Problem highlighting and moving things with left mouse button on Sat A100

Hi,
my problem started after a reinstall, I wanted to highlight something on a web page, then copy and paste it, but couldn't.
Then I wanted to move the bar on a excel worksheet, but couldn't, the cursor changes shape etc nut it wont let me highlight or move stuff?
(i've downloaded the most recent drivers etc)
It's a bit like the right and left click actions are a bit mixed up?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Grant

Mouse button configuration can be set for right-handed and left-handed users.
Have you checked this option in mouse properties?

DoDragDrop oddity with Right Mouse Button

Hi all,
More experimentation - today with Drag & Drop.
Everything seems fine when performing this with the left mouse button, but when initiating this from WPF
with the right mouse button it appears to trigger the PreviewDrop event on the originating object.
I've tried intercepting QueryContinueDragHandler, which is fired and is having an Action set of Continue - all to no avail.
Much time with google shows no examples of people using the right mouse button with DoDragDrop, and a single query on this forum in September with someone having a similar problem. No replies to that thread - hopeing for more luck today!
So, has anyone successfully initiated a system based Drag/Drop using the right mouse button? In this case I'm working with a ListView, but I suspect that is fairly irrelevant.
Events occuring with Right Mouse Button depressed (and dragging a small way) are:
Call to: System.Windows.DragDrop.DoDragDrop
Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
Callback: DropTarget_PreviewDragEnter
Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
Callback: DropTarget_PreviewDrop
With the Left Mouse Button:
Call to: System.Windows.DragDrop.DoDragDrop
Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
Callback: DropTarget_PreviewDragEnter
Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
Callback: DropSource_ContinueDragEventHandler
etc...
Anyone aware of any issues in this area?
Thanks,
Glyn
PS: The behaviour is different if dragging something from another application / desktop to a drop target, so it appears to be related to the originating side of things. ie, there is no problem when dragging an object from the desktop or similar.

Hmm - seem to have found the problem - it is related to the ContinueDragEventHandler!
Here is a suitable handler for dealing with Left & Right mouse button drags
You can activate it using:
DragDrop.AddQueryContinueDragHandler(this, QueryContinueDragHandler);
private void QueryContinueDragHandler(Object source, QueryContinueDragEventArgs e)
    e.Handled = true;
    // Check if we need to bail
    if (e.EscapePressed)
        e.Action = DragAction.Cancel;
        return;
    // Now, default to actually having dropped
    e.Action = DragAction.Drop;
    if ((e.KeyStates & DragDropKeyStates.LeftMouseButton) != DragDropKeyStates.None)
        // Still dragging with Left Mouse Button
        e.Action = DragAction.Continue;
    else if ((e.KeyStates & DragDropKeyStates.RightMouseButton) != DragDropKeyStates.None)
        // Still dragging with Right Mouse Button
        e.Action = DragAction.Continue;

Strange issue with left mouse clicking freezing other inputs on the Mac

I'm having a strange issue with my game. I'm using Flash CS6 and a Mac.
I've got a character that I move around the screen with keys, and you can click the left mouse button to make him throw something. The weird issue is when I click the left mouse button a lot, it seems to stop any other inputs from coming in, so for example, if I hold the right arrow key down while I'm doing a left clicking, and then let go of the right arrow key, the character will keep on moving right for a few seconds, until it finally get's the key_up event and stops.
Even not using any mouse event handlers, so the mouse is doing nothing in the game still causes the key inputs to be delayed just by left clicking, any ideas?
I've just tested the .swf on a PC and there was no problem, the mouse clicking was not causing any issues, so it's something peculiar to the Mac.

Hi,
This could be an issue if you were using Safari 5.1+ in 64bit mode. This should go away if you run Safari 5.1+ in 32 bit mode. You can change this by
1. Go to /Applications
2. Find Safari->RightClick->Get Info->Check 'Open in 32-bit mode' check box.
3. Relaunch Safari 5.1 again.
Thanks!

hello jeffsprig, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once?

When I try to select bookmarks I am stymied because the mouse control is overridden. This became a recent problem. The way it worked in the past is that items were selected only when left mouse button was pressed.

I select from bookmarks menu a folder containing folders & bookmarks, but I cannot select what I want because an automatic action occurs where my mouse cursor is right then. Selecting what I want from the list is impossible as an undesired selection opens inadvertently, without me any positive action by clicking left mouse button. This problem did not exist 6 months ago. This is now a big problem for me. I'm going to stop using FireFox if this problem cannot be fixed soon!

You do not delete bookmarks in the Customize window.
You need to open the Library if you want to delete bookmarks.

Moving image with the mouse?

I have several Images which I paint directly on a panel. If the mouse pointer is over an image and the user holds the mouse button pressed he shall be able to move the image.
How would you solve that? I mean there is no contains() method in a Image class so that I would be able to check if the mouse location is over a image or not (and over which in particular).
Any ideas?

Then it would look like this:
     void panel_mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
          Contianer c = this.getParent();
          if (c instanceof JViewport) {
               JViewport jv = (JViewport) c;
               Point p = jv.getViewPosition();
               int newX = p.x - (e.getX() - m_XDifference);
               int newY = p.y - (e.getY() - m_YDifference);
               int maxX = this.getWidth() - jv.getWidth();
               int maxY = this.getHeight() - jv.getHeight();
               if (newX < 0)
                    newX = 0;
               if (newX > maxX)
                    newX = maxX;
               if (newY < 0)
                    newY = 0;
               if (newY > maxY)
                    newY = maxY;
               jv.setViewPosition(new Point(newX, newY));
     void panel_mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
          setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));
          m_XDifference = e.getX();
          m_YDifference = e.getY();
     void panel_mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
          setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));

HP Mini- left mouse button is broken. warrany?

I bought an HP Mini about six months ago, and I have recently been having trouble with my left mouse button. You see, my left mouse button is loose, wiggly, and does not respond as well as it used to. IT is also not raised as high as it is supposed to be. My right mouse button, on the other hand, works like a charm. I think the metal contact inside the electronic button might be bent and might need replacement. Is this covered in my warranty? I haven't abused it or anything. I recall that I have at least a one year warranty.
Also: do I have to send it in to HP, or is the store authorized to fix it? If I need to send it to HP, I would do so in July.
My model is HP Mini 110-1118CA. I bought it from a Futureshop in western Canada.

Hello LAHPUser,
I understand at times the left click button the touchpad will stop functioning.
Because this issue is sporadic and doesn't happen all the time we will try our best to correct the issue.
First thing let’s see what driver version you have for your touchpad. Access your device manager if your not sure how to get there click on this link, once there go down to the section mice and other pointing devices. Expand that section then right click on synaptics touchpad, then left click on properties. You should get a window that comes up click on the driver tab and see what it says regarding driver version.
After that task click on this link which will take you to the most recent driver update and if the driver is older than what you see on the webpage install that driver.
Let me know what you get.
Thanks
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!

Left mouse button on A30

Anyone heard of a problem with the mouse button on a Satellite A30, the left mouse button is solid, it just doesnt press down at all so I have to use an external mouse, Im wary of trying to prize it out to have a look without damanging it further, anyone know of the best way to resolve this
Adrian

Hi Adrian
I dont know exactly how old is the unit but it is possible that the contact under the button dont work properly any more. Like you know the unit should be open and mouse checked. I dont believe that you can do it on your own because it is a complicated procedure and it must be done in a right order.
The best solution for you is to contact service partner in your country.

Left mouse button does not work after last upgrade on one computer.

Second request -- left mouse button no longer works after latest upgrade. Uninstalled and reinstalled - did not help. Only affected my office computer. Left button works on other three search engines and other programs -- need suggestions...

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Left mouse button does not act as an enter action

In some applications, I have noticed that clicking the left mouse button of the wireless mighty mouse (or the USB version) does not result in ENTER and I have to press the enter button on the keyboard. eg in ITunes, to cause a song to play, I have to hit the enter button. Is this the way it should work, or do I have a problem? Phil

Hi Phil;
I just tested iTunes on my Mac. I was able to get a song to play by depressing the left mouse button twice.

JTable selection _only_ with right mouse button

I have a JTable and my code is responsible for selection. All selection should only be done with the right mouse button. The left on will be used for other purposes. However, I do not know how to stop selection with the left mouse button.
Currently selecting with the right mouse button does the selection in "my way". Klicking with the left mouse button still offers selection the "default way". I want to disable this default way. How can this be done?

First you get the ListSelectionModel of the jtable. Then use setSelectionInterval to set selection. Look at following code:
table_list.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
showPopUp(e);
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e){
showPopUp(e);
private void showPopUp(MouseEvent e){
if (e.isPopupTrigger()){
menu_point.setLocation(e.getPoint());
ListSelectionModel lsm = table_list.getSelectionModel();
lsm.setSelectionInterval(table_list.rowAtPoint(menu_point),table_list.rowAtPoint(menu_point));
popup.show(e.getComponent(),e.getX(),e.getY());
});

Satellite P300 - Left Mouse Button sticking

Hey folks,
ive a satellite p300, its about 2/3 years old and in the last few days the left mouse button has gone belly up on me.
It no longer springs back up when i press it and needs a bit of wiggeling about to un-click it.
i dont mind opening it up if its a reasonably easy thing to fix, however id prefer not to do it if it *needs* to be replaced.
anyone have any ideas/walk throughs?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, I agree wit Akuma.
The touchpad button needs to be replaced.
Im not quite sure if it would be possible to replace only the button.
Possibly the whole touchpad needs to be replaced
However, this is a job for a Toshiba ASP technician

Broken Left Mouse Button

Hi, my Toshiba Laptop button (the left mouse button) suddenly became loose. It's not totally broken or anything, since I'm still able to press on it, but its very loose and I can't click on it when I press it on the top right corner of the button, and it seen like if I don't do anything about it, its going to become worse (get looser or not work anymore). I think somewhere inside the button, something's chipped. I'm still under the standard one year warranty. Does anyone know if the repair for this is covered under warranty? And by the way, there wasn't any accident, the button just got really loose when I pressed it, normally. Thanks for your time.

Any defects in materials or workmanship are covered by the warranty. More warranty details are available here.

Left mouse button

Does anyone know how the left mouse button is situated in a pavilion dv4-1125nr laptop? Is it replaceable by itself or is it part of the mother-board? My left mouse button still works, but sounds and feels flakey. I have tried to find a part number for it, but cannot. Thanks

It is not part of the motherboard but part of the "Top Cover" which ia basically the top half of the plastic chassis of the laptop surrounding the keyboard. Here is the manual:

The exact part number depends on if you have a fingerprint reader and the color of the laptop. See page 22.
The Manual will also show how to do the replacement.
Here is a black one on ebay for about $40:
