Possible to move alert window?

All,
I have an alert in a form. Like all alerts, it automatically shows up in the center of the screen. Is it possible for me to programmatically position the alert window where I want it? I couldn't find anything in the documentation. There is a way around this, of course, if I just create a separate small window with a text item containing the message , there-by creating my very own 'alert'. I can then do a MOVE_WINDOW, but I'd rather not do this, as it'll require extra work.
Many thanks
Harry

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your question. First you are able to accomplish making a window be in the front most position using property nodes without WIN32 call in the Knowledge Base article Can I Force a SubVI Front Panel To Stay in Front of the Main Front Panel?
You mentioned that "If a window is made frontmost but is not the highest tier, we move everything else to the front using a Windows API call that makes the window frontmost without automatically activate the window". Do you mean without automatically activating the child window or higher tier window?
Also, I'm curious why you might want to have an inactive window in the front. Do you just need to disable some features of that window?
Hope this link helps you. If not, I think it will help us troubleshoot more efficiently if you can post a screen shot of your code here.

  • Possible to move boot display to different DVI port? (GTX780)

    I doubt this is possible, but just in case : is it possible to force boot screens to a different port on the video card?
    The MSI GTX780 has two DVI ports - one DVI-I (which includes analog display) and DVI-D (which does not). The DVI-I port displays the boot screen, BIOS, and anything that shows before Windows is fully loaded.
    I currently have two monitors. My primary monitor can connect via DVI, and since it is a 120HZ monitor, it currently uses a dual link cable. The secondary monitor is older and cannot connect via DVI, so I use a DVI-I-to-VGA adapter and a standard VGA cable for that display. Unfortunately, this means that the secondary monitor shows boot/BIOS/etc.
    Is it possible to move the boot display to the DVI-D port on the card?
    Please note that this is not a big issue - having the secondary monitor show boot info is a minor annoyance at worst. The secondary monitor also has HDMI-in, so I can buy a cable and use that, and then move the primary monitor to the DVI-I port. I do want to avoid spending more money, but mostly, I want to see if it is possible to force the boot screens to another port. This seems like it might be a very interesting way to learn about the video card (and VBIOS, if changing that is necessary to do this).
    Thank you.

    In the "Arrangement" pane of "Displays" System Preference, drag the picture of the menu bar to the picture of the other display.

  • Is it possible to move files from corrupted sectors hard drive to a replacement one?

    My 2011 macbook pro was recently diagnosed with bad sectors. I am looking to get a replacement hard drive, probably a  750 or 1 tb Seagate SATA. Do you think that is sufficient? I do not play games or do anything memory intensive. The most I do is watch a lot of movies.
    Also, is it possible to move files from a corrupted sectors hard drive to the replacement? If so, how would I go about doing this?
    Also, for the operating system, it is probably wrong, and can't check since my Mac pro won't get past half way on the start up loading screen.

    Try a sector copy with CCC and enable using checksum file copy to insure integrity.
    Then Data Rescue 4 - try demo before buying
    Do a full erase of a drive before reusing.
    Invest in SoftRAID.com going forward as it "looks for" weak sectors, alerts.
    Also Google around but SMART Utility has been mentioned as an excellent program/utility -
    When a drive has used any of its spare blocks from when it ships is #1 indicator of being time to replace.
    And of course always have multiple backup sets, methods and know how to use and restore from. Even do a practice set. I would not use just TimeMachine for instance.
    And for some, only a mirror array (minimum two but really consider three drive mirror, with stripe reads to improve performance) can allow pulling one, add a new member and still have a two drive mirror.
    Cloud storage for backup. With OneDrive and Facebook backing up all the photos on all your devices, Macs and PCs as well as tablets and phones, you can have 100-200GB quite easily. And there is Google Drive and Amazon as well as others.
    A new data drive, a drive to do all  the recovery of files that were on the failed drive(s), and probably a clean system drive and use that as you recover and build your system back up.

  • Is it possible to embed a Windows QT player on CD?

    Is it possible to embed a Windows QT player on CD so the application doesn't have to be loaded on the host machine, but accessed from the CD. I have QTVR movies that must play on XP machines, but receipients are not permitted to permanently load "unapproved" software. I recall long ago that a Mac QT player was standalone and could be included in this manner but am unfamiliar with Windows requirements. Can anyone help please?
    G5 Dual 1.8   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Sorry but no. Just as with Windows Media Player, QuickTime has files that must be installed as part of the operating system. The same would apply to a Mac, by the way.

  • Possible to make QT window float on top of all others?

    I want my QuickTime movie window to float on top of all the others, the way some do (like the Microsoft Office Notifications window does). Is it possible? Can a window be set to be automatically on top when another window overlaps?
    Mike

    Thanks - this is a really neat trick! One last question: is there a way to control the size of the QT window within the note? It seems smaller than when I open it by itself.

  • How to get specific message on Alert Window as Window Title.

    Hi all,
    I want to know if it is possible to get Personal Message on Alert Window, instead of "Microsoft Internet Explorer" in JSP.
    Like on alert window , instead of "Microsoft Internet Explorer", I want to show "My Project" as Window Title.
    Thanks in advance.
    Jitin

    If you don't want it to say "Microsoft Internet Explorer," you can use a different browser. :-)
    But, seriously...
    If you really want to customize the appearance of a dialog, you can make one with DHTML that looks like anything you want. You can make it look like a system dialog if you want, but you don't have to. (In fact, if you make it look like a Windows dialog, it will stick out like a sore thumb if someone is using another OS.)
    I had to create some of these for an online testing application I wrote, because they wanted the tests to be timed, and I discovered that, in Internet Explorer, you could stop the clock just by opening certain dialogs, so I had to suppress "right-clicking," remove the menu bars, and use custom dialogs to communicate with the user. Since then I've re-used these dialogs in a number of other projects. They're pretty handy.

  • I saved a backup on my iMac. Is it possible to "move" this backup to another computer, so i can connect my iPhone to my new computer and restore all things on my iPhone?

    I used to have an iPhone full of all the greatest pictures of my life, the apps i enjoyed the most, and all my numbers to my friends and so on.
    Now i have to change computer (The iMac still works) and i wonder, is it possible to move the backup (whereever it is found on the computer) from the iMac and put it onto my new HP laptop?
    IF YES: Where is the backup file saved on the iMac?

    If you still have the iPhone just download iTunes for Windows and sync your iPhone (do one last sync with the Mac first).  To answer your question the location on your Mac for your media is at /Users/yournamehere/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music  Your contacts and pictures would need to be exported from iPhoto and the app you were using as your contact manager (Address Book, Outlook)  The backup file is located at /Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup

  • Is it at all possible to move ipod music from a mac to a pc?

    ...without a CD burner on the mac?
    Here's the problem...
    My son wants to burn a CD of some of his ipod music. We had originally intalled the ipod on a mac. However, the mac disk is full, and we haven't been able to install an external cd burner.
    We have several pcs with cd burners, so I thought I could move the music over to the pc using the ipod. It did create a "shared" library, but you can't do anything with that but listen to it. I reformatted the ipod to pc format, but can't put the music back on the ipod.
    I should be able to reformat the ipod back to mac, then reload the songs on there, but unless I can free up enough space to load the cd burner software, I'm kind of out of luck?

    "is it at all possible to move ipod music from a mac to a pc?"
    Windows can't read the HFS+ file system that a Mac uses.
    If you need to use a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod on a Windows PC, you'll need to install some 3rd party software such as XPlay 2.0 (which you can get from MediaFour Software). This will enable your Windows PC to read a Mac-formatted iPod.

  • About testing Alert window

    Hi, all
        I'm doing some test that involves alert popup windows.  During the test the button's click event is dispatched and an alert window is poped up to confirm the operation. The program will not proceed unless the "OK" button of the alert window is clicked. However I can't find the reference to the alert window and the button on it. Can someone give me some hint, please. Thanks alot~
                spt.

    Ideally the code should expose the Alert instance that was created so
    the test could access it. If that isn't possible Alert instances are
    managed by the PopUpManager, which if you muck with the instance's
    mx_internal popupInfo you could get a reference to the Alert.

  • Upgrade Linux then move to Windows?

    I currently run GW 2102 on Linux. My GW accounts are External Entities in e-directory.
    We moved to AD about 1.5 years ago for networking.
    So...in the long run I want to create a new Windows server for GW 2014 and enable AD support in GW.
    Where do I start? Upgrade the Linux system to 2014. Make sure it's stable. Then enable AD support? Make sure it's stable. Then setup a Windows 2014 system and migrate to that system? Is it even possible to migrate user accounts from Linux to Windows? And...do I want to...My network admins want Windows but from past experience Linux has been a better system for GW.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    That's fine.

    Personally, I would go straight for moving the system to Windows and performing
    the upgrade. I see no benefit in upgrading on Linux and then moving it all to
    Windows and having to perform the overall installation again. In fact, I think
    it adds a lot of unnecessary complications with recreating admin service
    certificates and the like. Do it all on Windows!

    You say your GroupWise users are all external entities, so they really are only
    marginally integrated with eDirectory at this point. That's actually to your
    benefit. So, you move to Windows, upgrade the GW system, and then associate the
    GroupWise accounts to the AD accounts. If the GroupWise IDs are the same as the
    sAMAccountNames you can do a mass association. If they are different, you can
    manually associate the users with AD.
    Here's a whitepaper on the process.

    Elisabeth, There are TWO Peters currently participating here (and if you're really lucky we have a couple more who might show up    ). It was the other one who suggested campatibility mode. My recollection is that you would need to right click on the program executable file after installation and choose properties, then the compatibility tab. Windows might ask you about compatibility during or just after the install, too, if it detects a problem. If you want to send me a file, you can send me a link via Private Message.

  • Resizing movie preview window

    is it possible and if so how would i resize the movie preview window ? i want to do some audio commentary and the window is kinda small.

    Hi there
    Too bad you aren't using a PC. If you were, there is a cool little freeware app called "Sizer" that would allow you to define the size you want and easily size the window.
    I just did a brief Google looking for a Mac alternative and found something called "Mercury Mover". Perhaps that will help?

  • Designing an 'alert' window

    Hi everyone,
    What's the best way to design an alert window with the
    standard OK
    button but have more control of the text formatting - like
    size, setting
    text on a new line. Know a MIAW is one way. Is this the only
    way? Is
    there an Xta or some other technique of having dialog boxes
    that can be
    customised?
    Thanks.

    BuddyAPI (www.mods.com.au/budapi) has a command -
    baMsgBoxEx() which
    allows a good amount of customization- you can adjust the
    font/size/alignment of the text, control the options on up to
    3 buttons,
    the icon that displays on the left of the alert,and location
    of the
    alert box.
    Apart from that, you can roll your own with MUI or even just
    a set of
    sprites that you set up offstage. When you want your alert to
    pop up,
    move those sprites into the center of the stage and change
    their
    images/text at will.
