Hot Keys toggle state of toggle switch

How can I prevent a toggle switch from updating it's GUI state when it is accessed via Hot Key (Alt + letter)?
I want to be able to do this without Disabling the control,  and without setting the control to Indicator mode.  I created a callback to swallow the event_commit.  The control still toggles state when using hot keys but not when clicking the control. 
Solved!
Go to Solution.

While thinking about your problem it has occurred to me to experiment with some SDK function to check whether the accelerator key function could be diabled. While I haven't succeeded in it, I have noted that if you install a system hot key via RegisterHotKey SDK function it has precedence over the accelerator CVI installs while adding a double underscore somewhere in the control label. That is, even if the accelerator sign is present, a system hot key comes before and prevents the button callback to be fired. That could be a feasible solution for your actual problem.
I made up a fast example that shows all this matter: you can test all combinations of hotkeys installed on the control and see what happens.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

  • Satellite L300 - Hot key function is not working

    After the superb help I got from Jimi I'm hoping I can solve my last problem, I have changed my OS from Vista to WXP and I have managed to get all drivers working even though some from the Toshiba site dont work like the Wi-Fi, I have managed to acquire from other places. The only one I cannot get to work is the hot keys , It states TOSHIBA COMMON MODULE NOT FOUND! Everything else works o.k. after using Nlite (Cracking Bit Of Kit)
    My Laptop Is the Sat L300 - 1AQ Model PSLB8E-OOKOO
    Many Thanks for your Help

    Hello
    Ivan is right. You must install Common modules. It must be installed at first before you start to install any other Toshiba designed tools or utilities.
    Common Modules is kind of basic software and all other tools can be installed additionally. Because of that it is very important to install Common Modules first.
    Good luck!

  • TS3274 My Ipad display is stuck on portrait mode. I tried the toggle switch, turning off and restart and just now backed up into Itunes and restored and still is stuck on portrait mode and it won't flip to landscape mode. Is this a hardware problem?

    Has lock rotation been accidentally enabled within the control centre? If you swipe up the screen is there a circle with a lock symbol & if so is is greyed out or white - if white it is enabled.

  • Exiting the VI and closing it with a front panel toggle switch

    I am developing a Data logging application by plotting a four channels on a Chart.
    What I would like to do is this :
    - Like any Windows application, as soon as the user double clicks the short cut to the VI, it should the load VI, run and wait for him to start the plotting for which there is a toggle switch. No problem here.
    - And the other toggle switch called "EXIT" when operated, should close the VI application ( equivalent to clicking the "X" button on the title bar.

    Your situation is different, because you have a toplevel VI. (remember, it says "Open front panel if called THEN close afterwards if originally closed.) A toplevel VI is not "called"!
    If you want it to "run when opened", use the checkbox in the execution menu of VI options.
    Put a TRUE boolean diagram constant near the right border of your outermost loop, place a "Quit LabVIEW" outside all loops, and wire them together.

  • Can we have 3 way vertical toggle switch, with unstable position at top, neutral position in center and stable position at bottom. the shape of the switch should be same as that of vertical toggle switch.

    Avon,
    You've asked the same question and received several replies in two recent threads here and here.
    Rather than start a third thread, it would be best to just respond in one of them with details as to your problems with the proposed solutions (e.g. use of picture control).

    If you want something that looks a bit more like the standard switches, I've made some that use the picture control.
    If you're interested, you can read a bit more and download them here.

    Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

  • Broken Toggle Switch

    Halp! The toggle switch on my 2nd gen ipod doesn't work; it's 'toggled' to lock and I can't unlock it. Any suggestions to get it to unlock (besides having it repaired)? Trying to use it for a field trip and I can't get it to unlock. Thanks.

    You'll be more likely to get a quick and applicable answer if you ask in the iPod Touch forums. More people who have the same unit will be likely to see your question there.

    Hello Wontsey & Welcome
    On 6-4-06 I installed Norton Internet Security 3.0.1 for Mac. I thought maybe my problem was related to the firewall part so I unistalled it and turned the Apple firewall that came with the computer back on.
    This did not help. In fact, when I try to open “Help” from the desktop menu the program opens and then immediately closes so I can’t access it.
    I hate to have to tell you this Norton is the problem, looking into uninstalling it, the uninstallers that came with it are not effective so no matter you do not have the CD/DVD go to their site to get the Uninstaller
    UseCocktail or OnyXto find the invisable files. Just follow Macjacks directive.
    This is covered in this Topic thread,abandoning Norton Internet Security see the files Macjack speaks of in the topic thread. If you have questions post in the same forum a new topic this thread is archive, click on the link and then click"back to topic list". This is why i first came to Apple discussions, to get help with the mess Norton can make on Panther and found help as you will. It is not a Safari issue per say, rather a Norton problem.
    Best of luck.

  • Still no sound with toggle switch moved

    I check thed toggle switch, it is not orange, still no sound on anything.

    1. If you have no sound at all, even in the Music App, try rebooting the iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    2. If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    3. If you still have no sound at all in any app or for notifications, keyboard clicks, etc. ....try cleaning the dock connector opening of the iPad with a soft brush and just a little bit of rubbing alcohol.

  • Nano (2nd generation) won't recognize toggle switch

    My iPod Nano (2nd generation) won't recognize the toggle switch. I've done ALL of the suggested remedies...reboot...restore factory settings...reboot plugged into a power source....nothing works.
    iTunes recognizes the Nano (thus I was able to restore factory settings) and I'm able to manipulate all of the settings while in iTunes, but the Nano doesn't seem to recognize the toggle switch. I after rebooting, I can get to the first screen asking which language, but the lock icon is showing that it's in the locked position no matter how much I toggle it on and off. Since the toggle is always in the locked position, the only thing I can do with the scroll wheel is reboot.
    I have no idea what to try next.
    Help?

    Sorry I could not have brought better news. I still have an 80 GB iPod Video that I feel the same about!

  • Why does Airplay "mirror" toggle switch fail to appear on iPad and Mac

    ...but does so with my iPhone when trying to view on apple tv.
    Thank you in advance.  My first use of apple tv...primarily for airplay "mirroring" feature using iPad 
    Issue:  iPad 1 (5.1.1) with apple tv (software 5.1.1 / 5433)...after swiping iPad to expose airplay, I have no mirror function "toggle" that appears.  I can only tap either iPad or Apple TV, but again, no toggle switch displays when selecting Apple TV.
    The same issue with my Mac Pro (10.7.5).
    However, my iPhone 5 (6.0.1) mirrors perfectly with the apple tv.
    Note, Home share is working fine.
    best regards,
    Don

    The iPad 1 does not support mirroring at all. Nor does your Mac Pro when running 10.7.5; Mirroring via AirPlay came only with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.

    FaceTime & Messages now won't open on my iPad. Now no toggle switch in settings. Log in with my Apple ID sends activation error message 'try again'. Both Apps work on my iPhone & Mac.Any help?

    Adjusting the date or time didn't do anything for me either. I'm guessing my two options are to either do the full restore from scratch and not apply any backup ... Or possibly wait for an iOS update that might resolve this issue.
    I'm not that much of an avid twitter user that I need it implemented natively in all my devices - so for now I'll probably value all my game save data, internal settings in apps e.t.c. over that functionality (or over the amount of work it would be to get me back to where I am now after a full wipe). I'll see what happens after the next iOS delta update. I'll reevaluate the full wipe after that if the issue hasn't been resolved
