Selecting objects on the clipboard
Hi,
I have a program that draws circles on a JPanel.
Now I'm trying to cut/ copy/paste these objects.
I know I first need to select and object (a circle in my case)
That is, get the system clipboard and then select an area/object
My question is, how do I select an object?
I have a popup menu that comes up on right clicking the mouse
so I want the object that contains the current mouse coordinates
to be selected.
I'm out of ideas how to do this.
Thanks in advance,
Gk
I also read somewhere that only text can be selected or put into the clipboart.
Is tthat true?
How then do we add objects to the clipboard?
Thanks again,
Gk

HELP!! Unable to select objects with the selection tool
Not sure if I accidently hit a key that I wasn't supposed to, but the selection tool stopped working the way it should. When I put the cursor on top of an object and click the mouse button, nothing happens. Also ctrl A doesn't work. Any suggestions? I've shut down and restarted and that didn't work.
grooveslapp,
To keep previously selected objects selected, ShiftClick the following ones.
If Ctrl+A does not select anything, and if no selection appears in the Info palette (select Objects in the flyout), something else is the matter, and it may be time to Move the folder -

JTable Double-Object in the clipboard
Hello together,
this is my first posting here.
I've a JTable with Double-Objects. The Double-Objects in the JTable Cells are shown in the
Format *1.000,99*. I used a Renderer to Format the Value in the Cells.
If I use the STRG+C to Copy the Table Cells to Clipboard, the Values lose the format and the above Value is shown as follows:
*1000.99* in the Clipboard.
How can i tell Java that it use the rendered Format *1.000,99*
Greetings
CharlyIn My TableModel the Value is in Double-Type. How can i manipulate the String Representation. Here is the The Model-Class
public class JDBCTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {
Object[][] contents;
String[] columnNames;
Class[] columnClasses;
String sql;
Boolean[] editierbareSpalten;
public JDBCTableModel(){
super();
contents = new Object[0][0];
// AbstractTableModel methods
public int getRowCount() {
return contents.length;
public int getColumnCount() {
if (contents.length == 0)
return 0;
else
return contents[0].length;
public Object getValueAt(int row, int column) {
return contents[row][column];

[Cp] Select object from the timeline and move it on slide with cursor keys ?
Hello,
I don't know if there's a shortcut for this :
Sometimes, it's easier to select an object from the timeline but if you try to use cursor keys to move it, you're in fact moving IN the timeline.
Is there a way to switch to Slide edition ?
Thanks.
PJYou can not only use the cursor keys, but also in combination with other keys. And indeed, you have to move the cursor over the stage:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/shortcut-keys-part-1-moving-and-resizing-obje about shortcut keys for the stage

There is a list with shortcut keys in the Help, but not complete. -
How do I jumping from an object selected in layers to that object on the artboard?
I'm working with 27 artboard in illustrator for one project. I would like to select the object I need to get to in my layers panel and have illustrator "jump/navigate" me to the object where it resides on the artboard. Is this possible?
This was a feature in Freehand which was a multi-page vector program that allowed you to zoom to the selected objects in the view menu. I don't see this anywhere in Illustrator CS6. You could try this as a feature request but that doesn't help you now. I'm sure there have been more then a few people who have had to make the move from Freehand to Illustrator who requested this feature.

Webutil_file_transfer url_to_client places objects in the Java Cache
Hi,
I'm using webutil_file_transfer url_to_client to download a PDF file.
Once I downloaded the PDF file, it is visible in the Client Java Cache Viewer. When I try to run the download again webutil takes the PDF from the Cache instead taking the newer PDF from the Server where the URL is pointing to.
So the URL I passing is each time the same, but the PDF file on the Server is getting updated very often.
I don't usethe WEBCACHE port!
My question now is. Can I avoid webutil to put does PDF file in the Java Cache on the Client. Or is there any utility to remove selected objects from the Java Cache.
Does anybody have a Idea how to avoid such a behaviour?
FatihHi Craig,
with the help of Oracle Support, we found the reason and also a workaround for this issue.
The real cause:
By default the java applet parameter DefaultUseCaches is true an all files downloaded within an applet is going throug the Java Client Cache.
WEBUTIL does not touch this parameter, so it keeps staying default (true).
Solution/workaround:
With the methode setDefaultUseCaches it possible to disable/enable the default Cache setting.
So it's possible to disable the cache with a small Java Bean running in Forms, which disable the Cache before WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER and enable it after the successfull download.
here is an extract of the bean code:
URL u = new URL( "http:" );
URLConnection uc = u.openConnection();
uc.setDefaultUseCaches(false);
thank you for your time!
regards,

'select objects: click and drag to select several objects' doesn't work
I have recently upgraded to Office 2010, and have the same problem as
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/office2010/thread/75270638-e02b-4a78-b291-043abbca04ae?prof=required
When I use Select - Select Objects in the Editing part of the ribbon to select multiple drawing shapes, it no longer works like in office 2007. I can't drag a rectangle in the document to select objects within an area.
I would have guessed this is the same problem as the link I refer to, but I'm not running the beta version of 2010. It seems not to be solved.
Anything I can do to fix this?I have just registered so I could reply to this thread.
The registration process was very ... aehm ... frustrating, I was only able to fill in the correct Captcha after about 10 ties. But ... this is not unexpected, when working with a Microsfoft product. How am I supposed to know whether that bloody captcha
wants me to to write '4Yp8' or '4yP8'. There is no way to tell. You can distinguish capital letters when it is something like A, a or H, h, but not between y and Y or P and p.
I would like to thank all the posters for suggested workarounds. They work. Kinda - sorta ... . I was able to finish the editing of large picture (consisting of many graphics objects) that HAS to be made in word (My boss said so). All your tips saved
me *hours* of frustration.
I would like to tell Microsoft programmers AND their managers, that *if* the quote in the second post is correct:
================
The work needed to make the object selection work as it did in Word 2007 was out of scope for this release. It's not as
simple as using the same feature that existed in the last version since we upgrading our graphics/art features; the way the shapes/objects need to be selected is different than how "old" graphics/art is selectable in Word 2007.
That said, the "select object" tool that exists in Word 2010 should allow you to select individual shapes. You can select
multiple shapes holding down the CTRL or SHIFT key while clicking shapes. You might ask how this is different than selecting shapes without turning on "select objects"; the answer to that would be to allow you to select shapes that are "behind" text, or more
easily select rotated shapes, etc.
================
You are bunch of incompetent amateurs.
If I used such lame excuse for missing important functionality at work, I would be very soon replaced by a more competent programmer.
This time I am not a programmer, I am AN USER. And, as an user I do not care if your internal data structure for new objects doesn't let you do something easily. Find a way to implement that feature or change the data structure. Period. -
Turn off center selected object in view
If I am zoomed in 500% and select an object, it centers it in my view, and sometimes it will select the object and move it, just by clicking on it. Is there an option to turn this off?! It's VERY frustrating when i'm trying to move things to s specific place. Here is a video.
I know this behavior but as this only occurs on high zoom levels it's not a problem form me.
The only way to avoid this I know about is to select objects in the hierarchy tree not in Design view. -
I have created a graph, now I want to copy the entire thing to a new document. I used the following code. Even visually you can see it selected everything in the document, but when it pasted to a new document, it only pasted what's left on the clipboard, not everything as I wanted.
What's wrong here? Does it have anything to do with grouping? See code below.
Please help! Thanks.
Dim oCurDoc As Illustrator.Document
Set oCurDoc = oApp.ActiveDocument
Dim iPageItemCount As Integer
iPageItemCount = oCurDoc.PageItems.Count - 1
Dim vItems() As Variant
ReDim vItems(iPageItemCount)
Dim oPageItem As Object
For Each oPageItem In oCurDoc.PageItems
Set vItems(iCnt) = oPageItem
iCnt = iCnt + 1
Next
oCurDoc.Selection = vItems
Dim oNewDoc As Illustrator.Document
If oApp.Documents.Count > 0 Then
If TypeName(oCurDoc.Selection) = "Variant()" Then
oCurDoc.Copy
Set oNewDoc = oApp.Documents.Add(aiDocumentRGBColor)
oNewDoc.Paste
End If
End IfYes, I tried to group them first by
Dim oGrp As GroupItem
For Each oPageItem In oCurDoc.PageItems
Set oGrp = oCurDoc.GroupItems.Add
Set oPageItem = oGrp.PageItems.Add
iCnt = iCnt + 1
If iCnt > iPageItemCount Then Exit For
Next
oCurDoc.Selection = oGrp
But the selection is always "empty" - nothing been selected. Why?
Thanks. -
Hello,
I’ve finally managed to deploy my first guest cluster with a shared VHDX using a service template.
So, I now want to try and update my service template. However, whenever I try to do anything with it, in the services section, I receive the error:
Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job. To find out which job is locking the object, in the jobs view, group by status, and find the running or cancelling job for the object. ID 2606
Well I tried that and there doesn’t seem to be a job locking the object. Both the cluster nodes appear to be up and running, and I can’t see a problem with it at all. I tried running the following query in SQL:
SELECT * FROM [VirtualManagerDB].[dbo].[tbl_VMM_Lock] where TaskID='Task_GUID'
but all this gives me is an error that says - conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier msg 8169, level 16, State 2, Line 1
I'm no SQL expert as you can probably tell, but I'd prefer not to deploy another service template in case this issue occurs again.
Can anyone help?No one else had this?

I am unable to remove a host from my Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2. I receive the following error:
Error (2606)
Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.
Recommended Action
To find out which job is locking the object, in the Jobs view, group by Status, and find the running or canceling job for the object. When the job is complete, try again.
I have already tried running the following command in SQL Server Management Studio
SELECT * FROM [VirtualManagerDB].[dbo].[tbl_VMM_Lock] where TaskID='Task_GUID'
I received this error back:
Msg 8169, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.
I have also tried rebooting both the host and the Virtual Machine Manager Server. After rebooting them both, I still receive the same error when trying to remove the host.
Here are my server details
VMM Server OS = Windows 2012 Standard
VMM Version = 2012 R2 3.2.7510.0
Host OS = Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter
Host Agent Version = 3.2.75.10.0
SQL Server OS = Windows 2012 Datacenter
SQL Version = 2012 SP 1 (11.0.3000.0)Hi there,
How many hosts are you managing with your VMM server?
The locking job might be the background host refresher job. Did you see any jobs in the jobs view, when the host removal job failed?
If there is no active jobs in the jobs view when this host removal job fails, can you please turn on the VMM tracing, retry the host removal, and paste back the traces for the failed job (search for exception and paste the whole stack)?
Thanks!

Create a new object that surrounds the selected objects
Is there anyway in illustrator to create a new vector object from selected objects?
IE if i have three rectangles selected, can I make a new vector path that surrounds them all.
I dont mean welding a group of vectors together or offsetting a path...which isnt exactly what i need.
What Im needing to do is create cut lines around complex vector art quickly.
Thanks in advance.Mike i need to make an outline around a logo but if the logo has many elements that make up the edge of the logo does that method work?
As the cut line needs to be a closed path
Ideally i want to avoid tracing around the logo with the pen tool or add to shape area in pathfinder tab.
I sure theres a really easy way to do this.
Kurt its an interesting discussion however in need a closed path to surrond artwork and live paint does just the opposite :)
