Can I prevent Visio 2010 from allowing drag and drop of swimlanes?

I am having a pesky issue while putting together my cross functional flow charts that I would like to prevent.  When I accidentally click and drag a swimlane, it moves.  Is there a way to change a flowchart property where it will not allow a user
to drag and drop columns?  We have multiple people editing the same flowchart and sometimes people accidentally mess it up by dragging and dropping a swimlane instead of the boxes inside the swimlane.  
Thank you for your help!  I can't seem to find a setting anywhere that disables drag and drop of swimlanes.

First, ensure you have the Developer tab enabled. Now select a swimlane, then Developer -> Protection
and check X Position and Y Position.

  • Can you use a custom cursor with drag and drop?

    Hi there! I'm a newbie flash user and working on a simulation for a graduate course in instructional design. I'm using Flash Professional CC on Mac. Here's what I'm trying to do. I have several draggable sprites on the stage and three target sprites. I have specified the original x,y locations of the sprites and have set the end x,y locations as those of each of the three targets. Items must be dragged to one of the three targets.
    Some questions:
    1. Can I specify more than one End x,y location for a draggable sprite? I'm creating a lesson to teach kindergartners how to sort lunchroom waste. If they have a napkin, for example, it could either go into the compost OR into the recycling. In cases like this where an item could really be placed into more than one bin, I want them to get it right if they do either of those things, rather than forcing them to choose which one.
    2. To make my project more "fun" for kids, I wanted to customize the cursor with a graphic of  hand. When I tried this in the flash file it works perfectly until I add the drag and drop functionality for the wasted items. Then the cursor will more around  but not pick up any items. Once I revert back to the standard pointer, the correct drag and drop functionality is restored.
    3. I have it set to snap back to the original location if learner attempts to drop the item on the wrong target. I want to be able to play a sound file when that happens, as well as play a sound file when it lands on the correct target, as well as shrink the item and change its opacity so that it appears invisible. I want to give the illusion of it being placed into the bin. I have no idea as to the proper way to code these events so that they happen.
    4. I've watched dozens of hours of youtube tutorials before coming here. I'm a quick study, but am very new to action script. In one of the videos the developer showed referencing an external action script file which I don't think is an option in CC. The coding method he used seemed much more streamlined and "clean" than the chunks I'm working with now. Is there an easy way for me to code information about these objects  than the way I've got it here now? I hate starting new things with bad habits. The perils of self-teaching.

    Some questions:
    1. Can I specify more than one End x,y location for a draggable sprite?
    yes, use an if-else statement
    I'm creating a lesson to teach kindergartners how to sort lunchroom waste. If they have a napkin, for example, it could either go into the compost OR into the recycling. In cases like this where an item could really be placed into more than one bin, I want them to get it right if they do either of those things, rather than forcing them to choose which one.

Once I revert back to the standard pointer, the correct drag and drop functionality is restored.
    assign your cursor's mouseEnabled property to false:
    yourcursor.mouseEnabled=false;
    3. I have it set to snap back to the original location if learner attempts to drop the item on the wrong target. I want to be able to play a sound file when that happens, as well as play a sound file when it lands on the correct target, as well as shrink the item and change its opacity so that it appears invisible. I want to give the illusion of it being placed into the bin. I have no idea as to the proper way to code these events so that they happen.
    use the sound class to create a sound:
    // initialize your correct sound once with
    var correctSound:Sound=new CorrectSound();  // add an mp3 sound to your library and assign it class = CorrectSound
    // apply the play() method everytime you want your sound to play:
    correctSound.play();
    // change an object's opacity:
    someobject.alpha = .3;  // partially visible
    someobject.alpha = 1;  // fully visible
    someobject.visible=false;  // not visible, at all.
    // change an object's scale
    someobject.scaleX=someobject.scaleY=.5;  // shink width and height by 2
    someobject.scaleX=someobject.scaleY=1;  // resize to original
    4. I've watched dozens of hours of youtube tutorials before coming here. I'm a quick study, but am very new to action script. In one of the videos the developer showed referencing an external action script file which I don't think is an option in CC. The coding method he used seemed much more streamlined and "clean" than the chunks I'm working with now. Is there an easy way for me to code information about these objects  than the way I've got it here now? I hate starting new things with bad habits. The perils of self-teaching.
    you could google: 
    actionscript 3 class coding
    actionscript 3 object oriented programming
    p.s.  you can simplify and streamline your coding by learning about arrays and using hitTestObject.

  • I thought itunes 7.6 allows allows drag and drop to iphone

    So I was reading a few sites and they stated that itunes 7.6 now allows iphone users to drag and drop movies + music. Basically allows you to manually manage your stuff without having to go through the whole "synch" thing.
    But for the life of me i can't figure out how to do this. I have 7.6 but i can't drag or drop anything into my iphone. What am i missing

    "It does allow it.
    On the main iPhone screen in iTunes there is a tick box in the Options section to manually manage music/videos"
    I must be blind because I see no options section. I opened iTunes on my computer, main iPhone screen, no options section. I tried opening iTunes on my iPhone in case that is what you meant, but I see no options section there either. I know this is probably so simple and I'm being simple minded by not seeing it, but I don't!!! Can any one walk me through it like I'm braindead?

  • Allow Drag-and-drop Sorting of Your Music

    With playlists, I love how you can drag and drop tracks to rearrange your playlist.
    However, I've noticed the only sortings you can have for Your Music (songs) are by the titles (track, artist, time, album, added). For Albums and Artists, the only sortings possible are alphabetical, recently added, or most played. I'd really love to rearrange songs myself so my favorites are always on top.
    Spotify should have let users drag and drop to rearrange songs in Your Music (songs) just like we can for regular playlists. This feature should also be extended to songs shown once you select an albums or artist under Your Music.

     The remove op the drag and drop an all other ways to simply move tracks up and down in  a playlist or between playlist  is theworst improvment EVER.You must be able to customize the play order in a playlist. The QUEUE idear is toaly reduclus an very confusing!! Uptil this spring it was easy to set the order tracks played within a play listnow its a total nightmare

  • How can I prevent Adobe Acrobat from applying optimizations and compressionsserve on save/save as...

    I am generating mailpiece documents as PDF v1.4 from a document composition tool.  I am using Enfocus Pitstop v10 (v10.1.7.27 to be exact) to remove some unneeded water marks from the produced document.
    My issue is that I need to PRESERVE the original PDF structure as emitted from my composiiton tool and I'm finding that regardless how I proceed, Adobe Acrobat want to resave the PDF as v1.6 and apply a series of optimizations and compressions which alters the original PDF structure.  The reason I need to preserve the strucure of thePDF is to confirm 508 compliance for the emitted PDF documents.
    Note: I've tried various settings in Acrobat Distiller and the Adobe PD printer (thinking they are invoked somewhere inthe backgroud of Acrobat when it goes to save/save as...) but haven't experienced any progress...
    Am I chasing a rabbit here (meaning what I want is NOT possible) or am I missing something in my configuration attempts??
    Thanks!

    If you need the final PDF to have the requisite well-formed structure tree (that is, compliant with ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1) and thus "accessible" then you need to do the adjustments to your PDF's content streams before establishing that well-formed structure tree.
    Note that PDF  versions 1.4 or above can have that well-formed structure tree - put another way PDF version 1.4 or PDF-1 (PDF is the ISO Standard ISO 32000-1) can have the well-formed structure tree. I can 'build' such a PDF that starts as PDF version 1.4 via Acrobat 5, do some additional post-processing with Acrobat XI Pro which, via a Save As puts the PDF into a new "version" and *not* adversely affect content streams / structure tree.  Your post-processing is what is changing the "guts" not the save to a different version.

  • How can I prevent Firefox profiles from becoming large and taking up space on the C drive for each user?

    I have many users logged into a Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Server (Terminal Server) and all of them use Firefox. Each one of their profiles get very large due to their Firefox profiles.
    Seems that all the space being taken up by the cache folder. (C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\Profile.default\Cache)
    Is there a way to enforce a policy within the program to clear the cache for each user either each time the browser is closed or when the user logs off?

    when you lock the preferences with the mozilla.cfg file in the firefox program folder as it's described in the mozillazine kb article above, it should apply for all users...

  • Can I move content to ATV using drag and drop?

    Sorry if this question was asked before. Please point me to it if it is, coz I couldn't find it.
    The situation:
    Here's what I am asking for. I have about 400GB of media and many real specific playlists used in the family.
    Now I want to have about 20GB of that on ATV.
    The problem:
    The only way to move the 20GB as I see it right now is to sync the content by creating playlists. And my playlists DO NOT match the content I want to move.
    For eg; I want to move all of ledzeppelin to ATV. Its outrageous that I have to create a playlist called LZ just to move it to ATV.
    Is there any way I can drag/drop selected content to ATV just like I do on my IPOD? Am I doing something wrong?
    Any other ideas?

    Actually, I have an update. Finally yesterday night I spent 2 hours creating Artist playlists for ATV syncing. And I created a seperate folder to keep it away from our family playlists.
    However, when I go to the syn window, it does not display a folder structure so all my playlists are mixed and sorted in ascending order!!!!!11 @#$@#$#$#$^ Geezzz!!
    Come on apple! This is really dissapointing and I hope apple fixes this ASAP.

  • HT1535 My iphone shows up in the upper right.  there is no devices list on the left with the newest version.  How can I update playlist?  I cant drag and drop where it is appearing

    The newest versions do not post a devices list on the left anymore.  My iphone appears in the upper right.  You can't drag the playlists to the phone.  Cannot figure out how I am suppossed to add content to phone from the computer.

    I think it's edit - view - show left sidebar.

  • Can you group emails into conversations by drag and drop?

    Conversations in Mail is working fine.  However, sometimes there are messages that don't link because they are from the same person but a different time or not in the current "related" group?
    Can you MAKE them group into the conversation somehow?

    I never have this problem

  • Firefox does not allow me to drag and drop files on FTP site anymore. It used to work before.

    Hi. I have a Linux FTP server at a client's office. They used to use IE and I moved them to firefox. They could at one stage, drag and drop (upload) files and documents using only firefox and not a third party software. Somehow this stop working. Is there any setting in firefox that can be changed in order to allow drag and drop without using a third party software? This client is very fussy and does not want to use third party software, as the drag and drop worked before. This is their argument.

    1- of course i know i have to accept the change, i just don't recall specifically whether or not iPhoto itself was one of the recent updates i accepted. lol
    2-this is not true - a few years back, it was a 2 step process. Then it changed with one of the upgrades, and i have been able (as long as i selected 4x3 *book* as opposed to 4x3 *dvd*) to drag between orientations for the past few years - at LEAST 2 years, maybe as many as 4 (I lose track). I remember thinking at the time what a wonderful upgrade that was because it did away with all that needless clicking. Now all of a sudden this month, it has been switched off - am I the only one who has noticed this?
    I have been creating an annual 'family photo album' book via iPhoto for several years now, and i use the 4x3 book sizing specifically for that reason, so I've got lots of experience using this setting. I *know* it used to work the other way.

  • I bought a 5th Gen Touch. I use iTunes 12 on two computers. One computer allows me to drag and drop. The other does not.The one that allows it has problems. Any idea as to why I can drag and drop on one and not the other. Both are authorized.

Unfortunately, that computer has gone down before I got a chance to fill the Touch. I have the files on another computer but when I connect the Touch to it, it doesn't allow me to drag and drop the files. I have iCloud set on both systems and I have manual management check marked. I'm not understanding why it allows drag and drop on one PC and not the other when they are both set the same way. My question? What do I need to do to be able to drag and drop in iTunes 12? I didn't do anything special on the computer that allows it so I am at a loss.
    Thank you!

    Oh, also want to add that the PC I'm currently using is:
    Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
    My other PC was:
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    My MacBook is:
    Max OSX 10.5.something (the last update available for it. .8 maybe? haha)
    Not sure if this stuff is important, but I thought I'd add it.

  • Can't drag and drop a file into Photoshop for some reason?

    I don't know what made it stop but at this point it's beginning to bug me to no end. I can no longer simply drag a file into Photoshop. I now have to go to "file --> open" in order to get anything into. Is there anything I can do to restore the ability to drag and drop?
    Just to let you know I reset the preferences already and that did nothing. The other thing is I'm running Windows 7, however I've never had an issue with PS on it. Lastly I'm using CS4.
    Thanks for any and all help.

    You should be able to drag an image file from Windows Explorer into the work area if PS is open and maximised.
    At least it works that way with Vista  64. It won't work dragging it on to the task bar button or the PS icon.

  • Get MessageId from drag and drop

    Hi all,
    Is there a way i can get the message id of a mail item that has been dragged and dropped into my "C#" form.
    Main reason being, I'm having trouble getting the file contents from the drag and drop and if i could save the file to a temp location using ItemSaveMessage() I would be able to do what i'm after.
    If not, what are the other ways to get message ids?
    Cheers

    Ok,
    I'm having problems getting the ClientState.
    Is there something I'm missing:
    Code:
    C3POTypeLibrary.C3POManager manager = new C3POC3POTypeLibrary.GWClientState c;
    c = (C3POTypeLibrary.GWClientState)manager.ClientState;
    object t = c.SelectedMessages;TypeLibrary.C3POManager();
    The ClientState is always null. Do I need to link it to the instance of Groupwise already open? How would I do that?

  • Can shared actions reset with drag and drop?

    I'm currently creating an interactive module where the learner will need to drag and drop grey squares to the correct area on the screen.  If you see my picture below, I have a possible 20 grey squares needing to be dragged and dropped for each terminal that's on the lower right of the screen capture. I've created a shared action that shows different wires moving for each of the 20 grey squares moving from the upper image to the lower right image of the screen.  This is painstakingly time consuming, but worth the effect.  The problem I have stems from the drag and drop's "reset" button.  The "reset" button helps set the grey squares that are my drag sources to their original positions, but it does not reset the shared actions that correspond to the movement of each grey square.  Is there any way I can reset not only the drag sources, but also the shared actions associated with the drag sources?  Any help is truly appreciated.
