Control handles or points and warping text

The transform controls in Photoshop CS6 disappear as soon as I click on the warp mode icon, preventing me from manually warping the layer on which I am working. Oh sure, I can click on Show Transform Controls and, voila, there they are. But as soon as I click on the icon that switches me between warp and free transform, the handles disappear (no mesh either) and without them there is no way to manually warp text or images. Because this used to work perfectly in CS5, I am just a tad frustrated. None of the prebuilt warp modes involve perspective (although I understand this option is maybe, perhaps, it's possible, coming at some point in the future) I can't even get the look I'm after with any prebuilt mode.
3D doesn't offer a simple perspective tool either. Yes, it does a lot, but not what I want.
So, why do the handles disappear and how can I get them to stick when I need them?
And, yes, I do have View > Extras active. Or at least the option is checked as active.
Thank you for any help.

PECourtejoie, That was a lot of text! I did not include most of it, but I did include anything related to the video card. I hope I included what you need. If not, I can copy the whole shebang. Thank you for all your help.

How can I control the space before and after text in a table

Hello
I have a series of icons with descriptions, these are lined up with icons on the top row and description text in the bottom row. Each icon and description is divided by a stapled line.
The text is of varying width, therefore the column width must also wary. However I would like to make the space before and after the text equal in all instances (See image).
If there is anyone that can tell me how to do this with tables or any other tools I would be very thankful.

The only way I can think of to maintain equla spacing between the text ov vartying lengths and the vertical lines is to put each icon/text pair in it's own frame fitted to content, make each vertical line a separate object, then select them all and distribute the spacing.

How to edit a path and its text wrap of zero simultaneously?

When I try to select a point on a polygon - with a Text Wrap of zero - I merely select a point on the Text Wrap instead. The Text Wrap path appears to be above the polygon path to which it is attached. How do I select an actual polygon point?
The larger problem is editing a polygon (point or points) and the Text Wrap simultaneously - rather than the two paths acting independently.
At the moment, I have to switch the Text Wrap off, edit the shape, then switch the Text Wrap of zero back on. Surely, the most common use of Text Wraps on polygons is to push text away from a polygon that follows the outline of an image - why, therefore, is it default that you can move a Text Wrap point(s) without moving the parent point(s) on the polygon – and vice versa – at once? How can they be connected so when one moves, the other moves?

For me - in CS6 - the Text Wrap path can behave as though it is above the polygon path which is frustrating if the Text Wrap is set to Zero. Though it is irregular......
Try this ...polygon with Text Wrap of Zero - nothing selected - select a point - move the point - works! (in that the polygon path moves and the Text Wrap path moves with it) - but then (without de-selecting the polygon) - select a different point - move the point - only the Text Wrap has been moved and, from then on, the polygon and Text Wrap are disconnected (unless the whole thing is selected).
I realise if the Text Wrap is set to something other than Zero, this is not an issue as the two paths are easily distinguished and, unless you deliberately choose a Text Wrap path point and adjust it, the two paths remain happily connected, but having it set to Zero gives me the most precise control. At the moment, I switch Text Wrap off and on repeatedly whilst adjusting the polygon otherwise I end up with lots of wires everywhere. I think it should be harder to disconnect a Text Wrap from its parent polygon - not sure why anyone would want to disconnect the two in any case!

Path with anchor points and bezier control handles

I have a text, not converted to outline. Live text.
I am using IllCS4.
That is cool thing about hovering the cursor above the text and see hidden path and anchor points only when you hovering exactly above them. But I want them be visible permannently, while I am applying some envelop distort changes. Then I want to turn visibility off. And how to get permanent visiblity of bazier control handles at the same time?
I am lost.
Tx

Yes, thank you,
that is great thing, but when I use it, I see outlines (like a wireframe) of image only.
Is there any way to see still image as it is and switch on visibility of object' path with all control points?

Is point in custom object with only one control handle possible?

I notice with a rounded rectangle if you make it editable and click on any of the points, they all seem to have only one "control handle". Normally there are always two. Is there really only one control handle on those points, or does it just look that way? Assuming there is indeed only one control handle, how can I do that too?

Hi Chris,
Yes, there really is only one control handle for these points. And a look at the 'ordinary' rectangle shows that the control points at its vertices have zero control handles.
The rectangles appear to be set to retain the property of the rounded corner attaching to a line segment (for the rounded rectangle) or the vertex being formed by the intersection of two lines (for the 'ordinary' rectangle).
"Normal" control points (your term) treat the point at which they are inserted as a point on a curve, even it that curve has infinite radius (and appears as a line segment), and provide for revision of the curve on both sides of the control.
If you insert one of these (option-click) anywhere on the shape, it will appear as an unfilled red circle, and will have two control handles.
Assuming there is indeed only one control handle, how can I do that too?
For a start, you could explain what you mean by "do that too."
Regards,
Barry

I have a Text control string box with some initial text. I would like to highlight old text with click of mouse and type in new data from keyboard

I have a text control string box with some initial text (says: Please enter Name). I would like the operator to click on the text control box and have it automatically highlight so that when new data is typed in the old erases (all at once) and the new data is now in the text box.
I tried using the "Text.Selection" property node and when I run it and put the mouse inside the text box the initial text is highlighted and if I press "delete" on the keyboard or if I start to type in new data the initial data does delete but once I start to type new characters they erase each other. For example if I want to type in “Willi
am” I type the “W” and then the “I” but the “I” erases the “W” and now I am only left with an “I” in the text box and so on. I appreciate any help

It seems you are continuously setting the property node over and over again. This should only happen once if you mouse over it.
Create a property node for your text control with the following three items:
(1) KeyFocus (wire a "true" constant to it)
(2) Text.SelStart (Wire a "zero" constant to it)
(3) Text.SelEnd (Wire a constant containing the string length of the text).
Put this property node inside an event structure, triggered by "Mouse enter" on the string control.
(see if the attached example works for you)

It's simple... I want the Illustrator pen tool to ALWAYS make corner annchor points and NEVER smooth. Right now I have to convert every single one of them, or I have to do a work around every time I draw a line and make one of the handles disappear. Is there some simple setting out there that will just "make it so?"@

The video I am watching this guy is just dragging every line to make curves. And every anchor point is a corner. He is not switching back and forth between the pen and the anchor points tool, and he is not using the convert points tool. He draws a curved line and starts another straight line only to curve it with a click and a drag. It is super efficient, and I could save a world of time if I could figure out what he is doing.

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. It came installed on my HP Desktop. I am can not get the warp text tool to work. It has worked in the past. Once I click warp text, the little window does not pop up, and if I try to do anything else after I click warp text, it wont let me. Just sounds the ding, alert, can still slightly navigate the program but can not use any other tools after clicking warp text. I just have to open task manager and close the program. not sure if I'm doing something wrong or maybe I just need to uninstall and re install. Having trouble finding out how to uninstall and reinstall because the program came pre installed on my desktop.

It actually sounds like the warp text window is opening off screen.
Resetting the photoshop elements 10 preferences should fix it.
*Press and hold the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after you start the launch of the photoshop elements 10 editor
*Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop elements setting file
*Press Yes

Mouse pointer and keyboard out of control

The mouse pointer and keyboard can not control. Only powe button can use.
The system is still running. The clock and battery indicator is still working
how to solve?

Not a solution, I'm afraid, just concurring -- I am experiencing a very similar problem with the keyboard, but not the mouse pointer. I get an intermittent temporary freeze lasting maybe ten seconds, after which it recovers. Although I suspect waking the machine from sleep may set these off, I couldn't swear to it, and I have experienced several of these sequentially, maybe five minutes apart.

Warping text to shape?

Okay please bear with me: I don't use Illustrator a lot. I'm trying to create a very simple logo where I want to add the letters "HAI" to a hard-hat image. I'll paste in a screenshot below so you can see what I'm talking about. Can someone tell me how to warp those 3 letters to fit the shape? So it looks like they're really on the hat? I'm experimenting with arc and free transform but not really getting anywhere. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Phyllis

1. Type your text vertically (as you've done with "HAT")
2. Use "Object>Envelope Distort>Make With Mesh". Choose "1 column and 1 row".
3. Adjust the mesh corner points to match the surface you want the text to match.
You can select more than one mesh point and control them as one using any of the move or transform tools. You can also use the Free Transform Tool very effectivelly to distort the whole mesh object. If you're not familiar with the Free Transform Tool modifyer key options read about it online.
Hope this helps.

IME API and IME Text Input Enhancement

Hi All,
I am presently using Adobe Air 1.5 Framework and i want to update the Air 2 Beta version. Help me in setting the same.
As in my application, it uses TLF which doesn't supprot IME. But as i came to know the features from AIR 2 Beta it provides.
Can you help me for the same in implementing the feature "IME API and IME Text Input Enhancement" with some samples or examples.
Thanks in advacne.

I do not know what VM is ported on ur Pocket PC? It depends on the MIDP RI [Reference Imlementation] ported specific for each device. for e.g.:- for few pointer/touch screen devices the MIDP RI ported handles both the keypad and the pointer mappings automatically.
Kindly check out the below link where-in you have list of JVM's that you could port on your pocket PC.
http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/~fittond/ppcjava.html
Most of the palm or pocket PC's would be ported with CDC/Foundation Profile where you will have JNI support that may help you to develop your own application specific API's using the existing device native libraries provided by the vendor.
IBM's J9 VM for example supports JNI.

Need help when swapping rooms in my point and click game

Ok i am making my first point and click game in flash to familiarize myself with some of the basics.
I have set up a room with a 2 walls(rooms) at the moment, and on the first frame there are 4 screws that when clicked play a small animation and are then removed, works fine so far. But if i leave that room then go back into it the screws are back in their original position. How do i stop this from happening, i am guessing i have to put an if formula somewhere on my addChild(TLscrew) or put it somewhere else besides in the enter_frame function. Anyway heres my code any help would be appreciated.

Header and Item Texts for Sales Order

Hi,
Can any one help me on Header Text and Item Text...........
<b>STXH & STXL</b>
TDOBJECT :__________
TDID:_____________
TDNAME :_______________
Regards,
Raghunath.S

Hi
Double click on the related text
it will open Text editor
from Menu GOTO-> header
for SO HEADER Texts
then you see the 4 paramters like OBJECT (VBBK),ID,OBJECTNAME (sales Order No) and LANG
FOR SO ITEM texts
OBJECT (VBBP table), ID, OBJECTNAME(SO no plus ITEM No) and LANG
You have to pass these 4 parameters to READ_TEXT fun module to fetch the corresponding texts
see the doc on READ_TEXT
READ_TEXT
READ_TEXT provides a text for the application program in the specified work areas.
The function module reads the desired text from the text file, the text memory, or the archive. You must fully specify the text using OBJECT, NAME, ID, and LANGUAGE. An internal work area can hold only one text; therefore, generic specifications are not allowed with these options.
After successful reading, the system places header information and text lines into the work areas specified with HEADER and LINES.
If a reference text is used, SAPscript automatically processes the reference chain and provides the text lines found in the text at the end of the chain. If an error occurs, the system leaves the function module and triggers the exception REFERENCE_CHECK.
Function call:
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
EXPORTING CLIENT = SY-MANDT
OBJECT = ?...
NAME = ?...
ID = ?...
LANGUAGE = ?...
ARCHIVE_HANDLE = 0
IMPORTING HEADER =
TABLES LINES = ?...
EXCEPTIONS ID =
LANGUAGE =
NAME =
NOT_FOUND =
OBJECT =
REFERENCE_CHECK =
WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE =
Export parameters:
CLIENT
Specify the client under which the text is stored. If you omit this parameter, the system uses the current client as default.
Reference field: SY-MANDT
Default value: SY-MANDT
OBJECT
Enter the name of the text object to which the text is allocated. Table TTXOB contains the valid objects.
Reference field: THEAD-TDOBJECT
NAME
Enter the name of the text module. The name may be up to 70 characters long. Its internal structure depends on the text object used.
Reference field: THEAD-TDNAME
ID
Enter the text ID of the text module. Table TTXID contains the valid text IDs, depending on the text object.
Reference field: THEAD-TDID
LANGUAGE
Enter the language key of the text module. The system accepts only languages that are defined in table T002.
Reference field: THEAD-TDSPRAS
ARCHIVE_HANDLE
If you want to read the text from the archive, you must enter a handle here. The system uses it to access the archive. You can create the handle using the function module ACHIVE_OPEN_FOR_READ.
The value '0' indicates that you do not want to read the text from the archive.
Reference field: SY-TABIX
Default value: 0
Import parameters:
HEADER
If the system finds the desired text, it returns the text header in this parameter.
Structure: THEAD
Table parameters:
LINES
The table contains all text lines that belong to the text read.
Structure: TLINE
Exceptions:
ID
The text ID specified in the parameter ID does not exist in table TTXID. It must be defined there together with the object of the text module.
LANGUAGE
The parameter LANGUAGE contains a language key that does not exist in table T002.
NAME
The parameter NAME contains the name of a text module that does not correspond to the SAPscript conventions.
Possible errors:
The field contains only blanks.
