How can I prevent the text in non-resizable contexts from being cut off?

I have not changed the Application, System, or Dialog fonts from their defaults.  
This is the result:

Medium might be the default for high ppi monitors but it is very different from the original windows settings that were used when 96 ppi was standard. Of course for a high resolution FullHD resolution on a 15 inch screen you end up with a ppi of around 150ppi.
This article explains somewhat the history of where 96ppi came from and that it was in fact already a convinient misrepresentation of the real values. The problem is partly that LabVIEW makes some assumptions about the size of text based on the actual ppi settings while the rendering of the text as done by Windows can be scaled by your control panel adjustment. However the solution is not as trivial as replacing all assumbtions about the size of text by the new values as that won't always give the correct values either and also has quite a lot of other issues such as controls suddenly looking very oversized when moving a front panel from a low ppi device to a high ppi device. Basically the way Windows deals with screen resolution and different ppi makes it simple for Windows to render text on a display without ugly aliasing effects but makes it impossible for an application to both be text and size accurate when rendering windows like a LabVIEW front panel.
 It's also a reason why so called retina displays still don't really work under Windows while IOS has them already for quite some time.
Ravens Fan, Windows 7 has Normal (100%), Medium (125%) and Larger (150%). To maintain the relative text size on an old CRT for a FullHD 15 inch labtop display one would have to use the Larger setting, which is outright ugly. I personally use Smaller on all my Windows 7 labtops because of issues like the LabVIEW front panels rendering but also many other applications get into trouble otherwise. Yes it looks kind of small on my FullHD 15 inch LCD monitor, but at least it is all consistent.

  • How can I stop the last character of my password from being displayed?

    Sorry, I'm sure this would have been asked before, but I couldn't locate it..
    When unlocking my iPad, how can I stop it from displaying the last character of my password to everyone in the vicinity? This has got to be the fastest way to find out someone's password (just look at the screen as they type their 'secure' password!?). Having the iPad display your password letter by letter is really not acceptable when working in a non-secure environment.
    Is there a setting somewhere, or will this be addressed in a new iOS, or just ignored as a 'that's the way it is'?
    Thanks in advance,
    Andy

    Hi,
    This may have been the way it has been on iOS since 2008 (not sure about that though), however I know (based on working in the IT industry for 20 years) that nobody on this planet can successfully argue that it would be 'acceptable security practice', for me to display 'every last letter' as I type of a secure 'root' password on my screen every day when you log in... Nobody would think it acceptable to display even their LAN/Domain password on the screen in this same manner. So why is iOS different?!
    iOS on a phone (it used to be argued) doesn't need to be very secure as it is almost entirely phone numbers and email addresses that are being stored. However in recent years when the applications got better, and tablets came out, security became a much bigger issue as more and more people started using the functions of 'smart' phones to store more 'sensitive' data.
    Kind regards,
    Andy
    Are you suggesting that someone looking over your shoulder can't see the keys that you're tapping with your fingers? In the interest of security, i would never, under any circumstances, enter a password when others are around.

  • How can I prevent the open/save file confirmation window popup ? Mine is currently set for "always do this action" but I still get the popup.

    Whenever I "export" a QIF file from my bank I get a File Action confirmation window popup. I have the correct application selected and I have it selected to "open" and "always do this action" but the popup always pops.
    I have checked the applications tab and the correct application is selected.
    How can I prevent the confirmation popup window please ?

    Cheers for the reply.
    I have deleted the rdf file but no difference. I still get the opening file box popup.
    From the resetting download actions link. Both lines in the about:config are missing.
    I have also tried switching the download option for the qif file to use a csr file but that also opens the confirmation box.
    I pulled this from the rdf file

  • How can I get the "text" field from the actionEvent.getSource() ?

    I have some sample code:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    public class JFrameTester{
         public static void main( String[] args ) {
              JFrame f = new JFrame("JFrame");
              f.setSize( 500, 500 );
              ArrayList < JButton > buttonsArr = new ArrayList < JButton > ();
              buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "first" ) );
              buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "second" ) );
              buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "third" ) );
              MyListener myListener = new MyListener();
              ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 0 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
              ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 1 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
              ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 2 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
              JPanel panel = new JPanel();
              panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 0 ) );
              panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 1 ) );
              panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 2 ) );
              f.getContentPane().add( BorderLayout.CENTER, panel );
              f.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
              f.setVisible( true );
         public static class MyListener  implements ActionListener{
              public MyListener() {}
              public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
                   System.out.println( "hi!! " + e.getSource() );
                   // I need to know a title of the button (which was clicked)...
    }The output of the code is something like this:
    hi! javax.swing.JButton[,140,5,60x25,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.5,
    border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$CompoundBorderUIResource@1ebcda2d,
    flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,
    disabledSelectedIcon=,margin=javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource[top=2,left=14,bottom=2,
    right=14],paintBorder=true,paintFocus=true,pressedIcon=,rolloverEnabled=true,
    rolloverIcon=,rolloverSelectedIcon=,selectedIcon=,text=first,defaultCapable=true]
    I need this: "first" (from this part: "text=first" of the output above).
    Does anyone know how can I get the "text" field from the e.getSource() ?

    System.out.println( "hi!! " + ( (JButton) e.getSource() ).getText() );I think the problem is solved..If your need is to know the text of the button, yes.
    In a real-world application, no.
    In a RW application, a typical need is merely to know the "logical role" of the button (i.e., the button that validates the form, regardless of whether its text is "OK" or "Save", "Go",...). Text tends to vary much more than the structure of the UI over time.
    In this case you can get the source's name (+getName()+), which will be the name that you've set to the button at UI construction time. Or you can compare the source for equality with either button ( +if evt.getSource()==okButton) {...}+ ).
    All in all, I think the best solution is: don't use the same ActionListener for more than one action (+i.e.+ don't add the same ActionListener to all your buttons, which leads to a big if-then-else series in your actionPerformed() ).
    Eventually, if you're listening to a single button's actions, whose text change over time (e.g. "pause"/"resume" in a VCR bar), I still think it's a bad idea to rely on the text of the button - instead, this text corresponds to a logical state (resp. playing/paused), it is more maintainable to base your logic on the state - which is more resilient to the evolutions of the UI (e.g. if you happen to use 2 toggle buttons instead of one single play/pause button).

  • How can we do the validation for non visible records in table control.

    Hi Experts,
      I have a table control which displays list of material details. I have a button to upload the material details from excel file to table control directly. I have to validate all the customers which are exist in the table. But my item (Material) table control displays only 5 rows i.e only 5 entries are visible in module pool screen. The validation is done for 5 records only in PAI event, but i need to do validation for rest of the records too (Which are not visible on items table), if validation fails then needs to display error message.
      How can we do the validation for non visible records in table control.

  • How can we  prevent the PO while creating the sales order

    Hi All,
    How can we prevent the PO number while creating sales order with existing PO. I have checked the box in sales document type as A but still im able to create sales order with same PO.
    Thanks in advance.
    Naveen

    Hi
    In VOV8 check the box
    Check Purchase Order Number
    The purpose of this field is to check for duplicate
    purchase order (PO) numbers during sales order entry. When you select A in
    this field, SAP gives a warning message during sales order creation if another sales
    document for same customer with the same PO number exists already. Leave this
    field blank if you do not want SAP to check for duplicate PO numbers.

  • How can I prevent the flushing of the buffer until the playing is finished in AS3?

    How can I prevent the flushing of the buffer until the playing is finished in AS3?
    Is it possible?
    The buffer is emptied and flushed 10-11 seconds before the real end of the flv file.
    The file is locally saved and I stream it though crtmp server.
    I cannot seek the last 10 seconds because of empty buffer. How can I stop flash from flushing the buffer at end?

    i used the same code and i got it working correctly...
    thanx a lot fot it...
    now i have one more problem with it.
    Actually i created a new class 'ErrorDialog' and the function showErrorDialog() inside it.
    now i want the option YES_NO_OPTION and the function sayshowMsgDialog() returning int value indicating the option selected from the dialog box.
    I tried it with following code
    public
    static
    int
    confirmDialog( String message_in, Component parent_in, String title_in,
    int messageType_in )
    try
    JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane( message_in, messageType_in,
    JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION );
    JDialog dialog = pane.createDialog( parent_in, title_in );
    dialog.setResizable( false );
    dialog.show();
    int optionType = -1;
    try
    optionType = ( ( Integer )( pane.getValue() ) ).intValue();
    catch( Exception ee )
    optionType = -1;
    dialog.dispose();
    return optionType;
    catch( Exception e )
    e.printStackTrace();
    but, since return is after dispose() it is throwing an error 'missing return value'
    can i get some kind of solution for this?
    waiting eagerly...........
