App is activated just after it is hidden with Alt+tab

Hi
I have following problem under Mac
My application changes screen resolution to the size of
application on the
startup
And when the user wants to jump to another application
without closing
director app(through ALT+TAB), I should restore original
screen resolution.
Under Windows I've realised it using on activateWindow and on
deactivateWindow handlers
on deactivateWindow
gResolutionXtra.reset_resolution()
end
on activateWindow
gResolutionXtra.set_resolution(1024,768,32)
end
But on MAC it works very strange
Just after application window disappears(after pressing
ALT+TAB), it appears
again; using put-functions I see, that activateWindow handler
is called. The
reason of this is reset_resolution function, which is called
in on
deactivateWindow function. When it is commented - window
disappears and is
activated just on next ALT+TAB or click on application Icon
on taskbar -
directly as I need it and as it works under windows
Does any one have some workaround, how can I restore the
resolution on
changing to another application but without activating the
window again?
Any help will be appreciated
game_dev
P.S. Sorry for Windows terminology for mac problem, but I'm
realy new to MAC

If I do not use reset_resolution function everything works
fine
But at the moment I want to resen resolution in on
deactivateWindow
handler - this strange thing happens - onactivateWindow is
called
authomatically
How can i prevent it?
any help will be appreciated

  • Terminal.app won't return window to default size with open tab

    I regularly have multiple Terminal.app windows open with multiple tabs open in them. If I have a window open with no tabs, I can drag scale the window to whatever size is convenient for me at the moment, then use the Window > Return to Default Size function to make it go back to my default size configured in the app preferences.
    The problem comes when I have a window open that is already scaled to a different size and I open a tab. This resets the default size to whatever size the window was when the tab was opened. The result is that if I use the Window > Return to Default Size function, it does nothing, unless the window has been scaled again, then it resets the window size to what it was when the tab was opened, not the default size configured in my preferences.
    Is this a feature, or a bug? Is there a way I can make it retain the default size dimensions even when I've opened a tab?

    I would solve the problem by resizing after closing the added tab. However, your inquiry is really beyond my abilities. Questions do get answered in these forums; sometimes not, in which case resorting to Apple Support _may_ resolve the issue. Have you checked out posting under "Mac OS X Technologies"? I believe there are Unix sections to that forum. Good luck.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Office 2013 apps showing templates error after Sysprepping Windows 7 with CopyProfile setting

    Here is my setup:
    I installed Windows 7 Professional.
    I entered Audit Mode (which automatically logged me in as the built-in Administrator user) and installed the entire Office 2013 Professional Plus suite.
    In Audit Mode, I opened Word 2013 to get through the "new user" prompts, such as the opening movie that plays in all Office 2013 programs. I did this to ensure that any new users who log into the computer would not need to sit through these "new
    user" prompts.  I also rearmed Office 2013.
    I ran Sysprep with the CopyProfile setting in the Unattend.xml file, with the /generalize switch, and the /oobe switch. The CopyProfile setting copies settings from the built-in Administrator account to any new user who logs into the system.
    Both Windows and Office were successfully activated using KMS.
    Everything seemed to work, but there is one problem: when any user -- all of which are standard users rather than administrator users -- logs into Windows and runs any Office 2013 program that has templates (such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), the templates
    on the Start page do not appear. In their place, the following error message appears on the Start page where the templates would normally have been listed:
    "Sorry, we had trouble getting the featured templates and can't show them right now."
    Below the error message is a link that reads “Work Offline.” If you click the “Work Offline” link, the error message disappears and the templates appear as they should.  However, the error message re-occurs when the application is closed and re-opened.
    If I login as the built-in Administrator account (i.e., the account I used to modify the default profile), this problem does not occur at all when using Office 2013 programs.
    Any ideas?

    Is there any chance to let you skip the Start page for Office application? I mean that try to open Office application (such Word)and go to File > Options > Untick the option "Show the Start screen when this application starts". Try to re-launch
    the application again to check if the error still pop-up. If yes, I'm afraid the default build-in template is corrupted somehow and we need to copy a healthy one from another computer or totally rename normal.dotm documents from %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\template.
    Afte that, please check if the issue still persists.

  • Add line to a text file just after a specific line with PowerShell

    Hi,
    I have to edit remotely a file called nsclient.ini on hundreds of computers, the file contains some command definitions. For example:

  • Can't get back to GDM after killing X server with ALT CTRL BACKSPACE

    the killing is working but i get into a black screen with a couple of lines, and can't do nothing there... (i don't have a command line there)
    (it is the screen i get before gnome is talking control after my computer starts.)
    the problem started(i think) with gnome 3.16.
    in gnome 3.14 it worked great, and after killing X, i get into gdm again automatically.

    Since 3.16 gdm uses Wayland to present the login screen (e.g. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n … E-Mid-Feb) so that graphical glitch occurs over the transition from Wayland to X. If you don't like it then (I guess) you can force gdm to use X. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Document … ts/Desktop. I don't see any glitch on my intel graphics box.

  • An Alt+Tab app-switching icons issue

    This may sound trivial, but it's really bothering me.
    When I switch apps with Alt+Tab under GNOME, there is this low resolution image-missing icon, for certain programs.
    And I don't really mind those few programs not having their own icons, it's the low res generic one that I'm annoyed with.
    So, ok- I went out to search for this icon's source, and I actually found out that these image-missing icons reside in /usr/share/icons/gnome/<RESOLUTION>/status directories.
    And, to my surprise there is actually a perfectly good 256x256 .png image in its appropriate directory, called image-missing.png
    Worse still, I tried to remove (and backup) all the low res ones, leaving only the 256x256 one in place, but to no avail.
    Somebody care to explain all this to me?
    Thanks.

    I am still having this issue. I've noticed it on my old iMac with a wired keyboard and mouse, my new iMac with a wired keyboard and magic mouse and lastly my MPB, with obviously a built in keyboard and mouse. It's not a failed USB device or failed hardware IMO. It is more likely a bug with SL or a third party app.
    Though I personally don't run any third party apps in the background other than Dropbox.
    Has anyone else out there still been seeing this issue?
    I actually took a short video of it happening tonight, you can see it here:

    I'm running OS X 10.6.7. Thanks for any insight or help.

  • HT1725 whenever i download larger apps i.e 100mb, after download is completed, instead of processing it just restarts downloading

    whenever i download larger apps i.e > 100mb,
    after download is completed, instead of processing it just restarts downloading

    You can automatically save downloads without seeing the Open/Save/Cancel dialog in the Options:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > General > "Saves files to"
    However, I can't think of a way to have the Open/Save/Cancel dialog always default to Save. I think mine suggests whatever I did last for the same type of content, but I haven't paid close attention.
    I'm out of time to address the problem with "do this automatically" but there is one suggestion for why it could be grayed out in this article: [[Change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file]].
    Is it possible you had a download-related extension before? To compare settings and extensions, please retain the Old Firefox Data folder on your desktop. Aside from checking the extensions in there, it would be interesting to run a text file comparison on your currently active prefs.js file and your old one in that folder.

  • Hi I am just after downloading ios 5 to my iphone but now the apps on my phone won't open or work? Any ideas as to why? thanks.

    Hi, I am just after downloading ios 5 to my iphone but now the apps on my phone won't work, even the free ones. Have tried deleting and reinstalling but it asks for credit card details even for the free apps. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks

    If it is asking for account details then it might just need you to confirm your account before it lets you proceed. Maybe the terms and conditions changed since last time or something like that. Try signing into your Apple account in iTunes on a computer first to check that. Then restart the phone and try again.

Where does the problem lie? Also can anyone tell me the hierarchy of use between the Apple Maps, SIRI, and Google maps when the app is on the phone? How do you choose one over the other as the default map usage? Or better still how do you suppress SIRI from using the Apple maps app when requesting a "go to"?
    I have placed an address location into the CONTACTS list and when I ask SIRI to "take me there" it found a TOTALLY different location in the metro area with the same street name. I have included the address, the quadrant, (NE) and the ZIP code into the CONTACTS list. As it turns out, no amount of canceling the trip or relocating the address in the CONTACTS list line would prevent SIRI from taking me to this bogus location. FINALLY I typed in Northeast for NE in the CONTACTS list (NE being the accepted method of defining the USPS location quadrant) , canceled the current map route and it finally found the correct address. This problem would normally not demand such a response from me to have it fixed but the address is one of a hospital in the center of town and this hospital HAS a branch location in a similar part of town (NOT the original address SIRI was trying to take me to). This screw up could be dangerous if not catastrophic to someone who was looking for a hospital location fast and did not know of these two similar locations. After all the whole POINT of directions is not just whimsical pasttime or convenience. In a pinch people need to rely on this function. OR, are my expectations set too high? 
    How does the iPhone select between one app or the other (Apple Maps or Gppgle Maps) as it relates to SIRI finding and showing a map route?  
    Why does SIRI return an address that is NOT the correct address nor is the returned location in the requested ZIP code?
    Is there a known bug in the CONTACTS list that demands the USPS quadrant ID be spelled out, as opposed to abreviated, to permit SIRI to do its routing?
    Thanks for any clarification on these matters.

    siri will only use apple maps, this cannot be changed. you could try google voice in the google app.

  • After updating my IOS TO 8.1 (12B411) on 10/23/14, I went to update my blood sugar level in the IHealth app. And now after the new IOS update I'm unable to find the blood glucose option in the IHealth app. Did Apple remove it or just mess up AGAIN?

    Apple removed blood glucose until further notice. The reason behind this is that it gave a distorted picture in countries where the medical world used other measuring units. I suspect it will be available again in a future update.

    You possibly set up an auto-renewing subscription with the app - there are instructions on this page on how to manage them, including how to stop them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098

    Hi. NOT CALL ME FOR I AM DEAF BETTER U WRITE ONLY EMAIL.
    When I run the app ALLMYMUSIC FROM WONDERSHARE after installing I get this window up.
    When I log in with my Apple ID I just get:
    The Apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect. Please try again.
    I have however made sure that this is the correct Apple ID and password that I am putting in. In the Mac App Store it works.
    Do you have any solution?
    I am running Mavericks 10.9.2.

  • My messages app won't open, after I sent a large iMessage. I think it just has too much data on it. What can I do other then reset my iPhone?

    My messages app won't open, after I sent a large iMessage. I think it just has too much data on it. What can I do other then reset my iPhone?

    Hi everyone, I had this problem but none of the solutions above worked. What happened with me, and with others in other forums, is that a particular thread or message was causing the problem. I'd go to open the message and all I'd get was a white screen with the blue bar at the top. So, I went into contacts, pressed 'send message' to a contact whose message wasn't causing the problem, then I pressed back to messages. You then swipe to the left on the thread that's causing the problem, and delete it. Sadly this means you will lose all that person's messages, but you can try opening it from there and deleting it on the thread. Didn't work for me though. Hope that helps! It was the only thing that worked for me after about three days of total frustration and resetting!
