How can I disable any mouse event while is another is processing?

Hi!
I've a problem and I need some help.
I'm downloading an image in the MouseAdapter's mouseClicked method. So I need to disable any other mouse events produced durring this download. These events can be removed from the queue or is there is any way to disable entering mouse events to the queue while another one is processing?
If anyone can halp me, thanks a lot.

Interesting situation. I would suggest that the downloading be done on another thread; long processes shouldn't be handled on the swing thread in most situations. Then to stop the mouse events you'd simply disable the component that has the mouse listener until the image has finished loading. That way these events will be processed and discarded while the image is loading.
ie,
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
final Component source = (Component)e.getSource;
source.setEnabled(false); //stop further mouse events.
new Thread()
      public void run()
         loadImage(); //should not return until image is loaded
         source.setEnabled(true);
}Hope that helps. :)

How can I disable the mouse button 4 and 5 "forward" and "back" functions through firefox?

I've seen this problem come up on forums before but was unable to find a good solution.
When using Ventrilo, I have my speak button bound to the mouse button 4 of my logitech mouse. This button is conveniently placed for gaming because it makes use of my otherwise unused right thumb, and I have been using it for years and probably couldn't adjust if i tried to change it.
Firefox uses mouse button 4 for the "back" function, meaning that if i'm on ventrilo while browsing the web with firefox, i have to remember to move the cursor to the menu bar at the bottom of my screen or go back a page. it's infuriating if i forgot, especially if i'm playing some sort of browser game at the time, as i basically have to restart whatever i'm doing.
The only solutions i've found for this involve binding mouse button 4 to some other (rarely used) key, which is an annoying solution at best, or changing some vital computer files, which I dont have the expertise to do myself and dont trust anyone else to do for me. It's an absolutely unacceptable solution anyway: why should i have to change my computer's files to disable a function which should be editable through firefox?
does anyone know how this can be fixed? or know how we can get mozilla to put this feature into some future patch, as other people have been asking them to do for YEARS?

This can be a highly frustrating problem. I just spent 45 minutes working on an email. Nearing the end I go to grab my mouse after typing and accidentally hit mouse 4 and lose everything. This isn't the first time I have lost work or an email. I would say the ONLY reason why there currently lacks a strong feedback against this is because the majority of people do not have mouse 4+5 buttons on their mice. Please add the option to just disable this "feature". It's just far to easy to accidentally hit these buttons accidentally and potentially lose a lot. I don't know anyone who actually uses these buttons anyways.

How can I disable the mouse pad? I prefer to use a mouse.

The pad is particularly a nuisance when I try to type, perhps I catch it with my wrists, I don't know. I'd rather use a mouse.

The 'quick and dirty' way would be to cover the trackpad with something thick enough not to pickup 'taps' or 'gestures'. A business card cut to fit tightly should be thick enough, but I use a three thicknesses of index card glued together and cut to fit tightly into the trackpad opening ''(one corner cut off so I can remove it when I do need to use the trackpad)''. I did that back in 2008 with an Acer laptop and do it now with my Asus EeePC 900 netbook; if I don't have the mouse with me ''(or the battery is dead - wireless USB mouse)'' I just remove the cardboard "plug" so I can use the trackpad.
Beyond that, check with a Windows 7 support forum to see how to disable that "device". That really isn't a Firefox support issue.

How can I disable mouse shortcuts (mission control, etc) in games?

I just installed the new Deus Ex: Human Revolution from the App Store and I'd like to use the miltiple mouse buttons my Logitech mouse has in my game. I can set up the controls to use various buttons in the game, but I also have the same mouse buttons set up in the System Preferences to be used for mouse shortcuts. The problem is, when I try to use the game, the "All Applications" or the "Show Desktop" shortcuts kick in instead of the games setup controls.
How can I disable the Mouse Shortcuts for the system while I'm in the game?

Forgive me... I should have said:
How do I permenantly disable the shortcuts only while in the game, without having to redo my System Preferences every time I start or stop my game?

Hello.. I have one problem. I used automator to automaticly sync my photos to iphoto. Now I don't want it any more. How can I disable it?

Hello.. I have one problem. I used automator to automaticly sync my photos to iphoto. Now I don't want it any more. How can I disable it?

If you have iPhoto v9.6.1 then just launch it. Done.
IF you don't, download it:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

How can I disable the event sound played when a new window is opened?

When Firefox starts, or when a new window is opened there is an annoying click.
How can I disable this?
The only way I have been able to stop it is by disabling all event sounds from the control panel but I'd rather just disable this particular sound.

No, it's Windows XP. Hmmm, I don't know! I only started noticing it recently and as far as I remember, the only new add on is NoScript. I found the event that was being triggered (Start Connection) and disabled the sound in Windows. So the problem is solved in that I don't have the annoying sound ... but don't know why it started and hope nothing sinister is going on.

Question: Do you think the response from the support staff is correct? I mean, surely, I can't be the only CF user on a shared box whose other users need to modify the date and time within their applications. Even if they do it at the application level for their domain, surely it wouldn't affect mine, would it? That was what was implied by the support people, but I have a feeling they are way off, or covering for some goof-up on their end. I struggled like hell yesterday trying to get this to work and I did not get very far at all.
I found an interesting tutorial here which does a comparison of time zones and, theoretically, this might do the trick. But if what the guy told me was nonsense then I won't bother with it. For the record, our calendar has been working fine for about a week now.

How can I disable the annoying orange outline while I tap a link or a input area?

i'm a user of Firefox for android. i've found a problem since I update to 16.0.2 and above. every time i tap a link or a input text in the web page, there always shows an annoying orange rectangle outline around the focused link or input area. Moreover, this outline would keep showing while I drag the page and start browsing other parts of the same page. how can I disable the annoying feature?

This is the default feature of the browser to indicate which element are you on, if you are actually on focus with the input or tapping on the right link.
Since this is a default feature of the browser, it now depends on the website's developer to override this feature with custom focus styles. Normally, in a browser, you can override this with user styles/scripts but as far as I know, Firefox Android does not support such features.
However, I found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/929362 an article] that states that there is a [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ plugin] that is compatible with Firefox Android that handles user styles.

You will need to restore your iPhone from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

If you can't do the restore then you will need to try recovery mode.

็้้How can I disable hotkeys?

How can I disable FF hotkeys as there are problems when I use other programs at the same time?

Thanks a lot for the answer Shmoopie99,
"If your plugin is running as a separate process it should not be getting any events meant for Photoshop if your plugin process is active."
Yes that is almost correct. I dont want to get into useless details but I have no problems there and events meant for Photoshop dont disturb me.
"If you're spinning an event loop in your Photoshop side of things, only process UI update events - ignore any other events such as input events."
I cant ignore input events because I need them. The problem is not my tool getting input events from Photoshop, is Photoshop the one geting events comming to me.
The only connection to Photoshop I keep in my process is that is parented to photoshop using the HWND handler.
I must insist in the question then... How to make Photoshop wait while my window is in focus? How to disable accelerators?

How can I disable any mouse event while is another is processing?
