In Object Properties dialog box, modify "tab path"...

For FrameMaker versions up to and including 8 (and I suspect 9).
Select a graphic, then click in sequence
ESC g o to open the
Object Properties dialog box. By default the dialog box opens with the insertion point in the
Width text entry area.
Now press TAB four times: The insertion point moves sequentially to the
Height,
Top,
Left, and then
Color text entry areas.
I wish the last movement, to the
Color text entry area, was replaced with movement to the
Percent text entry area. This would enable me to use the keyboard to efficiently configure the size, position, and scaling of a graphic.
As it is, I virtually never need to select the graphic's
Color text entry area and the movement of the insertion point to that essentially useless tool drives me crazy: It makes me TAB all the way 'round the dialog box or grab the pointing device to get it to the
Percent text entry area...
Cheers,
Riley

Odd... What does your properties dialog look like? Can you post a screenshot of the dialog box? Also, what version of LabVIEW are you running?

  • Import/Export Properties Dialog Box

    I am trying to launch the import/export properties dialog box but the only item under the Tools menu is Customize. How can I get to the import/export properties dialog?
    I am using TestStand 4.2 and have tried reinstalling.

    Hi,
    I don't know why you don't see it already but I have a suggestion...
    I'm using 4.1 but maybe you can create a new menu item using settings similiar to mine.
    Item Text Expression: ResStr("DATABASE_TOOL_MENU", "IMPORT_EXPORT_DESCRIPTION")
    Enable Expression: PropertyExists("RunState.InitialSelection.SelectedFile") && GetNumElements( RunState.InitialSelection.SelectedSequences ) > 0 &&  CurrentUserHasPrivilege("Develop.EditSequenceFile
    Sequence File: GenericImportExport.seq
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 4.1.1\Components\Tools\GenericImportExport.seq
    (replace your own version of TestStand)
    Sequence: ImportExport
    Hope this helps.

  • How do you get the text box text properties dialog box to appear on a MAC?

    how do you get the text box text properties dialog box to appear in Adobe Reader XI on a MAC? I know windows is Ctrl-E but can't figure out what to hit for Mac.

    Right-click the toolbar and you should find it there (including the short-cut, which is probably Cmd+E).

  • How can I open the "Pane Properties Dialog Box", without right-clicking on the scrollbar of the pane?

    To open the "Pane Properties Dialog Box" the LabVIEW Help suggest following:
    "Right-click in the scrollbar of a pane and select Properties from the shortcut menu to display this dialog box."
    The Problem is that I would like to switch off the scrollbars, which once done, means I can't right-click on the scrollbar anymore !
    There must be a different way to get to this Menu, too ?!

    Typically, you would hide the scrollbars only when running, and in this case there is no problem. I guess you should keep at least one of the scrollbars visible in edit mode.
    Once both scrollbars are hidden, you can restore them using the "VI properties...windows appearance...customize" dialog.

  • In the expression editor dialog box my TAB key doesn't function correctly

    This is bizarre behavior that seems to have started recently.
    In Visual Studio 2012, an SSRS project, any expression editor dialog:
    The tab key doesn't work right.
    Open the expression editor and:
    * I see a blinking cursor and I can type in the expression box.
    * If I hit the tab key, the cursor disappears and I cannot type.  I appear to lose focus in the editor but focus doesn't appear to go anywhere else in the dialog box.
    * If I hit the tab key a 2nd time, the cursor is still gone and I cannot type. 
    * If I hit the tab key a 3rd time, I can finally type again and note that I am now
    3 tabstops in.  In other words it seems like the tabs were working but I lost the ability to type anything until I "tab" 3 magical times. 
    I can work around this by hitting tab key then grabbing the mouse and clicking where the cursor SHOULD be which returns focus to the text area.
    Hopefully this image helps clarify:
    Anybody know what is wrong?

    Hi Bostaevski,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    According to your description, as you said that the cursor disappears and cannot type issue. It seems that the issue may be not Visual Studio the VS IDE issue.
    In addition, I find a similar thread about the
    Expression Editor Cursor Issue,
    please see:  
    http://www.beta.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedbackdetail/view/780682/vs-2012-rdlc-expression-editor-cursor-issue#.
    Therefore, I suggest you could also try to press alt with left and right arrow keys and check if it is works fine.
    Thnank for your understanding!

  • Should the web page address be included in the file name in the meta data dialog box?

    In the page properties > meta data > below is a field with the label file name: (the the area to type in the field), after the field, it is labeled .html.
    I have 2 questions here.
    1. If I type in http//:www (my page url), do I include .html at the end? I didn't know if this is automatically added because it is off to the side of the field?
    2. If I type in the entire URL address: http//:www (etc, etc).html,    after closing the page properties dialog box, I make it a habit to double check my work. What happens is the http//:www.xxx changes to (htttpwww.xxx). It drops the //: on the URL.
    So would it be better to just type in www.xxx (without the http//:www.xxx)
    and do you type in the .html at the end?
    I am assuming this will help with SEO page ranking or at least makes it easier for the search engines to crawl your site??
    I hope this makes sense.
    Advise would be very helpful.
    Ben

    You are absolutely correct with the URL Ben. Taking your above example, you just need to type in "Services" in the file name and the webpage will be exported as services.html and the URl will be  www.xyz.com/services.html.
    All the webpages (be it parent page or child page) gets physically saved at the root directory of your website on the server (where your website resides).
    This name is just the name of the file using which it is physically stored and called from the server. It does not help search Engines to crawl deeper inside the website.
    As I explained, "name which you wants the .html file to be stored with" here means the name of the physical file which is getting saved on the server.
    Most users leave the file name same as Page name. If you have it different from page name then this will be the workflow :
    Page Name : About
    File Name : test
    domain : www.mysite.com
    Now if you are  using a Menu Widget, it will list "About" in the Menu. And when end user will click on "About" then it will call the file named "test.html" from the server location (where all the files of your website are stored).
    And it will open a page with address "www.mysite.com/test.html"
    Hope I am able to explain the concept of File Name here. Please let us know if you have further queries on this.
    Regards,
    Sachin

  • Can't open/access Shared Variable Properties Dalog Box

    I've just upgraded to LV 8.6 from 8.5.  Now I can't open up the Shared Variable Properties Dialog Box.  In the Project Explorer, I expand the shared variable library, select the shared variable, right-click on it to get the pop-up menu, select Properties, nothing happens.  The same is true when I right-click on the shared variable library or My Computer and select New>>Variable.
    On another computer that I upgraded to LV 8.6, I can do the same things and get the dialog box, albeit it looks different in 8.6 than it did in 8.5. 
    There were no errors reported in upgrading these computers.  Any ideas as to what is wrong?

    I've tried re-installing LV 8.6 from the DVDs sent to me.  I get the following errors:
    Error 1335. the cabinet file 'mib.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error , an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package. -  I responded with 'ignore'
    The NI Assistant Framework LabVIEW Code Generator 8.5 installaion has failed with the following error.
    Internal Error 2350.
    Continue? - I responded with 'yes'
    LabView installs but I still can't get access to the dialog box.

  • VI Properties dialog is slow

    Has anyone experienced this with LV 8.5?  I have a large project open, and when I try to pull up the "VI Properties" dialog box it takes between 10 to 15 seconds to open.  It is a large DSC-based project (whether that has any relevance).
    Thanks,
    David Moerman

    Hi Yi
    I am currently using LV7.1.1f2 on three different machines, each with Daq 4.3 or 4.4. (The reason I am not using 8.5 is I am awaiting a graph bug fix). Each has WXP SP2 with latest updates. This slow opening of VI Properties dialog box has bedeviled me for years. Until today, I have just lived with it, getting frustrated each time. I have found that it appears randomly on different machines (I have used perhaps 15-20 with LV). Today I decided to see if anyone else has the same problem. Here are my findings:
    1. Laptop (Dell M90, Intel dual core, 2 GB Ram) (See SysProps file, attached): It does not matter whether the CPU is idle or not, not what the size of the VI is. I created two empty VIs (A and B). Each time I rt clicked the icon and selected VI Properties, then timed it to see how long it took for the dialog box to appear. (I later I emptied the recycle bin - no change).
    Test1
    Open Vi A: Delay = 5 sec
    Wait about 1 sec
    Open Vi A: Delay = <1 sec
    Wait about 1 sec
    Open Vi A: Delay = <1 sec
    Wait about 1 sec
    Open Vi A: Delay = <1 sec
    Wait about 1 sec
    Open Vi A: Delay = 5 sec
    Wait about 1 sec
    Open Vi A: Delay = <1 sec
    Wait about 1 sec
    Open Vi A: Delay = <1 sec
    Wait about 1 sec
    Open Vi A: Delay = 5 sec
    Test2
    Open Vi A: Delay = 5 sec
    Wait about 10 sec
    Open Vi A: Delay = 5 sec
    Wait about 10 sec
    Open Vi A: Delay = 5 sec
    Wait about 10 sec
    Open Vi A: Delay = 5 sec
    Wait about 10 sec
    Open Vi A: Delay = 5 sec
    Test3
    Open Vi A: Delay = 5 sec
    Wait about 1 sec
    Open Vi B: Delay = <1 sec
    Wait about 1 sec
    Open Vi B: Delay = <1 sec
    Wait about 1 sec
    Open Vi B: Delay = <1 sec
    Wait about 1 sec
    Open Vi B: Delay = 5 sec
    Wait about 1 sec
    Open Vi A: Delay = <1 sec
    Wait about 1 sec
    Open Vi A: Delay = <1 sec
    Wait about 1 sec
    Open Vi A: Delay = 5 sec
    Conclusions:
    1. If one waits longer than say 5 sec between trying to open Vi Props, the delay is always present.
    2. If one opens the VI props on same or another VI within a second or so, the delay disappears for a few times (2-4 maybe) then reappears.
    2. Desktop PCs: Both AMD Dual Core 4200 XPs.
    No delay  in opening VI properties in either case. In one case, the PC was running a bunch of LV apps which were using 30% of the total CPU%. The VI Props Dialog box still opened instantly, many times in a row, or first time after a long delay.

  • How do I configure my custom step type to call its Express VI configuration dialog box each time I double click the step?

    By double clicking on a step in the TestStand Sequence Editor the Properties dialog box pops up.
    How to change this behaviour?
    I would like to configure my step type so that each time I double click the step, the Express VI configuration dialog box pops up, instead of the properties.
    One Idea is to use custom activeX substeps, for example, Antonio Lie mentioned the substep "OnNewStep" in my last post. Is there also a "OnDoubleClick"?
    Does anyone know a list of activeX substep that can be used? Or are there other ideas?
    Thanks a lot!!!
    - Caribe -

    Caribe,
     1. Currently it is not possible to change the behavior for double clicking on a step. It is a good idea though, and we will be consider to add it to the next versions of TestStand.
     2. "OnNewStep" is the only "special" substep. It was implemented for internal use and it is not documented yet.
     3. If you want to know more about substeps you can red the Reference Manual, Chapter 13 is a good place to start.
     4. I want to make clear that "OnNewStep" is called every time you insert a new step. The sequnce editor gets the substeps list and if it finds the "OnNewStep" substep in the   list It calls it using the API. The substep can use any adapter type, It does not have to be the ActiveX adapter.
    Hope it helps.

  • Funny fonts in some dialog boxes on Mac OS X 10.6.5

    Hi
    We only just started using Dreamweaver after installing it a little while ago. We have version CS5. When we go, for instance, to the Page Properties dialog box,  the field labels seem to be using a corrupt font. I wonder, if that is the case, if it's possible to find out what font it might be so we can replace it. Or, check to see if it's missing. I've checked that the font in /LIbrary/Application Support/Adobe/Fonts are correct - and the default fonts are present in /System/Library/Fonts and /Library/Fonts.
    Any suggestions apprectiated!

    Definitely a corrupt font without a doubt.  Only thing you can do is open up Font Book and see if you can find the suspect.  I doubt it came from an Adobe installation, looks to be a custom font, probably an "outline" version by the looks of it.  You could always take a screenshot and crop the image and use What the Font so you don't have to go through each font.

  • Why is the 'Choose icon...' button in the Options tab of the field property dialog box not enabled?

    I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional XI running on Windows 8.
    This “feature” has been bugging me for some time now. I remember it happening when I used Acrobat 9 Professional (Windows XP) and it is still happening in Acrobat XI Professional. I think I figured out a situation when I can reproduce this “feature” conistently and I hope someone fixes this.
    Try the following and see what happens:
    1. Acrobat Professional is not open.
    2. Launch Word and start editing a document (or some other authoring tool that can generete PDF document).
    3. After editing the document, generate a PDF version of the document.
    4. Launch Acrobat Professional and edit the PDF document generated in 3.
    5. Add a button.
    6. View the button's properties.
    7. Change the Fill Color property in the Appearance tab to none.
    8. Change the Layout in the Options tab to Icon only.
    Now here is what bugs be. Shouldn’t the 'Choose Icon ...' button be enabled? It is not enabled after step 8. It is possible that 'Choose Icon ...' button is enabled for some of you. I this case, it would be nice if at least one of you who experience the same bug say so in this thread so that Adobe doesn't think I am sending them on a wild goose chase.
    I can enable it by selecting a different tab and then returning to the Options tab. A similar thing happens when reverting back from 'Icon only' to 'Label only' but I am not sure how to reconstruct a scenario for this one.
    Here is the dialog box for one instance when I noticed the bug.
    Regards,
    John

    You're right, it has been that way for a long time. I've never bothered reporting it as a bug since it's simple enough to deal with, but reporting it would be a reasonable thing to do.

  • How to make yellow dialog box not come up when I mouse over tabs?

    I hate the little small yellow background colored dialog box that pops up when you mouse over tabs on Firefox on Mac.
    The reason why this is an in convenience on the Firefox in Mac is when a dialog box comes up and you minimize Firefox the dialog box stays there on the screen, so you have to bring Firefox to the front and then mouse over it til the box go's away, and then finally you can minimize Firefox without having the dialog box stay on your screen.
    To negate this problem I want to know if their is a way for me to disable that dialog box from coming up at all. It also comes up when I mouse over my all in one sidebar add on and I have noticed it when you mouseover links on certain sites, like in Pandora when I am mousing over the different artists in my list the little box comes up, again it's not needed and very annoying.

    you must modify '''browser.chrome.toolbar_tips'''
    type in the address bar '''about:config'''
    then press the button''' i'll be careful i promise'''
    then type in the bar '''browser.chrome.toolbar_tips'''
    then '''Double-click''' on it, to make it''' false'''
    exit firefox and restart-it.
