Grayed dialog windows

Since I upgraded my macbook pro from 10.7 to 10.7.1 at least three windows that should have dialogs are all gray - yet respond to the entry of text.
The first is the login window at startup. I get a gray tweed window with no curson entry line. However, if I enter my login password bootup to my user proceeds.
2nd if I initiate a download with Safari and then click on the little download window it opens showing just a gray window - now progress thermometer or file name. When download is complete it shows up in the download folder. Finally with 1password, when I start the program instead of getting the usual passowrd entry window I get just a gray window. If I type my password nothing shows on the screen - however once I finish and hit return the program opens to the window with password information.
I can't think how to repair this without reinstalling Lion - not a pleasant thought. Any suggestions?

Delving into this a little further I discovered that an app I had used to screen share with an iPad had a Lion 10.7.1 incompatability that produced the graphics problem. Uninstalling that according to the instructions provided by the app developer resolved the problem.

WebUtil within Oracle Forms (Find File - Open File Dialog Window)

I have successfully configured WebUtil and I can successfully execute the functions. I have been working with PKG_FIND_FILE.Selection function (which displays an Open File Dialog Window).
I cannot figure out why the following is occurring:
When I call the above function, the system typically displays an older dialog window (light blue / gray) window. For a brief time, we were able to bring up the "Windows looking" dialog window. I don't know what we changed in the configuration, but it is now back to the older looking light blue/gray dialog window.
Any ideas on where in the configuration, this would cause the dialog window to switch its "look and feel"
Thanks,
Mike

File dialog look has been changed because of the java version difference.
In Java 1.4 the look is different and 1.5 shows another way.
So check which java plugin and the version of the java
( go to control panel->settings -> click on java and check on version)

Time machine would back up only the first time after I shut off my imac and started it up again. Then it would fail or claim it could not locate my external Hard Drive even though it's icon was showing in the time machine dialog window.

Time machine only ever backed up the first time it runs immediately after I start up my computer after it has been shut off. All other back up attemps fail. Recently it stopped recognizing the icon for my external hard drive in the time machine dialog window where you select the hard drive to back up to, and turn on and off the time machine function. Now the external HD icon only shows up on the desk top but no longer in the dialog box. I just tried shutting the computer off and turning it on again and now the light is on, on the external hard drive but the icon does not even appear on the desk top.
The external hard drive is a 1TB Seagate. The drive still has plenty of unused capacity. I ran a diagnostic test on it. It said the disk needed repair but the repair function would not work. The message stated that it could not be unmounted and repair is not available because the disk can't be written to. The Mac OX utility said the disk can still be opened but can't be changed nor repaired. The external HD is not S.M.A.R.T. supported.
I haven't tried replacing the cable yet. Is that the next thing I should try?

What Mac OSX version are your running ("iOS" as shown in your profile cannot run on a Mac computer)?

Refresh Table Data after dialog window is closed.

My JDeveloper version is 11.1.1.6.0
I have a master-detail scenario where in Master records(Table Component) are displayed in top half of the splitter panel.
Detail records are displayed in second half of the splitter control using table components placed on tab panel.
After clicking on the LinkButton in Master record a bounded-task-flow is invoked in a separate inline dialog window (applicaitonModal).
In the dialog window changes to the child records is done using SelecteManyShuttle Component.
After invoking the commit action to close the modal window the child records do not refresh or the child records do not display changes immediately. Only after the page is refreshed the changes are visible.
Kindly suggest a solution.
Thanks

Using a dialog window to select a name and directory to save the file

Hi there
I have a problem with the FILE_SAVE_DIALOG method or better with the windows that will be shown.
Before I save a file (e.g. PDF file) on the presentation server (the PC), I want to open a dialog window to have the option to give another directory and file name, under which I will save the file.
Therefore I use the method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG. I found many information about this FILE_SAVE_DIALOG in this forum, but these tips didn't satisfy me.
The main problem is the FILE_FILTER. How to use this filter (is it a STRING?) properly, when I want to have a list in the dialog window? Nothing worked till now.
I use ERP 2005 with JAVA 1.4.1-07.
My Code:
DATA: fileName         TYPE STRING,
      path             TYPE STRING,
      workdir          TYPE STRING,
      user_action      TYPE I,
      encoding         TYPE ABAP_ENCODING.
    fileName = I_FILENAME.
    path = I_PATH.
    CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG
       EXPORTING
         WINDOW_TITLE         = 'Save Adobe PDF file'
*         WITH_ENCODING        = 'X'
         INITIAL_DIRECTORY    = workdir
*         DEFAULT_EXTENSION    = '*.pdf'
         DEFAULT_FILE_NAME    = fileName
         FILE_FILTER          = '*.pdf'
         PROMPT_ON_OVERWRITE = 'X'
      CHANGING
         FILENAME             = fileName
         PATH                 = path
         FULLPATH             = fullpath
         USER_ACTION          = user_action
         FILE_ENCODING        = encoding
      EXCEPTIONS
         CNTL_ERROR           = 1
         ERROR_NO_GUI         = 2
         NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI = 3
         others               = 4.
    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
    IF user_action <> CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>ACTION_OK.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
When I call this method with these parameters, I get the dialog window, but there is no filtering for PDFs.
I also tried the ideas with:
FILE_FILTER = 'Adobe files (*.pdf)|(*.pdf)'
and so on. But nothing made the dialog window work properly, even the selection list didn't show the right content to select.
Who can help with this method SAVE_FILE_DIALOG?
Thanks

Open File dialog window when setting the value of a path type input argument in a VI call

Hi,
I am new to TestStand (running 4.0) and I want to create a sequence of VIs to turn on, setup and measure a device. One of my VIs sends a configuration file to my device. An input argument to this VI is the path of the config file. I would like to make it simple to modify this path when setting up the sequence by popping up the File Open dialog window and choose my file. Is this possible? I do not want to manually change the file during execution, just to have multiple calls of one VI, each call opening a different file according to the path given to it during the setup.
So far I have only succeeded in manually entering the absolute path each time I add this step. What makes it even more annoying is the fact that LabVIEW interprets the path with the escape codes, rendering the path unusable. Manually adding a 2nd backslash at each '\' occurence adds another step to the process. I tried both String and Path type of inputs, and the SearchandReplace() or ToUpper() (trying to bypass the escape codes) functions in TestStand don't seem to help m.
Your help is very much appreciated,
Fred

Eudaemonic,
If you want to create a series of easy to configure step types so others can develop sequence files easily, you could use custom step types. When you create a custom step type you implement your own configuration dialog. Since you have control over what controls you expose in your configuration dialog, you can design it so the desired path is selected using a open file dialog. Refer to chapter 13 of the TestStand reference manual for more information about custom step types.
If you do not want to create a custom step type but you still want to give access to your sequence developers to pre-configured steps, you can use templates. A step template is a snapshot of a step that you can reuse later. Let's assume that instead of asking your users to edit the step to enter the desired path, you create several step templates with different pre-configured paths and based on their applications requirements they could use the appropriate template. Refer to the NI TestStand Help for more information about the Templates list on the Insertion Palette.
Hope it helps.

"Save As" and "Open" file dialog windows very slow to appear...

I have a home network with 4 PCs, three using XP/3 and 1 using Win7. Until recently, I had the three XP boxes in one workgroup (not homegroup) and the Win7 box in a different workgroup. Everything was running fine. I got anal and decided
to rename some of the boxes and put them all in one workgroup, the one that the Win7 box is in.
Immediately after I did all that, I noticed that every time I did a "save as" file function on the Win7 box, no matter the application, the dialog window took much longer to appear - sometimes almost 10 seconds. This is not the case on the XP
boxes.
Following a suggestion I got on the Microsoft Answers Forum, I removed all the shares on my network and even removed the 3 XP boxes from the network, and I turned off Network Discovery. The problem persisted. Only when I disabled my LAN
connection did the dialog windows appear instantly, as they had done before. I have now restored the original configuration, but the "save as" dialog window continues to come up very slowly on the Win7 box.
Any thoughts, clues or suggestions as to how to fix this non-critical but very irritating problem would be greatly appreciated...

I've hit a similar problem since (or at least exaserbated since) changing to a new ISP service (BT Total Broadband) which included a wifi router upgrade. LAN has a stable Win XP SP3 fully updated, a W7 also fully updated (I love Office) and a previously
stable Zyxel router. Then this occasional problem: File -> Save As from any application stops dead for up to a few minutes, no CPU burn so waiting on interupt or external event. Patience, then it works.
So I'm guessing a confused IP table somewhere. I'm off to play with using fixed IP addresses and lease expiries in the LAN part of the new router's config to see if that makes it easier for XP to handle closed connections.
And isn't there a "not persistent" option somewhere ...
But I don't networked drives, I use shortcuts with network addresses.
More anon after some exploration.

Duplex printing. No dialog window on the HP LaserJet 1020

I'm running WinXP Pro, but I think it doesn't matter so much, because I've used duplex printing on it for a year without any problems. But now the dialog window, which must appear while using duplex printing is gone
When the Print on both sides instruction dialog window appears on the PC's monitor, follow the instructions, says the Duplexing Manual.
How to solve it, please help

Victory at last. OK, in case there is anyone out there who still has this (and start up no start) problems.
1. Delete the HP 1020 printer software via the Printers box from Control Panel (Visa 32 bit OS).
To do this, right click on the HP 1020 printer image, open the box, click on delete to remove the old driver & printer.
2. Go to HP 1020 site and find software downloads (words to that effect).
3. Download most recent driver (it is a plug and play driver -- currently [2-2011] there are 3 choices, this one is on top)
4. Install this driver. It will take a few minutes to complete
5. Plug in the printer and power up.
6 Once the dialogue box on the task bar says the printer is installed it's time to restart (if you look in the Printers Menu you probably won't find the printer. Don't panic yet)
7. Restart
8. Now look in the Printer Menu again. You 1020 should be there.
9. Test and good luck.
If this isn't the exact sequence for your computer, try a variation. The plug and play doesn't work on top of old software. Clear that old dog out and install the latest [Nov 2010 date] driver first, then plug in, then restart your computer.
Too Bad HP didn't publish this "fix" or even explain it on its woebegotten website. You can't drag this stuff up with a search engine. Next time you shop printers, tell the salesperson you deserve a big price break for putting up with all of this nonsense from HP.

Save As & Open Dialog Window for some documents hangs when custom VSTO plugin is installed

Hello,
I have created a VSTO application which uploads a word document to Document Management Server. The problem is not with this plugin, but after the plugin is installed, for certain documents when user makes some modification to the document and clicks on File
-> Save As or File ->Open, the Save As/Open Dialog window, does not show up and the Word application will be hung (spinning) as it should do if the Save As dialog window would have been shown. The only option is then to kill the WinWord process
from Task Manager. When I kill the WinWord process from task manager, I see the Save As Dialog window appear for a split second before the WinWord Process shuts down.
If I uninstall the VSTO application, everything works fine.
Details on the application:
Target Framework: .NET Framework 4
Platform Target: x86
OS (Developer and End User): Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64 bit
Microsoft Office: Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 Version: 14.0.6129.5000 (32-bit)
Help!!

Hi Eugene,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes I have tried an empty add-in project as well. Added a label to the ribbon and displayed a static text. I am able to reproduce the issue with this add-in as well. The issue is only reproducable if I deploy the add-in using a setup and deployment project.
While building the project, Visual Studio installs the add-in by default. If I open the problematic documents with the "developement" version of the add-in installed, it seems to be working fine.
Regards,
Yogesh

Since it could be reproduced if you deploy any add-in with a setup project, it seems this issue may be related to the your environment.
It will be helpful if you could share the following information with us.
The configuration about that setup project and your add-in.
Whether your user account has admin privilege or not.
To narrow down this issue, you could consider installing that add-in with setup project in a clean machine.
If it could reproduce this issue, then we could focus on that setup project instead.
If not, then we'd better focus on your environment to narrow down this issue.

Can no longer do Cmd N within the Save As dialog window

Hey guys
For some reason I haven't been able to make new folders within the Save As dialog window by pressing Command N after installing Leopard, I have to manually click the New Folder button. Were commands changed? Is it a bug? I would appreciate if someone can tell me how to get this command back.
Thank you

Glad to hear you aren't crazy, but apparently some programmer somewhere was. I always use the button when I'm in Save as to create a new folder, something I do rarely, so I assumed it worked the way it did everywhere else, and, of course when I tried it here in Leopard it did work the way I assumed it ought to. Evidently there was an, umm, how to put this nicely....interface inconsistency (that sounds polite, I think) that was corrected in Leopard. There, I'm sure the original programmer won't be offended. Not to mention his boss, or whoever is supposed to be in charge of Human Interface Guidelines Compliance issues. Whoever it is seems to take frequent vacations....

Save As Dialog Window Size Problem

I'm having an issue with the Save As and Save Linked File As dialog windows. When using the expanded dialog window, the sides and bottom of the window extend beyond the edges of my screen.
Thus the New Folder, Cancel, and Save buttons are cut off and all I can see is the very top of each button and none of the button text.
I can't resize the window manually because the bottom right corner isn't visible. I also tried clicking the green Zoom button to no avail.
How can I get this window to size properly?

Hi CW3X,
I think those settings are saved in Safari's property list file. Opening that file in either Property List Editor or TextEdit and scrolling through the entries highlights a cluster of "NSPanelExpandedSizeForSaveMode" strings, which look like they may be relevant.
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
If you're not comfortable editing the file manually, you can try moving the .plist file to your Desktop and restarting Safari. Hopefully everything will return to normal.

Save / Export Dialog Window Size

In InDesign CS4, Mac Leopard, when I go to save or export my dialog window comes up about as small as it can. I'm using column view. In CS3 I would resize to my liking and every time I would save or export from whatever file it would be sized the same as I left it. Now it always comes up tiny making me resize every time. This happened as soon as we switched to CS4. Seems to only be in InDesign, not PSD or AI.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Here's a screen shot of what I am talking about. I'm sure my description is confusing.
Basically it always comes up this size and I have to enlarge by draging or maximizing.
I would prefer to resize once, say open up to 3 columns, and have it come up like that all the time.
Thanks!

Side bar auto expanding to fit longest filename in file dialog windows

This may sound like a small problem but I have been finding it quite frustrating and it seems to have been introduced with the introduction of Lion (OS 10.7). I use the Finders sidebar to quickly access project folders. Now the names of these folders are often quite long... Say 40 to 50 characters long. Now go to an application and select open, save, import, export, etc. anything that will bring up a file dialog window the I find the side bar automaticly expands to the width of the longest file name in the side bar. If I resize it and then access the dialog box again it is back to that massive size.
This never used to be a problem in snowleapord... Is there a way to fix this?

I'm on 8.2 and I can't get it to fail no matter how I select the desktop. I haven't tried it in 8.0, but I imagine that if this really is a bug, they did know about it and fixed it with 8.2. If this causes a real problem for you, I would suggest upgrading if you can.
