Problem with tabbed focusing

I have a question that I'm guessing has a ridiculously simple answer for you gurus, but I still can't figure this out:
For some reason, I've had a couple of instances where the OS will go into a "tab focusing" mode, where hitting the tab will switch to each item and put a blue highlight around it, whether it's in a dialog box or the bookmarks bar in Safari. The highlight doesn't always function as something I can activate with the enter key or arrows, though (as in the Shut Down dialog box). The first instance of this (I believe) went away on its own, after performing an OS update. In either case, I'm pretty sure I haven't accidentally turned on something in the system preferences.
Anyone have a quick and dirty explanation (or better yet, a fix!) for this?

Hi Chris
it may be that you un-wittingly hit Shift-F7 which toggles Tabbing between "text boxes & lists only" and "All controls"
I know I've done this a few times

Office Web Apps Server 2013 - Word Web App - Problem with Tab space

Hello We have Office Web Apps Server 2013 running with SharePoint 2013. Users Editing a Word document with Office Web Apps, can't use "Tabs", any Word document with Tabs; the tabs are replaced with a single space.
Has anyone noticed this? Is this a bug?
-thanks

Yes, currently the Word Web App does not support
Tab Keyboard shortcut for editing document content .
For more information, you can have a look at

Problem with Tabbing Order in LiveCycle

I have a two page form. The last field on the second page is an image field (the user can attach a graphic). The problem is it won't tab back to the first page after this field.

I, too, am having problems with tab order.
I have a two-page form created in LiveCycle Designer. There are 66 fields on the 1st page of the form, and 65 fields on page 2. When I use Window > Tab order to examine the tab order, all is as it should be (except for one thing, discussed later). However, when I go into the Preview PDF tab (or load the form in Acrobat X Pro), field 4 on page 1 tabs to field 42 (on page 1). Additionally, tabbing from field 41 on page 1 takes me to field 43 on page 2.
I can use Action Builder to ensure that the tab goes to the appropriate field, but that seems a rather kludgy way to go about it.
And that additional problem: I've got three text fields on page 1 that are of type Protected. According to the documentation, "The protected field is not included in the tabbing sequence and it does not generate events.", yet all three fields are in the tab order.
What (if anything) am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Problem with tabbed panel

I have a problem with tabbed panel...this panel has 3 columns, I copied to each of them a diffrent text (diffrent height)...I expected to obtain diffrent working area of column, for example 1st column-height 7500 px, 2nd-1500 px, 3rd-2500 px, but I received one height 7500 px, each column has been formatted to this size....below a text I have “empty space”- (it is a diffrence between working area and text area)...I put the text to the 1st column for example 7200 px height, empty space below this text is 300 px I received 7500 px of working area in this column, here the problem doesn`t exist but….2nd column i have height of text for example 1300 px, below this text i have 6200 px empty space...It should be height 1300 px of text and maybe 200 px of empty space...so the working area could have at 1500 px not 7500 px of height....I try to change it (to for example 1500 px) but it still return to the basic 7500 px height and can`t do it...The solution is to use another form like. the accordion form..but it is a row form….when you put a diffrent sized text (height) you will receive diffrent size of working area (height), you obtain 7200px text +300 px empty space=7500 working area in 1st row.. 1200 px text + 300 px empty space=1500 workin area px in 2nd row and 2500 working area px in 3rd row…everything is fine in this form…each row has been formatted to the different size of height…but I prefer to use a tabbed panel (column form) instead a accordion form.…I don`t to waste the time to correct the code in html text editor like PSPad…

alrighty then try this xml structure.
Note: formatting information like b, or linkage tags should
not be part of the xml.
The XML format is a universal format for data, if you fill it
with style information this is not good practive (in general, there
are of course scenarios where it makes sense, also since (x)html IS
also XML).
In your case you want to put the information about multiple
companies in a xml file, but you let the flash decide how to
display format this information.
so if you use the sugested XMl structure you will have full
control of the layout within flash, because you can grab every
piece of information from the xml and place it jsut where you want
in flash and format it within flash.
Of course this process is more coding work than your previous
attempt, but it pays of when you have a lot of data to process and
when you want to have full control of the final layout.
But maybe its overkill for your application (I don't know how
many companies will be stored in your xml and how complex the rest
of the app is).

Problem with window focus in xmonad

Hi!
I have the following problem with xmonad:
Suppose I do the following:
1) go to fullscreen view
2) Start an application app1 e.g. evince
3) start another application on the same workspace app2 e.g. okular
4) open in app2 a dialogue (e.g. a "file open" dialogue)
5) press mod + tab until app1 is in the background of the dialogue
(which is floated)
6) click on the dialogue-window.
Now the "background window" changes from app1 to app2. Is there a way
to disable such a behaviour?
Thanks
michael

Hi
It's not necessary to use fm WRITE_FORM, if the data to be written are placed in a window but not assigned to a text element, they will be written automatically.
So try to check if the data are in text element in your sapscript

When i am using tab to navigate through the JFileChooser,when the tab enters the area where the files are listed with details,the tab is not comming out of the File List area,instead it is traversing with in the files.How do i come out of the File List area using Tab key.I wanted to make a functionality similar to Windows FileChooser where in if we press Tab it goes to the file list and the next tab focus to Text field and so on.
Is it possible using JFileChooser??
Pls Help me,

Problems with the Focus in different JTables

Hello,
I got the following problem.
First of all, I use a Splitpane to show 8 different tables. Four of them (tables 1-4) are placed in the left part of the Splitpane. The other four tables (5-8) are on the right hand side.
The four tables on the left got their own TableCellRenderer and the four tables on the right got also their own TableCellRenderer.
If i load the side, I want the focus to be in table 2 and in table 5. How can i do that? Their is never a focus in any of them at the beginning but I need them in TWO of them.
Secondly, I don't know how I can leave the one focus between tables 1-4 AND tables 5-8????
I can click through tables 1-4 without any problems but the focus in one of the tables on the right side disappears. The same on the other side if I click through tables 5-8?
Can anyone give me an answer? I am looking for hours already and I am so frustrated right now.
Thank you so much....

Problem with showing focus points in 3.5.1 & 10.9

I cannot always display the focus points either by using Option + F or View > Show Focus Points on my MBP, late 2012.
Prior to 3.5.1 & 10.9, either one of these commands would always display or remove, the focus points.
At times I can restore the focus point display by either closing and opening Aperture or by rebooting OS X. Today, nothing restores this function.
Anyone else with this problem or hopefully know of a solution?
Thanks, Bill
FWIW Apple, where is Aperture 4??

Clem
There is some data in Console.ap, the latest being about 45 minutes ago. With a filter set for APERTURE there are several references to :
"12/3/13 2:53:02.038 Aperture[1324]: The function `CGContextClear' is obsolete and will be removed in an upcoming update. Unfortunately, this application, or a library it uses, is using this obsolete function, and is thereby contributing to an overall degradation of system performance."
and a 13 inch screen full of generally single items. I do not know how to read / use this info.
After your message, I went to Aperture and used Option + F, View > Show Focus Points and moused over the small icon representing focal points in the upper right hand corner of the inspector with the info tab selected (just under the JPEG icon) several times but that did not generate any new data in Console.ap.
Hope this is what you were refering to.

Problem with tabs

when I open or close a tab if feels like if the window focus where stuck somewhere on another window.
in order to interact with any element on the page I need to click on the browser again
this only happen when I open or close a tab using the mid button of my mouse.
everything if fine when I ctrl+click to open a new tab, same goes for ctrl+w and alt+f4
am I the only one with this issue?

Does this still happen with another mouse or with a standard Windows mouse driver instead of a special mouse driver from the manufacturer of the mouse?

Importing CSV into table - problem with tab-deliminated files

Hi All,
I have written an application based on well-known Uploading excel sheet using Oracle Application Express (APEX) example from the following site:
http://avdeo.com/2008/05/21/uploading-excel-sheet-using-oracle-application-express-apex/
All works as expected...
However the code in the example assumes that the CSV file is really comma-delimited file:
v_line := REPLACE (v_line, ',', ':');
Now, I have noticed that when different people use "Save as CSV" function in Excel they sometimes get different results. For example sometimes you get a file which is semicolon delimited (';').
However, I need to process a file which is tab-delimited file. Thinking is was quite simple task I simply change the above line of code to:
v_line := REPLACE (v_line, chr(9), ':');
where chr(9) is the ASCII code for horizontal TAB
I was very surprised however to see that if I process the tab-delimited file with the above line I receive an extra character between EVERY CHARACTER. To give you an example:
1) When processing a normal comma or semicolon delimited file using v_line := REPLACE (v_line, *','*, ':'); or v_line := REPLACE (v_line, *';'*, ':'); I receive correct results:
SQL> select contract_value,dump(CONTRACT_VALUE) from sdpr_upload;
CONTRACT_VALUE DUMP(CONTRACT_VALUE)
354000 Typ=1 Len=6: 51,53,52,48,48,48
555569 Typ=1 Len=6: 53,53,53,53,54,57
2) When processing a TAB-DELIMITED file using v_line := REPLACE (v_line, chr(9), ':'); I get this:
SQL> select contract_value,dump(CONTRACT_VALUE) from sdpr_upload;
CONTRACT_VALUE DUMP(CONTRACT_VALUE)
3 5 4 0 0 0 Typ=1 Len=13: 0,51,0,53,0,52,0,48,0,48,0,48,0
5 5 5 5 6 9 Typ=1 Len=13: 0,53,0,53,0,53,0,53,0,54,0,57,0
Now the BIG QUESTION ARE:
Where do these 0's come from? How to get rid of them?
Many thanks for any pointers!
Pawel.

Thanks for the tip, however the problem is to actually load the tabbed file.
I think the issue lies somewhere else. I see some weird characters in the export file when viewing it in Linux vi. So I am guessing this could be some unnicode conversion problem rather than any issue with the application or script.
Is there anyway one could upload a UNICODE text file into Apex?

Problem with Tabbed Panel Widget

OK, so I am new to CS4 and plagued by a myriad of issues, but this one is so bizarre and stupid I have to get help. I am using one of the generic templates to take advantage of already existing tabbed panel code. The problem is that although 3 out of 4 tabs are fine, the 4th (and last) one has a white stripe through it. It's almost like the page background color (white) is showing through.
Crazy right? But I cannot get rid of this.

Thank you for the response!
It's not a live site. I am just experimenting with a template to see if I can make a legitimate product page before I buy CS4. I will check the div tags...but man, there are so damn many!

Jonathan Rowe

Graph range problem with tab control

Hello.
I am using LabVIEW 8.2.1
I have five XY-graphs in a tab control, with five tabs. One graph in each tab. When running, theese graphs is constantly written to, but the user is only allowed to watch one at a time.
The program also contain a maximum&minimum chart, containg the maximum and minimum value for every plot in the viewable part of the graphs. The user can zoom in on a graph, and then watch the max&min values in this picture. The values are calculated by taking the range to each graph, and use theese ranges to cut out the viewable part from the input data to the graphs.
The problem is, that the program only see the last viewed range. If I view a graph in a tab, the max&min values for this graph is correct, but the four other graphs dont get the correct values. The graphs data is written correctly. It seems like the ranges from the "hidden" graphs dont get updated when not viewed. Does anybody know how to fix this problem?
I have uploaded an example to this problem. See how the range just freezes on the not viewed graph, even the two graphs is exactly the same.
Thanks
Fredrik, Norway

Frederik,
the reason for your issue is autoscaling. If the graph is not drawn, autoscaling will not take place, so you will not get any correct values, you will get the last autoscale-values.
The behaviour therefore is "works as intended" since it reduces CPU usage.
So the best way to work around is something like seen in the attached VI: you should compute the scaling for each graph on your own and use this to update the scales as well as the indicators (which i left out in my VI).
hope this helps,
Norbert

Problem with tab-key navigation

I am making chanegs to an existing form.
I have a tab canvas with 3 tabs, each contains a data block, and other data blocks outside of the tab canvas.
I wanted the tab key to move the cursor to the next record so I changed the navigation style from "Change Block" to "Change Record", but it did not help. When the cursor is a on a record of a multi-record block and I tab through the items to the last one, pressing the tab key leads me to another tab-page.
I put in some debug code and noticed that the WHEN-TAB-CHANGED trigger did not fire. The WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD trigger fired and the cursor block and record number were correct.
After the tab key took me to another tab-page and I navigated back to the original tab-page. Even though it looks like I'm on the correct tab page, SYSTEM.cursor_block was NOT correct, it was pointing to another data block outside of the tab canvas.
I checked other forms on our system and I'm pretty sure that changing the navigation style to "Change Record" would work. Perhaps there's something peculiar about this form.
Any idea will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Found the problem.
For some reason, the WHEN-NEXT-ITEM trigger of the last item of the record is hard-coded to go the another block.
