How to disable the "scroll lock" pointer?

I use 2-finger swipe to scroll on my trackpad.
I often get my pointer transformed into a scrolling pointer: it is gray circle about 1 cm in diameter, with a small white circle in the middle, 1 small arrow tip pointing down below the circle and 1 arrow tip pointing up above the circle.
This happens mostly when I touch the trackpad with 2 fingers, like when I am about to scroll with 2-finger gesture.
If I could post a png image I would but that is about as accurate as I could describe it.
When it appears, it locks the scrolling (with 1 finger swipe it keeps scrolling in the direction of the swipe).
This is very annoying because it interferes with the 2-finger scrolling.
Sometimes I get a "move" pointer (same as the one a above but arrow tips in all 4 directions).
Does anybody know what this "feature" is called and how to disable it?
Thanks

Hi,
The Scrollbar in the activeX browser is the property of the page being loaded and not the container.
If you have access to editing the HTML files that you are loading, add the following line in the html document:
If you don't have write access to the html files, then you can cover the scroll area of the activeX container with another activeX container. You can't use a decoration to cover it since the activeX container will remain on top.
I hope this helps.

  • Anyone know how to disable the "caps lock" key?

    I'm a klutz typist who needs to look at the keys when I type, and I often hit the caps lock key by mistake and have to go back and retype a lot. There used to be in the real old days a freeware utility to do this, but I don't know how to do it today.

  • ALPS pointing device - how to restore the scrolling function

    Until a couple of days ago, my mousepad allowed me to scroll. I've tried looking at the settings in control panel/mouse but the options have disappeared.
    Is it a driver issue? If so, which driver should I download, and where from?
    The current driver is:
    v5.3.203.18
    and was created 17/07/2003
    If it's not a driver issue, does anyone have any suggestions on how to restore the scrolling function?
    Many thanks :)

    Thank you for your replies :) Unfortunately, I can't rollback as system restore has been turned off as well as all the other odd things that have been happening.
    Eldorado, I'll give your suggestion a try :)
    Once I've uninstalled and rebooted, will the laptop definitely find the driver automatically when it starts up?
    I'm worried that it won't, and that I won't be able to use the computer...

  • How can we disable the OSX Access Point functionality without disabling all wifi.

    Curious if anyone knows a way in Lion/Mountain Lion to disable the OSX access point features.
    i have about 50+ macs in our company for iOS development. lately we've had a lot of rogue AP's showing up, people bridging the internal network by activating the "become a hotspot" feature in OSX. this is a *GREAT* feature, don't get me wrong. especially the latency and ease of use.. but in our case its causing problems, and i'm looking at a way to disable the AP features without disabling ALL wifi with something like.
    /usr/sbin/networksetup -setairportpower en1 off
    this is a bit too much ,it disables the entire airport/wifi. we want to only disable the access point capabilities.
    any hardcore guru's out there have some advise?
    TIA!

    Enabling sharing services requires administrative access, so one option is to set this and only give folks standard "managed" access. The Internet Sharing service is a process called "InternetSharing" that runs as the root user and establishes all the appropriate services for the needed connection. You could technically remove or even rename this process on systems to prevent it from being used, or remove or disable its launch daemon. These files are in the following directories:
    /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.InternetSharing.plist
    /usr/libexec/InternetSharing

    If you see that pop up you enabled icloud. Whether you want or do not want now to use it irrelevant until you actually disable activation lock.
    In order to do that you have to change your apple id back to do that just long enough to sign in and back out. System will ask you to verify, don't.
    Just sign in on the prompt you getting and then logout. Once done, change apple id to what you have now and verify. Then decide if you want to
    use icloud (who does not want to be able to track their phone if lost or stolen).

    I've had the same issue bugging me since installing Snow, er, lion, er, cat, er, cougar, er, Mountain Lion. Incredibly ANNOYING.
    It's stupid stuff like this and reverse scrolling that really turn long-timer users off. I'm personally glad Forstall got fired for blunders such as these.
    I'm serious peeved that turning off iCloud Documents & Data actually deletes documents and data locally. That's just incredibly stupid.
    MANY thanks mende1 for the answer on how to fix it.

  • Lost my iphone and located on map it using the fing phone app. The second I located it the phone went offline. Whoever has it knows how to disable the find feature. What are my alternatives? Can at

    Lost my iphone and located it on the map, using the find a phone app. The second I had the location the phone went offline. Apparently, whoever has it knows how to disable the find a phone feature. Do I have any alternatives? Can AT&T or the police track the phone?

    ATT won't unless they are asked to do so by the police and unless a major crime is involved, the police won't request this just for a stolen phone.
    If the iPhone is running iOS 6, sounds like you didn't have the passcode lock feature enabled. Nothing prevents someone from powering the iPhone off and the same for removing the SIM card.

  • How to disable spacebar scrolling

    The question of how to disable spacebar scrolling is discussed on these pages:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/935601
    http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=722865&start=0
    The solution given is to use the Keyconfig extension to reassign the use of the spacebar. However, the instructions are somewhat incomplete.
    After finally getting it to work, I wanted to elaborate on the instructions. (Since those topics are closed, I'm starting a new one.)
    <pre>1. Install the Keyconfig extension from this page:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyconfig_extension
    2. Make sure the Firefox Menu Bar is visible.
    3. From the Tools Menu, select Keyconfig.
    4. Click the Add a new key button.
    5. In the Name fleld, type a name for the keyboard shortcut, such as "Spacebar."
    6. To make this apply to all pages, click the Global checkbox.
    7. Click OK.
    8. In the Keyconfig main window, select the new shortcut, such as "Spacebar."
    9. Click where it says <Disabled>, and type a space. The term <VK_SPACE> appears.
    10. Click Apply.
    11. Click Close.</pre>

    Thank you shmuel67!

    How to disable the maximize and minimize button of JDialog. I have an application which has JDialog box, but in that i should not have maximize and minimize button.If any one come across this problem and got a solution please helpout me.

    Btw, isn't it a little strange to ask thisquestion...
    Actually, I thought it was meant to be sardonic...
    Dialogs don't have those buttons, so the question
    n should be to the OP how did he/she get them in the
    first place? Cuz they aren't using JDialog to do it,
    unless it's something to do with a specific look &

  • How i disable the frame window??

    how i disable the frame window??
    i had used frame.disable(); function but its not work...
    disable function works only on components its not work on frame..

    hi!
    1) which one you are using? Frame/JFrame ?
    2) exactly what do you want to disable?
    a) entire frame including titlebar buttons
    b) just all the child components, menus, toolbar buttons
    c) what should be the behavior of taskbar at the time of disabled frame object?
    i think for a proper and to the point solution these are thing one need to know.

  • Reading the scroll lock key

    How could I make LabVIEW read the status of the scroll lock key (on or off)?

    Using an event structure will only tell you if you pressed the scroll lock key, it will not tell you the current state of the scroll lock LED on your keyboard. For that you need to call user32.dll. The function is: unsigned char GetKeyState(long nVirtKey). I use this to get the state of the caps lock key, for which I pass this function 20. I'm not sure what the value of scroll lock is.
    I've attached my caps lock key VI so you can see how to do it.
    Edit: beaten to the punch.

    How to disable iPhone 5 lock screen voice over passcode?

    I'm not at all sure what you're asking.
    I guess you might mean you would like Siri to function when the iPhone is locked.  You can do that by going to
    Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Siri = "On".
