Cursor placement in a GUIBB / Focus Request

Hello
Is it possible to place the cursor in a particular field within a GUIBB? We have the requirement what our application has to support this.
In WDA one can set the focus via the interface IF_WD_VIEW and its method request_focus_on_view_elem. Does FPM support this as well?
Regards,
Mathias

Hello Ulrich
That's a pity But can you please confirm that I'm not able in a Feeder Class method to access the IF_WF_VIEW interface somehow?
Regards,
Mathias

Focus-requests when switching tabs in JTabbedPane

I have a tabbed pane with a JTextArea in each tab. I would like to switch focus to the corresponding area each time I select a tab or create a new one. A ChangeListener can detect tab selections and call requestFocusInWindow() on the newly chosen tab's text area.
For some reason, the focus only switches sporadically. Sometimes the caret appears to stay, sometimes it only blinks once, and sometimes it never appears. My friend's workaround is to call requestFocusInWindow() again after the setSelectedIndex() calls, along with a Thread.sleep() delay between them. Oddly, in my test application the delay and extra focus-request call are only necessary when creating tabs automatically, rather than through a button or shortcut key.
Does the problem lie in separate thread access on the same objects? I tried using "synchronized" to no avail, but EventQueue.invokeLater() on the focus request worked. Unfortunately, neither the delay nor invokeLater worked in all situations in my real-world application. Might this be a Swing bug, or have I missed something?
Feel free to tinker with my test application:

Did you ever get everything figured out with this? I have a similar problem ... which I have working, but it seems like I had to use a bunch of hacks.
I think the problem with the mouse clicks is because each event when you click the moues (mousePressed, mouseReleased, mouseClicked) causes the tab to switch, and also these methods are called twice for some reason - for a total of 8 events giving the tab the focus instead of your textarea.
This works, but seems aweful hacky:
     class TabMouseListener extends MouseAdapter
          private boolean switched = false;
          public void mousePressed( MouseEvent e ) { checkPop( e ); }
          //public void mouseReleased( MouseEvent e ) { checkPop( e ); }
          //public void mouseClicked( MouseEvent e ) { checkPop( e ); }
          public void checkPop( MouseEvent e )
               if( e.isPopupTrigger() )
                    mousex = e.getX();
                    mousey = e.getY();
                    int index = tabPane.indexAtLocation( mousex, mousey );
                    if( index == -1 ) return;
                    tabMenu.show( tabPane, mousex, mousey );
               else {
                    if( !switched )
                         switched = true;
                         e.consume();
                         int index = tabPane.indexAtLocation( e.getX(), e.getY() );
                         if( index != -1 )
                              tabPane.setSelectedIndex( index );
                              TabFramePanel panel = (TabFramePanel)tabPane.getComponentAt( index );
                              if( panel != null ) panel.getInputComponent().requestFocus();
                    else {
                         switched = false;
                         TabFramePanel panel = (TabFramePanel)tabPane.getSelectedComponent();

When type Japanese characters they appear not at cursor place. How to solve?

Hi,
There is some troubles at Japanese text input. When start to type Japanese (or Chinese) characters they appear not at cursor place, it's very inconvenient for using. How could it be solved?
Some screenshots done in demo TLF site http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/textlayout/demos/
Regards,
Ann

It would be strange if this would be the desired behavior. The problem is - the position of the "input box" on the screen is changing and is not even predictable.
I am using Windows XP.
Here it is in one position
Here I clicked on the Font drop-down - so now I have the position there, and whatever I do, it stays there.
Unless I click on Data sourse drop-down - then I have it there
This input box does not return to the editor, although after hitting Enter I do get the characters at the place of the cursor.
But it makes it basically unusable for japanese and some other languages - if there are any other controls in the application, the input box moves to them if I click there, and does not return. Besides, in many cases it overlaps already inputted text, which is very inconvenient for the user.
Where is this input box supposed to be by design, I wonder? And how do I keep it there?
Another question - is the support for inline input planned and if so, when?

Cursor placement in a Reply

Something that's always bothered me is how Apple Mail places the cursor directly above the quote line when replying to a new message, as below:
*+(cursor is here)+*

This would automatically provide a space of separation between the quote line and where I begin typing. Most email clients already do this...hoping there's a fix for Apple Mail. Thanks for any suggestions.

Actually there is a way to do this other than the way you've described it, don't be so cocky! I've been using this for years and it does exactly what you are looking for. The only problem is that it no longer works under Lion. If anyone can figure out an update to this solution I'd love to see it! Here it is exactly as I found it worded:
When you reply to a message, Apple Mail quotes the text of the message to which you're replying after a line like "On May 4 2005, at 5:16 PM, John Doe wrote:". For some reason, though, Mail puts a blank line after that line, separating it from the quoted text, and skips putting one before it, so it's right under the cursor and ends up run in with your typed message. It's weird and ugly! To fix this from the Terminal, type this:
sudo vi /System/Library/Frameworks/Message.framework/Versions/\
B/Resources/English.lproj/Delayed.strings
Change the line that reads:
"REPLY_ATTRIBUTION" = "On %1$@, at %2$@, %3$@ wrote:nn";
to this:
"REPLY_ATTRIBUTION" = "\nOn %1$@, at %2$@, %3$@ wrote:\n\n";
Then you'll probably have to restart to clear the system's cache and have the changes take effect.

The Proper Place to Submit a Feature Request

This is a beta forum and will be closed at the terminus of the beta. The best place to post a new feature request or to check if one exists already is here: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
There are places to discuss and vote (and more importantly accumulate votes). It is populated with team members as well as gurus. More importantly-it survives after this forum closes.

You may think it the proper place, but the software used on the Photoshop family pages is simply dreadful.
If you want people to participate over there then make it more user friendly.
It’s also impossible to sign in with an Adobe ID unless your screen name starts with a letter of the alphabet.
Very disssapointing.

Avoid focus request from JScrollPanel while tabbing

hi, i have a JTable into a JscrollPane and some compos outside.how can i jump from table to compos without double tabbing. setFocusCycleRoot(false) didn't work.
Whats wrong?

Couldn't say for sure, but if you wish to avoid something from gaining the focus in the tab order you use:
java.awt.Component c.setFocusable(false);
It should work on a JScrollPane as jScrollPane is decended from java.awt.Component.

Is there a place to formally submit feature requests?

2) to allow for changing the sound alert within the Gmail app

Cursor focus needs to be in address bar in new tab

Hi,
It's been a couple of weeks since I've had this problem, and I can't seem to solve it.
Firefox automatically updated to version 24 and ever since, when I open a new tab, either with Ctrl+t or by pressing the + sign, there is no focus of the cursor, nowhere, while before, the focus was in the address bar. I want to have that back, since it is extremely annoying to always have to move my mouse cursor to the address bar and click it.
I haven't changed anything, tried reinstalling, tried the costum new tab add-on, but nothing works.
So if anyone here is able to help me out, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Yes, that happens with the about:newtab page. You can press the F6 key to set focus to the location bar.
You can change the browser.newtab.url pref to about:blank to get an empty page with the cursor in the location bar.

Changing cursor focus

Hi,
I have a custom 6i form. When I use the FIND button to pull up a new instance of the form, the when-new-block-instance trigger on the first block doesn't fire coz the cursor actually never left the focus on the block. How do I ensure that the trigger fires everytime I open up a new form.

Prabhojot,
what do you mean with "pull up a new instance of the form". Is it a call using open_form, call_form or new_form?

Focus on DropDownByIndex

Hi,
I would like to set the cursor on a DropDownByIndex, i'm using : view.getElement(<<ID>>).requestFocus();
The problem is :
When the list has no selection (setLeadSelection(IWDNode.NO_SELECTION)), the focus is working fine.
But when the list has a value selected, i can't get the focus on the list.
Has anyone had the same problem ?
Thank's

hi..
requestFocus() is inherited from IWDViewElement.
It works for the other IWDUIElement objects that I've used it on... it's really strange that it doesn't work on IWDDropDownbyIndex objects.
i have just tried on IWDDropDownbyKey objects so that I can request focus on them and i am able to do it ....
But the same is not working for IWDDropDownByIndex....
I dont know exact reason why its not working for index
Following is what documentation says
"If there is more than one such UI element, then it is undefined which UI
element is chosen. It is also undefined which focus request wins if there
are several ones. The request may silently fail, but is guaranteed not to
throw an exception."
Refer this links which have the same issue

Where can I make a feature request?

I have a feature request for the Chat feature of Thunderbird. My request is simple, when double-clicking on a user in an IRC channel, I think it should open up the "conversation" associated with that private message and give it the focus. Currently, it simply crates another "conversation", but leaves is in the background. Where is the current place to make such a request?

Actually you can have them off for low temp..at least for mine.
I am actually using an LED strip in the case fan 2 plug
I have the Z97 Gaming 5.. and in the bios I have the smart fan setup once it hits 40 it lights the led, but then min is 50% (I wish it could be less!) then as the temp increases, it gets brighter.
At idle, the led is off...
would be really nice if the case fans had the option for 20% like the cpu..
So have you looked at the bios fan settings?
waiiit... I wonder if I could connect it to the CPU fan 2!!! then it can be as low as 20% lol

Feature request: Monitor, manage IE - CPU usage

I was wondering if this is the right place to make a feature request. As it happens when surfing with IE, having many tabs open, pretty quickly CPU usage can reach 100% even on multi core system. Presumably some website manage to run out-of-control scripts
in the background.
The real problem is now that I cannot tell which tabs produces which CPU load. All that task manager shows is the IE process with the tabs and the overall CPU usage for the process.
Regarding monitoring it would help to identify the tabs (website) which cause the heavy load. This could be added to task manager.
Further, to manage the tabs it should be possible to either start each tab in its own process
or perhaps better, have the ability to put unused tabs in 'hibernation' causing all scripts to pause there.

Hi,
you can post 'feature' requests to the IETeam at
http://connect.microsoft.com/ie
Task Manager in current windows versions lists all IE Tab processes.... Sort the process list by cpu usage to identify hungry tabs.
Typically high cpu usage is caused by
Web browser addons, incorrect browser settings (use gpu instead of hardware rendering) and flash or poorly designed websites or missing updates to your windows or third-party software. You may like to try running your browser in noAddons mode to see if that
makes a difference in cpu usage.... and also ensuring that you have enabled Windows Updates and that your computer has the latest updates from MS, Adobe etc.
MS has no control over what addons a user has or installs on their machines.
Post consumer questions about IE or windows to
http://answers.microsoft.com (Help>Online Support menu). Include with your questions the full links to any websites that you are having issues with....
Always... the first step in troubleshooting web browser issues is to test in no addons mode.

I have taken all the records in to a cursor. Once after rounding the request of 1st rank and adjusting the values of next rank is done. Trying to round the value for 2nd rank as done for 1st rank. Its not taking the recently updated value(i,e adjusted value in rounding of 1st rank).
This is becoz of using a cursor having a value which is of old value.
Is there any way to handle such scenario's where cursor records gets dynamically updated when a table record is updated.
Any help really appreciated.

Changing Decimal Places in CUNI

hello,
my company's requirement as of the moment is to increase the decimal places being displayed during service request for Activity Unit (AU). current setup is 3 decimal places. we need it to at least 10 to ensure almost exact computation.
i tried changing the decimal places in TC CUNI, but it wouldn't let me proceed. Per error message the ISO code for AU is similar with PC, which is PCE. Upon checking in DEV, PC has no ISO code, but it has in PRD (PCE).
1. how do i go about the ISO code error?
2. what is the impact of changing the decimal places now that the system is live for 8 months now? will it affect existing POs?
3. if it is no longer advisable to change the setup, how will we dispose the difference between the billed amount of contractor against the amount generated during GR/IR and MIR7?
thanks in advance, gurus.

thank you for your inputs, Jeevan. we've tried up to 100,000 since any more will make the PO exceed the original contract amount.
the contract involved will be delivered in a span of many months, and billing and payments will depend on percentage of completion.
i hope someone can enlighten me as to how other companies do it, best practice or not. i'm pretty sure those in construction or property development will find this case familiar. or maybe point me to an article or anything.
thank you for taking the time.
