Default selection color

Need some help with the following:
Meshes in an 3D annotation are selectable, clicking a mesh changes it's color. double clicking a mesh selects all meshes in the annotation and draws some kind of wire frame box around all meshes in the scene.
I want to:
A: disable / remove the 'selection' color when I click a mesh.
B: I don't want any selection / wire frame box when I double-click a mesh.
Thanks in advance!
W. Zwiers

Did you want to disable just the color, or selection completely? There is "runtime.overrideSelection = true" to disable selection, then you can use mouseEvents to track what is clicked.

How to get the default selection color from JTable

Hi, there,
I have a question for how to get the default selection color from JTable. I am currently implementing the customized table cell renderer, but I do want to set the selection color in the table exactly the same of default table cell renderer. The JTable.getSelectionBackgroup() did not works for me, it returned dark blue which made the text in the table unreadable. Anyone know how to get the window's default selection color?
Thanks,
-Jenny

The windows default selection color is dark blue. Try selecting any text on this page. The difference is that the text gets changed to a white font so you can actually see the text.
If you don't like the default colors that Java uses then use the UIManager to change the defaults. The following program shows all the properties controlled by the UIManager:

Any of the properties can be changed for the entire application by using:
UIManager.put( "propertyName", value );

How can I change the 'selected' color of one JToggleButton only.

Hi,
This seems like a simple / trivial question, but I just can't figure it out. Is there a way that I can create a JToggleButton and change the selected color of only that JToggleButton.
I'm trying to create a simple sidebar like component for navigation within my app. A group of JToggleButton[s] added to a ButtonGroup (with the proper layout / sizing) works great, but the default JToggleButton colors don't suit my needs. I know that I can change the colors using the UIManager / UIDefaults, but I don't want to change the defaults for every JToggleButton in my app. I only want to change the defaults for a few select JToggleButton[s].
For example, I can do this:
UIManager.put("ToggleButton.select", UIManager.getColor("Table.selectionBackground"));
UIManager.put("ToggleButton.background", UIManager.getColor("Table.background"));but I'd rather do something like this:
JToggleButton jtb = new JToggleButton("Toggle Button Text");
jtb.setSelectedColor(UIManager.getColor("Table.selectionBackground"));
jtb.setBackground(UIManager.getColor("Table.background"));The only thing is, I can't find any method that is the equivilant of 'setSelectedColor(Color)' for JToggleButton.
I know I could do it by adding some listeners to the JToggleButton[s], but that seems a little complicated for something like changing a color.
I'd also seen a solution in the forums where someone had extended the ButtonUI of the pluggable look and feel they were using. I'm not interested in modifying the look and feel I'm using. As far as I'm concerned, that would defeat the purpose of having a pluggable look and feel as I would have to duplicate my efforts for every look and feel I want to use.
Any help would be appreciated,
Ryan

How to get "Selected" color for custom toolbar buttons?

RH 8.0.2.208
RoboHelp HTML
WebHelp output
I'm getting flack from internal QA folks about the custom toolbar buttons not having the same "selected" color as the default buttons (Contents, Index). I've copied the background color info from the <btnselected></btnselected> section for the built-in Contents to the <btnselected></btnselected> section for a custom toolbar button, but RH is ignoring it.
Any hints?
Leon

You could try using the raw converter. Open one file and edit it (File>Open, pick the image and choose Camera Raw as the format before you click Open). Then open the next image and click the little four-lined square on the upper right side of the ACR window and choose Previous Conversion from the flyout menu.

Y Axis label color inherits Pen color and not the default Label color.

Hi,
How do I enforce my Y Axis Label to taken the default color specified in the iChart Y-Axis Label Color property instead of picking it from the Pen color selected from the legend? I have a Y-Axis Label called "Total Stock", I can very well change the Label text using method
document.TestChart.getChartObject().setYAxisLabel("Label from code");
But when I use a similar
document.TestChart.getChartObject().setYAxisLabelColor(Color);
property, I dont see the color change on the screen. But when I get the color using a getYAxisLabelColor() method , the specified input Color is set. My Label in the Y-Axis, always inherits the Pen color of the selected Legend Item, by default the first Item color on Page Load.
Settings done in the iChart:
Use Selected Pen for label : Unchecked
Y Axis Label Color: #000000
Y Axis Label : Total Stock
Show Y Axis Label: Checked.
I appreciate your help,
Ajitha

Jeremy,
I tried the method you mentioned...
document.TestChart.getChartObject().setYAxisLabelColor(document.TestChart.createColor("#000000"));
But I still dont see a change in the Label color.
Another finding is, when I try to alert the Label color on load of the page or during the creation of the applet, I see the label color on the alert is not the pen1color but the default Label color that is set in the display template. I assume that the legend's default selection, overwrites the Label color with the first pen color, but I could not get it with the getYAxisLabelColor() method, even though I see it on the screen.
Thanks!
Ajitha

Change the default highlight color

In the previous version of Acrobat, you used to be able to select a default color for highlighting. I use color-coded highlighting a lot and I can't find a way to change the default highlight color in Acrobat DC. It looks like the only choice I have is to change the highlight color of each highlight individually. Where did the highlight color preference go?

After changing the color of a highlight right-click it and click "Make current properties default".

Problem with the default selection screen condition

hi guys,
I have got some problem with the default screen given by the PNP logical database, P0000 infotype automatically populated according to the condition given in default screen.
Reg,
Hariharan

Don know what u r trying to acheive.
1) when u have specified PNP in the logical databse field of attributes of program, the SAP wil proivde u default PNP screen and here u can also add ur paramters if u want.
2) in the program u have to declare like
INFOTYPES: 0000,0001. "Etc
for all the infotypes u want to use in the program.
3) it is the GET PERNR event which wil fil all the p0000 and p0001 (internal tables for al the infotypes declared via INFOTYPES syntax as shown above)
4) after tht get pernr, u now have data in P tables and u can use it for further reporting.
5) refer below dummy code -
REPORT ZPPL_PREVEMPLOYERS   message-id rp
                             line-size 250

User,
You don't need Javascript to do this. Have a read of section 18 of the Oracle Web user Interface Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework (found [url http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11/doc/b31973.pdf]here for information about creating a custom skin. Unfortunately, the documentation for the selectors to use, which should be in a JDev help topic titled, ""Selectors for Skinning Fusion's ADF Faces Components" doesn't exist yet :( However, you can check [url http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/adffaces/11/doc/skin-selectors.html#]here for that information.

Changing Selection Color in Word 2013

When working with Word 2013, when I want to select a word or sentence, anything really, I often have trouble seeing exactly what I am selecting. I think this is because the page is, of course white, but the selection is only a very light grey.
To be clear, I am not talking about highlighting, that is a different feature. When I select text in the box I am writing in now, for example, the text is highlighted in blue and the text turns white. In Word, however, the text remains black and
the highlight is a light grey. Even in changing my brightness settings, it remains almost impossible to see. Is there a way to change the color of the selection?

JTabbedPane selection color

is it possible to change the default JTabbedPane selection color? (light gray)
It doesnt seem to give you the ability to set a Renderer

If altering the UI for your JTabbedPane is an option for you then this becomes pretty easy, just override the "paintTabBackground" method of BasicTabbedPaneUI. This isn't an option for a lot of people though... since that would pretty much limit you to one UI.
Otherwise you will have set the background of the tab manually... the following code is an example of how to do this... unfortunatly... MetalTabbedPaneUI overrides the paintTabBackground method and DOESN'T use the manual backgrounds for selected tabs, it ALWAYS uses the default selectedColor from the UIManager... looks like an oversite to me... anyway... this code works fine with the Windows Look and Feel...

JTable - DefaultTableCellRenderer overrides selection color

According to the Api Docs, the setBackground method of the DefaultTableCellRenderer class should only "assign the unselected-background color to the specified color". In fact, it also seems to set the selection color: each cell with a DefaultTableCellRenderer which changes the Color does not get highlighted when selected. Even if I set the value to "null" no selection is visible.
The same problem happens with setForeground ...

In the 'How to use Tables' Java tutorial the default renderer's constructor has the following:
setOpaque(true); //MUST do this for background to show up.
Could this help you?
Is the highlighting of the cell in any way tied to the cell editor as opposed to the cell renderer?

Photoshop CC selective color UNDO BUG

this sucks!
doesn't work even through history tab
my hardware?

any ideas?

i had this issue too.
press CTRL + K
or go to edit -> prefrences -> general
go to performance section
and press the DEFAULT button
and assign a scratch disk (c:) for example
press ok
restart photoshop and you're done probably
well that worked for me though.

I receive the error "The Selected Color Format is not supported" when I try to scan from my HP Office Jet Pro 8610.

I receive the error "The Selected Color Format is not supported" when I try to scan from my HP Office Jet Pro 8610 using Adobe Acrobat Pro 11. I recently purchased the printer. I believe I ame using all of the defaults. How can I correct the problem?

Hi,
Both printer and computer seem to be on same network.
Please download and run the following utility to troubleshoot on the issue.

Drop Down List - Setting the Default Selected Item

I have a drop down list in my application that gets populated by a remote database. When you select an item from the list, a screen full of thumbnails is populated based on the selection. We have decided that when the user gets to this component in our air application, that it looks too empty and barren. All that displays is a drop down list with an empty screen. So we would like to set a default setting for the drop down list so that when the user gets to this component, a screen full of thumbnails is awaiting them and they can change it if they want. My first instinct was just to set the selectedIndex property of the drop down list to the value that we want as the default, and that works, but it only changes the label in the dropdownlist, it doesn't actually populate the screen with the thumbnails. That is because when an item is selected, it has to be commited to the drop down list by a CLOSE event that then sets off the close handler that populates the screen with thumbnails. So after looking at the documentation, I found that there is a method called closeDropDown that states the following:
closeDropDown
method
public function closeDropDown(commit:Boolean):void
Close the drop-down list and dispatch a DropDownEvent.CLOSE event.
Parameters
commit:Boolean — If true, commit the selected data item.
When I use this method, nothing happens. In fact if I add a listener for the CLOSE event, the close event isn't getting fired. So I am a little befuddled. The only thing that I can figure is that I am setting the selectedIndex and not the selectedItem before I call the closeDropDown method, and if you look above, the documentation vaguely states that that "If true, commit the selected data item". Do I need to set the selectedItem and not the selectedIndex? If so, I am not exactly sure how to do this since I am using a service to populate my drop down list which kind of makes the dataprovider a little unclear to me in the code because it gets replaced by an AsyncListView. Here is what I have.
<fx:Script>
     <![CDATA[
        protected function dropDownList_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void{
          getAllAudio_descriptionsResult.token = audiodescriptionsService.getAllAudio_descriptions();
          getAllAudioResult.token = audioService.getAllAudio();
     private function audioDescriptionsCallResponderHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
          audioDesc = event.result as ArrayCollection;
     private function audioCallResponderHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
          audio = event.result as ArrayCollection;
          audioDescDropDown.selectedIndex = 2;
          audioDescDropDown.closeDropDown(true);
     ]]>
</fx:Script>
<fx:Declarations>
     <s:CallResponder id="getAllAudio_descriptionsResult" result="audioDescriptionsCallResponderHandler(event)"/>
     <audiodescriptionsservice:AudiodescriptionsService id="audiodescriptionsService" fault="Alert.show(event.fault.faultString + '\n' + event.fault.faultDetail)" showBusyCursor="true"/>
     <s:CallResponder id="getAllAudioResult" result="audioCallResponderHandler(event)"/>
     <audioservice:AudioService id="audioService" fault="Alert.show(event.fault.faultString + '\n' + event.fault.faultDetail)" showBusyCursor="true"/>
</fx:Declarations>
<s:DropDownList id="audioDescDropDown" x="43" y="65" width="185" height="34" fontFamily="MyriadProSemiBold"
                    fontSize="15" skinClass="skins.VideoSkins.Video.DropDownSkin"
                    color="0xE6E6E6" selectionColor="0x054F7C" rollOverColor="0x007CBA"
                    creationComplete="dropDownList_creationCompleteHandler(event)" labelField="audioCatName"
                    itemRenderer="renderers.DropDownList3" close="DDLAudioCloseHandler(event)">
     <s:AsyncListView list="{getAllAudio_descriptionsResult.lastResult}"/>
</s:DropDownList>
I would really appreciated hearing from anyone who has experience or insight into setting a default for a drop down list and actually forcing it to execute that default selection. Any thoughts at all would be helpful. Thanks!

I don't see your close handler in the code you posted, so if you provided it and I missed seeing it, please forgive me. I'm a bit unclear on why the open and close of your dropdown list is so critical to your functionality. It seems to me that the page of data would be tied to the item selected in the drop down (which to my mind is the only purpose for the drop down to be there). So why do you first need to open and close the drop down, rather than just taking the selected value and doing whatever you'd normally do with it to populate that page?
What I'm getting at is that I'd expect that page to be a separate component that would just have a property for the selected "thing", and that you could populate it either manually, as I suggested, or through the close handler on your drop down--I wouldn't think that there should be a need to go through the close handler every time. Even if you don't have it implemented the way I'm thinking, you may want to think about whether you need to go through the close handler every time, or whether you could break it out so that the close handler simply determines which item to select, then jumps to another function that actually does something with the selected value. That way, you don't have to go through the overhead of opening and closing the drop down if you need to change its value programmatically.

Change Highlight Selection Color

The default color when a cell or item is selected is a light cyan. On my computer it is very hard to discern text because the light cyan highlight color and the white text run together. How can I adjust the highlight/selection color so that text is legible?

The selected item color is actually determined by your OS. To change it in Windows XP:
Right click on your desktop
Properties
Appearance Tab
Advanced
Item Drop down: Chose "Selected Items"
Change the color to whatever you like

Default selection color
