Refreshing opener window so buffer is cleared.

Hi SDN,
I have Web interface where I have my main application window.
From here i open new windows executing small web application made in BSP.
These applications change som data and are then closed.
But my main window is not refrehsed.
If i dont hit F5 the changes i have done i the popped up window is never displayed.
I found out that hitting F5 will cause the application to terminate the session and reload at the same place but the buffers are now cleared an i get the correct.
Does anyone know how to achive this course of action ?

Hi Daniel.
I have tried several thinks including this blog /people/dezso.pap/blog/2006/04/13/common-javascript-questions
Unfortunatly all my javascripts are not refreshing the page correctly.
i have tried.
window.opener.location=window.opener.location
window.opener.location.reload()
All of these refreshes the page but the buffers are not cleared.
The window.opener.location.reload(true)
does reload the page correctly but one of the standard popup are displayed.
Saying: The page can not be updated without sending the information again.
And i cant find any way to avoid that.

Need help with refreshing open window in new tab

Hello all,
First, all my other problems I've solved. One last thing, being a newbie and trying things I've found on the net and them
not working, I can use your help one last time. My code has a Home page that peforms a Search (most of you have
I am sure done this), and from that search submit a window opens in a new tab (browser tab) and has the results on
it.
That works fine. What I'm having trouble with is being able to perform a new search and refreshing that open window
with the new data. Right now I am closing that window by clicking on the tab and then performing the search.
While it works, it's not user friendly.
So, I've tried the usual mywindow=window.open("url.cfm"); and then trying to grab that handle to refresh, but to
no avail. Has anyone done this?
Thanks!

Here's an example of how you could do it.
<script>
function submitAndFocusTarget(form) {
var win = window.open("", form.target);
form.submit();
win.focus();
</script>
<form action="index.cfm" target="mysearchwin" method="get" onsubmit="submitAndFocusTarget(this); return false;">
<input type="text" name="search" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="search" />
</form>

How to Clear all the data of open windows form of another exe?

Hi,
I want to make utility which will clear all the data from one windows application.
i know the application name. The application of which data i want to clear is made in C# and contains many windows forms and controls.
out of that opened windows form and controls inside it need to be cleared.
Please guide on how to do this in C#?

Short version: Find the window and send it a message with
SendMessage.
Open up Spy++ and find your form's window. You will see that the window has children and they have classes of the form "WindowsForms10.EDIT.*" Those are TextBox controls. You can call things like SetWindowText to set the
text of the window to clear it.
To do this programmatically, you'll have to obtain the window hand that corresponds to the control. You can find windows with
FindWindowEx or
EnumWindows. Locate the window by name or class or whatever else you can determine about it. Find the child windows and "clear" them however you wish. I assume you mean to set empty strings to all the TextEdit controls. If you
intend to do something more sophisticated than that, then you'll have to be more specific about what you mean by "Clear all the data".
It may or may not be obvious that you'll be poking around with Win32 API calls via PInvoke to accomplish much of this. Example:
SetWindowText via PInvoke.

Safari history will not clear with open windows

I clear my history on Safari but I found the history doesn't really clear if i have other open windows in safari. Everything in the history bar disappears but when you type in URL in a new window, it will predict from a history that should be erased. I do have a workaround.....I have to close all safari windows, clear history, and that gets everything. I would like to not have to close all windows. This just started happening a month or so ago after I upgraded. Any plans to fix this?

The reason you have a clear history button is so history will be cleared It is not clearing if other windows are open.
Correct. It does not clear if other windows are open. This is how all browsers work.
No other browser works that way.
IE 7.06 tells you you have to close the browser after deleting the history to finish removing the history.

How to hide open windows with one swipe so i can see my desktop clear, as it was in snow leopard?

Hi, this was one very handy feature which I can not find now in Lion and kinda frustraits me. When I wanted to go strait to a clear desktop to open a folder, while being on another window, I had to swipe three fingers up (I think). Now trying swipe up, down, whatever, I got different showing of all opened windows, the one which says desktop though when clicking on it, brings the current window. Is it me or Lion is missing that? thanx

Hello,
Apple employees do not read very often the messages here.
The only (and official) way is to send a suggestion via this page :

Not opening all my previously opened windows, many are blank!

Why does Safari randomly choose not to open all my previously open windows? Sometimes up to half the tabs/windows show up BLANK.
Often, I'll see the headings written in the tabs in the toolbars, but when I go to them, they are blank, and I must re-enter the page name manually, do a search, then load the correct one. Other times it will just be blank (usually when it's a single window, since the page name is not in the tab toolbar. WHY is it doing this?
Will clearing past history remove the ability to open a window that is open when I close Safari?

Context = this problem has nothing to do with images. The blank pages contain no content at all, no source code. There is simply nothing to reload.
They have headers only, which safari seems to remember separately as tab info. The rest is gone.
I've deleted caches through prefs and developers tools. All the other tabs refresh. The "random", ones stripped of their URLs, do not.
So what is causing this? Is there a pattern? Why are only certain pages effected (some identical to the healthy tab next to it)? Are they cloned tabs? Is it plug-in related? Google searches? Old searches? Why are they flushed from recent history? Does it relate to icloud synching errors? Is the content actually lost during "sleep" mode or application launch?
Has anyone really posted a fix for this?
Saxman is asking exactly the right questions.
Saxman, do you keep multiple pages of multiple tabs open every day? I do. Are some of them reduced in the dock? Are they google search results? New or reloaded every day?
Next time this happens to you, check to see if that blank page is still in your deep history list. (We know that "reload tab" does not work). In the history menu, choose "show top sites". Then click the history button to view all your pages in cover-flow view. Is the url info still there? (You can use the search function here as well).
Do any of the questions I've posted ring a bell?

My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows). The key behaves the same for the laptop keyboard and for an external Apple keyboard? This just started in last week after 6 months of use

My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows).
The left shift key behaves the same on the laptop keyboard and on an external Apple keyboard.
This just started in last week after 6 months of use. The right shift key and other keys on the keyboard all appear to work correctly.
Suggestions greatly appreciated.

I have a solution to this issue now after a discussion with Apple Support. Some where in the last few weeks, there was a change in the key that would do a Show Desktop under the Mission Control settings in the System Preferences. Even though the key sequence that was shown for the Show Desktop setting did not include the Left SHift key, by changing this first to having no key sequence and applying that and then changing it back to the F11 key, the Left SHift key issue that I was having has cleared up.
A second issue that was uncovered was that the SSD had some issues (uncovered when I ran Disk Utility using the Repair Disk key). I had to restart and use the Disk Utility through the Command R sequence to get to the stand alone Disk Utility. The SSD appears to be running better as a result as well.
Hope that this is of use to someone else in the future.

How can i delete all history, except open windows and tabs?

I recive a message to close firefox when I try to open it, but I don't see any open window???

Sometimes I try to open a web page and receive a message that Firefox is already running and that I should close it before going to the new web page, I can not see any sign of an open window and am unable to do so. I have to restart my laptop. Suggestions?? Many thx.

Its probably because you have just closed another session of firefox and the cookies did not clear. you should do a ctrl-alt-del go to processes click on firefox and again on end task. this should fix your problem.

Window doesn't open window all the way using "+" sign

I made the switch from Windows to Mac a few years back and besides not having a HDD activity light, the biggest pet peeve I have about Apple's OS's is that they don't allow you to click on the "+" sign in the upper left hand corner of an open window to get the window to open fully or maybe it's a trick that I haven't been taught. I works when you use it while using "TextEdit" but not on other applications that I've used. They added that feature to Safari for Windows so I'm sure that it would be no problem to insert that line of code in Leopard or Tiger that would take care of that. It would be moot point to ask Apple why so my question is, does anyone know of a 3rd party app. that does that job for you? The only reason I'm asking is because it's a real time saver for me and I'm sure for a lot of others.

firstmacnewbie,
I'll explain the issue, even though it doesn't help you. You see, Windows does a few things as a result of historic deficiencies that it has had. Just so we're clear, these deficiencies are no longer present in modern versions of Windows, but Windows users are accustomed to the little quirks that accompany them- all of which still exist in Windows- nonetheless.
Most of these issues relate to Windows' historic lack of multi-tasking. In your case, you are used to the behaviors of a machine and OS that will only display one window at a time, one application at a time (again, this is historically, but the tendencies still exist). When Windows would only display one application window, users got into the habit of viewing and using only one thing at a time.
Another glaring difference that springs from the same historic lack of multi-tasking is the use of "cut and paste" for file system objects. Because Windows would only display one "snapshot" of the file system, in one window, some "workaround" had to be invented to allow users to move files from one place to another. Thus "cut and paste." Because the Mac OS has almost always been able to display multiple windows, and has almost always had drag and drop functionality, user were able to simply drag files from one place to another. No "cut and paste" was needed. Keep in mind that "cut and paste" is an abstract concept, not related to reality, while drag and drop is very much intuitive and realistic (when you want to move a real object somewhere, you cannot simply toss it up in the air, trusting that it will stay in some abstract "ether" until its destination is convenient. No, you must physically move it from the first place to the second, holding it in the meantime).
Getting back to your specific issue: You would be better served by getting used to the way things are in Mac OS, which is designed around the concept of having and using multiple open windows. This precludes opening windows up beyond their reasonable usefulness. This is especially true with today's modern displays, which sport high resolutions and large amounts of Desktop "real estate." I actually have my Safari window opened up a little beyond what is necessary to display any and all web pages, and it still consumes not much more than half of my display. Why would I want to open it more (it wouldn't show any more of any web page), hampering my ability to access either the Finder or some other application? Why would you? Again, you would be better served by "unlearning" your Windows habits.

Help please: Refreshing a window

Hello,
I would like to refresh a window so I have
try
tell application "Finder" to update folder "My folder" of desktop
end try
It compiles but does not work, I have to do this:
try
tell application "Finder" to close folder "My folder" of desktop
tell application "Finder" to open folder "My folder" of desktop
end try
That compiles and works, but the opening and closing of "My folder" is obvious to the user.
How could I improve that?
Thanks.
Lennox

Lennox, you could try using this free shell utility. It has worked just fine for me. Here is the link:
http://osxutils.sourceforge.net/
The man page you want is "/usr/local/bin/wsupdate" if you don't specify a file then the finder windows should be updated. Here is a example of using this shell command.
set Icon_From to choose file with prompt "Choose the file you want to copy the icon from?" without invisibles
set Icon_To to choose file with prompt "Choose the file you want to copy the icon to?" without invisibles
my ReplaceIcon(IconFrom, Icon_To)
on ReplaceIcon(FromFile, To_File)
try
do shell script "/usr/local/bin/seticon" & space & (quoted form of (POSIX path of From_File)) & space & (quoted form of (POSIX path of To_File))
try
do shell script "/usr/local/bin/wsupdate" & space & (quoted form of (POSIX path of To_File))
on error Error_Message
display dialog Error_Message giving up after 2
return false
end try
on error Error_Message
display dialog "Requires osxutils from http://osxutils.sourceforge.net/" giving up after 3
return false
end try
end Replace_Icon

Open Windows Explorer with path from IR?

Hi.
Using latest version of APEX on Oracle XE 10.
I have a database that has fields with UNC paths in. I want to be able to launch Windows Explorer with these paths from an Interactive Report... is this possible?
Thanks in advance,
Adam.

Hi, and thanks for the response.
I'm not sure if I've been clear in what I was asking as this seems like overkill at first glance - or maybe I just don't get what's actually involved! ;-)
E.g. Say my data was
Analyst : Mr Any Body
Date: 04/01/2012
Path: \\server1\vol1\DirA\Subdir1
I'd like the Path field to appear as a hyperlink that opens Windows Explorer with that path in the address bar. Is this not possible with javascript or something? Even if it is, I need some help with how/where to plug that into my Interactive Report.
If I used something other than an Interactive Report (e.g. just a regular form), could I code a button to do this task?
Thanks again,
Adam.

Photoshop 7 will not open - Windows 8.1

This issue began in Windows 8.
One day Photoshop 7 just stopped opening. It would start to load things and I would get some sort of error, which was pretty generic when I looked it up.
ImageReady works ok, but does not have the features I need.
I completely uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop 7. It did not help, the error was still there.
I was hoping upgrading to Windows 8.1 would clear out whatever file was stuck that was preventing Photoshop from opening.
Now I do not even get an error, Photoshop starts to load and then simply stops.
The load screen shuts off when it is displaying
Initializing ICC entries...
or at
Initializing Color Preferences...
If I try to open it several times eventually Windows just says a problem caused the program to shut down and my only option is to close the program.

I would go to
C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop\7.0\Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Settings
drag the whole Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Settings folder to the Recycle Bin and then try starting photoshop 7
(the preferences are not reset on a reinstall of photoshop)
As far as the 7.0.1 update, were you ever able to update to 7.0.1 on windows 8, before all the problems started?
(before you upgraded from windows 8 to 8.1)
If you go to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0
is the Photoshop.exe named the same way?

How to make Finder automatically go to the foremost open window?

I hope I'm explaining this clearly.
Suddenly, when I click on the Finder from the Dock, it does not go to the last open window. I have to go to the Windows menu and select it, or click and wait on the Finder icon in the dock for it to open. I usually have a lot of apps open so when I go to Finder it's to do some file management - and the extra step of having to bring the last open window to the forefront is annoying me!
Does anyone know how to make the Finder automatically come to the forefront (with the windows) from click in the Dock? I swear my mac always did that before but now it's stopped!

can anyone help me here?
