somebody, passing in the receiver's unique ID (that you create)
3. Server side figures out which user that is and send them a notification
4. Keep the state of the request on the server and client sides so that you can control how many requests they get etc
5. Respond by the receiver to the server passing back their user ID. The server side code should then go over a hash table of sorts to find out who was trying to contact them (you also have the option of course of just passing around users' IDs so you just pass back the sender's ID too)
6. Get the server to find the sender and respond appropriately.
Check out some tutorials here that cover a lot of server side coding best practices:
http://www.fmsguru.com/tutorials.cfm?tab=fms
That kind of functionality is covered in our chat application product too, but it's not free unfortunately.
Anyways, hope that helps with your question. It's a big deal building that kind of functionality in but can definitely be done with a bit of coding. -
SUBMIT command; for print dialog box-how to pass parameter here?
Hi Gurus,
I am calling a report from another report. Inside report_2 i am using,
When i execute report2, i get a PRINT DIALOG BOX
Here i need to enter the output device name. and again excute.
I am not able to automate this in my program. Could you suggest?
Through F1 help, i found the screen_field name(of the output device parameter) to be 'SFPOUTPAR-DEST'
and i enter default output device 'PDEST'
where do i give this?
and also, after this, i need to do a 'Print Preview' action and see if file is opening up.
Can i automate these actions?
I am using:
rspar_line-selname = 'SFPOUTPAR-DEST'. // the output device parameter name
rspar_line-kind = 'S'.
rspar_line-sign = 'I'.
rspar_line-option = 'EQ'.
rspar_line-low = 'PDEST'. // PDEST is the default value i want to pass
APPEND rspar_line TO rspar_tab.
Then i do, (inside report 2....)
SUBMIT report_1
WITH SELECTION-TABLE rspar_tab
AND RETURN.
Its not working... i just get the print dialog box(without values being defaulted)
How do i proceed?
Thanks,
RashmiHi
You can do the following way.
data : lv_pri_params like pri_params,
lv_user_name type char16,
lv_user_name0 like tbtcjob-authcknam.
lv_user_name = sy-uname.
lv_user_name0 = sy-uname.
call function 'LOAD_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
exporting
key = lv_user_name
importing
out_parameters = lv_pri_params
exceptions
error_occured = 1
others = 2.
if sy-subrc <> 0 or lv_pri_params-pdest is initial.
select single padest into lv_pri_params-pdest from tsp03.
endif.
submit report1
with selection-table rspar_tab
destination lv_pri_params-pdest
copies lv_pri_params-prcop
list name lv_pri_params-plist
immediately space
keep in spool 'X'
new list identification 'X'
line-count lv_pri_params-linct
line-size lv_pri_params-linsz
sap cover page lv_pri_params-prsap
cover page lv_pri_params-prbig
without spool dynpro
user lv_user_name
and return.

How to make yellow dialog box not come up when I mouse over tabs?
I hate the little small yellow background colored dialog box that pops up when you mouse over tabs on Firefox on Mac.
The reason why this is an in convenience on the Firefox in Mac is when a dialog box comes up and you minimize Firefox the dialog box stays there on the screen, so you have to bring Firefox to the front and then mouse over it til the box go's away, and then finally you can minimize Firefox without having the dialog box stay on your screen.
To negate this problem I want to know if their is a way for me to disable that dialog box from coming up at all. It also comes up when I mouse over my all in one sidebar add on and I have noticed it when you mouseover links on certain sites, like in Pandora when I am mousing over the different artists in my list the little box comes up, again it's not needed and very annoying.you must modify '''browser.chrome.toolbar_tips'''
type in the address bar '''about:config'''
then press the button''' i'll be careful i promise'''
then type in the bar '''browser.chrome.toolbar_tips'''
then '''Double-click''' on it, to make it''' false'''
exit firefox and restart-it.
See for more info : [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.chrome.toolbar_tips Browser.chrome.toolbar tips ]
thank you

Shut down or restart without dialog box?
Is there a way to modify the apple menu so I can shut down or restart without a dialog box? And with out turning on VoiceOver? Thanks - Eric
I have multi-button mouse with one button set as an Option-click. That's the button I click on Shutdown so I don't get the dialog box. If you have an Apple mouse just hold the Option key down when you click the Shutdown item.

I do presentations in PP10. I am new to macair, and used to Windows. HOW DO I DISABLE THE "OPEN DIALOG BOX ON RIGHT CLICK"? I would like to use L mouse to advance slide, and R mouse to go back. The default is to use R mouse to open dialog box. I can disable this by unchecking the box in "advanced" on the PC. How do I do it with the Mac????
Thanks
hacmdHi Rod,
As originally stated in my opening post, the SWF is to be inserted into an Articulate '13 slide (what I called an aggregator originally - I tried not to bring them up since I don't want the chatter about "There's your problem - using Articulate"! ).
Recall that posting this published file to our LMS did not allow right-mouse click functionality as the flash player menu just gets in the way.
If I insert the captivate 6 files into Articulate as a Web Object (referencing the entire folder with html, htm and assets, and then posted to our LMS, and it DOES allow RM click operations in both IE and FF (although no sound on the Captivate slide in FF). But this is not what we want to do as this introduces 2 navigation controls (the Captivate one and the Articulate Player).
Why must anything be posted to a web server for this functionality to work?
I am able to go into the Captivate 6's published folder, and launch the Captivate demonstration by simply double clicking on the index.html file and this works great in both FF and IE after changing the security settings for flash.
Again - I can not believe I am the only one out there trying to use the right-mouse click feature to do a software simulation by embedding the Captivate SWF into an Articulate '13 project. -

Hard drive crashed and had to replace drive and logic board on my MacBook pro. After Install tried to sync with my iPhone and a dialog box pops up stating "this iPhone synced with another iTunes library, erase and sync?".

It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
