Current menu item

Dear members,
(Forms 6i c/s)
Is there a way to get the name of the current menu item ?
I want to disable a menu item just after it was chosen (in a generic way), so the user can't call the same program twice.
Since each item calls the same procedure, I want to put a set_menu_item_property there, but I need the name of the item that is currently executing this procedure.
Thanks for your help.

We are currently looking at this enhancement request:
BUG:3199920

  • Highlight current menu item whose page is displayed in an iFrame

    Greetings,
    Looking for the Holy Grail here...
    So the parent page has static menu and an iframe which then loads in a specific pages as the user clicks on the menu items (which are ul li tags).
    I would like to be able to highlight a menu item based on the page content being displayed in an iframe. It seems to be quite difficult to do for this style of page load using iframe method. I know it would be easier using php, but I can only use iframe (long story).
    When page 1 is displayed in the iframe, I would like for the corresponding menu item to be highlighted.
    I'm hoping the answer is out there somewhere as iframe has been around forever. If you would like to see my code, I'm happy to provide this.
    Thanks!

    Sure, here you go...
    1. Add this code between your <head> tags:
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function offclass(id)
        {document.getElementById(id).className = 'class_off';}
        function onclass(id)
        {document.getElementById(id).className = 'class_on';}
    </script>
    2. In your css, create your on and off styles (I used <a> you can use <li> the same way)...
    a.class_on {
        color:blue;
    a.class_off {
        color:red;
    3. Add id's (individual to each link), classes (set to the off class you make) and onclick events (one to turn the link on and several to turn off the others) to your links...
    <a id="link1" class="class_off" href="http://www.apple.com" target="mr_jones" onclick="onclass('link1'); offclass('link2'); offclass('link3');">Link 1</a>
    <a id="link2" class="class_off" href="http://www.adobe.com" target="mr_jones" onclick="onclass('link2'); offclass('link1'); offclass('link3');">Link 2</a>
    <a id="link3" class="class_off" href="http://www.foxnews.com" target="mr_jones" onclick="onclass('link3'); offclass('link1'); offclass('link2');">Link 3</a>
    4. Give your iframe the name used for your target and a base "on page load source" (I used a # so it's blank on load)...
    <iframe id="mr_jones" name="mr_jones" width="420" height="315" src="#" frameborder="0"></iframe>
    That's it. As you increase the number of links, you just need to make sure you have an offclass for each new one added in to turn those off when you click.

  • Finding which menu item has been clicked

    Does oracle forms have anyway of knowing which menu item has been clicked.
    I have a security structure set up where menu items are made visible depending on their name, which in turn is based on the individual forms that a particular user can access.
    I would like to write a generic method for all menu items where it uses the name of the clicked menu item to perform a query, the result could be used to open a new form.
    So is there a build in or some 'secret source' which tells me the name or gives me the id of a clicked menu item?

    Not entirely sure what you mean, are you sugesting i have a generic method with a switch statment and uses the input paramter to decide what to do?
    It's not really what i'm after, rather I already have the name of the menu item in the database, the same table also contains the module filename that clicking the button should go to.
    So the idea would be somthing like
    declare
    begin
    select module name into new form from secutity table where menu item = :system.current menu item;
    open_form(new form);
    end;
    :sysem.current menu item is the missing ingreadiant.
    My menu has many items in the hundreds i think so even the generic switch staement would be pretty tedious and i want changes in the database to be felt system wide as they are else where in my system.
    Thanks for you help and i hope this explains my question better.

  • How to make menu-item of current page appear in a different font color?

    Hi,
    My menu-bar works just fine. Hovering the links I get the text to take display the desired color. Now I want the menu-item of the selected page to show a third color.
    With live-code enabled in Dreamweaver CS6, I can see the following code being generated by the Dynamic menu:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/CatalystScripts/Java_DynMenusSelectedCSS.js"></script><!-- Dynamic Menu Begin CSS Output --><div id="cat_549633_divs"><ul id="nav_549633"><li class="selected"><a href="/home.html">Home</a></li><li><a href="/leistungen.html">Leistungen</a></li><li><a href="/uhrenservice.html">Uhrenservice</a></li><li><a href="/versteigerungen.html">Versteigerungen</a></li><li><a href="/diamanten.html">Diamanten</a></li><li><a href="/ueber_uns.html">Über uns</a></li><li><a href="/kontakt.html">Kontakt</a></li></ul></div><script type="text/javascript">catSetSelectedCSSItem('nav_549633');</script><!-- Dynamic Menu End CSS Output -->
    The class .selected is being created in the first list-item (home) as this is the current page.
    And here is my CSS:
    #nav_549633 {
              float: right;
              list-style-type: none;
              padding-top: 5px;
    #nav_549633 li {
              float: left;
              text-align: left;
    #nav_549633 li a {
              color:white;
              text-decoration: none;
              margin: 0 27px 0 0;
              font-size: 13px;
              text-transform: uppercase;
    #nav_549633 li a:hover {
              color: yellow;
    .selected {
              color: green;
    The font color green does not appear. It is still white.
    In order to see if the class is "working" I tried some other attributes, that DO work!
    .selected {
      color: green;
      padding: 20px
      background-color: blue;
    In this case, the item appears as a blue box with 20px-padding, just as expected - but the font-color is still white.
    Can anyone help me?

    Hi Mario,
    Here's the link to my site:
    http://grootaartseuronics.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
    I have found a solution myself for 2 of the 3 questions i had:
    I have deleted/changed this div: #nav_1371057 li li
    And created a few new ones:
    #nav_1371057 li li a, #nav_1371057 li li a:visited (To control the link en visited link colors in the sub-menu other than the root-menu)
    #nav_1371057 li li a:hover (to control the hover in the sub-menu other than the root-menu if nessesary)
    #nav_1371057 li li.selected a (to control the selected link and let the link change color or bolder like in my case)
    Here are the CSS styles I used:
    #nav_1371057 li li.selected a { /*Dit veranderd de dikte (bold) van de geselecteerde link in het submenu, dus de pagina waar je bent*/
    font-weight:bolder;
    #nav_1371057 li li a, #nav_1371057 li li a:visited{
    background:  #006;
    color:#ffffff;
    #nav_1371057 li li a:hover{
    background:  #999;
    color:#ffffff;
    Only thing i can't figure out is how I can change/control the color of the arrow which is black now. And i want to make it blue.
    Thanks,
    Frank

  • JavaScript:  How do you pass the currently active doc to a dialog in a menu item?

    I'm using Adobe Acrobat 11.0 Standard on Windows 7, and I'm having trouble with the menu item that I'm creating.  The menu item calls a dialog that prompts the user to select a page in the currently active document.  The problem is, I can't figure out how to pass the currently active document to the dialog.  I scoured the rest of the documentation, did searches on Google and here in the Adobe forums, but haven't turned anything up.  The AcroJS API gives the following solution (found under app/methods/execDialog):
    This function attaches the Doc object to the dialog box, then passes the dialog box to the app.execDialog method. The dialog4 object and this function can be at the document level.
       function dotheDialog(dialog,doc)
            dialog.doc = doc;
            var retn = app.execDialog( dialog )
    Finally, the following script can be executed from a mouse-up action, for example.
        dotheDialog( dialog4, this );
    I did this exact thing, but in the dialog, the value of this.numPages still comes out as undefined, indicating that the current document still hasn't been passed.  My own code looks like this:
      function dotheDialog(dialog, thisDoc){
        dialog.doc = thisDoc;
        var retn = app.execDialog(dialog);
      app.addMenuItem({
        cName: "Test Dialogue Box",
        cParent: "Edit",
        cExec: "dotheDialog(templateDialogue, this);"
    where templateDialogue is the name of my own dialog, rather than dialog4.  I'm not sure what the retn variable that they declare in the documentation is for, but I've tried it with and without that part, and it doesn't seem to make a difference.  Does anyone know how to do this?

    Sorry, here it is.  It's also just a small modification of something directly from the API, which is why it still has the date bit in it.
    var templateDialogue = {
      initialize: function (dialog) {
        // Create a static text containing the current date.
        var todayDate = dialog.store()["date"];
        todayDate = "Date: " + util.printd("mmmm dd, yyyy", new Date());
        dialog.load({ "date": todayDate });
      commit:function (dialog) {    // called when OK pressed
        var results = dialog.store();
        var inBounds = (parseInt(results["tPag"]) < this.numPages);
        if(!inBounds){
          app.alert({
            cMsg: "Please enter a valid number for the page from which to make the template." +
            "\n" + parseInt(results['tPag']) + " = parseInt(results['tPag']) !< this.numPages = " +  // I put this in to see the value of this.numPages,
            this.numPages,                                                                           // and it continues to be undefined.
            cTitle: "Page out of Bounds",
            nIcon: 0, nType: 0
        }else{
          var nButton = app.alert({
            cMsg: "Your template is named " + results["tNam"] + " and is made from page " + results["tPag"],
            cTitle: "javascript",
            nIcon: 3, cType: 0

            ok_name: "Ok",
            cancel_name: "Cancel"
    Side Question:  Out of curiosity, how would you abort if the user clicks cancel?  I get the feeling that they don't cover it because it's something you're supposed to already know how to do, but...I don't.  Would you just put whatever action you want to take into an if ( button == "Ok" ) type statement so that cancel does nothing?

  • Implementing menu items and saving state in my app

    Hello
    I'm a new user to the forums, but have a little bit of java programming experience.
    currently i'm writing some business applications, one of which is a payroll system. The target audience is end-user bookkeepers so i am planning for a GUI front end.
    My first question relates to how programs save their state. for example, each month the bookkeeper will launch the program and add the next months payments, or he/she will open the program to fix a mistake. In general how do programs like word, excel (or anything) save and load files to work with? I was thinking about using XML. I thought i would load in an XML file containing all work so far, and then the user could save to it, which would add the new work.
    Question the second: A lot of gui java apps i use (like argo, symphony etc) have standard menus at the tops. Items like open, save, close, print etc. How are developers actually doing this? is there some premade classes i can just use in my programs as well that would be me this funtionality? This kindof relates to my first question about saving and opening. Further, it seems there are two GUI libraries to consider - either SWT or Swring. Eclipse plugins are written in SWT (from what i have heard). Can anybody recommend which API i should be using to create a GUI for my program?
    I think that's it for now. If anybody can provide me with advice i woudl be most grateful, as i'm at a bit of a standstill with my development.
    thanks.

    the user could save to it, which would add the new work. It sounds more like you are talking about saving the data instead of state--save in a database for mass and long term storage. Simple state info can be easily save in a database also or in a bean or text file.

The specifics of what happens when the individual menu items are selected are left up to the programmer.
    If you are looking for prebuilt menubars with code attached to perform common functions, then I do not know of any included in Java.

  • Page Forward & Reverse buttons do not work & are "grayed-out" after upgrading to, as is the Main-Menu Items such as File-Edit-view etc...

    After upgrading to Firefox 3.6.12 all functionality appeared to be intact. Then after a few days it lost the ability to "page forward" or to "page back" and are "grayed-out". Additionally, the Main menu items such as File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools & Help are also grayed-out and non-functioning.
    Also, the "Search Window" does not search, Web Searches need to be performed from within the URL window instead, for some crazy reason. If the URL window is blank when I enter a search into the actual search window the following appears in the URL window, "Search Bookmarks and History", which makes no sense.
    I have noticed similar complaints in this Forum in the past but I have not seen any posted resolution to these issues. Is there a solution?

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • Start Menu items/shotcuts and Start Menu search ability on multiple workstations

    2/13/2014 our IT department began to receive complaints of missing programs. After investigation of a few users we were able to determine that the programs existed but all shortcuts and items from the start menu had been completely removed. In addition the
    searching feature of the start menu was not functional. This happened to about 90% of our environment and the catalyst seemed to be Windows updates or at least occurred after the auto reboot initiated by Windows Updates.  The only items visible in start
    menu were items added after the fact, internet explorer, magnifier, command prompt, and notepad. All other items, folders, and the ability to search installed programs or folders were completely removed. However all programs are present in the program files
    folders. THe start menu folder in program data was empty except for the aforementioned items. Additionally properties of start menu had all necessary checks in boxes such as search program files and folders etc. Also show hidden items and folders is enabled
    for many users so the items were not hidden but gone. And the biggest kicker of all was after a full domain investigation into the issues we found that the majority of our windows server platforms, primarily 2008, were also affected and system restore is unavailable.
    This conflicts with our idea that Windows Updates caused this since our servers get their updates on a manual initiated basis by their admins which we have not performed as of yet for this month. This caused me to begin looking at SCCM SCEP as all systems
    have System Center Endpoint Protection and received definition updates. Also accessing different user profiles or even a new profile did not make a difference, issue still present.
    Due to the enormous inconvenience we sent out a company wide email asking users to perform system restores to get us in a stable state. A system restore to the day before Windows updates (second Wednesday of every month configured by SCCM SCUP) restored
    the start menu items.
    On a multitude of machines IT performed troubleshooting and system restores recording the changes removed and added. We then, on a healthy machine, started to apply the windows updates and SCEP (antivirus) definitions 1 by 1 with out success of replicating
    the issue. Next we performed a system wide antivirus full scan and did not find any viruses. This is obviously not a system criticle issue bringing us down but is a huge concern for us in IT as it happened company wide and caused a large flux of tickets and
    some down time for non-technical users. We most definitely want to know the cause and after several days of investigation and troubleshooting Im turning to the Microsoft community for help.
    I know I categorized this as a Windows 7 issue and its affecting windows server 2008, 2003, and 7, but I did not see a forum for all windows platforms. Since the majority of affected users are Windows 7 I opened it here.
    So to summarize in a bulleted format:
    Issue: Wide spread issue affecting around 60-70 users and servers, all profiles, were all start menu items save one or two system defaults were removed. Additionally the searching feature for the start menu looks to be broken as programs
    exist in program files and are unsearchable from start menu. IT was also affected and I remain affected until I find the cause.
    Investigation and Troubleshooting:
    Start menu properties: nothing has changed and search options are enabled.
    Missing items are not hidden, hiding and unhiding does nothing and folder options show hidden files is checked.
    Program data start menu location is indeed empty as well as user app data start menu location
    No group policy's are in place altering start menu items and no group policy changes were made as of recent
    No SCCM packages pushed company wide in last month or pushed individually
    Windows Updates occurred on windows 7 machines only before the issue occurred and computers restarted and the issue surfaced
    System Center Endpoint Protection Antivirus updates and definitions deployed just before the occurrence with windows updates. SCEP def updates happen on all windows boxes to include servers
    Paint.exe was completely missing from system32 folder for some users machines to include my own
    System restore to that morning before restarts or previous day fixes the issue for windows 7 users
    No windows updates were initiated on any servers
    Servers were also affected with windows 7 machines
    About half the users affected had corrupt Microsoft Office 2013 Pro Plus Click to Run installations and for some the system restore did not fix this and we had to re-install office for around 10 users
    SCEP antivirus did not catch any viruses that could cause this, I performed MBAM scans on a handful of machines and didn't find anything either.
    Re-creating start menu shortcuts works
    Happened to two of our companies locations NH and MA, all part of the same domain but different LANS of course. Companies are interconnected by MPLS connection.
    I combed through SCCM to see if anything deployed and found nothing. Currently I have SCUP updates and SCEP updates disabled. I will post a list of Windows Updates that occurred when the issue occurred as well as the SCEP updates. I have read all the threads
    about this types of issues and tried all steps without success. Googling the issue also did not rear results.

    Hi,
    I would like to suggest you try these steps to figure out what could be causing this problem.
    1. Run Troubleshooter
    Open the Search and Indexing troubleshooter
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Search-and-Indexing-troubleshooter
    2. Create a new library and include fewer folders for test purpose. Now search for a file from that folder. See if it works.
    Create a new library

  • Unable to create Menu Item List Buttons in Forms - Not Working!

    Hi guys,
    I need desperate help since I have been stuck on these for 2 days and I am unable to move forward!!
    I am trying to create a pdf form using Acrobat pro 9 and Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES. Since I am new to this, I have been browsing through numerous sites, forums and tutorials to learn about this. So far, I was able to create the forum with text fields, etc.. I am trying to have a column in my pdf form where the users can simply copy & paste image icons here..I was having difficulty with this already and have done numerous searches in google. In the end, I thought I am better off trying to use the "stamp" tool for this instead of image field. So this is what I did:
    1) I already placed the image icons (that the users will be copying & pasting) on my pdfs so users can simply click on it to select the image.
    2) I added a new bottom to this form which has the short cut to the menu item "copy" function. I labeled this button as 'Copy' and to this button, I added the following javascript for "Mouseup":
    app.execMenuItem("CopyFileToClipboard");
    3) Next I created another button that I called 'paste' and this button executes the "Paste Clipboard Image as Stamp Tool" menu. This button has the following javascript:
    app.execMenuItem("Annots:Tool:StampFromClipboardMenuItem");
    I thought that after doing the above, the user should be able to click on one of the images in the pdf, then click on 'copy' button and in the end click on 'paste' button that will then run an action so user can stamp this copied image to where ever they want in that file. But this is not happening!! I dont why?? Nothing happens when these buttons are clicked. I have made sure that the "Extended features in Adobe Reader..." is enabled and also tried running the above javascripts on my console window to test it and i know that the actual javascript code is not at fault since these functions works when I try the code through the debugger window. But I just cannot figure out why these menu item functions are not working when the buttons I had created are clicked!!! I dont know if what I have done is correct or if there is a easier way to achieve what I am trying to do!! Its a shame there is no simpler way for the end-users to copy and paste images to the columns in the pdf forms.
    please help me understand why the above button are not working....any help will be great!!

    Hi Paul,
    This is further to our email correspondence. I am just pasting your email response here since it may be useful to other newbies like me:
    "Ok here you go ......I had to add the new row via a script object as the new objects are not completely available until the script ends so I cannot resize the new row from teh current script.
    Then when we resize - we have to resize the row, the cells and the image ....we start with all existing subforms then we do it for the new row that was just added.
    Lastly I see that you have a delete row button. This will have to be part of the row otherwise we ill not know which row the user will want to delete .....unless you ask them (which is not good UI design)."
    I was really impressed the way you modified the script so the table height does not change when new rows are added. That did help me in understanding the methods and it will certainly be v useful to me in the future. I have been practicing and getting a hang of LS and I have actually decided to redesigned my form since it appears that trying to have a fixed table height is quite a bit of work each time a row is added, removed or changed, etc... Your advise so far have been v helpful and it has helped me in redesigned the form into a different layout. So far so good...However, I just have a few more clarifications regarding some hurdles I am facing:
    PS: I have emailed you a sample of my new form now so you can have a look at it.
    1) Dynamic Image fields:
    In this form, I have a subform that has a dropdown list and next to this, I have an image field. I want to change the image based on the selection in the dropdown list. I found a few samples and tutorials on this already and I tried 2 different approach for this. One works and the other doesnt.
    Method that works: What I have done here is, I added all the images in the form and have put their presence to invisible. Then using the javascript, I am making the image visible based on the selection in the dropdown list. I found this method somewhere through googling and it works.
    Method that doesnt work: Its similar to the above, but instead of putting all the images in the form, I just inserted 1 image field and then tried to change the url of this dynamic image based on the selection in the drop down list. But this method is not working. I tried inserting this jscript and nothing happens:
    switch (this.rawValue)
    case "1":
    myImages.value.Image.href=http://www.mysiteaddress.com/blah_blah.jpg;
    break;
    case "2":
    myImages.value.Image.href=http://www.mysiteaddress.com/blah_blah2.jpg;
    break;
    The 2nd method does not work. Although I know the method 1 above works and I am currently using it, I am just curious to find out why the 2nd method is not working? Did I get the script wrong or is this feature no longer allowed? I just thought that if the second method works fine, it saves the hassle of putting all the images on the form and then making them hidden. Instead, I just need to put one image field and then dynamically change its image based on the selection. I hope this make sense..please advise..
    2) Changing the background colour of the Dropdown list box:
    I am trying to change the bg colour of the listbox in the dropdown list object (only the listbox bg color and not the whole background color). So, I added the following script to the mouseEnter event and this works:
    var vName = this.somExpression;
    var fieldObj = xfa.resolveNode(vName + ".ui.#choiceList.border.fill.color");
    fieldObj.value = "255,255,225";
    My Problem: The above script works so I dont need to change anything there. But, I also want to add another script to the mouseExit event to change the fill color to its default once the mouse leaves the dropdown lists. Initially, this field has no fill colour and the border fill style is none. The fill color is only added during the mouseEnter event. How do I change the bg color fill back to none during mouseExit after the above script is executed on mouseEnter?
    (NOTE: If you see my form, I have used the above scripts for the dropdown list only in "boxSubform[0]".)
    3) Changing the length of the Dropdown List box:
    I only have about 1.6 inches workspace to add this dropdown list box. However, the length of some lists (list items) in this dropdown list box is actually longer and the remaining part is cut out. So, I added the following script to increase the dropdownlist length and it does not work the way I would have hoped...
    The script I have written so far:
    I added these to the mouseEnter event and it works fine -
    form1.pageSubform.dynamicSubform.Table1.Row1.boxSubform[0].MyDropdown::mouseEnter - (JavaScript, client)
    this.w = "2in";  //this is to to increase the width of the dropdown list
    I added these to the mouseExit event and it works fine too-
    form1.pageSubform.dynamicSubform.Table1.Row1.boxSubform[0].MyDropdown::mouseExit - (JavaScript, client)
    this.w = "1.625in";
    When I tested the form with the above script, this is what happens:
    1) First when you move the mouse over this field, the width increases. Similarly the width decreased when you move away.
    2) So, even if this is clicked, the list box is opened with this 2inch width so thats good.
    3) There are no problems when the mouse is moved over these list items as well. However, this does not look good when the dropdown list item is clicked with its item lists open and then the mouse leaves this area. In this case, as soon as the mouse leaves this area, the mouseExit script runs and hence it makes the drop down list width to shrink eventhough the list items are still open. How do I resolve this? I was thinking about this and I thought the possible way to overcome this is by writing a javascript for the mouseExit event executing something like this:
    if this dropdown list is open,
    then  this.w = "2in";
    else
    this.w = "1.625in";
    I am not sure how to write a jscript for the above?
    (NOTE: If you see my form, I have used the above scripts for the dropdown list in "boxSubform[0]".)
    4) Hiding the alternative row shadowing for hidden columns:
    If you check out my form, you can notice that I have put the "close" button (button to delete table rows) on the left column and I have also put its presence to "Visible (screen only)". The parent table has got the 'alternative row shadow' checked. What I notice here is, when this page is printed, eventhough the first column's presence is set to "Visible (Screen Only)", it still prints the row shadow for this column and it looks bad. How can I fix this? Any help will be great!
    I have already emailed you my new form again so you can have a look.
    Thanks again Paul and I cant thank you enough for your help. I am sooo happy to see such a great support and resources available here since it can be a nightmare for some newbies like me... :-)

  • Create Menu items from table data?

    Wondering if anyone knows of a way(if even possible) to create menu items on logon from table data where the menu data is stored?

    You'd have to make the menu code generic as well - probably the bet bet would be to have each menu item calling a common procedure but passing in the menu item selected - you'll then have to cross reference that with the current function of that menu item and do the right thing.

  • Interactive Report - Add a 'custom' Action Menu Item

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if it is possible to add 'custom' Action menu items to an interactive report?
    I have a situation where I want to use all the richness that an interactive report gives with it's out of the box functionality, then if a download is selected I need to be able to set a 'lock' on the currently selected records set before the records are downloaded.
    I've had a good look around the forum and various other sites and I can't seem to find anything in this area. The nearest I can find is on the OBD tutorials the ability to add a 'Reset' button.
    I know how to create custom download functionality, to which I could add the required record locking functionality and in turn link to a button, but what I don't know how to do is pull out the selection variables from the Interactive Report in order to construct my select query.
    Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree and there's a better way if so any suggestions would be most welcome.
    Many thanks in advance Peter..

  • Help menu items not available Logic Pro 9

    I think this problem occured after upgrading to Mavericks. When I use the help menu in LogicPro9 and click on the most relevant keywords that I have typed I am presented with a dialog that indicates: "The selected topic is currently unavailable. The topic you were trying to view could not be found."
    I think this may be related to Spotlight not being indexed properly. After having problems re-indexing Spotlight I finally realised that in order for Spotlight to re-index correctly I had to add my permanently installed SD card to the Spotlight Privacy eclusion list. Instead of Spotlight taking 5+ hours to re-index a fast SSD it now did it in about 10mins.
    I am now confident Spotlight has re-indexed successfully.
    But the help menu items are still "unavailable"
    OSX 10.9.1
    MacBookPro Mid 2012
    Logic Pro 9.1.8

    I'm still putting this question out there to anyone who can help solve this problem. After trashing the Logic Pro9 App from the Finder>Applications I visited the Mac App Store and under the Purchases icon I re-installed Logic Pro9.
    The Help menu is still returning:
    "The topic you were trying to view could not be found." when clicking on the suggested returned results in relation to my search keywords.
    I know there are better resources out there but I find it handy to use the help menu instead of reaching for a book or website/weblink.
    Eventually I will switch to Logic Pro X but as Lennar Digital is still finalising their 64Bit version release of Sylenth (popular soft synth)  I will wait until that is completed later in the year.

  • Viewing more than 9 Forms from the Window Menu Item

    Hi,
    I would like to know if you can list more than 9 Forms at one time from the Windows Menu Item before you have to select the MORE WINDOWS option to display the entire list of currently opened forms.
    Can this be set in the .mmb or some config file?
    It would be nice to have a list of about 12 Forms to choose from at one time before selecting the MORE WINDOWS option.
    Christina.

    Hi Frank,
    The Forms version our system uses is Oracle Forms 6i.
    A user would like to know if this scenario is possible during runtime.
    However, I would like to know what modifications can I make during design time to make this possible.
    Thanks.
    Christina.

  • Firefox 18.0.1 Mac OS 10.6.8: "Services Menu" items no longer available, "No Services Apply" only item showing.

    Where have the 'services menu' items gone? How can they be recovered/reinstated? Tried 'reset' ; tried restart -- still no 'services' (e.g. "email address", "open URL").

    Thanks, that answer would SEEM to make sense.
    But I deleted  all the preference files (not just the one you suggest) and restarted , etc... several times.
    End result: Flash CS4 still crashes, if not on opening, then everytime I try to open my old documents and reset the preferences.
    I am currently reinstalling my entire hard drive just to try to get CS4 to work again.
    I have worked with Flash since 1998, using it professionally for everything from short interactive demos to feature length animated films.
    CS4 is without a doubt the most poorly designed, inefficient version I have ever dealt with.
    A great and useful animation program was turned into a piece of bloated garbage filled with bugs and inefficiencies.
    I will switch to the first animation program that comes along to replace it, now that adobe seems to think the only real use for flash is to create low level acton scripts (despite being used for tv show level animation production for years.)
    These forums amply demonstrate that adobe has almost no useful support for its products and no real vision or idea of what it is doing.
    The fact that you can no longer even export flash as a quicktime movie that actually accurately plays is another nail in the coffin.
    I wish somebody at Adobe cared.
