How to keep new applications on top within windows 8.1 desktop

In previous Window versions when one opened applications such as word, excel or browser or snipping tool these applications stayed on top.
However, in windows 8.1 now when ne application is openned, one needs to minize other applications before starting to use it. This is very non productive use of time and prevents swtiching between dpendent application, open version of documents, and
images.
Please provide suggestions how to configure the system to enable latest application on top.
Thank you.

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, you can keep new applications on top of all other windows on your desktop, even while you're working in other programs.
I would like to suggest you restoring healthy by using this command: dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth first.
Meanwhile, please ask on the following forum. This is where the Windows 8.1 experts answer questions.

How to keep new cursor on top of swf movie

I've got a website I made in Flash, and on the main page I'm doing two things: playing an external SWF movie file and changed the cursor to a custom shape. The cursor works, but it won't show up on top of the movie; it keeps going behind it when I try to go over it. How do I fix that?

On my main page I have the simple code of:
loadMovieNum("home.swf",1)
stop();
Mouse.hide();
startDrag("cursor", true);
"home.swf" is the movie that's playing that takes precedence to the cursor.

If you think Apple's is making a profit off the $99 it collects for the iPhone Developer Program membership, you're badly underestimating how much it costs to run the program.

How to start a application with a login window?

hi there
does anyone have any idea on how to start an application with a login window? a login window is the first frame or window to be displayed when an application starts running. and only correct login id and password have been entered the real application will start. any sample out there? thank you.

You can start a new thread by making a thread object and passing it an implementation of a runnable object. Runnable has just one method, public void run(), this is was gets executed in a second thread. perhaps the code you would use would look something like this.
<code>
// set up thread for login window
new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// construct your login window here
// when you are done processing the
// password....
if(goodPassword) {
authorized = true; // a global variable
notifyAll(); // don't forget this
else {
System.exit(42);
}).start();
// control does not stop this code gets executed while
// the above thread is running.
// Set up main program here. This is done in the
// backround.
while(!authorized) {
synchronized(this)
{ wait(50); }
// now when the user logs in this frame pops
// up real quick.
myFrame.setVisible(true);
</code>
Hope you can figure it out.. good luck :)

The touch screen on my nearly brand new Pavillion lap top running windows 8 no longer works.

The touch screen on my nearly brand new Pavillion lap top running windows 8 no longer works. Cant use calibration tools as there's no response to touch. No option in control panal to turn on or off touch capability. I have no computer background so cant really get to technical. Is something simple turned on or off located in some mysterious place? F key or something? Bad machine? Thanks for any input. Sarah

I found the driver at the above link. I installed the driver, disabled my graphics card and rebooted. The touchscreen worked. Then I enabled the graphics card. So far so good. Hope I dont have to do this routine too often.
Good luck with it.

How to keep an image "in place" within a document using Pages?

Here's what I want solved. When I position an image (like a jPeg photo) within a document I take a great amount of care as to how it looks in the layout. BUT, if I add a new line of text ABOVE the image, all the text moves, but the image stays in place. When the text above moves down, any kind of "art direction" is lost.
Yes, I know there is a way to "LOCK" the image, but that doesn't solve this issue. The formatting still moves all the text and the image is stuck, LOCKED or UN-LOCKED.
I want to know if there is a way to KEEP THE IMAGE in place within the text. I want to be able to edit above the image and not have the headache of needing to move the image every single time I change something above it.
Does this make sense?
I have to assume there is a way to do this, I just haven't figured it out.
I am using Pages 09.
thanks,
Mike C

(a little bit more)
This text below is from the Pages help menu, but (sadly) This does NOT solve my problems.
Locking and Unlocking Floating Objects
You can lock floating objects to avoid inadvertently moving them as you work. Inline objects cannot be grouped or locked.
After you lock individual or grouped objects, you can’t move, delete, or modify them in any way until you unlock them. However, a locked object can be selected, copied, or duplicated; when you copy or duplicate a locked object, the new object is also locked.
To lock a floating object:
Select the objects you want to lock, and then choose Arrange > Lock.
To unlock a floating object:
Select the objects you want to unlock, and then choose Arrange > Unlock.

How to keep an application level object running with SunIDM?

We are working on intergrate a gmail project with SunIDM. We need an application level object running with SunIDM so it will maintain a token generated from Gmail side. In anther servlet project, I had this object saved in the attribute of the ServletContext, then other session level servlet could share this attribute anytime. Is there a way to store attribute in Servlet Context and have it shared by different user session in SunIDM? I have been reading documents and searched this forum, haven't find any topics related how to maintain an application level object live. Hopefully that I can get some hint here.
Thank you so much.

Paul, Thank you so much for the further explaination. I don't think it will work since the token generated from gmail will expire every 24 hours.
We are using the gdata library published from by gmail people, and I create a new UserService object and have it run in the application level. The UserService object will generate a token and renew it every 24 hours behind the scene. Here is how I implement it in my Servlet project:
//to have a UserService object running at the application level:
public class GmailUserService extends HttpServlet {
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException{
super.init();
userService = new UserService(myApplication);
config.getServletContext().setAttribute("gmailUserService", userService);
//to access this UserService object from other servlet in each user session:
UserService userService = (UserService)servletContext.getAttribute("gmailUserService");
Gmail will trigger an error if we create a new UserService object for each user. They recommend to have all the user to share one UserService object. I am looking for similar approach in SunIDM.
Thank you again, Paul, for trying to help.

How to Develop New Application in CRM

Hi all,
I need your help to guide me in deciding which transactions, customization and/or development tools that i should use for developing new application in CRM to replace an existing web based application?
The following steps are some the current system business processes:
1. User (requester) login to System
2. Click Generate a Request
3. Fill all requirement information on the form which contains user specific fields
4. Click save, system will save the request form with status Issued and generate a control number and display it.
8. User can print the form by clicking Print Information.
9. A notification e-mail will be sent to the selected approver to approve the request
10. Once the approver receives the notification, he can log in to the system and approve/reject the request.
11. Once done, a notification e-mail will be sent to the selected the requestor.
12. User can print the form by clicking Print Information.
Also, the new application needs to enable the user to add/review/update attachments, keep tracking of histories, add note and to have other CRM features.
Please note that last year we developed many portal applications using Web Dynpro for Java and all applications are working fine. However, our management want us to use CRM system as a solution to migrate this web application to SAP.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello Ali,
1. do the requester and approver users have Portal and CRM accounts?
2. What CRM and Portal Version do you use?
3. Is there any decission made which CRM Frontend you should use: PC-UI, IC Web Client, SAP GUI for Windows, Mobile Sales?

Any ways to keep this jframe on the top ? if i use jframe.keep always on the top will thought security exception. I know applets have some security issue to access local OS resources or permission. just need to know any possibitly to achive this somehow?
thnx

I don't think this is possible. Others feel free to correct me. Perhaps try signing the applet or setting the permissions in the policy file.
You can use a JInternalFrame to keep the frame within the JApplet.

Apps open in a new window/space.. how do I turn this off so all windows open in "desktop"?

Whenever I open an app it creates a new space to open the app in. All apps do this, and you can see the windows/spaces by hitting F3; the icons are lined up at the top of the screen. How do I disable this feature so all windows and apps open in the "desktop" space?

How to keep the image centered in the window when mouse zooming in cc 2014

I,m not able to keep the image centered in the window when using the mouse scroll wheel for zooming.

Ctrl + and - keys are meant for "center zoom". As far as I know, the zoom tool is a "point zoom" tool. If you move the zoom tool with your mouse, it will zoom in on that part of the image.
Also Ctrl 0 is "fit to screen" and Ctrl 1 is 100% zoom. (Use Cmd if this is a Mac)

How to keep multiple applications open in one screen?

I'd like to have several applications open at the same time, for example iTunes, Safari and Mail. But when I start a new program the one I was working in disappears from the screen.... How can I keep them resized on the screen....? Thanks for your help...

When you start a new program, do the others disappear into the background (i.e. minimize)
If so, you have somehow gotten the system into Single-app mode. This reacts as if you held down the option key when starting the new app.
You can check to see what is set with this commanddefaults read com.apple.dock single-appIf you get "The domain/default pair of (com.apple.dock, single-app) does not exist" then something else is wrong, but I don't know what it is.
If you get a 1 returned (or yes or true), then you can disable it with this:defaults delete com.apple.dock single-app
or
defaults write com.apple.dock single-app 0
