Illegible Panels

Hi,
My set up for the PC must be wrong - maybe display or
someting. I've tried screen size etc. but the probelm I'm having is
once in Fireworks or Dreamweaver, you can't actually read the
text/font on each panel- for example "Optimise" or "Stroke" panels-
you can 't see/read the text on them ?
Is this the PC settings, or something I need to adjust within
Fireworks etc. ?
Thanks

You need to be using the default display settings for your OS
instead of
a theme or skin of some kind.

  • Officejet 6500 Display Panel is blurry and illegible - Mac Os6

    I just moved and now set up the printer to run wirelessly through my Mac desktop.  Previously, it was running off of my wife's MacBook.  But i think this problem predates the move.  All I see on the panel display on the printer are some random images.

    Davsong, welcome to the forum. Have you tried unplugging the printer? I hate to say it but it sounds like the LCD display may have been damaged in the move. I would go ahead and call: 800-474-6836 at your earliest convience.
    Sorry!

  • Panel Font Error

    I have installed a trial version of Freehand on my pc and the
    text on the tabs in the panels (object panel and tints and mixer)
    are illegible whereas all the other panel and tab fonts are fine -
    How do I fix this or is it a trial software issue?

    As far as I know there is no separate trial version.
    In Windows some menu and palette text will be distorted if
    system fonts are removed or DPI setting is fiddled with. The latter
    can be restored at Display Properties > Settings > Advanced

  • Problem printing front panels from LabVIEW 5.1 using a different O.S.

    I have an excecutable that was developed using LabVIEW 5.1 on a Windows NT OS platform. I am attempting to run this executable on a PC using Windows XP. Everything appears to be running just fine until I attempt to run a portion of the program that executes a "print front panel upon execution" function that prints out a table, created from a sub vi running in the code. The print command executes, however, the font sizes that are generated on the hardcopy are not what I had originally intended them to be. Also, sometimes the page breaks are in the wrong place, thus making my printouts quite illegible. I ran the same executable on a workstation running Win2000, using the exact same printer, and everythin
    g printed out just fine. Is NI aware of this issue, and are there any possible solutions for it?

    The versions of labView that NI supports win XP are versions 6.1, 7.0. and 7.1
    You could be seeing an incompatability between version 5.1 and XP
    LabView 5.1.1 officially supports windows 95/98/NT/2000

  • Lcd control panel is burned out on HP 8600

    The control panel LCD appears to be ALMOST burned out to the point I can see only a very faded illegible signals.  It is a HP8600 Officejet Pro

    Hi aulddog
    I understand the display is only showing faded illegible signals.
    I will be happy to assist you with this.
    Make sure there is no damage on the power cord and that it is connected directly to a wall outlet. Make sure the printer isn't exposed to an electric or magnetic field. Try another outlet in a different room.
    I have provided a document for the display being blank.
    If all the troubleshooting has been done and it didn't resolve the issue then I would
    recommend to call HP Tech Support to inquire about  a replacement printer if it is still
    in warranty or find out about the trade in and trade up program.

  • Links not getting displayed in the contextual panel

    Hi,
    I have created a contextual panel inside a transparent container. And created a method in the same view supply_values of type supply function to supply the values to the panel.Inside the method I have coded like:
    DATA TAB  TYPE WD_THIS->ELEMENTS_N_VIEW_SWITCH.
      DATA LINE TYPE WD_THIS->ELEMENT_N_VIEW_SWITCH.
      LINE-TEXT    = 'User Manual'. "#EC NOTEXT
      LINE-ENABLED = ABAP_TRUE.
      APPEND LINE TO TAB.
      LINE-TEXT    = 'Logout'. "#EC NOTEXT
      LINE-ENABLED = ABAP_TRUE.
      APPEND LINE TO TAB.
      NODE->BIND_TABLE( TAB ).
    Also in the context of the view I have created a node and supplied the method  'supply_values' in the supply function.Under the node I have 2 attributes named text and enabled. Text is of string type and enabled is of boolean type. In the properties of the contextual panel I have bound the visible property with the enabled attribute.
    Now when I am running this application , links are not getting displayed in the contextual panel. Though when I debug TAB contains the values.  Please suggest if I have missed out something or I need to look into the properties of the contextual panel. Any pointers will be really helpful.
    Regards,
    Ashutosh

    Hi,
    Can you elaborate ' ItemEnable property of ViewSwitch'.
    I have already bound the enable property of the panel with a context attribute of type wdy_boolean  but it is still not working.

  • Problem with Paining in a Panel in a JFrame.

    So I can paint directly on a JFrame, and I can paint on a class that extends Panel, and put the Panel on a JFrame. But if I try to Repaint the Panel it won't show on the JFrame. Do I have to do anything to the JFrame to show the changes to the objects inside as well?

    I'm not sure if you've done this, but don't change the paint method when using Swing components, use paintComponent instead. By default, the JFrame will paint its children. Just remember whenever overriding any of the paintComponent methods to call super.paintComponent(g) first.

    Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels.  Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer.  I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation.  I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC.  I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots.  Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
    The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes.  Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond.   In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces  (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
    To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images.  After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size  images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
    I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data.  (I have a screen shot to show this.)  CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
    Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong.  I could also send screen shots of this data.
    At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR.  This is not normal.  I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution.  If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

  • Open and close a vi front panel dynamicall​y

    I created a main vi panel that display all the signal names.  I like the main vi to open a new plot screen when I double click on the signal name.  I was able to do that using invoke node. But I when I close the plot screen by clicking on the Window "Close" button, the main vi was not able to open a new one again.  So I disabled the Window "Close" button and only use the "Stop" button coded in while loop in the blockdigram of the plot screen.  It worked, but the plot screen is still open and changed to editing mode.  Is there an easy way to close the plot screen by only one click.  Another question is that how does the main vi can open multiple plot screens.  Thanks for your advice.

    I think I know what happens:
    If you close the front panel of a sub-vi, the code is still running, so the VI doesn't terminate and somehow you can't address it (it don't know how you communicate with your sub-vi).
    So in your sub-vi you should monitor the panel-close event, and finish the code of the VI and finish the VI

  • Open and Close Front Panel of SubVI

    Hi all,
    Running LabVIEW 2011 on Windows 7 x64.  I am trying to get a subVI front panel to open from my main FP with the press of a button and then close with a button press in the subVI.  Here is the piece from my main FP that calls the VI and opens the FP 
    Plots is defined in another loop and all of the loops are in a flat sequence.  I did it this way because I want it to start with the first press and not stop my main loop from running.  I have moved the item in the left loop around a lot so I'm not sure if I can run that in the same loop as the event or not.  Either way opening the VI seems to work fine.
    The problem shows up when trying to close the subVI for the SECOND time.  The code is here:
    As I said, the first time I open and close the VI everything works as I expect it should.  I am then able to open it again but now the "blank button" doesn't function and I can't close the window or even open the block diagram to probe anything.  I have been trying to figure this out for awhile, any insite would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

  • Image in Links panel displays as overset but may not exist

    I am having a serious problem with an InDesign file and of course the blueline corrections were due half an hour ago. An image is appearing in my links panel as hidden in overset text. There is no overset text showing in my preflight profile. I can't go to the image since it gives me an error message indicating that it is hidden in overset text. This appeared for the first time in the file a couple of hours ago during which time, I have not placed any images.
    Exporting to idml, deleting prefs and other types of options has not helped including going to the structured panel and trying to find the file or preceived file by ID in the Story editor. Is there any other way to remove this image from the Links panel? I believe this is what is also causing my system to slow to a crawl. This is a college schedule which has been linked to InCopy files. I have deleted the links to InCopy in case that was part of the problem but nothing seems to make a difference.
    This is a Mac using InDesign CS5.5.

    It looks like I have to recreate the file, another 6 hours of work after spending all day trying to resolve the issue. I wish it was as simple as just as reflowing it but there are too many column adjustments I had to make, which I try to stay away from, but could not avoid in this file. What is strange is that even after deleting all of the text in this file, all of the images are now listed as OV in the links panel instead of going away. This has happened in the past with InCopy stories but we have been able to delete the links from the panel. Unfortunately, I can't find a way to delete these image links from the Links panel despite the fact that they no longer exist. I will start with a new file and at least flow in the tagged text format but I am now on edge that this could happen again since I do not know the cause.

  • Excel-2007 cannot connect to Oracle ODBC data source, Control Panel can.

    <p>
    I cannot make an ODBC connection from Exce-2007 to Oracle work. I am an expert Excel and VBA user (since 1994) and I have frequently used Excel to access ODBC databases, including Oracle (I have done this with Excel-2003 both with worksheet queries and have written VBA ADO-connection routines). And even though in Excel-2007 a worksheet ODBC query is supposed to be easier to create than in previous version of Excel, my connection fails. Any suggestions and all help are welcome and much appreciated.
    DETAILS
    </p>
    <p>
    1) <strong>What is my system?</strong> I am using Excel-2007 on Windows Vista x64 and Oracle server v.11g on my computer (all this is on my computer, no network issues).
    2)<strong> Why use Excel with Oracle at all?</strong> I use Excel-2007 to access Oracle rather than Access-2007 (or any other application like TOAD, etc.) because I do engineering calculations with the data stored in Oracle. These calculations are easier done in Excel (I suppose that one alternative to this could be to use some sql or Access to get the data from the database, then store it as plain vanilla CSV file, then open this file in Excel, then do the math (the math involves complex optimisation algorithms), then save the results as CSV, then use some sql or Access to put the data back into the database. Howwever this does not strike me as a quick or neat solution. And after all Excel has been designed to access ODBC databases, so why not use it?)
    3) <strong>What do I do in Excel-2007 that won't work?</strong> I create an ODBC link to Oracle that does not work. In Excel-2007 this is straightforward:
    </p>
    <ul>
         <li>define an ODBC connection (Data tab --&gt; From other sources --&gt; From data connection wizard);</li>
         <li>define a query on the worksheet -- that's it, this is all!</li>
    </ul>
    <p>
    I start with creating an ODBC connection:
    a) I choose an ODBC data source type: <strong><em>ODBC DSN</em></strong>
    b) Excel-2007 displays the list of the available ODBC data sources. I see in it <strong><em>my Oracle database name</em></strong> and I select it.
    c) Excel-2007 displays the Data Link Properties:
    - the "Provider" has a list of the OLE DB drivers with preselected "<strong><em>Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers</em></strong>". I keep this default selection.
    - the "Connection" tab has a connection string "<strong><em>DSN=&lt;my database name&gt;</em></strong>" which I keep, it also has fields for the <strong><em>user name</em></strong> and the <strong><em>password</em></strong>, which I fill with the correct credentials.
    - Finally there is a button "Test Connection", which when I click produces the following error message:
    <strong><font color="#ff0000">"Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider.</font></strong><strong><br />
    </strong><strong><font color="#ff0000">Unespecified error"</font></strong><strong>
    </strong>
    4) <strong>Additional food for thought:</strong>
    a) In the above walk-through the only data, which I type, are the user name and password, everything else is selected from lists offered by Excel-2007, hence any possibility of typos being the cause of the problem can safely be discarded.
    b) I can test the ODBC driver in the Control Panel and it shows that it can connect to the Oracle database:
    - in <strong><em>Control Panel --&gt; Admin Tools --&gt; Data Sources (ODBC)</em></strong> on the "User DSN" tab I can see the list of the available ODBC data sources (same list as in Excel-2007, point 3b above) with the name of my database in it;
    - selecting the name of my database from the list of the sources and clicking "Configure" button opens a tab with <strong><em>Data Source Name</em></strong> (same as in Excel-2007), TNS Service Name and User ID. I enter <strong><em>&lt;user name&gt;/&lt;password&gt;</em></strong> and click "Test Connection" button. A message "<strong><em>Connection successful</em></strong>" appears (just for a test I enter <u>incorrect user credentials</u> and "<strong><em>Unable to connect</em></strong>" message appears)
    BOTTOM LINE
    </p>
    <p>
    The procedure for using an ODBC connection from Excel is very simple, in the past I have created and used such connections numerous times with Excel-2003 and earlier on Win-XP and earlier. But now on Excel-2007 and Vista-x64 I cannot make it work.
    Also, testing an ODBC connection driver is really easy and simple to be done in the Control Panel. There testing the same ODBC connection, which fails in Excel-2007, results in success.
    I am frustrated by the simplicity of the problem and yet the persistant error. I have lost now two full days in failed attempts to make the simple procedure work and in searching the internet for answers.
    All help is highly appreciated <img class="emoticon" src="images/emoticons/happy.gif" border="0" alt="" width="16" height="16" />,
    Plamen
    </p>

    Did you find the solution to your problem?
    If not, I think I may know.
    Excel 2007 is a 32-bit application.
    When installing 32-bit applications in a 64-bit environment, the "default" location is:
    C:\Program files (x86)\...
    Excel then launches from this location.
    However, when it connects to Oracle and passes the name of the calling program, Oracle attempts to "interpret" the value of (x86) as if
    the value within the parenthesis are being passed as a reference. Of course, iOracle doesn't find anything, so the result is (),
    and then it cannot return the connection info back to the calling application.
    I corrected it by installing Excel in C:\Program Files\, and once launched from that location, it works the same as on the 32-bit machines.
    However, at my location, they are FORCING Excel to be installed in the(x86) location.
    What I'm trying to discover now is:
    Is it possible to flag Oracle to NOT process the embedded variables?
    Or, is it possible to assign a variable in Oracle such that x86 = "(x86)", so that the end result is viable?
    Have you had any luck with your installation?
    thanks,
    Paul

  • Collapsible Panels - Links to open one, and close others

    Hi,
    I am new to Dreamweaver and have been creating my site by
    learning as I go along. I have already read through all the other
    related topics associated with Collapsible Panels on this blog and
    have still not found an answer. I have been able to open and close
    Collapsible Panels by using links - but unfortunately, I need more
    than just opening and closing.
    On my site i have approximately 5 pages, all with the same
    header and Menu bar. The Information (that i have presented in
    numerous Collapsible Panels) does however vary from page to page.
    What I need to try and figure out is:
    How can I open one collapsible panel and close all others? I
    have seen the one example which leads to my next question:
    How can I group Panels? Some examples of how to open one and
    close all others use this grouping. Is there any other way of
    opening one and closing all others without grouping?
    Lastly, is it possible to set up a link that can be viewed on
    one page which when clicked opens the relevant page and collapsible
    panel? i.e. on my About Us page there is a link (using the Menu
    bar) for one of my several services on the services drop down menu
    (but services is on a different page with the same setup). When a
    viewer clicks on the specific service, is it possible to get the
    site to open the services page, and open the relevant collapsible
    panel (with all other Panels closed)?
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated - I have been
    searching for days now and cannot seem to find any
    answers/directions in laymans terms.
    Kind regards,
    John

    This page has an example that has a link that can open and
    close a panel:
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/collapsiblepanel/collapsible_panel_sample. htm
    One way to do this would be to have a single link that would
    open one of your panels using the code, but then add to it code
    that closes each of the other panels, for example:
    <a href="#"
    onclick="CollapsiblePanel4.open();CollapsiblePanel5.close();CollapsiblePanel6.close();">O pen
    4, close 5 and 6</a>
    To make this work, you'll need to look that the panel
    constructors at the bottom of your page and make sure to match up
    the panel variable names i.e. "var CollapsiblePanel1 =...." the
    variable is CollapsiblePanel1.
    You could also write a function that gathers together the
    various panels you have on the page and then pass to it only the
    panel that you want kept open. For now, though, it might be best to
    use the above method, given your expertise. And taking that even
    further, you could apply the function call unobtrusively. Both the
    function call and the unobtrusive part you can work on later to get
    this working for now.

    This is a little confusing, on one hand you ask about how to
    group, but then ask how not to group. There is a concept of a
    collapsible panel group:

    But there is another type of group, that may be more what
    you're looking for, and that's an Accordion panel, which is similar
    to the collapsible panel group, with the exception that it can only
    have one panel open at a time.

    Probably the easiest way to do this particular one would be
    to make sure that you have all of the panels set to be closed when
    the page loads, and then take a look at the code for the last
    example on this page:
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/utils/URLUtilsSample.html
    That example uses a tabbed panel, but the concept is the
    same, use a URL parameter to determine what to show. You'll need to
    link in the SpryURLUtils file in the Spry download package (look in
    the includes folder):
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/home.html
    Essentially, your link will look similar to:
    sample.html?panel=1
    Then your code could look something like:
    var params = Spry.Utils.getLocationParamsAsObject();
    var CollapsiblePanel1 = new
    Spry.Widget.CollapsiblePanel("CollapsiblePanel1",
    {contentIsOpen:(params.panel==1 )} );
    var CollapsiblePanel2 = new
    Spry.Widget.CollapsiblePanel("CollapsiblePanel2",
    {contentIsOpen:(params.panel==2 )} );
    Basically what this is doing is creating an object from the
    URL parameters. Then for each of the panels the constructor has
    code that determines whether or not to expand the panel when the
    page loads. So it checks the value of params.panel to see if it
    matches 1 (for the first one), if it does, then that means that
    contentIsOpen is set to true, if it is some other number or is not
    present at all, then that means that the panel is closed. This
    would then be repeated down the line for how ever many panels you
    want to operate like that.
