ICal Show/expand more on mouse over?

I'm thinking of switching from google calendar to iCal, but what is really bugging me is how when in monthly view there is not easy way to see the events which have been hidden because there is not enough space. E.g. below are images from iCal (Fig 1.) and google calendar (Fig 2.1 and Fig 2.2), iCal shows there are 3 events that are hidden ("3 more...") and to look at these 3 events i need to double click on the date switching the view to the day view for that date. For google similarly there is a "+5 more" sign, but clicking on this expands it so you can quickly and easily see what is happening in the day.
Is there an option or add-on that I am not aware of which provides the google calendar functionality for iCal?

Norbert:
I took JR's excellent example and expanded on it to do ID by mouseover.
I key it off EVENT_MOUSE_POINTER_MOVE.
I get a graph coordinate from the mouse coordinates using GetGraphCoordsFromPoint().
I use SetGraphCursor() to put a cursor at the mouse pointer, but then I turn right around and use GetGraphCursor() to move the cursor to the closest point on any plot (without me having to talk to Mr. Pythagoras!).
For development and demo purposes, I added options to Plot new data (randomized or not), and ID by click or ID by mouseover.
Play with the attached example and see if that's an approach that works for you.
Thanks for the great start JR!

ITunes' Taskbar-playing mode doesn't show track details on mouse-over, how to fix this?

In earlier versions of iTunes the taskbar playing-mode showed details of the current track (title, artist, album illustration) on mouse-over.
The new version (10.6.1.7) lacks this function.
Is this a change Apple made and will it come back? Or is it just a setting in the Preferences which I can't find?
Thanks in advance!

Its a bug there is nothing that you can do about that
you have just to wait until they fix it

Link not showing hand icon when mouse over

I am creating an image gallery and have thumbnails that open
in a separate window to a larger version of the image.
The links are working, but when you put the mouse over the
image the little hand does not appear to show it is a link, if you
click it works and the image opens, but the hand does not show,
what have I done wrong.

This implies that you have applied the behavior directly to
the <img> tag,
when you should have applied it to an anchor tag surrounding
the <img> tag,
e.g.,
this - <a href="javascript:;"
onclick="whatever"><img src="whatever"...></a>
rather than this - <img onclick="whatever"
src="whatever"...>
You can get this by manually creating it, or by selecting the
image,
removing the behavior, then entering "javascript:;" (without
the quotes) in
the Link field of the Property inspector. This will wrap the
<img> tag with
the anchor. Now select the <a> on the Tag selector, and
apply your
behavior.
As you can see, familiarity with HTML (and CSS) will come in
quite handy

Customize Mouse over values when hovering on a chart data point

Hi
Can someone please help me here? I have a dashboard which displays 4 series in a combinational chart. Along with the numeric values, I have another column which displays the commentary / justification of a data point on a particular date.
I want to show this as a mouse over value to change when user hovers over different dates.
Is it possible?

Pop up of some comment on mouse over to a particular component

I have a column chart which display revenue for different products. I want to dispaly som comment on mouse over to a particular product. I have tried implementing it using a labels and dynamic visibility, but here in this solution I am facing problems due to default value. By default a label (comment) for a first product is displayed. I want a comment to be displayed only on mouse over.
How Should this be implemented. Is there any other way to show pop ups on mouse over.
Thanks

Mouse-Over customization on Who is Who iview

Hi
I need to change the Who is Who iView to show some text on mouse-over of any of the fields - does anyone know how I would go about doing this? I am working on EP 6.0.

Mouse over and Mouse Click function

Hi,
I have to add a mouse over event and mouse click event in my rectangles that I draw while taking the values from an input file. Now since I am taking rectangle height and width from the input text file as well I also want to take a text value to be shown while moving a mouse over a particular rectangle from my input file. Also when he clicks on that rectangle the height and width of that particular rectangle only should be displayed (re-adjusted).
Like suppose my input file has 3 fields:-
Height   Width Test_To_Show
10          23         Hello
20          44         ByeNow When my paint component draws these 2 rectangles and a user moves his mouse over the rectangle he should see text message attached to it:- Like for first row 10, 23 he should see "Hello". In this case when he clicks on this rectangle the picture should read just to show only 10 and 20 as height and width. Now the problem is I am confused where to add the mouse and mouse click event function.
Some of my code looks like this in paintcomponent method:-
        for(int i=0; i<myobject.size(); i++){
            Coloring fc = myobject.get(i);
            GradientPaint gpi = new GradientPaint(0, 0,c.getColor() , 0, 20, Color.white, true);
            g2d.setPaint(gpi);
            g2d.drawRect(fc.value1, 29, fc.mywidth, 83);
            g2d.fillRect(fc.value1, 29, fc.mywidth, 83);
                                            }Where should I attach the mouse event to g2d object / fc / myobject ? I am not sure since I am using mouseover function for the first time.
Thanks

I am planning to add these 2 in my paint component method
            fc.addMouseMotionListener(this);
            fc.addMouseListener(this);and then create 2 functions like this :-
      public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
              //I will be reading from a file and then pass the string that I want to show as text while mouse over
               String s = // takes value from the inpuf file.
                  fc.setText(s);
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
             //same way reading from the file ... Not sure how I will do this one
             }Would it be the correct way to do it ? I am doing mouse over functions for the first time so donno much about there usage.
Thanks

One more nugget: Chart zoom with the "Mouse Over" effect

Hello all.
Just read my signature first, it might explain a lot. I do not intend to compete with Darren and I don't think this "nugget" (at least it supposed to be one) will amaze any of the LV veterans and this forum is rich of them. But maybe it will bring some new ideas to some of you or maybe it will be useful for some LV beginners (like me). It is very likely, my code will have some lapses, but please be gentle pointing that out to me. If you feel a need, you can always optimize the code and develope it further. Just don't forget to share!
So back to the point.
I am developing a project using LV. In my program there is a waveform chart which has to show 4 plots. Depending on the length of the X Scale, it sometimes gets hard to see the plots clearly because of their density.So I decided that I need a tool, which would zoom the chart in. And this is what I have came up with after a few "Google" searches to check which part of the bike is already invented and also a bit of programming by myself.
Maybe you guys (at least the veterans) know the BetterVIEW Consulting LV example where they have implemented the Mouse Over effect. So a part of their example has been used in this tool and part of the credit must go to them. I thank them a lot
This tool uses a cluster and its property of visibility to show/hide the cluster depending on if the current position of the mouse cursor is in the desired range or not. The program also gets the image of the chart and returns the subset of the image. The subset is taken for the area arounf the mouse cursor. So if you move the mouse, the zoomed in area will also chage in response. After that, the subset of the image is zoomed in for better view.
The user might chage the zoom factor during the execution. Also it is possible to turn the zoom option On or Off if you don't wish to see it for the moment.
This is how the front panel looks like:
And this is the image of the block diagram (see the attached files for the vi, the VI Snippet tool distorts the code too much, so I haven't added it):
I haven't found anything the same in the forum. Yet I'm a newbie here and I don't have that much experience surfing it. If it wouldn't be something new (in the forum, not necessarily to some of you personally), just ignore the thread. I hope this was worth your time and your attention.
Good coding
Message Edited by Giedrius.S on 02-11-2010 12:46 PM
While evaluating my code please have in mind that I am a LV novice. Therefore sometimes my code might violate some coding rules that I have to learn about myself. But how else could I do that...

Very nice Giedrius.
It takes guts to "step up to the chalk board" so I will do what i can to give you some ideas to think about. This is similar to the type of feedback I offer durring our in-house code reviews.
1) The floating property nodes outside the loop are not sequenced by wires so they could execute after the loop starts. Sometimes this could cause weird errors. Seq with the error cluster.
2) Property nodes can be re-sized so you can apply more than one property setting in the same call. Property node have to execute in the UI thread (which is single threaded) so using a single nodes will force a single context switch rather than one for each.
3) Setting the same property repeatedly in a loop just burns CPU. THe Scale min for both X an Y can be moved outside the loop ?
4) THe Wait Until Next ms" function does not get used in any of my code. It is not a way to get a fixed wait but rather a random wait. If you code completes 1 ms after the next multiple, the delay is double less 1 ms. If you have multiple loops using them and it f the delay for each are not unique prime numbers, then the "Wait until next ms multiple" is a good (cough cough) way of getting them all to wake up at the same time and fight for the CPU.
5)An Event Struture to monitor mouse enter/leave and mouse move (this would have to be a sepearte loop) is easier on the CPU than polling.
6) Is that math in the case to handle the Chart position on the FP? If so then using the property nodes for the chart to find its postion will let you code adapt to GUI changes.
7) Right to left wires are not well recieved.
8) A Bundle by Name is prefered over a "Bundle" since it is self documenting. I know the Picture function so I can see that is the rectangle you are specifying but reader not famliar with that function would not be able to "READ" the code without poking at it.
9) THe event structure would also help with setting the Zoom factor. Only poke it when you have to.
That is all that comes to mind at the moment.
Again thank you!

Meta text not showing on mouse over

Certain sites (such as [http://xkcd.com/789/]) use meta text to add more information, etc. when you run the mouse over the picture. This feature isn't working for me.

Do those image have a title attribute?
Firefox only displays a tooltip with the ''title'' attribute and not with the ''alt'' attribute that is meant to show descriptive text in case the image can't be displayed.

I need help identifying and removing annoying gadget that shows all open windows and applications when I mouse over a corner.

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Some time ago I installed a gadget (doesn't seem to be an item in my Applications folder) which, when I mouse-over the lower-left corner of my screen, brings up a screen showing reduced-size versions of all open application windows and Finder windows. I've tried to identify what it is, and where it is located, so I can remove it, but to no avail.
I'd really appreciate any help getting rid of this thing. Thanks!

Mouse over Tabs - shows document name?

I notice when I go to close tabs in CS5, the full name of the document appears in a white box over and to the left of the tab, when my mouse goes over the tab, then I can't close the tab until the document name disappears- which takes about 5 seconds, allthough seems like forever. Does anyone know how to turn that feature off, or reduce the time it displays the name?

Yes, when mouse over the document tab, full name of document will appear. You can just click once on the white box it will disappear.
On Preferences>General dialog, you can check off Show Tool Tips to not show the white box when mouse over document tab, but it will also stop all tips when mouse over a tool, an icon on a panel/dialog.

Show some text when mouse hover over a component

Hi,
I would like to show a couple of lines of text, just to the right hand-side of the component (kind of a mini-pop up menu) everytime the mouse hovers on that component. The focuslistener is in place and working, but I don't know how to implement this 'popup' menu. I don't need to select any of the lines or perform any action on them, just showing them
thanks

thanks, that's the component I was looking for (assuming I can now change the fonts, colour etc)
I have done the following and it kind of works: it should highlight the text and show the tooltip. However, it kind of gets stuck every now and then...two things: it takes some time before the tooltip appears (1 sec): is there a way to make it immediate, simultanous to the highligh? also, I have a few Jtextfield, as you may remember..as I hover the mouse over each of them, it all works fine, but when I go back to a jtextfield previously hovered over and highlighted, nothing happens, until I randomly click around and then works again. Any ideas? thanks a lot
myJTextField.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
                 public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
                    ((JTextField) e.getSource ()).requestFocus();
                    ((JTextField) e.getSource ()).selectAll(); // highlight the text
                    ((JTextField) e.getSource ()).setToolTipText("text");

Spotlight does not show the path or location of a file anymore when hovering with the mouse over the file

in Leopard Spotlight used to show you the path /location of a file when you stayed with the mouse over the result. As sometimes I just look for the location of a file not to open it like a mp3 file. It would be nice to have a opiton in spotlight to contorl or right click a file and then give the option to say show in finder. that only works when you have your results show up in finder first and takes a bit longer. or maybe in the new prieview window to show the loaation or give you opitons what to do with the file
Just an idea to spotlight even better

When you hover over a file in spotlight list (or select with up/down arrow) you can also hit command-R to open the folder where the file is located. Kind of like 'Show Original' for aliases.
But yeah, Apple really needs to just show the directory path on the hover pop-up by default. Obviously, when you do a search you'll most likely get several files with the same name - we need to see the locations to tell them apart. One of the main reasons to do a file search is to simply find out 'where the file is located' - not necessarily open the file. Seems pretty shortsighted to not show the file location in the search result.
