Editor stuck in read only mode

Am able to connect to a 9i database, but am unable to edit any code. Logon appears successful, connection made, and am able to query the database. However, when I open stored procedures for editing, the edit window doesn't respond to any keystrokes.
The editor behaves as though I were in some kind of read-only mode. However, when I exit the procedure, I am prompted to save "changes".

Logged this as a SR on Metalink and the problem seems to be down to use of colons in my connection names.
I was using a naming convention of
host:SID for accounts connecting as system and
host:SID:schema for accounts connecting as specific schema
Which nicely groups and orders my connections by host. Sadly this prevents edit of stored pl/sql units (package, procedures, functions)

Error when opening XLSX file with Excel 2003 SP3, file does open but in read only mode with temporary name

I am using Excel 2003 SP3 and have the Office 2007 compatibility pack installed. When I open Office 2007 formatted Excel files (XSLX) directly in Windows Explorer, I receive the following error if I do not have Excel already opened:
"Windows cannot find '<path to file>'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."
Even though I receive the error, the file does open; however, it opens in Read Only mode with a name such as "Xl0000024.xls". The number seems to increment up each time it happens.
Now here is the strange part. If I have Excel already open and try to open the file in Windows Explorer, the file opens fine in Modify mode with no error and with the correct file name.
I Googled the error I was getting and found KB211494. It says I should uncheck the box in Options on the General tab that says "Ignore other applications", but this box is already unchecked in my case. Any other ideas? This is
really frustrating as a small percentage of our company has upgraded to Office 2007 with the rest still on Office 2003.

This may be a file association problem. To solve that:
In Windows 7:
1. Right-click the file,
2. Select "Open With"
select [Your Program Here]
3. Check always use this program.
In Windows XP:
1. Locate the file as you have described above
2. Right click the file
3. Select Open with from the pop-up menu
4. Click Choose default program…
5. Select Excel in the Recommended Programs box
6. Check Always use the selected program to open this kind of file
7. Click on OK.
1. Make Excel not available from Office 2007 listed under Programs and Features in Control Panel.
2. Take a registry backup using the steps given here
3. In the registry editor window expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and navigate to .xls right and delete it.
4. Exit Registry Editor
5. Undo Step 1 to make Excel available.
6. Restart the computer and verify it the issue is fixed.

How and Where to change ESS payslip property as READ only Mode

Hi,
We are SAP ECC5.0 and using EP6 for ESS payslip. We have a problem
launching ESS payslip for those employees who have Acrobat Editor and
Reader installed. One can actually change the payslip information via
Acrobat Editor when click onto PRINT button.
However, for those without Acrobat Editor installed in the PC, we do
not have such problem. Please advise how to resolve this.
Was told to change ESS payslip property as READ only Mode. Unable to find this in the configuration setting.
Thanks.

JEditorPane in read only mode

Hi
I have created a JEditorpane in read only mode - setEditable (false)
the problem is the user can still mark the rows of the editor pane.
how can i prevent that?
Thanks,
Liat

Well, setEnabled(false) also works for me, but if your sure it doesn't work for you then you can try:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
public class NoTextSelectionCaret extends DefaultCaret
     public NoTextSelectionCaret(JTextComponent textComponent)
          setBlinkRate( textComponent.getCaret().getBlinkRate() );
          textComponent.setHighlighter( null );
     public int getMark()
          return getDot();
     public static void main(String[] args)
          JTextField textField1 = new JTextField("No Text Selection Allowed");
          textField1.setCaret( new NoTextSelectionCaret( textField1 ) );
          JTextField textField2 = new JTextField("Text Selection Allowed");
          JFrame frame = new JFrame("No Text Selection");
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          frame.getContentPane().add(textField1, BorderLayout.NORTH);
          frame.getContentPane().add(textField2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
          frame.setSize(200, 200);
          frame.setVisible(true);
}

Internal card reader thinks SD card is in "read only" mode??

I just took some pictures with my digital camera which use SD cards.
I then took the card out of my camera and put it into the built in SD reader on my 13" MacBook Pro. (same way as I always do)
However, the Finder thinks my card is in "read only mode" as I can not delete or add pictures on the card. I took out the card and toggled the read-only switch thinking maybe it got stuck or something, and tried it again. Still no luck.
Then, I tried a USB card reader. That reader detected the card, and let me read and write to the card.
This is the first time this has ever happened.
Any ideas why the internal card reader wouldn't anything other then read the card while my USB card reader could read and write no problem?
Thanks,
Scott

I reset the PRAM but it did not help.
I think I found the solution though.
It depends on the way you insert the card.
You can't just slide it in. Rather, you have to push it in a special way (which I can't describe or remember)
So I guess the answer is, if the card comes up as read-only, take out the card, and push it in a different way until to comes up correctly.
I replicated this issue twice so that is why I believe it is the alignment that is the problem.
If it gets any worse, I'll probably have to get the slot serviced but considering I only use the slot once a month or so, its not top priority. Too bad I couldn't just have an extra USB port, or an express card slot - but apparently Apple thinks SD cards are more important...

ITunes stuck in activation only mode

I have been unable to fix this with copious google searches. Computer is running Windows XP Pro SP3.
We are using the appropriate switches to launch iTunes in activation only mode and also to take it back out of activation only mode. I have tried creating separate shortcuts and I have tried doing it from a command prompt window.
iTunes is stuck in activation only mode and won't come out of it. If I log in to the computer with a different user account I am able to launch in normal mode. This problem seems profile related but I have searched the registry and been unable to find a key for iTunes that would obviously be causing this problem. The app has been reinstalled - made no difference.
What is the problem here? I would prefer to not delete the profile that iTunes is "stuck" in if possible. Thanks

How to provide a LINK on normal TEXT field in read only mode

Hi,
I have a TEXT item and that is used for only url purpose.
so a user can enter something like http://www.abc.com in that field.
So when I am in read only mode for that item, I want a link also on that text..
how can I do that.
thanks,
Deepak

You could create a pl/sql expression computation on the TEXT item which will convert the value shown for the field to be a HTML link
'<a href="http:// ' || :PXX_TEXT || '">' || :pXX_TEXT || '</A>';Make the computation conditional using the same condition as is used to render the item as read-only

i am programmatically open a word file for search and highlight keyword. my routine is working fine. the problem is when i am opening the file programmatically then a dialog come and ask me to open file in read only mode. the dialog look like below one
actually i do not want to open the file in read only mode because people can open and like to change and save. so guide me what i can do to not to open the file in read only mode.
here is my full code. just have a look and tell me what is wrong in my code or tell me any trick as a result i can open the file not in read only mode. here is my code.

                GC.Collect();
                GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();

I know it's a very old issue and I reached to this page looking for a solution. Finally, I have found a fix to this problem.
The problem is that we create an instance of Word and do not close it correctly. This makes program believe that the file is already open and hence you're getting the respective message of file being locked by you.
Set the visibility of your application to true and then when you close it both file and instance should close and you will not get the problem again.

I am not able to use Firefox with Sharepoint - I can only open a file in read-only mode and cannot checkout the document and edit.

I would like to use Firefox with Sharepoint.
However, I am only able to open a file in "read only" mode whch means I cannot edit the document and save it. I am also not able to "check-out" a document in Sharepoint and edit it at the same time.

This may not work for everyone, but I solved this problem by clicking on the file name in sharepoint, not the document icon to the left of the name. This then brought up the various options, including checking out, editing, version history etc. It seems obvious but I have only just realised this!

ALV: columns in read-only mode look like editable columns in edit mode

Hi,
My application contains an ALV table which should be toggled between display and edit mode like the rest of the fields.
The evident solution was to use
if_salv_wd_table_settings~set_read_only( abap_true or abap_false)
However, unlike the rest of the fields, when the application changes into display mode and the fields get grey like in any SAP application, the columns in the table which were editable remain white, and those which were not editable and thus grey, get now white, too, instead of the other way round. So it will look to the normal user, as if now all columns would be editable!
Of course, he would realize that they are not when he tries to edit them, but this is irritating.
See following link with screenshots (only active for 3 weeks from now on):
[Link to my webmail space/SDN: .|https://businesswebmail.telekom.at/filestorage/MzYxMTk1OTMx/]
I have looked
through my books ("Einstieg in Web Dynpro for ABAP", "Praxisbuch Webdynpro for ABAP", ...)
through the wiki for Webdynpro for ABAP here in SDN as well as through this forum (by searching with "ALV edit")
through the notes in BC-WD-CMP-ALV
but could not find any solution. Most tables in those PDF articles found here in the WD4A wiki also show white cells although they are probabliy in read-only mode (e.g. the imitation of the SE16N browser article).
The attributes to the LO_CELL_EDITOR for both Inputfields and textview columns contain exactly the same values when toggling between display and edit mode (read-only in table settings), so also no chance to change here anything.
Also changing the cell design is not a solution as there is no design that looks like grey for not editable according to WDUI_TABLE_CELL_DESIGN ([SAP Help - WDUI_TABLE_CELL_DESIGN|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/56/5e9041d3c72e7be10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm].
I do not know if I have made an error, as this is my 3rd Web Dynpro (after the first 2 of the introduction book), or SAP is really inconsistent in User interface between "normal" fields and ALV table fields.
Can you please help me?
Thanks in advance,
Erlend

Hi,
In my application aslo, i have 30 columns out of which 10 are input fields. But, i'm showing the table as ABAP_TRUE incase of Non-editable otherwise to abap_false. Now i'm getting everything as in WHITE cells.
Do you want to show it is Grey mode with Non-editable feature. Is that so.
How many columns are there which has Input fields.
Get the column references.
Now, based on the mode of display create the object as Input or Textview field.
For that column -
If mode eq 'D'.
Create an object for Textview(cl_salv_wd_uie_text_view)
else.
Create an Object for Inputfield(cl_salv_wd_uie_input_field)
endif.
The Append row is a standard button or custom one on ALV toolbar.
Do you want to hide the toolbar or just disable these buttons.
If you want to hide the toolbar then refer my wiki -

How to display the "display values" in READ Only mode for a SHUTTLE

Hi,
I have a form item of type *'Shuttle'* and using the following LOV.
   select DEPTNAME d, DEPTNO r
    from DEPTIn normal mode..it displays the department name and internally store the Deptno..
Now I converted this item to Read Only mode using Read Only Condition Type
the problem is as soon as it becomes read only...it displays the deptno....not the department name
            Department-   10:20:30How can I display the "display values" i.e the actual department name in read only mode..
            Department-   Department1:Department2:Department3Thanks,
Deepak

Hi,
It seems feature. Shuttle is span tag when it is read only.
Work around could be that
you compute display as text item with LOV display value according shuttle session state and show shuttle and this item conditionally depend case

Querying up AR Customer OA page in read-only mode for a Single Customer

We are building a Custom Form in which associated Customer <defined in AR> would be queried up.
Now we want to give an option to the User to view the complete details of the Customer. We would be giving a menu option in Tools 'View Customer' thru which he would see the Full Customer Details. <AR Customer OA page>
We have two requirements
1> The Full Customer Details should show up in Standard OA Customer Page the moment page comes up. The user should not be required to query the details.
2> It should be read-only and user should not be able to update any field.
How can we achieve this requirement? I did some RnD but did not see any place in EBS where we display the Customer Page in read-only mode and that too quried up for one particular customer.
Thanks
Arun

Hi Arun,
Please let me know if find any solution for this. We have a similar scenario in which we need to call the customer Page with all the inforamtion populated, related to one customer.
Thanks in advance,

Read-Only mode for a Essbase DB

Is the a way to put my Essbase Db with Historical values in read-only?, I found that the Maxl Archieve option will do but I don't know if this is only for backup.
Regards,
Antonio

If you want to put the entire database into read-only mode, SoL (love that name) gave you the right direction.
If you only want to put part of the database into read-only mode, e.g., 2007 through 2009 data, you can use READ filters to do this.
Have a read here on the theory: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_dbag/dsefilt.htm
Have a look here on how to do it: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/eashelp/crtfilt.htm
