Menu from right click got problems

Hi all
probably happened after using super duper backed up my entire system and booted once from the back up drive, the question is how to get rid of one of them instead of showing two.
it is not just safari and quicktime, it happens to all the apps, for instance, when i right click a picture, chose open with, and it would show two quick time player, two realplayer and so on, every app which can opened the picture showed twice.
Sorry for my english, i hope you guys can understand, and thanks for helping in advance.

Menu from right clicking dock icon not working

Now, I don't know if this was present earlier - I am sure it wasn't - but when I right click on iTunes in the dock, in 10.5.3, I get Play, Pause, Shuffle, Next, Previous, Mute, etc..but when I try to click on them, nothing happens.
Can someone else replicate this?
(I am using iTunes 7.6.2)

Ran Repair Permissions. Restarted iTunes. Problem persists.
I cannot select Play/Pause, Next, Previous, Mute, Shuffle, or Repeat All/Off/One. Everything else I can access when right clicking in the dock.

Since upgrading to Mail 7.0 the menu popup from right clicking an element in an email has changed.

Since upgrading to Mail 7.0 the menu popup from right clicking an element in an email has changed. There is now only a short three item menu:
Previously there was a longer menu (like the one when right clicking an item on a Safari page):
I've looked in Preferences and at all the Mail dropdown items but can't find any way to get the old menu back (or why it changed). In particular, I miss the "copy image" item which allowed me to copy an item image into a new email for forwarding. I've got two email accounts, an IMAP and a POP. The behavior is the same with both.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Richard

Your screen shots are not visible to me. But I think I understand your question.
Several thoughts come to mind:

You can still, of course, simply forward the entire email message containing the image.
You could also use the "Save Attachment ..." feature available when you right click and copy and paste from there once the image is saved.
Less likely, you could also use the "Share" feature available when you right click, though I suspect it may not offer sharing options that you would like.

Menu on right-click for numeric control

Hello,
is there a way to program a "menu on right-click" for a control (e.g. numeric), like there is for table controls?
I'm working with CVI 8.0.1
Thanks & Best Regards,
Greg

Yes, every control can be added a popup menu with a few instructions.
Design the menu nar in the UIR editor; do not associate it to any panel
Load the menu bar when needed with the line menuHandle = LoadMenuBar (0, "myfile.uir", menuBar): by passing 0 as the panel handle it will not be associated to any of them
In the numeric callback add these instructions:
     switch (event) {
        case EVENT_RIGHT_CLICK:
            // Context menu
           choice = RunPopupMenu (menuHandle, menuBar_Menu, panel, eventData1, eventData2, 0, 0, 0, 0);
            switch (choice) {
   case menuBar_menu_item1:
// menu item handling code
break;
break;
Passing eventData parameters to RunPopupMenu function ensures that the menu is displayed at the mouse position.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Hi,
Do you have a solution for this? Looking for exactly the same.
As far as I have it at the moment I have the backing object added to the attributes of the node:
<a4j:support event="oncontextmenu"
                                     oncomplete="#{rich:component('foldersContextMenu')}.doShow(event, {})"
                                     actionListener="#{customerBean.buildContextMenu}" reRender="foldersContextMenu, selectedNode">
                            <f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{item}" target="#{customerBean.nodeTitle}"/>
                            <f:attribute name="node" value="#{item}"/>
                        </a4j:support>This allows me to get the object in the backing bean:
public void buildContextMenu(ActionEvent event) {
        UIComponent component = event.getComponent();
        log.info("component: " + component.getId());
        Category node = (Category) component.getAttributes().get("node");
        log.debug("node : " + node);But how I translate that to setting this as the current node is causing me problems.
Thanks
Jon

"Toast it" appearing in menu when right clicking

The words "Toast it" appears in menu when right clicking an icon but Toast has been uninstalled. How can I remove it please?

Try this previous discussion:

Re: "Toast It" wont go from contextual menu

Why did Lion remove spotlight search from right click options?

Why did Lion remove spotlight search from right click options?

If by "contextual menu" you mean Right Clicking, then Yes, I now can highlight text (say a name in Address Book), right click it, and Spotlight searches for it.
There is a little triangle next to the word Searching in Sys Pref; make sure it's pointing down and opens the sub-choices below it, i.e. Look up in Dictionary, Search with Google, and Spotlight.
Let me know if this doesn't do it for you.
Good luck.

Pop up menu on right clicking an image?

Hello,
I am new to LabWindows/CVI.
Requirement: "To get a pop-up menu on right clicking on image"
Right now, I display my images in window numbers (0 - 15). Is it possible to be able to get a pop-up menu on right clicking an image window. If yes, how? If not, could you please suggest other methods to achieve this task? Should I display the image in a separate parent panel for example? How could I do this?
Any help would be great.
Cheers

I would use the code generator for right click event. then fill it up with whatever code you want under right click case. You can access these when you double click your UIR file, then on the top of the page click Code\Preferences\Default... then choose desired events for picture then go to Code\Generate\all callbacks and skip through the ones you don't want to be replaced.

Disable set as background from right click in internet explorer 8,9,10,11 by GPO in Win Serv 2008 R2

Hi.
How to disable ''set as background'' from right click in internet explorer 8,9,10,11 by GPO in Win Serv 2008 R2.
People in my domain can set their background by right click in the pics on their IE, I enabled by GPO a wallpaper by default in ''Administrative Templates > Desktop > Desktop > Desktop Wallpaper'' and I enable too the ''Administrative Templates
> Control Panel > Personalization > Prevent changing desktop background'' at login people have the corporative Desktop but they can change by IE. What can I do? thanks.
<u5:p></u5:p>

Hi,
I test this issue, actually, in IE 11, the option "set as backgroud" is grayed out after I applied policy Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization > Prevent changing desktop background, but seems not suitable for
other versions of IE.

JSF Popup Menu on right click

Hi ,
I want to popup menu on right click of any component(say tree).I searched on the net and found the tomahawk <t:popup> component.
This component popup the menu when mouse pointer enter in to the component but I don't want this behavior.
I want to popup the menu only when I right click on the component.
This is sample program
<t:popup id="a"
styleClass="popup"
closePopupOnExitingElement="true"
closePopupOnExitingPopup="true"
displayAtDistanceX="10"
displayAtDistanceY="10" >
<h:outputText id="oa" value="#{country.name}"/>
<f:facet name="popup">
<h:panelGroup>
<h:panelGrid columns="1" >
<h:outputText value="#{country.cities}"/>
</h:panelGrid>
</h:panelGroup>
</f:facet>
</t:popup>
DO you have any component like this ? Or any other way to do like this ?
Thanks in Advance,
KK

I wrote a component a while back that does something similar to what you want. You'd probably need to fix it up and add any features that you need that it doesn't already have. It pops up a menu on a right-click, it allows you to provide a facet to supply the contents of the menu. I doubt I made sure it works in IE or any browser other than Firefox... so there may be JS issues. It has some other component dependencies you might want to remove also. I could get it to the point where you could try it out and fix it up if you want, but I won't have time until next week.

Remove an item from right-click menu?

How do I remove an item from a right-click menu? An application I installed but later removed placed an item on my right-click menu. I want to remove the right-click item it placed there. I've looked in .../user/library/contextual menu and /library/contextual menu but don't see anything there that suggests it might be related.
Thanks.

I suddenly realized this was a FireFox Add-on. Once I realized that it was easy to go to Add-on menu in Firefox and remove it.
Problem solved.

Removing "Open With [Program]" from Right-Click menu

I was looking around for Applications that could play .avi files and I found Perian so decided to install it. After installing it I quickly found that it didn't work with all of my .avi files and after some further reading realized that Perian is no longer supported and apparently does not work with QT 10. I decided to uninstall it and use VLC player instead. After uninstalling Perian and removing it from the "System Properties" it looks like it's still showing up in the right-click menu for .avi files.
My question is how do I remove this from being an option whenever I right-click an .avi file? Perian is no longer installed and I don't want to see it as an option.
Thanks in advance

This is probably because all the associated files have not been removed and it is still in the LaunchServices cache. To be sure you remove all associated files may require re-installing the app and using AppCleaner to trash it and it's supporting files.
Then, you may also need to clear LaunchServices caches
Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the prompt to rebuild LaunchServices: (be sure to copy the entire line it's a scroll)
Code:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

Selecting "open in new tab" from right click menu does nothing

I just updated to firefox 24 on OXS. The right click menu now makes no sense.
When I right click on a web link, then select "open in new tab" nothing happens. No tab opens.
On the other hand, I now see countless irrelevant options for that link, like "copy audio location", "copy image location", "play", "pause", etc when the item I clicking on is not an image, audio, video or any other sort of media. The contents of the right click menu now is longer than my entire screen, completely irrelevant to the link I'm clicking on and the one option that is relevant does nothing.
How can I fix this?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Services missing from right click menu?

I was trying to install some services that I created using applescripts and ThisService. The problem I'm having is that Services is not available in the menu when I right click on a folder or file. Looking under Keyboard in the system preferences, I can see all of the different services that are availible. I have the ones I'd like to use checked but no services appear in the menu when I right click. I've tried resetting defaults in the preferences, logging in and out, restarting and nothing helps. I found another post that said open terminal and run this /System/Library/CoreServices/pbs. When I enter that in the terminal, I get this message "No languages specified - assuming English" and nothing changes. I'm running 10.6.8 and I know that Services used to be avalible in the menu. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You mean this ThisService? Never heard of it before.
Why don't you create services using Automator (in /Applications)? That's one of the things it is designed to do. It has no problem with making sure they are properly created and installed in ~/Library/Services so that the finder can see them there under the conditions desgnated when you create them. You don't even have to log out and back in.
Note, if you like using applescript you can use applescript in automator too.

Activate Panel from right-click menu

Hi,
I'm developing a PlugIn with InDesign SDK CS6 and need to activate (?, not really sure if this is the right term) the panel from somewhere else (right-click menu [RtMouseDefault]). Basically, like the Mini Bridge panel is activated when you right-click on a picture->Graphics->Show in Mini Bridge.
I played around a bit but wasn't able to find a solution (guess I need to do something with my instance of the class PalettePanelView (?)), so would be glad if somebody could point me in the right direction.
Thanks, kind regards

Oooops, thats because it was one of mine.
P.
===========
HideShowPanelByID ( WidgetID w )

InterfacePtr<IPanelMgr> iPanelMgr(iApplication->QueryPanelManager());
if (!iPanelMgr->IsPanelWithWidgetIDShown(w))
iPanelMgr->ShowPanelByWidgetID(w);
