Changing window properties
I want to specify properties of my help system's browser
window. Under the Single Source Layouts node and WebHelp
Properties, the dialog does not offer the choices I need.
Robohelp's help mentions "editing a layout" but I see few choices
that affect the actual layout (in the sense of dimensions, etc).
Under the Windows node, the Properties of NewWindow include
some things I need but this does not seem to affect WebHelp. The
properties under Skins also lack the choices I need.
If I can find how to make the settings, I may still have
questions: can I set a window size in pixels, or only in percent of
the whole screen? And is there a way to set the width of the TOC
pane?
The window size for webhelp cannot be determined by you from
RoboHelp. Only your developers can define that through the call. I
suspect that is covered in RoboWizard's Tips and Tricks file.
Download that from
http://www.robowizard.com.
The TOC width is covered either there on his Skinny on Skins.
Post back if you can't locate it.

Unable to change window properties after upgrading project from X5 to RH8
Hi,
I just upgraded an existing project from X5 to RH8. In Windows Properties (HTML Help), if I make any changes and click OK, I receive the following message:
"For Width field please enter a value between 65 and 24."
If I do enter a value within those parameters in any of the "Width" options on the Properties page, I'm still presented with the same error message.
How can this be corrected?
Thanks!Hi there
Perhaps try creating a totally new window definition and configuring the parameters as desired.
Once in a blue moon we see that the window definition somehow becomes corrupt.
Cheers... Rick

Hello, dear Colleagues.
User with administrators rights cannot change printer properties on "Advanced" tab from "Devices and Printers" on Windows Server 2012 R2.
If to launch "Devices and Printers" on server, all printer properties on "Advanced" tab are inactive (see screen below).
But I can change it manually with "Print Management". Features become active.
The main purpose - to uncheck "Enable advanced printing features" with powershell
scripts.
$erroractionpreference = "continue"
$colPrinters = Get-Wmiobject -Class win32_printer -computername print_server -Filter "Name like 'printer1' or Name like 'printer2' or Name like 'printer3' or Name like 'printer4' or Name like 'printer5' or Name like 'printer6'" # get printers on server and filter with names
ForEach ($objPrinter in $colPrinters) { # get printer details from WMI
If ($objPrinter.RawOnly -ne "True") { # check that Advanced printing fetaures is turned on
Write-host $objPrinter.Name
Write-Host $objPrinter.RawOnly
$objPrinter.RawOnly = "True" # Untick and update the object in WMI
$objPrinter.Put()
It works on Windows 7 workstation, but does not on print server Windows Server 2012 R2 with error
Exception calling "Put" with "0" argument(s): "Generic failure "
At \\print_server\c$\DisableAdvancedPrintingFeatures.ps1:8 char:17
+ $objPrinter.Put()
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException
Can you help me with that? Look like somethings with rights.
Thank you.Hello, Alan
Morris.
Thanks for your reply.
I've tried to runs PS Script both locally and remotely, previously running Powershell ISE as Administrator.
I've noticed interesting thing - if to
check "Enable advanced printing features"
manually thru Print Management snap-in, script works fine. But, time to time after some manipulations on print server, this advanced feature returns to enabled state automatically by system, I think. In this case PS Script does not work. Next, if to disable
feature manually again (thru Print Management snap-in),
and enable manually again, PS Script will work. Very strange situation.
Thanks. -
My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties
My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties.
First off, I'm using Windows XP (and Mac SnowLeopard) Here's how it started. For some reason my ipod started showing up as a camera when I plugged it in. It works fine in itunes, though. But when I tried to access it from "my computer" it only
showed me the one and only picture I had on my ipod. I deleted that picture hoping it would no longer show up as a camera. When it still did I right-clicked on it in "my computer" and selected "properties". Under "autoplay" I
chose for it to 'not show up' or 'take no action' or some such deal when I plugged it in. I thought that would stop it from popping up the window that asks whether i want to 'open camera wizard' or 'open camera scanning' or 'open folder to view files' or 'take
no action' , etc. But now it won't show up in "my computer" at all. I also have a Mac with SnowLeopard. When I plugged my ipod into it my ipod doesn't show up in "finder" either! So basically my problem is not a mechanical one with hardware
or software; yht ipod still works fine in itunes. I just need to undo the change I made. I've searched all around my preferences, utilities, options, etc. It shows up on my "Device Manager" but not on "Disk Management".
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.Hi,
To show up in Windows Explorer, you can try placing the iPod into
disk mode.
Moreover, i recommend you to
restore ipod to factory settings.
If this issue still persists, locate to device manager, uninstall and reinstall USB Mass Storage Device driver.
Here is an article you can refer to below:

How to change shape properties after having created one?
Photoshop CC 2014 -- latest update as of October 06, 2014
Windows 7
How can I change a shapes properties after having created one.
I have created a simple ellipse.
When I drew the ellipse with the tool, I had the option for the fill color/style and stroke, etc.
After I have created said ellipse, I wish to change its properties.
I can use the Paint Bucket, gradient tool, etc for the fill, but is there way to get back to the original set of tools with which I created the ellipse in the first place?
If I use Edit > Stroke... it adds a new stroke around the existing shape.
If I use Edit > Fill... the entire layer is filled.
There must surely be a way to reenter the tool set to edit an existing shape. No?
Thanks,Hi everyone,
Thanks for the helpful tips, advice, etc.
I didn't explain myself very well--I apologize.
However, with your tips I figured it out:
When I create a rectangle or ellipse, I can later click on its layer and the Properties window appears with options to change their "Live Shape Properties."
However, not so with the Polygon and Shape tools. With them, the Properties window shows only the Masks, but the Toolbar still shows some basic properties I can change.
I was stymied by the above differences while working only on a Shape.
I've attached two JPEG screenshots.
I didn't need to change the actual shape, just the fill/stroke, etc.
Later, I may wish to change the actual shape, but that appears to be done by simply creating something new.
Thanks much!! -
I just bought and downloaded 5 Pixar short subject movies.
I have a 3 year old grandson that I've set up a Mac for.
I've put his favorite movies and trailers on the desktop with large icons and slow double click. I set each movie to open in full screen and close when finished because he can't click on the red close button.
The Pixar movies downloaded into iTunes, so it would be difficult for him to find them to play.
I opened the mp4 in Quicktime and saved as self-contained movie, thinking this would do it. I put the movie on the desktop and opened it to get movie properties. I could not change them, so I can't set to go full screen or to close the movie when done. ???
Is there no way to do this? "Protected" is one thing... but not being able to change the properties seems ridiculous.
RMBetter to use "reference" instead of "self contained" to save on HD space.
Then unplug the mouse and teach the 3 year old the keyboard.
The "Tab" key will highlight a file and a new tap on it will move the focus to a new item.
Command key and the letter o key will launch QuickTime Player.
Command key and the letter f will send the file to Full Screen (requires Pro).
The Spacebar will start and stop playback. Up/down arrow keys will adjust volume.
Command key and the letter w key will close the window. Escape key will send it out of full screen but leave the window open.
Command key and the Tab key will allow switching between the Finder and QuickTime (focus changes each time the Tab key is clicked) and releasing the Command key will make that app the "front". -
When I attempt to change Printer Properties in Word 2010, they simply revert back to the default setting. I am unable to use the Printer Properties within the Word 2010. If the default is grayscale, that is all the printer will print unless I change the default setup in the Control Panel. It appears to be an incompatibility with Office 2010 software as other programs allow the change of Printer properties.
I have the exact identical problem. Brand new printer (HP PhotoSmart C4780) on a brand new PC (Windows 7). I cannot access the printer properties dialog box when the PDF file has been opened in an embedded Adobe Viewer window in Internet Explorer.
When I select [Print] from Word or Adobe Viewer, or anywhere else, I can then press the [Properties] button and it opens the printer properties just fine.
But if I open a PDF document through Internet Explorer, clicking on that [Properties] button doesn't do anything. No error or anything. If I press the [Save] in the Adobe Acrobet-embedded Internet Explorer window, it too does nothing. This leads me to think it is an Adobe Acrobat issue. However, I have found nothing in their support forums on this topic.
Does anyone out there have any ideas?

Changing a .properties file from within a programme
Hi, I was just wondering is there anyway that i can change a .properties file from within a programme?
I have certain values in the .properties file and I want to add a username and password to the file once it has been entered in a login part of the programme.
I have had a look at the docs and can not seem to find any suitable methods.
Cheers Gareth.store is a good method.
In practical use, sometimes you have a .properties file full of comments (properties files are to be modified by humans, and humans need comments), but they are not retrieved by "load" so they will not be stored back by "store". It's a pity that it happens (the equivalent Windows API, WritePrivateProfileString, has a better behaviour).
Maybe someone has written a method that can modify a properties file, without changing the order of the pairs name=value and without throwing out comments. -
How to dynamically changes items properties
How to dynamically changes items properties likes position order in tabular view, width, prompt
Many object properties can be set programmatically at runtime. For example, each window object has a Visible property that can be set to either Yes or No to show and hide the window. At runtime, you can call the built-in procedure SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY to show or hide the window dynamically, as shown here:
Set_Window_Property('my_window',VISIBLE, PROPERTY_ON);
The following built-in procedures are available for setting object properties at runtime:
- SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY
- SET_CANVAS_PROPERTY
- SET_FORM_PROPERTY
- SET_ITEM_PROPERTY
- SET_LOV_PROPERTY
- SET_MENU_ITEM_PROPERTY
- SET_PARAMETER_ATTR
- SET_RADIO_BUTTON_PROPERTY
- SET_RECORD_PROPERTY
- SET_RELATION_PROPERTY
- SET_VIEW_PROPERTY
- SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY
The built-in procedure SET_ITEM_PROPERTY can be used to set the properties of any type of item, including buttons, text items, check boxes, radio groups, etc.
Note: Radio group items include individual radio buttons; use SET_ITEM_PROPERTY to set the properties of the radio group, and SET_RADIO_BUTTON_PROPERTY to set the properties of the individual buttons in the group.
Each built-in SET procedure has a corresponding GET function that allows you to programmatically determine the current setting of an object's properties. The following example uses GET_WINDOW_PROPERTY to determine if a window is currently hidden (VISIBLE = FALSE). If the window is hidden, SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY is called to show the window.
If Get_Window_Property('my_window',VISIBLE) = 'FALSE' THEN
Set_Window_Property('my_window',VISIBLE,PROPERTY_ON);
To determine if a particular property can be set programmatically, refer to the property descriptions in online Help. -
Command to Open "Computer Name/Domain Changes" window
Running the commands SystemPropertiesComputerName or "sysdm.cpl" in command line will open the System Properties window. I still have to click on the "Change" button to
get to the Computer Name/Domain Changes window. Is there a command to get to the
Computer Name/Domain Changes window directly? I have been searching the internet for several days. I've also tried using SendKeys (batch file, VBScript, and in PowerShell) and to send two TABS
and an ENTER key but I can't get it to work. The command doesn't seem to work on the
System Properties window.

Change Windows Title in run-time
I can change windows title in File-->VI Properties--< Windows Title.
I wish You write in a string box change the windows title. How can i made it?
Thanks.GerdW,
If you open a reference, and then, in a loop, change the title, there is no
problem.
But if you open a reference and change the title in a loop, you get problems
when you don't close the reference. This does not happen when you don't use
the Open VI Reference.
The attached VI will hopefully clear things up...
Regards,
Wiebe.

I tried to customize PC settings for my mom, whose site is failing. So I plugged in the nosquint Firefox addon and upped the font size. Additionally, I tried to make desktop text etc. (non-browser text) larger. When I accomplished this through the Windows DPI adjustment, the browser would not open to full screen width (at least, not through any means other than F11, which is something beyond my mother's understanding or patience). With DPI 120, the maximized browser will not go full screen, but will instead hold left of screen, and display less than the full width of the page being viewed (this make my mom give up. And who wants to scroll laterally anyways?). Is there some way to pair the functionality of Windows DPI boosts with Firefox text/window zoom? Thanks.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I changed Windows DPI to >196See [[Toolbars and page content appear too large after upgrading to Firefox 3]]
Try to adjust the DPI setting, see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/layout.css.dpi layout.css.dpi]
Try to set the pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 2 on the about:config page.
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.

"Click To Change All Properties" Not Working In Dreamweaver CC For Padding/Margins
Every time I try to use the "Click To Change All Properties" option in Dreamweaver CC (the chain link icon in the middle of the Magin/Padding box), it never seems to work. Nor does it use the CSS shorthand, it lists the top, bottom, left and right margins/padding separately no matter if I have the chain link icon connected or broken. If I have it set to link all four sides, then enter a value into the top, nothing happens to the other sides. It's not until I enter a value in to the bottom that it auto fills in the other two sides. Anyone else having this issue?
Thank you for your help. I think I figured out what I might have been doing wrong when setting the margins. I would first clickt the chain icon to join everything, then enter in a value in the Top box, but I wouldn't see the other boxes update with that same value, so I would immediately click the Bottom value box. Instead, if I just click on the inner white box, just outside of the perimeter of the chain icon, it updates all of the remaining values.
The shorthand setting worked as well for the Padding/Margins. Thank you!
