Question-How to fix Robohelp8 window keeps focus when it shouldn't?

I converted a robohelp 8 for word project to robohelp 8 for HTML this year. The software GUI it is part of is created with PowerBuilder 12.1. The HTML help works fine in the application, except that once the help window is opened, only that window has focus. If you navigate to another GUI window and keep the help opened, it remains in the back which is correct. If you navigate back to the original GUI window, the help window is "stuck" on top where it originally was, when it should be in the background. The old robohelp for word doesn't have this problem. I have checked all the window properties settings, and all are basic default values. I do have the "remember size and position" option turned on, so that you can move the help window out of the way of the GUI, and then it works fine. But my developers want the focus issue to be fixed. It occurs both in XP and Windows 7. Is this something I can fix in robohelp? Or is it a PowerBuilder issue?
I have another help project created with robohelp 8 html with same window properties & that one does not have this problem. That GUI is created with Visual Studio 2008.
Thank you very much!!

Hi Judy
Likely you need to ask your developers to examine the calls for the application where things work as expected. My guess is that they will find there is a change they need to make in the way they call the help. There really isn't much in RoboHelp that influences this behavior. You can look at the extended properties for the window, but I'm doubtful you will find that anything has been set that would cause it.
Cheers... Rick

Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SF card as the default install location for software applications?

Very simple question, how do you configure windows 8.1 to use a SD card / external drive as the default install location for software applications? Primarily interested in apps installed from the windows store. This should be available in the settings
charm within the windows store. This must have been overlooked in the development of windows 8.1 or is a bug.

The registry method does not work with 8.1. I found this out the hard way. Doing it on 8.1 will leave you reinstalling the OS if you didn't do a SRP beforehand.

Hello wilsontot_too,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing on your iPhone. It sounds like you are not noticing transparency on your iPhone. It may be that you have "Increase Contrast" turned on in your iPhone settings.
I recommend verifying that Increase Contrast is turned off in Settings>General>Accessibility.

How to fix the windows and nano connection

I recieved my ipod nano and for 2 glorious days it worked. Then my pc could no longer detect it, it just said "malfunctioned usb device" and didnot appear in itunes. The Nano just has the menu as opposed to the "DO NOT DISCONNECT" screen
After a long and arduous day i managed to fix the problem.
By clicking on this link http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651 it tells you how to fix it.
i just did this - (with the ipod connected to the pc)
1) turn hold on, and then off,
2)then press menu and the center select button simultaiously for 6 seconds
3)the apple logo appears
4)then it goes back to the menu briefly, and then goes to the "DO NOT DISCONNECT" screen
5)open itunes, wait a minute and your nano will appear
Wahooooo!
hope this helps everyone!
Ben

Weird.
Yeah, that seems to work.
I learned this after I railed about how defective the nonos were in the Apple groups.
Oops.
This seems to happen when the PC shuts down (as we told it it should re: power options) AND the nano is still plugged in.
I'm not cool enough to say: "My bad", but it was certainly my error.
I think that's what happened; I could be wrong

Question - how i can prevent assembly order rescheduling when in VA02 ?

Hi ( ECC 6.0)
I am working with assembly orders. In sales order create - the system creates an assembly order - requirements type = dynamic order.
If i amend the sales order a few days later - the system reschedules the assembly order - even when the assembly order is started and has status REL = released. I get error CO061 - start date in past.. as the system first backwards reschedules and then reschedules forwards.
Question - any ideas how i can prevent assembly order rescheduling when in sales order change VA02 ? I need the system to check the production order status and if = REL then prevent the rescheduling. Putting a change block on the production order does not work as it ultimately breaks the link between sales:assembly order.
I am thinking i need to use an SD user exit to read the assembly order and prevent order changes if the assembly order is = REL.
thanks in advance
Graham.

Hi Ram
We are using dynamic link. My original solution was to set the 'nochange' on release- however if the sales order qty changed - or the dates changed - or indeed any ATP check was performed - the link was sometimes lost - dependant on user keystrokes. VA02 still calls assembly order change in this scenario - and the user gets the mesage that no change is present - and ATP returns 0 qty.
What I think i can use is user exit EXIT_SAPLCOEXT_001 in conjunction with a user status. I plant to set the status 'block' on release - although configure it to have no action. In the user exit - called in the interface between sales / assembly order - I plan to check the assembly order for this status and set the error condition if the status is set. In debug mode - setting the eror manually - this appears to work as the system never calls assembly order change and accepts the assembly order date/qty as 'supply' in the atp check.
thanks for you assistance.
regards
Graham

How to stop Firefox windows stealing focus from other Firefox windows?

I am using Firefox 26.0 on Windows 7 and tend to brows using multiple windows instead of tabs. Frequently when I click on a link in one window, the new page will begin to load and suddenly a firefox window that is in the back ground pops to the front, stealing the focus from the window I had been browsing in.
There is no consistent pattern as to which websites or pages are loaded into the background windows that suddenly decide to steal focus. Likewise there is no pattern as to which links or actions I use that seem to cause this to happen.
Is this a known issue? It is driving me absolutely nuts!

It could be a bug in the Flash Player plugin, caused by the protected mode feature. This thread has the background on that and known workarounds: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].

Technical question - how to fix the iTunes 10 icon abomination?

How can I get it changed back or at least to something that doesn't look like the WINDOWS VISTA BALL!

...and this whole "Ping" thing is like amateur hour....Not really happy with the hybrid view either. Sent an email to Steve yesterday, no response. Quelle surprise.

How to fix finder window shrink and resize issue

Macbook pro retina 13in running 8.1. Finder window, when in full screen, changes size; shrinks from bottom of screen. After moving a file or two from one folder to another, finder window changes size; gets smaller (bottom frame moves upwards) as if the dock is occupying the space; but no dock is shown until I hover on the dock with mouse. Also, upper portion of finder window goes under title bar as seen in screenshot. Any know issues or fix?

Greg, in addition to Scott's suggestion, when you choose "Greg" (your Home folder) are there 2 "home" folders in there or just on the sidebar? If there are 2 make sure one is empty and delete it.
If not try this:
Navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/preferences and trash these two files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
Then log out and back in again.
Let us know.

How to fix TextEdit window size & location upon open it?

I'm wondering if I can fix TextEdit's window size and its location upon opening a file?
I prefer opening my TextEdit at certain size (LxW) and would like it to stay align either on right or left of the screen edge.
Can I do that? Please help.

I don't know that you can do that. I've not found a way for newly created documents.
Note if you disable System Preferences->General->Close windows when quitting an app, then upon restart of TextEdit, all windows will be exactly where you left them.
