How to Disable a PARTICULAR action key?

Hi,
I know how to turn off action keys from BIOS. What i want to is just disable the help action of the F1key. I basically want it o have no fuction (so that it would perform the assigned function for the game) like the f5 key on my Envy 15t. I use the f1 key in games, since every time i press it it opens up the help, i want to disable it. However, i do not want to disable the rest and want to be able use them without having to press the FN key.
I am not sure if there is a solution to this problem but i would still love to hear some suggestions.
Thank You.

Hi,
If just for Windows XP: you should be able to disable the help stuff by disabling the Help and Support service. (start->type services.msc->press enter).
And for Windows 7 (Vista could be the same):

How to disable a particular cell in JTable ?

I having a problem on how to set disable a particular cell in JTable. At the first place to load the JTable, I want to set some of the cell to disabled, it only will run at the first time, is there anyway to do it ?

This is the function that disable/enable cells in JTables.
Are you looking for this?
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col)
if(((new Integer((String)(getValueAt(row,0)).toString()).intValue()>9))&&(col==1))
    return true;
if(row!=4&&col!=5)
    return true;
return false;
     this metod belong to the TableModel function
and what I gave you is only an example of what you can do with it.
if it return false it disable and if true it enable the cell...but I think this you allready know!

How to disable windows 8 f key shortcuts

I am using windows 8 and HP Pavilion laptop.
I am playing games that require using f keys sometimes, but these f keys do different things in the desktop or whatsoever.
F1 opens up some kind of windows help bar, f2 makes the screen darker and f3 lighter.
I searched HP support forums and found someone else having the same problem. I followed the instructions and went to disable my action keys in system configurations. I saved the new settings and rebooted laptop, but still those fkeys work without using fn button.
What to do ?

Hello JoonaNikolai,
You state after disabling the action keys in the BIOS the F keys still work without having to use the FN key along with them, is that correct? I will try to assist you with this.
Can you please provide the make and model of the computer you have, if you are unsure where to locate that information have a look at this link for help.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

How to disable a particular CELL in matrix?????

Hi All,
I have a doubt regarding the matrix.In my matrix the first column is a combobox it has a,b,c items....so if i select 'a' the remaining 'b' & 'c' columns should get disabled....previously iam able to disable the 'b' & 'c' columns but it's disabling the total 'b & 'c' columns in my matrix.....i just want to disable the particular cell based on the combobox selection....can we disable a particular cell in matrix.....
regards,
shangai.

Shangai,
here were many threads about this in last month. Try to search in history.
BTW, the particular cell cannot be disabled (only whole column), but you could make system, that the cell is enabled but you cannot click on it (when user clicks on the cell, set bubbleeevnt to fasle).

How to disable detection of ESCAPE key in JDialog?

Hi,
I've implemented a non-modal JDialog, and to be sure the user doesn't close it I call setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE)However, the user can always close it by pressing the ESCAPE key.
Key binding does not work as the dialog is not a JComponent, and a KeyListener seems not to work.
Is there a way to catch the ESCAPE key?
Thanks in advance for any hint.

However, the user can always close it by pressing the ESCAPE key.Is this a new feature in JDK1.5 or JDK6?
The escape key is not supported by default in JDK1.4.2 so I'm surprised that its turned on by default in later versions.
This is how I add the funtionality in JDK1.4.2:
Action escapeAction = new AbstractAction()
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
          System.out.println("escape");
          setVisible( false );
KeyStroke escapeKeyStroke = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE, 0, false);
getRootPane().getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT)
     .put(escapeKeyStroke, "escape");
getRootPane().getActionMap().put("escape", escapeAction);So, presumably you could override the default behaviour by using a dummy Action.

How to disable a particular row in a JTable

How can a disable only a particular row/column in a JTable.
I am trying to create an XML Notepad type of application for which I need the row which contains the root element or any element which has a child element to be disabled. How can I achieve this??
I would be grateful for replies.

Hi,
Create your own class which extends TableModel and in that class u override the method
public boolean isCellEditable( int row, int col)
As u know the row and col which u want to disable hard code those values in the method.
Like
public boolean isCellEditable( int row, int col)
if( row == 2 and col == 1 )
return false
else
return true
Hopefully this provides u with a solution.
Cheers :)

How to disable PanelAccordion overflow action?

Hello all,
I am using jdeveloper 11.1.1.2.0. I created a dynamic menu with PanelAccordion using ShowDetailItem. I put the PanelAcordion in a scrollable PanelGroupLayout.
Here is my code:
<af:panelGroupLayout id="pt_pgl8" layout="scroll">
<af:panelAccordion id="pa1" discloseNone="true">
<af:forEach items="#{backingBeanScope.backing_userTemplate.mainGategories.allRowsInRange}" var="menuItem">
<af:showDetailItem text="#{menuItem.categoryName}" id="sdi1" flex="1" stretchChildren="first"
inlineStyle='background-image:url("../images/site-background-image.gif");'>
<af:panelGroupLayout id="acordin" layout="scroll">
<af:forEach items="#{backingBeanScope.backing_userTemplate.realtedCategories.}" var="subs"
<af:commandImageLink icon="/ImageServlet?Id=#{subs.imageId}" id="subsIm" shortDesc="subs.name"/>
</af:forEach>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</af:showDetailItem>
</af:forEach>
</af:panelAccordion>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
Code is creating the menu. However there are two problems.
1. If the number of 1st level menu items(ShowDetailItem) is too many to fit the area, panel accordion creates an arrow(bottom overflow icon) in the bottom for other elements' list. But instead I want to see al elements in a scrollable panelgrouplayout. Is there a way to disable overflow action or stretch the Panel accordion in height?
2. Second problem is, the height of each ShowDetailItem. I want its height to be enough to cover the inside elements(imageLinks). But it has a fixed height of 100(inflexibleheight) in default. I think it is related to the 'Flex' attribute of ShowDetailItem but I couldn' figure it out. How can I dynamically set the height of the ShowDetailItem?
Thanks in advance,
Ozgur

Hi Ozgur,
Were you able to find a way to disable the PanelAccordion Overflow and show all ShowDetailItems under a scroll-bar?
Thanks,
Makrand

How to disable F1 to F12 keys in Web Browser when SWF file is in focus

Hi all,
Im running / loading a swf file in IE. I want to disable the
function keys ( F1- F12 keys) in IE as I have defined special
functions for these keys in my swf / flash file.Im using a
javascript code to do this and the javascript code is working
correctly.But the problem starts when the swf file is in focus,
when swf file is in focus and if I press the F3 key the search of
IE opens, but I have defined a special function in my swf file for
this key, here the IE is overriding and it's taking the precedence
in the event handling this is what I want to disable.So that I can
catch the event in SWF file or get the Key code and run the my
function defined for the key.
Thanks.

When testing my applets on a Linux Web site Im finding that I have to totally exit the browser, then open up a new browser session to see the updates on my applets. Yes. Applets can be horrible for caching. I am surprised that exiting and restarting the browser works. I usually clear the cache in the Java Console.
..The refresh button on the browser wont show the new version of the jar file program. I find this consistent with Firefox, MS Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome.
Is there some type of browser option that will allow the next jar version to be run without having to exit out of the browser to see it?
No, but if the Java Console is open, it is pretty easy to force a refresh of the classes.
As an aside, for a more general solution for your end users, look to launch the app. using [Java Web Start|http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/javawebstart/index.jsp] . Updates are reliable and automatic.
Thanks in advance for any comments on this.No worries (in advance).
Note that my reply would have been sooner, except that I felt compelled to get that matter of the link in your post dealt with, before commenting.

How to disable a particular node in JTree?

Hi
I am working with an application where in which I have a tree component and when a select a node and click a disable button , I want to disable the selected node(that is no further selection of that node possible until I enable it). I am using DefaultTreeCellRenderer for rendering nodes. I tried the following.
DefaultTreeCellRenderer renderer = (DefaultTreeCellRenderer)tree.getCellRenderer();
JLabel label = (JLabel) renderer.getTreeCellRendererComponent(tree,selectedNode,true,true,false,row,true);
label.setEnabled(false);
But it doesn't work.
Does any one know how to do this?
Thank you.

Its not going to work if you implement the TreeCEllRenderer, cos' all it does is paint your tree.
What u need to implement is the treeSelectionListener interface,
and override the addSelectedPath(path), addSelectedPath(paths[]) etc.
You might want to create a list of all the nodes that the user selectes to diable, and then in these methods decide if the node is that then do not allow its selection.

How to disable a particular record in a block???help

Hi
i am form in which there is a db block.the block shows 12 records at a time...also the block has 12 db items but only 8 are on the canvas..4 four of these eight items are display items
My requiremnt is that if the value in..say..item_5 is 17 at any number of record then the particlar record becomes disabled. is it possible to achieve in forms 6i...
i would be extremly grateful if any one could work that out for me..as this is the requirement of my programme..
thanks in advance,
regrard,
Asim.

On the four items that the user can update, in your post-query trigger do this:
Set_item_instance_property('BLOCKNAME.ITEMNAME',
to_number(:System.trigger_record),
Update_allowed,Property_false);This will prevent the user from making any changes to the data, so Forms will not allow changes to the record. You will also need to prevent the user from deleting the record by adding code to the key-delrec trigger.

Hi Rajesh,
I've seen your query all over the internet, so I should warn you I don't believe it's possible to disable a List Item.
For that you should use Josh Tynjala's open source Advanced List (http://code.google.com/p/flextoolbox/downloads/list).

You Can disable that functionality by disabling "Action Keys Mode" in the BIOS...
Here is the document, that will help you with it... http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02035108&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_US
