Edit mode pixel coordinates

Hi all:
On one computer I get the size of controls shown in a little pop-up at the bottom of the computer window as I'm resizing a control in the edit environment. On another computer I don't. I can't seem to find in the options menu how to turn this on. I'm using LV8.2
Thanks
Robert

rberger,
Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing? I've not heard of what you're describing in LabVIEW outside of the ActiveX property Browser.

Problem with window repaint and scrollbars in edit mode (LabVIEW 8.0.1)

I am running LabVIEW 8.0.1 in Windows XP SP3. For my main VI, I ran into a strange problem about 5 months ago. The front panel window - in both edit mode and run mode - stopped repainting itself on the right side which is most visible when you scroll up and down, but also visible with overlapping windows. Coincident with the repaint problem, both scrollbars look disabled with greyed-out arrows and no boxes in the bars that you can click and drag to scroll the window. The scrollbars still partially work if you hover the mouse over them and roll the mouse wheel but clicking and dragging doesn't work.
The front panel has lots of controls and indicators including tab-control containers and is larger in the horizontal and vertical directions so both scrollbars should be active. But I deleted all elements on the front panel and everything in the block diagram and the problem persists. So the problem is not directly related to some control/indicator display.
I saved the simple VI with this problem (using a wide text line and a tall rounded box to test), then created a new VI and copied the two elements to the new VI. This new VI does not have the repaint and scrollbar problem. The two VIs differ slightly in memory usage and in revision number (the bad one is revision 1785 and the good one is revision 3), but otherwise the two VIs are identical. I attached both VIs to this posting. When you first open the bad VI, you'll see the disabled scrollbars whereas the good VI has active scrollbars. To replicate the repaint problem, scroll the window up and down with your mouse wheel. If it's fine when you first open the VI, click on another window, then click back on the VI window and try the mouse wheel again. This clicking-away-and-back always causes the repaint problem for me. I tried the VIs on two different computers both running Windows XP SP3 and LabVIEW 8.0.1 with identical results.
Here's what I discovered from troubleshooting with the simple VIs:
* scrollbars always disabled
* repaint problem in main window for window widths larger then 680 pixels
* repaint problem in main window menu toolbar for widths larger than 646 pixels
* entire window becomes disabled for window widths larger than 1348 pixels
* can repaint window by minimizing and restoring, but only repaints that one time
* scrollbar boxes sometimes flicker into view but then disappear
* scroll left and right by hovering mouse over horizontal scrollbar and using mouse wheel
I found something similar on this forum (thread: Problem with front panel refresh) - it might be related to the CAR about the panel being offset internally. I don't have access to LabVIEW 8.5 or later and don't plan to upgrade - I haven't tried the trial version as that user did. I could try to copy and paste my entire block diagram to a new VI but the VI is so large I'm afraid something would break, plus I don't want this to happen again in a few months. The problem seemed to occur after a certain number of saves (or revision number). I save backup copies often and when the problem first happened, I was able to go back to a previous version, make the missing changes and save it with no problems, but this only delayed the problem and it came up later. So maybe it's the revision number. It didn't seem related to a particular addition or modification in the front panel or diagram.
The image attached shows the repaint and scrollbar problems in the bad VI.
This brings up a question I have - if this problem is a bug and was fixed in 8.5 and later, is there a way to apply bug fixes to earlier versions? Or do I have to pay for an upgrade to fix such bugs?
Solved!

Seems something got corrupted with this VI. Copy things over to a fresh VI and things should be OK.

Retouch brush in Full Screen Editing Mode

Has anyone else noticed that the retouching brush is way too big when you're editing in full-screen mode? Is this a bug? Is there anyway to adjust the diameter of the brush?
Thanks,
Matt

Well, at least I'm not alone. I didn't notice a place to file a bug about this.
Thanks,
Matt
Yeah...I have the same issue. Posted on the other
forum about this. This size of the pixel is about 25
across and when you use the tool, it obliterates the
face or whatever you're trying to retouch. When you
revert to the regular screen it doesn't fix the
problem either.
I did notice that when I first used the tool in the
regular, non-full screen mode, it was fine. Once I
switched to the full screen editing mode, the problem
started and now it won't go away.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 "The editing mode used by this project could not be loaded."

Hello-
I am encountering an issue with my Adobe Premier Pro CS3. I am trying to open up a project that another person has created on a different editing system. When I try to open, it comes up with the error "The editing mode used by this project could not be loaded. The project will be opened in Desktop mode." The next window is a Windows Explorer screen, that wants me to choose a file to open. If I cancel that, it brings up a blank looking project with no timeline or anything?
A quick comparison of systems:
Mine:
HP dc7700s desktop
Windows XP OS
Adobe Master Collection CS3
Hers:
IBM compatible laptop
Microsoft Vista
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
Adobe Photoshop CS3
I have googled the error message, but have not found anything to fix this. I have also verified from Help - About that we have the exact same versions of Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 installed.
I need to be able to view this project on either computer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you!

>project will be opened in Desktop mode
I have never used any non-standard files, but from reading here, desktop mode is used when the video files are not standard... in one way or another, but usually pixel dimensions
What is the codec and properties of the files in that project?
Are you sure they are 100% standard?

After a wedding i have about 2000 photos to edit and it's just fufrustratingo have to toggle each time for a quick fix like auto balance, i have 1G of RAM and i have version 3 and have had no luck.
Thank you for your help. if you have been successful in editing a 12 megapixil file please let me know....

JTextPane edit mode (insert or overwrite)???

How can I know which edit mode (insert or overwrite) is used in my JTextPane?

but I need to have overwrite mode too in my JTextPaneThen why didn't you state that in your original question?
Here is my version that allows you to toggle between both modes:

Can't open photos in edit mode

I can;t open photos in edit mode in iPhoto '08. When I double click on a photo the main window remains blank (no "!" no"?"). This problem occurs with every photo in the library. My permissions are OK. I've also tried setting the preferences to edit in Photoshop but double clicking on the photos then still accomplishes nothing.

Steve:
Do you get a blank white window in the edit mode? If so that may mean you do not have access to the files. Try the following:download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
FYI:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can't view photos in edit mode

Hello,
I just upgraded to iPhoto '08, and while I can view all my thumbnails ok, the photos themselves won't load at all in edit mode.
I was using iPhoto to try to"jumpstart" my iWeb (per my other help request in another topic) when I noticed this.
I have Leopard 10.5.2, iPhoto 7.1.2 and a 1.8 GHz processor and 512 MB RAM in my upgraded G4 tower. I tried deleting the preferences file, rebuilding the library file, opening in another account, etc, with no luck. I had even just erased my hard drive and cleanly re-installed Leopard, etc. with still the same problems in both apps. Do I just need to add more memory perhaps? I can't think of anything else...?Does Leopard require much more memory than Panther (which I had before) to run properly?
Thanks,
Paul

I've had the what sounds like the exact same problem with iPhoto '08. I, too, have an upgraded 1.8 GHz G4 (AGP Graphics) running OS 10.5.3 (although the original installation was 10.5.1 and the same problem occurred before the software updates). When I try to edit a photo, the edit window opens but no picture appears. Clicking on the various editing tools and manipulating them (blindly, on a blank screen) shows that editing is actually taking place, and that changes can be saved.
An earlier post of mine concerned the first problem I noticed since my OS and processor updates; namely, that the DVD player app won't work, but instead returns an error message saying that a valid device could not be found for playback. Several responses to that post seemed to suggest that the ATI Rage 128 video card might be the culprit and that it would need to be replaced. In the past week I've been on the phone or in email contact with tech support people at ATI, Sonnet, Other World Computing, and Apple, the last being the least knowledgeable of all of them, I'm sorry to say.
The Sonnet guy personally runs a computer just like mine, but with the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac video card. That item costs $209 at OWC. But ATI says it won't work because of the G4's 200 power supply.
These folks think that the iPhoto problem would be solved by the new video card -- but I'm not yet convinced I want to spend that kind of money to find out. Most also say that the DVD Player issue would be fixed, although the OWC guy says it has nothing to do with it.
So we're going blind here, with much conflicting expert opinion. I'll keep watching for further discussion.

Unable to open a view in edit mode

Hi All,
I have a Notes assignment block in the Account Overview page. It contains a text area and an EDIT button to modify the notes. Corresponding view and context node for this block are BP_DATA/NOTES and NOTES respectively. Notes context node is bound to Text context node of the component controller.
The issue is, when agent confirms an account, goes to Overview page and clicks on EDIT button of the Notes block, then, if the block already has some text, then it turns in to EDIT mode. But if Notes section is empty initially, then, on click of EDIT button will not make the view editable.
During debugging, I can see that if notes section is already filled with some text, then there is an entity in the collection wrapper of the NOTES context node(also in the component controller collection wrapper). But if notes section is initially empty, then collection wrapper is empty(both view and component controller context nodes).
My requirement is to make the notes section editable even if there is no text present in it initially. It will be very helpful if someone could give me suggestions on this issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Naren

Hi Nitish,
Thanks for your reply. Infact I only coded the event handler. In the first line, I am reading the entity from the collection wrapper of the context node. If it is bound, only then I can set it in EDIT mode.
ob_entity ?= me->typed_context->notes->collection_wrapper->get_current( ).
IF ob_entity IS BOUND.
Sets the view in EDIT mode
Now, ob_entity is null if there is initially no data in the notes section of the confirmed account. However, if notes is not empty, then, ob_entity is bound and I can set the view to edit mode. This is the issue.
Regards,
Naren

How can I open an email file in edition mode?

Hi!
I use a system here in my company that generates an automatic email and prepare it to be sent.
We were using MS Outlook and we have migrated to thunderbird for lots of reasons.
But since it has migrated, the system cannot generate this email in the composition screen.
It generates in the inbox.
Is there anything I can do to change this?
I have made a few tests and I realize that the same thing happens if I save an email file in my computer and
try to open if with the thunderbird. It's supposed to open in edition mode, so the user can send it out, with just one click.
Thank you!

Text Caption appears in Edit Mode but not in Preview Project or Web Browser

I'm using Cp4 and have downloaded Adobe Flash 10 Active X, it's ver 10.1.82.76. I've added a simple text caption with these options:
Timing Display: Rest of slide
Appear after: 2.0 seconds
Transition effect: Fade in only
In: .5 seconds
And Visible is checked
I also have a simple line that I drew with the draw line tool and included an arrow on the end of it.
Everything on the screen works including the click box, the animated text and the failure caption. For some reason the text caption and the arrow are not appearing except in Edit Mode. In Preview Project, they disapper but the click box, failure caption and animated text work fine.
I've rebooted, copied this screen into a new instance of Cp4, re-created these objects on a freshly recorded screen, chosen Order: Bring to Front, created a brand new screen completely from scratch and downloaded the Flash 10 Active X version mentioned above.
They funny thing is, is that the text caption and arrow works fine on other screens in the project. I have 76 screens total.
I'm running Windows XP.
Any suggestions?

Hi there
Can you post a screen capture of what your Timeline looks like?
Odds are your Click Box is pausing in a weird place.

Ctrl+tab is not working in editing mode

I have JcheckBox and JTable in my JPanel. When user clicks or presses F2 to edit any cell value of the JTable a comboBox will appear with possible values. (This comboBox is coming from table CellEditor). When user presses ctrl+tab from the table focus should transfer to JComboBox all time. It is working only when the user presses ctrl+tab from the table cell which is not in editing mode. If the user presses ctrl+tab from the table cell which is in editing mode (i.e. focus is on the ComboBox of the cellEditor) it does not work. Please help me to find the solution.
I give a sample code here for your reference.
public class Frame1 extends JFrame {
public Frame1()
super();
this.setLayout( null );
this.setSize( new Dimension(400, 300) );
JTextField ch = new JTextField();
ch.setVisible(true);
ch.setBounds(10, 10, 10, 10);
this.add(ch, null);
DefaultTableModel tmodel = new DefaultTableModel(3, 1);
tmodel.setValueAt("0 0 1",0,0);
tmodel.setValueAt("1 0 1",1,0);
tmodel.setValueAt("2 0 1",2,0);
JTable custLayersTable = new JTable(tmodel);
custLayersTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).
setCellEditor(new ComboEditor());
custLayersTable.setBounds(new Rectangle(40, 40, 280, 145));
custLayersTable.setSurrendersFocusOnKeystroke(true);
this.add(custLayersTable, null);
public static void main(String[] args)
Frame1 a = new Frame1();
a.setVisible(true);
final class ComboEditor extends AbstractCellEditor
implements TableCellEditor
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table,
Object value,
boolean isSelected,
int row,
int column)
Vector<String> layerValSet = new Vector<String>();
for(int i=0; i<3; i++)
layerValSet.add(row+" "+column+" "+i);
mComboModel = new DefaultComboBoxModel(layerValSet);
mComboModel.setSelectedItem(value);
mEditorComp = new JComboBox(mComboModel);
return mEditorComp;
public Object getCellEditorValue()
return mEditorComp.getSelectedItem();
private DefaultComboBoxModel mComboModel;
private JComboBox mEditorComp;
}

Thanks a lot for your reply.
Since the textField is in a different class i could not use the transferFocus API directly. I tried the following code in the keyreleased event of Combo Box but it was not working.
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().focusNextComponent(
e.getComponent().getParent());
I also tried the following code in stopCellEditing and is not working.
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().focusNextComponent();
Is there any other way to achieve this?

Deleted Items Stay in Edit mode?

When Adding Items to a portal, for instance an Image... and then I want to delete that image... I can delete it so the image no longer shows on the finished page, but the Item still shows in the Edit mode. How do I delete the Item so it no longer shows in Item mode

Assuming that you are using 10g: 
Yes, you can disable this feature. Click on Properties of the Page Group that you want to disable this feature. Go to the third tab Items. 
On this tab you will see 2 options : 
Retain Deleted Items 
Display Unpublished, Expired, and Deleted Items In Edit Mode 
Either enable or disable based on your preferences.
