Navigation pane disappears when the focus is changed

I using Robohelp 7.01.001 and am generating a Microsoft HTML Help (Primary Layout). When I open up the CHM file everything looks fine, but when I change the focus off of the Help file the navigation pane hides. Is there a setting to always show the navigation pane?

Welcome to our community
If you edit your Window definition you should see an option labeled Auto-show/hide Nav Pane.
If this option is enabled, clear it and you should be golden. If it's not enabled, enable it and click OK. Then disable it and click OK.
If the steps listed earlier don't seem to resolve the issue, perhaps try creating a new window and defining that as the window for your CHM file.
Cheers... Rick

Navigation Pane disappearing after installation of KB2850064

I have Outlook 2013 professional plus 32 bit.
once KB2850064(32 bit edition) update installed on system, Navigation Pane disappears and it reappears only if it is uninstalled.
I am facing this issue since Jan 16, 2014 update.
Any solution for this is appreciated.

Hi,
Have you updated Office 2013 to SP1?
I've seen this issue that KB2850064 caused the Navigation Pane to disappear, and a recent hotfix should have fixed the problem. When SP1 is installed, the problem should be gone.

How do I quickly update the ActiveX automation references in my VIs when the ActiveX interface changes?

Hello all,
I joined a test automation team in the middle of a large project and
inherited a huge set of VIs (over 700) and associated architecture for
this automation (not to mention the several thousand TestStand
sequences). Another part of the project is being developed by our
customer, who is using VB 6.0 to create ActiveX components which we
need to use in LabView to access their hardware. They've already
invested a large amount of time developing these ActiveX components,
and they are not finished -- meaning the ActiveX interfaces will be
changing. Every time they send updated ActiveX components, I have to
re-write many, many VIs including updating a couple strict typdefs.
This process takes way too much time and is mind-numbing and prone to
error or omission.
Unfortunately I can't post any of the VIs because of a NDA. But
perhaps a bit more detailed explanation would help. TestStand calls a
VI to open and get an ActiveX reference for automation (which it stores
in a variant). It will pass this reference into any VI it calls to
perform specific functions through this ActiveX interface. For
example, one VI that may be called passes this automation refnum into
another, which passes it to another, which passes it into another to
get the actual ActiveX reference stored in that variant (through a
Variant To Data call with a strict typedef of the ActiveX component
wired to the type input). [See the attached image of this sample VI
hierarchy: the far left icon would represent TestStand, and the far
right is the strict typedef.] Any of the VIs in the chain might use
ActiveX Property or Invoke nodes, and it can break at any one of those
when the ActiveX component changes. It's easy to fix each one, but
since there are so many VIs it takes a very long time.
Is there any way at all to do a massive search/replace or something to
make the ActiveX references update? I realise that even though
property or method names stay the same from one version to the next,
they are different references. Is there a way to update these based on
name if you give it the base ActiveX reference?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Ben,
Unfortunately I can't post any VIs that would demonstrate the problem
because the ActiveX components are confidential. I'll try to develop
my own ActiveX dll that will demonstrate it, but in the meantime, in
hopes that another picture will help, I've attached an image of a block
diagram (with some names changed to protect confidential information)
of one of the lower level VIs from the hierarchy I posted. In this
example, the "Automation Refnum IN" is an input with a type definition
linked to the strict typedef based on the ActiveX automation dll that
has changed. I updated that typedef, but as you can see the output to
the "Class1" indicator is broken. If I delete the "Class1" indicator
and select Create->Indicator from the Class1 property node, and then
wire the new "Class1" indicator to the connector pane, the VI is fixed
-- at least at compile time. In most cases there is also a runtime
problem where the reference obtained by one of the intermediate
property nodes is null, so the property or method node that uses it
fails (e.g. "_VNManager.Networks" property returned is 0, so the
"_Networks.Network1" property node fails). To fix this problem, I have
to delete the wires between the property nodes, and one by one select a
different property/method, then select the correct property/method and
re-wire. There seems to be a bit of "jiggling the handle" to get it to
work though.
I don't know if the ActiveX developer changed anything in this class,
but if he did, he didn't change the name of this class. I would like
to have to modify the VI only if a class, property or method has
changed name or been removed.
Does that all make sense? Thanks for any pointers or help!

Capturing Key press when the focus is not on VI. (event is not working).

I have a VI, and found similar in Forums. I need to catch key down event, when the focus is not on VI.
I attached the VI found in forum. Try to click on other window, for example on block diagram of VI, when VI is running and check if it works. The answer is no, it doesn't work. When you press any key, the led button must change it's state, but it does only when the focus is on VI's front panel. The question is how to control key press, when VI is minimized or inactive. Is it possible to catch key down or any similar event, when the focus is on any other application, not on VI?
Solved!

Have a look at the "Connectivity...input devices..." menu.
For an example, open the example finder and look for "basic input demo". It should give you some ideas. Good luck!

How do I select the entire text when the focus is moved to one TextBox?

How do I select the entire text when the focus is moved to one TextBox?
There are three TextBoxes. I use <TextBox TabIndex="1"/> to set the order they are selected. When I enter one specific TextBox, I would like to have the entire text selected ... one key stroke removes all of the text in that TextBox.

I do it the following way:
1. Override the OnStartup for the application. Use the following code: (VB.NET)
EventManager.RegisterClassHandler(GetType(TextBox), TextBox.GotFocusEvent, New RoutedEventHandler(AddressOf TextBox_GotFocus))
2. In the event handler use this code (again VB.NET)
Private Sub TextBox_GotFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
_theTextBox = CType(sender, TextBox)
If setFocusTimer IsNot Nothing Then
RemoveHandler setFocusTimer.Tick, AddressOf setFocusTimer_Tick
End If
setFocusTimer = New DispatcherTimer
setFocusTimer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(10)
AddHandler setFocusTimer.Tick, AddressOf setFocusTimer_Tick
setFocusTimer.Start()
End Sub
Private Sub setFocusTimer_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
setFocusTimer.Stop()
_theTextBox.SelectAll()
End Sub
What this does is register a handler for every textbox in your application. This will execute when the GotFocus event is raised and will allow you to do whatever (in this case select all) you want. A great way of handling things at the application
level.

How to find the when the password is changed for a system User

Hi to all,
We have a test database where our application connects to system user. The application runs more than a month without any issues, But suddenly my system and sys password gets changed. I wonder how this would happen. I have checked with DBA_USERS to check whether the account gets locked, But the account is in the Open state.
I need to find out when the password gets changed for these users and who changed it? Is there any possible to trace it or we need to enable the auditing to find it in future.
Kindly let me know the possible ways.

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help.

Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help. BTW the same 'Save As' dialog in other applications still allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory.

cor-el,
I kept forgetting and procrastinating about following your instructions, since I have internet access only for limited amounts of time and usually I am busy with important tasks when I am.
Out of the blue, the problem corrected itself (the Save As box started to open full screen, then shrunk down to a normal size and the edges can now be dragged to a custom size).
Even the copy and paste problem in the filenaming area seems to have been less troublesome lately even though there have been no updates to Firefox in a few weeks.
Even though I marked the solution as not helpful, the problem has in fact been resolved. I will save the solution instructions in case the issue returns.

HT3737 Why does the Safari toolbar disappear when the cursor is not on it ?

Why does the Safari tool bar disappear when the cursor is not pointed to it?
How can I fix it ,Please.

It sounds like Safari is displaying in 'full-screen'. To reveal the tool bar move the mouse pointer to the top right-hand corner of the screen. You should see two blue arrows, click on those and it should take it out of full-screen mode and leave the menu bar, tool bar, etc. permanently on view.

I want the system automatic update my UDFs when the OnHand was changed.

I added two UDFs in table OITW to count the warehouse OnHand by CASES and Bottles. I want the system automatic update my UDFs when the OnHand was changed. Is there any way I can do it in database level instead in the application (too much places involved).

There is few ways how to do this:
- triger as David said, but I dont recomend it through SAP policy
- in stored procedure transaction notification by adding or updating document update your user field
- create job in SQL server which in specific interval recalculate the changes of onhand and update your user defined field
- create addon which will be over functiuonalities which may change the onhand value
I think that from SAP is possible only Addon, but the easist way is trigger and if you dont need it just in time but for example every 10 seccond, the better is job which cannot fail the standard SBO transaction (triger may and may be unsafe).
Hope it helps

Do I need to recreate the View when the underlying field changes?

Re: Do I need to recreate the View when the underlying field changes?
I did an ALTER TABLE1 to change FIELD1 from varchar(5) to varchar(7). TABLE1.FIELD1 is in VIEW1. When I do a SELECT * FROM VIEW1 it shows 7 characters. But when I look at VIEW1 in object explorer (after refreshing), FIELD1 is varchar(5). Do I care?
Should I recreate the VIEW1?

If you have refreshed using sp_refreshview stored procedure then you are good, if not then here you go...
The metadata for the view is not automatically updated when the tables are modified.
The fix is to either drop and re-create or alter the view or to use the sp_refreshview stored procedure.
Example :
EXEC sp_RefreshView View_Tablename
GO

A Callers recompile is NOT undone when the subVI's changes are undone

Hello All
I suspect this is expected behavior and not a bug, but I will ask anyway.
Load a top level VI into memory and then open a subVI (a.vi) from somewhere within its hierarchy, also ensure a.vi's caller (b.vi) FP is open somewhere just so you can see the FP and the VI changed asterisk.
If you now do an edit to a.vi that will cause it, and it's caller, to need to be saved, for example delete or rename a FP control, both VI's will show the VI change asterisk as expected.
Now on the subVI (a.vi) use Ctrl-Z to undo your change and as expected the VI change asterisk disappears and the VI can be closed without a save prompt. However any caller VI's still show the VI changed asterisk and will come up with the save prompt when you try to close them.
If you have a large project with lots of VI and you work by loading your top level, I think this can be a causes on quite a few unexpected changes to VI.
I just wondered if people would expect the "un-do" to be a little cleverer than it is ?

Hi
Thanks for your reply's
Ben , I always have the auto-save turned off, for me it interferes with the source control system if I do not. I had not noticed that you cannot undo past a save, that is in my view a shortfall, MS Office and many other applications allow you to do this and unlike my original question, which I can sort of see as being hard, surly this would be an easy thing to do.
Yes I agree with you tst, anything that changes the inplaceness (is that really a word) of data, but I am interested if you think this a) expected b) good.
Altenback, I do understand your comment that it would be difficult for the top level VI to know what is going on down below and in truth I do not think this behavior surprise me, but to me it is a pain. Using a source control system I really want to know, for review purposes if for no other reason, which actual VI's have been edited by
a programmer for a bug fix or feature change and I have always been unhappy about the "unedited" VI that appear on this list, so anything that I can find to stop unexpected VI changes to me is a good thing.
It would be nice if one of the save options when you close a VI was to automatically "do not save, or prompt for save" VI who's only changes are a subVI has changed. Then I could load top level change all the actual VI I need to edit, close all and only save those VI that have been edited each with a relevant comment into the source control system, then open the top level again and on closing this time save the changed VI all with the say "VI save due to subVI recompile" comment"
cheers

Timeline frame display disappears when viewing area bar changed

I'm trying CS4 and one of the frustrating things compared to Pro 1.5 is when I change the zoom using the viewing area bar all the frames that were displayed disappear and the only way to bring them back is to click in the area where they should be. In 1.5 the frames would disappear while the bar was being moved, but would be redrawn when the mouse button was released. Why doesn't the bar behave like this? The zoom slider does the right thing but is far too coarse.

When the # prompt has appeared, type in the first line exactly as posted, and then press Enter. If the command worked properly, another line containing root# will appear below it without any intervening line. Type in the next two commands in the same manner. The fourth command will not produce a root# line when properly executed; instead, the text screen will disappear and the machine will continue starting up.

Hello SAP Gurus,
As per our current system set up, whenever the order created in CRM once replicated to ERP should not change the item category in CRM .If the item category is changed( allows the system) and saved, it gives an error as u201CItem category should not be changedu201D. We have been encountering this type of issue since long back
To avoid this type of issue, an error should through while saving the order when the user changes the item category in CRM.
Can someone help me to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Sreedhar,
Can't you control it by Item Category determination?
