Minor bug in user interface

I have noticed a minor bug in the user interface... the font color in develop module changes to barely legible whilst editing values using keyboard. Does not seem to affect the font when using sliders to change values.

We've got that one bugged, thanks au2045

User Interface bug when renaming tracks in list views

When renaming tracks in the list views, there is a user interface bug that makes it impossible to see what you're doing. When you select a track in the list view, this is what it looks like:
Note how the text is white on the darker blue background. When you click again, to open the inline text editor to rename, this is what you get:
The background color of the text editor is white, just like the text, so when you type, you can't see what you're typing, nor can you see where in the original text your text insertion cursor is located.
Thanks!
Steve.

I'm frustrated with this same problem. In my case this happens only in my 10.5 macbook air and not in my 10.4 macbook pro. I've been renaming files in the same way in 10.2/10.3 and this never happened. Should be a bug. I've been searching for this issue and found this post at last - I really wonder why there aren't so many people mentioning this.

Bug in APEX 4.2.4 User Interface defaults

Hi,
I set the user defaults in a table. I select to create a static set of values for a field. All is good. Saved and used in a form like a charm.
When I go back to edit and add a new set of values to an existing List, I click on Add Row Button but nothing happens.
the path is: SQL Workshop > Utilities > User Interface Defaults > Table Dictionary > Table and Column Properties > Column Defaults > Static List of Values
Am I missing something? or is this a bug?

I tried (SELECT ...) UNION (SELECT ...) as simple Interactive Report query in APEX 4.1.0.00.32 and received "SQL statement needs to start with SELECT".
What version are you upgrading from?
I was able to do this in a Classic Report but it complained, wanting a unique key in the Interactive Report.
select * from ((select 1, EMPNO from EMP) UNION (select 2, EMPNO from EMP))

Thanks for reporting this. A bug report has been created (#302870).

Unable to load the user interface-please reinstall the application-Audigy 2 zs Platinum

unable to load the user interface-please reinstall the application---this is the message I get when my pc starts------Someone messing around with my computer tried to delete creative media source player 3 when they saw I had both 3 and 5 in folder and i get this error message every time I start my pc. In addition to this I have lost my EAX and THX consoles and my speaker settings are gone so I cannot adjust my 5. system at all. After I delete that error message when I click on the creative icon is sys tray instead of opening up the creative media player I get the error message--unable to load needed componants. Please reinstall the application. this is media player 3[version 3.32.]. I dont know why during the auto?updates through the last couple of years I have media player 3 in sys tray and if I need version 5 it is in file with 3--start-all programs-creative--any way my pc is a Cyberpower AMD FX-53 using win xp pro-32 bit-- and of course its a OEM product so they tell me the only way to get it to work is use the restoration cd they gave me when I bought the pc and it will revert back to its original state as when purchased. I would lose all my games, music, pictures?ect and would have to start from scratch.[ OR of course back everything up on a portable hard dri've]?It seems like there should be an easier way --hell I might as well buy a new soundcard and it would make it easier. If anyone?has an answer for someone who is not a tech head so I can understand please help !!--thank you in advance for any assistance as it is greatly appreciated. Sorry this message is so long winded, just irritating to have spen so much for a pc and not have the original installation disc.-tried moving to another slot and the fixes I saw posted here with no luck---thank you folks again--Tom

All the issues you guys are talking about have been reported in beta stage of these new drivers. I would say none of them has been fixed yet. The only solution for now is to use previous drivers which work fine or use some modified drivers which fixes some issues, but not all. Your choice.

Error in report builder wizard user interface

I am getting error 'REP-31954: Error in the Report Builder Chart Wizard user interface'.
The help subsystem states that I should make sure that the Chart Builder Wizard libraries are properly installed.
I am sure they are because all other wizards work fine, along with the Forms, Reports, etc.
I searched using Google and found two messages that indicate this is a bug in the program and not library installation related.
Does anyone know if this is indeed a bug that has not been resolved, or do I need to troubleshoot more on my end.
I re-linked Oracle graphics and checked the env variables, but nothing gets the Chart Wizard to work within Reports or Forms.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi.
I am running developer 6i on my home machine (with Oracle 8i, v 8.1.7). I am at work at the moment, and I can't recall what the Reports version is. The same error occurs with Forms.
The filename that I downloaded is called 'd2k6irelease2.tar'.
I downloaded the version that is currently on Oracle OTN's download site, so I presume that is the latest version that should contain all patches, updates, etc.
Thank you for responding!

A more successful experiment in creating compositable user interfaces for Config Dialogs

A couple weeks ago I posted an experiment in creating compositable user interfaces using transparent subpanels. The approach might best be described as, "It at least was notable for being novel."
Today, I'm posting another attempt, this one along more traditional lines, and far more successful. Particularly notable: this one can do all the arbitrary composition of the last one AND it solves the TAB order problem.
This solution uses a picture control and renders N copies of a control. When the user tabs to a control or moves the mouse over the control, a real control slides into that position to be able to catch the events (update mouse over draw state, highlight for keyboard focus, handle typing, etc). When the Value Change occurs, a master array of data is updated and the picture control is updated.
This is something that has been attempted in various forms in the past, but there are two aspects of this particular implementation that make it nice:
its programmatic interface for specifying the behavior of the various objects should make it fairly easy for a user of the framework to programmatically generate their dialogs
it handles the TAB problem without flickering, something I haven't seen in other attemps
This idea spawns out of conversation about the previous experiment -- thanks to those of you who posted on various forums, e-mailed me, or, in a couple cases, showed up at my desk. That last one is not something I'm encouraging unless you work at NI... just saying. :-)
Now, this experiement has already yeilded some interesting conversation. We note that as long as controls are instantiated independent of each other -- that is, no property of one control depends upon the property of another control -- this dialog system scales nicely. But in this experiment, I implemented Radio Buttons, which interact with each other -- when one is set True, the others go False. As soon as controls start interacting with each other (such as graying out one control when a checkbox is toggled, or having expandable sections, or really complex cases like updating a graph as some options change, like happens in some Express VI config dialogs) then we start needing ways to refer to the other controls. This rapidly moves us in one of two directions: naming controls or creating references. The naming approach is definitely my preference as it fits better with dataflow and I can do some interesting effects with breaking apart some of the tree. But all of this quickly starts sounding like "Please implement a XAML parser in LabVIEW." For those of you unfamiliar with XAML, in the world of UI design, it might very well be the coolest thing since sliced bread. A XAML string would indeed fit with dataflow, and we could start building that up. I hesitate to head down this road for two reasons. One, as many have noted, there's really not a good XML parsing library written in LabVIEW that can give me a useful DOM tree. Two, that's a huge project and my gut sense is that you'd have to complete a fairly large chunk of it before you'd start seeing any return on investment. But it is worth thinking about -- I might be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. This code that I've posted today can at least get you started on the generation side if one of you decides to become industrious.
I'm turning my attention away from this project for now... coding in G is lots of fun, and I wish I could spend more days doing it, but this has been a side project and it's time to get back to my assigned projects in text programming. Building a powerful platform for automatic UI generation in LabVIEW would be really useful -- I see lots of requests for this sort of thing, and other languages are pulling ahead of us in this domain.
[UPDATE 5/17/2012 - There is an improved version.]
Solved!

Thanks for posting this Aristos. I would normally be one of those to go bug you at your desk, but in case I'm not the only one with this question... which particular flickering problem are you referring to? The act of switching tabs? In all honesty, I've never noticed...
When you move controls around on the screen, normally you try to Defer Panel Updates while you do that. But Defer Panel Updates has an effect on control's abilities to catch certain mouse clicks, so when you're trying to move a control to catch the mouse, you have to work a lot without Defer Panel Updates, so if you're adjusting captions, etc, to match the new location, you can see flicker as properties adjust. You can move the control off-screen, as long as you have already updated the picture control to reflect the changes. It took a while to catch all the ways that the flickering can crop up. I think I got 'em all.
Attached are the VIs saved for LV 2009. Actually, they're saved for LV 8.6, but it doesn't work in 8.6 because of a bug in the picture control that existed back then.

I've never set Portuguese, so I really don't know what to tell you. It would be my presumption, though, that this sort of feature would be handled in the World-Ready Composers, but clearly there is either a bug or I'm mistaken, or both.
I would suggest you file a bug report at Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form, though I doubt there will be a fix.

When is it possible to have the same User Interface for all screensizes?

Hi all, i am final year student doing some research about User Interface Fragmentation on Mobile devices. As we already know, there are a huge variety of mobile screen sizes, and usually to provide users the best experience interfaces, we often have to customize the UI of one application in one phone to another. So i wondered when it is OK to have the same UI for all screen sizes?
Thanks.

It's usually OK if you don't use CustomItem, avoid extra-long Strings in titles etc. You might also need to scale any Canvas / GameCanvas graphics and Images using a scaling factor computed from the detected screen size.
I have 3 applications for free download from GetJar.com (search "Colorz") which have only the one version for all MIDP 2.0 devices, and there have been no complaints in a combined total of over 11,000 downloads ;-)
In any case, UI diversity is the least of the headaches any j2me developer faces, there are many features of j2me that are unimplemented or incorrectly implemented on various devices. Even the CLDC reference implementation has unaddressed bugs.
luck, db

Coldfusion dev installer wont work - "installer user interface mode not supported..."

i just downloaded the os x version of coldfusion 7 mx
developer edition (for the thrid time making sure the download
wasn't corrupt) and extracted the zip and launched the installer by
double-clicking it. the install screen pops up where it lets you
choose what language and i press ok. almost instantly i get an
error message to pop up that says... "Installer user interface mode
not supported. Unable to load and to prepare the installer in GUI
mode."
umm... what?!
does anyone have any idea what's going on and why the
installer is misbehaving?! thanks!
: : michael

and the answer for others stuck on this...
the problems is an installanywhere bug where if the anything
in the directory path contains special characters like "!" or "#" ,
it causes problems with the install. in my case, the directory path
had a "!" in it... hope this helps someone else out!

Hi Adrian,
Got the following when grepped through the web. You can give a try and see whether it works :
1) Open the report in the Builder. In the properties for the graphic image, change to the proper UNIX path. Also, ensure the .ogd file which is referenced is also placed in the proper UNIX directory, so that the new path is reflected accurately.
2) Ensure that your environment have the ORACLE_HOME set properly and then try re-linking with Graphics.
Thanks,

Master Detail Wizard and User Interface Defaults

Trying to create a master/detail form (on one page, no report).
1. Wizard is giving the option to use User Interface Defaults for the master table, but not for the detail (I don't want to for either) - is this the expected behaviour? If so, why the inconsistency? Will/can this be changed in the future?
2. Despite selecting NOT to use UI defaults, and entering new region titles, wizard is creating default region titles using the UI defaults. Is this a bug?
3. Supplementary: Is it possible to get rid of UI defaults?
HTML DB 1.6.0.00.87

I asked about this last month:
Master Detail Wizard and User Interface Defaults
with no response.
Anyone?

CS5/CS4 GUI User Interface Design

I have always been very unimpressed with the user interface design on Adobe CS4. It's riddled with problems and changes that make no sense and offer no advantages.
For example, there is no longer a normal Windows title bar in many of the CS4 apps. This makes it much more difficult to maximize/restore applications since normally a Windows user could simply throw the mouse to the top edge of the screen and double click the title bar. In fact, doing this with CS4 apps has ZERO function (it doesn't do anything). One would think that by moving the menu commands to the top bar of the window chrome, Adobe would make these menus accessible from the top-most edge of the screen in order to increase usability. Unfortunately this is not so and clicking the top most edge of a maximized window does nothing.
Two other very important parts of an application user interface are the upper left and upper right corners. Normally when a Windows application is maximized, throwing your pointer to the upper right corner and clicking will close the application. Throwing the pointer to the upper left corner and clicking will reveal the application window menu. This happens in ALL applications... EXCEPT for Adobe CS4 programs. These two extremely important application window command locations have been completely disabled in Adobe CS4 apps. Clicking the upper most corner pixels in a maximized Adobe CS4 app does nothing.
Then there's the tabbed document window interface. If you float a document window and maximize that, normally you would expect it to become maximized within the application window as it should. Au contraire, in Adobe CS4, the document window maximizes itself ON TOP OF the application window, thus obscuring and disabling any access to the application window's tools/commands. I did report that as a bug during beta, but obviously it was ignored. Seems kind of obvious to me that the fact that a user could accidentally make the entire application completely unusable by maximizing a document window might be a problem.
It still alludes me as to why Adobe changed the CS4 user interface to something that breaks so many Windows UI conventions. Adobe CS3 was a practically perfect user interface design on Windows. It was very customizable, all of the normal Windows functions were properly in place.
What's the deal with the change?
I thought maybe the file menu was moved in place of the title bar in order to make more room for other UI elements, but it's actually pretty much the same size as the old file menu title bar combination in CS3.
With all these changes and with all the functionality losses, what exactly have we gained in the CS4 GUI? Seriously, I'm asking.
Anyway, I hope Adobe starts reading the Windows User Experience Guidelines (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511331.aspx) and brings CS5 back to the way a Windows application should behave. Proper theme adherence would be nice too.
Which brings me to Windows 7. I love love love the way Windows 7 groups application document previews in one taskbar icon and allows aero-peek for open windows. Adobe CS 4 obviously does not support this since it does not have normal document windows. I hope CS5 does because it is a great feature. I also hope Adobe CS5 implements the Windows 7 jumplists and maybe even a more touch/multi-touch friendly interface. I've become pretty good at processing photos in Bridge using the touchscreen, and it's very cool, but it could use some improvements.
For an example of great user interface design, has anyone tried Office 2010 on Windows 7 yet? http://www.istartedsomething.com/20090512/screencaps-office-2010-technical-preview-teched- 2009-keynote/
The faded transparent title bar and tabbed ribbon interface is absolutely gorgeous.

@Adam:
I agree with your comments! So well said!
And there are other issues, too -- by the color of the app window, you don't know if the window is active or inactive (focus or not in focus). Titles of panels which are inactive, are dark text over dark background -- hardly readable at all... And many more.
I really hope Adobe are listening...

Re: Explorer like user interface

Re: Explorer like user interface
You'll want to use the geometry management features in Forte.
These can be controlled using the WidthPolicy and HeightPolicy
attributes on FieldWidget (see p 160 of the Display Library manual).
You can set these in your code, or using the 'Size Policy' dialog
off the widget property sheet.
Do the following:
Create a Window class, get into the Window Workshop.
In the Window property sheet, set the Window Style to Resizable,
set Autosize Enabled.
Create your TreeView and ListView, group them into a GridField.
In the TreeView and ListView Property Sheets, under Size Policy,
set the Width Policy and the Height Policy to Parent for both
the ListView and TreeView. Also set a minimum size for each (in mils)
the minimum size will prevent you from getting too small a window.
For the GridField, also set the WidthPolicy and HeightPolicy to Parent.
You may also want top set the Column Weight to the ratio you want for
the sizing of the Tree and List, say 2:3.
Now the sizing will work. You'll just have to write the code
to get data in you TreeView and ListView. Looking at
the examples for outline field:
$FORTE_ROOT/install/examples/display/soutline.pex
is a good place to start, if you haven't done it before.
Good luck!

Hi,
I would like to design a window which is similar to Windows Explorer.
Treeview in the left side, listview in the right side. I should be
able to drag and expand the size of the treeview. How is this possible
in Forte? I tried to use STATE attribute of widgets, but did not
succeed. Could anyone suggest me how to go about it.
Thanks in advance,

Just to complete, here is a little sample in R3.F.2.0 done with
Treeview and listView.
Be aware that to give the user the possibility to resize the left
part, you should manage it yourself. If you use an outlinefield
instead, you can put WidthPolicy to seleted and then use FS_ROUTE
state to enable the user to resize it. But this occurs a bug with the
resize of the window. If you try this with the treeview, it will
be converted to FS_SELECTONLY which is nonsense here.
Also, don't forget that ListView only does Ascending Sort (Microsoft
does Ascending and Descending). So you should need to manage sort
yourself too.
Hope this helps,

SLOW Xbench User Interface Test

Hi all,
MBP early 2008 2.5GHz, 2GB RAM, 250GB HD (130GB free), 10.5.7 and all updates.
Since I got this machine, it has not seemed any faster than my 867MHz TiBook running Tiger. Today I ran Xbench twice and it showed an extremely low User Interface Test result (12.91 at 59.25 refresh/sec).
I know Xbench hasn't been updated for awhile, but looking at a few other Intel Mac scores, I didn't see any scores even close to this one.
So, has anyone else run Xbench? Anyone care to give it a try and report results on that part of the test?
Thanks
(PS I've run all the maintenance I can think of, checked Activity Monitor, etc etc etc. Next step is to reinstall OS, but rather not if there's anything more to learn about this first.)
(PSS First run I had Time Machine turned on and external FW HD connected, so disconnected that. Also, just remembered I am running File Vault, and wondering if that's the culprit.)

no idea...
but try to disable filevault...
If you want to dream on the old days and to see what Apple don't want us to use now, make a ram disk (it will not be consistent after a reboot, as Apple prevent it... )
try to run a xbench on it...
yes, 908 ...
try to run your hardisk benchmark.
yes, only 27 or a little more...
So, what all the buzz around with flash disk is just bullsh.t, as , since 1995 at least, Apple made RAM disk, and BOOTABLE until the G3...
I'm quite sure that we could have a 400 % more quick os X sytem if we could run it on Ram disk...
I used it for second life, as browsers can have another cache location (or, I didn't find how to do it)
it's about 20 % faster, and it is not shocking the hard disk, as the more you write and erase, the more your disk work.
Sorry to be a little of topic, but a Xbench thread could be good in that 'using your mac book pro , original" just to see how we can speed it a little bit, or not
(I use "Make RAM Disk 1.0", no bug , on 10.4.11)
