Extension Dev :: Property Inspector :: canInspectSelection() ??

DW Version: 8
Problem:
I am trying to get the Property Inspector to show when the
user selects a
tag using the following brackets {} instead of <>
brackets. But it seems
when you add the following string to the top of the P.I. html
page:
DW reads the
keyword but assumes the tag contains <> type of
brackets. How do I get it to
recognize the tag using {} for brackets?
Example Tag: {assign name="theVar"}
Thanks in advance!

Try to view node properties in Property Inspector

I've nodes extends CustomTextNode and a CustomEditor for this nodes.
now i'm trying view some details in property inspector.
I saw that i need to do something like this in extension.xml
<property-inspector-hook xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/ide/extension">
<inspectable-factories>
<inspectable-factory class=""/>
</inspectable-factories>
<property-form-layouts>
<property-form-layout property-model-class="">
<category-layout id="" title="${GENERAL}">
<display-group id="">
<property id=""/>
</display-group>
</category-layout>
</property-form-layout>
</property-form-layouts>
</property-inspector-hook>
i tried this but when node open, i saw changes in the title of the property inspector but then the title say "property inspector" again and nothing really happen.
is there any example about how to implement a property inspector with own nodes?
Thanks.

Thanks Mike. It's always nice to know when it's a bug and not
one's
imagination.

Hi
I am trying to write an extension for jdeveloper.I have looked at the jdeveloper extension samples but could find information on how to write property inspectors. I want to know how i can populate a property inspector.

Return focus to custom property inspector?

Hello,
I'm working on a Dreamweaver CS3 extension that includes
custom property inspector for 'div' tag with specific attributes.
Using the custom inspector modifies part of the body and head
code on the web page. Here's the issue: modifying script code
between head tags makes the property inspector lose focus. I've
tried to return the focus back to original div tag to redisplay the
custom property inspector, but I get default 'div' inspector
instead of the custom one. I'd like to get the custom property
inspector back so the user can keep using the controls on it
without noticing the focus loss.
Here's the code that focuses back on original 'div' tag:
dom.setSelectedNode(originalDivTagReference);
and here's the header for custom property inspector:

Thank you very much,
Rudi

API to show Property Help in Property Inspector of JDeveloper

Hi,
We are writing the product based on JDeveloper/FCP platform.
There is the need to provide either tooltip or some kind of help
for each property in Property Inspector. What kind of API should
we use to achieve that? In XML Schema extension I see the
following Property Help:
We'd like to achieve the same functionality.
Thanks in advance!

User, tell us your jdev version, please!
Not sure what you try to do, but you can look into the extension sdk. See https://www.google.de/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=cCs3VdvlKpPKaNbogaAN&url=http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/ind…

Help! Can't paste into code view or property inspector

I'm experiencing a weird and extremely annoying bug in Dreamweaver CS6 -- I can't paste text from outside apps into DW's code view or into the property inspector (such as URLs).
Pasting doesn't work no matter the method: Ctrl + V, right-clicking or using the Edit menu. Pasting works normally in every other program. If I copy within Dreawmweaver, pasting works fine.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I'm running Win 8 and DW 12.1 through Creative Cloud. Searching the forums, I see others have reported the same issue. Some have been able to fix it by deleting the configuration file; that didn't fix the issue for me. I'd like to try reinstalling DW, but the Adobe Application Manager doesn't seem to allow that.
I began noticing this bug about two weeks ago. That might have been about the same time I updated to 12.1. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Cory K.

Adding to my last post, I used a clipboard format inspector called nclip (http://code.google.com/p/nclip/) to see if I could find a pattern between "what works" and "what doesn't".
There are two cases where I'm seeing paste-into-Dreamweaver CS6 fail:
Paste into Code View fails, but Paste into Design View works!
Paste into either Code View or Design View fails
I went through the list of programs that worked and didn't worked, using nclip to show what clipboard formats were being saved from each working and non-working source. It appears that DreamWeaver CS6 as of January 9, 2013 doesn't accept the most basic text clipboard formats:
CF_UNICODETEXT
CF_TEXT
CF-OEMTEXT
CF_LOCALE
If these are the only clipboard formats used by an app (for example, Window's venerable Notepad.exe), Dreamweaver doesn't appear to handle them. Most programmer-style text editors output just these formats, because they are presumed to be understood any application that handles text. These fail for both pasting into codeview and design view.
Interestingly, Chrome browser fails the code view test, but it does work in design view! It outputs the four clipboard types above, plus one more:
Custom Format: HTML Format
Hypothesis 1: Any application that puts HTML Format on the clipboard will paste into design view, but not necessarily code view.
Next, Visual Studio 2010 and Sticky Notes, which doesn't include HTML Format as a clip type, works for both code view and design view. They both output this type in addition to the basics:
Custom Format: Rich Text Format
Two programs that output Rich Text Format without HTML Format are Sticky Notes and WordPad. These both work with Code View and Design View. From these limited tests on my system, it appears that for Dreamweaver to accept a text paste from an outside program into Code View, that program must output Rich Text Format to the clipboard. Otherwise, it fails. Dreamweaver will accept HTML Format, but only in Design View. Firefox is an exception in that it don't export Rich Text Format, but still works with Code View. It might use OLE, though (Chrome doesn't seem to use OLE, and it breaks in code view).
Hypothesis 2: Any application that puts Rich Text Format on the clipboard will paste into design view AND code view.
If Dreamweaver is really ignoring the basic text clipboard formats, and it's not just my system configuration, then this is a bug. Probably something that got overlooked in testing.
To reproduce on Dreamweaver 12.1 build 5966:
Try copy/pasting text from Notepad.exe into Dreamweaver Code View (DWCV). This fails for me.
Try copy/pasting text from WordPad.exe into DWCV. This works!
Try copy/pasting text from Internet Explorer 9 or Firefox into DWCV. This works!
Try copy/pasting text from Chrome. This fails to paste into Code View, but does paste into Design View
The Code View workaround:
Use Firefox or Internet Explorer for your browser if you're copy/pasting source code.
If you're working from another text editor, try copy/pasting into intermediate programs Sticky Notes or WordPad, then copy/paste from there into Dreamweaver.
So that is my experience on Windows 7 64-bit. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Property inspector not working correctly

The property inspector in CS3 is not working correctly. When
I select text or any other object the property inspector does not
change for that object. But when I right mouse click on the
selected object it does. Do I need to change a setting?
Thanks!

Yes, me too. I can't find an answer to this anywhere.
If I right-click or double-click on an item the property
inspector shows it, but if I single click, nothing happens. It's
bad for productivity.

Adding a custom field to the property inspector in JDev 10.1.3

Hello All
I have a requirement where i have to add some custom entries to the property inspector.Say if we choose a text field in html there will be some standard values in property inspector.Now i want to add my own custom entry always on selection of text field.
Or i am developing a custom editor and i always want property inspector to display some values on certain selections.
I already went through the code samples provided for jdev 10.1.3 but i couldnt find one for property inspcetor.I also went through the oracle.ide.* packages.Could someone provide me a class or method from where i can start ???
Thanks in advance !!!

I was able to find the ide.jar file which contains all the necessary oracle.ide.* class files.
I had another query....basically there are 2 kinds of packages of the form javax.ide.* and oracle.ide.*
So suppose im faced with the situation of say adding menu items and defining actions on them then i guess it can be done in 2 ways using classes in javax.ide or oracle.ide.Can you elaborate how i should choose between these 2 packages.
Is it if im using the <jdeveloper-hook> i shud use oracle.ide.* and the regular jsr 198 schema then the javax.ide.*
Kindly clarify !!!! Thanks in advance

Problem when I click the "browse to file" icon in the property inspector

Please somebody help me. I am having a problem with Dreamweaver. When ever I click on the "browse to file" icon in the property inspector, it opens up a full size window on top of the Dreamweaver screen that can't be resize. This problem just started. I have shut down my entire system and restarted it and I am still having the problem. Can someone please help me. Thank-you

When irregular things begin to happen in DW, it's usually caused by a corrupted cache file. Below you'll find details on how to delete it.

Dreamweaver Help | Set text properties in the Property inspector

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/set-text-properties-property-inspector.html

The note at the bottom of the first section (About formatting text (CSS versus HTML)) says -
"You can combine CSS and HTML 3.2 formatting within the same page. Formatting is applied in a hierarchical manner: HTML 3.2 formatting overrides formatting applied by external CSS style sheets, and CSS embedded in a document overrides external CSS."
Please be aware that embedded CSS will ONLY override external CSS if the external CSS link is closer to the tag than the embedded CSS (i.e., it comes earlier in the flow of the document). If the embedded CSS comes first in the flow of the document, it will be overridden by the external CSS instead.

Not able to change values in the Property Inspector

Hello!
Can some one please help me with this. I was working in
Director when I noticed that all of a sudden I wasn't able to
change the values in the property inspector, specifially the sprite
properties such as the x and y coordinates and the width and
height. I'll type in a value and then I will get an error sound and
it will revert to the previous value. How can I fix this??
Thanks!

Hi Ringerz,
I've seen the PI lock up sometimes. What usually works is to
switch to List Viw
Mode. Never have trouble there. Then, close Director and
reopen. Think it's jus a
bug that hasn't been fixed yet.

Property inspector not loading

Hi
Newbie question. I am reviewing a mapping and want to see the join criteria between two objects. I'm told it's displayed in the Property Inspector, but for some reason the Property Inspector wont load when I go to View > Property Inspector. Nothing happens! All the other toolbars etc load fine.
Would this be a security issue?
Cheers

Hi,
Your OWB design client layout would have been changed. Delete the OWB preferences from your client PC and restart the design center.
Path to the OWB preferences is as shown below:
c:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\OWB
You can delete the system* folder in this directory and restart the design center.

Property inspector not displaying properties

Trivial problem: DAK why DW8 (8.0.2) Property inspector
sometimes displays just "Div ID, Class and an Edit CSS button" when
within a DIV? When in Code view in a correctly functioning
page, most of the code will have detailed HTML properties displayed
as usual. But in one section - which has multiple nested DIVs with
some other HTML inside, Property inspector displays only the DIV
details instead of the other HTML details - as if it were still
inspecting the DIV tag itself instead of being within the DIV?
The page validates with no errors and the DIVs are closed
with </div> in the right places.

Yes, me too. I can't find an answer to this anywhere.
If I right-click or double-click on an item the property
inspector shows it, but if I single click, nothing happens. It's

Property inspector not appearing

When i design a shape(a rectangle for example) the property inspector appears in the borrom of fireworks window.
If i import though a picture the property inspector does not appear.
Why that?
How i can fix this issue and the property inspector be appearing in the case also where an image is imported?
Or this cannot be done by definition in Fireworks.
Thanks.

There's always a way. It just may not be very "automatic" and depends on the bitmap you're trying to replicate.
In FW, you can trying using the bitmap selection tools to select various bitmap elements, then choose Select > Convert Marquee to Path.
Or you can use the vector tools to manually trace over the bitmap.
In AI, there is an Live Trace feature but depending on the complexity of your bitmap, you may not get exactly what you want, so manually editing/tweaking will be needed. Indeed you may end up with a far more complicated vector than you expect. You'll definitely need to experiment with this feature and the Live Paint counterpart to get what you want.
I believe Flash also has a trace feature.

Property inspector not working in fireworks

Hi folks,
I am using Fireworks CS 5.1 on a MAC Pro. I haven't used Fireworks in ages but I can't for the life of me figure out where the Property Inspector has gone. I'm creating a very simple button. I put a simple line of text on my page, a box and a line. I have selected each one and then clicked the Windows menu and clicked Properties. The Properties box appears but it has nothing in it. Doesn't seem to matter what I click on there are no properties showing up.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Sylvia

A lot of glitches in Fireworks can be solved by deleting the preferences file. First you will have to make sure your Library folder is viewable and you are accessing the root folder on your hard drive. In recent releases of Mac OS, it is hidden by default.
First, show your Hard Drive by following these directions:
In the Finder, choose Preferences from the Finder menu.
Click the General icon on the toolbar.
Select "Hard disks" in the "Show these items on the desktop:" section.
Close the Finder Preferences window.
Next, you'll have to unhide the library folder by following these instructions:
In the Finder, choose View > Show View Options (or press Command-J).
Near the bottom of the resulting View-Options palette is a setting called Show Library Folder. Enable this option. Your Library folder is immediately visible.
In that folder, find the Preferences folder. Then in the preferences folder, find the file with this name (or similar): "com.adobe.Fireworks.12.0.0.plist" and delete it.
Restart your machine and Fireworks and your problem may be solved.
