Mouse loses control when resizing columns in TFS

I work actively on Team Foundation Server and always noticed that when I click the mouse to drag or re-size a column in a table inside a work item, it does not work. The column keeps getting re-sized even after releasing the mouse. When i move the mouse to a different part of the screen also, the column keeps getting dragged. This is very annoying. This does not happen on other browsers. So I am assuming, its not a TFS problem.

When your mouse pointer is over a movable area, the mouse pointer should turn into a double-arrow. If you notice that after dragging and releasing the mouse, the mouse pointer ''stays'' a double arrow, try positioning the mouse pointer where you want the new boundary and click again. The mouse pointer should change back to a standard pointer.
Does that work?
(This suggestion is based on behavior I've seen with some Infragistics ASP.Net controls in IE8.)

MOUSE Loses Power When SCROLL WHEEL is used, power back up when CLICK SCROLL WHEEL. FRUSTRATING.

Whenever I scroll using the scroll wheel with this Belkin USB MOUSE my mouse loses POWER and becomes unresponsive. It only regains power when the SCROLL WHEEL IS CLICKED. It works perfectly on other hardware so I know that it's this TOSHIBA LAPTOP or an UPDATE thatis the PROBLEM. I do NOT use the touchpad because they are inferior to mice when working with graphics. Is there some kind of conflict here? How do I PERMANENTLY disable the touchpad--it's completely and utterly useless to me compared to a mouse and just makes me angry and I really want to be able to use the scroll wheel on the MOUSE without it turning on and off and on and off and on and off. This is a very recent issue that hasn't plagued me until recently maybe within a week or two. Note when this happens it flips between the synaptics touchpad and the mouse for CURRENT SELECTED INPUT DEVICE, regardless of WHETHER OR NOT I have it set to disable touchpad when usb device is plugged in, so I don't need to try that step. Thanks!

I haven't heard of the scroll wheel issue anywhere else (mine is fine), but the blank picture issue is known.
Myself and many others have experienced it, definitely a software bug.

When resizing columns in JTable the last columns disappear

I have a problem. I created a JTable and I set the AutoResizeMode to AUTO_RESIZE_NEXT_COLUMN in order for the columns to fill the whole panel. I added the table to a JScrollPane. when I resize the columns, the other columns start to adjust in size to fit the data grid, but it gets to a point where the columns scroll out view. is there a way to stop the other columns from moving when I resize one of the columns. I dont want the horizontal bars to show.

Why table getWidth and setWidth is not working when resize column the table

hi all,

hi,
thanks for your replay,
yes i know that, you can check the following code it works fine.
actually what i want is, when i resize table column it shold not automaticaly reszie when table resized and i dont want horizontal scroll bar, meaning that all table columns should resize with in the table size(say width 300)
if i make table autoresize off than horizontal scroll bar will appear and the other columns moved and i want scroll to view other columns.
please suggest me some way doing it, i tried with doLayout() no help,
doLayout() method only can be used when table resizes. first off all i want to restrict table resizing with in the limited size

Quirky date changes when resizing columns

I have a new eMac, when I make the date modified and date created columns small, the date goes to 7/31/05 for all files.
When I expand the columns then the dates change to this format Nov 7, 2005 9:00pm. This happens on both the "date modified" and "date created" columns. But the some dates don't reflect the actual date of creation or modification.
I also noticed that when I download files, the modified and created dates don't reflect the actual date I downloaded them. Some items I have downloaded recently, have 2003, 2002, 2000 dates associated with them.
On my G3, all downloads would reflect the actual date download for the modified and created date. Is this not the case with the eMac?
Could it need a battery this soon?
Thank you in advance,
Deb
Update:
I just ran System Profiler and up in the top right hand corner the date says 7/31/05.

Hi JMVP, thanks for replying.
I'm running the org 8.5 on the G3 but have 9.0, 9.2 and 9.22 on my external hd's.
Yes set date automatically is checked. I tried unchecking it and nothing changed.
Timeserver is Apple America/US (time.apple.com)
My biggest concern is why are all the dates changing to 7/31/05 (style, format and using the actual date of 7/31/05) when I squeeze the column width down. But once I start expanding the columns the dates change to, what I'm assuming is the date of their creation and modification, and not the downloaded date.
This may be a stupid question, but what is a relative date, compared to, what a normal date? Every time I check or uncheck this box the dates don't change format, style or anything.
Thanks again for your help.

I have a mac book pro and i seem to lose control over my mouse while I'm surfing the web. Is it a virus? and what do i do?

I have a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.7.5 on it. When I'm connected to WIFI I sometimes lose control over my trackpad, even though I may not be surfing the web on safari. Is there a virus on my computer or is there something wrong with my track pad. Ive only had the computer for about 3 months.

It's not a virus, and it's also not a hacker unless a friend or relative with access to your machine is playing a prank on you. As to what it is, there are a number of possibilities. See:
My mouse keeps moving around on its own, as if someone is remotely controlling my Mac!

My mac seems to be frozen on an internet page. I cant force quit. I can't control+options+command+esc. I can't access my activity monitor. I can see my mouse moving but when I click on anything, it doesn't seem to engage or recognize it. Fix?

Thank you. There is a bigger issue. It is not the web page that is the problem. It is that I can see my mouse moving and can move it along the bottom toolbar and the options will highlight but I can't click on anything. I can see the apple icon to get to force quit but cant click on it.
I used your suggestion and force quit came up but I can't select the option to force quit... not even with my arrows and enter/return key. Any other thoughts?
Thank you.

Table Autofit - Fixed Column Width not actually fixed when resize viewing window

Using RoboHelp x8.0.2.208
Generating HTML help (CHM)
Set the Autofit property for a table as Fixed Column Width
Generate the CHM file
The table starts as the size specified
If I resize the width of the HTML help viewer, the column width shrinks
I tested generating this project as WebHelp with the same results
I also went into the Table Properties and specified a Preferred Width for the overall table and for each column.
I thought this option would set the size of the table based on how I sized it in source and would not resize the table as the viewing window is resized (either the HTML help viewer for CHM or the web browser window for WebHelp).
It appears the actual behavior is to start at the size specified and resize columns as the viewing window is resized.
Can someone tell me if I am not setting something correctly?
As always, thanks for any assistance/direction.
Michael F Weart

The "Autofit" option apparently only applies to the Window size you have specified.
Once you reduce the window size, the HTML table protocol takes over:
WARNING, WARNING, WARNING!
I need "this much" space for the widest element in column 1, and I don't care what your settings are.
Next, I need "this much" space for the widest element in column 2, and I don't care what your settings are.
Next, I need "this much" space for the widest element in column 3, and I don't care what your settings are.
Next, I need "this much" space for the widest element in column 4, and I don't care what your settings are.
etc.
etc.
By "widest element," I mean either an image or the longest text string with no separating spaces (ex: SYSTEM_DIAGNOSTICS_PARAMETER_EXTERNAL_ISSUER).
If you absolutely have to maintain the table the way you want, you might try creating it in a scrap topic, taking a screenshot, and saving that as a GIF file.
Good luck,
Leon

Broken: Copy & Resizable Columns

In iTunes store I used to be able to copy track information by selecting a track and typing cmd-C. This was useful for a number of reasons, the two most used by me were correcting ripped CD information quickly -- particularly with classical tracks where the titles and track names have no real quality control -- to make it match the iTunes database (that makes getting cover information much easier); and sending information to people (including Apple support) in emails.
Now I can't do that. This would be a minor inconvenience were it not for the disappearance of resizable columns. Before, a work around would be to open the CD information in a separate window, rearrange my windows so that I can see everything, and simply eyeball everything (I can touch type so while that's a hassle, it wasn't impossible).
Unfortunately, that doesn't work now either. The columns are fixed in width meaning many classical tracks have long titles that start with the same text (like Symphony No. 3 "Poem of Ecstasy" or "Concerto for Two Violins and Orchestra") that runs over into the non-visible part of the column. The only way to read the entirety of what's there is to hover the mouse over the visible text. This is impossible to do while typing in another window because it only works while the store window is active.
Thanks, Apple. You've opted for style over substance again, only this time it doesn't work.

Byron,
I think I have a better answer for you.
When you are on the Home screen of the iTunes Store click the Browse in the QuickLinks on the upper right of the screen.
You will then be switched into the conventional iTunes bowser where I think you'll find you can copy and paste track information as you have in the past.
Give it a try.

How to change the background of the StackPanel control when any child element has focus?

Hello folks!
I need to change the background of the StackPanel control when any element within the StackPanel has focus. I am executing the code snippet below. The code works fine with elements within the Grid control named "main". It doesn't work when I focus
an element within the Grid control named "header".
<StackPanel x:Name="techReportStackPanel" Width="250" Background="{Binding ColorBrush}" >
<StackPanel.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type StackPanel}">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=techReportStackPanel, Path=IsKeyboardFocusWithin}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Gray" />
<Setter Property="Opacity" Value=".5" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</StackPanel.Style>
<Grid x:Name="header">
<TextBlock x:Name="headerColumn" Text="{Binding Name}" Style="{StaticResource ColumHeader}"/>
<Button Visibility="{Binding ElementName=headerColumn, Path=Text, Converter={StaticResource delButtonVisibilityConverter}}" Command="{Binding DelCommand}" Content="x" ToolTip="{l:Translate TechReportDeleteToolTip}"/>
</Grid>
<Grid x:Name="main">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<wpftoolkit:WatermarkTextBox Grid.Column="0" Style="{StaticResource OrdinaryTextbox}" Watermark="{l:Translate LengthLabel}" ToolTip="{l:Translate BoreholeSpacingInRow}" Text="{Binding BoreholeSpacingInRow, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, StringFormat=F2, Converter={StaticResource zeroToEmptyDoubleConverter}}" />
<wpftoolkit:WatermarkTextBox Grid.Column="1" Style="{StaticResource OrdinaryTextbox}" Watermark="{l:Translate WidthLabel}" ToolTip="{l:Translate BoreholeSpacingBetweenRow}" Text="{Binding BoreholeSpacingBetweenRow, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, StringFormat=F2, Converter={StaticResource zeroToEmptyDoubleConverter}}" />
</Grid>
</StackPanel>
Any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

>>It doesn't work when I focus an element within the Grid control named "header".
You mean when the Button in the "header" Grid is focused? A TextBlock is not focusable so when the Button is not visible no element in the "header" Grid will be focused since you only have two elements in the "header" Grid.
But when the Button is visible it should work. Please refer to the following code:
<StackPanel x:Name="techReportStackPanel" Width="250" Background="{Binding ColorBrush}" >
<StackPanel.Style>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type StackPanel}">
<Style.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=techReportStackPanel, Path=IsKeyboardFocusWithin}" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Gray" />
<Setter Property="Opacity" Value=".5" />
</DataTrigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</StackPanel.Style>
<Grid x:Name="header">
<TextBlock Text="text..."/>
<Button Visibility="Visible" Content="Button" />
</Grid>
<Grid x:Name="main">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBox Grid.Column="0">main grid...</TextBox>
<TextBox Grid.Column="1">main grid...</TextBox>
</Grid>
</StackPanel>
When the Button is focused the Background colour of the StackPanel is set to Gray as expected.
If you want to be able to focus the TextBlock you should set its Focusable property to true:
<Grid x:Name="header">
<TextBlock Focusable="True" x:Name="headerColumn" Text="{Binding Name}" Style="{StaticResource ColumHeader}"/>
<Button Visibility="{Binding ElementName=headerColumn, Path=Text, Converter={StaticResource delButtonVisibilityConverter}}" Command="{Binding DelCommand}" Content="x" ToolTip="{l:Translate TechReportDeleteToolTip}"/>
</Grid>
Hpoe that helps.

My Magic Mouse Loses Connection Every Single Minor Tap

My Magic Mouse tends to lose its connection whenever I give it a tap on the table. I mean, it's normal right, when you lift the mouse a little bit and tap it to the surface to give the pointer a little more distance like browsing the web or playing a computer game. My Magic Mouse seems to lose its connection everytime it gets a minor tap on the table and no, I don't slam it hard.
It's not a battery problem since I change them frequently so I'm guessing it's either the hardware problem or the Bluetooth problem. Any idea what's causing this?

Actually I believe it is a battery problem. Specifically, not all batteries are created equally and vary from brand to brand so with the tolerances as tight as they apparently are in (or are not) in the MM the positive terminal does not always make contact with the MM terminal.
Based on other posts in these forums the positive terminal varies slightly among brands. Some are higher than others. It's a minor amount but it appears to be enough.
I've seen this with my neighbor's MM. Brand new batteries (forget the brand at the moment) yet I could shake the MM and have it make and break contact. On the other hand I don't have the problem with my Sayno Eneloop rechargeables.
You might try inserting a small piece of paper or aluminum foil to take up the gap.
Another possibility is that the contacts are corroded so try to clean them a little.

Resizing columns in iTunes 10

I've noticed some strange behavior in iTunes 10 regarding the resizing of displayed columns in List view. It appears that I can resize any displayed column in my main library, with exception to the immovable 1st column (the "currently playing or paused" column) or the checkmark column. This is fine.
The problem comes when I try to resize columns on an attached iPod. I can resize some columns, but not all ... that makes no sense! For instance, with my current settings, the optional displayed list view columns for my iPod are (currently in this order):Artist, Track #, Time, Album, Date Added, Size, Kind, Bit Rate, and Rating. In addition to these, there are the 3 default columns: the song order/play status column, and the Name column. I can't resize any of the default columns, nor can I resize these columns: Date Added, Kind, Rating, or Size.
Also, you should be able to resize the columns in the Column Browser, but you can't do that in either the main library OR an iPod library.

While viewing your iPod Library, try opening View Options (on my Mac, it's Cmd-J). Uncheck the columns you can't resize, and click OK. Those columns should disappear. Open View Options again, and recheck them. See if you are now able to resize them. This procedure worked for me on iTunes 9.2.1.

Authorization control when fetching data from PA OM tables

Hi all,
I want to know how to control DB level authorization using HR_READ_INFOTYPE and RP_READ_INFOTYPE. Taht is, i want to check whetehr the user who is executing a report is having read authorization for that infotype. If not, i should not fetch the data and the report should return error message?
Instead of authorization (std, custom) object, i want to control when fetching data from PA and OM tables in HR. How to achieve the same?

As EJP said, your query might have problem with the using clause. Post your query.
It gives an exception when I try to run the query, and I'm trying to fetch all columns not only 'taskid'
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-25154: column part of USING clause cannot have qualifier
Yes, with the exact sql query he posted. It gives that exception.I guess you are trying to fetch all the columns by using the above query which i posted. No you should not fetch all the columns. Because the rs will only the three columns.
Also, use 'as' with that query like,
select t1.taskid as t1_taskid, t2.taskid as t2_taskid ,t3.taskid as t3_taskid from...Edited by: Ram on Aug 23, 2011 6:20 PM

Can't resize column to fit text

Can't resize column to fit text in numbers. option is "grayed-out" no matter what I do

It is either a glitch or a rather unfun new thing. No one knows for sure. You do have a bit more control if you go into your photos app, find your photo and tap on the little box with the arrow poking out of it. That allows you to send it to be wallpaper. You can do some scaling, although not as much as you used to.
Finding work arounds is about all you can do until it's fixed.
