Hot Keys for TextBoxes

Hi all,
I am working on MAC OS X and create an application in java using Net Beans 5.5 .
Application shows 3 controls on a dialog having
one label, one textbox and a button control.
I have set hot keys for both label and button by putting
'&' in their name like "My&Label" and "My&Button"
when i run the application And press (Alt+ L) focuse is not going on Textbox but when i press (Alt + B) then button click event is working
how do i set hot keys for a textbox in front of a label control
thanks in advance

I think you need to set the setLabelFor and setDisplayedMnemonic properties of the label.
From the API docs:
If the displayedMnemonic property is set and the labelFor property is also set, the label will call the requestFocus method of the component specified by the labelFor property when the mnemonic is activated.

  • Hot keys for the button

    hi friends,
    Is it possible to remove a mnemonic associated with a button based on the focus of the cursor?
    For example, when focus is on text field TF1, the button B1 should have a hot key ALT_B but when the focus is on textfield TF2, the button B1 should not have the hot key ALT_B.. that is, if focus is on TF2 and user enters ALT_B.. button B1 action should not be performed.
    Thanks in advance,
    regards,
    Deepa Raghuraman

    You could use Button.setMnemonic(0) (thats the method that takes an int as the argument) to disable the mnemonic. And Button.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_B) to enable it again (for the character 'b').
    But don't misunderstand me either, if I open a new dialog and see a button that signifies to me : You can use ALT_B to toggle me because thats the character that has a line below it, I would be surprised it that doesn't work just a few seconds later, because some application logic took that feature away from me.
    Think about it, but otherwise the above methods should work. May you have to repaint/inavlidate the button to set/remove the underlined character

  • How about Hot Keys for the Wireless Keyboard?

    Hello all.
    Been using the iPad 2 for about 2 weeks since I got it.  Had to "ditch" the iPad Keyboard Dock and use a regular Apple Wireless Keyboard.  The good thing is now using the TwelveSouth iPad Stand, I can orientate the iPad to any of the two positions I want.
    But I miss the special hot keys on Keyboard Dock, namely the Home and Lock keys.  Kind of inconvenient pushing the Home button on the iPad 2, especially having to double-press for multitasking.
    If only the iPad's iOS allows some sort of configuration for hot keys on the wireless keyboard.  I do notice that the F5 and F6 are empty.
    Cheers

    I would only hope that the keyboard would turn off, not just when it isn't pairing with the computer, but for the keyboard that is paired (mine is) it would be best if it turned off after a period of no use. Here is what one man, not an Apple tech, said about the A1314 keyboard he was selling on ebay:
    "The keyboard automatically powers down when you're not using it and turns on instantly as soon as you start typing. This intelligent power management means you'll get up to nine months of battery life based on average usage patterns. It also has an on/off switch for when you're away from your computer for a long time."
    This doesn't indicate how many minutes of no use it needs before it 'powers down' (doesn't sound as good as really being turned off) and it also doesn't address the issue of knowing if your keyboard is on or off via the power button.
    Even my dog electric training collar blinks twice when it is turned on and blinks three times when it is turned off. The Apple keyboard needs two indicator lights, one to tell you if it is searching for pairing and the other strictly as an on off indicator. I'm not going to loose any sleep over this, but it does seem like somebody was sleeping in the design department as this keyboard is really cool, but it doesn't convey the basic on/off information to the user.

  • Hot keyes for monitor brightness on SL510

    I have very annoying problem with hotkeyes for adjusting monitor brightness! After last version of hotkeyes driver they don't work. I can't increase or decrease brightness! Pressing them down and can't change anything. And there is something more! For example I have adjusted some level from power manager and everything looks good until I don't try to manage brightness with hot keyes. I doesn't matter if i want to increase or decrease brightness, it just goes to maximum level!
    Anyone knows something for this problem?
    Many, many thanks in advance

  • Andy's Region Blur - Hot key for "center" radio button???

    Hi... I am loving Andy's Region Blur! I have an ongoing project editing courtroom footage that requires concealing multiple identities. Andy's Region Blur is HUGE!!! Since I am using it extensively, i am trying to figure out how to assign the "center" radio button to a hot key on a FCP keyboard. Does anyone know if this is possible??? It's the little things that make the difference...

    I think you might have to ask Andy to tweak the FXscript to enable such a feature... not sure...

  • Hot Keys for Switching between Applications (Equivalent to Windows Alt-Tab)

    Please help.
    For the longest time, I have had trouble finding the keys to enable a fast switch of active applications. Is there an "ALT-TAB" for us Mac lovers? I mostly want to know because when playing WoW, I'd like to be able to switch to Safari at a drop of a hat to look up info.
    Any suggestions/answers?
    -M

    The alternative command is Command-TAB.
    When WoW operates in full screen it might not work however.
    You posted in the wrong forum BTW.
    Please post in the appropriate forum next time.
    E.g. in one of the Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger forums.
    Hope this helps.

  • Hot Keys for CW command buttons

    Does anybody know of an easy way to assign hotkeys (or shortcut keys some
    peope call them)
    to CWUI command buttons in VB? Basically I want to use F1 to operate the
    first command button
    F2 the second one and so forth. In CVI this was easy but I can't find an
    effective way of doing it in VB
    paul

    You will have to use the Form's KeyPreview property and create a KeyPress (KeyDown or KeyUp) event procedure for the form that calls the subroutines associated with each command buttons click events. See the attached example.

  • I like to manually create lists when I take notes, so is there a way to create a shortcut/hot key for different symbols in the Pages inspector?

    Not really a Pages user, but I am trying to make the switch from Word if I can figure out a few ways to customize Pages. I don't want to create a new paragraph style because I rearrange my lists a lot. I think there is a way to automatically create a custom list style, but I like to make lists manually because I frequently change things around. I would like to be able to manually add symbols. I know that Option + 8 will give me a bullet, but I would also like to use different symbols I found in inspector, like a black square and a black triangle. Anyone know if this is possible?

    If what you're looking for is a more flexible way of quickly just including any symbol of your preference when you're taking notes (without establishing a more structured list like picas suggestion) there are a number of ways to use keyboard shortcuts to get a variety of symbols. Here is a link that you can use to hopefully find what you're looking for:

    You can also try http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1343 to find other keyboard shortcuts.

  • Can I make macros or hot keys for garageband?

    I'm making a bunch (as in hundreds) of short files in which I record the pronunciation of vocabulary cards.  I'll attach the files to a vocabulary card program.  Anyway, I have a work flow and it's fairly repetitious.  I'd like to create a macro so that with 1 command I can export the file, save it, and open up a new vocal file.  Is such a thing possible?
    Thanks!

  • ToolTip appearence of a JButton having a hot key/Mnemonic set

    Hi,
    I have facing a problem in the TOOLTip of a JButton. Using UIManager.put("Tooltip.background", Color.black); &
    UIManager.put("Tooltip.foreground", Color.red); or overriding the createToolTip() method we can change the ToolTip bg & fg color. But if we define a Mnemonics/hot key for that button a string Alt+<Mnemonic character> also appear in the tooltip along with the text. Now this Alt+? doesnot have the colour/font you set for the tooltip (although the tooltip set by setToolTipText() shows the color set using UIManager.put). Any workaround of this problem. Please reply.

    Hi and welcome to the community!!
    All the hotkeys combinations are controlled by the lenovo energy management software. So i reccomend you to reinstall/install it again. Its setup would be present in the lenovo drive of your hdd. If not then please download it from support site.

  • Hot Keys, or lack thereof.

    I was just wondering why there is no hot key for tool selection in Apple Works. Can this be enabled or is the program just that bad? I am using the drawing palette and clicking everywhere seems so 1986ish.

    Hi Gregory,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
    None that I know of.
    Your "1986ish" comment is reasonably accurate. AppleWorks's genesis was as an Apple II gs application at StyleWare in 1986. The Mac version, ClarisWorks 1.0 was released in 1991. Despite the name change to AppleWorks during vwersion 5, most of the changes since '91 have tended toward the cosmetic more than the functional (I overgeneralize here).
    The port to OS X was done quickly, and around that time, Apple's attention moved to new software rather than a full rewrite of AW from the ground up. Development essentially stopped in 2004, and Apple officially declared EOL on AppleWorks in 2007.
    Great application, still useful, but missing some of the more recent bells and whistles.

  • IMovie Scene detection when capturing and hot keys

    Two questions please (this is on a new imac) :
    1) I have scene detection turned on for capturing (using a XL2), but it doesn't seem to stop and split up the scenes.
    Does the scene detection only work when the time-code is broken - ie;
    when the machine is powered off and on? Does it detect when it is paused?
    2) Is there a list of hot keys for editing like the RAZOR tool etc?
    Thanks in advance,

    Scene detection normally works, so there must be something going on with you old camera.
    I have a bunch of old analog 8MM tapes that I imported through a DV 8MM Digital camera. These all came in as 1 long clip.
    It is true you can delete a frame and then use iMovie to split the events. However, I have found a much quicker way that is non-destructive and allows you to enter the date metadata.
    1) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5. You can google it.
    2) Drag your long clip into MPEG Streamclip. (If you don't know where it is, Right-click on the clip in the imovie event and select "Reveal in FInder".
    3) Think if dividing your long clip into Events (everything you shot on a single day, for example) - and Scenes (clips) - an individual unit of footage within the Event.
    4) Move the MPEG Streamclip playhead to the beginning of the 1st scene and press I for in point. Movie the Playhead to the last frame of the scene and press O for out point.
    5) Now, FILE/EXPORT TO DV. Save it to a location you can easily find, like a folder on your desktop. Give it name in the following format: clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss.dv This will preserve the time metadata for later when you are editing. You may want to have your camera handy so you can easily see this data.
    6) Repeat this process until you have all clips done. You should find that the playhead is still at the out point. You can simply type I and you have set the in point for a totally nondestructive capture of the next clip.
    7) Finally, open iMovie and use FILE/IMPORT/MOVIES... and navigate to the place where you saved all these clips. iMovie will import and sort into Events (you may have to check "split days into new events". Let it generate thumbnails and you are done.

  • After-market headphones with hot keys?

    So the stock headphones come with the ability to pause music and skip to next track (among other things) via a built-in clicker. I wonder if this means there are other features that can be exposed via after-market headphones.
    Since I listen to podcasts and audiobooks, I'd like to be able to quickly go back and forward within the track via a headphone "hot key". Most important is going back say 10 seconds if I miss something due do noises nearby. This is more important on iPhone than on iPod because the touch-interface for ff/rw on long podcast/audiobook tracks is not as good as using the old click-wheel.
    I don't expect Apple will add these features to their stock headphones since they like to keep things simple, but if they exposed this capability via the headphone "API" (seems it might already be there), then other vendors could supply headphones with these sorts of hot keys for geeks like me.
    Anyone know if these sorts of actions are exposed via headphone jack and if any vendors are planning to add headphones with such capabilities?

    Unfortunately htting the esc key does not solve it. Does the 3-button method only work for certain versions and/or platforms? As I mentioned, while holding them down while launching it only pops up the Scratch Disk Preferences.
