Show Windows contents while dragging disabled after standby

I have noticed that the option "Show windows contents while dragging" gets disabled after I close the lid to put the machine into standby (hibernation disabled) and then open it again. Does anyone know what to do in order do disable that annoying feature?

The way to solve this problem, is demonstrated by the following code:
JDesktopPane desktopPane = new JDesktopPane();
desktopPane.putClientProperty("JDesktopPane.dragMode", "outline");This will then set all of the internal frames to outline mode when the frames are dragged instead of sluggishly drawing the components with the internal frames when dragged.
Hope this helps

Disabling 'Show window contents while dragging' also disables window snap - is there a workaround?

When I disable 'Show window contents while dragging' in Performance Options, it also automatically disables the ability to snap windows the left and right and corners by dragging them. I have an older computer, and disabling this really improves the performance,
but I'd really like to keep the ability to snap the windows around, as it's one of my favorite features.
Is there a way to just disable showing window contents while dragging without disabling the window snap feature?

Hey there. I've been trying to figure out why my snap wasn't working, and this is the only post I've found that mentioned it.
I found snap wasn't working on my machines sometimes and realised it happens after I start an RDP session which disables the "show window contents while dragging" option, but then doesn't seem to enable it properly after the session ends.
When I check the option, it is already ticked, so I need to untick and re-tick, then apply and snap starts working again.
I don't know if there is any connection with the "Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen" option under the mouse ease of access settings.
It does seem like a new issue though as it doesn't happen under Win8

'Show JInternalFrame Contents While Dragging'

hi,
I have a question I have an application that has internal frames, Basically it is a MDI Application. I am using JDK 1.2.2 and windows 2000. The question is that when you go to the desktop right click properties and in Effects tab you uncheck the 'Show Window Contents While Dragging' checkBox. Now when I run my application and my parent window that is a frame pops up, if I drag the window i.e. my parent frame it doesn't dragg the contents onlt thw windows border is dragged, means it doesn't repaints that is fine. But when I try to drag one of the internal frame it shows me the contents inside the internalFrame being dragged too and I don't want to see these contents while internal frame is being dragged. So how can I make my application not to show the contents inside the JInternalFrames not to be shown while dragging the JInternalFrame. Any help is really appreciated.
for an example I have added a code example to see the effect that I got from the forums just for an example to show. If you have unchecked the option 'Show Window Contents While Dragging' in Effects tab when you go to the desktop right click properties and the Effects Tab or in the controlPanel dblClick Display and go to Effects tab and uncheck this checkBox. Now run this example and see when you drag the main window contents inside it including JInternalFrame doesn't get dragged just the boundry of the dragging frame is shown. Now if you try to drag the JInternalFrame. Contents inside that are dragged too. And I don't want this behavior. I don't want to see the contents.

Hide Window Contents While Dragging in OB3?

I know it was possible with OB2 (session.screen0.opaqueMove: False) but is there a hidden command somewhere that does the same thing in OB3?
Maybe it has something to do with the <drawContents> command?
Thanks.

hi
I am sorry my description was not so precise as it should be.
Our applications use MDI window system manager where the document windows always are displayed within the MDI application window frame.
An Application window is OK. Problem is with the document windows.
Only a frame of a document window is moving while I am dragging it to some other position by the mouse.
The content of the window appears at the new position when a mouse button is released.
This behaviour is new for me at web based forms. The same operation acts differently at the old application (client/server forms 6i).
A dragged document window is moved with its content.
regards
Petr

Xcode - show contents while dragging, scrolling

I have a new 13" rMBP with Xcode installed. So far no problems, except...
there is no animation when I drag items, or scroll or resize the application. For example, when I scroll a list inside Xcode, the cusor moves but the list doesn't move until I stop scrolling. Also, if I drag a button it doesn't show up under my cursor and move with it. Instead it appears only after I place it. Additionally, if I resize or move the Xcode window, it doesn't show it moving with my cusor. It only updates its position after I stop moving.
And to be clear, I'm refering to the Xcode application, not one built with it.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
All other programs behave fine.
Thanks

The way to solve this problem, is demonstrated by the following code:
JDesktopPane desktopPane = new JDesktopPane();
desktopPane.putClientProperty("JDesktopPane.dragMode", "outline");This will then set all of the internal frames to outline mode when the frames are dragged instead of sluggishly drawing the components with the internal frames when dragged.

CS6: How to display image contents while dragging/resizing?

CS6 Illustrator, Windows 7 64bit
Hello all,
I'm a IT tech trying to help out one of my users, so I am not proficient in Illustrator by any means. With that being said, I was wondering if there is a way to display the contents of an image while you are dragging or resizing the image?
Thanks, Shaun

It should already show the outline of all the shapes while moving or resizing. As far as I know, you can't see the full color image while doing transformations. It would be unusably slow for some images.

Under Windows 7 - Fingerprint Reader Ignored After Standby Resume

I thought this was perhaps a platform-specific issue. But both on my ThinkPad T61 running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit and my new ThinkPad T510 running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit, whenever I resume from standby, any finger swipe against the fingerprint reader is ignored.
Note - I am not using the rather large Lenovo fingerprint driver package because I don't want the bloat. Just want a very basic, Ctrl+Alt+Delete password prompt replacement.
Does the "Registry patch to change IDLE IRP timing by Fingerprint reader driver for Windows Vista" need to be installed under Windows 7 (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67245)?

i didn't know the lenovo fingerprint driver package was more than just a very basic, Ctrl+Alt+Delete password prompt replacement? (at least not that i noticed)

Updating window components WHILE dragging the mouse

How do I update a whole window (JFrame), including it's components, during the following scenario:
1. mouse pressed - on any of the window's boundaries
2. mouse moved to a final position.
Currently the components of the window do not change until i stop moving the mouse.
I can't yet find an Event for clicking the mouse on the window's borders.

Hi,
Windows NT Authentication type Disabled after Insatall SAP Integration kit
Best Regards,
Reddeppa K

NT auth is not an option on a java app server it is only an available dropdown in client tools and IIS (.net) deployments. This means in 3.x it will never be available for the CMC and only available for infoview deployed on IIS. On top of that it should not be used with any of our supported versions of AD The plugin is deprecated and will be removed from the next version of our product. Use the AD plugin it can connect to anything the NT one can and much more.

Window blank when I click "Show Package Contents" in Pictures folder

Long story short, I have two iPhoto libraries - one on an old laptop and one on a new MacBook Air (10.6.4). I have been trying to copy the old iPhoto library from the old laptop to the new laptop (so that I would be able to access both libraries on the new laptop by holding down option when starting iPhoto and selecting one or the other).
I copied the old iPhoto library into the "Pictures" folder on the new laptop. Then I did some ill-advised tidying up (I know, I know, I'm an idiot) in that "Pictures" folder. As I understand it, inside "Pictures", there should be an "iPhoto Library" folder but that has now gone. In fact, there is nothing in "Pictures" at all. When I right click on "Pictures" and select ""Show Package Contents" I get a blank window.
I have the two iPhoto libraries (old and new) elsewhere on my hard drive - in a folder I created in the home directory ("Pictures 2" > "iPhoto Library"). iPhoto can read the two libraries from there no problem. But I cannot drag and drop the libraries into the "Pictures" folder, where they should be, because I get an error message: "You can’t open the application “Pictures” because it may be damaged or incomplete". When I click on "Pictures", it doesn't open in Finder but iPhoto opens up showing whatever library I used last.
Someone on the iPhoto forum suggested that I post this problem here: "That sounds very like the Pictures Folder has had it's Execute bit set and the Mac now thinks it's an application. The solution to this is a trip to the Terminal. Post this here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1339 and someone will give you the Terminal commands to fix that." So I'm hoping that someone here can help me out!
Let me know if you need any further info. The other thread is here:

Many thanks.

I'm having the same exact problem. I have an older macbook pro and I was trying to copy the iphoto library to my new imac. I was stupidly messing around with the pictures folder on the comp when things weren't migrating correctly, then it suddenly changed from a folder to a package and I got the same error when I tried to delete. Any suggestions?

Clicking on "Show All Content" Closes Window

I am working through an issue with a web-based learning tool. When the player launches, a banner appears across the bottom stating that "Only secure content is displayed" with a button labeled "Show All Content". When I click on the
button, the entire player window closes. I know how to get rid of the warning and have applied a group policy to a set of computers and that works fine to get rid of the banner. But my question is: Why is showing all of the content - secure and not secure
- forcing the window to close?

Hi,
Please share your IE and OS version?
In addition, have you checked this KB article?
