Curious key binding issue with Openbox

I'm learning about setting up key bindings for actions in Openbox. One of things that I wanted to do is to have the root-menu and client-list-combined-menu set to keyboard shortcuts. This part I borrowed from a post in the forums and it does exactly what it's supposed to do:

<keybind key="W-z">
<action name="ShowMenu">
<menu>client-list-combined-menu</menu>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="W-x">
<action name="ShowMenu">
<menu>root-menu</menu>
</action>
</keybind>
The issue comes when I don't want to select something in the menu. Esc will clear it just like it should. But, The Caps Lock key on my system which is remapped to Esc won't. It works like an escape key everywhere except here. Any ideas on why?

No, it happens all the time. It can be the first thing that I do when the computer boots, and it still doesn't work the way that I'd expect.
If it helps, this is what xev is reporting for Escape:
KeyPress event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x1200001,
root 0x13b, subw 0x0, time 23124448, (89,89), root:(1163,782),

XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (1b) "
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x1200001,

state 0x10, keycode 9 (keysym 0xff1b, Escape), same_screen YES,

And for Caps_Lock:

A data-binding issue with a combo box.

Hi,
Iu2019m having a data-binding issue with a combo box. The field it is bound to is an integer. The valid values in the combo box are 1, 2, and 3. If I add a record when it is set to 1 or 2, the value gets stored correctly. If I add a record when it is set to 3, it is stored as 1. However, I can bring up the record just added on the form, change it to 3, and click u201CUpdateu201D and it is saved correctly as 3. If I change it so that the valid values are 4, 5, and 6, it saves a 1 regardless of what is selected in the combo box. It looks like the combo box is correctly bound for updates but not for adds. The table is a master type UDO. Any ideas? Iu2019m somewhat committed to the field being an integer. I'm using 2007A PL47.
Thanks,
Mike

I tried a few things on my own. The result is that I decided that it was not a good idea to use a combo box bound to an integer (numeric) field. I donu2019t think the SDK can handle it. The reason it was an integer field in the first place is that before I changed it to a combo box it was a group of two option buttons. Option buttons use an integer (numeric) field. This worked just fine until I added a third option; the SDK didnu2019t handle the third option correctly when adding records. I thought that using a combo box instead would fix that. I was wrong; the problem remained. So I decided to use a character (alphanumeric) field instead. This works just fine.
So here is my advice: Never use option buttons if they need to be bound to the database; a combo box will actually work better when bound to the database. But use a character (alphanumeric) field.

[SOLVED] Looking for a terminal command or key binding to exit Openbox

I've searched the forums and googled, but I haven't been able to find the answer. I'm sure I've missed it somewhere...
I start my openbox session with 'startx' from the command line. I would like a terminal command or a key-binding to be able to exit openbox and return to the command line. I just don't like using the menu with my notebooks touchpad. I just can't seem to figure out what command is used. The menu.xml file lists the command as "Exit", but typing that in a terminal just exits the terminal.
Any help appreciated.

Crystal report Parameter binding issue with Liveoffice

Hello,
I have created a Crystal report on top of BW query. In crystal report when parameter is set to null the report gets all data from BW query.
On inserting the same Crystal report to Live office document on binding the parameter i get the data for selected value for parameter but i am not able to set the parameter to null to get all the data from BW queries.
Please help!

Hi,
I was able to solve the issue with the below code. I have added a parameter value as <Not Specifed> in paramter.
if {?parameter1}='<Not Specified>' Then like '*' else

Binding issues with viewState

Hi I am having trouble getting my states to work properly with the bindings.
I have a component and there are multiple states defined for that component.
A state change happens on various situations.
like a event getting fired or based on the data coming from a service call.
The currentstate is Bindable to a property (jobstate) in a DataModel ( Singleton ).
So a state change happens based on the jobstate property thats being set.
But I am having touble getting the correct state to to show properly.
here is a snippet of the custom component.
<mx:VBox
    xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    xmlns:custom="com.disney.messaging.mailcentral.components.*"
    currentState="{_model.jobState}"
    minHeight="0"
    minWidth="500"
    creationComplete="init()"
    updateComplete="SmartScroll.scroll(event)"
    focusIn="SmartScroll.scroll(event)">
    
    <mx:states>
        <mx:State name="{DataModel.SAVING}">
            <mx:overrides>
                <mx:SetProperty target="{theForm}" name="enabled" value="false" />
            </mx:overrides>
        </mx:State>
        <mx:State name="{DataModel.EDITING}">
            <mx:overrides>
                <mx:SetProperty target="{saveButton}" name="enabled" value="true" />
            </mx:overrides>
        </mx:State>
        </mx:State>
    </mx:states>
<mx:Button enabled="false" id="saveButton" label="@Resource(key='Application.action.save', bundle='text')" click="saveForm(event)" height="22"
                        />
</mx:VBox>
And the property is being set on saveForrm function.
_model.jobState = null;
but the state never changes first time, it works fine when the save button is clicked next time.
Any ideas what might be the issue.
Thanks

Hi,
you cannot get directly to the binding container of a another region. Instead you need to perform region-interaction, which you use contextual events for or other means. See this recording for the options you have

Key Binding issues

Hi, I'm developing a java applet game and am having trouble using the key bindings of the JComponent class.
The game starts off with a screen that the user enters some game parameters via text fields and combo boxes. When the user clicks the start button they are then taken to the game screen. Here the users should be able to use the keys a, w, s, and d as controls. Originally I had KeyListeners added directly to the JApplet that worked fine for game control however due to changes in the program structure I need a way to be able to listen from the game display component itself.
I have the following code in a custom class GamePanel extending JPanel that displays the game play itself (its actually nested within another custom class extending JPanel):
this.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("W"), "Forward");
this.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("S"), "Backward");
this.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("A"), "Left");
this.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("D"), "Right");
this.getActionMap().put("Forward", userInputListener.forwardAction);
this.getActionMap().put("Backward", userInputListener.backwardAction);
this.getActionMap().put("Left", userInputListener.leftAction);
this.getActionMap().put("Right", userInputListener.rightAction);I've tried with the WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT but that didn't work either. I also tried plain KeyListeners but had no luck.
I'm assuming the problem stems from focus issues because of the text fields, combo boxes, and/or buttons so I added a focus listener to the JApplet and GamePanel to test my theory. The applet gets focus when first clicked on however once the text fields etc. are clicked it is not regaining focus even after methods requestFocus or requestFocusInWindow are called.
I could definitely be wrong about the focus stuff but any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
- Nat

it is not regaining focus even after methods requestFocus or requestFocusInWindow are called.It works for me using:
panel.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter()
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
e.getComponent().requestFocusInWindow();
});I added the above code to this posting:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threadID=5149852
If that doesn't work then you can also try using:
panel.setFocusable( true );
panel.setRequestFocusEnabled( true );Otherwise a SSCCE as suggested above is required.

Cfdiv bind issue with IE

I have a form with two radio buttons where a cfdiv uses the values to load a form depending on the value passed. Everything works well in FF and Safari, but in IE, you have to click away from the radio button for the bind to work. In FF and Safari the bind works on click. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Don't use IE... ha!
Not really an answer but I would look at the generated source code (view source) from your browser. This should lead you to the culprit.

Mail and Key board issues with Mavericks 9.2

I am using a Mac Pro and have just uploaded Mavericks 9.2 upgrade.
I am now experiencing erratic response to key board commands, while typing and Mac Mail is sometimes unresponsive. My epson photo stylus 1400 printer driver also bacame unresponsive. This issue was resolved by uninstalling the driver, re-installing the original driver >reloading the upgrades from Epson via software update>adding the newly installed printer to the preferences. Presently the printer is working just fine, but the Mac Mail menu bar is blinking uncontrollabley and is unresponsive until I quit it and reboot the program. Anyon else having these issues?

Problem resolved by restting the PRAM.

[SOLVED]openbox key binding hell

hello everyone I'm having 2 issue setting up new key bindings and I hope someone here can help me I want it to add W-f binding to open my file manager of choice(pcmanfm) below I will list the two issue and post my rc.xml and all the out put from xev for the f key an the output of xmodmap -pm
issue #1) when I add a key with obkey the bind I add works but all the others openbox key binds stop working here I'm at a lost after trying it a few times and getting the same result I decide to just edit the xml file here where the second issue begins
issue #2) when edited the rc.xml to add the key bind I want it I did exactly as the wiki sead but it didn't work so I start looking around and and found out that I can pass the hex value for the key converting the keycode that I get form xev output below
KeyRelease event, serial 41, synthetic NO, window 0x1a00001,
root 0xac, subw 0x0, time 1106315, (109,-274), root:(897,143),
state 0x0, keycode 41 (keysym 0x66, f), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (66) "f"
XFilterEvent returns: False
after doing that seeing that it didn't work ether I found out about the "default" bind the keyboard below is the output
xmodmap: up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x69)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x6c), Meta_L (0xcd)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 Super_L (0x85), Super_R (0x86), Super_L (0xce), Hyper_L (0xcf)
mod5 ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c), Mode_switch (0xcb)
as I read in one of the forum post in the cruchbnag page the mod4 is the for the window key or super
so I cahnge the W key on my binding for Super_L and that didn't work ether a this point i'm at a lost of what to do or how to fix it blow is the keyboard part of my rc.xml

You have a misspelling, twice on the same line: commnad should be command.
If that doesn't fix it, try using a full path:

Why does one openbox key binding break others?

For some reason, using one of my custom key bindings for openbox breaks some others. Here's the whole rc.xml file: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/498056/ and the part where the key binding is set:
<keybind key="XF86TouchpadToggle">
<action name="Execute">
<startupnotify>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</startupnotify>
<command>/home/user/tpad</command>
</action>
</keybind>
/home/user/tpad:
#!/bin/bash
if [[ $1 == "on" ]]
then echo "turning on touchpad"
exec synclient touchpadoff=0
elif [[ $1 == "off" ]]
then echo "turning off touchpad"
exec synclient touchpadoff=1
else
if (($(synclient | grep TouchpadOff | tail -c 2)==0))
then echo "turning off touchpad"
exec synclient touchpadoff=1
else
echo "turning on touchpad"
exec synclient touchpadoff=0
fi
fi
After I press Fn-F3 ("XF86TouchPadToggle"), the following key bindings (all set in rc.xml) are broken: XF86AudioLowerVolume, XF86Display, XF86TouchPadToggle (that's right, it breaks itself). I've tested this several times. These keys work when I've just started openbox, but as soon as I press XF86TouchPadToggle, they stop working.
Does anyone have any idea why, and what can be done to fix it?
Running the script with the same command as in rc.xml does -not- have the same effect. Pressing the key with the quoted section from rc.xml commented out does -not- have the same effect.

Issue with Bex report - key Figures not populating correctly.

Hi Experts,
I am facing an issue with a Bex report. There are three key figures of data type DATE having "Dec - Counter or amount field with comma and sign" datatype. After executing the query, in the report, for some sales documents the key figure fields are coming as 'X' and rest others are coming correctly in the date format as mm\dd\yyyy.
When i check in the cube, these key figures shows values in decimal format and not in date format. The conversion is happening during execution.
Pleas show me some light on how to identify the cause of getting 'X' for some Sales documents in the report eventhough some are coming correctly.
Thanks,
Anamika
Edited by: Anamika Soni on Mar 12, 2010 10:48 AM

Hi,
The infobject has been defined with datatype "DATE" only. It has also been mapped from datasource to infocube correctly as these key figures are populating correctly for some of the sales documents in the report. It is not like that for all the sales documents the key figures are not converting properly.
Some Sales documents are not converting into the date fields but for some conversion happens properly in the BEx report. This is the issue.
Please guide accordingly.
Many thanks,
Anamika

URGENT: Issue with hierarchy level keys and report drill down

Hi,
BASIC STRUCTURE:
I have created a subject area with 3 facts (FACT_A, FACT_B, FACT_C) and 4 dimesnions (TIME_DIM,DIM_2,DIM_3,DIM_4). Each fact table also has additional aggregate tables aggregated along levels of the time dimension. Also our timw dimension has aggregated dimension tables like TIME_DIM_WEEK, TIME_DIM_MONTH, TIME_DIM_QUARTER and TIME_DIm_YEAR.
GOAL:
All 3 facts have the same measures M_1 and M_2 in them but may not have data for the same dimension values selected.
For example
For month JAN 2000 FACT_A.M1=100$ and no data exists for JAN 2000 in FACT_B and FACT_C. Then in the report
for JAN2000 it should show FACT_A.M1= $100, FACT_B.M1 = 0 and FACT_C.M1 =0. In this case I should be able to drill down to the lowest level.
ISSUE:
The time dimension TIME_DIM has the following levels - Total -> Year -> Quarter -> Month -> Week -> Day
However I am having an issue with drill down in the reports whenever I pull metrics from more than 1 fact at a time. I have defined the level keys but not sure if I need to do anything in addition since I am using aggregates.
I have to fix this issue quickly. Please help me.

Alastair,
All the fact tables have aggregated facts as sources.
I have checked the levels set for each of the sources to the time dimesnion table in BMM and they look okay. So the Time dim table in BMM has 4 source tables
Time_Day (level set to day, table key is "day"),
Time_month (level set to month, table key is "Fiscal_Month_Code"),
Time_Quarter(level set to quarter, table key is "Fiscal_Quarter_Code") and
Time_Year(level set to year, table key is :Fiscal_Year_Code").
Note: No time week aggregate added as logical source.
Again the time dim hierarchy based off of this table has levels: Total -> Year ->quarter -> Month -> week -> day
The levels keys set for each level are
Year -> Primary key is Year_Name (YYYY)(Checked as chronological key) and another key is Year_Num (YYYY)(Checked as chronological key)
Quarter->Primary Key is Quarter_Name (YYYY Qn), another key is Quarter_Number (Format n where n can assum values 1,2,3,4). Both keys are set as chronological keys
Month -> Primary key is Month_Name (MON YYYY), another key is Month_Num (Format n where n can assume values from 1 to 12) Both keys are set as chronological keys
Week -> Primary Key is week name (YYYY Wk nn, where nn can have values from 1 to 53), another key is week num (nn, where nn can have values from 1 to 53)
Day -> primary key set to day (date format)
Issue1: When I try to drill to lower levels it throws out an error saying report cannot find any data because filters may be too restrictive even though I see data at higher level
For ex: If I drill down to Year: 2010 and Qtr: 2010 Q2 and M1:$100 when I click on Qtr to drll to month level it throws me the error
Issue2: when I add year and qtr colums to the report I see data as below which is incorrect
Year_Name Qtr_Name data:FACTA_M1 Data: FactB_M1
2009 2009 Q1 $10 $5
2009 2009 Q2 $20 $80
2009 2009 Q3 $20
2009 2009 Q4 $30
2010 2010 Q1 $100
2010 Q2 $101
2010 Q3 $102 $230
2010 Q4 $103
2011 Q1 $10
In the above example year_name is not showing up for 2010 Q2 and after. However if I change the primary key for level 'Quarter' by having key consist of year name and quarter name instead of just quarter name the issue doesnt occur and drill down works great. The only issue is when I drill from qtr it first shows year name and quarter name instead of showing the next level which would be month name.
Sorry about the long message but I thought you might notice something in how I have set up the keys.
Thanks

The particular string value that is causing a problem is "Travel and Expenditure". I believe it is due to the "AND" in the string but this string value cannot be changed in the database to say "Travel & Expenditure".
I have thought about using a REPLACE function in the SELECT statement but see this as an ugly solution.
Any input greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,

FF 8.0.1 Issue with cursor keys

Hi,
I encounter issue with using any of the keyboard cursor arrow keys (i.e. up/down/left/right, page up/dwn) in any textboxes on any websites that I open with FireFox.
I made sure I have the latest mouse/keyboard drivers installed and I also checked the behaviour by openiung a web site using Internet Explorer where these sympthoms do not occur.
When ever I enter any text and try to press arrow left/right the cursor didn't move. It only moves when I keep pressing the cursors key. The same happens by pressing Ctrl+arrow left/right or page down/up in multiline fields.
Any advices are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Bodo

Key binding won't work with alt-up and alt-left arrow combined

I was playing with key binding trying to create a small app where a timer is started with the press of an alt-arrow key and stopped when the key is released. The timers append Strings to a JTextArea telling which alt-arrow key is currently pressed.
This program works, and in fact if you press a combination of any two keys, both timers will work simultaneously, that is unless you press both up arrow and left arrow together. Can anyone see a bug in the program that explains why it won't work for these two particular keys when combined? Thanks in advance, Pete

I noticed the problem a while ago with a similiar example and asked the same question to which nobody could give an explanation. The same observations seem to apply to your example in that using the numpad arrow keys work without a problem.

Yes indeed. I suppose (as always) I should have searched the forum first before asking the question. Thanks for the link and info.
