Can I move the in-focus panel to the "back", so that new windows/dialogs appear in front of it?

Hey,
 I'm currently trying to implement this vi ( http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=157121&view=by_date_ascending&page=1 ) into a folder selection sequence of my main GUI. The problem I am having, however, is that the dialog created by the .vi (which itself is just a call to an associated .dll) is showing up behind my GUI. If the user is attentive enough to notice the new window showing up in his taskbar and clicks on it to bring it to the front, then everything is fine. I'd prefer, though, that the dialog showed up in front of my GUI.
I can't seem to replicate this quickly in a simple .vi. It might be an issue of Vista [dev machine] versus XP [application machine], or built application versus IDE, or or or...
If there's a way to programmatically change windows focus, or "send current window to the back", that would probably solve the problem.
If not, I can try harder to replicate the issue in a simple VI and upload it.

As long as you make the calling vi front panel window the owner of the dialogue box, it should always stay in front of it's owning window until it is dismissed.

  • Can I move  Illustrator 10.0.3 &  Photoshop 7.0 to my new Windows 7 machine?

    I have Adobe Illustrator 10.0.3 and Adobe Photoshop 7.0 installed on a Windows XP machine.  I want to move both installations to my new Windows 7 machine. I do not have my original installation disks.  How can I move these two installations to the Windows 7 machine?  Thanks in advance...

    You cannot "move" them  because you somehow would have to serialize/ license them and aside from al lsorts of tricks that can only be done with a proper install. Some users have successfully installed PS7 in compatibility mode and turning off all security stuff, but Illu 10 is a hopeless case. It's not compatible as Arpit said. In any case, you'd still have to find the installers somewhere. Adoeb does not provide downloads of that old stuff...

  • When I open up firefox, I can only see the top toolbar. No window/webpage appears. WHat is wrong?

    When I open firefox, I can only see the top toolbar, including the tabs. The webpage and window below are gone. All I see is the top toolbar, tabs and my background... HELP!

    Did you also try to delete the localstore.rdf file in the profile folder?

    Try to reinstall Firefox.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 9.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • How can i set the session of a new window?

    I am placing in session an object from an action class like this request.getSession().setAttribute("currentBean",orderInfoModel.getDetails()); and i use it into a jsp page to print some informations. The page name is called orders.jsp where i use the object: <jsp:useBean id = "currentBean" scope="session" type="miru.orderInfo.OrderInfoBean"/> on that page i have a button and when i click it it opens me a new window(not a new tab) <input type="button" value="Edit" onclick="openWindow('http://localhost:8080/miru/scrisoareTransport.jsp','ScrisoareDeTransport',1150,600)">
    the jsp for the new window(scrisoareTransport.jsp) looks like this :
    <%@ include file="taglibs.jsp" %>
    <%@ page import="database.navigator.Navigator"%>
    <jsp:useBean id = "currentBean" scope="session" type="miru.orderInfo.OrderInfoBean"/>
    <html>
    </html>
    Because IE is starting a new session on new window i need to pass the session and probably the currentBean object from the parent page to the childpage and set the child page session with the one coming from the parent page
    Advices?

    well, the Gaussian window and the Gaussian Monopulse vis are good starting points,  I would start with the window vi, but with a shorter length and add zeros before and after to get the full window with the peak at the desired position.

  • How can I change the color of a new window?

    Every time I open a new tab the whole screen is pink. How can I change this?

    Subclass DefaultTableCellRenderer.
    public class MyCellRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer
    Override
    public Componet getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column)
    JLabel lab = new JLabel(String)value);
    lab.setOpaque(true);
    return lab;
    if(isSelected)
    lab.setBackground(Color.red);
    else
    lab.setBackground(Color.white);
    Set the columns in your table:
    table.getCoulumModel.getColumn(0).setCellRenderer(new myCellRenderer());
    table.getCoulumModel.getColumn(1).setCellRenderer(new myCellRenderer());
    etc. for each column in your table.

    1) Using Export/Import option .can I move the Applications/ Reports to New Server?
    2) Is it possible By Taking Application level Export and Import to the new Server?
    3)Do I need to create the Workspace as similar to old Server then Move the ApplicationS?
    or taking the Application EXPORT/IMPORT also imports the Workspace?
    (OR)
    Do I need to import the Database tables taking table level Dumps as well?

    Hello:
    You pretty much have it right. Here's what I do to move applications between APEX installations.
    1) Export/Import Workspaces
    2) Export/Import Applications for each workspace. (I retain the source application id in the target)
    3) Export/Import Workspace Images/Files etc
    4) Use Oracle exp/imp , Oracle DataPump or plain old sqlplus scripts to move database objects from source to target.

  • Can I move the Toolbox and Menu panels in Elements 12 Editor to suit my workflow?[was: Peter London]

    Can I move the Toolbox and Menu panels in Elements 12 Editor to one side when the monitor (1920x1080, 16:9) is in the lanscape position, and to the bottom when the monitor is rotated to the vertical position, so that I can work on the largest image possible?

    I think you can .
    1. Use extended monitor.
    2. Open Photoshop Elements. Make sure following option is checked:
    Edit>Preferences>General: Allow Floating Documents in Expert Mode
    3. Create a new floating document and drag it to the second monitor.
    Start working on the first monitor(having PSE) with canvas on second monitor....
    I hope this is what you wanted?

  • How can you move the objects from one server to another?

    how can you move the objects from one server to another?

    Hi,
    Collecting objects for Transporting
    1. rsa1->transport connection
    2. left panel choose 'object type', middle panel choose 'infocube' and 'select objects'
    3. then choose your infocube and 'transfer'
    4. will go to right panel, choose collection mode 'manual' and grouping only 'necessary objects'
    5. after objects collection finished, create request
    6. If they are $TMP, then change the package.
    7. When you click the Save on the change package, it will prompt for transport. Here you can provide an existing open transport request number, or if you like here itself you can create a new one.
    8. You can check the request in SE09 to confirm.
    Releasing Transport Request  
    Lets say you are transporting from BWD to BWQ
    Step 1: In BWD go to TCode SE10
    Step 2: Find the request and release it (Truck Icon or option can be found by right click on request #)
    Note: First release the child request and then the parent request
    Steps below are to import transport (generally done by basis )
    Step 1: In BWQ go to Tcode STMS
    Step 2: Click on Import queue button
    Step 3: Double Click on the line which says BWQ (or the system into which transport has to be imported)
    Step 4: Click on refresh button
    Step 5: High light the trasnport request and import it (using the truck icon)

  • How can I move the ODI Work Repository from one server to another server?

    How can I move the ODI Work Repository from one server to another server?

    Hi,
    If you would like to move your source models, target models and project contents from Work repository 1 to another work repository.
    I.e. Dev. server to Prod Server.
    1. Firstly, replicate the master repository connections i.e. with same naming conventions manually
    2. Go to Dev. Server work repository -> File Tab -> Click on Export work repository (save it in a folder)
    3. After exporting, you can view the xml files in the folders.
    4. Now, Open the Prod. server and make sure you already replicated mas. rep. details.
    5. Now, right click on model and import source model in synonym mode insert_update (select source model from the folder where your xml file located)
    6. Similarily, import again target then Project.
    Now, check. It should work.
    Thank you.

    I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
    1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
    2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
    3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
    Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
    [To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
    Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
    I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

    But I must point out that leaving the iPhoto Library on the external is worth considering. Your internal drive would be better off without having to carry the photos.
    When you booted with the external connected and you were asked for the library, did you try navigating to the Library in on the external drive?

  • How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4?  And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?

    How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4?  And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?
    My 3GS is dying and it's synced to an older computer.  I have tons of datafiles as well as apps, music, text messages, etc. that I need to get moved to the new iphone4 I'm getting.  Then I need to move the sync to a newer computer so that I can sync the new phone and new computer.
    I understand how to get my apps to transfer to a new pc.  That's not the issue.  It's getting ALL the data from the 3GS to the 4 and then to a new computer.
    Thanks.

    Thanks much, that's very helpful for step one (getting old phone onto new phone).  Very clear. 
    However, I still have the problem of moving to the new computer.  How do I move the sync to the new computer after the new phone is set up?
