Strange green outlines on components when pressing CTRL + mouse move

Hi All
I detected a strange behavior in my Swing application (Windows XP):
If I press the Ctrl key and move the mouse on the screen, every component gets an ugly green outline.
It stays as long as the app is doing the next repaint.
Any suggestions? Thank you very much!

Which is why I can't reproduce it in an other application.Well, then you compare your "problem" appliation with the "working" application to see whats different.
If you can't see whats different, then you use the problem application and start removing components and logic. That is remove one panel from GUI and see if it works better. If not then remove another panel. Eventually you will remove a panel and it will start working so you have isolated the problem.
If you remove all panels and it still doesn't work, then you have a SSCCE that you can post. We can't waste time guessing what type of components and listeners you've added to your program. Its up to you to remove all the clutter.

Empty printer dialog when pressing ctrl-p - need support

Yesterday i got this problem, when pressing ctrl-p the printer dialog is empty or it only contains empty buttons an radiobuttons and there is no text. Some days ago I noticed that my windows fonts looked strange.
ctrl-p works in all other programs like Word, XL, OO, PDF Architect just to mention some
Someone have an ideas?

This can happen if essential system fonts are missing or corrupt. If you are on Windows, try running the System File Checker from a Command Prompt:
sfc /scannow

How to avoid the pop up when pressing CTRL-SHIFT-DEL and delete the cache instantly?

When pressing CTRL-SHIFT-DEL an additional dialog arises. How do I disable it to gain the behaviour of FF 2.0 which deletes the history instantly by taking the settings of the "Clear history when Firefox closes" menu?

When pressing Ctrl+f to find something in a page the Find box remains open until I close it, in ALL tabs I have in the firefox window. How can I make firefox open the Find box ONLY in the tab I am in?

When pressing Ctrl+f to find something in a page the Find box remains open until I close it, in ALL tabs I have in the firefox window. How can I make firefox open the Find box ONLY in the tab I am in?

Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows. 
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
Another possibility is to use:

Xorg crashes when pressing "ctrl-c" - bug in xf86-input-evdev 2.1.0

like the title says ..
when i press ctrl-c (for example copying files in nautilus), xorg restarts. i'm using a config-less xorg like the poster in the second link below.
first, i get a gdm login screen - there i can enter my user, but after pressing enter it freezes/restarts again.
the second time, everything is ok.
this bug is already on the net here:
https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/sorc … 00829.html
and here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs … 90154.html
reverting to 1.5.3-2 .....
does NOT help.
reverting to xf86-input-evdev 2.0.7-1

Couldn't Apply Startup Project when Pressing Ctrl+Shift+B

Hi ,
I'm Using VS2010 , I have a solution that contain 2 Project , First project is my Windows Forms project , the second is the setup project .
Previously , with vs2010 when i have pressed Ctrl+Shift+B

can some one help me what to do , please ?

Hi Bin Ga3fer,
Open menu Build->Configuration manager, if you enable "Build" option for your setup project, it would have this result in default. If you just want to build the start up project, disable this option.

[Solved] Annoying context-menu appears when pressing ctrl+c

This is really getting on my nerves - whenever I highlight an url and press ctrl+c, instead of copying to clipboard this weird context menu appears.
No idea why this happens, but I want it to go away... This is not only in firefox, but system-wide (on gnome). Anyone knows what this is?

R60 shouts at me when pressing [ctrl+alt+backspace] in openSUSE

Whenever I try to restart the X server in openSUSE 11.3, as I like to do with the [ctrl+alt+backspace]-shortcut, I just get a loud *beep* from the onboard speaker and nothing happens. I tried booting into Windows and pressing the key combination, same thing.
Help?

Are you getting the same beep from Windows?Or is it only OpenSuse?
Every time I restart the system my 3000H system also gives me a loud beep from the board.Your X server might not be supported by the GPU which is causing the system to give out the beep sound..
Cheers and regards,

TOC - Receiving a "Cannot find the file named" error when pressing Ctrl+alt

When I generate a TOC, it comes out beautifully. However, when I press control + alt to check my links, I receive a "cannot find the file named" error message. This happens for the majority of the links. All of the files are present along with the graphics. Everything is in the same folder. They are saved on our network. However, I have packaged and copied the files to my desktop to see if that makes a difference. I am still receiving the same error message.
Has anyone seen this before? Any solutions in Adobe world? All help is appreciated.

>>> ... avoid using & in your document titles.
>> By that do you mean in your file names?
> Yes. That's correct.
That's not at all surprising. & is commonly found on lists of random "characters to avoid in directory and file names".
A comprehensive list of such characters might be impossible to assemble. Even though FM only runs on Windows these days, it could be in a VM on another OS (with its own restrictions, e.g. Mac), using a CMS (with its own restrictions) and working with virtual directories actually located on completely different operating systems (with their own restrictions, e.g. Unix, Linux/Samba, random cloud).
And then there are naming issues in the FM app itself (and other Adobe apps that might need to process the files, like Distiller), which apparently is the case for the comma problem (it may only pop up during render to PDF).

Why does mouse stop when pressing ctrl or shift

When using an 8175 controller and Windwos NT 4, the mouse will disappear and not come back if I use the shift key or the control key.

Hello,
I can't say that I have seen this issue before, but I would make sure that you have the correct drivers for your mouse, if it requires any. Some 3rd party mice need their own driver. Also make sure that there isn't a program that enables extra mouse features running that might be causing this behavior. Have you tried different mice? (PS/2, USB, etc) You might also want to upgrade to the latest version of the service pack for NT, I believe the most current is 6,

When I press CTRL+T it opens a new tab, but how do I get it to automatically switch over to this blank new tab?

In previous versions when pressing CTRL+T it would switch over to the new opened blank tab, in Firefox 5 this is not happening. It just opens a new tab to the right but doesn't actually go to this tab.. Any Suggestions?

Have you tried checking your Tab settings? Go to the "Tools" menu, then select "Options" and make sure the fifth check box down is selected. Here's a screen print so you know which one I am referring to.

Avoid window getting focus after pressing a mouse button on it

I want that a window does not get focus although I press a mouse button on it, in Windows XP.
I have search in Microsoft help and this fact is controlled by the Operating System itself. The notification that is sent after the user presses a mouse button is WM_MOUSEACTIVATE notification. The return value of this notification indicates the behaviour of the window after the mouse down, existing 4 options: MA_ACTIVATE, MA_ACTIVATEANDEAT; MA_NOACTIVATE & MA_NOACTIVATEANDEAT. The default is the first one, but I want to change the behaviour of the window to be the the third one: MA_NOACTIVATE, that does not activate the window, and does not discard the mouse message. The function that performs this is DefWindowProc according to the MSDN Help content.
Any help about doing this in Labview? Is there any special function in Labview that allows setting this behaviour to a window or should I use a Windows dll? In that case how can be programmed? Has anyone done it before? I'm working with Labview 8.6.1, and I haven't found anything about this. Any help will be very useful.
Thank you very much in advance.

It is the front panel window of a VI which I don't want to get focus. I have tried to achive this with property nodes, but the problem I think that cannot be solved in this way, because is the Operative System that gives the focus to the window when pressing a mouse button before Labview does anything. You can release the focus once the window have taken it with the Front Panel window focus property node, but what I really want is to keep the focus on the old window.
My idea is that the VI act as a background of my application, so never can be over the rest of the windows. Some of them are floating but others are standard and I don't want to use modal windows, so I cannot solve this with the Window Appearance options.
I have also tried to discard the mouse down in the Mouse Down? event, but I doesn't work, the window continues getting the focus although does not carry on any action.
Any suggestion?
Thank you for your interest

Revolve 810 G1 Unlock Computer when in Tablet Mode. Press CTRL-ALT-DEL or Windows Security Button

1. I have an Revolve 810 G1
Running Windows 7 Pro (64 Bit).
When I change the screen to Tablet Mode
(Folding tablet over keyboard and using as tablet).
I lock my computer.
2. What to know how to unlock without having to Open back up and use the CTL-Alt-DEL keys.
When Locked screen shows: Press CTRL-ALT-DEL or use the Windows Security Button to unlock this computer.
I would like to use the Windows Button on the bottom of the screen
(One Used in Windows 8 to change between Desktop and Metro) to Unlock screen And bring up on screen keyboard to put in my password.
This is probably how it should work, but it does not work.
Even bringing up the onscreen keyboard via the blue power button On the screen to Ease Of Access does not work.
The CLT-ALT-DEL on the on screen keyboard will not unlock the screen.
P.S.
Where is that Windows Security Button when you need it?
Thanks,
Rog

If you are using Windows 7 (not Windows 8), you should be able to touch the Ease of Access button at the lower left of the screen, then select Type without the keyboard (On-screen keyboard). When the on-screen keyboard pops-up, press CTRL, then ALT, then DEL. You should get a password prompt; the on-screen keyboard will stay visible unless and until you close it.

Whenever i press backspace, the same thing that happens when i press 'ctrl + shift + I' happens

Whenever i press backspace, it does the same the same thing as if i press 'ctrl + shift + i', and again the same thing as if i press 'toggle tools' from the web developer option under tools from the menu at the top of firefox. I'm not a developer, i don't need this console thingy, and wouldn't mind getting rid of it. I didn't install it on purpose, and i have no idea what made this start happening recently. It's getting INCREDIBLY annoying.

The backspace key shouldn't be opening the Console.

Press ctrl+sht+F9 from when button press trigger.

I am using oracle forms 10g. Is ther a way to press ctrl+sht+F9 automatically when user press button on the form? I have a window programm runiing on the window which has a hot key set as (ctrl+sht+F9 ) when user clicks button it passes certain values from oracle form and start program that is running.
I am able to pass the value to the program only problem is I am unable to press ctrl+sht+F9 automatically.

Not sure what you want to do.
I guess you want to base your BLOCK a_agents on the table a_agents and have a where clause {a_id is null}.
Open Forms
Go to Tools-> Data block wizard.
Select table or view
In the next screen select a_agents , select the column names(last_name etc...).
Go through the next steps of the wizard... should be fairly simple.
When you are done with it go to the object navigator.
Right click on the Block(a_agents).
scroll down to the Where clause, enter a_id is null.
I think this should work for you.
