How can I make CS6 panels "sticky"?

This is probably a very basic question.  In the previous versions of Photoshop I've used (CS3, CS5), when I opened multiple panels (e.g. History, Info, etc) they would all stay open for reference.  However with CS6 I've noticed that if I have, say, the History panel open, and also open, say, Info, then the History panel closes.
How can I change this behavior such that each panel I open will stay open and visible until I direct it otherwise?  It's frustrating to have to keep using Window->History (or whatever) each time I need to see one or the other.
Thanks!

Hi,
Te only thing you need to do is that , just click on the arrows that says "Expand Panels". By looking at your query it seems that currently you have the panels collapsed.
If the panels are collapsed they wont remain open, but they gets hidden and then you have to click on the icons related to each panel.
To overcome this, just Expand Panels and then every panel that you may open will behave as you needed.
Please find the arrow in the image below :
Hope it helps !!
Thanks,

  • How can I make a Panel's Title Wordwrap?

    Is there a way to make a panel's title be multiline? I've got a panel where the title is dynamic. I don't know how long the title will be. As it works now, the the title occaisionally gets cut-off. Is there a way to wordwrap a panel's title?
    <mx:Panel id="mySchoolPanel" " 
              title="{myTitle}"
             width="230"
             x="710" y="150"
             headerHeight="50" >
    Thank you.

    The layout logic of Panel appears to assume a single line of text in the title, so to get word-wrapping you may need to extend the class. I had a go at it below - will probably need some tweaking:
    package
        import mx.containers.Panel;
        public class WrappingPanel extends Panel
            // Hard coded padding above and below title text. Should be broken-out
            // into a style.
            private static const HEADER_PADDING : int = 6;
            protected override function createChildren():void
                super.createChildren();
                titleTextField.wordWrap = true;
            protected override function getHeaderHeight():Number
                // Set the header height dynamically based on the height of the title
                return titleTextField.measuredHeight + HEADER_PADDING * 2;
            protected override function updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number, unscaledHeight:Number):void
                super.updateDisplayList( unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight );
                // Set the height of the title to fit all text
                titleTextField.height = titleTextField.measuredHeight;
                // Position the title
                titleTextField.y = HEADER_PADDING;

  • How can I make the spry accordion remember the panel open when I refresh the page or jump to a new page?

    How can I make the spry accordion remember the panel open
    when I refresh the page or jump to a new page?
    I am using the accordion feature on all my pages as a
    navigation aid. It has three panels. When you refresh the page the
    panel goes back to the default pane... Is there a way of
    controlling this so that the browser can remember the pane that is
    open (say set a variable, cookie, other?)

    Look for "Set the default open panel" on the following page:
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/accordion_overview/index.html
    Keep in mind you would need to change that bit of code on
    every page. The only way to do it more dynamically would be to
    include a custom javascript or PHP/ASP style script in order to
    change the value.

    How can I make a global change so all controls and indicators labels on the front panel change to another colour?
    I need to change the front panel so that it can be used in a dark environment.

    Hi
    The only way I see, is to use the "Controls[]" property and iterate through all of them. But don't forget about nested elements (i.e. clusters, tab-controls, ...).

  • How can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.

    When the show button is pressed (and not before), a filled black square should be
    displayed in the display area. The combo box (or drop down list) that enables the user to choose the colour of
    the displayed shape and the altering should take effect immediately.When the show button is pressed,
    the image should immediately revert to the black square, the combo box should show the value that
    correspond to the black.
    Now ,the problem is: after I pressed show button, the image is reverted to the black square,but I don't know
    how can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.
    Any help or hint?Thanks a lot!

    But if I want ONLY fade out (or in) I can't do it...
    OK, I understand what you mean now! I assumed you were asking about the normal Fade In or Fade Out using the transition from the Transitions panel. But I guess you mean the Fade function specific to a Cutaway. When you double-click on a Cutaway the Inspector opens. Here you can set the Cutaway Fade duration. But as you say, it only provides for both fade in and fade out as one operation - you can't set the fades individually (it's both or nothing).
    BUT, try the method outlined by Karsten Schluter above. It will give you the same effect and will enable you to fade either side of the Cutaway (or add other transitions).

  • How can I make a "property node" for a VI?

    Hello!
    If I add a boolean button on the FP then I am able to make a property node for that button in the Block Diagram. But how can I make a property node for a VI? I have several VI:s an that together is one program. What I need to do is to verify what kind of VI some of my VI:s is. I need to verify if it is .exe or .vi-file, and if it is .exe then I want to disable run, abort, run continuously bottons otherwise not. I have hard that this is possible to do programmaticaly but I can´t figure out how. I am aware that I could do that manually in the File->vi properties->customize->windows appearance but theese choises makes it last forever.
    I want to be able to stop and run and everything if it is a .vi file, but if it is .exe-file then all those buttons should be disabled.
    Anyone have an example on this?
    In an other message at this Forum I read "You can use the `Front Panel Window. Allow Runtime PopUp`" property to disable run-time shortcuts menues programmaticaly, but still I dont know how to create this property node.
    /Amir

    You really shouldn't open a new thread. If you don't understand something, ask and we will explain it.
    Like I said in the other thread, you can check if you are running in LV or an EXE by using the Application>>Kind property. To get it, place a property node (from the Application Control palette) on the diagram, click it and find the property.
    To set the properties for the VI, place another property node, right click it and select Select Class>>VI Server>>VI. You should have the properties you want under Front Panel Window.
    To learn more about LabVIEW, I suggest you try searching this site and google for LabVIEW tutorials. Here and here are a couple you can start with. You can also contact your local NI office and join one of their courses.
    In addition, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide and the LabVIEW user manual (Help>>Search the LabVIEW Bookshelf). I believe chapter 17 of the user manual explains about programmatic control of VIs.

  • How Can I make a slide button1 autoslide another slidebutton2 to false if S.B.2 is True??

    Hi all
    How Can I make this Work! Look at my VI example.
    The VI runs, and the I start to switch the Integrating slide to true. and the random data can be seen in the Peak And Volume indicators.
    Then if I swith the Flow/Temp slide to True (Temp) and the Integrating slide is true, I want the it (The integrating slide) to auto switch to false.
    Now If i switch the The integrating slide to true it must remain true!,
    So If I then swith the Flow/Temp Slide back to false( Flow), Nothing happens with the Integrating slide.
    If I then switch the  Flow/Temp Slide to true( Temp), The integrating slide must reset to off again. and so on...
    Sorry for the long explaination.
    In my Attached Vi, I got it work autoswitching to false, but when The F/T slide is set to Temp, the Integrating slide will not switch to true!!
    Can any body see the problem!

    The event handler is intended to make the user interface easier and to use fewer CPU cycles polling front panel controls. What you want can be done without it. See the attached file. For one control it is not too much different. If you had 5-10 controls or their interaction was more complex, the event handler would have a greater advantage. Also the event handler can easily monitor numeric or string inputs, enums, and other controls.

    How can I make Use of PS and Ai (offer) in spite of running Windows Vista ?

    Once you have signed up, you could - in theory - choose "other version" under the icon on the CC website and install CS6, but I'm not sure if that works for this special offer or only for "full" CC. Anyway, it seems simple enough to upgrade to Win 7 or Win 8 and perhaps you were planning on starting fresh, anyway...
