Insert Menu Item with underscore

When I insert menu items that have underscores it underlines the previous letter rather than showing underscore. How do I fix this problem?

Are you trying to get a menu item to be selected by an Alt key combination? Placing an underscore "_", before any letter in the Item Name will cause an underscore to appear under the subsequent letter (not previous) and allow Alt + the underscored letter to active that menu item. For example, J_unk will appear as Junk with an underscore under u and ALT + u will activate the Junk menu.

Insert menu item behaviour

I recently contacted NI support about a -bug report regarding the documentation of the function "Insert menu item".
It declares int he help that the values for "Item Name" is the string which appears in the menu and "Item Tag" is the unique Identifier for the menu item. If only Tag is wired, the names are created automatically otherwise they take the values input on the terminal "Item Names".
I was a bit surprised when a bit of my code behaved differently than I had expected. Apparently an empty string for "Item Name" is NOT created, even if I provide a perfectly valid "Item Tag".
I think this kind of thing needs to be mentioned in the help. I don't want the behvaiour changed because it's actually a cool feature for what I'm doing but I can't reconstruct the real behaviour of the node from the help alone...... Nowhere is the difference in handling of an empty string as opposed to a non-empty string even mentioned.
Am I being too pedantic on this?

RFC 2323 FHE-Compliant

Hello Shane,
Concerning the Empty String Item Name that doesn't get created.
Did you get in touch with an Applications Engineer about that?
Because at my side (in 2014) it does seem to get created.
Or am I misunderstanding the test you are doing?

Why does DW disable insert menu items?

This must be a configuration option someplace, but in general, why would DW disable Insert menu items?
I am in .cfm file, in clearly an unlocked area of a page where I should be allowed to insert hyper links, email links, horizontal rules, images, tables. But on the Insert menu, each of those items is disabled (and others, but you get the point). Since the insert menu items are disabled, the keystroke shortcuts for those actions don't function.
I can manually type in these tags, and I can insert them from the Insert window.
I start a brand new .cfm page, and the insert menu is fine.
It appears DW is examining the code and deciding [INCORRECTLY] what is appropriate to insert via the menu.
Thanks for any insight provided.

Can't find "Endnote Citation" in the INSERT menu item

I wanted to insert a citation or bibliography in my report using Pages but I can't find the feature in Pages to do this. From the help, it stated going to INSERT then select "Endnote Citation" but in my Pages, under the INSERT menu item, I can't find "Endnote Citation".
I am using Macbook Air 2010, and Pages 09. Please help.

Apple includes download links to some very useful documentation with each of the iWork '09 applications. You'll find it in the Help menu. Each User Guide is a searchable PDF document packed with useful information on using the application.
On page 52 of the Pages '09 User Guide, the topic of Footnotes and Endnoted is discussed:
Adding and Editing Footnotes and Endnotes
In a word processing document, you can add special marks (numbers or symbols)
that link to notes at the bottom of a page (footnotes) or at the end of a document or
section (endnotes).
You can’t mix footnotes and endnotes in a document, but you can convert notes from
one type to the other.
(emphasis added)
The Footnotes menu item in the Insert menu serves to insert markers for either type of note.

Lost most of the Apple Menu items with 10.8.5

I have only
About This Mac
Force Quit...
Sleep
Log Out (User)...
The Finder starts up as Simple Finder, I have to select Run Full FInder to get the full Finder back but it does not reactivate the Apple Menu items.
After restarting the computer the Finder again opens as Simple Finder.
Root has access to the normal Apple Menu items.
Please someone give me some advice
Thanks

Part of your problem, at least, is that you're in single-application mode.
Back up all data.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults delete com.apple.dock single-app && killall Dock
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You should get a new line ending in a dollar sign ("$"). You can then quit Terminal. Test.

Insert menu item blank in sequence editor for new sequence

In TestStand 2.0.1, when I create a new sequence file using the sequence editor and right-click to insert a step, the Insert menu is greyed out.
If I open an existing sequence file, copy a step from it, and paste it into the empty sequence, then whatever that step was (let's say Action) becomes available on the Insert menu.
Is there any way to fix this other than re-installing TestStand? Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks,
Gizmogal

Hi,
This sounds like you have a problem with your type Palette files in sowe way.
Check out if you can read the ini files found in teststand\cfg\TypePalettes.

I can't link menu items with the areas in the page:

I download a theme over imternet and menu and the page areas not linked how can i do that ?
When i press the communication button i stays constant
but there is communication section and i can't linked them.

You cannot link default menu items , default menu includes the link to pages ( site structure).
You would need to create a manual menu if you want to link new pages to menu items. Please let me know if you are not looking for this answer.

Multi-row menu item with highlight effect (JDEV - 100202.0230.5526)

I am using the PS2 JDEV ((JDEV - 100202.0230.5526). Is it possible to have a multi row display for a menu item (af:commandMenuItem) while preserving the highlight/roll over selection effect of a typical menu item in af:menu. I would like to display an image (which may not be possible to display as an icon attribute), a description and another field (such as count) below the description.
The menu will then be a list of such items. I would like to then have user select this as a menu item, when the user scrolls to any such item, keeping the rollover/highlight behavior.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the response. Is there an example/code snippet for this (using commandLink). Or any other mechanism possible to get similar behavior (if not using commandMenuItem) for highlight in case of multiple components (as a single row/item) ?
Thanks again.

Problem when trying to add a link to the left menu item!!!!

Hi everyone,
I am trying to put a new menu group on the left menu,with a link in that group for every one.On checking with the customization guide this is what i did
for one link i did add the following lines in each of the files
1)xlWebAdmin.properties
- menuGroup.Misc-Menu=Misc Menu
- menuItem.Misc-Menu.My-Nomination=My Nomination
2) xlDefaultAdmin.properties
- menuItem.Misc-Menu.My-Nomination.link=mynomineefrm?showfrm
3) repacked the war and the ear
4) Restarted my server
When I login into the administration(xelsysadm) page I didnt see any menu item with name "My Nomination" which i am supposed to see.
secondly it shows the menu item when ever i select some group and click on assign menu item.
Moreover, when I try to assign this menu item to all users group it gives me this error
On browser it prints
Permission Denied to Assign Selected Menu Items
You do not have the permissions to assign one or more selected menu items.
on console it prints
ERROR [SERVER] Class/Method: tcDataObj/eventPreInsert Error :Insert

This problem eat my happy sunday :-(, any one has solution for this problem?
- Also if some one can help on how to link jsp to the new link will be helpful for me!
Thanks,
doki

Design Console > Form Information > add new

Organizations.Merge=mergeOrgs.do?Display
menuItem.Organizations.Merge.link=mergeOrgs.do?MergeOrganizations
menuItem.Organizations.Merge=Merge
mergeOrgs.button.display=Merge Organizations
Even you have to assign first to System Administrator group
First go to Manage Group
Select System Administrator Group
Select Menu Item
Click Assign and select newly craeted Menu Item and click Confirm
These are the steps to see the new menu item. To make this menu item working:
you'll have to write action class, form bean class and you'll have to create JSPs and make their entry in struts-config as welll as in Tiles-def.xml
Then your menu item will work.

How to change the default position of context menu item? (C#)

Hi,
I have included a calendar context menu item with my Outlook Addin. But by default, its positioned at the last as shown in the picture below:
I need a way to make it as the fourth item instead of last one. Also, I want set an icon for the same. How can I do that?
Appreciate if you can give some sample examples.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks Prasad

Hello Prasad,
The
Customizing Context Menus in Office 2010 article in MSDN describes the basics.
You can specify the IdMso value of the built-in control after/before you need to insert your own:
<button id="MyBtn" label="MyButton" insertBeforeMso="OpenSelectedItems" />
See
Office 2013 Help Files: Office Fluent User Interface Control Identifiers
for IdMso values.

1.Assign shortcuts to scripts 2. Actions remember insert menu commands when app is started

It been ask before... Many times. There is probably a current request right now. It will be asked again... And again... And again... Under keyboard shortcuts, allow scripts to assigned a shortcut. Also have actions remember insert menu commands when the application is restarted. Was patiently waiting years ago... Now I am starting to grit my teeth. When my dentist lectures me over grinding my teeth, she will not be as forgiving as I have been over the years. It is time to set a small portion of available resources to fix and add functionality to this.

OK, so at least we have one solution "with shortcut for script problem":
1. Put "script.jsx" into folder Mac OS X > Applications/Adobe Illustrator {version}/Presets/{Lang}/Scripts
2. Make Action, "insert menu item" in it -> select "File\Scripts\script.jsx"
3. Assign shortcut to this action. PROFIT
But! The problem is: Illustrator "forgets" about menu item in action after restart.
Therefore you can use script shortcut only one time per "session", and every time starting we need to make "insert menu item".
Well, this is the second part of topic question, I guess. And I don't have solution. This is what I got:
0. If you have several scripts with shortcuts, everyday inserting all scripts in actions is boring. Make a folder for this actions. And "Save actions" it to ".aia"
1. Every time starting Illustrator — Delete folder with your special "scripts-actions" (because it's actions is emptied!)
2. Then go to "File>Scripts>...". Now just gently stroke your scripts with cursor. Like a kitty. Ahahaha! )) It is not a joke!!! Do not start the scripts, just enter to its' submenu.
3. Now "Load actions" from your .aia. Have a nice automated session with your magic scripts! This works for me. If you have daily work routine and 5-10 scripts, this is the best solution.
* If you skip step 2, you will get "Some event has not been registered for actions"! And empty action. If first you will stroke the kitty, you will get your magic shortcuts after "Loading actions"! As I told, this not a joke, but strange Illustrator behavior.
* If you did not delete previous folder (step 1), you'll get 2 folders with actions, old one — without scripts, new one — without assigned shortcuts. And nothing works. Delete all and reload.
* One more thing. I have Scriptographer Extension. This extension manages scripts (js) and has "scriptographer palette". In this palette I found shortcuts, to execute selected script and etc. So, in theory it is possible to rebuild this extension with shortcuts for some scripts. Maybe we should dig in that direction? I'm too stupid for this.

Alt+mnemonic key is not working properly for Menu Items

Assume there are two menus , File Menu with mnemonic Alt+F
and Save Menu with mnemonic Alt+S. File Menu contains the
menu items like PageSetup with Mnemonic S. Save menu has
the menu item Properties with Mnemonic P.
Pressing Alt+F opens the File Menu which has the menu item
PageSetup.Pressing S activates the PageSetup menu item.
Similarly Pressing Alt+S opens the Save Menu which has the
menu item Properties. Pressing P activates the Properties
menu item acion. But Pressing Alt+P also activates the
Properties menu item action(it is not the desired behaviour)
Pressing Alt+Mnemonic key has to open only the Menus.It
should not consider the menu items.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1.Press Alt+F
2.File Menu is invoked
3.Press S
4. Invokes the menu item action
5. Press Alt+S
6. Save menu is invoked
7. Press P
8. Invokes the menu item action
9. Press Alt+P
10. Invokes the menu item action
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Pressing of Alt+Mnemonic key invokes the menu and also menu
item actions. If the same mnemonic is present in the Menu
it is giving the priority to Menu only.Pressing of Alt key
alone does not hiding the pull down menu
Expected Result;
Pressing of Alt+Mnemonic key has to list out the pull
down menu only.It should not consider the menu items with
the same mnemonic. If Alt key alone is pressed the pull
down menu has to hide.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

Various Menu items greyed out

Most of the Insert menu items are not available. I'm in
Design view, place the cursor in a table cell (for example) and go
to Insert > Image and it's grayed out. So are most of the other
items.
Note, that this only affects certain documents. If I create a
new document and repeat the process, things work fine. This
existing ASP page is giving me the trouble.
Using Dreamweaver CS4 / Mac OS 10.5
I should also add that this problem page isn't a template, so
it's not an editable region thing.
Any ideas?

Start by backing up the user/Library/Application Support/Addressbook folder.
In that folder is a file called AddressBook-v22.abcddb. Delete that and start address book. That will delete the index and have AB recreate it. I don't know if that is the problem, but may be.
On a different tack, download and install the 10.6.3 combo updater. It may fix what is broken. However, most problems are data-related, not the application itself.
Can you log into a different user and open Address Book? Just create a new user account for testing, if there isn't another. I keep one just for checking stuff like this. Checking in a different user will tell us if it is a system-wide problem, or just that one particular user.

Changing only 1 menu item background color in a VerticleSpryMenu

Im working on this Verticle Spry Menu Bar (seen below) . I'm trying to figure out how to change the 'Get Started!' Item to be a different color than orange. Home, Support and Get Started! are clickable links with no submenu whereas the other menu items have submenus. Is there a special code to customize just Get Started!. Through CSS stylesheet I can get Get Started to change color but then Home and Support also change color and I dont want that.
Thanks

For all menu items use the following selectors
ul.MenuBarVertical a
ul.MenuBarVertical a:hover, ul.MenuBarVertical a:focus
ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemHover, ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover, ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
For menu items with sub menu items use the following selectors to override the above
ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemSubmenu
ul.MenuBarVertical a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover

Forms 6i Menu Items not Lauchning (FRM-40010: Cannot read form...)

Sorry for the newbie issue - I just haven't been able to figure this out...
I inherited maintenance of a old Oracle Forms Application, I was told it was version 5. And all the source modules were appended with "v05" like form1_v05.fmb, etc. I since discovered that when the users launch it they run against the forms 6i run time - so I guess this means it is actually a forms version 6i application.
The App has about 20 forms, 20 reports and a menu - and no project.
I copied all the source files into a working directory, then I created a project with the project builder using the "use all files in the current directory".
When I run the app ( by drilling down to this app's "logo" form - a splash screen contain our company logo, and a Menu structure it runs fine.
But just about every menu item I attempt to select ( i.e. MENU->Catagory1->OrderForm or in my case something like MENU->Inbound->Entry/Maintenance) results in no new form launching and the status bar contains the error message like "FRM-40010: Cannot read form order_v05.fmx"
In the above example the project does contain a order_v05.fmb, and it compiles fine ( in fact a project "build all" generates no errors or warnings ) - my single working directory contain all the source modules ( like fmb's, rdf's and mmb's) and compiled versions ( fmx's, mmx ) . Specificlly the order_v05.fmx is also there.
So why can't the app find the compiled form compiled in the same project and located in the same directory?
I also see several ERR files but the only thing the err files contain is a whole lot of lines saying things like " Compiling POST-FORM trigger on form... No compilation errors."
Any help getting this beast to run would be appreciated.

I may have a clue as to what is causing the issue, but don't know how to fix it.
I started poking in the menu items, and the child menu item that is supposed to do something runs some "Menu Item code" like this:
begin
hide_window('DLG_MAIN');
CALL_FORM( 'out_order_v05.fmx'
, no_hide
, do_replace
, no_query_only
, no_share_library_data );
show_window('DLG_MAIN');
end;I made a NEW root menu item, with a new child menu item and set it's "Menu Item code" like this:
begin
hide_window('DLG_MAIN');
CALL_FORM( 'C:\Data\_OraFroms\ITFS_V05\order_v05.fmx'
, no_hide
, do_replace
, no_query_only
, no_share_library_data );
show_window('DLG_MAIN');
end;And when I made this change, my new menu item launched the form, but the original one did not ( notice the only difference is my new menu item gives a fully qualified path to the file name ).
So it looks like my project is clueless as to it's own home directory - anyone know how I clue it in?
