Custom popup menu + graphic ring

Hi,
I have two questions.
1) Could anyone give me an example how to create my own popup menu by
clicking the right mouse button over an item.
2) Does anybody know how to disable the border an the background of a
graphic ring item. I what to display different transparent gifs and now
the border is very disturbing and there should also bo no visible
background(-color).
thanxs,
Max

1. An article on this was in LTR some time ago, check it out at:
http://ltrpub.com/insideltr/articles/article_27/article_27.htm
There has been some discussions and examples of it here as well though, check out the last entry (I think there are others here too, just search for contextual menu or po-up menu):
http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RPAGEID=135&HOID=50650000000800000084640000&UCATEGORY_0=_49_%24_6_&UCATEGORY_S=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_TIER_0=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_TIER_S=0&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_0=contextual+menu&USEARCHCONTEXT_QUESTION_S=0
2. Color the border and background transparent. Just choosing background color and foreground color to be transparent and then using the paint tool does not work though, instead - hold the paint too
l over the border, right click to get the color palette, move the cursor above the T (transparent) then press F...and then B, now the border should become transparent. Paint the background transparent...After doing everything transparent this way - import the pictures into it.

  • Custom Popup Menu in Fireworks 8

    Hi there,
    I have been trying for about a week to create my own custom
    popup without using the popup wizard. I would like to do this
    because I want to make it transparant and add a little bit more to
    it. Anyway, I cant seem to make my menu stay put while I rollover
    the button it disappears. How do I make the menu stay put while I
    rollover the button? I have made many popups in Flash but id really
    like to do it in Fireworks 8. I was told it may have something to
    do with using a hotspot, but Im not real sure how to go about it.
    Is this possible? If so please help me out.

  • Press Alt to popup Menu Toolbar, Click on a Custom Icon and the item does not come up AND the Tool Bar closes

    Options-->Menu Bar is Unchecked(off) (so, TABS are at the top of the screen):
    Press Alt to popup Menu Bar, Click on a Custom Icon and the item clicked on does not come up -and- the Menu Bar closes.
    So, Alt->Popup Menu Bar->Click a Custom Icon does not function properly.
    see Troubleshooting Info below-->

    First off if you have Firefox4 you probably also have an earlier version such as firefox 3.6.15 installed. By default firefox installs these in slightly different locations, but it leaves it up to you to create a separate profile for each version. The profile is where firefox stores data and settings. I am not sure that firefox explains this clearly, but you will run into problems if you do not have a separate profile for each version of firefox. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Testing_pre-release_versions
    To try to get the toolbars working correctly, after you have ensured you have separate profiles in use for each version ( the following action will make changes)
    # use the restore default set from the customise / customize toolbars dialogue
    # if that does not work then
    #* use [safe mode] and the option [X] reset toolbars and controls

  • Customizing the right button popup menu?

    I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to customize the right click popup menu in/for Labview.
    I am build a vi with a graph on which you can right click, bring up a menu, select an item, and the graph will display a cursor at that location with the label you selected from the right click popup menu.
    I would be grateful for any insight you might have into this.

    Hi,
    I've a toolkit for this. It draws popupmenu's (at least on
    Windows95,98,NT,2000).
    The trigger can be anything (it's a boolean), so if you can catch the right
    mouse button (using the events structure), you can create a popup menu above
    it.
    Sorry, I can't mail it to you, because of the no.email... Drop me a mail,
    and I'll send it to you.
    Regards,
    Wiebe.

  • Application wide popup menu for JTextComponent descendants

    Hi!
    I'm working on large project with reach Swing GUI and I got stuck with one small but wery annoing problem. I have to append simple popup menu to all text input fields (JTextComponent descendants) in whole application. I'm realy lazy to append mouse listener on each component, so I'm asking, is there any way to append "default" popup menu for all components. Please, don't answer about custom components instead of Swing plain JTextComponent descendants - it's worse to change classes for all fields then add mouse listener to them.
    As an example of what I want I could forward you to UIManager.put() method, which affects all properties of component behaviour thoughout application. I want to find same solution, maybe there any registry or smth. else in API.
    Than you in advice.

    You could always try extending something like MetalTextFieldUI so that it adds the listeners to the text field automatically. You'd then need to register that UI class with the UIManager at startup:
    public class MyTextFieldUI extends MetalTextFieldUI {
      protected void installListeners() {
        super.installListeners();
        // TODO - Install your listener here
      protected void uninstallListeners() {
        super.uninstallListeners();
        // TODO - Uninstall your listener here
    UIManager.put("TextFieldUI", MyTextFieldUI.class.getName());Personally, I think you're just being lazy... getting your components to extend a subclass of JTextField should be no trouble at all and will leave you with clearer code.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do you determine custom popup size ?

    RH9/Snagit 10
    I am inserting hyperlinks to graphics in a popup window and trying to get the popups to appear without scroll bars.
    the graphics are all roughly the same size (gui screen caps) and will be viewed internally on the same sized laptop screens.
    I tried auto-sizing but the resulting window was too small.
    I have tried custom popup, but no matter what size i make the image in snagit or when i import into RH, the screen cap does not fit in the popup and there are scroll bars.
    is there a formula i can follow to figure out what size i should make the image/popup.
    thanks

    I found that the best idea is to let Firefox decide that itself.

  • Problem with fireworks popup menu in dreamweaver, has a huge box.

    hi, i made a popup menu in fireworks, and when i open that
    html page in dreamweaver, there is a huge white box around the
    popup menu area, so that i cant type anything under the menu or
    anywhere near it. i was wondering how i get rid of this white box.
    any help greatly appreciated. thanks. derek
    here is the code

    You have Dreamweaver, which is a wonderful and powerful
    program for building HTML. So
    why are you trying to build a navigation menu in Fireworks,
    which is a graphics program? Please. I beg you! Save yourself hours
    of headaches: create your graphics in Fireworks and your HTML in
    Dreamweaver.
    For example, this code would be impossible to maintain.
    Here's one of your navigation items:
    img src="untitled-4_r2_c2.gif" alt="" name="untitled4_r2_c2"
    width="98" height="48" border="0" id="untitled4_r2_c2"
    Do you even know which image this is or which link it's
    intended to take? Create your images with decent names like
    "contact.gif" or "products.gif" so you can write clear code.
    The first row and the first and last columns of your table
    have 1-pixel spacer gifs. Fireworks always puts in spacer gifs. If
    you're not aware of them, and take them out, you might get to later
    stages of your development process and wonder why you couldn't get
    your navigation menu to line up with everything else.
    As for that "big white box," it's a combination of the div
    the table is in and the 100% width on the table:
    div id="FWTableContainer1329034333
    table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100"
    I have no idea what the div CSS is doing, but if I comment it
    out and take out the 100% width attribute on the table, then I get
    something that behaves more reasonably. FWTableContainer1329034333
    isn't in your code, but it still does something in my system, so
    either the long strings of numbers don't matter or it's coming from
    some place else and who knows what it is.
    My point is, that by letting Fireworks write bad code for
    you, you've set yourself up with something that doesn't work and is
    extremely difficult, if not impossible, to debug and maintain. Why
    would you do this to yourself?

  • WebView -  text copied with Crtl/C or Popup Menu not in system clipboard!

    Dear JavaFX users,
    We have embedded JavaFX WebView in a Swing panel. Everything works fine, but we have realized that text selected and copied with Crtl/C or Popup Menu is not in the system clipboard.
    This is quite annoying, and we woulld appreciate any advice or suggestion for solving this issue.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Fireworks Popup Menu in Dreamweaver

    I created a pop up menu in Fireworks that includes a few
    submenus. When I put it in Dreamweaver and post - some pages are
    okay. But for some...the arrow that points to the submenues is
    replaced with an X. As if the graphic is missing. What's going on?
    And any suggestions on how to fix it? I've tried everything. By the
    way - the popup menu is part of a template.
    Here's an example of the problem:
    http://www.salkeiz.k12.or.us/districtcenter/schools/index.htm

    > And any suggestions on how to fix it?
    This is an education site? If so, you really should be
    cognizant of
    accessibilty and usability issues. (of course, one should
    always be aware of
    that, but especially important for public sector sites).
    Alas, the menus
    that DW and FW create for you are complete and utter crap.
    The bottom line
    is: do not use them.
    Instead, consider one of these:

  • Can you create a custom dvd menu with Premiere Elements 12?

    I am giving this software a trial before deciding whether to buy. Is it possible to create your own custom DVD menu? I understand that you can "download" a template and customize it to some extent. But the customizing does not seem to allow you to delete or add elements, like graphics or menu buttons. I want to be able to delete graphics/menu buttons I don't want, as well as add or subtract buttons as I need for each project. Or, I would like to create a menu from scratch.
    Is either method possible in Premiere Elements? Thank you for any assistance.

    Kanten
    Thanks for the reply.
    You can go with a one main menu set up and use main menu buttons. But, note that there are typically far less buttons on the main menu than on the scene menu. One maneuver is to switch the main menu with the scene menu to gain a buttons per page advantage. That is done by reversing the file names of the main menu .psd and scene menu .psd.
    At the editing of the .psd level, there is also the choice to add more buttons per page to a scene menu and create text or thumbnail scene buttons.
    One of the principles to keep in mind...no one movie in a multi movie Timeline can have its own Scene Menu page.
    Of concern....you should have more flexibility than
    In any case, I have discovered that I can edit the templates and then bring them into my project. So long as I save them as the same name, Adobe Premiere Elements doesn't realize that anything has changed.
    Are you following any one of my blog posts. If so, please let me know which one so I can focus in where you may be overlooking some detail. It is best to work with copies of the original and place them in appropriate folders in the directory structure. In doing that I give the user created menu a new name to distinguish it from the original.
    And, in versions 11 and 12,  I do not like to save user modified menus in the Online Folder. I prefer the location where the disc menu installed with the program is located. See blog posts.
    If your customization does not require the opening of Layer Sets in the Layers Palette of the .psd file (happens under certain plans), Photoshop Elements can do the .psd edit job for you, and you do not have to go to Photoshop CS or higher. There are Photoshop actions that might be used in Photoshop Elements to open Photoshop Layer Sets (as found in the disc menu .psd files), but I will not get into that right now.
    Please review and consider. And, then we can go into more details.
    Thanks.

  • Display Popup menu on pen hold

    I've written several separate apps for PDAs that we've been using for awhile now. There is a new need to copy and paste data between these multiple applications.
    While I can get this working simply by using buttons, I'd rather go with a more elegant approach, something like displaying a drop-down menu when the user holds the pen down on the Textfield.
    These textfields are custom extensions to Textfield and therefore it's easy to capture this logic once, problem is I can't get a popup menu to display. I was trying to use MouseListeners, etc. but that doesn't seem to do anything.
    FWIW, we run our apps on CrEme 3.25 and have these apps written in AWT.
    Thanks.

    Well, I could find no way to have a pen hold down to trigger a popup (the isPopupTrigger() method didn't work, checking for BUTTON3_MASK didn't work) so I implemented a customized version using a threaded timer.
    Thanks.

  • Cutom colors to popup menu

    Hi all, I need to install custom look and feel for my popup menu,
    the following code works fine most of the time but still it turns back to the default colors some time, can any one tell me why this behaviour.
    Also when a menuitem is selected a grey line is appeared below the selection I want to change that color too
    Thanks in advance, below is the code I am using
    UIManager.put("MenuItem.background",
                        oStyleReader.schemeMenuItemBackGroundColor);
          UIManager.put("MenuItem.foreground",
                        oStyleReader.schemeMenuItemForeGroundColor);
          UIManager.put("MenuItem.selectionBackground",
                        oStyleReader.schemeMenuItemSelectionBackGroundColor);
          UIManager.put("MenuItem.selectionForeground",
                        oStyleReader.schemeMenuItemSelectionForeGroundColor);
          UIManager.put("MenuItem.font", schemeMenuItemFont);
          UIManager.put("PopupMenu.border", oStyleReader.schemePopupMenuBorderColor);
          UIManager.put("PopupMenu.background",
                        oStyleReader.schemePopupMenuBackGroundColor);
          UIManager.put("PopupMenu.foreground",
                        oStyleReader.schemePopupMenuBackGroundColor);
          UIManager.put("Separator.highlight",
                        oStyleReader.schemeSeparatorHighLightColor);
          UIManager.put("Separator.shadow", oStyleReader.schemeSeparatorShadowColor);
          UIManager.put("Separator.background",
                        oStyleReader.schemeSeparatorBackGroundColor);
          UIManager.put("Separator.foreground",
                        oStyleReader.schemeSeparatorForeGroundColor);

    the following code works fine most of the time but still it turns back to the
    default colors some time.you would need to post a working sample program that demonstrates the behavior,
    along with instructions on how to achieve "back to the default colors some time"
