Cannot move/use/open anncilary (popup?) windows in multiple applicationsI

I have started having trouble with numerous Finder related tasks:
1. I cannot close/move/use certain windows on the desktop. Usually these are what I would describe as ancillary windows. For example, iCal automatic reminder windows cannot be closed nor removed. In Dreamweaver, tools menus get stuck and cannot be moved. This problem progresses to where I can no longer use or even open Dreamweaver tools windows, (e.g., I am unable to type in open spaces and cannot get popup menus to scroll.)
Re-booting my computer makes the stuck iCal windows disappear, but the next time iCal sends me a reminder, I’m back in the same situation. Re-launching Dreamweaver restores functioning for a while, but within 5 minutes or so, the problems return.
I have no idea if this is related, but about 2 weeks ago, I had even worse problems (e.g., was unable to rename folders on the desktop or move them to the trash.) Pushing F6, the number lock key, eliminated those problems, but now I am having increasing difficulty with the issues described above.
Thank you for any help you can offer!

Hello akaMisterAnderson
I am having the exact problem when I try to rename or move the MOV file. I use Unlocker to determine which process is locking the MOV file and like you have said: it is the Explorer process.
I hope there will be a patch for this problem soon and if you know of any solution, please inform me.
Thanks.

  • Popup windows on multiple windows is opened across both monitors.

    I am using Firefox 6 the latest version on Windows 7 64 bit using 2 monitors.
    I was on a website that wanted me to logon via facebook. So the browser opened a popup windows.
    The window that opened covered both monitors. The left edge of the window stayed on the left most monitor (correct). The top edge of the window stayed on the top of both monitors (correct). The right edge of the monitor ended alittle beyond the right most side of the right monitor; I could see the minimized but not the maximized button (incorrect). The bottom edge of the window disappeared below the bottom of both monitors (incorrect). Neither the minimized nor maximized buttons worked.

    Do they drag there and snap back, or do they not drag there at all?
    If they don't drag there at all, check System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement to see how the system thinks the displays are related spatially. You may need to drag left or down instead of right.
    Your profile says you are running Mountain Lion, but if you have upgraded to Mavericks, there's a setting that says whether displays are in one space or separate spaces. If it is set to use separate spaces, you may see a window snap to one of the other display.

  • Action to open a popup windows?

    Hi experts,
    In a view I want to have a button which has an action 'search' to open a popup window. So how to write this action code?
    Thanks!

    hi,
    pop up is a new window.
    so make a new view for the pop-up.
    make a window for this pop-up view.
    you will be calling this window as a pop-up.
    make a context element for your window of IWDWindow type.
    write the following code in the action of the event when you want the popup...
    //     IWDWindowInfo objWindowInfo = (IWDWindowInfo)wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("<Window name here>");
    //     IWDWindow objWindow = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createModalWindow(objWindowInfo);
    //     objWindow.setWindowPosition(300,150);
    //     objWindow.setTitle("Choose Manufacturer");
    //     objWindow.setWindowSize(300,400);
    //     objWindow.show();
    //     wdContext.currentPopupNodeElement().setCtxManuPopup(objWindow);

  • After updating to automatic firefox 10.0 I cannot use open in new window. Why ?

    Tried to "open link in new window" on several sites after automatically updating to 10.0 . Windows links will not open in new window.

    You may need to delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing the latest Firefox.<br />
    In case you still have problems after installing then check your security software.
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • When button press it should validate item and open another popup window

    apex 4.2.1
    I am having difficulties on it please help.
    I have a report and link and it open a page (popup window ) and it has items say, :p2_item_no and :p2_Final_Date (Date) and button submit and cancel.
    this page has process that is fetced the data for some hidden items. for example. :p2_Last_date (hidden).
    all above work ok but when hit the submit button then :p2_final_date item should be validated with :p2_last_date item
    so if :p2_final_date < :p2_last_date then error else accept the date value and same time go to the page 3 (another popup window).
    so from same submit button it must control both action. first validate and if success then open another page (popup window).
    thanks for help!
    RI.

    You can create an item level validation of type PL/SQL Expression on the popup page opened from the report.
    The item you would create the validation on would be P2_FINAL_DATE and the pl/sql expression you would use would be:
    :p2_final_date >= :p2_last_date;--Keith                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

  • Open a popup window by clicking the icon on the datagrid

    I am using PopUpManager class to displayed the popup. While clicking the datagrid popup will display.
    Now i have a change in requirement that i need to open popup window when the user clicks the icon on the datagrid itemrenderer. Expecting valuable response to complete the requirement.

    Hi David,
    Thanks for the prompt response.
    In our application, while clicking the datagrid column, we have calculate
    some values based on the datagrid and show the results in the another
    datagrid placed below. Also if the user wants some info about the customer
    we have some it in a popup by
    private function custPopUp(event:ListEvent):void {
    if(event.columnIndex==3){
         hiddenActionpopup = "OpenPopUp";     
         requestPopUp.send();                    
    }else
              // when the user clicks the column other than columnIndex 3,
    we      //have show the calculate results in another datagrid.
    Now what we r going to do is, instead of protecting a column, we have an
    icon for customer details, other than that If an user clicks anywhere it
    will show the calculation.
    For that, I need to set action for the icon in the itemrenderer.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Jude Paul
    hi
    If you want have an action dependendant on a cell in the grid you can use
    itemclick rather than doing the operation from renderer.
    protected function dataGrid_itemClickHandler(event:ListEvent):void
       if (dg.columns[event.columnIndex].dataField =="whatever the datafieldname
    is") doPopup();
    <mx:DataGrid x=0" y="0" width="100%" height="100%" id="dg"
    itemClick="dataGrid_itemClickHandler(event)"/>

  • How to open a popup window through JSF

    Hi,
    I am new to JSF technology. I want to open a popup JSF page from home page. Is there any way to do that without using JS ? B'z i saw the link forum.exadel.com/viewtopic.php?t=559, In this he is using JS function to open the new window. I want to do that without using Script.
    Thanks in advance.
    Sudhakar

    assign a new frame name / window name to a form's target, when the form will be submitted, a new window will pop up
    But, AFAIK, you won't be able to set any of its properties (size, modal & so on), so JavaScript remains the best solution IMHO

  • Button Item to open a popup window  but not do a submit

    Hi,
    I want to open a popup using a button that is next to an item. I do not want a submit to occur.
    I've followed the directions in Want Button Item to call popup window and the popup displays correctly.
    However it also does a submit.
    How to do I prevent the submit when this button item is pressed?

    I copied the Button templates, called it "Javascript Button", and changed its code from:
    <table class="t15Button" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"  summary=""><tr>
    <td class="t15L"><img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_15/button-l.gif" alt="" /></td>
    <td class="t15C"><a href="#LINK#">#LABEL#</a></td>
    <td class="t15R"><img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_15/button-r.gif" alt="" /></td>
    </tr></table>to:
    <table class="t15Button" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"  summary=""><tr>
    <td class="t15L"><img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_15/button-l.gif" alt="" /></td>
    <td class="t15C"><a href="AAAAA">#LABEL#</a></td>
    <td class="t15R"><img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_15/button-r.gif" alt="" /></td>
    </tr></table>where "AAAAA" is "javascript:#BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES#" (the markup wasn't working so I had to describe it this way).
    I then put the script I want to execute in the Button Attributes and made the Request whatever. It's not very elegant but it does work.

  • Message (of message manager) gets lost by opening a popup window

    Hi all,
    On behalf of a better error/exception handling, I would like to show the stacktrace in a popup window, that means, if the application reports an error message (through the message manager in the view controller), the user (administrator, developer) can optionally click a link (LinkToAction => opening a modal window) to see the stacktrace in a separat popup window.
    Unfortunately if the popup window now gets displayed, the error message on the main view (background of the popup window) will be cleared, so this - for the common user more readable - information is not anymore displayed, also when the popup will be cleared.
    Of course, I could backup the error message in a context value and redisplay it after closing the popup window, but I suppose that's not a very cool solution...
    Other any good ideas?
    Thanks,
    Stefan

    Hi Stefan
    Usually showing a stack-trace to the end-user of your application is not so helpful as might appear. My experience shows that the information is too technical for the end-user and does not help him/her to resolve the issue/problem. It's better to display error messages pointing him to some solution or directions that he might do in order to fix the error.
    If you still want to show a stack-trace I'd advise the following. You have to prepare the UI control with the stack-trace in the same server response (round trip) which shows the message manager's messages. The messages will not disappear until a client sends a new request to the server. When you open the popup such request definitely takes place.
    Maybe try to display the stack-trace in the bottom of the screen so user have to scroll down a little bit to show the trace.
    Or maybe Tray control will help in the case. Try to put the trace in a text view and put the view in a tray. Then user has to expand the tray to see the trace. But do not assign any event handlers to the tray to avoid additional request to the server while it's expanding.

  • Opening a popup window from another popup

    Hi,
    I want to know if a popup window can be opened from another popup window??
    Iam trying to do this from a JSP page
    <td><a href="../common/help/Help_FAQ.html" onClick="return popup(this, 'FAQ','width=900,height=500,scrollbars=1')">FAQ.Now I have another link in FAQ page, which when clicked , rather than opening a separate full size window, overlays on the FAQ window with the FAQ window width and height.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks.
    It was a mistake on my end.
    Instead of having <script type ="text/javascript"> I had only "javascript"
    and the page was not picking up the function .
    Now,, It is solved.

  • Opening a popup window with fade effect

    Hi,
    I have a scenario where I want to open a pop up title window with some nice effect.
    Can you please suggest how do I achieve it?
    I have a repeater that repeats set of Text UI comps and I want to show a pop up window on MouseOver or MouseClick of each of these Text UI comps.
    Please help.
    Thank you,
    Amey

    if you want to open an title Window with a smooth fade effect there are more than one possible ways.
    1. Declare Fade Effect
         <s:Fade id="windowFade" target="{_titleWindow}" alphaFrom="0.0" alphaTo="1.0" />
    2. Execute the fade effect on openening
         2.1 start the effect after the PopUpManager.addPopUp
         PopUpManager.addPopUp(_titleWindow, this);
         windowFade.play();
         2.2 start the effect on added-Event
         protected function titlewindow1_addedHandler(event:Event):void
              windowFade.play();
    3. Make sure the effect is stopped before you start the animation with windowFade.stop()
