Control-f3 : expose vs move focus to dock

With the new(ish) keyboard layout control-f2 is expose show app windows. It used to be move focus to dock. How is move focus to dock handled now?

I assume you mean Ctrl+F3?
Use FnCtrlF3
You can also go to System Preferences, Keyboard and select the Keyboard tab.
And then check Use all F1, F2, etc. keys ... to get the old behaviour back.
To access the new functions of the function keys use Fn_Function key.

RH8 WebHelp "Can't Move Focus to the Control..." Error

While testing my help (primary layout is WebHelp) on my local
machine, the help books/topics freeze after a series of clicking
them open and closed. I'm not doing this rapidly or in a manner
unlike a regular user would. IE 6 gives me a page error. The
description reads "can't move focus to the control b/c it is
invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the
focus." The URL points to the whtdhtml.htm file.
I've searched the forum and when this problem came up before,
an answer was in a tech note. I read the TechNote rb_95432 on this
issue and it suggested editing the webhelp4.js file; however, I
don't think this file is generated by RoboHelp 8, as it doesn't
appear in my generated help files.
Is there a different file I should be looking at? Is this a
problem with my HTML that I should seek or an Adobe compilation
issue with IE 6? I recently upgraded my help project from RoboHelp
6 to RoboHelp 8 and am on a Windows XP machine.

JavaScript Error : Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible,

I have one JSP page in my project where i am putting all input to save personal details of a person.
This personal details header contains button(to collapse or expand).
I input all details and save. It works fine but when i collapse the header and name, age etc are not visible.
Only Save and cancel button is visible. so i click on save and following javascript error show up :
Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus.
In case of expand mode,If there is any error while providing input in text boxes , i have given pop up to display that like " Name field is mandatory " and control focus to that field again. it works fine.
In case of collapse, as fields are not visible and if i directly click on save button. Pop up is displayed as usual "Name field is mandatory" but it pop up again javascript error
"Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus."
Please let me know how to reolve this?

1) there is a JSP forum
2) that still doesn't make it a forum to ask javascript questions
Please let me know how to reolve this?Who says that you can resolve it? If it isn't allowed, don't try it. Likely you'll have to rethink the design of your page.

Control-F2 "Move Focus to Menu Bar" only works occasionally

I don't want to use my trackpad too much due to a strain injury, hence I use the Control F2 "Move Focus to Menu Bar" a lot.
However this feature only works occasionally, it can work for hours and then suddenly stop working, sometimes I can fix in the Keyboard Shortcuts pref pane by unchecking and checking the "Move Focus to Menu Bar" checkbox, at other times it takes a restart of the system.
I've been a big Apple fan-boy since OS 9, and I always marvel at the cool features in OSX, this is the first time I have a Windows-esque experience with the OSX UI
I've also posted the above on the Apple Stackexchange, but nobody knows how to fix this.

I too prefer to use the keyboard over mouse/trackpad. Being a switcher from Windows the default keyboard shortcut to "Move focus to the menu bar" of ^F2 (ctrl+F2) was just too awkward a combination for me, and so I redefined the shortcut to be ⌘-space (cmd+space) which is much closer to what I'd been used to in Windows (Alt+space).
This has worked most of the time, from OSX 10.3 in 2004 right up to this weekend in 2011, using 10.6 whereas it now fails most of the time.
What has happened to cause this turnaround? In trying to discover what I'd done "wrong", I noticed that for the first time this weekend I'd run Voice Over (the OS X app). And probably by no coincidence, now, I can only successfully execute my keyboard shortcut to "Move focus to the menu bar" during the introductory announcement of Voice Over: "Welcome to Voice Over. Voice Over speaks descriptions of items on the screen and can be used to control the computer using only your keyboard. If you already know how to use Voice Over press the V key now. If you want to learn how to use Voice Over press the space key now". Hence, I have about twenty seconds of available time to use my ⌘-space (cmd+space) shortcut.
I can achieve a working shortcut by reverting away from my ⌘-space (cmd+space) shortcut, and restoring the default ^F2 (ctrl+F2), or some other different shortcut such as ⌘-, (cmd+comma).
So, I wonder, if my experience adds anything to the [already slightly stale] discussion?

RH8 for Word 2003. Runtime Error 5152: Cant move focus to control

Hi, I am trying to open a word file from the RoboHelp source files and am getting the following error:
Runtime Error '5152': Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus.
I am using Word 2003 and RoboHelp 8. I didnt not change anything in the code, its a RoboHelp provided code. RH was installed with my netword id and with admin rights. When I click debug, it highlights the following piece of code.
Private Function IsRoboHookLoaded() As Boolean
    IsRoboHookLoaded = False
    ' No addins, not loaded
    If (AddIns.Count = 0) Then
        GoTo IsRoboHookLoadedExit
    End If
    For i = 1 To AddIns.Count
        AddInName$ = LCase$(AddIns.Item(i).Name)
        If (AddInName$ = "robohook.wll") Then
            If (AddIns.Item(i).Installed = True) Then
                IsRoboHookLoaded = True
                Exit For
            End If
        End If
    Next
IsRoboHookLoadedExit:
End Function
Also, when I click end and try to close the Document, I get another error:
Runtime Error '5152': Method 'Name' of Object 'AddIN' failed.
It again highlights the same piece of code on debug.
Can you please suggest why this might be so?
Thanks in advance.

The formatting is lost if the robohelp.dot template is not present in the same folder as the word document I am trying to open (and edit). The template is still present under application data\templates. Below are your answers:
So if you have the robohelp.dot in the application data\templates folder and open the project and the doc, the fomatting is gone in the doc and it is is plain text, correct? - Yes
Are any styles attached to the text at all? - Yes
For instance if you highlight what was a heading 1, is it still heading 1? - Yes - It still shows as heading 1, but not as big and coloured as the headings in documents with robohelp.dot
if you create a new help project, do you run into the same problem? - Yes
I tried copying the styles from robohelp.dot to my document, but still it doesn't reflect the changes.
I want to be able to open the document (with the robohelp template and its styles attached to it) and edit it, without changing any styles/formatting.
I am not an expert on this but my feeling is it has something deeper to do with other than just the location of the template or the styles. There should be a reason for the runtime error 5152: "Can't move focus to control....".

"Can't move focus" message

I'm attempting CSH WebHelp from IE7 and getting the following
error message:
"Can’t move focus to the control because it is
invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the
focus."
The mesage goes on to refer to whtdhtml.htm.
Any suggestions?

Perhaps worth adding that it works OK in Firefox.

"Move focus to next window" shortcut in full screen mode

Does anyone know how to use the "Move focus to next window" sortcut when in "full screen" mode?
When using a smaller screen (Macbook Air) full screen mode is a nice idea but I keep turning it off becauase the normal shortcut doesn't work.
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Cheers

I can't duplicate your problem with my setup. Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and see if that will help. Often a damaged or corrupted pref file will cause some very unusual performance issues with iPhoto.
Also you can try rebuilding the library while selecting just the option to rebuild the database.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Setting parental controls in an iTunes movie?

I know you can set parental controls in the iTunes program generally, but is there a way to tweak an indivusal movie parental controls? Or add parental controls to a single movie or TV show, or music song? I could not find this option when displaying a movies "info". I'd think iTunes would add a parental control settings the user can modify..?

Try going here and emailing the store about the issue

Move focus between elements of browser page doesn't work with JVM 1.6.x

Hi,
why JVM 1.6 doesn't support accessibility?
with JVM 1.5_10 or above it's possible to move from elements of IE browser page with tab and enter and exit from applet
with JVM 1.6 or using plugin 1.6 this is not more possible.
with plugin 1.6 and JVM 1.5 applet can gains focus but it doesn't release it
with JVM 1.6 applet doesn't gain focus and all keyevents are intercepted from browser.
to make my applet and page accessible I need to move focus between elements of browser page with tab,
and enter and exit from applet.
Just because my users can't use mouse but only keyboard.
Note that FireFox doesn't work at all, even if bug seems fixed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93149
(you can watch a recorder right sample here on: http://www.vista.it/ing_vista_0311_video_streaming_accessibile_demo.php)
Please advise.

Hello Carl,
some things are so easy if some one takes place the clou. I clear all cache information in the firefox browser and all is working fine.
Thank you very much and have a nice weekend.

Thorsten

When i go to move app from dock the cloud shows but goes back to dock. can you please help

Drag it further away and it should release. It used to be that you just had to drag it off a little bit for it to delete. The new behaviour got introduced at some point in Mountain Lion.

Coded UI : Window '' is blocking the control 2015. Please move the window '' or make the control 2015 visible and retry the action. Additional Details:

Hi ,
I'm trying to do a test automation using codedUI. This is a Windows application based on WPF.
I recorded the events and when playback I get a error.
There are two datetime pickers in the same form and when doing a playback one is picking up the date correctly where as the other datetimepicker is throwing the error as below.
Window '' is blocking the control 2015. Please move the window '' or make the control 2015 visible and retry the action. I tried even manually selecting some offset points but still the calendarfield shows empty.
Thanks,
Jayashree

Hi Jayashree,
Thank you for posting in the MSDN forum.

Please debug it with steps in this blog:

Please make sure that the target control is well truly visible on the screen, and then troubleshoot action you need to take is to check if the search has actually hit the correct target element. You can make use
of the
DrawHighlight method in your test code to validate this.

TS2634 Why won't my screen orient for a movie on the dock?

Why won't my screen orient for a movie on the dock? It used to.

Are you by any chance using Netfix when this happens. If you are, I believe that this changed in their last app update. The movies will only work in landscape mode.
If you are not using Netfix and you are using the videos app, close the app and reboot the iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

How to move focus from one JTree node to another one and then back again?

Hi all!
Say I have a very simple JTree
package main;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.JTree;
import javax.swing.event.TreeSelectionEvent;
import javax.swing.event.TreeSelectionListener;
import javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode;
public class SelectableTree extends JFrame implements TreeSelectionListener {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new SelectableTree();
    private JTree tree;
    private JTextField currentSelectionField;
    public SelectableTree() {
        super("JTree Selections");
        addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent event) {
                System.exit(0);
        Container content = getContentPane();
        DefaultMutableTreeNode root = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Root");
        DefaultMutableTreeNode child;
        DefaultMutableTreeNode grandChild;
        for (int childIndex = 1; childIndex < 4; childIndex++) {
            child = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Child " + childIndex);
            root.add(child);
            for (int grandChildIndex = 1; grandChildIndex < 4; grandChildIndex++) {
                grandChild = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Grandchild "
                        + childIndex + "." + grandChildIndex);
                child.add(grandChild);
        tree = new JTree(root);
        tree.addTreeSelectionListener(this);
        content.add(new JScrollPane(tree), BorderLayout.CENTER);
        currentSelectionField = new JTextField("Current Selection: NONE");
        content.add(currentSelectionField, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        setSize(250, 275);
        setVisible(true);
    public void valueChanged(TreeSelectionEvent event) {
        currentSelectionField.setText("Current Selection: "
                + tree.getLastSelectedPathComponent().toString());
}All I need is to move focus from currently selected node, to some other node (does not matter which one), then to "sleep" for a second and finally move it back to return selection to the previously selected node. The only question is how do I do this?

Use a Seperate Thread to do it:
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
               int k=tree.getSelectionRows()[0];
               DefaultMutableTreeNode node = (DefaultMutableTreeNode)tree.getLastSelectedPathComponent();
                            if(node.getNextSibling()!=null)
                                 tree.setSelectionRow(k+1);
                            else
                                 tree.setSelectionRow(k-1);
                            sleepe(k);
public void sleepe(int i){
                     try{
                            Thread.sleep(1000);
                                 }catch(Exception e){
                                     e.printStackTrace();
                              tree.setSelectionRow(i);
    }Then start this thread in a mouse click event(or any other similar),but not in TableSelectionListener because >>if the current selected row is 1 then it will execute the valueChanged method of TableSe..li. and we set the selected row to 2 then again it will execute the valueChanged method of TableSe..li.It will repeat till something,or in error.
tree.addMouseListener( new MouseListener(){
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
                   new Thread(r).start();
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)     {
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
});Note:it worked perfectly for me. So add all the above in the right place and import necessary.It will execute perfectly.

Move Focus Between Worksheet Edit Area and Results Pane

Hi,
Is there a keyboard shortcut key to move focus into Worksheet Edit Area and the Results Tab for the SQL wroksheet ? (not using Mouse)
When I run the query in SQL worksheet I have to mouse click on the one of the cells in the Results grid and then scroll to check the resulting records (and vice versa to edit the query), instead if there is a keyboard shortcut that could be used to move focus would increase the efficiency.
I tried searching for it but could not find any.
Thanks

Hi Jim,
I have Version 1.5.4 installed and when I do a ctrl-tab I get the following options:
Worksheet1
Connections
Files
Reports
Extended Search
SQL History
I do not see the Results option, (Results tab in the worksheet1). Let me know if I am not doing it the right way.
I am looking for a keyboard key using which I can switch my cursor between the worksheet(where we type queries) and its results tab.
Pressing F9 runs the query and displays the output in the Results tab but the cursor still remains in the typing area and to browse the records one has to use the mouse and click on one of the record in the results tab

Move focus in Aperture.

Hi. How can I move the focus in Aperture using the keyboard?
Specifically, I often want to move the focus to the "Add Keyword" field on the Control Bar, then enter keywords, then return the focus to the Browser. Currently I have to use the mouse cursor to move the focus.
Similarly, I would like to move the insertion point to a field in the Metadata tab of the Inspector, type a field entry, and then return the focus to the Browser.
Typically I forget at some point to click to return the focus to the Browser, type (for instance) "{Shift}+i", and enter "I" in the field instead of toggling the Inspector. The "Add Keyword" field auto-completes, which means then must delete the entry in the field and then move the focus back to the Browser.
A partial work-around would be being able to advance the Browser selection while keeping the focus in a field. I recall reading how to do this, but I haven't re-discovered it.
All of this is part of my attempt to make key-wording in Aperture speedy and bump-less. I'm still trying. Any suggestions are appreciated. TIA.

Hi Kirby
To get the focus in the 'Add Keyword' field on the Control Bar you can use Alt-N (in the menu under 'Metadata' ->'New Keyword'). I just discovered this some days ago because I meant that this command really creates a new keyword
