Dialog box buttons appear out of order

Hello,
I am developing my app using a Firefox browser & Windows. I have a Javascript pop-up dialog box with OK and Cancel buttons (appearing in this order, OK button to the left of Cancel). When I run my app using Firebox & Unix, sometimes the button order shows up as Cancel and then OK. This has lead to people clicking the wrong button because they are used to seeing the OK button to the left of the cancel button. Is there something I need to do so that when my app is run on a Unix box that the buttons appear consistently with the OK button to the left?
Thanks, Laura.

Has anyone else experienced this behavior?

How to change gtk theme dialog box button appearance when using tab?

Hi,
I'm using candido as my gtk theme and have noticed that when a dialog box pops up (Yes / No), it is extremely difficult to tell which option is highlighted. How do I change this appearance? I searched through the gtkrc and even used gimp to manipulate the images used via trial and error to see if I found one that worked. Can someone familiar with gtk themes tell me which gtkrc or image to alter to affect this appearance?
I use tab to select my option a ton and hate not being able to tell what I'm looking at.
For reference,
- here is the current look (can you tell which one is highlighted? It's "Cancel" -- just slightly bigger or a fine line around it) LINK
- here is the gtkrc if that helps? LINK
For one more point of clarification, I'm not talking about the button appearance on mouseover. I have identified that the button-prelight.png file changes that. I specifically am talking purely about a dialog popping up and then using the tab key alone to highlight through the options. I really like this theme, but this one thing drives me crazy. This appearance changes when I select different themes with lxappearance, so I've narrowed it down to being a gtk-theme issue, not my openbox theme or icon set.
Many thanks!

HI,
Debug the program after you press the CANCEL button , you will get where the conrol is flowing , And instead of using
Leave to screen '910' use Leave to screen 0.

How do you get the text box text properties dialog box to appear on a MAC?

how do you get the text box text properties dialog box to appear in Adobe Reader XI on a MAC? I know windows is Ctrl-E but can't figure out what to hit for Mac.

Right-click the toolbar and you should find it there (including the short-cut, which is probably Cmd+E).

Add Image to a Conformation Dialog box button

Hi All,
Ho to add Image to a Conformation Dialog box button?????
2. How to put <b>X</b> (to cancel) at right upper corner of dialog box.
null

Hi ,
It would not be possible to add images in it. Use dialog boxes instead.
Create a view ... add an image UI element ..use imgSource as ~sapicons/image name or paste the image in src/mimes/components/ur comp name and give that for source.
You can create linktoaction.. and on its image property add an image for X and put that in one corner of the dialog box. and execute cancel action. when its clicked..

Print Dialog box wont appear when "Print Pages" from Bookmarks Window

When I use the "print pages" option from the Bookmarks window the pages are sent directly to the default printer with the default settings. How do I get the print dialog window to appear if I select "print pages" from the Bookmarks window so that I may modify the print settings?

I wasn't aware that you could get the print dialog box to appear after dragging a supported file to the alias, regardless of where it resided. I've never seen this happen on 10.4.x or 10.3.9 so I tested the Option key and found it didn't force the dialog box to appear either. Tried a few others keys also but no luck in getting the box to appear.

Firmware update 4.1.9 dialog box buttons?

I am trying to resurect my daughter's slot loading iMac after it was trashed by the infamous firmware bug. Before I found about this, the PRAM was zapped and a full system reset was performed, leaving the iMac in the situation where when it was turned on, after a few seconds it shut itself off. I have used the Giles Kenneday solution to disable the internal monitor and now the iMac doesn't shut down, but the image produced on the external monitor is so bad I can barely make out anything. I can boot up into OS 9.2.2, have the firmware update icon on the desktop and am ready to do the firmware upgrade 4.1.9. I have gotten past the license agreement screen, but the next dialog box has four or five buttons that I can't identify, so I don't know which to click on to start the upgrade. I've tried the one on the far right but it didn't work. Can anyone who has completed the 4.1.9 Firmware update, or is about to do it, please tell me which button on this screen starts the process? Also where is the button on the next dialog box that causes the iMac to reboot? I have been unable to find screen shots of these boxews anywhere.
Slot loading iMac G3 Special Edition Mac OS 9.2.x

Mauro, all, and anyone experiencing blank screen problems with a slot loading iMac,
First (and most important) I have been finally able to repair the problem using a combination of the ideas presented by Giles Kennedy and the additional encouragement from Mauro. For those who encounter a slot loading iMac that either has no screen display OR shuts down automatically a few seconds after booting there is HOPE. There are several messages in this forum describing a problem similar to the one I experienced. I suggest that those encountering this read Giles Kennedy's excelent article at http://www.gileskennedy.com/panthereatsimac and mirrored at http://www.capecodgraphics.com/imac_firmware.htm. Note that this problem existed in several levels of severity. I had to go the entire route, obtaining an old mac floppy drive cable, bridging four conductor of the internal video cable, and doing an almost blind firmware update, but it can be done. Your problem might be easier for repair.
Second - Although all reported instances of this problem have been assodiated with attempts to install some version of OSX, My daughter's iMac failed while running OS 9.2.1. She swears that no attempts were made to install OSX... so it appears that these problems may be more extensive than previously reported. I suggest that anyone running an iMac under OS 9.2 immediately do the 4.1.9 firware update to avoild the problems I experienced.
The entire process I went through was too extensive to report here, but the final steps that brought succes will be found in my insertion in portions of Mauro's post below:
J Evans,
In the process of installing Firmware update there is
not a dialog with 4/5 buttons, I have checked with
Resedit. What do you see is an artifacts of the
screen. The Agree/OK/Update are ALWAYS on the right,
the first on on the right.
Actually the first screen presented after launching the updater (the license agreement) does have four dialog buttons. I still don't know what the others are.
I cannot remember if the DEFAULT button is the
Agree/OK/Update but, have you tried to use the
keyboard "RETURN" in place of the mouse ???
Although using the Return button to accept all defaults did not work with the battery and bothe memory cards installed, it DID work with the battery removed and only one memory card in place.
Before I found about this, the PRAM was
zapped and a full system reset was performed, leaving
the iMac in the situation where when it was turned
on, after a few seconds it shut itself
off
iMac thinks that there is a fault in the CRT or its
circuit board (the PAV - Power/Analog Video - board)
and shuts itself down after about 7 seconds.
You might try removing all the memory, the Airport
card (if present) and the logic board battery, and
leaving for 24 hours. Reset the PMU, replace memory
(one card only, in a different position from before),
and plug in mains power. You are now ready to
power-on the iMac using the button on the front. boot
from the HD as normal
The fault that the old firmware "thinks" it detects can be overcome using the floppy drive cable/bridge four connections solution described in the Giles Kennedy article. If the internal cable is kept in place, the iMac will continue to shut itself down during the boot process.

CS6 Save/Save As dialog boxes not appearing

I recently installed CS6 Master Collection (educational version, if that's relevent) and in many of the programs, I can't save. In Illustrator, Dreamweaver and After Effects, I will get the spinning wheel for a moment and then nothing happens. In Photoshop, I will get the wheel for awhile before a message pops up saying "Could not complete your request because of a program error." This happens whether I use the key command or go through the File drop down menu.
If I try to exit out of the file, I will be prompted to save or don't save, but if I click save, it will just close the window and not actually save the file.
However, I have no issues saving in Indesign or Flash. The print dialog box will also appear in the trouble programs. I also have CS5 on my computer (only ai, indd, and ps) and I can save in these programs without issue.
I am operating on a MacBook Pro version 10.7.5, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3.
Thanks for your help.

Black border around dialog box, buttons, and everywhere

It's just started behaving bit crazy. Suddenly black borders started appearing everywhere with Leopard. I have tried to restart the machine a few times but no luck. They appear with OS dialog boxes, around buttons, Safari, Most of the applications, text fields and everywhere.
Please help if anyone has a solution. Thanks

I think the issue is caused by the Apple Voiceover Utility. Part of its function for the visually impaired is to highlight the button or text item that it is going to speak. i suggest you turn off Voice over either going to System Preferences -> Universal Access and Making sure that voiceover is turned off. Alternatively press Apple(Command) F5 to turn it on & off. The black rectangles should go away. If you want voiceover but not the black rectangles. You can open the voice over utility and change the settings to the text is still spoken but without the highlighting.

When Web Publishing, how do I get dialog boxes to appear?

I am trying to make my Test Station software accessable from the engineers desk. I used LabVIEW version 6.1 to publish the main VI. I can, through Microsoft Explorer, access my VI and change enumerations. I need to allow the users to enter excel spreedsheet file names that contain the input data and expected results for the test. Currently my software uses the File Dialog to prompt the user for the file name. I also use Two Button Dialog and another VI's front panel to gather information at specific points during the test. The File Dialog box is the first one within the flow of the software and it does not work over the internet. Do you have any recommendations on how I might be able to allow the user to enter
a file name similar to the File Dialog?

The problem here is that the OS is bringing up the file dialog, but for
which computer? Asking computer B to show the directory structure of
computer A just doesn't work that well and it is also a potential
security lapse, so for these reasons, the VI Server doesn't do this by
default for the remote panel.
To let the remote client pick a directory, you have a couple choices.
If you trust them and they are easy to type, you can just present a path
control partially filled in and let them type the last portion.
Another, more limiting approach is to use the file function to list out
a directory and populate a listbox with the contents. This is an easy
way to give less control to those that you may not trust as much, but
still give them something similar to a file dialog. Finally, if you
look around, you can find a more complete simulated file dialog. I know
that the older test executive had one. You won't have to change
anything as it will be running on the server and displaying on the
client, just what you are looking for. Perhaps you will want to look
around on develop zone for something like
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/explprog.nsf/6c163603265406328625682a006ed37d/893644426b21c704862567b700720c06?OpenDocument
which I haven't look at, so no promises, but there are probably others
to choose from as well.

CS4 Program Dialog Box Buttons Unclickable

I am running Windows Vista 64-bit and just installed and updated Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium. It seems that I am unable to use my mouse buttons to click on anything that pops up in a dialog type box (other than the X to close it) in all the programs in the suite (premiere, soundbooth, etc.). The mouse works fine in what I will refer to as the work area. I can navigate the dialog boxes with the tab and enter keys of my keyboard but it's kind of annoying. Anybody come across this before with CS4 or Vista?

Bob and Dov,
Thank you for your quick responses to my post. I was just using generic windows drivers apparently so I took your advice and downloaded and installed Vista 64 bit drivers for my Logitech 470 optical mouse. The new drivers didn't seem to make a difference. I have done some more testing. What happens is when I first open Premiere, I can click anywhere on the buttons at the 'Welcome to Adobe Premiere Pro' and they seem to work as expected, except I have to be at the lower right corner to click the new project button. All the buttons on the next screen 'New Prject' seem to work fine. If I click OK a dialog box 'Save As' comes up and I cannot mouse click anywhere to get the Yes or No buttons to respond. I can continue on if I hit tab, then enter. At the 'New Sequence' screen I cannot click in the area to change the name of the sequence, the OK button works fine, and if I try to click on the cancel button it scrolls the area on the lower part of the screen down instead (the area with setting information in it). I also cannot click on the scroll bar in that area. Once I mouse click OK past that everything in the work area seems fine to click with the mouse. Even bringing up boxes like preferences and such from the drop down menus seem to work fine with the mouse. A similar thing happens in Soundbooth. I haven't checked all the programs out but it's pretty weird and seems to at least span more than one program in CS4 but not affect every pop up box. I haven't noticed any similar issues with any other programs I'm running.

How to disable the "GETTING PLAYLIST" dialog box that appears in Radio

In itunes radio playlists, I click on a station and a message appears in a box, centered on the monitor screen that says "getting playlist" along with a blue striped status bar. I wonder if I can get rid of this annoying thing.! Because I know it is getting the playlist; I just clicked on a station. Why do I need to have this box sit on top and in the middle of my other applications?
Is there some genius out there who knows an answer?!

I don't think there's anyway to disable it, I just minimise iTunes or click on another application's logo while it loads. I agree with you as to it being annoying, but I don't think there's anyway to disable it. In my opinion it should just do it in the background without the dialog box...!

How to force SAVE/OPEN dialog box to appear in IE? (save output locally)

Hi all!
I currently have various reports in Excel format outputted in cache via the iAS browser.
Is there a way to programatically force a SAVE/OPEN BOX to appear in IE whenever my output is spreadsheet/excel? The prompt box appears on Firefox and Opera but not in IE, i take it that IE has already been 'configured' to open excel spreadsheet automatically in the browser.
Another spin to the question is: How do end users save the Reports output directly to their local machine; instead of having it opened in the browser or saving it in the midtier server

I found a backdoor solution to this:
at the URL link, i added &mimetype=application, this will force IE to show the save dialog box because it does not know what the application type is.

Does not print web page - 'save as' menu appears - unknown problem dialog box then appears. Only recently - does not happen in explorer??

Try to print a webpage or selection therefrom.
When 'file'- 'print' selected on Mozilla tabs, it does not work. The print menu appears but when 'print' clicked, the 'save as' menu box appears. When 'save as' is closed a dialog box appears saying 'unknown error while printing'. Cannot print webpage unless from a screensaver (ie whole screen). This has only happened recently (update maybe). Tried on Windows Explorer and all ok

Save PDF File As dialog box not appearing

I am running Acrobat 8 Pro on Windows Server 2008. I'm having a problem with the Adobe PDF printer. When I attempt to print a document to this printer, the "Save PDF File As" dialog box does not appear. The dialog box does open, but it is either hidden behind the running application or is minimized. I have to click the icon on the taskbar to bring the window to focus. This problem only occurs the first time I attempt to print after logging onto the computer. On subsequent print jobs the dialog box shows up fine.

Is there a registry setting or anything that I can set to get rid of the 'Save Scanned File As' box.
No.

Dialog box buttons appear out of order
