AutoSuggest Widget and Custom Keyboard Events

Hi,
I'm using the 1.6 and AutoSuggest widget for a search form.
I've managed to customise it slightly that when a user selects one
of the suggestions with the mouse a hidden form field is populated
with an ID (so that we don't actually have to search for the
selected terms, we can just reference the hidden field value, if
it's defined).
I've used a very simple onclick= on the suggstion div (the
autosuggest itself is almost identical to the examples) that sets
the value of the hidden field to the ID when it's clicked. And
works fine. Although I can't seem to get it to work with keyboard
events. I've tried onkeydown=/onkeypress=/etc but not joy. The
Autosuggest widget keyboard navigation works, (up, down and enter
to select the suggestion) but does it overide any other attempts
for keyboard events? Or am I doing something wrong?
All the code is the same as the example apart from the actual
suggestion div. Here it is:
<div class="list" style="font-size:10px;"
onkeydown="setHiddenValue('{hiddenid}')"
onclick="setHiddenValue('{hiddenid}')">{name}</div>
And the setHiddenValue function (which works fine onclick):
function setHiddenValue(hidID) {
document.getElementById("intHiddenID").value = hidID;
Thanks in advance for any help

Just an update - and not the best solution. I've gone in and
edited the spryAutoSuggest.js to fit our needs exactly. It was a
just case of editing the key press events for the enter key (13 -
it's commented //enter key), which now gets the hidden field by ID
and set the value required to it.
Surprised there was no other suggestions... maybe something
to be resolved in 1.7?

How to make editing cell to show up caret and taking keyboard event

Hello everyone:
I have the following problem with table editing.
1. using mouse clicking, the editing cell will have cursor and taking keyboard event.(no problem with it)
2. just type in data, it will show up in the selected cell, but the editing cell do not have cursor visible and also do not fire the keyboard event.
I have problem with this one. So how to make editing cell to have caret visible and taking keyboard event.
Thank you very much!

Hi,
you should subclass JTable and overwrite two methods.
1. protected boolean processKeyBinding(javax.swing.KeyStroke ks,
java.awt.event.KeyEvent e,
int condition,
boolean pressed)
to store the current keyboard event,
2.public boolean editCellAt(int row,int column,java.util.EventObject e)
to fix the problem with isCellEditable and curret position and direct the event into proper place.

Problem with Mail and customized keyboard layout

I have created a customized keyboard layout in XML, it loads and works perfectly with all applications except Apple Mail. I noticed on a googlegroup that somebody has the same problem. How can I submit this Mail bug to Apple?

New feature for autosuggest widget

Hi Spry developers!
I have implemented a new feature in autosuggest widget, and I
ask you if you can add this feature in Spry 1.6 release...
You can view my example here:
Multiple
Autosuggest Example
You can choose a splitting string that reinitialize the
autosuggest, so you can have multiple suggestion with one input
text field only...
Let me know what you think about this!
Thank a lot and best regards!

Hi shakexx,
Thanks for sharing your patch with us. I've opened a request
for integration in our bug base. Just to set expectations ... we're
winding down for Spry 1.6 so I wouldn't expect it to go in for the
up-coming release.

Handling keyboard events in applets?! Possible?!

Hello,
I wrote a little game that uses keyboard handling events. It is an applet that can also standalone as an application. When i run the program as a standalone application, it handles keyboard inputs fine. ie...i can press the left and right arrow keys and something happens.
But when i run my program as an applet in a web browser, the applet starts up correctly but does not handle any keyboard events. It only handles mouse events. For instance, if i press the up and down arrow keys, the browser window scrolls up and down!!! And the up and down arrow keys have a specific purpose in my applet.
QUESTION: how do i get my applet to accept keyboard inputs such as UP,DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT?

Hmm something went wrong w/ my post so i hope this doesnt show up twice.
Hey thanks a lot for helping me out. The applet/application is large so here is the main() method and the keyboard event handling class code. My question is how come the keyboard events get properly handled when i run it as a standalone application, but keyboard events go to the browser when i run it as an applet? I would post my entire code but it's over 1000 lines and spread out over 8 files. hehehe.
Here is main():
public static void main(String[] args)
      MyProgram applet = new MyProgram();
      applet.isStandalone = true;
      JFrame frame = new JFrame();
      frame.setTitle("Physics: Kinematics");
      frame.getContentPane().add(applet, BorderLayout.CENTER);
      applet.init();                        // initialize the applet inside frame
      applet.addKeyListener(kbHandler);     // kbHandler is a keyboard handling object
      applet.start();
      frame.setSize(APPLETWIDTH,APPLETHEIGHT);
      Dimension d = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
      frame.setLocation((d.width - frame.getSize().width) / 2, (d.height - frame.getSize().height) / 2);
      frame.setVisible(true);
      // private inner class to terminate the Application when frame closes
      frame.addWindowListener(
        new WindowAdapter()
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
                System.exit(0);
      frame.show();
   }"kbHandler" is the keyboard event handling object. It gets initialized in the applet.init() method.
kbHandler = new BMkeyboardHandler();And here is the keyboard event handling code:
// ===== keyboard event handler ===========
   private class BMkeyboardHandler implements KeyListener
        public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
            pushedKey = e.getKeyCode();
            // General administrative key actions
            if(pushedKey == KE.VK_H)
                actionArea.toggleHelpMenu();
                actionArea.repaint();
            else if(pushedKey == KE.VK_C)
                actionArea.toggleCtrlMenu();
                actionArea.repaint();
     }So there it is. Again, the program handles events fine as a standalone application. But running it as an applet in a browser (and even the appletviewer) doesnt let me handle keystrokes.

No keyboard Events on a Window

Hello Java community,
I can't understand why, if you build a simple Window (not a Frame), all keyboard Events are simply ignored !! Everything acts as if the Window can't get the focus, because no LOST_ or GOT_ FOCUS events are triggered. This means that you can't handle keyboard events with a Window and therefore a Textfield will not work (however it still receive mouse events ??). BUT it perfectly works with a Frame , which extends from Window! Strange isn't it ?
I've heard on other forums that , to be eligible for focus a Window must have:
- its owner Frame (the one given in the constructor) :
* displayed on screen,
* containing a focusable component.
- itself, containing a focusable component.
thus i respect theses limitations, i still can't get any keyboard events
pleaze help, i am writing a text area component and without keyboard events ...

Thanks for the answers BUT,
I have already read the javadoc in every ways and I am sure I respect perfectly all the conditions to have my WINDOW focusable.
No, there is another problem, a strange one. In fact, my program works fine under Windows I can type characters into my Textfields but once executed under Linux : no keyboard events! Therefore, no character type allowed. I display in the console, all events that are incomming into my Window, and ALL events are ok (mouse, windows..) except keyboards ones. When I press a key, nothing appears in my console, that's why I think keyboards events are caught and not dispatched to the Window.
I noticed an interresting fact when using my app in Applet. For example, I launched my application with Mozilla (Netscape 4, JRE 1.1). I displayed an empty Window on screen, when my mouse passes over it or when I click, the Java console showed me these events. When I try to hit some keyboard keys, nothing except for certain keys such as F, G, D, J and numeric keys. In fact, these keys are shortcuts to some of the System class (F calls Finalization, G=Garbage Collector, D=Debug Mode...). I truely think that on a Window, all keyboard events are send to the console. Another fact that proved me that i was right : I tried my app with JRE 1.2, and when I wanted to type characters into my TextField (which is on my Window), the typed characters appeared in the console !!!!
A JAVA-experimented person told me to redirect the standard input to my own inputStream... but how ?
Any ideas of solutions ?

PJC and Custom Event

I'm trying to create a Forms PJC which extends VTextField. The PJC should have the added feature to be able to set a limit on the time allowed to receive all input characters. This is to force the user to use other input devices than keyboard, such as card reader. By looking at the Forms demos I was able to make my PJC work, but it can't raise a custom event to notify Forms of the timeout. Only if I extend the generic class VBean can I raise a custom event (dispatchCustomEvent). I have tried to use the VBean as a wrapper for a VTextField but it does not look and act like a textfield anymore. The timeout and custom event works, but I can't get the input value from Forms. I have tried instantiating a VBean inside a VTextField to raise the custom event but it never reaches the Form. So what to do?
But when I extend VBean instead of VTextField I have problems getting something which looks and acts like a textfield.

Hello,
+1. Complete Forms Solution described in the Dynamic poplist in a multi-record item. thread.+
This solution is based on dynamic list population with appropriate predefined record group (the number of such predefined record groups could be rather big --> 1 Continents*Countries.+
Record Groups can be totally dynamic, so you don't need to have them pre-existing at runtime.

CS2: Listbox and keyboard events

Hello all,
I have a listbox widget in a Palette, I need to catch keyboard events specifically I need to be notified when the user presses the RETURN key.
I checked the PanelTreeView sample which defines a custom event handler but functions like KeyDown or KeyCmd are never called despite "CanHaveKeyFocus" has been modified to return kTrue.
How can I be notified when user presses the RETURN key in the PanelTreeView listbox?
Thanks in advance ...
Jorge Martinez

If the StageWebView has focus, you should be able to capture only the hardware key events (like BACK, ..). All the others are handled internally by StageWebView.
Do you see otherwise? If yes, can you post your application ?
Thanks,
Raul

Custom keyboard shortcuts and editing multiple layers in Flash CS4

Hi, all -
CS3 -> CS4 transition newb here who's getting increasingly frustrated with the new motion tweens; however, for this project, I'm working in a 3D space and require using them, so I'm dealing with this bit by painful bit. I found the tip about Split Motion, but first question: how do you apply Split Motion across several layers at the same time? I have six different tweens, and in CS3, I used to be able to shift-click or click-drag across frames and apply a command to all of them (for example, hit F5 to add frames), but Split Motion is requiring me to right-click on each and every layer. This is really laborious, and I worry about future animations that might be more complex.
Similarly, I tend to add custom keyboard shortcuts to each of my Flash versions for commands I use frequently and don't want to right-click a menu for (such as "add motion tween") - however, I can't seem to find where to create a custom shortcut for either that, or Split Motion.
Any and all help would be appreciated as I muddle through this. Honestly, guys, I WANT to like the new version and there's so many added features, but it's hampering my workflow so bad I want to pummel it with sticks.

Hey there,
I definitely hear you about Split Motion. There is an enhancement request for supporting multiple layers, and adding it as a keyboard shortcut. The first one is tricky, but the second one is not. I think there was hope that splitting motions wouldn't be necessary much (especially since you have to be careful when doing so when eases are involved), which is why the eventual need for more functionality related to split motion was realized a bit late in the schedule.
Now regarding other operations, such as you mentioned F5 to insert frames - that and other operations (inserting certain types of property keyframes, F6, and so on) work just fine.
You can apply a shortcut to Create Motion Tween in the custom keyboard shortcut dialog. Not all operations in the program are available though (most context menu items aren't), which is why unfortunately why we don't see Split Motion yet.
It might be possible to avoid Split Motion though with another workflow. What are you using the feature for? Just curious in case I can help.
Jen.

Custom keyboard layout and Gnome3

After moving back to my native Sweden I find that the local keyboard is a pain to use for programming (mainly it's the locations of '{[]}' that are painful). I'm stuck with Swedish keyboards at work, it's mostly laptops so using an external keyboard is not an ideal solution. Currently my solution is to run the following script
#! /bin/bash
# load XKB, if there is one
XKBDIR=${HOME}/.xkb
XKBMAPFILE=${XKBDIR}/keymap/$(hostname)
if [[ -f ${XKBMAPFILE} ]]; then
xkbcomp -I${XKBDIR} ${XKBMAPFILE} ${DISPLAY} &> /dev/null
fi
and then put the desired layout changes under ~/.xkb/. I've then created a .desktop and put it in ~/.config/autostart to run the script on login. The only problem with this is that the changed layout doesn't survive putting the laptop to sleep or hibernating it.
I'd love to get suggestions for better solutions, solutions that survive sleep/hibernate.

But how can I edit this file to extract an Spanish.keylayout ?? And be able to create a custom keyboard layout ??
Don't mess with those files. Just get Ukelele, it comes with copies of what you need:

In Flashplayer, I can crossover mouse and keyboard events. In IrfanView I cannot. Can this be fixed?

My client uses IrfanView to play SWF files. Unfortunately, he does not use Flashplayer. In Flashplayer, I can crossover mouse and keyboard events with no problem. In IrfanView, the second I click a button, the keyboard events are disabled. Is there a fix?

Hi Ned. I may have posted this issue a bit early, but this problem is also happening in Flashplayer 10. It's not exclusive to IrfanView.
Here is something that I encountered during my testing, when I jump to scene 6 using the menu button, I have a play button to jump from one frame to the next frame that stops -- the keyboard events start working. But if all I am doing is jumping scene to scene with the mouse button, the keyboard events are disabled.
I feel as if the keyboard events only work if I am playing frames in the scene. And if all I am doing is jumping scene to scene using the buttons, the keys will disable.
I set up the mouse buttons inside a movieclip that all the scenes share. The mouse actionscript is in the movieclip. On the main timeline of each scene is an actionscript for the keyboard events, even though I had to change each function name.
I feel the actionscript is setup pretty simple. I just wish clicking the buttons would not disable the keyboard events. This may sound redundant, but the keyboard events do the same thing if you use the mouse buttons. It's just preference for the client even though he will need to understand that using the mouse buttons override the keyboard events. He doesn't really lose functionality.
Keyboard actionscripting below:
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyEvent);
function onKeyEvent(e:KeyboardEvent):void {
var character:String=String.fromCharCode(e.charCode);
if (e.keyCode==72) {
gotoAndStop(1,"master");
if (e.charCode==49) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"Distributor");
if (e.charCode==50) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"Mirka");
if (e.charCode==51) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"Farm");
if (e.charCode==52) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"Check2");
if (e.charCode==53) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"Check3");
if (e.charCode==54) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"Scene2");
if (e.charCode==55) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"Scene1");

When to use Custom Adapter, Event Beans and Spring beans

Hi,
I have basic question on when or on what basis/scenario the Custom Adapter, Event Beans or Spring beans should be used.
All three has same implementation methods.
Please help me in understanding when to use Custom Adapters, Event Beans or Spring beans.
Thanks,
Sri
Edited by: 897694 on Mar 7, 2012 8:12 AM

custom adapters:
you have to use a custom adapter when you don't find any adapter in ocep which will serve your purpose.
Most of the times you use an adapter to connect the application with external things like http server, etc It can be both to listen the events or to send the events outside.
Event Beans:
This type of beans does most of the work that an adapter code does but in convention beans are not used to connect the application with external stuff
You can use Beans as event sink etc In this case using an using an adapter is not suggestable.
If you implement Interfaces like Initializing Bean for an adapter code it won't work properly, you have to use an event Bean in that case.
Spring beans:
Spring beans are used when the bean code doesn't implement EventSink or EventSender.
These beans are used to enable something (eg: make ${wlevs_dev_home}/abc/a/b.java this path is not understandable by java code unless you override the path using a spring bean)
Most of the things which doesn't need a connection between components in the application (eg cache loader: you can do this using spring beans and event beans both but spring beans doesn't need a connection with cache)
Hope this small writeup helps you :)

Custom keyboard shortcuts for Liquify and Vanishing Point filter interfaces in Photoshop CS4?

Is there a way to set custom keyboard shortcuts for Liquify and Vanishing Point filter interfaces in Photoshop CS4? When I change my keyboard shortcuts preferences for Photoshop, they don't change for these filter interfaces. Is there another way?

what is the problem ??
I tried to change the shortcut for the Vanishing Point and Liquify from
Edit -> keyboard shortcuts(button) -> keyboard shortcuts (tab) -> filter (tab)
and you will find these filters :
double click on it and make a new shortcut
but it MUST be Ctrl + (any letter) or you can make it Ctrl + Alt + (any letter)
but if you made it just one lettre like S for example
you will can't make a shortcut.
hope I understood what you ment ???
