Eyedropper, select stroke, and click on a fill to apply colour to stroke

I`m choosing  a stroke, selecting eyedropper and clicking on a fill colour elsewhere, it doesnt apply it to the stroke, this would be simple, how can I choose a stroke and change the stroke colour to match a fill on another object in the quickest possible way?
trying to make a swatch from the fill, then applying it to stroke doesn`t work either,, but thats a long way anyway, has to be a way to apply a fill colour to a selected stroke..
quickest way I know is to use eyedropper to select the fill colour on other object, this fills the fillbox on tool palette, then hover over this fill swatch and drag it onto the stroke swatch on tool palette, then drag the stroke swatch onto the stroked path you want to recolour,
so 3 steps there,anything quicker?

I find that when selecting a colour from another stroke to apply to just the stroke of my selected object, I have to hover over the center spline of the stroke I`m colour picking from, when doing this from blends, there is no center line for the blend pieces generated, you have to guess where the center of the stroke is, if you don`t get the center of the stroke, the selected objects stroke becomes white..
just thought it would be easier if you could click anywhere within the stroke boundaries of a blend piece, I could always expand the blend, but not simply to use its colours generated for strokes elsewhere, but its a work around,
still love it anyway, thanks for showing,

  • Matrix Select Row And Click()

    Good Day
    Experts:
    I am in a bit of a quandry here today.  I cannot figure out why I am unable to programatically acheive the 2 following actions:
                  1)Select a row in a Matrix
                  2)Click in a field to set cursor
    I have the right-click Add Row event working.  A new row is added to the Matrix.  However, right now
    the row I right-clicked on to add a new row is staying highlighted.  I want to deselect that row and/or select the newly added row.  Then click in a certain column in the new row.
    The forum has many helpful suggestions but it seems I have tried al of them with no luck. 
    Here is what I have for the AddRow(after right-clicking on a row in the Matrix) and attempt at selecting a
    row and clicking it:
    MatlRFQMatrix.AddRow()
    ClearMatrixDataSourceAdd(MatrixRowCount + 1)
    PrevSeq = MatlRFQMatrix.Columns.Item("clHash").Cells.Item(MatlRFQMatrix.VisualRowCount - 1).Specific.value
    PrevRFQSeq = MatlRFQMatrix.Columns.Item("clDocSeq").Cells.Item(MatlRFQMatrix.VisualRowCount - 1).Specific.value
      MatlRFQMatrix.Columns.Item("clHash").Cells.Item(MatrixRowCount + 1).Specific.value = PrevSeq + 1
      MatlRFQMatrix.Columns.Item("clDocNum").Cells.Item(MatrixRowCount + 1).Specific.Value = ReqNoPassed
      MatlRFQMatrix.Columns.Item("clDocLine").Cells.Item(MatrixRowCount + 1).Specific.Value = ReqLinePassed
      MatlRFQMatrix.Columns.Item("clDocSeq").Cells.Item(MatrixRowCount + 1).Specific.Value = PrevRFQSeq
      MatlRFQMatrix.Columns.Item("clStatus").Cells.Item(MatrixRowCount + 1).Specific.Value = "Order"
      Dim oMatrix As SAPbouiCOM.Matrix
      oMatrix = MatlRFQForm.Items.Item("mtxMatRFQ").Specific
      oMatrix.SelectRow(MatrixRowCount + 1, True, False)
    MatlRFQMatrix.Columns.Item("clCardCd").Cells.Item(MatrixRowCount + 1).Click(SAPbouiCOM.BoCellClickType.ct_Regular)
    Any ideas why I can't select a row or have a click sei in a column?
    Thanks,
    Ed

    Hi Ed,
    on which event you are doing this coding.
    It should be on right click After Event.
    As well as you add the new row into the matrix, the visual row count increamented by one.
    So insted of using Matrix.VisualRowCount+1 or matrix.VisualRowCount -1, you have to usae only and simply Matrix.VisualRowCount.
    whats the value of MatrixRowCount. Is it a variable.
    please try to more clear your code.

  • Can't highlight and delete or move large volumes of emails. Have to hold command to select multiple and click on each one ?

    I love being able to mass delete, mark as read or move emails but with Mountain Lion I now have to select each email individually and cannot just hold mouse and roll up and select in large volumes. I can select more than one only if holding down command and clicking on each email. Is there a way around this? What has changed?
    This is terrible and completely time consuming to delete emails.

    Found solution. Must double click first and then scroll!

  • How to keep the selection as the old when I select one and click the submit

    maybe it is a HTML problem,but I still ask for help here!
    When I select one option in the form's element-select and submit it ,I want to keep the JSP page as old, but I can't .I also use cookie and bean.The problem is still being.

    store the parameter names and their corresponding values in a variable, say Hashtable. After you do the submit, you can retrieve the values from the hashtable.
    example:
    if you have these parameter names:
    "name", "age"
    then you can do:
    Hashtable h = new Hashtable();
    h.put("name", request.getParameter("name"));
    h.put("age", request.getParameter("age"));Have this hashtable available in your response jsp so you can retrive the old data.

  • When I send email and attach photos, those are been randomly resized, without asking and I can't resize them back to the original size on the screen and on the email, even if I select them and click on "LARGE SIZE" images on the right top box of the email

    By the way, I've tried to look for the Attachment Tamer box, between the Mail Prefferences but it doesn't even show me this option. So I can't do it.
    I'm using a MacPro.

    I thought that originally too, but that's all changed with the pool of apps that are out there now. So now what I'm trying to do is to prove that technology is progressing to the point where a tiny, handheld phone can produce images that are nearly as good as photos taken with much more expensive and bulky equipment. I've got my share of expensive bulky camera equipment, but I'm finding that I'm having much more enjoyment out of using my iPhone from initial capture, to editing, to publishing, and achieving results that are nearly as good.
    I do think you're working under a bit of a handicap. For example, lens quality. Here's an iPhone photo example of some wild turkeys in the neighborhood masked by flare that would be much better controlled on an SLR lens (click to enlarge - the flare is obvious, the turkeys are not):
    At the same time, working under a handicap can definitely spur creativity, similar to the oft-cited example of swapping out your zoom lens for a prime to force yourself to pay attention to composition.
    It's an interesting concept - I wish you luck!

  • Eyedropper selecting outline color not underneath layer

    I'm attempting to do a gradient mesh on an apple.  I'm stuck when filling the mesh with the eyedropper tool.
    What i do is use the direct selection tool and click an anchor and then click the eyedropper tool on that anchor point  What is happening is the the outline color is being selected. So i found out Illustrator CS6 you have to hold shift while clicking the eyedropper.  I tried that and still can't get the color of the underneath layer, the fill color stays white?  Here is pic:
    As you can see in the navigator window, the shade of red is that of the outline and not the apple underneath the outline.  I tried shift+eyedropper and white is the only color that get's sampled.  What am i doing wrong?

    Yes the fill is focused.  Here is the eyedropper settings.  I tried again and it either samples the outline color or the smart guide color(green)  It should sample the template layer underneath(apple).

  • Report with select list and link to call another report

    Hi,
    I am trying to do 2 reports (REPORT1 and REPORT2).
    The first is a summary report (REPORT1).
    This report will display sales figures for the year. Now, I need to have a select list in the result set that will have 2 options, depending on which option is chosen, I want to call REPORT2 with the select list as a parameter. How can I do this ?
    Let me try to explain what I did.
    I created REPORT1 on Page 100
    SELECT YEAR, sum(YTD_SALES), APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(1,'DEPARTMENT','Department;DEPARTMENT,Division;DIVISION') Drilldown FROM SALES_ANALYSIS WHERE YEAR > 2000
    GROUP BY YEAR ORDER BY YEAR
    I created 2 hidden items namely P100_YEAR and P100_DRILLDOWN
    I also made the column YEAR as a link and specified both P100_YEAR and P100_DRILLDOWN as parameters to be passed.
    Next, I created REPORT2
    SELECT YEAR, DECODE(:P100_DRILLDOWN, 'Department', department, 'Division', Division) dept_div, sum(YTD_SALES) ytd_sales
    FROM SALES_ANALYSIS
    WHERE YEAR = :P100_YEAR
    When I run Report 1, it's fine, when I choose either Department or Division from the Select List and click on the link to call Report 2, report 2 is displayed, but the value being passed for P100_DRILLDOWN is not correct and as a result, I am unable to get correct results for Report 2
    Am I missing something ? Are there any alternate ways to do what I'm doing ?
    Thanks,
    Ashok

    Hi Ashok,
    The link definition will not know the value selected in the list as it is constructed only when the page is being rendered. You would need to create some javascript to handle this. I've done that here: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:182]
    The link on the EMPNO column has been defined in the HTML Expression setting for the column instead of the Link section. The HTML Expression that I have used is:
    <a href="#" onclick="javascript:doDrilldown('#EMPNO#',this);">#EMPNO#</a>And, in the page's HTML Header setting, I have added in:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function doDrilldown(empno,group)
    var g;
    var p = group.parentNode;
    while (p.tagName != "TR")
      p = p.parentNode;
    var x = p.getElementsByTagName("SELECT");
    if (x.length > 0)
      g = x[0].value;
    var url = "f?p=&APP_ID.:183:&SESSION.::::P183_EMPNO,P183_GROUP:" + empno + "," + g;
    document.location.href = url;
    </script>When a link is clicked, the doDrilldown function is called passing in the EMPNO value and the "this" object (which identifies the object triggering the call). The function starts from that object and goes up in the HTML tag tree to the nearest TR tag (the row tag that the link is on) and then finds the first SELECT list item on the row and gets its value. It then constructs a URL using this and the EMPNO value and performs a redirect to the second page (page 183 in this example).

  • Why do you need to shift click to select stroke color with eyedropper tool?

    Hi,
    Quick question..
    Why do you need to shift click to select the stroke color with the eyedropper tool?
    I had the problem where I could not do this earlier and found the solution on this forum.
    However I still do not understand the reason for this.
    Appreciate if anyone could explain it to me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Nori

    Hi, Nori,
    If you have the red and blue rectangle selected and the Fill square selected in the tool panel, as at bottom left, then hold the shift key down and click with the eyedropper on the green stroke in the upper rectangle, then the red fill will turn green but the stroke stays blue. If you select Stroke, as at bottom right, then shift-click with the eyedropper on the green stroke, the blue stroke will turn green but the fill stays red. With Fill selected and shift-click on the yellow fill, the red fill turns yellow; with Stroke selected the blue stroke turns yellow. If you do not depress the shift key, the red and blue rectangle will become yellow and green.
    It's complicated to explain, but I think that if you try it step by step it will make sense to you.

  • Moving selected objects up and down with keyboard is automaticly applying a colour fill.

    Hi,
    My InDesign is strangely applying a colour fill when i move an objects up or down using the directional arrow in my keyboard. If the colour pallet is open. Nudging an object up makes the pallet disappear on the first press. It then reappears on the second press while filling the object (text frame) with black. This is instensly frustrating. How can I stop this? Suggestions would be very appreciated.
    I have already reset the preferences.
    Cheers,

    Thanks for your reply.
    I fixed the problem by replacing the keyboard!

    I have to ask if you reset the prefs uing one of the methods in this thread: Replace Your Preferences If not, there's a good chance you left out one of the files, so please try again using one of the listed methods. And please tell us the OS and your version of ID, including the patch level. Obviously this is not normal behavior. It sounds as if the Swatches panel has focus when you are pressing the arrow keys.

    I am having a problem changing a color in a selected area. Using the Quick Selection tool I am able to select the area I wish to change. Using the Brush tool, color, color mode and click drag in my selected area, nothing happens, no color changes. I have viewed some videos and read numerous articles but haven't found the one to help me. Please point me in the best direction. Thank you Vincent TC

    For the sake of clarity and to save people time, Todd is asking about the behaviour of the Patch tool when using it to repair the area next to the young lad's head.  Todd gets a blurred dark tone pretty much regardless of the options he uses.
    IMO that's what I would expect to happen because of the close proximity of the other image elements i.e. the lad's neck and the strong lines of his shirt.  I would not choose to use the Patch tool in this situation.  Content Aware Fill makes a better stab at it.

    I have set up my airprint wifi printer which works perfectly with the HP eprint app. However, when i view an email and click on the top right arrow button and select "PRINT" on my ipad nothing happens????...
    Also, when im viewing websites and i find something i wish to print, same again, if i simply click on the print option at the top right of the screen nothing happens... the only way I can print is if i copy the weblink of the site page then click on my HP eprint app and paste the web link, then select print, it prints off fine.. but its it such a pain to keep copying and pasting links or screen dumping emails just to print...

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
