Mouse events don't work on a button from a panel ran in a DLL

Hi.
I have a DLL that loads a panel.
Since it's a DLL I can't do the RunUserInterface() function, because the DLL would be stuck waiting for the panel events.
I only do the LoadPanel().
When I click with the mouse on one of the buttons, the pushing down event (simulating the button being pressed) doesn't happen and the callback doesn't run.
But if I press the tab button until the focus reaches the button and press Enter, the callback of the button is executed.
An even more interesting aspect is that this happens when I call the DLL on TestStand, but on an application of mine that calls the DLL just for debug everything works fine.
How can I enable the mouse events?
Thanks for your help.

Hello Daniel,
I got surprised when I read your post, because I am experiencing something almost the same as you do.
I have a DLL (generated by an .fp instrument driver I wrote) which performs continious TCP communication with the UUT.
It starts 2 threads, each for reading from one of the 2 different IPs the UUT has.
Another DLL tests this UUT (with the help of the communication DLL above) by exporting functions to be called by TestStand steps.
If the second DLL wants to display a CVI panel in order to wait for the user response or displays a popup (MessagePopup, ConfirmPopup, etc), user cannot press the buttons.
Actually, there is a point your program and mine differ. I call RunUserInterface and the button's callbacks call QuitUserInterface, so the execution continues after a button is pressed. The problem is buttons cannot be pressed. I also tried looping on GetUserEvent but it did not solve the problem.
There are 2 findings:
1. I had a small exe to test my instrument driver DLL and the popups in it worked pretty well (this coincides with Daniel's findings).
2. We workedaround the problem by shutting down the communication threads in the instrument driver DLL before the popup appears and restrating them afterwards. Although they are separate threads in another DLL, they were somehow blocking user events on another DLL running.

In Logic Pro or Pro X Meta Events don't work correctly; for example inserting Stop Playback number 52 in a specific position the playhead stops wrongly several ticks before. Then the button play does not start.

Curious if what your describing is similar to issue 4 which starts around 9:15 in video...

If so this started for me, or at least I noticed it for the first time in LPX 10.1.1. What version of logic are you running?
I've recently found that this issue also affects note timing on instrument tracks that use the "External Instrument" plugin.

Mouse clicks don't work

I have set up a menu with auto action buttons and for some reason mouse clicks don't work. I can click multiple times on a button without anything happening. However, navigating with arrows on the keyboard works fine.
Is there anyway I can enable my mouse to work.

Hi,
Are you testing your DVD in DVDSP simulator? If som try building the disc in your hard drive and test runing the VIDEO_TS folder with DVD player to check if the issue is there too.

Windows 7 mouse gestures don't work with DW and FW

I discovered that the mouse gestures don't work with Dreamweaver CS4 and Fireworks CS4 windows. When I drag a window to the right or left, nothing happen. The gestures words fine with all other programs, even Adobe programs like Photoshop or Lightroom. Can anyone help?

Thanks Robb. I tried those options but it didn't work, but I'm posting here the final resolution in case anyone else encounters the issue.
I had the local desktop support check out his PC and it turns out that the Windows 7 screen resolution was causing the issue. The only reason it was caught is because his desktop sharing software also was not working correctly.
Within the display settings Windows 7 allows you to display text/icons larger without changing the resolution. The user's display was set at 150%. After changing to 100% (default) the desktop sharing and Essbase double clicking are working.

Keyboard and Mouse pad don't work.

Can anyone help me? I figured I should come here before bringing it to a shop.
I have upgarded my ram from 2gigs to 4gigs with Crucial ram.
Though regardless if I have the new ram or old ram in, my keyboard and mouse pad don't work. There were occasions before when the keyboard would lock up for a short while, but I have no idea what's causing this.
My only thought would be that sometimes my computer would get unusually hot, but i just turn it off when that happens.
Everything else works fine, the USB ports work with keyboards and mouse's, the power chord works fine, there seems nothing wrong with the battery or display.
Thanks you for any help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Has your keyboard and mouse quit working altogether or just when the computer is hot? And do I understand that an external keyboard and mouse will work with no problems?
And I am wondering about your computer running unusually hot. Are your fans operating properly? You might want to run the extended version of the Apple Hardware test to be sure that the fans and thermal sensors are working properly. If they are not, you will get one or more error codes.
Another thing to do to check when your Mac is unusually hot is the Activity Monitor. Select "All Processes" at the top right and check for any process running that should not be which is using lots of CPU.
I don't know if the keyboard problem is related to the heat problem or not, but I would want to know what is causing the heat problem too. Over time, excessive heat can cause damage to the logic board. It could also conceivably damage the ribbon cable which connects the keyboard and I would guess that the trackpad could also be affected. So it is important to see what is going on here. If you have been experiencing excessive heat on a regular basis, this might be the underlying cause of your keyboard and trackpad problems. If so, the heat problem will have to be fixed or the other problem will recur over time.
Try the AHT and post back with any results. Also, use iStatPro to check on your fans and make sure both are running at roughly equal speeds and that they run faster when the computer gets hot.
Good luck!

Touch events don't work on an actual device?

I'm posting here because I'm not sure where else to put it.
I have a (semi) functioning prototype of an app and am trying to test it on an iPad.
But when I export and install the ipa on my iPad through iTunes and Launch, most of the functionality is gone. In fact, all that happens is my buttons light up. Nothing does anything else.
I'm (hoping) I'm just missing something simple like a publish setting wrong.
Player: AIR for iOS
Script: Actionscript 3.0
Included .swf, .xml, and all relevant .as class files
Published using quick publish for device testing
And that's it. I opened the .ipa in iTunes and synced. And nothing works.
What am I doing wrong?

I am going to copy and paste this answer into all of the forums I've asked this question in case some noob like me comes along and needs the answer.
I found the problem! After 3 months I finally figured out what was wrong and why my app was working in Device Central when exported as Flash 10.1 and not on my iPad when exported as AIR for iOS.
The problem is that in the Flash runtime, if a line of code returns a bug, the flash runtime says "Error, shmerror, try again next time." So I had one if, else statement that was executing when it wasn't supposed to be - only once, at the very beginning of the program. It was throwing an error. When I exported as Flash, flash didn't care, and still executed the code later when it was supposed to. But Apple won't let their programs crash. So instead of just trying that code again, Apple decided, after the first error was thrown, that it would then COMPLETELY IGNORE that line of code. So the error was in the line where the states would unhighlight themselves. Apple just shut down that line of code, that's why it wouldn't execute properly.
I ended up changing this line of code
if (lastObjOver != null && lastObjOver.isLocked == true)
which threw an error when the piece was FIRST dragged over the puzzle, to to this
if (lastObjOver.parent != null && lastObjOver.isLocked == true)
which wouldn't throw the error.
Problem solved!
If anyone else is having this problem, I suggest you do what I did. Change all your touch events to mouse events so you can run the program in the adc debugger. That's when I discovered the error being thrown.

Keyboard and mouse randomly don't work after boot

Hello there, I have been having a problem lately with the keyboard. Some times after the booting process it doesn't work, forcing me to restart my laptop even 3 or 4 times before getting it to work properly.
Here is the keyboard boot process. wich has actually a problem that I can't understand clearly.
dmesg |grep keyboard

I noticed this error during the boot preocess, how should it be interpreted?
I'm sure in the kernel, the device atkbd is selected.

Enh. COPA0003 don't work when clicking button "profit. segment " of FB70

Hi all,
I would like to use the Enhancement COPA0003 to populate some characteristics in screen "Assignment to a profitability segment" of transaction FB70.
I have activated this Enhancement, and i have put a break point in the function EXIT_SAPLKEAK_001 of COPA0003.
But when i click on the button "profit. segment " of FB70, the debug isn't executed, it means this enhancement don't work.
Anyone know how we do to activate this enhancement in FB70 (FB01, FB02 too)? if I'm missing other setting for COPA0003 before it's activating in SMOD/CMOD?
Thank a lot in advance,
Vinh Vo

If the posting is done in batch (or triggered by workflow) function module
EXIT_SAPLKEAK_001 is not run. From release 5.00 on characteristic groups are indeed not considered any more during batch input processes because
there were problems before with initial chars of a CO-PA line item
resulting from a batch input process that actually shouldn't be initial.
Please take a look at the sap note 581739 (implemented in standard with 5.00)
that put an end to usage of char groups during batch input processes.

Mouse functions don't work

my mouse functions have stopped working! It doesn't matter what mouse I use - wireless or wired - these are the problems: I cannot click on anything to open or close it. I cannot click on a application on my dock and open it. I cannot drag a file or document on my desktop. I see the cursor moving around the desktop, but it has no effect.
No solution has worked and I've tried many of them.
Help!!

I restarted my laptop, and the buttons worked! For only 2 minutes. Then nada ever again. What a POS. Come on HP, give a solution. I bought and returned it twice, which makes this my third wifi mouse. What a waste of my time. I think I'm just gonna return this mouse and forget the wifi mouse. Functionality is more important than a freed up USB port. I bought it for the forward/backward buttons specifically. HP used to make wonderful products, but this experience bring that into question now.

Streamed events don't work: Timed Out message

I know I've posted a message here on this subject, so please forgive me.
The problem I've got is that my admin account can't successfully see any of the Apple webcasts. Quicktime launches and goes through a negotiation process but then just times out. Changing the streaming protocol to HTTP80 doesn't work, when this is selected I simply get "connection failed".
The odd thing is that a standard user account that I'd previously set up on the computer works like a charm, no problems at all. So, what's up do you think?
The even odder thing is, if I now add another user account to the machine then the behaviours of the new account match that of my main admin account. ie, Quicktime webcasts don't work.
I've tried the deleting the webplugin but that has had little or no positive effect.
Any advice is very welcome, short of re-installing my system (which I'm almost tempted to do!!)
Best regards

*A few suggestions:*
Repair permissions & restart your computer.
Check your QT MIME Settings.
System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced
Click on the MIME Settings button.
In the next window that opens up make sure that Streaming-Streaming movies is enabled (checked).
While you’re at it make sure all the boxes are enabled by clicking on the corresponding triangles so that they are pointed down.
This will show the “hidden” boxes especially the Video box. This box will enable you to play .avi files.
Click the OK button.
Now click Streaming
Your settings you should be (as starters):
Streaming Speed: Automatic
Make sure Enable Instant-On is enabled (checked).
Now click on Browser
Make sure:
Play movies automatically
Save movies in disk cache
Are both enabled.
Movie download Cache Size: Slider set all the way to the left.
Restart your computer.
Consider updating your OS to the last & latest Tiger version - 10.4.11 along with all other updates that goes with it from the Software Update control panel.

MSI NEO4 Platinum - Upgrade to bios 1.5 - ps2 mouse connector don't work

I've upgraded just today the bios of my NEO4 to the ver. 1.5. At reboot, i've set all bios parameters like they were before upgrade; now the mouse, if connected to the ps2 with an adaptor for usb mouse, don't work at all. Previously it was connected in the same way and the system was running with ver. 1.1 bios.

Have you tried just connecting the mouse to the USB port? Tried all ports? Tried a regular PS2 mouse just to test?
Did you look for any new settings that may have been added since the1.1 BIOS, Did you take notes?
Did you look for any hidden BIOS features?
Perhaps the settings you used previously just don't work the same way or may behave differently (perhaps like they are supposed to)
Maybe a setting you didn't consider before is now necessary since the upgrade.
Nothing is ever black and white with this stuff, my point is, leave no stone unturned...that should keep you busy in the interim until someone likely comes up with a better solution or suggestion.

10.6.8 Can I assign mouse events such as double-click right button to a keystroke?

I have an old Windows program (Click Tricks) that monitors for combinations of mouse events to trigger a keystroke shortcut.
I am able to use this application while running Windows/Parrallels but there must be an ellegant OSX way to do this.
Loyd.

Thanks so much for your response
I reset printer systems, and was only able to add Canon MG6200 series, either with Bonjour or Canon IJ Network, but cannot find the correct printer software for MG6250 (there is no option for any Canon MG printers) the only choice is Generic PostScript Printer.
I have tried using this, but the print job is not going to the printer itself, it appears that it is, but then under the canon print box, it simply dissappears.
Paul_31
At this point is the printer connected to the Mac via a USB cable?
Do you think that I should attach the printer with the old usb cable from my previous printer and try that appears to defeat the purpose of having a wifi printer Or will this simply allow the computer to find the printer and then I can remove the cable? Thanks

Can't use mouse cursor to select windows buttons from XFCE panel

The problem is weird but the behaviour is as follow: let say I have sultiple copies of the same software (Firefox, for instance) or when the software has multiple windows (for example Pidgin main windows and its other chat windows). Wwhen I try to click on the windows button on the panel in order to navigate to the window of such software, it won't work. nothing would happen. On the other hand, Alt+Tab works for switching to the desired windows. However, if the software only has one window running (for example, only one Firefox window) then the mouse click would work.
It's a strange behaviour and I got this on both my PC which runs Arch 64 bit and my laptops with Arch.
Anyone has the same problem?

Inxsible wrote:Do you have conky running -- maybe that's covering the panel and eating up the mouse click events. Try killing conky and see if it works.
Nope, thx Inxsible but conky's not running here.
Right-click menu (minimize, maximize, etc...) works for each of the multiple entries, though.
I just tried recompiling xfce4-panel 4.8.2-1 with no apparent error message or any change in behaviour... hm...
[Edit] It seems like a bug's already been filed: http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7383

Bookmarks exist but don't work in PDF (exported from InDesign)

Hi all,
I had a similar problem a few months ago where SOME cross-references within a document weren't taking you to the right place when exported to PDF although they appeared to work fine in InDesign (the "source" and "destination" arrows took you to the right place). Someone suggested exporting the file to IDML and importing again, which worked fine.
Now I'm working on the same document (an update) but it's grown a bit and so each chapter is in its own file within a book. Problem is similar but not the same. Some cross-references work fine in the generated PDF, others are recognised as being links (cursor changes) but NO effect when clicking on them... not taking me to the wrong place, nothing is happening at all. ALSO the table of contents AND the bookmarks don't work.
I've exported each chapter to IDML, recreated the InDesign files and recreated the book, but still no joy. If all else fails, I'll put the book back into a single file but I'd rather not go through this pain each time I have to update the book (especially as this latest change was really tiny).
Any suggestions? Are cross-references between files in a book known to be problematic? And if they are, has the problem been addressed for CS5.5? (I'm looking to use InDesign for a journal that will contain a lot of links between elements, but the turnaround time is tight and I'm wary of this issue being a problem each month.)
Currently using CS5 on Windows 7 Professional, and Acrobat 9 Pro Extended was installed as part of the Tech Comm Suite.
Thanks in advance,
Alison

This is so funny...I was just about to close my email and look up the
Forums to profusely thank the person who posted the solution to a similar
problem I was having in CS4. I'd created numerous hyperlinks in Indesign
documents and sometimes the links worked in a pdf, and sometimes not. The
problem solver was talking about a solution in Word, but I found the same
type of text in the PDF settings box that pops up when you want to save the
pdf. There are all kinds of checkboxes and I'd thought I was doing enough
by checking 'add hyperlinks'...but the advisor said you have to make sure
'tagged PDF' is CLEAR. So the same thing will probably work for you with
your bookmarks! (...if the settings are similar in CS5 of course, and
there's no reason they shouldn't be. I guess.)
The only thing is, there's a lot of what we call 'ant work' ahead of me. I
have to go back to each InDesign doc and retype the text in the home font,
and create the hyperlinks over again. Luckily, the hyperlink destinations
are still there. It's not enough just to export the document again with
the Tagged checkbox cleared, and you can't create a new hyperlink over an
old one; the 'new hyperlink' option isn't available under Interactive. So
you may have the same problem.
Let me know if this works! I'm off to thank the person...
