How To Make Shapes Change Colors When Clicking on them. Example Sheet Sales Data.xlsx template with Excel 2013

My question is related to the Sales Data.xlsx template that comes with Excel 2013
IN this workbook is a sheet named Sales Data. It has, 3 shapes. One each for each of the tab sheets in the workbook. When I click on the 'Sales Report' shape it selects the sales report tab. When you do this the shape changes color and the 'Sales Data' shape
also changes color.
However I'm unable to figure out how the colors are changing.
I don't see any macros in the workbook/worksheet. Nor do I see any code for worksheet events. I don't see any modules in VBA either. I think what is happening is that there are 2 shapes. When you click on one, the one shape goes to the background and the
other one comes to the foreground.
I'm no sure how it's doing that.
Can someone look at this template, Sales Data.xlsx that comes with Excel and explain how this functionality works?
Thank You

The shapes are exactly as I suspected, each of 3 sheets has 3 'navigation' shapes. The shape with the same name as the sheet has no hyperlink and is coloured differently to indicate it refers to the active sheet. The other two have hyperlinks linked to respective
sheets. 3x3 shapes, 9 in total, none of them ever change colour!
It's logical though not necessary to name each shape same as the sheet it links to, but they'd work just as well with their original default names.
For aesthetics, the shapes that refer to own sheet have a horizontal line on top, actually two shapes as a group.
If still confused copy each set of 3 shapes to a 4th sheet, or open two new windows so you can see all three sheets at the same time.

[Flex 4.5.1] DropDownController - how NOT to close drop down when clicked on? Example provided!

http://www.nedyalkov.net/filip/flex_projects_tests/DropDownControllerTest/ - view source enabled
When you click the button a drop down is shown. All I want to do is stop it from closing when you click on the drop down. I read a bit from the source code of the DropDownController and it seems like it should check if the mouse is clicked on the openButton or on the dropDown and if it is one of them keep the dropDown open if it's somewhere outside - close it. But in my case - when I click on the dropDown in closes itself... I tried to add it to the hitAreaAdditions... no luck the same problem.
So the question is: How do I make the drop down NOT to close when clicked on?
Please check my example and let me know what am I doing wrong... should be very simple but... thanks!

First to correct my example - since I copied the code for the drop down from the dropDownListSkin it has includeIn="open" which causes my dropDown to be null when I set it to dropDownController.dropDown. To fix the example if you test it just remove the includeIn and autoDestructionPolicy lines.
I believe I have found a bug in the DropDownController, would be nice if adobe employee confirms this or correct me if I am wrong.
Here is the source function the code marked in red is with the issue:
mx_internal function systemManager_mouseDownHandler(event:Event):void
        // stop here if mouse was down from being down on the open button
        if (mouseIsDown)
            mouseIsDown = false;
            return;
        if (!dropDown ||
            (dropDown &&
             (event.target == dropDown
             || (dropDown is DisplayObjectContainer &&
                 !DisplayObjectContainer(dropDown).contains(DisplayObject(event.target))))))
            if (hitAreaAdditions != null)
                for (var i:int = 0;i<hitAreaAdditions.length;i++)
                    if (hitAreaAdditions[i] == event.target ||
                        ((hitAreaAdditions[i] is DisplayObjectContainer) && DisplayObjectContainer(hitAreaAdditions[i]).contains(event.target as DisplayObject)))
                        return;
            closeDropDown(true);
I think these lines of code were ment to look like this (notice the black exclamation mark):
(dropDown &&
             (event.target != dropDown
             || (dropDown is DisplayObjectContainer &&
                 !DisplayObjectContainer(dropDown).contains(DisplayObject(event.target)))))
or like this (should be the same thing):
dropDown && !(DisplayObjectContainer(dropDown).contains(DisplayObject(event.target))
So this bug causes the drop down to close wherever you click when the event.target is the dropDown itself. Workarounds I guess are put another component in the drop down and "cover" the dropDown with it so it doesn't get any hits or use the hitAreaAdditions.

All links change color when click 1

HI, I've tried searching for this as many ways as I can think
of - so forgive me if this has been covered before.
I've made a template file and have a series of links to
various pages (I'm in the VERY beginning stages here). On my pages
that have this template applied, the links go to where they are
supposed to go BUT when I click on 1, all the links change to the
"visited" color.
Also, the "hover over" color appears only after at least 1 of
the links has been clicked, not before, and no color changes occur
on the home page.
I know this is very elementary but we all have to start
somewhere!
My newbie site is at
http://pages.suddenlink.net/dancingleaf/
p.s. If you look at the site and you notice "Web Design", I
don't really do web designing (duh). I'm making all this up just to
learn!

The link to the stylesheet on the page is broken -
<link href="file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Pam/My
Documents/My
Webs/css/dancingleaf.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
/>
That usually happens when you link to a file that is OUTSIDE
the root folder
for the site. Is this one?
The reason you get the visited color is here -

</style>
<style type="text/css">

</style></head>
That's what you told it to do - in fact, the link color and
the visited
color are the same.

How to make 'Key-Enter' trigger (when clicked on enter key)work like 'F8' key?

Hi . I have another question to be asked.
Oracle Forms 6i.
I have a form in which DEFAULT&SMARTBAR is the menu and there are no push buttons.
In the form, there is a 'field' named as 'ID No'. After entering 'ID No' in the field and click on 'Execute Query' button from the 'DEFAULT&SMARTBAR' menu, all the details of that respective 'ID No' gets displayed in all the other fields. Even if i press 'F8' all the fields gets displayed with the values.
But i have a requirement, i.e. after entering 'ID No' and click 'Enter' key , i want all the values to be displayed.
So i created a 'Key-Enter' trigger with the following code:
BEGIN
EXECUTE_QUERY;
END;
But after entering 'ID No' and click 'Enter' key, the values are not getting displayed.
What can i do to make this happen?
Thank You.

It depends how your form is created. If your ID item is part of the base table block, you can do this.
On your ID item, create a KEY-NEXT-ITEM trigger:
if :system.mode = 'ENTER-QUERY' then
execute_query;
else
next_item;
end if;
Now
- User clicks on enter query (via smart bar icon or F7).
- User enters ID and clicks <enter> key to execute the query.

How to make the pointer work when clicking?

Hi,
I have purchased a new Macbook Pro and am at set up stage yet. I can't go further because the pointer is not working when I am clicking. I can't click on "Start using Mac OS X Lion." I have become so frustrated now! Please let me know if I can fix it or I have to return it to apple centre for fixing.
Cheers,
Mehrshaad

Press the 'tab' key on your keyboard a couple of times. You should see the blue highlight/focus move between options. When its on the option you want, hit the spacebar.
There may be something wrong with your trackpad. Try pressing down quite hard in the bottom left corner. It it takes an unreasonable amount of force, take it back to the shop to have it cleaned or replaced.
I had exactly this problem from new (in 2009) and never bothered to get it fixed because I mostly use 'tap to click'
 > System Preferences > Trackpad | One Finger - tap to click
but it is an PITA in installation and recovery mode where that gesture is off by default.

How to make mouse change position on click?

So, I'm trying to make a gun aim at the crosshair, so it follows the mouse all the time. I want it to go up on recoil, so the mouse crosshair goes up and the gun follows up.
I tried something like mouseY - 10; but with no luck, it didn't do anything. Thanks.

you can't control the users mouse. you can 'hide' the users mouse and use a crosshair movieclip to indicate where the mouse is positioned and that movieclip you can control.

How to make metadata changes stick when having made the mistake of updating while Match was running?

I've painfully come to realize that much my tedious process to add composer to 4,000+ tracks where this was missing, was done while Match was running.
I have a Time Machine backup of the library that contains the changes, but if I restore this, Match insists on downloading the old metadata (which means deleting the composer data). Is there any way to force Match to update the cloud data based on this backup of the library file?
I really don't want to have to locate and add this data again...!

Google web listings don't change color after clicking on them

I don't know if this is a Google or a Firefox problem. When I do a search on Google and then click on one of the sites they list, the listing used to change from blue to purple so when I went back to that page of listings, I'd know which I had already clicked on. Now they just all stay blue.
I don't know how long this has been going on. But I've been meaning to write you about it for a while. I don't know if it happened after an update. I haven't found a Firefox setting that turns that feature off and on.

Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but longer in Leopard.

If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

Error when Read only permission set when filtering data before loading with Excel 2013 Addin

Good afternoon :)
I have an MDS issue that is making me lose my mind.
I have some permission set to an Entity. It is a read only permission in the entity but I tried to put inside every field and same thing happen.
Every time an Entity has any kind of read only permission assigned to it or its fields, Excel Addin show an error when we try to load it. When Entity has more rows than the maximum rows in the Settings pane, it will show you an option to filter data. When
you try to use this filter, Excel show an error message but you can press OK and everything works fine.
There is the message:
The thing user, my user do not want it :( And I don't know how to get rid of it.
Do anyone have an ideia on how to fix it ?
In the debug set of the addin, there is this message:

Link in form of a pictrue - change color when sweeping

Doing links in form of a word which change color when sweeping over them is simple in iWeb.
I wonder how I do if I not just want the color of the text but also an image to change.
Ex. I have a link in form of a bright cloud. When one sweep the mouse over it I want the cloud transform into a darker form of the same cloud.
Perhaps I need a codescript which connect two pictures of the cloud?

PS file in illustrator changes color when I move it??

When I open a ps file in illustrator some objects change color when I move them and are displayed correctly in preview and Photoshop, why and how do I fix this?
Also the object seems to be duplicated. It should have the same and only the colors of the scale bar. In another file the image part is correct and the scale bar is incorrect.
Should look like this:

It is an odd problem. The "good" screen shot is from opening the PS file in mac's preview. As it is, I use several tools in illustrator to get the final image where I need it to be; several layers and what not. I have tired 5, 5.1, and 6 with the same problem. Again I have a different problem when I use a different figure:
As you can see just the opposite problem is the case. The map part is good while the color scale if off. Both parts are made in the same way and more or less in the same sequence, I don't think it is purely a problem at birth and other software can "see" it correctly, so I don't think it is a hardware problem.

How to make smart shape buttons turn colors after clicking on them?

How to make smart shape buttons turn colors after clicking on them? I am using buttons as links to learning paths and would like users to know which buttons they have allready clicked on when returning to main menu.

This is reply I got from Adobe support. I will try and let you all know what works best:
Here is the workflow which you can follow to achieve this functionality.
Puspendra: You can choose image button and then choose from the available image buttons, or click on the folder icon when you select the image button and choose from the Gallery of Captivate 6.
Puspendra: Few image buttons change color on hover or onclicked, these effects are predefined in them.
Puspendra: Or you can edit that button on which you are working, from properties Panel.
Puspendra: The Post and Cancel button on this thread seems like a transparent button in Captivate with different fill and stroke color, and transparency is also less, and with corner radius of 0.
Puspendra: You will find these all optionns, when you will click on that button and then click on the properties panel.

How do i get my events to change colors when i add new ones in my calendar

How do I get my events to change colors when I add a new event in my calendar?

When you add an event and you see the heading "Calendar", do you see a name to the right of it such as "Work"? If you tap on the heading "Calendar" does it show you a list of calendars?
I'm basing this on my experience using iCal on a Mac to sync with my iPad. I created a number of calendars on the Mac and assigned them different colors. Those appear on my iPad. I don't know how to create additional calendars on the iPad alone - I must create them in iCal or MobileMe then they show up on the iPad. Are you using a Mac or MobileMe?

How to make the changes to be permanent when a session is executed successfully ?

Hi Everyone,
I am new to ODI.
I am learning how to create interfaces for the data flow between two Oracle databases !
Now I started by developing a simple interface of loading data from EMPLOYEES table of HR schema to another table created by me EMPLOYEES_TGT in the same schema.
When I dragged and dropped the source and target tables in the mapping tab it showed do you want to map automatically. I selected Yes and then When i executed the project I got errors and I have manually changed the code in the session. One session is executed correctly after changing the code in the sessions, when I start the same project once again it is throwing the same errors. How can I make the changes of the code that I changed in the previous session permanent to that interface ?
Could anyone please guide me how to overcome this problem ? How can i make the changes permanent when one session has completed execution ?
Thanks& Regards,
Anvesh

In the same way for other steps in the same session I got some errors and I fixed them by changing the code. But the problem is that where can I change this so that it will be a permanent solution.

Using the retouch tool, how do you make it change color? The old iPhoto one did, this one seems to be flesh-tone only, which is not how I need it to be. In old iPhoto, used the local color to blend, it was great.

I don't know which old version you're referring to but iPhoto 6's, 7's and 8's retouch tool works exactly the same as iPhoto 9's. The color of the enhance tool's area while applying is a light brown color but the retouch works on any color using the surrounding colors as a basis.
