Entering minus sign in CWNumEdit

Environment: Visual C++ 6.0.
I add a CWNumEdit control to a dialog. I disable range checking on the control. The user can enter digits into the control or change the value with the arrow buttons. However, the user cannot type a minus sign into the control. If the arrow buttons are used, a negative value can be generated, and then modified by typing digits, but the minus sign can't be entered directly from the keyboard. Is this a bug?

I have tried to reproduce this behavior with our tools for VC++ 6.0 It behaves as expected in both VC++ and VB. Try building a very simple project from scatch where you just drop a Numeric Edit on the panel, and give it a run. It should be able to behave as expected. If it still does not, post back to this thread, and make sure to include what version you are using. Thanks.

Can't enter minus sign in Google Docs spreadsheet

In a Google Docs spreadsheet, I can't enter a minus sign (hyphen) in a cell until I've typed in a number, then I can go back and enter the minus sign. I think this started with Firefox 15.0, and I have replicated it on another Mac, both running OS 10.7.4.

This is not just Mozilla problem, but same for all browsers. You can use the minus key on the numpad of your keyboard, but not the dash key. Unfortunately, if you are not using full-size keyboard, you can't easily access the numpad minus.
I have been using this method myself on my laptop: hit any number/letter, then quickly hit backspace and then dash. This for some reason lets the dash key to enter as a minus sign.
Graendal's way is much better, but still, I don't understand why Google decided not to allow the dash sign to be used as a minus sign.

What do red circles with minus sign mean?

Just set up time machine on my new Mac Pro, and on the first backup it made, several of the folders have red circles with a minus sign in them on the backups. When I try to open them off the backup it tells me I don't have permission. I am the only user. I use TM on my Macbook, and have never seen this happen.
It seems I can "enter time machine" and restore the files in those folders if I need to, but I'm wondering why I can't just directly open them off the disk.
Doesn't seem this is normal, and am wondering if "repair permissions" will do anything.

Time and time again I see people messing up tm backups because this isn't at all obvious, and it is easy to use the wrong (finder) interface to get to tm backups. It would be nice if Apple put the TM into something like an app bundle that launched the star wars interface to make it obvious that it was different from a normal folder.
Or just put up some sort of warning (because on rare occasions, an "in.Progress" package needs to be deleted, or when the backups are corrupted and all else has failed, copying via the Finder may recover some data, as a last resort).
But don't hesitate to make that known here (as many of us have done): http://www.apple.com/feedback/timemachine.html

Minus sign

I can't get a minus sign to register in a split transaction of iFinance. I can enter the sign but the figure defaults to positive when I exit the box. I my keyboard is a Swedish one and does not have any NUM lock. Any suggestions?.

I transferred data from my external hard drive to my restored Mac Book Pro via migration assistant and now my external hard drive in time capsule has red minus signs. How do I get rid of that without getting rid of any of my data?

I used Migration Assistant to transfer my data from my external hard drive via Time Capsule to my restored Mac Book Pro. When I now go into Time Capsule I there are red minus signs in the corner of all the folders that are contained in my back up. How do I get rid of this and access my previous back-ups?

Select the drive and Finder > Get info and at the bottom "ignore permissions on this volume"
You can copy the files, but the ownership on the files still belongs to the other user account, once your done copying, then perform a #6 Reset Users Permissions and that will set all the ownership to that account.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Another method is to copy the entire folder, then change it's permissions.

I increased my font with zoom for the first time & got it too large. It will not decrease using Control & minus sign.

I use Firefox 4. Windows XP. I have tremors & must have accidentally clicked on something that made it open up with weird colors like it was in safe mode. It was in 8-bit so put it back on 32-bit and 1280 x 1024 pixels. Then the font was so small it is almost unreadable. Tried to change it in Firefox Tools, Options, & Content. This did not work. I then used Zoom after checking in Help but got the font so large I can't view my email right. It will not decrease when trying Control with the minus sign as suggested.

Did you change the resolution in Control Panel > Display ?
What is the native resolution of your video display (monitor)?

In ios 7.0.2, when you double click the home button it brings up the icons but won't allow you to show them with minus signs, is it no longer necessary to do this?

Iphone 5 - can't delete albums in the albums no minus sign when in edit

I need to free up storage on my Iphone 5...when I am in ALBUMS ...I chose EDIT and NO MINUS sign appears to the left. I have old photo albums from a blackberry torch and photos from various camers got loaded up I am guessing through Itunes on a PC that no longer works. I do not want these photos on my phone I have them stored on a external drive. I love my phone I just don't want all these darn photos taking up so much room. What the heck can I do??? ahhh! HELP

You need a 3rd party iPhone file browser such as TouchCopy. See: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141. This covers more than photos, but it should still be useful.
Note, however, that if the photos were taken with a higher resolution camera than the iPhones the images that you copy back to your computer will be lower quality than the originals, as images in the Photo app are optimized for the iPhone's screen.

Before I upgraded my iPad mini, you could turn off apps to save battery power by double clicking the control button and then holding your finger on the app button until the minus sign appeared. That doesn't work anymore. How do you turn off the apps wit

Before I upgraded my iPad mini, you could turn off apps to save battery power by double clicking the control button and then holding your finger on the app button until the minus sign appeared. That doesn't work anymore. How do you turn off the apps with ios7

Now you swipe downward, the app will appear and you delete, keep scolling to the right as in the past. With the new operating system you also swipe downward to get the search bar to find an app

Minus Sign in front

Hello all,
I have a requirement where in I need to bring the minus sign in front for the amount field in ALV Grid Display.
I used the FM CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT, but after I pass back the values, the sign gets set at the end. Moreover, I cannot create a character filed because the business might want to do sum on it.
Please advice.
Regards,
Salil
P.S. the below piece of code
DATA : gv_bill_rev TYPE string,
         gv_balance   TYPE string.
LOOP AT gt_master INTO gs_master.
    gv_bill_rev = gs_master-bill_rev.
    gv_balance = gs_master-balance.
    CLEAR : gs_master-bill_rev,gs_master-balance.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT'
      CHANGING
        value = gv_bill_rev.
    CALL FUNCTION 'CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT'
      CHANGING
        value = gv_balance.
    MOVE : gv_bill_rev TO gs_master-bill_rev,
           gv_balance TO gs_master-balance.
    MODIFY gt_master FROM gs_master INDEX sy-tabix
                                    TRANSPORTING bill_rev balance.

You can directly specify an edit mask for output.
Field EDIT_MASK in the field catalog is a 60 character field in which you can specify an edit mask.
fieldcat-edit_mask = 'V___.__'
The V at the left indicates that you want the sign to appear at the left. The _ will be replaced by the values of the number. Put as many underscores as required. You may also want to specify commas (,), if desired, for thousand's separators and a period (.) for the decimal point, if needed.
Alterntively, if an appropriate conversion exit exists to put the sign in front, you can assign the conversion exit in the field catalog table.
Field CONVEXIT in the field catalog can be used to specify the name of the conversion exit.

Minus Sign in the Downloaded DME file using F110 Transaction

Hi All,
From the F110 Transaction I navigate to the DME Administration from the menu bar in order to download the DME file into my system. I could open the txt file that is downloaded. Now my requirement is to add a minus sign to the invoice amount of the txt file.
I tried debugging the program to find out where the data is populated but was unable to. I can see the FM GUI_DOWNLOAD that downloads the file but the internal table contains hexadecimal data.I don't understand how this is converted to the text data.
I'm unsure of what to do.... Any body has any suggestions.
Regards,
Shipin Paul

Hi Anmol,
Your answer helped me a lot. I am really thankful. But my issue is not solved.
I went to the DMEE Transaction and gave the correct format and the tree type as input.
Inside the format i went into the amount element as you have mentioned and included an exit module with the respective coding.
Then i execute the transaction F110 with the Run date and Identification.
I then navigate to the menubar Enviroment->Payment Medium->DME Administration so as to download it into my system as notepad.
I select one of the entries and press the download button. But it does not stop at the exit which i included in the DMEE Transaction
even though i have created a breakpoint there..
Do you have any idea about this.
Regards,
Shipin Paul

Hi,
In the Context attribute tyr to use the properties of formatting where you can have the MINUS sign in the front of the value..
If this is working fine then when you use any standard export of ALV the same (AS iS) is shown in Excel right...

HT5137 Words with Friends has frozen. After double clicking the home button, swiping or pressing the icon does not bring up the minus sign.

On my IPad Words With Friends has frozen. I have double clicked on the home button and identified the WWF icon. When I press and hold or swipe vertically the icon darkens but does not shake or bring up the minus sign. Any suggestions?

Force close apps
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen

Thanks for your observation. I realize they are different versions, but when I use the "Software Update" menu, this is as far as it would update. Is there some way to update the iMac beyond what "Software Update" does? I've tried it several times.
Please Note.
Upgrading OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion) is not an update. It is a paid upgrade. Just as with 10.7 (Lion) you must purchase it from the App Store with yor Apple ID and install it after backing up your current computer state for safety.
