Dropdown doesn't work

Hi,
I'm very new to spry and love it's abilities. That said, I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here.
What I am experiencing:
1. buttons with dropdown working.
I have been tinkering with this for quite some time and cannot understand what I'm doing wrong; nor can I undo all of the tweeks I have done.
What I'm attempting to do is:
1. Get a gradiated background for horiz. buttons; and have a dropdown for specific buttons.
2. Have buttons dropdown below the button hovered.
3. Right justified
4. Buttons all the same height.
5. I'd like to change the width of specific buttons, but don't believe it's possible?
Big laundry list...sorry
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Web Dynpro dropdown doesn't work for Adobe Reader 8

Hi All,
I've developed a Web Dynpro project which uses Interactive form.
The form has a dropdown (simple type from WDJ).
The dropdown works for Adobe Reader 7 but doesn't work for Adobe Reader 8 (when I press the arrow to open the list nothing happens).
Do I need to config/install something for supporting Adobe Reader 8?
I'm using J2EE 7.13.
Thanks,
Omri

Dear Omri,
Make sure that you are using Adobe Reader 8.1.1.
Thanks and Regards,
Anto.

Resize JComboBox dropdown doesn't work without customized ListCellRenderer

Based on the forum thread Horizontal scrollbar for JComboBox across multiple look and feel , the following code will work, if only I provide a customized ListCellRenderer (A JPanel with several JLabels).
FYI, here is my ListCellRenderer code [http://jstock.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/jstock/jstock/src/org/yccheok/jstock/gui/ResultSetCellRenderer.java?view=markup]
Here is the code which adjust the drop down list width. The setup instruction is exactly same as the one mentioned in forum by Kleopatra
    private void adjustPopupWidth() {
        if (this.getItemCount() == 0) return;
        Object comp = this.getUI().getAccessibleChild(this, 0);
        if (!(comp instanceof JPopupMenu)) {
            return;
        JPopupMenu popup = (JPopupMenu) comp;
        JScrollPane scrollPane = (JScrollPane) popup.getComponent(0);
        Object value = this.getItemAt(0);
        Component rendererComp = this.getRenderer().getListCellRendererComponent(null, value, 0, false, false);
        if (rendererComp instanceof JXTable) {
            scrollPane.setColumnHeaderView(((JTable) rendererComp).getTableHeader());
        Dimension prefSize = rendererComp.getPreferredSize();
        Dimension size = scrollPane.getPreferredSize();
        size.width = Math.max(size.width, prefSize.width);
        scrollPane.setPreferredSize(size);
        scrollPane.setMaximumSize(size);
        scrollPane.revalidate();
    }However, when come to a JComboBox, without explicitly provided it a list cell renderer, the above code will have NPE being thrown at line
       Component rendererComp = this.getRenderer().getListCellRendererComponent(null, value, 0, false, false);
       // Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
       // at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicComboBoxRenderer.getListCellRendererComponent(BasicComboBoxRenderer.java:94)Hence, I modify the code as follow and hoping it will work.
    private void adjustPopupWidth() {
        if (this.getItemCount() == 0) return;
        Object comp = this.getUI().getAccessibleChild(this, 0);
        if (!(comp instanceof JPopupMenu)) {
            return;
        JPopupMenu popup = (JPopupMenu) comp;
        JScrollPane scrollPane = (JScrollPane) popup.getComponent(0);
        Object value = this.getItemAt(0);
        //Component rendererComp = this.getRenderer().getListCellRendererComponent(null, value, 0, false, false);
        Component rendererComp = this.getRenderer().getListCellRendererComponent((JList)scrollPane.getViewport().getView(), value, 0, false, false);
        if (rendererComp instanceof JXTable) {
            scrollPane.setColumnHeaderView(((JTable) rendererComp).getTableHeader());
        Dimension prefSize = rendererComp.getPreferredSize();
        Dimension size = scrollPane.getPreferredSize();
        size.width = Math.max(size.width, prefSize.width);
        scrollPane.setPreferredSize(size);
        scrollPane.setMaximumSize(size);
        scrollPane.revalidate();
    }No more exception being thrown this time. Just that my dropdown list doesn't resize at all when I have a long String. It remains normal size as usual, with horizontal scrollbar being shown to catter the long String.
Is there anything I had missed out?
Thanks

Yes. The problem solved. Out of curiosity, is it necessary to have statement? As I remove it, it just work as well.
scrollPane.revalidate();I include SSCCE for this problem.

Dropdown doesn't work in IE

I inserted a Spry dropdown menu on my website, but as the
menu appears at the bottom of the page, I want the submenu to
appear over, rather than under the main menu. I have changed the
orientation, and it works beautifully in Firefox and Safari.
However, when I just had someone look at it IE, they said it was
behaving unpredictably. Only showing up for a moment, and then
disappearing when they hovered over it. I tried a fix suggested on
the Adobe help page, and now it shows up at the bottom of the page,
and still has the other issues.
This works in Firefox, Opera, and Safari. However, Internet
Explorer inserts a space between the submenu and the menu bar, so
you need to adjust the bottom value in step 3 by creating an
Internet Explorer conditional comment inside your page, and placing
it after the link to SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css like this:

Did I insert it in the wrong spot? How do I make it drop-up
predictably in IE?
Thanks in advance for your help...

It looks like you didn't define the VISITED state of the
link. And make sure
they're defined in the order: link, visited, hover, active to
make sure they
work properly.

Views dropdown on list view web part doesn't work

Thank you very much beforehand for any help with this issue, I really can't figure out what is going on.
So, I have big list (36125 items and about 25 public views there) and view selector on list view web part just stopped respond there couple of days ago. You click on down arrow and nothing happens... There are no any java script errors in browser console,
there are no any errors in ULS log. Profiler shows that request even is not sent to server when you click it to get list of views.
At the same time, this web-part works correctly with other lists on this site.
Do you have any ideas?

Hi,
I understand that the view drop down doesn’t work for a specific list. Can you browse these publish views by manually change the view name in the URL? There are two view drop downs in the ribbon(one under the List tab and one under the browser tab). Are
they all not working?
It is a big list, you need to make sure that there are no more than 5000 items in a single view. Only 8 lookups can be added to a view at the same time. You need to make sure that these thresholds.
For more information about these thresholds, please refer to this site:
Manage lists and libraries with many items:

Mouse doesn't work in dropdown windows

I can click on the menus in the command line with my mouse, but once the new window opens, I have to use my tab key, arrow keys and Enter key to navigate within that window. The mouse simply doesn't work.
I'm running Windows 7, and working, of course, in the Cloud version of InD.
Thanks for the help.

Country list dropdown search by first letter doesn't work for some countries in the list

Hi,
We have this issue with the country list search in Travel Request with the drop down list when user is trying to choose the country by entering the first letter say C for Canada (finds Canada in the list) it works for the countries from A to O and doesn't work from P to Z.
It is NW7.31 portal
What seems to be the problem ?

Hi Denis
Get them to take a look at this wiki page:
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/x/2oQCFQ
It lists the latest notes for your basis version and the notes are usually cumulative which means if you apply the latest notes, it will bring in the pre-requisites and earlier notes too.
Hope it helps you Denis.

Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App Doesn't Work Windows 8.1

The Creative Cloud Desktop App doesn't work on my PC running Windows 8.1. As shown below, no apps appear and the settings dropdown does not function with either left or right click. I have tried to uninstall, reinstall, change the name of the OOBE folder, connect directly to my cable modem by passing my router, removing all internet & firewall protection and I am unable to download any CC apps that I do not have on my PC. I have been updating existing apps from the help menus in the apps and have not used the CC app for downloads for a long time so I do not know when the problem started, but it does not work now. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Automatic updates are also not working.
Thanks,
Barry

Turning off "Enable Protected Mode" in the Security Tab of Internet Properties allowed the Creative Cloud Desktop App to function properly. I am still looking for a better long term solution that does not put my computer's security at risk.

Scrolling with trackpad in bookmarks doesn't work

As per the title.
Scrolling within a list of bookmarks doesn't work. Scrolling in a drop down menu doesn't work either. Has anyone experienced the same and found a solution?
Scrolling works fine on pages in Firefox but not within bookmarks.
Scrolling through bookmarks in IE9 works fine.
I have the Flash/Youtube issue too but I'm guessing its not related.
Thanks.

Same problem here on two different HP laptops. I really hope Mozilla can fix this problem, maybe in collaboration with HP. It must have something to do with HP's hardware customization. HP do their stuff their way and customers suffer. I've had no such problem on any other laptop and they were all using Synaptics touchpads.
I have lots of Bookmarks and it is really annoying to wait for them to scroll automatically with the cursor placed over the little arrow bar at the bottom of Bookmarks dropdown list. If you use an external mouse, you can scroll through Bookmarks with it just fine, so the problem is with the touchpad.

Page Setup dialog doesn't work

Hi everyone
My generic Page Setup dialog box as e.g. used for Word etc. doesn't work:
In the Page Setup dialog, the "Setting" menu doesn't work at all, i.e. I can see the dropdown but it doesn't accept my changes (it's fixed on "Page Settings"). All other menus or choices are accepted but then the "OK" button doesn't work; it just flickers briefly and then goes back to blue. The "Cancel" button makes all contents of the dialog box disappear except for the frame and the buttons. Either way force quitting and relaunching the application is the only way to continue working in the application.
What could be the issue here?
A few specs on my hardware, printer and system:
- MacBook Pro (brand new)
- OS X 10.5.5
- Printers: hp LaserJet 4200 (main printer), iP5200R, OKI B6200, Lexmark E321. All these printers I used without problems with my old PowerBook G4.
The problem occurs with all applications using this generic Page Setup dialog, such as Word, Grab etc. In Excel e.g. all these functions work (it uses a different kind of dialog box for the page setup).
The problem could possibly have started to occur when the Lexmark printer could not be installed automatically so I assigned it another Lexmark driver, which seemed to work. But I'm not sure whether those two problems occurred at the same time.
What I tried already:
- uninstall and reinstall all printers in the Print & Fax part of the System Preferences. I uninstalled all printers and (without restart) reinstalled the hp printer only. The problem was still there, even upon restart.
- reinstall Word (first I thought it was a Word problem)
Any ideas??

Hi,
Try to increase the size of repeating frame, as I follow this strategy in my report find the outermost repeating frame and increase its size to whole page than increase the size of your required repeating frame if you want to break page on this group, no need to set max record and page break properties(as I saw page break property never works).
Thanks.

Css navigation doesn't work in IE

I used the directions on this site,
http://htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/,
to help me create navigation using css that would be compatible
with IE However it doesn't seem to work, when I load it in IE I get
"errors on page" and the drop down menu doesn't work. It seems to
work fine in firefox. Here's the page
http://whatcom-mrc.wsu.edu/mrc_base.htm
Is this a problem with my css or the javascript. Any help
would be appreciated.

Been there, done that burnt the T-shirt.
Although the suckerfish drop-downs look really good I got
into the same sort
of mess that you did. Found this newsgroup, took their advice
and now use
the menus at www.projectseven.com. Free to use their
tutorials or
reasonably-priced ready-made.

How do I delete items in my calendar when it doesn't work when I hover them over the trash can?

How do I delete items in my calendar when it doesn't work when I hover them over the trash can?

There are several ways
     - Selecting the event and hitting the "delete" key on your keyboard (as Wayne Contello said)
     - Selecting the event and opening the "edit" dropdown menubar item, and then selecting "delete"
     - Selecting the event and right clicking, then selecting "cut" (this option puts the event on your clipboard)

Find Topic Doesn't Work for Priorities

In the Topic List pod I want to Find Topics by priority but it doesn’t work. Here’s what I’m doing:
1.      Ensure at least one topic has a priority of ‘1’.
2.      Click on the Find Topic icon and select the Advanced tab.
3.      Enter a string in the File Name Includes field (e.g., reports) that returns a set of Found Topics that include the topic I have set to priority ‘1’. At this stage, I can see in the Found Topics that it is actually priority ‘1’ (see first image below).
4.      Change the priority dropdown to ‘higher than’ and leave the corresponding text field set to ‘5’.
The result is ‘No topics found’ (see second image below).
I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I’m using RoboHelp 9.0.0.228.

That works!
I was thinking that 1 was the highest priority when the filter was just working on a simple numerical value.
Thank you!
