Menu Items Behaviour

Hi guys, I am new at using Dreamweaver and I want to create a
help menu in Dreamweaver by using a drop down menu & when
selecting an item from the menu have a little discription come up
underneath the drop down menu. The copy that will appear I'm going
to make appear by using layers and there visibility shown/hide
behavior. My question is: How can I assign each item on the list
individually so that I can apply a behavior to it? I hope this
makes sense and that you'd be able to help me!

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?

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?

Strange ATV2 behaviour - Movies can't be selected for downloaded & most menu items not selectable??

ATV2 fully online, previews movies, downloads YouTube, Homesharing all good (and a seasoned ATV owner and user)
However download movies is not working, and no error message just a "beep" sound when you select "rent movie".
Also many of the menu items cannot be selected. You cannot down select most of the items under General, so it's impossible to change settings, or to do any troubleshooting. You get the same "beep" sound when you select Name, Network, iTunes Store, Reset, etc.
I have done the usual power down, plus reset using remote, but the system doesn't seem to go back to factory default. I haven't tried the mini-USB connection to MAC as I don't have a cable but hoping someone can help?

Very puzzling that I have only seen the bad behavior on Win8.1, and not when debugging the extension. (Haven't been able to try the extension on Win8, but have tried it on several Win7 computers, and one WinServer 2012 R2 computer.)
Is there someplace to look for runtime exceptions? I haven't seen any in the Output window when the bad behavior occurs....
(If you want to try the extension, you can add a gallery and point it to www.cbates.net/VSIX/atom.xml.)

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.

Menu item icon not updating

Hi,
I have an action into which I set an Icon:
action.putValue(Action.SMALL_ICON, icon1);
now I set this action into my menu item and show the item in a menu. The item displays correctly and the icon is visible.
later in the program i do:
action.putValue(Action.SMALL_ICON, icon2);
then I open the menu but the menu item still shows icon1 until I roll over it with the cursor when it finally changes to icon2.
Any ideas on how to make this update immediate?
BTW at the point of changing the icon, I don't have access to the menu item or the frame etc, just the action.
Thanks a lot,
Jim

Anyone got any more ideas?Maybe you have a programming problem, but we can't see your code so we don't know for sure.
If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
And don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags so the code retains its original formatting.

Automatically debugging when calling a script from a menu item

Hi All,
I'm coming accross an issue that I was wondering if anyone can help me with or point me in the correct direction.
I have two start up scripts.
One runs in the "session" target engine and setups ups some custom menu items and actions which call some other custom scripts.
The other runs in my own custom session and is used to initialize and share common constants and functions between my custom scripts.
This all appears to run as expected and clicking on the new menu item calls the correct script however even without the ExtendedScript Toolkit running as soon as i click on the menu item it will load up the ESTK and break on the first line of the script. If I press F5 to continue processing it will finish and runs fine.
I am currently using the excellent extendables package (http://extendables.org/) to do some HTTP and simplify UI creation which does not specify a session.
Does anyone know what is causing the scripts to be automatically debugged or is there a setting that might be set to cause this?
Is this being caused by "session" calling "customSession" using code that will run in the default "main" session?
this really is irritating me at the moment so if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
This is all done using JavaScript in InDesign CS 5.5
Thanks in advance

just a quick update.
After stripping back and stubbing out some code I have been able to trigger a "session" going to my "customSession" then to a non-session (the default) so this is not causing my issue.
As I mentioned above i am using the extendables package and this appears to be where my issue is arrising. as soon as i include the package:
#include "extendables/extendables.jsx"
i get the strange behaviour of it going into debugging mode on the first line of the script being run by my menuItem eventHandler.
This is without actually using any of the modules available in the extendables package just including it.
I will try to post a message on the website for this package but if anybody has any ideas about what might be in there that is causing this I would appreciate any ideas/suggestions/theories.
Cheers

Xfce4 missing icons for menu items

My xfce4 seems to have blank icons for some of the menu items and I can't figure out why. I installed the entire xfce4 and xfce4-goodies groups.

maggie: are you talking about icons in the Applications menu applet? If yes, are the icons missing for applications which do not provide icons¹? If yes, then you have the answer: there is no icon displayed because there is no icon to display for the entry.
AFAIR, the pre-4.12 Applications menu applet displayed some ugly stock icon as a placeholder, but it seems that this behaviour is no longer present in the latest release. If you truly want icons for the entries, you may set them by editing corresponding .desktop entries. The best way is placing your overrides in ~/.local/share/applications as this will not pollute pacman-managed /usr/share/applications directory.
¹ See the corresponding .desktop entry in /usr/share/applications/ or ~/.local/share/applications

Why does not "Copy data" menu item of Colormap chart work?

I need to get image of colormap chart (Sound and Vibration Toolkit v4.0) when program is running or stopped. It is very easy to get image in the clipboard by using "Copy data" popup menu item, but there is a problem.
There is "SVXMPL_Getting Started with SVT (Simulated).vi" example where colormap chart is used. In this example it is possible to get image of colormap chart (axes, grids and data) by simply clicking "Copy data" popup menu item.
Colormap chart in program puts into clipboard only image with axes and grids! I have compared colormap charts settings in both cases and have not found any difference related to "Copy data" functionality. Any ideas how to fix it?
Running Labview v8.0 and Sound and Vibration Toolkit v4.0 on Windows 2000/SP4.
In the attach there are chart and clipboard images.

For sure I am using intersity chart in my program (look at the attached image), but "Copy data" copies blank chart image.
I have done very simple test with modified intersity chart used in SVXMPL_Getting Started with SVT (Simulated).vi example:
1) Modified intersity chart was copied to my program - "Copy data" copies blank chart image.
2) Copy of modified intersity chart was copied back to the SVXMPL_Getting Started with SVT (Simulated).vi example. Two charts were connected in parallel with the same settings and property nodes. In original chart "Copy data" copies right chart image, in twice copied chart "Copy data" copies blank chart image.
So I am a little bit confused with such chart behaviour. Does it mean that some specific chart setting affects "Copy data" feature? And this setting is not copied by copy'n'paste?Message Edited by rsa1024 on 01-31-2007 03:51 PM

Data menu items and Forms

I am enabling the Data menu items for my custom form like this:
myForm.EnableMenu("1281", true);
myForm.EnableMenu("1282", true);
myForm.EnableMenu("1283", true);
myForm.EnableMenu("1288", true);
myForm.EnableMenu("1289", true);
myForm.EnableMenu("1290", true);
myForm.EnableMenu("1291", true);
This works fine for my form but as soon as a SAP system form gets focus, the Data menu items do not work until I close my form. Do I need to do something in the "lose focus" event for my form?

In your menu event code, are you checking to see if your custom form is the active form before processing the menu event?
If not your code will be processed regardless of which form is currently active, and this could lead to the behaviour you describe.
You can tell if your custom form is active by looking at the "selected" property of form object.

John.

Menu click behaviour changed

Sometime over the last couple of months I noticed that on occassion when I click an item on the menu a drop down box appears and immediately disappears. I need to click the menu item a second time in order to keep the drop down on the screen so that I can select an item on the menu drop down. I don't know when this problem started, at first I ignored it. Now its getting annoying. I've tried all the usual stuff like reinstalling the latest combo updates, fixed permissions etc and nothing has helped. I thought it might be the Magic mouse driver, so I switch to an old Mighty Mouse and still there was no improvement. Nothing else seems to be affected. I know you might think I'm being fussy. Imagine when you are trying to do something in a hurry and you need to click on menu more than once to do something, it gets very annoying. Anyway, this is not intended behaviour for a mouse action. Any suggestions?

I am trying to avoid reinstalling Snow Leopard and all my other applications and their updates. You can imagine it will take quite sometime, not to mention all the documents and other data that I'll need to recover.
Actually, with Snow Leopard, Apple introduced an new default approach to installations from the DVD. Using the DVD, the installer ONLY replaces the system software, leaving your user data and applications untouched. Only takes 35-45 minutes to reinstall the OS and all your data and apps are preserved.
When necessary, now there is no excuse for reinstalling the OS to see if it resolves an issue.
You say you tried it with another mouse. What kind? USB? Bluetooth? I'm more inclined to believe the issue is with the mouse or with user behavior than I am with the OS. If you have been seeing this behavior with wireless mice, try using a corded mouse to see if the behavior changes.
As stated earlier, the only reason this could be occurring is that the OS is detecting 2 clicks instead of one when you select a menu. You are only clicking once - right?

How can I remove some menu items in the VC++ "Full featured" example that came with TestStand 3.5.

The full featured operator interface example of VC++ contains several menus such as File, Execution, Debug, Tools, and Help. I would like to remove or gray out some of the items base on the access privilege of the user's login. For instance if a user login as admin, I would turn on all the features. However, if an operator login to run a test sequence, I would only provide limited menu options.

The display of the menu items is already depending on the user's privilieges.
1/ Modify the privileges of each user profile to enable or disable some menu accesses (Look at "Using TestStand" manual, chapter 7).
2/ If you need to change the TestStand default behaviour, you can customize the privilieges needed to display some menu items :
Tools menu : The items are fully customizable. You can define the privilieges needed to display them.
Process Model : The "Enabled expressions" of the configuration and execution entry points are customizable. (->Sequence properties, "Model" tab)
3/ Finally you can customize the operator interface to choose the menu items to display. (Look at "TestStand Reference Manual", chapter 9)
But before you try to customize TestStand, try to explain your needs : The Operator Interface already updates the menu items depending on the user profile.
And an operator user has already limited menu options.
If you need to define more limited options, the easiest way is to customize the user privilieges of the "operator" profile.

Why does LV(8.0.1) still track the keyboard shortcuts of disabled menu items?

Hello all,
when I disable a (super-) menu item, the submenu-items are grayed out as expected. But they still accept their keyboard- shortcuts. Is this a bug in LV? If I explicitly disable the submenu- items, all works fine, but the simple method would be nicer and comprehensibly.
I made a VI to illustrate.

Menu with shortcuts.zip ‏37 KB

Hi Dave,
it seems a bit strange but at the end it is a absolutely correct behaviour. If you deactivate a menu item than all sub-menu items are deactivated in the menu bar. But that is only a feature of the menu bar. To disable the short cut you have to deactivate the sub-menu item itself. In you zip-file the <STRG - C> is deactivated but the <STRG - V> still works. That depends on the settings in your test3.vi where you defined the items to be disabled. If you add "Paste" to the array of items or if you disable all items then the shortcuts will be disabled as well.

Error while calling a form from another form's menu item

I created a main form and menu module for this form.
I am calling another form from main form menu item.
i moved both the forms and menu and compiled them.
But, when i run this form i am getting an error saying
FRM 92100: Your connection to the server was interrupted
This may be the result of a network error, or a failure on the server.
You will need to establish your session.
I set the seperateframe = true
networkentries = 30
But still getting the same error.
Is there any parameter that i am missing.
I will greatly appreciate if anybody can direct me to the solution.
Thank you.

How to reset input Text value on click of root menu item navigation link ?

All,
Jdeveloper - 11.1.1.6
I am facing this issue across the pages.
I have a root_menu.xml based navigation available as links at the top of ADF application. Some of the menu links directly have JSPX pages having the content being loaded , and others are JSPX containing Bounded task flow.
Issue :
On the click of the menu links, the page gets reloaded / refreshed , however the input value given on the page remains displayed even after refresh.
We need the page refresh along with any input test box getting cleared on Menu item click.
Any pointers as to how we can resolve.
Thanks

If your page is in a taskflow (which it should be as you use pageflowscope), you should have a method action in your task flow which you call to clear all the values you use in the UI.
