Jmenu Blinks - Disapears

I have created a JMenu like a thousand other times, but for some strange reason, when you click on the JMenu, the menu appears until you try and move the mouse cursor over a JMenuItem (i.e. move it into the JMenu). It then disapears until you move the mouse out of the area the JMenu would be and then back into the area again.
The first time you click on the JMenu Item, it works correctly and displays a JDialog. But then when you go back and try and click it again, that is when it happens. This has got me stumped.

If you would read the question instead of thinking you know what I am asking it may helpI did read your question and I do know what you are saying. I too have used JMenu without problems. So the question is what is different about this code compared to your other code. There is no way we can quess what your current code looks like.
My code is much to large to include. Which is why I asked for a simple example. If you can duplicate the problem in simple code then we might be able to help solve the problem. Based on your description of a frame with a menu item and a JDialog you should be able to create a simple example with those 3 components in about 20-30 lines of code (if you really have done it 1000 times before).

    Dear Skegsy,
    Fortunately, there is an example VI that does an excellent job of instructing one to use the custom control functionality to perform your desired action. To access these instructions, open LabVIEW, click [Help]>>[VI, Function, & How-To Help], search for "importing", select [graphics] under "importing", and click the link for "LabVIEW Custom Controls, Indicators, and Type Definitions". This link will open an Adobe Acrobat file with detailed instructions for your assistance.
    I wrote (and attached) an example VI for you in which I customized one of the default LabVIEW boolean buttons to show an up arrow for the TRUE case and a down arrow for the FALSE case. I modified the Boolean button by right-clicking on the button from the Front Pa
    nel, selecting [Advanced]>>[Customize...]. In the customize control window that now appears, you can modify any button using the help file instructions mentioned above.
    Please note: the attached VIs may not function correctly in LabVIEW versions other than 7.0.
    I hope this helps! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. Have a great day!

  • Viewsonic VX2452MH-CH 24" blinking and static.

    Situation
    ViewSonic Monitor will blink a few times then go static after 10-15 minutes of use. Then must disconnect and reconnect after a few minutes. Problem will persist.
    Setup
    MacBook Air 13" Mid-2013 | OS X 10.9.4 | 1.7 GHz Intel Core i7 | 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3 | Intel HD Graphics 5000
    DVI cable to DVI-thunderbolt connector.
    Have tried various thunderbolt connectors.
    Have not tried other DVI cables or HDMI or VGA option.
    Reference
    ViewSonic VX2235wm widescreen LCD
    Have downloaded SwitchResX.
    Not sure what custom setting to use to get MacBook Air video card to synch with monitor.
    If all else fails, will resort to VGA option but would like to hack current configuration if possible.

    Hi unsafe,
    Just a thought: about 1/5 of the way down your constructor you
    have the linesi2.addActionListener(this);
    i2.addActionListener(this);I think the second one should be "i3".
    (1) Perhaps you should rename your class "Notepad" rather than
    "notepad" - java programers find it helpful to keep class names
    looking very different to variables. (Don't forget to rename the
    .java file as well).
    (2) Descriptive names are a good thing: "boldBut" instead of "b1",
    "fontCB" instead of "c2" and so on. (If you had lots of CheckBoxes
    as well as ComboBoxes that might be "fontComboB"). This is quite
    easy to do with an editor that will search and replace.
    (3) I found one big long constructor a bit hard to read. Think about
    breaking it up a bit. For instance each of the JMenus (File Edit Format
    View Help) might have its own method that is called once by the
    constructor - the method would create the JMenu, populate it and
    return it to the constructor.
    Changes like these are a bit of a pain when you just want to get
    the thing (assignment?) finished, so it's best to get them right
    from the very first line (short documented methods, descriptive
    variable names etc). But it compiles! That has to be worth something.
    Cheers,
    Peter

  • Ie white flash blink solution

    hi,
    just wanted to share that i've managed to get the menu to
    work well in firefox, safari and chrome but in ie6 and sometimes in
    7 it was blinking a white flash when changing between the menu
    items.
    to solve it all i had to do is remove this line from my code:
    <?xml version="1.0" ?>
    even when it was commented it was still doing it. i also
    tried it with a combination adding the UTF8 attribute into the tag
    but only removing it helped.
    cheers,
    aaron.

    I dont see anything flashing in IE7, FF, i only see the arrow
    disapearing and showing on mouseover in IE6. or is this what u
    mean?
    Also im seeing your using /* SpryMenuBar.js - Revision: Spry
    Preview Release 1.4 */ <-- 1.4
    I suggest downloading version 1,6 and check if the problem is
    still there.

  • WRT54G --- Wireless Network disapears, computers wont connect to rouer wirelessly

    I am having big time issue with my WRT54G Ver. 8.2.
    It's practically brand new (5 days) and I haven't been able to get it to work stably yet.  The very first day I was able to get it going for almost a full day, but the next day, when I came home from work, my wireless desktop was not connected. 
    The issue here is that there stopped being a wireless network at all. I don't know if the SSID just stopped broadcasting, or if it got hidden.  I tested to find it with my regular desktop which has a usb adaptor, a laptop with a built in adaptor, and my smart phone, and none of the three were able to see the router. 
    I tinkered around with it (changed security settings, channels, reset a couple of times) and got uneven results.  Eventually, after a couple of days, I was able to get it to work with no security set up, but then I changed security settings back to WEP, and it disapeared again.  I went and downloaded the newest firmware 8.2.05 and I'm still not getting anywhere.  I just did a long reset, and I am seeing the wireless network again, (I set it with no security) but my wireless pc's cant get an IP (they fall back to the 169.xxx. address)
    I am basically pretty much stumped and have no idea what to do... Any help would be greatly appreciated, since I would like to know if I can solve this fast, otherwise, I'll just take it back to the store. Thanks.
    BTW.. I am on a wired desktop now, with XP ( I do all the setup work from here) my wireless PC's (one desktop and one laptop) are both vista.

    Hey try resetting the router reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!!
    Based upon your Internet Service Provider try setting up the router & also do the wireless & advanced wireless settings & setup the secured network & you should be able to go Online Wirelessly.Likewise, setup all the pc's & you should be able to go online without any issue.

  • JMenu content doesn't show up on second click

    Hello evryone,
    I have a weird behaviour with JMenu's.
    When I click on my help menu, and choose the "About" menu item, i show a JDialog with an ok button. So far everything is fine.
    But when i click on the Help menu a second time and scroll down the mouse for an item, the menu disapears. If i go to another one, go to an item and then go to the help menu again, then it works.
    I thought at the first time it was a JDK bug, but it seems stupid, since everyone does that (open a JDialog from a menuitem). I looked over on the internet to find this kind of behavior, but didn't find anything.
    I dont't know if you guys need any code ...
    Thanks a lot for your time.
    C�dric.
    PS : using JDK 1.4.2_05

    Ok then. I thought someone might have had that before ...
    My menu :
    public class RssMenuBar extends JMenuBar
            //building the help menu
            //About Listener
            about.setActionCommand(ApplicationAction.OPEN_ABOUT);
            about.addActionListener(new AppMenuHandler());
            //filling the menu
            helpMenu.add(<other item>);
            helpMenu.add(about);
    }The listener
    public class AppMenuHandler implements ActionListener
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            if (<otherActions>.equals(e.getActionCommand())) {
            else if (ApplicationAction.OPEN_ABOUT.equals(e.getActionCommand())) {
                log.debug("begin showAbout");
                AboutDialog aboutDialog = new AboutDialog();
                aboutDialog.show();
                log.debug("end showAbout");
            else {
    }The dialog
    public class AboutDialog extends RootDialog
        public AboutDialog(JFrame owner)
            super(owner);

            this.pack();
            this.setLocationRelativeTo(RssMain.getInstance());
        public void okPressed()
            this.dispose();
    }The root dialog (which adds two button (Ok and Cancel and provides convenient method to add component in its GridBagLayout)
    public abstract class RootDialog extends JDialog implements ActionListener
        public RssDialog(JFrame owner)
            super(owner);
            init();

  • Is the lightning bolt symbol suppose to blink while the battery is charging on the iphone with new iOS7 Software?

    After downloading the iOS7 software my battery was having MAJIOR issues. Issue #1 Phone does not keep charge, #2 my iphone no longer accepts a charge from wires that are 3rd party(meaning a lightning bolt charger that is not made by apple), #3 Once the phone reaches 100% i will sometimes keep it on the charger as I use it but as I am using the phone on the charger, the percent of the battery starts to decrease as if it was not on the charger. #4 The lighning bolt DOES NOT blink while charger and it does not disappear once the phone is fully charged so it looks like the phone is still charging. Can someone please tell me what I should do and is it normal for the lightning bolt to blink while charging and disapear once the charge is full??

    Can you shutdown the computer (Mac I suppose), then do the SMC reset and after that a PRAM reset (without the iPhone connected, also disconnect all external devices).
    SMC reset for computers with no removable battery:
    1. Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    2. On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option(Alt) keys and the power button at the same time.
    3. Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    4. Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Test the iPhone (with all other external devices still disconnected), still the same issue? If yes,
    do the PRAM reset:
    1.Shut down the computer.
    2.Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    3.Turn on the computer.
    4.Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    5.Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    6.Release the keys.
    Test the iPhone (with all other external devices still disconnected), still the same issue?
    If yes, disconnect the iPhone and test if everything is ok with sevral external devices connected, if OK:  It may be a failure in the iPhone.
    If no, there maybe an issue with the USB of the mac. But: you have to test by starting in another account in which you onle start iTunes and no other programs. It might also be a software failure of a user program.

  • Issue with magsafe/charging (blinks green, amber, off)

    Having a quirky issue with my mid-2009 Macbook Pro.
    A month or so ago, I began having an issue with my macbook charging. When the computer is up and running and I plug in the magsafe it will say "Calculating..." and then say "Not Charging" and then switch to battery use. It constantly does this as long as the magsafe is connected. The lights on the magsafe will constantly cycle from green to amber to no light.
    At first, it would do it a few times then it would start charging. Now it constantly does this without ever stopping. I was editing video the other day for a while and it never stopped the cycle.
    Thinking it was the battery, I took it into the Apple Store last week and got a new battery because it had been saying "Service battery" for a while and the battery would only last about 20 minutes on a charge. So I just thought the battery finally refused to charge.
    But the problem still exists.
    The magsafe is new (only 3 months old) and here's the quirky thing: the computer will charge if it's asleep (lid closed) or shut down completely. No blinking lights at all. It will charge as long as it's asleep or shut down. So I don't think it's the charger. But as soon as you hit the power button to starting booting up, it will blink.
    I have reset the SMC a couple times actually, but no change.
    Is there something software/firmware related that I haven't tried? Any insight or suggestions would be greatly appreciated before I take it back to the Apple Store (which is about an hour away).
    Thanks!

    Try resetting the system management controller

    If that did nothing for you,  try resetting the NVRAM

    Hey sunnyday7!
    Here is an article that can help you address this issue:
    OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit

    Additional Information
    OS X automatically relaunches the Finder when it is quit. If the Finder is unresponsive, use Force Quit to relaunch it. Select Finder in the Force Quit Window or Dock, then click Relaunch.

  • Macbook 13" screen blinks?!!

    Hey
    I've connected my macbook to a TV using the apple mini-dvi to video adapter.
    however, when it's connect both screens (the macbook and the TV) is blinking every other minute, which is quite annoying!!
    Does any of your know what causes this? the macbook is not "blinking" when it's not connected to the tv!
    Thanks guys!
    P.s. by "blink" I mean the screen are turning off for a short sec.

    So do both screens blink out in unison or in an unrelated manner? And when they blink out, do the screens go black and then come back, or black then blue then come back, or ???. Please describe as completely as possible because the soluton could be tied to the precise nature and timing of the symptom.
    Also, how are you connecting to the TV? Is it by composite or S-Video? And what kind of TV is it? An old style, CRT TV or a newer flat panel type?

  • Z77A-GD65 Multiple BIOS Issues - B4 Hang, Splash Screen Blinking

    Back in November 2012, I built a home server with a Z77A-GD65.  Lately, I've noticed some strange things happening that I've been trying to research but to no avail.
    First off, I get the B4 code hang-up whenever I'm booting.  This doesn't matter if it's a cold boot or a reboot, it hangs on B4 for about 10-15 seconds, flashes 92 really quick, and then goes to A2 which it stays for another 5 or so seconds.  After that I get the MSI splash screen for about 1 second, then it blinks 5 times.  After that it goes into Windows just fine.
    The blinking is a new issue, the B4 hang is not.  I've read from multiple posts that this is a USB issue.  When I disable USB legacy support, the issue goes away, but of course then I can't have legacy support.  I have yet to figure out what exact device is causing it.  In the process of trying to figure this out, I updated BIOS to A.A0.  After updating to this version of BIOS the splash screen blinks 5 times before going to the "Starting Windows" splash screen.  This is a more difficult issue to figure out why it's doing this because if you search for "BIOS" and "flash" or "flashes" or "flashing", you typically get results for flashing your BIOS.   Hence, why I'm using the term "blinking".  But even then I can't really find a solution out there.
    I also happened to see that the website for the Z77A-GD65 is showing a newer BIOS version, but I'm unable to flash this (at least using M-Flash).  I threw it on a USB, re-enabled USB legacy and whenever I click on it to install, the BIOS screen hard locks.  The screen just freezes exactly where it's at in the BIOS and the mouse is dead.  However, I can CTRL+ALT+DEL on the keyboard and it will reboot the system so I don't need to power cycle the computer.  Not sure why this is happening either.  Perhaps I need to flash this a different way?  Maybe I don't need to flash this at all?
    I could really use some input here on why this is happening.
    As for the specs on my system, they're as follows:
    i7-3770K overclocked to 4.2 Ghz by using the Turbo Mode in BIOS
    32GB Komputerbay DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz DIMM with Low Profile Blue Heatspreaders Quad Channel RAM | 9-9-9-24 XMP ready
    AMD PowerColor 7870 Myst Edition GPU - currently not overclocked although overclocking this doesn't seem to affect any issues
    2 - 128 GB Corsair SATA III SSD - one runs the OS, the other I use to load games from
    2 - 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM Sata II HDD's mirrored via Windows 7
    1 - 750 GB Seagate Barracude 7200 RPM Sata II HDD
    1 - 1 TB Western Digital MyBook USB 2.0 external
    2 - 3 TB Seagate USB 3.0 external
    ASUS DVD Burner - not sure which one, it's a cheapy $20 from Newegg
    1 - PCI USB 3.0 expansion card
    Antec TruePower New TP-550 Modular 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply
    NZXT Switch 810 gunmetal - currently have 4 fans running but plan on more, also the Switch 810 has the multi-card reader in the front with 1x SD Card, 2x USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.0
    for peripherals
    1 - Microsoft 360 Wireless controller adapter (legit one, not the knockoff although I had a knockoff prior to getting the real deal)
    1 - Logitech Wireless USB Keyboard with Touchpad
    I tried to be thorough.  Thanks in advance for any help!

    Probably a USB device problem.
    This is a candidate, as well as mouse and keyboard. Disconnect USB devices one at a time to find the culprit.
    A lot of devices running. PSU a +12V single rail or is it multi rail? A rail going to the graphics or components may not be enough amps. My best guess is the card reader.
    For UEFI/BIOS flashing, select your mainboard here and use the forum flash method;
    I'll definitely try unplugging some of these USB devices to see if that helps with the B4 hang issue.
    As for the PSU, according to the description for it on Newegg:  "Four industry-leading independent +12v rails are provided for more stable and safer power output."  It has two rails going to the GPU.  The GPU is a new addition to the system and so I wasn't running it until recently.  The issues were occurring beforehand, but you're right that this PSU is underpowered for the rig considering PowerColor recommends a minimum of 500w.  I'm going to be buying a larger capacity one sometime in the very near future.  Any recommendations on good modular PSU's?  What's a good way to tell what wattage to get?
    Thanks for letting me know about the forum flash method.  I'll be back later when I have some results.

  • Device not recognized by Windows or iTunes - Blinking green light

    When I try to connect my iPod shuffle to my computer (Windows XP), it's not recognized by Windows or iTunes. (i.e. device does not appear in Windows explorer or iTunes) While in the USB port, the Shuffle's green light blinks incessantly. My wife uses an iPod on this machine (under separate user name) and has no problems.
    I've tried updating software (iTunes, iPod), restarting my computer and resetting the iPod to no avail. My machine is not on a network. The USB port(s) work fine as I can use my memory stick (no USB cable) with no problems. I've tried connecting my Shuffle under my user name as well as my wife's. Same problem.
    Also, I had my Shuffle setup on an old computer (PC, Windows 2000) and it still works fine plugging into that. (I'm getting rid of it soon, hence why I'm discovering these new problems).
    Please advise. Since my Shuffle is over a year old, I am not eligible for online chat or phone support without paying for an Apple Support agreement.
    I know there's another thread with the same issue that was not resolved on the discussion board.
    Thanks to anyone who can help.

    Recently I used my ipod at work all night, just like normal. After work on the way home, like normal, I plugged it into my aux port on my car's head unit, and plugged it into power. 10 minutes later, in the middle of going over Ortgea Highway(hiway 74 between Orange and Riverside Counties), it just suddenly stopped working. When I plug it into any of my computers at home, nothing happens, it is not recognized or seen. When I plug it into power, it displays either a "sad ipod icon" or a battery with exclamation mark(!) icon. I have brand new power adapters both for the car and home, plus brand new usb cables, thinking that would help. It hasn't and now, since I opened those packages, I am out that $$ and ******. Since I received this unit as payment for electrical services rendered, I have no idea how old it is. Does anyone have any ideas? ([email protected])
