Selected Items: Full Color Icon, Not Just Highlight?

I've taken the Total Training for Encore CS4,
and I get the concept of a highlight when a menu item is selected.
I'm trying to make a full-color icon appear beside the button which is selected,
instead of a one-color icon with the color from the Encore color sets.
There must be a way to do this, but I can't find it.
Thanks.

Yes, AI = Adobe Illustrator - sorry.
As you can see the navigational chart will be involved. That is why I suggested maybe doing it in AI, or a flowchart program. I'd start on paper with a pencil, and then move it to something where I could move the blocks (Buttons) around freely, until I had it done.
This is not a limiation of En, as has been pointed out, but a limitation of the DVD-specs. At least there is a workaround.
Also, be a tad careful when creating this type of navigation, if you're going to also be distributing to users on computers with software DVD players. Buttons will NOT Auto-Activate on a computer. The user will have to basically click their way around, and sometimes this is not really intuitive. They will have to click on the Button on the "real" Menu, and it'll link to the dupe Menu with the graphic. OK, so far. Then, they'll have to click that Button again to activate the real Link to the Asset. Again, a limitation of the DVD-spec and also the implementation of navigation in software players (really a security thing).
Good luck. These can be visually very effective and adds a bit of a Flash feel to the whole thing, but is a lot of work. You'll be spending a bit of time in Photoshop creating the dupe Menus from your real Menus. BTW, it's a lot of fun too.

Is there a way to shift select multiple objects in layer palette, not just highlight multiple object

Hi,
Is there a way to shift select multiple objects in layer palette, not just highlight multiple objects?
I would want to do this when I have a bunch of objects hidden under some other objects on the artboard. This feature is available in PSD, so I assume Illustrator should have it.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, Harron.
I'm using CS4 & below.
Highlighting object - click on object in layers palette & it turns blue
Select object - click on object in layers palette to the right of the circle, which creates a square, and selects the object on the artboard
How do I shift-select multiple objects in the layers palette...select 50 objects with a click, then a shift-click? Shift-select works for highlighting, but not selecting. On most programs shift-select is used to grab a bunch of stuff...:0)
In the past I have inadvertently selected multiple objects in the layers palette, by somehow alt?-dragging over the layers...or something...I can't re-create it.

How do you add full folders and not just individual files in the new itunes?

How do you add full folders and not just individual files in new itunes? i just reformatted my HD and went to add all my music and it's only letting me add files not folders!?!?

"Add Folder to Library" is still in the file menu, but you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the file menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look. But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

When I export to PDF, the black text is printing in full color instead of just black

I have Pages 09 (version 4.0.5). I am exporting a document to PDF and emailing it to a copy shop for printing. The document has a color cover, and 36 pages of black text inside. The copy shop is telling me that the pages with black text are printing as color pages instead of black and white pages. I need to figure out how to get them to print black to keep costs down. Is this a problem with my file, with the PDF export, or with their print settings?
Things I've tried...
1. Using the color palette, I have switched to the color sliders mode and changed all the text to CMYK with 100% black and 0% everything else. I have also tried changing it to grayscale with 0% brightness. Neither of these seemed to have an effect.
2. I downloaded the trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro and converted the PDF to grayscale. This worked, but it's only a temporary solution.
Any other ideas?

Peter,
It's a pretty safe assumption that your average Joe isn't using text styles, but in this case you're talking to a guy who has worked as both a prepress technician and a graphic designer in a former life. I just don't have all the software of the trade at this point in my life. If I did, I sure wouldn't be messing with Pages and Preview. Although overall I'm pretty impressed with them, considering what they are.
Anyway, I am using text styles and I made sure to update them all. The PDF still came out with the rich black color. I have a feeling Pages' PDF exporter automatically converts all black to that four-color rich black on the assumption that you'll want it. I wouldn't care, especially since I'm just printing at a copy shop with no special quality requirements, except that we're printing hundreds of these things every week, and the full color prints more than double the cost.
Thanks for the help, guys! It looks like filtering the PDF through Preview will do the trick. If anybody can confirm a way to do this directly in Pages, I would appreciate not having to go through the extra steps.

Printing XML report (with report.xsl stylesheet) shows font colors, but not table highlight colors

I am trying to print the XML report generated by TestStand to a PDF in order to archive it. When the XML report is rendered in Internet Explorer, everything looks fine -- Sequence names are highlighted in teal, Pass is in green, Fail is highlighted in red.
However, when I print this page to a PDF (using BullZip PDF printer, or even the XPS printer), all of the table highlighting is gone. The UUT Result in the header is red or green font color depending on the pass/fail state, but sequence names and any formatting applied to tables within the body of the report have no highlighting.
Is the stylesheet altering what is rendered when the XML file is printed?
This is the output when viewed in IE
This is the output when viewed as a PDF printed from the same file viewed in IE.
Thank you,
Matt
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey Matt,
This is actually because of a default setting in Internet Explorer to not print background colors on webpages. To change it, simply go to the Page Setup screen (on IE9, you click the gear icon, then Print > Page Setup) and select the option to print background images and colors. After doing this, the printed report should contain the colors you see on your screen.

How do i set spark list selected item's color??

hey guys... so got a little problem... i have a spark list which gets populated from a array collection that looks likda like this
[0] = "name1"
[1] = "name 2"
[2] = "name 3"
when i click on say "name 1" i need the color of "name 1" to change to say red...
and when i click on another item i need that color to stay... red on "name 1"...
oh and... i need to do the color change in actionscript rather than the mxml file...
any ideas???

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for. What I did was created an itemRender for the list and assigned it like so
<s:List dataProvider="{ listDataProvider}" itemRenderer="listItemRenderer"/>
And the listItemRenderer will look some
//Code Begins
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:ItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                          xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                          xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
                          focusEnabled="true" >
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            var clicked:Boolean=true;
            protected function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
                    clicked?labelRender.setStyle("color","0x00FF00"):labelRender.setStyle("color","0xFF0000") ;
                    clicked=!clicked;
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <s:Label id="labelRender" text="{data}" color="0xFF0000" click="clickHandler(event)"/>
</s:ItemRenderer>
//Code Ends
In the above example the colour toggles on each click. So, you can apply anything. assume you have a property called color in your array collection, you can access it as data.color and then set the text to that color when it is clicked. I hope this helps. Do write back if you have any issues.

Is there any MSI GE70 Keyboard Full Colorful Backlit?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this but I have a regular MSI GE70, 17 in, i7, windows 7, with a NVIDIA Geforce and I was wondering if anyone know if steelseries or MSI is selling any MSI GE70 Keyboard Full Colorful Backlit? Just the keyboard itself, I really want a light up keyboard without buying a new laptop. I want to replace my non-backlit keyboard with a full colorful backlit keyboard.

Quote from: bob515 on 29-October-14, 09:40:24
I think I have the older version. I'm not sure though, On my laptop, it just says GE70, I believe I got it around sept 2012? I forgot. So there is no possible way that I can install a light up keyboard then? :(. I don't mind if it's single color anymore.
I will be perfectly honest.
I'm not certain. I cannot remember if the GE70's at that point in time COULD come with a backlit keyboard or not.
I WANT to say that they didn't. But I cannot say that with 100% certainty.
If you look at the barcode on the bottom of your laptop or on the box, it should say something along the lines of GE70 XXX-XXXUS for the model number I believe. If you could list that, it would help narrow it down a little bit.

CheckBox Group Get Selected Items

Hi, I have a problem with a CheckBox Group.
I have different items in the CheckBox Group, and I get the items that are selected.
When I do the checkboxgroup.getselected () returns the selected items, but I do not know how to get the values separately.
I tried to do:
ArrayList array = new ArrayList ();
array. add (checkboxgroup.getSelected ());
but in the array.get (0) add all the values. And I need:
array.get (0) -> first value selected checkboxgroup
array.get (1) -> second value selected checkboxgroup
array.get (2) -> third value selected checkboxgroup
Thank's !

How to make a listbox selected item highlight color from code the same as if user click on item?

Hi all,
I have a listbox that gets filled with data when my program starts. I save the last selectedItem value so I set it when the program start again. But the color that the selected item has is not the same as if the user click on it (pictures below).
The color when I set the selectedIndex=someItem is black on light grey (background)
The color when the user clicks on the item is white on blue (background)
Any way to make them both white on blue (background)?
Thanks
This is the user clicking on it:
This is the code:

I think the difference is focus. When you use the mouse to select it also sets focus to the listbox so you would have to set focus to the listbox when you set the selected item. How are you setting your selected item? I think that by
using a property to hold the selected item rather than setting the index that might also fix the problem.

Windows Phone 8.1 xaml, c# ComboBox does not display selection when first item is selected from full page list.

I have 3 comboboxes on a xaml page and most of the time when I select the first item on the full page list displayed when the number of items are > 5, the screen returns to the combobox and the box is blank. The combobox.SelectedItem is valued but it
does not display. This does not happen every time and I have seen this using the emulator and my windows 8.1 phone. If I select any other item in the list they always display but when I go back and select the first item the box is blank.
Does anyone know what I could be doing that is causing this?

Thanks for your help. When I run the code below and the page is displayed, I select an item from the page list and it displays fine and then I select the first item from the page list and I do not see that selected item in the box.
If I remove the SelectedIndex=0 it all works fine except I do not have an item selected for the initial display. Below should show problem and should work copy/paste in universal blank app.

State Change causing tree item to loss selected item highlight

I'm looking for some guidance on a situation i'm encountering. I've an application with a tree component which will be used as a report selector in all view states. The parent nodes are not selectable but the children are. Each child has a for a lack of a better term parameter classification. When a report item is selected in the tree then a state change occurs and displays the appropriate parameter selection view.
My issue is this. Upon clicking an item and displaying the new state for the first time, the selected item in the tree losses the visual representation or highlight around the selected item. But within the debugger it still shows which item is the selectedItem. Once the state has been displayed at least once...i.e. I select other items and then eventually back to initial tree item when the state changes it does not loss the highlight on the selected tree item.
Couple things I've tried to see if i'm in the right neck of the woods is use the currentStateChange and currentStateChanging handlers to do a bit of tracing and found that the tree item remains selected all the way through both currentStateChanging and then even in the currentStateChange...the redraw occurs just after which is when the tree item losses its highlight.
Does anyone have any ideas or even encounter this?

Good question. Well you're right in asking. Just using a spark Label to show me the label of the selectedItem, upon the first time I click on the selection nothing populates the label's text BUT the state changes as its suppose to. Took me clicking on it a second time to get the item to be highlighted and the label to show me what had been selected.
My question here is...is there another event which is occurring after the changeState?

Custom Item Type Icon not displayed

I have created a custom Item type from the base File type for PDF files.
I have asociated a PDF Icon with this type.
When I create folder object of my new PDF Type, my Icon does not ever seem to show up.
Why?
I must change the image associated with each item (secondary tab). to get an Icon to show up.
Why?
null

Stuart,
According to the help text:
"Currently, this icon is not used by Oracle Portal. The icon may be used in future releases."
But, if you want to show it, you can use a procedure in the custom item type to display the icon. Just find the URL to the icon (in Internet Explorer, right click on the icon and select Properties to get the URL) and write a simple procedure to display it. For an example of a custom item type procedure, see the discussion at http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum82/HTML/000379.html .

Tree Control Highlighting Programmatically Selected Item

Does anyone know whether it is possible to highlight a programmatically selected item in the LV Tree Control, eg I have used the "Get Child" method to select an item - how do I then highlight this item on the tree?

Yes, you can write the value to a local variable for the tree control. This will have the effect of selecting the item--which will highlight just ike the user clicked on it.
By the way, "Get Child" doesn't select an item in any sort of useful sense--it just tells you what the child is. Actually, it tells you what the first child under the indicated Parent is.
