Right click disabled on ActiveX Control

Hi all.
Is it possible to disable the right click shortcut menu in an ActiveX control? I know that I can do in a LabView control (right click on it --> Advanced--> Run-Time ShortCut Menu --> Disable), but I don't know for ActiveX controls, because they are different applications embedded on them and have their own events and shortcut menus...
Thanks,
Francisco.

Hi, smercurio_fc.
Thanks for your reply. But sorry I can't understand you completely. For example, I drop an instance of an Adobe PDF Viewer into an ActiveX Container, and this control has its own Run-Time menu you can access by pressing right button on it (this menu isn't that every LabView control has, but an embedded one). Is it possible to disable it through LabView? I mean, I want to right click this control and don't want this menu to appear...
Regards,
Francisco

Is there a right click disabler ENABLER for Mac?

This is not a question on how to enable right clicking on the Mac.
Here's the question: is there a download or a way with the Mac to re-enable right clicking when there's a php script disabling right clicking on certain websites?

you could use the activity window in safari. (menu bar, window menu, activity) With this up, even if they disable right click, or they embed elements into the back ground the URL for the item is visible and access-able by double click.
another option is command + shift + 4; witch lets you take a screen shot of a specific area of the screen.
often right click disable is done through java.
if you enable the developer menu, you can do things like disable java on a specific page.
to enable the developer menu. Menu bar, safari menu, preferences, advanced tab, check "enable developer menu"

When viewing a right click disabled website, all website text changes to orange, anyway to disable?

When viewing a website that is right click disabled, the website text is turning to orange. If you hover the mouse outside the firefox window it returns to its natural color but once the mouse is in the window the text returns to orange. This hasn't occured with previous versions and does not occur with other browsers. Is there any way to disable this? Tried running in safe mode and the various solutions for websites not displaying properly to no effect.
Thanks

Well, there is good news and bad news. Which do you want first? :)
I'll start with the good news: You can turn off the "tabbed interface" by going to Edit>Preferences>Interface and removing the checkmark for "Open Documents as Tabs".
Now the bad news: The right-click on the title bar still won't work.
Here are some additional thoughts and suggestions:
- Set up your own keyboard shortcuts for the features you previously used via the right-click/title bar (Image Size, for example).
- Give the tabbed interface a fair shot. You might find it grows on you. Here are some tips specifically related to that:
* You don't have to use Window>Arrange. You can use the new "Arrange Documents" icon on the toolbar to go directly to "Float all windows" (it saves you one menu depth anyway). You can also assign your own keyboard shortcut for that as well.
* The Arrange Documents icon also gives you several other arrangement alternatives that you can select directly.
* If you are in tabbed mode and you want to float a particular image, all you need to do is grab the tab and pull it down into the workspace. If you want to move it back as a tabbed document, just grab the title bar and move the image to the top of the workspace until you see the blue line.

Why is my right-click disabled to prevent me from selecting "open link to new tab"?

I don't always want to replace my current window with my new selection of a link address. The right-click menu opens fine in IE. Nothing comes up when I right-click on a link in Firefox.

There are also websites that can disable the right-click context menu.
Tools > Options > Content : JavaScript > Advanced > Allow Scripts to:
[ ] "Disable or replace context menus"

CS4 - Right click disabled. WHY???

In all of the previous versions of CS as well as Version 7 you could Right click anywhere on the top bar of a "floating" image and see options to do the following:
Duplicate
Image Size
Canvas Size
File Info
Page Setup
I cannot do the same thing in CS4. Why would they disable this option? Can we change it back to the way of the previous versions? If so how? Who do we complain to about this?
I am not a fan of the opening images into the window so all you see is the file number followed by the "X" so you have to go to "Window" then choose "Arrange" then chose either "Float in Window" or "Float all in Window". I like to be able to see all of my images and make a choice when viewing them as to which I am going to work with first. Can we make a permanent change to the way the program operates?
Thanks,
Al

Stage3D disabled in ActiveX Control?

Could someone shed some light on why Stage3D (and StageVideo) are disabled for non-IE ActiveX controls?
May be I am missing something obvious because both seem to have such valid uses in local applications; I had assumed Adobe was targeting Flash towards this area.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi Squall,
Thanks for posting!
It's the only browser that supports ActiveX but other applications in Windows can support ActiveX controls. For example embedding Flash Player in a Windows application using a C++ ActiveX control.
Flash used to have a few articles on it (a few years back) but they seem to have disappeared.
I can supply an example configuration if anyone's interested?

"an error occurred saving the activex control"

I'm trying to compile an executable in Labview 5.1. When I run the build app, it gets about half way done then pops up the error:
"an error occurred saving the activex control"
After clearing the error message, it proceeds to go through the motions of compling the app, but no exe is generated.
The design mode progam run operates fine, and it saves fine as well in design mode.
Thanks!

wawatts,
Though Brian and I got a broken arrow because we didn't have the necessary ActiveX component installed, I imagine you get no errors on the development system because you do have the component.
This problem would be much harder to pin down on your side given the lack of development-environment errors and the sprawling design of the main VI. One possible troubleshooting approach would be the LabVIEW Find functionality (Edit >> Find). ActiveX functionality typically involves the use of Property Nodes and Invoke Nodes, so if you search for any Invoke Nodes (Select Object, then Functions >> Communication >> ActiveX >> Invoke Node) in the scope of your main VI and its subVIs, you could perhaps have turned up some hits that take you to the subVI that has the control that is presumably causing the problem.
Unfortunately, I fear that finding the problem area doesn't solve the problem. It seems to me that either the LabVIEW app builder or the ActiveX component is doing something unexpected or nonstandard that is leading to the error message.
I'm going to stick to my "upgrade the software as much as possible" guns:
1. Install the LabVIEW 5.1.1 patch I linked to above, if it isn't already installed. There were fixes to the development environment and changes to the app builder that might resolve your problem. This is a free patch.
2. Consider upgrading the ActiveX control. I think that the latest version is called IntuiLink for 54600-series Oscilloscopes, Version 3.1, and it's available here on the Agilent site.
It was easy to do a simple test using your Xezgetsetup.vi on my system (LabVIEW 7.1.1, XP) with the updated ActiveX control. First, I installed the Agilent software. Then, I right-clicked inside the ActiveX control on the front panel of Xezgetsetup.vi, chose Insert ActiveX Object, and selected Agilent 54600 Scope Control from the list. Then I had to go to the block diagram and relink a few of the property and invoke nodes by just left-clicking on broken nodes and re-selecting the items that your code was already displaying. That fixed the VI so that it would run again.
Then I built that VI into an EXE and got no errors.
Perhaps all this proves is that you would have clear sailing if you upgraded to LabVIEW 7.1 and got the most recent Agilent ActiveX control--and maybe this is a good reason to bite the bullet and do that upgrade now--but it's certainly possible that you can do the same thing in 5.1 and solve your problem. Worth a shot.
Hope that helps,
John

Activex property right click help

Let me try to explain my problem again with more detail. I need to right click on an ActiveX property node, an example "FormFields (Index)" a variant, to find out how the value is setup for a drop down box in MS Word 2007. Help for ActiveX does properties do not show up from the context menu, although the property is clear listed on the menu, "Help for Item", the second string of properties from the left.
I discovered the "Item" is just a number that lists all Formfields in the Word document. Its used to select a Formfield but I was not able to bring up the simple help to inform me of the use.
Don't start ranting duplicate msg please.... An IE glitch prevented me from replying to post http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/activex-property-right-click-help/td-p/1283920 and page wound up creating a new posting....

Hi Richjoh,
The reason that you are not seeing the help is because LabVIEW does not have the help files for Microsoft ActiveX properties. LabVIEW includes the help files for LabVIEW properties, but not third party items. In this case, it would be beneficial if that help menu was hidden. If you think that this is something that that should be changed in LabVIEW, feel free to make your comments at www.ni.com/ideas.

Disable Right Click on Pop Up window

Does anyone know how I can disable the right click on a pop up window? Its an art site and the artists want their stuff protected even minimally. Heres my pop up code what do I need to add?
function popUpImage2()
    var popupimage = document.getElementById("image2").src;
    newwindow=window.open(popupimage,"POPUP","height=400,width=400");
    if (window.focus) newwindow.focus();

not 100% sure as it isn't tested but you could always do
function popUpImage2(){
    var popupimage = document.getElementById("image2").src;
     newwindow=window.open(popupimage,"POPUP","height=400,width=400");
    if (window.focus) newwindow.focus();
     newwindow.document.onmousedown = function(){
          if (event.button==2){
             alert("Right click disabled");
               return false;
That may work but it doesn't stop the person going to the file menu and clicking save so pointless really, you would be better off loading a dynamic php page with the image name in the query string.

How do i change the secondary click from starting up mission control to standard right click

Downloaded lion but i can't seem to changes the secondary click. The secondary or right click opens up mission control instead of the standard right click menus
Any ideas?

I had the same problem with my 2010 MBA. I plugged in a mouse and changed the preference on the right button to secondary click in the mouse preferences. For some reason it changed the setting on the trackpad from mission control to standard right click as well, even after the mouse is unplugged. So if you have a mouse you might try that. Hopefully Apple will fix this with an update.

Cannot install Activex control for WVC54GC / no puedo instalar Control Activex para camara WVC54GC

Hello everybody,
I log on the internet address for my camera, hit the view video link and after clicking on "install ActiveX control" I get a pop up security alert saying "Windows has blocked this software because was unable to determine origin". I have tha latest firmware installed and camera is working fine but I cannot access my camera from my laptop when I´m away due to this issue. Thanks in advance for your help.
Hola,
Cuando ingreso a internet y hago click en el enlace de "ver video" y luego click en "Instalar control ActiveX" me sale lugo un mensaje de: "Windows bloqueó este software porque no puede comprobar el fabricante". Gracias por su ayuda.

Before you try to install Active X Control on your PC, Disable the Firewall and Antivirus on your Computer, and then Lower down the security of your Internet Explorer.
Opend Internet Explorer....
Tools
Internet Options
Click on the Security tab
Under "Select a zone to view or change security settings" select "Internet"
Below click on "Custom Level"
Under "Download Unsigned Activex Control" Select "Enable"
Click Ok and again Ok.
Now try to View your camera, if you get that prompt to install Active X, then you need to allow it. Once installed Active X on your computer, you will be able to view your camera.

Logitech Mouse - Right-click won't show context menu - only app switcher

I use a Logitech MX 600 mouse. In LCC, I've set the Right Button to Click as the assigned action and Right Click as the action performed. When I click the right button, it shows the app switcher.
I can see the context menu if I Control - Right Click.
As an experiment, I programmed the Thumb Back Button to Click and the action performed as Right Click and it also shows the app switcher.
In this mode, I can see the Context Menu if I Control - Thumb Back Button.
I'd like to see the context menu with Right Click without holding down Control.
I'm running Tiger with Logitech LCC software.
Thanks,
bg

Get rid of LCC and use SteerMouse instead - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

For some reason, my compression option is grayed out under "File" menu, and when I select a folder with multiple files, or multiple documents, and try to right-click or tap the mousepad with two fingers, I do not get a "compress" option available. Help.

I don't know why, but when I select a folder with multiple docs contained within it, or multiple files, the Compress option is grayed out under the File menu, nor is it available when I right-click. Please help.

Yes it is, but I have the same problem of the option does not appear with "right click" (I'm actually control-clicking), and COMPRESS is grayed out under the file menu. I'd like to fix it.
Hmm. After finding the Archive Utility,* I tried archiving the folder. It came out as .cpgz, ugh. Found there was a preference to make .zip the default. It worked!
And now…the menus are not grayed out. ?!?! OK.'
Hope this helps someone.
*You cannot find this via search, apparently it is a hidden file, you have to click from the root drive through to /System/Library/CoreServices (Thanks for the file path Alberto!)

RIGHT click to change brush size, hardness and roundness

use imac i7, lion 10.7.4.
It seems that, in CS6 photoshop, I could RIGHT CLICK, and a small panel would drop down at cursor location, allowing me to change size, hardness, and roundness of the brush.
I have recently updated to 13.0.1. The technique described above no longer works, but I can't be sure that this happened after the update.
I may, as often, have screwed up a prefence checkbox.
appreciate ANY help
thanks,
vince

I didn't sense any change in the brush sizing mechanics with the 13.0.1 update.
With the Brush Tool selected, right-clicking in an image pops this dialog up for me:
And with Alt held down, right-clicking gives me interactive control of Diameter and Hardness:
