Thanx in advance

There is a when-mouse-over trigger and that works fine in client-server mode for Forms 5/6/6i, but that is less indicated when deployed using Application Server.
In that trigger you may write whatever code is necessary, restricted package procedures.
Still, I think, for your case, if you do not have to deal with a multi-record block, you should use the HINT property for that item and set_item_property with the HINT argument for that item in order to set the hint to the item's value - this should set_item_property should be called on the when-new-record-instance .

Mouse pointer has lost its place in the shapes list

Suddenly, my mouse pointer exhbits a mismatch of shape and current context.
Examples:
On the compose page of ASC, placed in the left or right margin, or anywhere from the to of the screen to the space below the grey bar of buttons that starts with the apple and ends with the search box, the pointer has the expected black arrow shape.
Hovered over Apple Support Communities, New, Your Stuff, History, Browse, or in the spaces along that line, it changes to a cross with centred dot similar to the drawn shape below:
Placed in or beside the formatting controls above the compose box, it returns to the expected black arrow shape, whether over the grey area or the cfomatting buttons.
In the text entry area, whe're back to the cross, very difficult to pick out on the page, especially when it's somewhere in the text.
The cross remains as I move the pointer down the page. There's a quick flash of the arrow to the left and slightly above the cross as the pointed moves downward across the word Categories, and across the words in the list of categories below, and from there to the bottom of the page.
The cross gets substituted for other pointer shapes as well—On Google Maps, the cross shows until I press the mouse button to grab the map, then changes to the enpected closed hand when I drag the map in any direction. In Sreet view, I get the arrowm the cross, or an I beam in the circle that indicates where a click will move the viewpoint, or a cross in the circle that indicates the center of a magnified view.
Questions: What's happening? How do I fix it?
Comments and suggestions apreciated.

Hi Linc,
Thanks for the pointer. Neither of the Adobe plug-ins mentioned in the linked discussion are installed on my MBP; in fact the only one installed is the Google Earth We Plug-in.
In the meantime, the mouse pointer has gone back to behaving normally. The only significant action I can think of is that the MBP was shut down for a little over 10 hours today. I had restarted it a couple of times last night, but had not let it sit for any extended time.
Still a mystery.

Mouse coordinates (0,0) at the center of the monitor screen on computer

Is it possible to have the mouse coordinates at (0,0) at the center of the screen of the laptop /monitor of the PC instead of the top left hand corner of the computer?

Hm, not entirely true.
The point is: "What does 0,0 refer to?"
Windows is using the top left corner of the primary monitor as 0,0. So my previous repliers are correct.
But when relating coordinates to specific windows, the 0,0 could be elsewhere. Typically, those relative coordinates also refer to the top left corner (0,0), but this can change.
In LV for instance, you see the relative 0,0 coordinate of the front panel by the crossing and the dot (grey) if you have the grid enabled. Initially, the dot (0,0) is located in the top left corner, but it could be moved.
On the other hand, there is no easy way to move 0,0 of the front panel to the center of your application window as it depends on the size of the window. You can do it though using property nodes (VI=>Panel=>Pane=>Origin).
hope this helps,

How can I enable the center mouse click to open and close tabs in Firefox and Chrome?

I have a MacBook Pro Model A1261 purchased in 2009. On my other mac at work (and my PC) I can center click to open a link in a new tab while in Chrome or FireFox, and also to close a tab by clicking on it in the tabs at the top. I am using an external USB mouse on my MacBook Pro and when I click the center scroll wheel it brings up the dashboard. I looked in the settings but wasn't able to find a way to change that setting for the center button to open and close tabs in my web browser. Is there a way? Please help!

You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
* browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
* browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
* browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
* browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
* browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false

When a link is rolled over by the mouse pointer a very annoying pop up with the link address shows up. There seems to be no way to prevent this from happening. How can this pop up be made to go away?

no matter what website, every time I move the mouse pointer over something to click on a line of black printing in a thin white box pops up at the bottom of the screen and shows me the http address of the item I'm about to click on. I want to shut this function off or remove it if possible. I find that the previous version did not do this, it seems to be unique to 6.0. It's VERY distracting and ANNOYING. How can I make it go away????

When you hover the mouse cursor over any link, it will display the link details at the bottom left of the screen; black font on white background.
This display can be very important as it shows the full address of the hyperlink. This can be particulary useful for checking on whether the link is bona-fida. For example; if you receive an email that looks like it is from a bank , hovering over the link will indicate instantly that the link is pretending to be something it isn't.
Another example that can be useful; a website link may say 'contact me' rather than give the actual email address. However, when you hover over the link, the actual email address will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. If you click on the link then Outlook usually opens, however I do not use Outlook, so displaying the email address is useful.
This display is something that has always been present and it is also displayed if you use IE.
However, I can see that this annoys you, so you could try the following:
[[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/link-location-bar/?src=api]]
After installing the addon, you will need to restart Firefox, then go to History and Restore previous session to get all your tabs and webpages back.
You will now find that when you hover over any link, it will now display in your address bar on the right hand side.
If this helps, please say this question has been solved.

I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from Adobe and Windows. I have a new pc with window 8.1.

It could be a coincidence, but I rebooted the machine and (knock on wood) PSE13 seems to be working ok.

Is there a way to keep the mouse pointer in my window

I would like to change the cursor so that it can not go outside my application window until they exit the program. Is this possible?

Just because you disagree with its usage does not make
it an invalid question. Suppose you had an
application dedicated to real-time monitoring of a
high-pressure system. In our hypothetical example,
accessing other parts of the system without first
properly "dismissing" the application could be
potentially hazardous - people could get hurt. In
this case, would it not make sense to make the
application "system-modal"? Furthermore, it would be
a convenience to the operator if the mouse pointer
were trapped in this critical application.
How would one go about trapping the mouse cursor
inside this application?Yes, it would make sense to make this application system-modal. And it would also make sense to not allow any other applications to run on the monitoring system. For such an application, then, it would occupy the entire screen and there would be no way to swap away from it to any other application. Which is what several people suggested for this rather non-critical application, I believe.
But in the ordinary case, where you are running on a system that does allow multiple applications to run, trapping the mouse cursor in a single application is bad manners and an alternate solution should be sought.

Is there a way to obtain the text item's value when the mouse pointer at?

Hi,
Is there a way to obtain the text item's value when the mouse pointer at? Mouse pointer may be located somewhere out of current record and even out of current block.

T43p - Mouse pointer freezes after changing the battery to a new one

Hello,
I have bought a new battery for my IBM Thinkpad T43p. In the description of the new battery I have seen that this battery is compatible with T43 series. Battery details are: DC 10.8V 5200mAh/56Wh. Replace: 08K8214.
My problem is:
I have ordered a new battery for my Thinkpad T43p but when I turned off the notebook and replace the old battery with the new one the notebook became strange. I use Windows XP Prof on this computer and when the login screen appeared and during I was typing my user name and password the mouse pointer was freezed and I had to turn off the computer. It was happened within approx 1 minute after the Login screen appeared. The symptom was the same with or without plugged in AC charger. I have tried several times and the same behavior was happened. When I changed back the old battery the computer became normal again without any freezing. The fan was working properly in both cases. The symptom is the same if I change the battery during AC charging and using Windows.
I don't have an idea about the reason of it. Can you help me with ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Slider

Pull the battery out and run the machine on AC only. Does it freeze now?
If it doesn't, the "new" battery needs to be replaced.
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

My mouse pointer in finder is not working by double clicking on the application.I have to double click and select open for opening the application.Can you suggest me some settings to fix this problem?

Hi,
Try this ... reboot your Mac and see if double clicking works again.
Also, you can just select the Application you like to open and hold down the Command+O to open.
Also, did you check your setting for the mouse in system preferences.

Why the mouse pointer in Logic Pro does not change shape during work in OSX 10.9.1?

I've a MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch Late 2013 and I'm using two external displays. One connected to to the HDMI port (display 1) the other to thunderbolt (display 2). The MacBook display is closed. I’m working with Logic Pro 9.1.8 (32bit) with OSX 10.9.1
Why the mouse pointer in Logic Pro does not change shape during work???
It was already difficult with OSX 10.9 but now after upgrading to 10.9.1 it's game over!
At least before I could select which display use Logic Pro to have all the shape functions of the pointer. Not in both displays, so to be forced to edit in ONLY ONE of the two displays using this workaround: (right click on Logic icon in Dock: Option --> Desktop on Display 1). Now or I select “Option --> All Desktops” or does not work. However, by selecting all displays you say goodbye to Mission Control. This can’t be a solution!!!
The amazing thing is that Nuendo has no problem while Logic Pro, Apple's native software, it can't!
With Nuendo it’s indifferent in which display you are working, the shape of the mouse pointer changes shape depending on the requirement in both displays.
This thing drives me crazy!
Solutions?
Here some ideas in other foums:
http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=86264
But this aren't really solutions but workarounds. Use Logic in all desktops makes Mission Control useless!!

I installed all over again by formatting as suggested by the genes of pro application support. Each plug-in, each virtual instrument, a job that lasted 3 days. And as suggested for each new plug-in I proceeded to check the proper functioning of Logic Pro and did each time a back up with Time Machine.
The Result:
Logic works as it should ONLY on the primary monitor and ONLY on the first desktop.
BUT
Reason and Nuendo dont' have this issue !!
I believe that Apple developers are thinking only to mobile phones and things like messages or face time.
And that's not all!
After a few weeks, perhaps by installing a version of Adobe Acrobat, I say maybe because I'm not sure, logic has stopped working properly. Again problems with the mouse pointer.
Luckily I had a back up! But now I'm terrified to install new programs. Thanks Apple!

What's the point in Game Center leaderboards if any one can submit a hacked score?

Just the question above, I really thought that a serious company as apple would have taken care of this issue...

This is a user-to-user technical support forum. You're not addressing Apple here. Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
There are lots of people who would answer that there is no point to Game Center at all. But that would just be an opinion.
