Key Down? Bug

Key Down? Event does not work properly for sliders with numerics visible.  Please see attachments.
First try the ordinary numeric which works correctly.  Now try the slider numeric and observe that
you cannot type in a 2 digit number.

Not a bug, just an error.  the event needs to be generated on the dig display of the slider control for proper operation

  • Weird Digital Display Key Down events

    (Using LV 8.51)
    I have a slider with the digital display shown.  The slider is restricted to 0-50 (I32)  I want the user to be able to type 0-50 in the digital display only.  I have formated the display as %2d and set all limits.  The display allows the user to type any arbitrary number of characters as well an many letters.  I figured out the random letters are the allowable numeric prefixas such as k (for kilo).  I need to not allow the user to type anything in the numeric display except [0-9][0-9].  I figured that I could filter the key down? event.  This did not work.  I placed the key down? event and the key down immediatly restricted the typing to a single character.  What did I do wrong or is this a bug.  Is thare a simpler way of restrictin g the imput (NOT Coersing which is done on the data but limit the input characters).  Thanks I am stuck on this one.

    I hope I am doing something wrong but I dont see it.  It seems that independent of registering for the keydown event the action of the slider changes.  I have attached an example.

  • I can't order more than one picture at a time in iphoto.  I am holding the command key down and highlighting two but only the last one is showing up

    Hi,
    I need help placing an iphoto order online for prints.  I have a few pictures I want in a few sizes and it seems to only allow me to select one at a time.  I have held the command key down but it defaults to the last picture i selected.  I appreciate your help.

    What system and iPhoto versions are you using?  As a quick test try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists.  See if you can get all of the selected photos in the order window as it should be.
    If you can't then try this:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • With Mavericks I have to hold command key down and double click to get a sub folder to open in a new window.  Can I go back to just double clicking ?

    With Mavericks I have to hold command key down and double click to get a sub folder to open in a new window.  Can I go back to just double clicking ?

    Of course. To do it, open a Finder window, go to Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and untick "Open folders in tabs instead of new windows".

  • I just created a new iPhoto library with holding the option key down and then opening iPhoto with version 7.1.5.  I changed the name of the first library to iPhoto library 1 and now I all my photos are gone.  My operating system is Mavericks.

    launch iPhoto wile holding down the option key and select the original library - when you create a new library of course it is empty
    And you seriously need to backup your iPhoto library and purchase and install iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store and download and run the iPhoto library upgraded \then run the new iPhoto - 7.1.5 is not fully compatible with Mavericks

  • All I have on my I pod touch is a white screen with multicolored lines going across screen.  What do I need to do.  I can't use I tunes because it says I have to have passcode and can't get screen to come up.  I have already tried holding both keys down.

    - See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.. It bypasses the passcode (and erases the iPod)
    - Next try DFU mode

  • Key down event to start something an stop arbirtrary

    hallo,
    what I'm trying to do is to start an event on key down an do a loop , something like move an axis for CNC , and this until i press an arbitrary key again.
    i have already a while loop an an event structure so it would be good just to add something withtout large modifications.
    have anyone an example code for me , please.
    i've looked already in a lots of posts but i can't find anything usefull for me.
    many thanks in advance

    again - lots of ways to do this.
    The attached example is just the fastest I could modify the previous version

  • Key down event handeling when the VI isn't active

    Hi
      I've written a simplel VI that increases or decreases a numerical indicator depending on which key is pressed on the keyboard. But this only works when the VI window is active (the titlebar is blue and not gray). Is there anyway to listen for the key-down event even though the VI is not active?
    In advance thanks

  • Key down event in background

    Is there a way to make the key down event in the wait event structure run in the background when labview is not the focus? Also what is the difference between the "key down? event" and the "key down event"? I couldn't find a good answer in the LabVIEW help.

    tst wrote:
    To expand a bit on RF's answer, while you can't use the event structure to register for key down events in other windows, there are some potential options:
    You could use the input VIs to poll the keyboard (and you can have a loop which will use a user event to send each new key to an event structure). The main problem with this (and it's a big one) is that it is unreliable. You would have to poll quickly enough (probably at ~20-50 Hz) to have a decent chance of being sure that you're not missing keys and even then it's not guaranteed. The other problem is that you don't know which window was actually in focus.
    You could try getting the window messages from the other window. I have no real experience with Windows messaging, but my understanding is that this will probably require you to write a custom hook in C to get it, but it's possible that this is also possible with the standard Win32 API functions. Even if it is, this is probably not something you want to get into to, but you could try looking it up.
    Actually this Windows Messaging already exists in LabVIEW:
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/4394
    However there is a few issues.  It only partially works in Windows 64-bit, and you have to know the handle to the application that you want to intercept key downs for.  I did a quick test and I was able to detect the KEYDOWN event in another VI that was running for for some reason got an error when I tried to get keydown on notepad.  This method would eliminate polling if you can get it to work, and because of this you shouldn't miss any key presses.

  • Key down events

    Hi,
    I've been working on code for handling a flash-plugin inside an existing application, and have been looking at getting the flash player working with the Cocoa/CoreGraphics API.
    Thus far, I have plugin loading, focus, mouse handling events all working. But then key events don't work consistently - on some flash applications, the key down events work, but on most they return a '1' but the flash app doesn't respond.
    This is most odd, and a pretty esoteric type of work - I don't know many people who get this kind of work, and it's hard finding people who can share their experiences of this.
    I've been going through the NPAPI docs on the mozilla website and copying a lot of the handling code in WebKit, Chromium and Firefox, but none of it seems to help any more - my handling code works the same way as that does, but the responses for key down events are different.
    So, this is just a last try before I go crazy - has anyone ever seen anything like this before?
    Thanks,
    Tom.

    Well, it is a problem with Flash Player and not Flash. I don't need an experienced Flash developer.
    Seriously though, the nature of the question is so esoteric that I doubt there are many developers anywhere who could give much advice.
    Thanks anyway.

    Hi ,

    Hi zakir,
    I hope I understood your requirements correctly. You have an editable ADF table. You would like to use the up/down arrow keys to move from one row to the next/prev row of the same column. Since the Tab key moves the cursor to the right and Shift+Tab moves it to the left, now you want to implement the same thing but just up and down, correct? If so, try this.
    /** Javascript **/
    function detectKey(evt) {
        var inputText = evt.getSource();
        var id = inputText.getClientId();
        var start2 = id.indexOf(":") + 1;
        var end2 = id.lastIndexOf(":");
        var numValue = parseInt(id.substring(start2, end2));
        var evt2 = evt.getNativeEvent();
        arrows=((evt2.which)||(evt2.keyCode));
        switch(arrows) {
            // Up arrow
            case 38:
            numValue = numValue - 1;
            break;
            // Down arrow
            case 40:
            numValue = numValue + 1;
            break;
        var newStr = id.replace(/:\d:/, ':' + numValue + ':');
        var comp = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent(newStr);
        if (comp != undefined) {
            comp.focus();
    /** Jspx. (Place a client listener on each inputText in the ADF table) **/
    <af:column .....>
      <af:inputText value="#{row.bindings.price.inputValue}" .....>
        <af:clientListener type="keyDown" method="detectKey"/>
      </af:inputText>
    </af:column>With this, you get to move Up/Right/Down/Left in the editable ADF table without using the mouse.

  • Tool bars missing advisor says 'hold key down - What KEY???

    My tool bars went missing, so I went to help. The advise said this is a 'new' feature [who needs this???] It also said I could restore the tool bars that I didn't ask to lose by holding 'the key' down and pressing V T etc at the same time. But, My key board probably has 50 odd keys on it. Which one of these is the magic key, so I can restore features I had set up the way I wanted in the first place. BTW, if this is an 'Improvement' please, don't try to fix what ain't broke - some of us like Mozilla because it is easy to use. I could always go with Explorer if I want gimmicks that accomplish nothing, but frustrating the user.

    Reference to the option key was found in the instructions to Reset toolbars and controls from support Mozilla.
    Thank you for the info. Pressing the alt key does produce the tool bar temporarily. I can use bookmarks if I act quickly before the toolbar disappears. With your info I will go back and try to get the toolbar back permanently.

    There is no way that you can press multiple buttons at exactly the same time. Which keys are you trying to press? Are you talking about "PlatMods" (shift, ctrl, etc.)?
    Keep a shift registers with the states of the desired buttons in a boolean array and change the respective elements to true or false, depending on key-up and key-down events. On the Key down events, check if all elements are true and act accordingly.
