Changing the cursor position

Is it possible to change the cursor position automatically when changing the language?
For example: when changing from English to Hebrew the cursor will move from the right end to the left?
Thanks,
Amnon

I don't think this is possible in general, although some individual apps might do it.  Normally you use a direction control from an app menu or at the system level.

  • Changing the cursor position in an input text field and Removing leading numeric zeros

    Flash8 - AS2
    It's good to be back after all these years and thanks for the faithfull folks like kglad, Ned Murphy, Rothrock and all the others who give so much of themselves to make this forum a success!
    My Problem:
    I have an input text field that is named in the properties box as 'numberOfKids'.
    When the program is executed, and a delete or backspace is pressed the input textfield goes blank
    and any calculations that use 'numberOfKids' shows NaN.
    I have trapped the NaN and undefined so that a numeric 0 shows up instead of a blank.
    There are two problems:
    First problem:
      The cursor is to the left of the zero, so the first number inputted by the user is 10x larger than what they want.  0 becomes 10.
    Question:  How do I get the cursor to move to the right of the 0?
    Second Problem: 
      When I manually move the cursor to the right of the 0 and input a number, say 4, it shows up as 04.
    Question 2:  How do I delete the leading numeric zero in the input textfield?
    Thanks for the help.
    Here's the code I am using:
    calculateChildWeight = function () {
    if (isNaN(numberOfKids)) {
      numberOfKids = 0;
    if ((numberOfKids) == undefined) {
      numberOfKids = 0;
    if (numberOfKids>=0 && numberOfKids<=137) {
      numberOfKids = numberOfKids;
    } else {
      numberOfKids = 0;
    if (isNaN(adjustedChildWeight)) {
      adjustedChildWeight = 0;
    if ((adjustedChildWeight)=undefined) {
      adjustedChildWeight = 0;
    adjustedChildWeight = Number(numberOfKids*(-100));
    //numberOfKids.setSelection(numberOfKids.length, numberOfKids.length);
    //if (numberOfKids.length=2 && numberOfKids<10) {
      // remove the first character or leading zero
    //  numberOfKids = numberOfKids;

    Thanks Rothrock for being so  patient.
    I'm lost!
    I go back to a brand new flash file to try and implement the textfields as a stand alone test document.  I have lost the concept I think.
    I created on the stage of a blank .fla file  4 text fields, 2 input and 2 dynamic.  I gave them an instance name in the properties box.  I use this instance name.text to find the value of the field.  I use the parseInt to put that value into a numeric variable for calculation.  The results are put to the appropriate textfield.
    All seems to work except one of my input text fields.   I use the value of this field  to calculate:
    revisedValue = parseInt(numberOfKids.text);
    revisedValue = revisedValue*(-100);
    The problem now is that if the numberic '2' is inputted into numberOfKids, numberOfKids.text shows up as 200 and a trace shows up as '2NaN'.
    Flash is logical and consistant, I must conform to it but I'm in the dark.
    (( Concerning the forum:  If I click on helpful, which your posts have been in directing me, does that blank out the possibility of selecting the correct answer in the future???))

  • Controling the cursor position

    Hi all,
    I have two x, and y signal outputs from a dll module and I plan to use them to control the cursor position. One problem I'm facing is that my signals are variable enough to cause the cursor to vibrate in stationary setting. So, I use hysterysis (putting threshold) to eliminate these fluctuations but the drawback is that keeping the treshold high enough to eliminate the fluctuations keeps me from getting a nice, smooth movement when the speed of movement (rate of x and y changing) is low. Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated.
    p.s. I am using "SetCursorPos".dll as you might have already guessed.
    Thank you,
    Elnaz

    The formula for an exponential filter of degree D is the following:
    New Average = (New Value + (D-1)*Old Average)/D
    I usually add a special case for startup so that D is never greater than the number of points. 
    As I said, it is a low-pass filter, much like using a running average.  I usually like it because the state is simply a single value (Old Average) instead of the array of values you have to keep around to do a running average.
    As to the new question of separating high-frequency noise from your high-frequency signal, that is a bit more complicated (obviously).  You should take a power spectrum of the noise to see if there is a characteristic feature you can use (cutoff frequency, strong peaks).

  • Why does dragging on a Touch Screen change the cursor into a Hand Tool?

    Why does dragging on a Touch Screen change the cursor into a Hand Tool? This did not happen in CS 5.5 and I could edit on my touch screen monitor. With Photoshop CS 6, as soon as I start to drag, the cursor changes to a hand cursor. I have look at all of the system options and nothing seems to affect it so I have to assume it is something wrong with Photoshop CS 6.

    Try staying with it for a while.  It is much nicer panning that way.  Give it a flick, and touch the screen again when in the right position. 
    I think it came in with CS4 BTW, but it makes a lot of sense keeping it on the Touch version.

  • How do i change the cursor on a jtable header when clicked for sorting?

    here is my question, how do i change the cursor on a jtable header when I click the header for sorting?
    I think it is suppose to be in the fragment of code where the header listener is implemented for sorting, but I'm not quite sure what is the exact component that holds everything so that i can change the cursor...
    below is what I've tried, but it doesn't seem to work... thank you
    public void addMouseListenerToHeaderInTable(JTable table) {
    final TableSorter sorter = this;
    final JTable tableView = table;
    tableView.setColumnSelectionAllowed(false);
    MouseAdapter listMouseListener = new
    MouseAdapter() {
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
    TableColumnModel columnModel =
    tableView.getColumnModel();
    int viewColumn =
    columnModel.getColumnIndexAtX(e.getX());
    int column =
    tableView.convertColumnIndexToModel
    (viewColumn);
    System.out.println("column = "+column);
    if (e.getClickCount() == 1 && column != -1) {
    System.out.println("Sorting ...");
    Cursor oldCursor =
    tableView.getRootPane().getCursor();
    System.out.println("oldCursor.getType()
    = "+oldCursor.getType());
    if (oldCursor.getType() !=
    Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR){
    JComponent parentPane =
    tableView.getRootPane();
    parentPane.getContentPane().setCursor
    (new Cursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
    parentPane.setCursor(new Cursor
    (Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
    Cursor newCursor =
    parentPane.getCursor();
    System.out.println("newCursor.getType
    () = "+newCursor.getType());
    int shiftPressed = e.getModifiers(
    &InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK;
    boolean ascending = (shiftPressed == 0);
    //System.out.println("tableView.getRootPane()

    (Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
    //System.out.println("Done sorting");
    JTableHeader th = tableView.getTableHeader();

    Hi,
    Try setting the cursor for the table header.
    table.getHeader().setCursor(Wait_Cursor);

    Hi Experts,
        Iam trying to change the column position and width for the standard transaction (eg. FB60 or VA02) using the transaction code SHD0 (Transaction and Screen Variant).

        b. Auto Column Width
         I tried checking and unchecking both the check boxes but iam unable to modify / maintain the column position and width.
         Please guide me in changing the column position and width.

  • Changing the cursor to the hourglass. Any ideas?

    I posted this in the Actionscript 3 Forum so I'm sorry about
    the double post.
    I've got a frame in my Flash AIR app that loads some data and
    I'd like to change the cursor to the hourglass in Windows (watch on
    the Mac) while the data loads. Anyone have any ideas? It seems like
    it should be simple, but I just can't seem to find a solution for
    it.

    Yeah, you can't do that. This is a top request of mine, glad
    to see I'm not alone. File an Enhancement Request -- see me
    signature.
    The workaround is to attach a custom graphic within Flash (or
    your HTML app) to the mouse location. The limitation of course is
    that this isn't system level, so you need to rely on custom
    graphics, and the graphic obviously won't be able to go outside the
    Flash/app frame. You can hide the mouse, thus effectively replacing
    the mouse cursor with your custom graphic, but I'd do that with
    caution: poor app performance or hangs will make the user think
    their mouse is hanging, which is a really bad feeling, and there
    are some other situations that can get hairy (mouse stays hidden
    outside of the app frame, sometimes, so cursor has completely
    disappeared!) For an hourglass or similar it makes sense to just
    attach right beside the cursor.
    Marco, the stopwatch you've seen is probably the one used in
    the Flex framework. It uses the custom attached graphic
    workaround.

  • Is there a way to change the cursor hotspot systemwide on Mountain Lion?

    Hello community.
    Is there a way to change the cursor hotspot on Mountain Lion, systemwide?
    Like editing the original cursor file (or downloading one) and replacing the original one?
    Reason: when I enlarge the arrow, the "absoulute" tip (top of the white outline) gets distant from the internal tip (top of the black core), so sometimes the white outline needs to stick out if I want to click the approprate area - because the hotspot is on the internal tip. To me it's counter-intuitive. I would prefer to have the hotspot on the absolute edge of the cursor (tip of the white outline). This is not debatable - this is my private preference, and I've read today that it's not only mine - there is a number of users who want the same.
    I know it's always been like this on Macs, so please avoid questions like "why to you want that", answers like "get used to it" or any kind of hostility, for these are useless. The quiestion is how can I change it, if possible.
    Thanx guys!

    I don't know how you get to the System folder in Mavericks; and even if I found the folder with the alternative cursors in it, I would have no way of switching to any of them.  The designers have obviously not anticipated that anyone would wish to do this.
    The System Preferences has an adjustment under Accessibilty which allows the user to change the size of the cursor, but nothing else.
    So I guess that there is no way to make the change without actually re-engineering the System somehow.
    If someone can find a way, I will be most pleased to be enlightened; only please make the directions explicit.

  • Linking to Images and Changing the Cursor in Dreamweaver CS4

    Suppose I have a link to a jpg that opens up in a new window. Right now, when I hover my mouse over the link, there is no difference in the cursor as it would appear elsewhere on the page (that is, it still appears as a white arrow, instead of a white pointing hand). What do I need to do to change the cursor when it hovers over the link? The link itself works no problem, and linking to other pages on my site produces the pointing hand cursor when I hover it over the link.

    Hi,
    as far as I know, this is not possible. On teh Web chances would be to write a PJC that changes the cursor, but this too is more a work around than a feature.
