Option button help

I have a form with 3 option buttons in a group "Requested_Action" Choice1 - Choice3. I have another option button group and when I select one of the choices in the other group I want to lock choice 3 here's what I have so far:
if ( this.getField("Requested_Action").isBoxChecked(0) || this.getField("Requested_Action").isBoxChecked(1) || this.getField("Requested_Action").isBoxChecked(2)){
    // Look for a match of the output/export value of the checked radio button
          // and set the value of FR_ALERT
          if(this.getField("Requested_Action").value == "Choice3" ){
                    this.getField("Requested_Action").value = false;
   this.getField(.......).locked = true;
I dont know how to look at only choice3 in the group of option buttons. Is there a way to designate both the group and choice of the option button?
Thanks!

The "isBoxChecked" can be tricky. You can test the values of an exclusionary group's value. It will be "Off" when no item is selected and it will be the optional/export value when a check box or radio button is slected. You can also check an item or uncheck all items with this inforamtion.

My iPhoto book making process lost an option button, help?

Hi, I have now ordered 3 medium softcovered books. After I placed these orders I realized that I should have increased my preference settings to the 300 dpi as suggested by many on this discussion board. So, I have since done so.
Now when I go back into iPhoto and attempt to make an album one of the option buttons along the bottom, (just to the right of the "Page Type" pull down menu) has disappeared. It used to give me options as to how many photos, caption, colors of page to choose from.
I am wondering if changing the preference setting could be at all the culprit? I am perplexed as to why this would have happened?
Any knowledge would be appreciated. I do see that the "Page Type" pull down menu has some of these choices, but the other button had more options and I miss it.
Thank you!

Judy,
To the right of "Page Type" are there two little arrowheads pointing to the right? If they are there, click on them and you will get a drop down menu with the options.
Hope this helps!

In iPhoto '11 I cannot change the book settings. For example, adding page numbers. There is no "option" button as is suggested by the help item.

In iPhoto '11 I cannot change the book settings. For example, adding page numbers. There is no "option" button as is suggested by the help item. How can I change to book settings?

The "options" button should appear at the bottom of the iPhoto window, when you view your book, then the Book Settings Button should be available and you can activate page numbers.
But remember, that the settings available will depend on the Book Theme you selected. The above shows the settings for one of the "Travel" themes. In a Picture Book Theme, e.g. you cannot add page numbers.
What theme and book size are you using?

Why Apple doesn't provide options in IOS to power off, reset, standby ipad/iPhone/ipod ? I don't se this opiton in IOS6 as well ? This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.

Why Apple doesn't provide options in IOS to power off, reset, standby ipad/iPhone/ipod ? I don't se this opiton in IOS6 as well ? This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.

They do.
Standby = press the Power button
Power off = Press and hold Power button then slide the red power off slider.
Reset = Press and hold both Reset adn Home till you see the Apple logo.
This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.
Because it is better to not push the power button and more enjoyable to not push it?

Need help with dialog option buttons

I am trying to make a program with a menu displaying several buttons that the user can select. I've been following the "How to Make Dialogs" tutorial but the window becomes extremely long when the buttons are displayed horizontally in the same row and there doesn't seem to be a way to make the option buttons display vertically in a column rather than horizontally in a row with JOptionPane. Is there another way to do it?
URL for tutorial: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/dialog.html

Here's a simple example of what I mean. If you go my route, you'll understand how to do this. If on the otherhand you do rgjonathan's suggestion, you'll lose out and be forced into whatever pigeon-hole that NetBeans forces you into:

    public DialogExample()
        mainPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(0, 1, 10, 10));
        mainPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(15, 15, 15, 15));
        for (int i = 0; i < buttonStrings.length; i++)
            JButton btn = new JButton(buttonStrings);
mainPanel.add(btn);

After installing or upgrading to Firefox 31, starting Firefox does not show homepage, customize shows a blank page and the option button does not work

I am the Windows admin for a university department and install PCs with Firefox all the time. This problem does not happen with every PC I maintain, only a select few (different model laptops with Windows 8.1 and update 1.) Until today, it only happened with new user accounts (with admin rights) that I setup on the laptops for our staff. Today this happened with The Administrator account while setting up a new laptop. In all cases so far, I install Windows from a saved image that was created using sysprep.
I have tried the many suggestions of resetting Firefox, deleting the users Firefox profile, deleting the users Windows profile, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox and the latest Java, but nothing helps. After uninstalling, I run an app to delete temp files and caches and will even manually remove registry keys HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Mozilla. Plus I reboot and make sure the install folder is deleted after uninstall.
Results are the same: after installing Firefox 31, the initial setup window for migrating IE and/or Chrome pops up and after clicking the Finish button, Firefox starts, but does not show the initial new user page, only a blank page. Clicking on the Options button (3 bars) does nothing. Right-clicking in the proper area, the popup menu appears so I can choose to Customize, but that only opens another tab with about:customize in the URL and the page is blank. From the right-click popup menu, I can enable the Menu Bar and get to Options from that.
My latest attempt has helped a little. I uninstalled Firefox 31, cleaned up, deleted user Firefox profile, rebooted and then installed Firefox 30. Inital startup runs, and tells me I'm not up to date, and the Options button works. But I still cannot customize.
I then upgraded to Firefox 31, but then it's back to no startup page, no options button and no customize. I can downgrade to 30 and get all but customize working again.
Only Addon is one for McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which just after installing is disabled.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?

How to get the current selected value of a combo box or a option button?

Hello All,
I want to catch the current selected value of a combo box and also of a option button and want save it into different variables in my code. These option button and combo box are in a SAP business one form which I have created through VB dot.net coding.
But I don't know how to do that, can any one send any example code for this.
Regards,
Sudeshna.

Hi Sudesha,
If you want to get the selected values you can do it as follows: The Combo Box value you can get from the combo box. If you want to get it on the change event, you must make sure that you check when BeforeAction = False. If you want to get an Option Button value you should check the value in the data source attached to the option button.
        Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
        Dim oCombo As SAPbouiCOM.ComboBox
        Dim oData As SAPbouiCOM.UserDataSource
        oForm = oApplication.Forms.Item("MyForm")
        oCombo = oForm.Items.Item("myComboUID")
        oApplication.MessageBox(oCombo.Selected.Value)
        oData = oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Item("MyDataSourceName")
        oApplication.MessageBox(oData.ValueEx)
Hope it helps,

Have you chosen only one option button at a time

Hi...
    I have got a problem while working with the option button in screen painter.I have three option buttons. In Run time, I want to select only one option button, mean while the other two option buttons should not be selected.
~
Thank You in Advance
Roseline Christina. B

Hi,
Please check the following
To select an OptionBtn item, the item must be bound to a data source (UserDataSource or DBDataSource) using OptionBtn.DataBind
The following is the sample to add 2 option buttons and group them.
Dim optBtn As SAPbouiCOM.OptionBtn
    Dim oFrm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
    Dim oItem As SAPbouiCOM.Item
    Dim oUserdatasource As SAPbouiCOM.UserDataSource
    ' set oFrm = ..
    'Option 1
    Set oItem = oFrm.Items.Add("BD_rbRes", it_OPTION_BUTTON)
    oItem.Left = 240
    oItem.Top = 10
    oItem.Height = 16
    oItem.Width = 220
    Set optBtn = oItem.Specific
    optBtn.Caption = "Button One"
    Set oUserDataSource = oFrm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add("BD_resDS", dt_SHORT_TEXT,1)
    optBtn.DataBind.SetBound True, , "BD_resDS"
    'Option 2
     Set oItem = oFrm.Items.Add("BD_rbPost", it_OPTION_BUTTON)
     oItem.Left = 240
     oItem.Top = 30
     oItem.Height = 16
     oItem.Width = 220
     Set optBtn = oItem.Specific
     optBtn.Caption = "Button Two"
     oItem.Visible = False
     Set optBtn = oItem.Specific
     optBtn.GroupWith ("BD_rbRes")
Hope this helps,
Vasu Natari.

Re: How to do the validation of option buttons

If you name your buttons ie. your search withnin results button will have attribute name="searchinresult" then your code can look like:
if (request.getParameter("searchinresult")!=null) {
// make the serach in result code
} else {
// make new search
pressing just enter on the text box will invoke "New search"

Option button in screen painter

Hi everyone,
Can I group option buttons in screen painter? How?
I have two problems:
1. The options buttons seem disabled: when i click on them, they aren't checked
2. I can't group them
Thanks
Carles

Hi
First bind your option buttons to a same datasource then use the following to group then
Dim ob1 As SAPbouiCOM.OptionBtn = oForm.Items.Item("ob1").Specific
Dim ob2 As SAPbouiCOM.OptionBtn = oForm.Items.Item("ob2").Specific
Dim ob3 As SAPbouiCOM.OptionBtn = oForm.Items.Item("ob3").Specific
ob2.GroupWith("ob1")
ob3.GroupWith("ob2")
Hope this helps

ITunes 12/Gracenote track ID-where is Options Button?

When I imported some songs from a CD, I didn't retrieve the track info. I'd like to do so now, but I can't find the "Options Button" that Help says should be in the upper right corner of the iTunes window. Does it still exist in iTunes 12.1? Is there another way to do this?
Thanks to the community!

Yes it still exist in iTunes 12

Option Button Databinding in Screen Painter

What is the correct way to specify Databinding in the Screen Painter for Option Buttons? I assume that the first button is specified differently than the others, so I will need to know how the settings for the second option button differ from the first button.
Also, how is the Groupwith property handled with the Screen Painter?

Hi Bob,
You need to create a UserData source and bind it to the option buttons you want to link together. Try to do it with screen painter but if it does not work you can go to the generated xml file and modify it by hand.
The groupwith property is not handled by the ScreenPainter, you must do it in the xml file.
You have a sample code in the UI API SDK Help.
Hope it helps

'Option' button in Network Preferences (Airport) not responsive...?

When I select System Preferences.... Network...Airport, the 'Options' button doesn't work. I can click it, but nothing happens. I'm trying to set up my wireless network to connect automatically and I've been told to do it via this button.
I hope someone can help as it seems a really dumb question to ask!

Option button doesn't open iphoto library choices when depressed

Specs of my Mac are:
Mac OSX
Version 10.7.5
processor 2.4 GHz
Memory 4 GB
External Hard drive are:
WD My Passport for mac 2TB (which I formatted using the disk utility to Mac OS X Extended
I bought an external hard drive to move my photos from iphoto off my Mac Book Pro (its' about 2 years old) so that I can free up some hard drive space.
I photo often freezes as I have over 22,000 photos on it. It opens fine though. I tried copying it to the external but when I try restarting it holding down the option button no window to choose the libraray it opens.
Any ideas why this isnt working?
Command option does work to repair iphoto but I'm not sure what do with that or if that can help me to fix this problem
Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

Do not delete anything until you know exactly what you have and what you want to keep
what exactly is your question?

double click on the library on the EHD to launch it
and now you ant to trash things which has nothing to do with either post

To do that
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Search TV guide options button now inoperable

In addition to no longer having the ability to search within show descriptions for key words or guests on shows, the options button no longer brings up the choice of upcoming airings on TV vs. OnDemand content. Using that button while searching now brings up settings of which key board to use?! The options button used to be very helpful to narrow down the search. Please bring all of the functionality back: searching within descriptions and options of where to search. Thank you.

It sounds more that those buttons were added by an extension.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
