ComboBox Down Arrow Disappearing

Good Day
Experts:
I have a peculiar situation with a few of my ComboBoxes. When I switch to FIND mode, the odd behavior begins. A vertical line appears to the left of the down arrow essentially making the last part of the ComboBox a square around the arrow. Then after I make a selection from the list, the arrow disappears! If I click where the arrow should be I still get the list of items in the box.
This is not happening on some of my other screens. I cannot find any differeces.
Has anyone ever experienced this? If so, what do I have wrong?
Thanks,
EJD

Ed,
whenever i had display problems in user forms i tried to solve it with oForm.Refresh and/or oForm.Update
maybe it helps - at least you can try it
regards
David

Down arrow disappears on JComboBox

I have a problem, I�m trying to make a JComboBox in an interface, but when I add it to my JPanel the down arrow wont show:

Code looks like this, most of it is not important but the funny part is that when I add the JComboBox initiated in startsida() it works fine, but when I add the JComboBox initiated in skapaContainerWindow() it doe�snt work. It seems that ActionListener messes up something, because if I add the pnlContainerWindow in the constructor it works fine. Any ideas?

If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE) that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.

Down arrow in scroll bar disappears

I have a user using Acrobat Professional 8 on Windows XP Pro. When she opens a document in Acrobat she can scroll trought the document using the up and down arrows in the scroll bar. Then, at seemingly random times, the down arrow disappears and she has to restart Acrobat to get it back. Does anyone have any experience with or suggestions for fixing this problem?

Check the properties of the file, in the Initial View Tab > Hide Windows Controls is not checked. You should always be able to scroll with a scrolling mouse.

The down arrow of the msctls_updown32 control can fail to display under certain conditions using certain Windows Desktop themes

I have a very odd issue with the msctls_updow32 control. Depending on the type of window or window heirarchy, when I click the up arrow with the autobuddy being an edit control, the down arrow disappears off the down button. I have to move the mouse back
over the down button to get it to display. At first I figured it was something in my OnCtlColor code. But I found that the updown control is never passed to OnCtlColor. I get the window class of each input and it never shows up. Nor does it's window handle
get passed in. Turning off OnCtlColor code and going default doesn't help. What I have found that helps is to turn off WIndows 7 Aero desktop and turn on Windows Classic desktop (Windows 7 Basic has the issue too). I also found that applying a skin to my app
avoids the issue. Using spy I finally found what appears to be a connection to EM_SETSEL. When that message is sent and processed, the arrow has disappeared. I finally gave up and created my own subclass of a CEdit control (MFC) and called SubclassDlgItem.
Then I implemented WindowProc and trapped the EM_SETSEL. Then I had to call UpdateWindow on the spin control and finally get the rectangle of the edit (buddy) and spin control and use that in a call to the parent (dialog) window's RedrawWindow.
So there appears to be an issue with the updown control paired with an edit control that shows up depending on what desktop theme I am using. And to top it off, the window heirarchy seems to matter too (or perhaps the styles of the parent make a difference
as I found the issue doesn't show up on every window that may contain such a configuration). Consider this a heads up regarding the issue! One other note, changing to any of the "High contrast" Windows 7 desktops also avoids the issue. So Aero and
Basic seem to be the key.
R.D. Holland

Fails on Win 8.1 too. As with Win 7, changing the desktop display to one of the high contrast ones avoids the problem. My work-around is below. I have a video showing the problem. It also shows the display being changed to high contrast and how the problem
goes away. If only I could figure out how to use this web page to upload the zip file containing the video ...
LRESULT Myedit::WindowProc( UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam )
LRESULT lr = CEdit::WindowProc( message, wParam, lParam );
if( message == EM_SETSEL )
CDialog* pParent = (CDialog*) GetParent();
if( pParent )
CSpinButtonCtrl* pSpin = (CSpinButtonCtrl*)pParent->GetDlgItem(IDC_SMALL_PARTS_SPIN);
if (pSpin)
CRect rectSpin;
pSpin->GetWindowRect( &rectSpin );
CRect rectEdit;
GetWindowRect( &rectEdit );
CRect both;
both.UnionRect( &rectSpin, &rectEdit );
pParent->ScreenToClient( &both );
//pParent->InvalidateRect( &both );
//pParent->Invalidate();
//pSpin->Invalidate();
pSpin->UpdateWindow();// skip this and the problem remains.
pParent->RedrawWindow(&both);// skip this and the problem remains.
return lr;

In the top left on my screen where the back arrow is, there used to be a drop down arrow to skip back many pages. After installing 4.0.1, it has disappeared. How do I get it back?

In the top left on my screen where the back arrow button is to go back to previous webpages, there used to be a drop down arrow just to the right so I can see many of my previous web pages. Since installing Firefox 4.0.1, that arrow disappeared.

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

The tab list drop down arrow has disappeared and can't be restored through the customize dialog.

The dropdown arrow used to be there, as well as the tab scroll arrows when many tabs are open. But both suddenly disappeared. When I bring up the customize dialog, I can then see the drop down arrow in the tab bar, but if I click restore default set and close the customize dialog, there is still no dropdown arrow. If I open the customize dialog and drag the arrow into the dialog, it shows up there. But if I try to drag it back to the tab bar and then click Done, it still does not appear.

You will only see the "List All Tabs" button in Firefox 12+ if there are that many tabs open that you get the Tab bar scroll buttons appearing.

Alternatively you can add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.

The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

Down arrow in scrolling bar has disappeared

On most screens the down arrow in the scrolling bar has disappeared or occupies the same space as the page expansion square in the lower right hand corner. Tried having the up arrow both at the top and at the bottom of the scrolling bar. Diappearance occurs on all screens originating from Firefox. It is available on this screen and most linked pages from Firefox.

Check the properties of the file, in the Initial View Tab > Hide Windows Controls is not checked. You should always be able to scroll with a scrolling mouse.

The up down arrow box on side of e-mail has disappeared

on my e-mail pages the blow up down arrow box on the side has disappeared making it impossible to scroll through mail

hmmm ok so Firefox Crashed and it hasn't worked properly with your email since
I wander if it is corruption in your existing profile ?
here is a link here on how to setup a second profile, you could do this to test if the old one is causing the trouble. it's for setting up profiles on Windows, I'm not sure what OS you are using.

Hi Nagarajan,
according to the Note (2037350 - When you run a query in the Query Generator, you find that the link arrow in the Document Number (DocNum) column is missing.) that I mentioned in my earlier Reply, SAP states that this behaviour is an application error and is fixed with 9.0 PL14.
Now, I have not had any time to verify that myself. Also, I don't know which 9.1 PL Alicia is using (if in her PL the 9.0 PL14 fixes are included) but based on the details from the Note, it should be no problem for Alicia to test and verify it. Using the DocEntry was also mentioned as a workaround in the Note, so again Alicia must know about it by now.
Kind regards,
Sonja

The up and down arrows for the Finder columns are difficult to bring into view - any way to make them easier or permanent?

Hi -
My husband works with multi-level folders, each with way more content than will fit on the screen. He says that he can't get the up and down arrows to show up when he is looking for a file in Finder, or wanting to move or copy files to another folder several layers up. They will apparently show up at times, but if he isn't fast enough, they disappear before he can get his mouse over to them. He cannot use a Magic Mouse or a touchpad, which would solve the problem with finger gestures. He thinks this happened when I put Lion on our computers several months ago. My own files are not so extensive, and I can use a Magic Mouse, so I haven't noticed any problem.
Was there a change in Lion - assuming that finger gestures would replace the up and down arrows onscreen? Is there a workaround to get this functionality back?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Canon cameras don't play will with other FireWire devices on the same bus. You could try disconnecting the WD drive and connecting the camera directly to the computer without and capturing to the internal drive. It should be fast enough for DV.
One probably is that your version of FCE is not supported on the version of the OS you are running. The last version I think that works with that software is 10.4.10 or earlier.

Where have my up and down arrows gone?

Upgraded my MacBook to Firefox 26.0 and scrolling up and down arrows on the right side have disappeared. If I just use my touch pad it skips around and is very frustrating. I want my arrows back! Can't find anything in preferences to change. Mac is running 10.9.1
Please help?

On Mac the scroll bars can be hidden and only have them show when you scroll the page so you can see the current scroll position.
The idea is that a touch pad is used that doesn't require the scroll bars to be visible and thus have more screen estate for the browsing area.
You can make the scroll bars always visible:
System Preferences > General > Show Scroll Bar > Choose "Always"

What is this Box sliding up from bottom right of screen, then sliding back, contains a 1, A and down arrow?

this box contains three squares, one contain a 1, the second the letter A and the third a down arrow. it appears and disappears quite quickly.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

What is the box with the down arrow in email.

What is the box with the down arrow in the email. it is at the top near the reply arrow.

OKAY....are you guys ready for the answer to this question: "What is the box with down arrow in it in my iPad email?".
This drove me nuts but I stuck with until I figured it out.
When you open a message in iPad, sometimes you'll see a box with a down arrow. Touch it...and your email disappears!!!
Where does it go?
Lay down your iPad and go to your computer...you CANNOT access the Archive folder from your iPad!
1) Go check your gmail account from your computer. When you click on a message, look in the top row of 'choices' in what to do with that emai: back to inbox, ARCHIVE(a box with a down arrow), report spam, delete, move to, labels, and more are your choices.
2) now look in the left hand column and you'll see: Inbox, starred, Important, Sent Mail, Drafts, Notes, Personal, Travel...now mouse over Travel (or whatever your last item is in the column) and "More" will appear.
3) Click on 'More' and "All Mail" will appear.
4) Click on "All Mail" and voila!!! All of those messages that have been disappearing from your iPad are found there.
5) NOW FINALLY, you can click on each message in the "All Mail" folder and you have the option to move them to any folder you wish.
6) UNDERSTAND THIS: You CANNOT access the 'All Mail' folder from your iPad...you MUST use your computer.
Hope that helps all of you who were as frustrated as me.
Ya think Apple would write something about this somewhere!!
