STOP inactive windows from dimming itself!
How can I stop inactive browser or window from dimming itself while I am working on other application?
This feature is like HazeOver before OSX Lion, and now it seems it is implemented in LION and MT LION.
It is very very annoying and reduces productivity~
I need to be able to view references on browser or youtube clips while I am working on other applications such as WORD or PhotoShop~
But OSX just dim the browser when I am putting them at the background.
Please APPLE~ fix this or at least give users a choice to turn this stupid feature OFF!!
I solved the proboem. It turnes out to be my own problem.
I installed APP TAMER long time ago, and that is the program which causes the dimming problem.
If anybody else has the same problem, goto APP TAMER's perferances and turn off dim window...
Sorry for accusing OSX LION... my bad~~

How to stop Firefox windows from rapid fire opening.
When trying to go from Pandora to iTunes to purchase a song... the first window to open is the preview window. No problem. BUT, when i try to go from that window to the iTunes store a cascade of FireFox windows start to open rapid fire w/ no stop. Have to crash out and reboot the confuser to stop the window from continuing to open ad infnitium. This just started when i was asked to associate a program w/ iTunes for some reason... Maybe a new version glitch? I cannot find anywhere in options or preferences to change or stop FireFox from goin' wild. Help me... please...
It could be a bug in the Flash Player plugin, caused by the protected mode feature. This thread has the background on that and known workarounds: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].

Excel 2010 - Userform - VBA How to stop 'Job No' from duplicating itself on next empty row
Hi there
Thank you in advance for taking the time to check this out.
Objective:
To prevent duplication of incident numbers in the datasheet, and format the job number with a prefix of
Inc- at the beginning. I currently have the cell customization set to “Inc”General but that only inserts the prefix in the cells on the datasheet, but is not showing in the disabled textbox in the userform.
The Problem
I have a ‘Job Number’ that is generated each time the form is opened and when the ‘Save’ button is clicked the data from the form is transferred over
The job number is generated from the previous entry +1 (auto incrementing the old fashioned way).
The problem arises when the ‘Save’ button is pressed repeatedly, the same job number and data is duplicated on the datasheet.
Is there some way to ensure that the number generated is unique, and if the ‘Save’ button is repeatedly pressed that it will just over-ride the existing information?
The number format currently used is 20150003 (incremented by 1). But what I’d like to be displayed in the form is
Inc- 20150003
The following code is in the form_initialize procedure.
Me.txtSEC_INC_No.Enabled = True
Dim irow As Long
Dim ws As ws_Incident_Details
Set ws = ws_Incident_Details
'find last data row from database'
irow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1) _
.End(xlUp).Row
If ws.[a2].Value = "" Then
Me.txtSEC_INC_No.Text = 0 ' If no value in Col A, it will return a 0
Else
Me.txtSEC_INC_No.Text = ws.Cells(irow, 1).Value + 1
End If
I’d be really grateful if someone could help me out, or perhaps direct me to where I might find some coding that will achieve the result I am seeking.
I have just uploaded the latest version
My Sample form is linked to my Dropbox so you can see how it currently works (or doesn't work)
With much gratitude,

Hope you have a terrific day, theShyButterflyI am striving to improve my VBA but ... I am far from anywhere near in understanding the code that you have in your file. I feel really bad in saying that, but I am not a pretender, and will acknowledge when I am over my head.
I was thinking "simplified" :) ...
Don't worry, also Rom wasn't build in a day. :-)
I already answered the question about the duplication of the Job number in this thread:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/de-DE/52f3c62f-b26e-4573-b7c2-8e7203786d7f/excel-2010-vba-userforms-vlookup-via-textbox-display-result-in-another-textbox?forum=exceldev
So let us talk a little about the TAG property, thinking "simplified" and how to save the data:
Most people start with code like this when they start there first Userform:
Cells(MyRowNumber, 1) = txtBoxA
Cells(MyRowNumber, 2) = txtBoxB
etc. many many lines till
Cells(MyRowNumber, 56) = txtBoxWhatEver
And then, after Version 1.0, they realize that they also want to load data from a row into the form. And they copy all the lines and exchange
the parts before and after the
"=" like this:
txtBoxA = Cells(MyRowNumber, 1)
txtBoxB = Cells(MyRowNumber, 2)
etc. many many lines till
txtBoxWhatEver = Cells(MyRowNumber, 56)
And maybe you have another 56 lines to "clear" the Userform, and maybe more lines... over 150 lines just for this... that is really tremendous.
I will not be
too harsh,
if it works, then
it's okay.
But often many people struggle when they look into the code because, which column in the sheet is written by this line?
Cells(MyRowNumber, 56) = txtBoxWhatEver
I've often seen that people change the code to this:
Range("A" & MyRowNumber) = txtBoxA
Range("B" & MyRowNumber) = txtBoxB
etc. till
Range("BD" & MyRowNumber) = txtBoxWhatEver
which is more clearly, but you must revise
150 lines!
And that is the point for the TAG property, which is in fact just a string. So when we write the column name ("A", "B", etc.) into the TAG property of a control, you can change the code to this:
Range(txtBoxA.Tag & MyRowNumber) = txtBoxA
Range(txtBoxB.Tag & MyRowNumber) = txtBoxB
etc.
And now the 1st trick, we can use a loop and visit all controls at once:
Dim C As MSForms.Control
For Each C In Me.Controls
If C.Tag <> "" Then
Range(C.Tag & MyRowNumber) = C
End If
Next
And when we want to load data from a row into the form, it's the same, just the other direction:
Dim C As MSForms.Control
For Each C In Me.Controls
If C.Tag <> "" Then
C = Range(C.Tag & MyRowNumber)
End If
Next
And to clear the form is also the same:
Dim C As MSForms.Control
For Each C In Me.Controls
If C.Tag <> "" Then
C = ""
End If
Next
So we can remove over 150 lines and do the same with just the 18 lines above.
Isn't that a simplification?
Think about that for a while.
Ready for the next trick? ;-)
As the TAG property is readable and writeable we can use Sub UserForm_Initialize and save a lot of manual work:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Me.txtBoxA.Tag = "A"
Me.txtBoxB.Tag = "B"
'etc. till
Me.txtBoxWhatEver.Tag = "BD"
End Sub
No time to waste,
here comes the next one. ;-)
In your file, you can have named ranges, but always have headings! And so we can get the column name e.g. from a named range:
Me.txtBoxWhatEver.Tag = GetColumnName(Range("WhatEver"))
Function GetColumnName(ByVal R As Range) As String
Dim S As String
S = R.Address(1, 0)
GetColumnName = Left(S, InStr(S, "$") - 1)
End Function
Or you can use Range.Find and search for the header int the sheet and get the column name directly.
The benefit is that your form works even when the user change the layout of the sheet!
Simple
as it gets
(almost).

Since updating (my TB was a few versions old) to 31.2, the preview window automatically gets focus when I move up/down the message list. I'm assuming this is a new "feature". Is there a way to shut this off and leave the focus on the message list so I can navigate up/down like before?
You are referring to the 'Message Pane' which displays selected opened emails below the list of emails. It is not a 'preview'.
When you select an email by either using mouse to click on an email in the list or using the arrow keys to select emails up and down the list, you are selecting an email to open and read. That is why it is being opened in the Message Pane so that you can read it.
If you select an email in the list and then cllck anywhere else including in the Message Pane, then you will have moved focus away from the list and the strong highlight on email in list is reduced to paler highlight.
When you click on an email in the list, the email becomes highlighted, at this point you can use eg: arrow keys to move up and down the list.
If you are performing single left click on email in list and then do nothing else and the strong highlight auto changes to paler highlight.
Check you do not have a conflict with an addon by starting Thunderbird in Safe Mode.

Stop finder window from automatically opening at desktop
Everytime I drag something to my desktop, whether it be a photo or a link, it automatically opens the Desktop finder window. I have not changed any settings, it randomly started happening.
I have the same problem, and it's not only with the desktop, if I drag something to any folder on my desktop or folder on sidebar, that folder opens a new window. Now I recently upgraded both Chrome and itunes. It's not a big issue, but sometimes it's annoying.

Stop log window from appearing instead of connection entry
Good afternoon all.
I have a install that has a preconfigured file in it. When the install has completed, the VPN dialer initiates with the log file as the default window instead of the connection entry window that most folk want. I recall a corrective action to this in the .pcf file, but I cannot remember exactly what it was. Can anyone send a link for this correction or is there a quick fix?
Thanks
Dwanehello, this is usually caused by adware on your pc.
please run a scan of your system with [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & also manually check that you don't have any suspicious entries like 3rd-party-toolbars presently installed under ''firefox > addons > extensions'' (adware like babylon also might install some unwanted stuff that comes under the names "Browser Manager", "Browser Protector", "Bprotector", "Object Installer", etc.) or in the windows control panel > programs section.
afterwards install the search reset addon - it will revert the most common customziations those adware programs do in firefox back to the default: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

How do I stop my my inactive files from floating BEHIND my active CS6 window in Mac?
I have CS6 and when working on different images, the inactive images go to behind the photoshop window and do not stay in the front. This is very inconvenient when I want to drag these images on top of active images to create layers. How do I stop these windows from 1. floating and 2. going behind the active window. I am working on a mac.
I can be reached at Skype: rcarolwaldman or email: [email protected]
ThanksThe way I do it on my Mac is go to Window > Application Frame to make sure that my interface is full-screened and all opened files are tabs. When I want to drag something onto my working file I click on the appropriate tab and with the Move tool selected and the Shift key pressed I drag the layer up to the tab for my working file. When it pops open I drag the tool towards the center and release to add the image on a new layer.
If you'd prefer to have all of your open documents visible at the same time you can choose a viewing option by pressing the Arrange Documents button at the top. I find this useful when I'm painting from reference photos. Since they are all open it's very easy to drag from one to another. -
Way to stop window from resizing when zooming?
Hi there.
Is there a way to stop the window from resiging when zooming in/out of my Photoshop documents?
What seems to happen to me, like, hundreds of times a day is the window keeps resizing when I zoom in and out and much of it goes behind all my palettes. So I drag the resize handle to shrink the window only to have it resize again the next time I zoom in or out.
I couldn't find a preference for this. When I used to work in Photoshop for WIndows I could have sworn that the window never changed size unless I specifically resized it...
Thanks!Son-of-a-b....
I swear I looked there a number of times... I swear.
Thanks.
