  • Activex property right click help

    Let me try to explain my problem again with more detail. I need to right click on an ActiveX property node, an example "FormFields (Index)" a variant, to find out how the value is setup for a drop down box in MS Word 2007. Help for ActiveX does properties do not show up from the context menu, although the property is clear listed on the menu, "Help for Item",  the second string of properties from the left.
    I discovered the "Item" is just a number that lists all Formfields in the Word document. Its used to select a Formfield but I was not able to bring up the simple help to inform me of the use.
    Don't start ranting duplicate msg please.... An IE glitch prevented me from replying to post http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/activex-property-right-click-help/td-p/1283920 and page wound up creating a new posting....

    Hi Richjoh, 
    The reason that you are not seeing the help is because LabVIEW does not have the help files for Microsoft ActiveX properties.  LabVIEW includes the help files for LabVIEW properties, but not third party items.  In this case, it would be beneficial if that help menu was hidden.  If you think that this is something that that should be changed in LabVIEW, feel free to make your comments at www.ni.com/ideas.

  • Touchpad Arrow Turns to right click HELP

    I normally use a Bluetooth mouse with my MacBook Pro but, for the last few days, when I use the touchpad the arrow will basically do a command on its own if the arrow or cursor is not moved after about 5 seconds or so. if i leave the arrow on a link in an email, for instance, it will open the link without my pressing anything. if the arrow is just left on the desktop it will open up a dialogue option (sorta like I have done a right-click). It does not do this when i use the mouse, only when I have moved the cursor or arrow with the touchpad. It is VERY annoying, and as it does stuff that i just don't want done! (I had a Dell computer that would do the same thing, and i was hoping i left this issue far behind!!)
    Any advice? Anybody know what I am talking about? My explanation may not make sense. Thank you!

    HI and welcome..
    Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
    Quit Safari (Command + Q) Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Now launch Safari. If you can right click to create a new tab, move that .plist file to the Trash.
    Also, try emptying the Safari cache more often, eithe from the Safari menu bar or Command + Option + E
    And check Safari / Preferences - Tabs. Make sure your settings there are correct.
    I see you are new to Apple Discussions. Please click *My Settings* right side of this window and tell us which Mac OS X (operating system) you have installed. That will create a forum profile for you which will help now and in the future if you need to post for help again. Thanks!

  • I cant right click to print a portion of aweb site. also--print icon is missing

    this is enough info for you.

    Firefox has never had a Print menu item in a contextual menu, and the Print button has never been automatically placed on a Toolbar. You need "Customize" your toolbars with the Print button from the Customize Palette, and install an extension for adding context menu items for print and print preview.

  • Why cant I right click on web pages?

    whenever i right click nothing happens. if I want to save a pic i cant right click to save to a file.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Right click issues on Satellite P50T-B

    I don't know how to change the setting so that I can have a traditional right click on the touch pad.
    I know that you can press with both fingers to do some functions like a right click, but when I am using Microsoft word or Facebook I cannot figure out how to right click a misspelt word and see how its spelt. When I right click a work in word or facebook the cursor changes to the scrolling.
    Please help, it is getting really annoying taking a minute to figure out how to spell a word because I cant right click
    Thanks!

    Hi Thomas.
    Go to control panel -> mouse
    Here you would find some standard options to control the USB mouse and touchpad.
    In order to find some advanced touchpad control settings, you should go to last tab.
    I guess your notebook supports ELAN touchpad and therefore the last tab should be called ELAN
    Within this tab you have to click on Options button.
    Now new window (ELAN smart pad) would open providing different control options.
    In One finger tab you would find the option to control the tapping, clicking, drag and drop, edge scroll.
    Additionally you find the tabs for Multi-finger and Additional features.

    Hey adonaros,
    Please check the following:
    if it a laptop try to connect an external USB mouse (preferably Microsoft do not need a different driver).
    If you've worked with a USB mouse, try connecting it to a different PORT (If this PC will connect to the back of the computer directly to the motherboard).
    Connect a different mouse and it tested proper on another computer.
    Check for software that comes with the operating system and uses / controls the right button (as translation software, etc. ..)
    Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue

  • Why can't i right click a bookmark inside a folder on my favourites bar?

    I can right click a bookmark on my favorites bar to open it in another tab and stuff, but i cant right click the bookmark when it's inside a folder?

    Only because Apple didn't make that possible - although you can probably Command click it to open in a new tab.
