Manually dispatching a keyboard tab event on a form does not work

Hi,
I am trying to solve the following issue:
I have a form that is sitting on a TitleWindow. This is a popup window. I have a TextInput field. After clicking on the TextInput field when I try to paste something on it, nothing happens the first time and it works i.e. I am able to paste when I do a cntrl V the second time (I am trying to solve this weired behavior). When I use the keyboard to tab to the TextInput field I am able to paste using cntrl V  the first time itself.
Therefore, I am trying to manually dispatch a tab keyboard event on a form using the following code and this does not work. I have 2 TextInput component on the form and I want the cursor to be on the second TextInput component.
I have a have a key down handler and I can see that the event that comes in is a tab event, but on the UI the cursor does not position itself correctly.
myForm.setFocus();
myForm.dispatchEvent(
new KeyboardEvent(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, true, false, Keyboard.TAB,Keyboard.TAB ))
Am I missing something?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks
Lilly

No I am not trying to change the text programmatically. I have added a click event handler and a paste event handler on the textinput. I checked the differences in the properties of event and did not see anything that is different.
I have a hunch that it has something to do with the fact that this form is sitting on a popup window.

  • Apple Keyboard: Tab, Caps Lock, Tilde and Esc not working.

    Yesterday I turned on my mac and was filling out some form and discovered whilst trying to go the next field that my tab button wasn't working. My tilde, esc and caps lock buttons won't work either (light comes on when I start up and pull out and plug keyboard back into USB port). It's strange that they're all tucked up in that left hand corner.
    Has anyone else come across the problem or have any thoughts about curing the problem?

  • Sorting on date (date_popup2) in manual tabular form does not work

    Hi All,
    I created a manual tabular form (based on a collection) with 1 date_popup2 field in it. This field is defined in the query as follows:
    ,      apex_item.date_popup2( p_idx                   => 18
                                , p_value                 => c004
                                , p_date_format           => 'dd-mm-yyyy'
                                , p_item_id               => 'f18_' || lpad (rownum, 4, '0')
                                , p_item_label            => 'Start date'
                                ) as tf_br_start_date
    In the report attributes I marked this column to be sortable.
    However, in the page the sorting is not working. It looks like it's always sorted in the order  of the seq_id.
    Can anyone tell me how to solve this?
    Regards,
    René

    I'd call it a bug/missing feature.
    It appears that within a Basic report, sorting on a column created using APEX_ITEM.DATE_POPUP2() does not sort by date.
    I'd file this with Oracle Support and see what they say.
    Include a link to this thread and your workspace login information.
    I got something to work by: (probably not what you want.)
    using the C004 column directly. (I just added it to the SQL code)
    setting the column's attribute "Display As" to "Date Picker"
    setting the column's attribute "Number /Date Format" to DD-MM-YYYY
    I suspect: since you don't start with p_idx => 1, this column becomes "1" ==> g_f01

    We have seen reports about a Community Toolbar extension causing this issue with not being able to open a new tab.
    So if you have such a toolbar then start with disabling it.

  • Tab key on Original Macbook does not work

    The Tab key no longer works when trying to tab over, or to tab to the next input box. However when you press Apple key Tab key, this key combo works. I would have thought at first that I had a bad key button for the tab but the fact that apple tab works leads me to think there is some setup I have messed up by accident.

    Ok, the problem is in your original User account's Library folder. It could be a preference file. Drag the preferences folder from that Library to the Desktop and reboot into that account. You can always drag the folder back when you are done testing.

  • Updating a table through a manually created tabular form does not work.

    Hi Friends,

  • Since upgrade to v29, pinned tabs don't appear and sometimes all tabs don't appear and open menu button does not work

    My pinned tabs don't appear at any start and at some starts, I don't see the bookmarks toolbar (I can restore that by removing it from view-toolbars and then reselecting it). when this happens, FF also does not show any tabs and the Menu button does not work.
    I have tried various suggestions found on here like deleting the sessionstore.js and re-installing FF, also tried disabling hardware acceleration in safe mode and still have the same problems.
    Am reluctant to reset FF in case I lose my favourites and Bookmarks, is there anything else I can try?

    Firefox may not have closed properly.<br />
    You can try to update to Firefox 29.0.1 to be released tomorrow (Friday) to see if that helps with this issue.

  • Portg Z30-A-108 - Num lock does not work on external keyboard

    Hi,
    We have a Portg Z30-A-108. We use it with external wireless keyboard and mouse. On the external keyboard is used, the num pad does not work (as if the "num lock" was off). I tried using the function key FN+F11 on the laptop but without any succes.
    Does somebody had the same problem or any idea to solve it ?
    Thanks.
    Nicolas

    >On the external keyboard is used, the num pad does not work (as if the "num lock" was off)
    You are talking about the external keyboard.
    But from my knowledge the internal Portg Z30-A-108 keyboard does not contain the num pad. Possibly this is the reason why the Num Lock is turned off.
    By the way: the NumLock can be enabled in the system registry.
    Open Windows registry editor using the command regedit.
    In the registry, go to the folders.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Control Panel\ Keyboard\
    Within the keyboard folder, you should find a string value named "InitialKeyboardIndicators" with a value of 0, 1, or 2.
    Here the value meaning:
    0 = Num Lock is turned OFF after the logon.
    1 = Disable Num Lock.
    2 = Numlock is turned ON after the logon.

  • Tab key does not work properly in Assessment mode

    I am predominatly using Adobe Captivate for software simulations and assessment purposes. 
    I've seen similar items posted on the forums and noted this appears to be a common problem with a solution, to edit the HTM file with the code  so.addParam("seamlessTabbing", "false"); see post http://forums.adobe.com/message/5283597#5283597.
    I tried this with a file that was published without the need for SCORM compliance and it worked fine.  Once the requirement was introduced for SCORM compliance (and to publish as a Zip file), this does not work as the code is different in the HTM file.
    My file has the following code:

    How could I edit this to disable the "seamless tabbing" referred to in the original article to make the TAB key work as intended.
    Thank you.

    This is from my e-book:
    http://www.infosemantics.com.au/troubleshoot-adobe-captivate
    Notice that the procedure for Seamless Tabbing in Cp6 with SCORM is different to that for normal non-LMS courses.
    Implementing Seamless Tabbing in Cp6
    All Captivate versions up to and including Cp6 had Seamless Tabbing active by default and set in the HTM template code. But you can still turn it off by manually inserting some code into the published HTM file as follows:
    Navigate to your published Captivate content and open the HTM file in Notepad.
    Locate the line of code in the HTM file that starts with:
    var so = new SWFObject(
    Add the following code on the next line:
    so.addParam("seamlessTabbing", "false");
    Save changes to the file and test by running your project again in the browser.  You should now be able to use the TAB key without leaving your published content.
    Adding seamless tabbing to Cp6 SCORM support files
    Seamless tabbing in Cp6 SCORM projects is a little more complex because the templates are quite different to those used for normal content.  To control seamless tabbing in SCORM content you need to make the changes to the SCORM_utilities.js file in the Captivate install directory.
    Depending on whether you’re on 32bit or 64bit, you should be able to find it at one of these locations:
    32bit:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 6 (32 Bit)\Templates\Publish\SCORM\Default\js
    64bit:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 6\Templates\Publish\SCORM\Default\js
    Open the SCORM_utilities.js file in Notepad or another suitable plain text editor. Scroll down to the end of the code until you find the following lines:
    so.addParam("quality", "high");
    so.addParam("wmode", CONFIG.WMODE);
    so.addParam("bgcolor", CONFIG.BGCOLOR);
    so.addParam("menu", "false");
    so.setAttribute("name", CONFIG.SWFOBJ_NAME);
    so.setAttribute("redirectUrl", CONFIG.REDIRECT_URL);
    so.addParam("AllowScriptAccess","always");
    so.write(CONFIG.TARGET);
    Add the so.addParam("seamlessTabbing", "false"); code to this group and save the file.
    If you are currently unable to save changes to these template files, my gut feeling would be that it must have something to do with your user permissions. E.g. you are not an Administrator for your own PC. Is that possible?

    The iPad cover lock is for when you use a cover with magnets in it to lock and unlock the iPad when you close the cover or open it. Try running a refrigerator magnet along the sides of the iPad and see if that trips the iPad Cover Lock back into the settings.
    That is not the same thing as the iPad Auto Lock setting which allows you to set an allotted time before the iPad goes to sleep.
    You can try resetting all settings to see if the Auto Lock feature retinrs to the iPad.
