Clicking twice in the same window

Mac OS requires two clicks to make a selection when moving from one window/app to the next.
The first click activates the window, then the second click makes the selection.
If you have many windows open, and you want to click on a window/app behind one currently active, it takes two clicks.
Windows XP allows only one.
Can I tell Mac OS to activate and select with one mouse click?

Hi, Kyle.
You wrote: "Can I tell Mac OS to activate and select with one mouse click? "No. In other words, there is no preference to change this behavior.
In some cases, it depends on the window (Cocoa applications vs. Carbon) and the selection. For example:
• One can click the Play button in iTunes, if visible with iTunes as a background window, and iTunes will begin playing without giving iTunes focus, i.e. bringing it to the front. iTunes is a Cocoa-based application.
• You can close background windows in Cocoa applications by clicking the red close button in the upper-left corner, closing the background window without first giving it focus.
Good luck!

Does not do the sorting if I click twice to the same column.

Hello
I am new to winforms.
I have a listview. I want it to toggle the sorting of the records of the listview when the columns are clicked
Please guide me as to how to do the same.
The code that I have attached does not do the sorting if I click twice to the same column. I have to click a different column ten the previous column
The code is attached below
regards
Manoj Gokhale
private void SiteInChargeorSupervisor_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.listView1.ColumnClick += new ColumnClickEventHandler(listView1_ColumnClick);
private void listView1_ColumnClick(object sender, ColumnClickEventArgs e)
ListViewSorter Sorter = new ListViewSorter();
listView1.ListViewItemSorter = Sorter;
if (!(listView1.ListViewItemSorter is ListViewSorter))
return;
Sorter = (ListViewSorter)listView1.ListViewItemSorter;
if (Sorter.LastSort == e.Column)
if (listView1.Sorting == System.Windows.Forms.SortOrder.Ascending)
listView1.Sorting = System.Windows.Forms.SortOrder.Descending;
else
listView1.Sorting = System.Windows.Forms.SortOrder.Ascending;
else
listView1.Sorting = System.Windows.Forms.SortOrder.Descending;
Sorter.ByColumn = e.Column;
listView1.Sort();
public class ListViewSorter : System.Collections.IComparer
public int Compare(object o1, object o2)
if (!(o1 is ListViewItem))
return (0);
if (!(o2 is ListViewItem))
return (0);
ListViewItem lvi1 = (ListViewItem)o2;
string str1 = lvi1.SubItems[ByColumn].Text;
ListViewItem lvi2 = (ListViewItem)o1;
string str2 = lvi2.SubItems[ByColumn].Text;
int result;
if (lvi1.ListView.Sorting == System.Windows.Forms.SortOrder.Ascending)
result = String.Compare(str1, str2);
else
result = String.Compare(str2, str1);
LastSort = ByColumn;
return (result);
public int ByColumn
get { return Column; }
set { Column = value; }
int Column = 0;
public int LastSort
get { return LastColumn; }
set { LastColumn = value; }
int LastColumn = 0;

Every time through the ColumnClick event handler, you are creating a new sorter. This means that any values set in the sorter from the previous click are not saved.
Try this.
private void listView1_ColumnClick(object sender, ColumnClickEventArgs e)
// Only create a new sorter if we don't have one already.
if(listView1.ListViewItemSorter == null)
ListViewSorter Sorter = new ListViewSorter();
listView1.ListViewItemSorter = Sorter;
// And so on with the rest of your code.

Clicking (and selecting) the same JList item twice

I have a JList with items (Strings) which should be added to another String when selected (clicked on). My problem is that when a user clicks twice on the same item it should be added to the result String twice. But a ListSelectionListener acts only when the value has changed, so when an other item is selected.
Does anyone know a neat (as high level as possible) solution for this?
P.S.: How do you assign duke dollars to a topic? And how do you give someone who replies those?

Thanks. I also already thought of adding a MouseListener, but I kind of wanted to avoid it. But it seems that it is necessary if I want to keep the selection.
The solution I have now, by the way, is that I set the selectedIndex back to -1 in valueChanged, so there is never any item selected.

IDS10g and Oracle 9i Release 2 on the same windows XP or NT machineo

I want to use Oracle 9i Enterprise Ed.Release 9.2.0.1 as Database and iDS 10g to develop a Database application,the twice on the same Windows XP machine.I was confused when trying to install the Repository 9i for SCM 9.0.4.3.14c and when reading the System Requirements in the Oracle SCM Repository Installation Guide to understand that to develop on the same machine I could just use Database 9i Enterp.Ed Release 9.2.0.2 using just Windows NT.
Question:
-Is that true?
-Can I use the Oracle Database 9i Release 9.2.9.0.1 or 9.2.0.2 and iDS 10g on the same windows XP machine to develop my application and not Windows NT 4.0?
Thanks for reading and for your response!

Hello Sir Russel,
Thank you very much for your Response.I have to say to excuse me for the quality of my Englich because I speak German and french Language better.
I'm not using Oracle 10g because it was told me that iDS10g is not for the time supported by Oracle 10g.
So I'm using iDS10g and Oracle 9iRelease2.
I already knew the link you send for the Installation of the reposity and it is exactly there, where I have the problem with :[WINDOWS NT ONLY ]:In the System Requirements it is wrote:
The client workstation(iDS 10g) and the database server(Oracle 9i) can be on the same machine [WINDOWS NT ONLY ]:So can I use Windows XP professional like I want instead of Windows NT or should I use windows NT 4 because of installing Oracle 9i and iDS10g on the SAME MACHINE?
Thank you very much for responding.

I can't open a new tab up in the same window when I click the little + sign next to the first tab. How do I get that to work on FF4 for Windows Vista?

I have a Sony Vaio labtop with Windows Vista, just updated to the new Firefox and now when I go to add a tab in the same window, it won't allow a new one. I clicked the + button/tab thing a bunch of times and nothing happens. What can I do to fix this? I'm not very computer literate so step by step directions would help alot. Thanks for any help.

You're welcome

Hyperlink + ctrl click opens the page in new tab in my website. it should open it in the same window of my website

When i do a ctrl+hyperlink click in my website running in firefox, it opens up in a new tab, I dont want the ctrl+hyperlink click to open in new tab or new window. It should open in the same browser. (works as required in IE 7)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Ctrl+left click on a link or bookmark will open in a new tab. That is a standard Firefox keyboard shortcut. Middle-click will do the same (Middle-click = press the scroll wheel). On the following page, scroll down to "Web Navigation" or Find (Ctrl+F), enter "Ctrl+lef" (without quotation marks) in the Find box. Read the footnote 4 about how to change from background tab to foreground tab.
See: http://www.7is7.com/software/firefox/shortcuts.html
To open a link or bookmark in the currently active tab, simply click on the link or bookmark. Your current tab will be over-written with the new link or bookmark.
The following page shows the shortcuts for IE7. Click "Working with tabs". It shows Ctrl+click will "Open links in a new tab in the background" and on the next line, it shows CTRL+SHIFT+click will "Open links in a new tab in the foreground".
See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Internet-Explorer-keyboard-shortcuts#
Maybe you have installed something to change the shortcuts on your installation?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

Whenever I click the + Tab to open a new tab, it doesn't do anything. It seems like it has a safety lock on or something. It will not allow me to open up another tab in the same window.

I try to open up another webpage on the same window, by clicking on the + Tab Button next to the current webpage Im viewing. For some reason it will not do anything. It will not open up.

This problem has been associated with the Ask toolbar. You could try disabling it here:
Tools > Add-ons > Extensions

How to open other swf at the same window \ click to dissolve?

Hey guys,
I'm creating a simple flash feature with only three buttons, but I need your help:
First button - click and it opens our inventory flash flip book. the problem is, the flip book is already in flash, and I have no idea how to make it so when i'm clicking the button, it opens the flip book in the same window.
Second button - when you click it, it dissolves to a new window where you can see our contact information + 'back' button. how do I create this dissolve on demand and back?
I got the third button ok.
please help me with that,
thank you!

AS3 or AS2
Escencially you can create a container with a tween alpha animation controled by the second button. To load the swf you can externally load the file swf as an image
var myLoader : Loader = new Loader ( ) ;
myLoader . contentLoaderInfo . addEventListener ( ProgressEvent . PROGRESS , onProgressStatus ) ;
myLoader . contentLoaderInfo . addEventListener ( Event . COMPLETE , onLoaderReady ) ;
var fileRequest : URLRequest = new URLRequest ( "myImage.jpg" ) ;
myLoader . load ( fileRequest ) ;
public function onProgressStatus ( e : ProgressEvent ) {
// this is where progress will be monitored
trace ( e . bytesLoaded , e . bytesTotal ) ;
public function onLoaderReady ( e : Event ) {
// the image is now loaded, so let's add it to the display tree!
addChild ( myLoader ) ;

In Firefox 5, New Windows open in the same window even though the options are set to open in a new window.

I have the options set to open new windows in a new tab. However, they do not.
For example, as I click on the various options for support on Firefox.com, each opens in the same window. Similarly for Yahoo. If I bring up the news page and click on various links, they all open in the same window. How do you get them to open in new windows?

Pure speculation, but maybe that Identity Finder program is deleting your browsing history which is how Firefox restores tabs and windows from the previous session. Check with technical support for that program or look at the manual.

Open a URL link in the same window as SWF file in indesign CS5

Hello,
I am trying to create a SWF file using indesign CS5. I have created buttons and placed in URL links but they always open another window. I would like to know if there is a way to have the URL open in the same window that the SWF file has been created. I tried, putting "_self" to target it in the URL bar, but nothing works.
Thanks in advance
TK

Okay, I found the code but I can't get it to work locally. If you have a web server maybe you can upload the files (swf and html) after you Publish them:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://www.google.com");
testlink.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickText);
function clickText(myevent:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(myURL, "_self");
you have to have on the stage a link element called "testlink" (see the code above) which would be a Movie Clip with the label testlink. It can be anything from InDesign: a button, a rectangle, a circle, a graphic, you get the idea. Just select that object in Flash and label it testlink or anything you choose but if you change the name from testlink also change the name in the code snippet where the line "addEventListener" is.

Open a URL in the same window

Hi,
My objective is to open a URL when i click on a webdynpro iView in the same window.
I created a outbound plug in the InterfaceViewController.
And wrote this piece of code in wdDoBeforeNavigation() in Component controller.
wdThis.wdGetExternalComponentInterfaceViewController().wdFirePlugGoToUrl(Url);
Where "Url" is a string variable contaning the value.
But when i run this piece of sode it gives exception
"Exit-Plug must no be triggered with an URL when running in portal. Use portal navigation instead to navigate to another application!"
So what should i do solve this problem
Regards,
Paresh

HI,
Procudere to create the LogoffURL
In the Application properties add your URL name.
LogoffURL = http:
www.google.com
1.      Define an exit plug in the interface view of your Web Dynpro component:
                            a.      Enter a name and check the checkbox Exit Plug.
                            b.      Enter the name Url for the parameter and select string as the type.
This parameter is case-sensitive and must be entered exactly this way.
       2.      In your view, define the action Exit and add the event handler onActionExit().
       3.      In the view layout, define a button and bind its onAction event to the Exit action.
       4.      In your view, define the use of the interface view controller of your Web Dynpro component under Properties.
       5.      Insert the following code in this method of the implementation:
String logoffURL = wdComponentAPI.getApplication().getApplicationInfo().findInApplicationProperties("sap.logoffURL").getValue();
wdThis.wdGetTimeCompInterfaceViewController().wdFirePlugExit(logoffURL);
OR Do u need to generate the URL by using the application?
Thanks,
Lohi.

"Open each folder in the same window" not working

hey guys, just today, I noticed that whenever i double click a folder, it opens in a new window. I went to folder properties, and made sure I checked "Open each folder in the same window," and its checked. I tried switching it on, then off, then restoring all defaults in both those settings and the view settings, and I've tried restarting the computer, even using a system restore point. No Matter what, whenever I double click a window, it opens in a new window, but if I use the navigation pane, or if I highlight a window and click the open button at the top left, it opens in the same window. This is very very very annoying, because just navigating my harddrive, I might end up with 20 windows open to reach just 1 file.
Does anyone know what's wrong? or how I can fix this?

I was experiencing this same issue on my laptop and spent several frustrating hours of searching in vain for a solution. I tried most of the same fixes mentioned here with no success (re-registering DLL's, running the system file checker [sfc /scannow],
turning off the navigation pane, performing virus scans, etc). After almost giving up, I discovered that I only experienced this behavior when I accessed Explorer from the shortcut which was pinned to my taskbar. When I opened the "Computer" shortcut
on my desktop, I was able to open individual folders without having new windows open each time. I suspect that this is related to the new design/function of the taskbar in Windows 7. To get the results I wanted, I opted to revert to the "classic" style
taskbar seen in Windows Vista (AKA the "Quicklaunch" toolbar) by following the instructions here:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-7/add-the-quick-launch-bar-to-the-taskbar-in-windows-7/
Then, I simply added a new shortcut to "Computer" in the new Quicklaunch toolbar and, "Voila!" - problem solved. Oddly enough, I don't experience the same behavior on my desktop PC which is also running Windows 7. Ain't Microshaft grand?!? (a-hem)

Can I set Firefox to open a page link in the same window (not a new tab) so I can just go back to the page instead of having to close the window?

When I am on some pages, clicking on a article/picture link opens a new tab instead of continuing in the same window. By staying in the same window, I can back click on my mouse and continue on with other reading/links on the original page without manually having to move the mouse and click to close the tab. For example: on news pages, if I click on a financial article, a new tab opens with that linked article on the website's financial site. If I keep going back to the original page w/o closing tabs, I end up with too many tabs open.

yeah, instead of using multiple windows, you can use multiple tabs inside one window. That way, you can browse multiple websites at once without having to flick back and forth between multiple windows.
To open tabs of the websites you want to browse, just right-hand click on whatever website you want to visit (For example a site from your bookmarks or a site from a Google search result) and select 'open link in tab'.
