Text - Auto Scroll Function

Does my iPad have an Auto Scroll for Safari?
Is there a "hidden" feature that I can use for reading a text with Safari?
An automatic scroll (activated by an command) would be a comfortable function.
I don´t want to use an App.
Thanks

Tap and slide up to scroll. Tap and flick up to move faster.
There is no way I know off to have the screen automatically scroll.
The iPad has many security features to prevent malware attacks. One of these is called Sandboxing. This keeps each app in its place and prevents apps from altering the system resources or other apps. So no other app will provide the auto scroll functionality to Safari.

Text-input component with auto-complete functionality for mobile

Hey guys,
I wonder if there is a text-input component with auto-complete functionality optimized for mobile development with AIR like the one that Android provides natively as you can see here http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/AutoCompleteTextView.html and here http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-autocomplete.html.
At least I didn't find it in the latest SDK and I think such a component is pretty standard nowadays. Or did I simply overlook it?
Thank you guys for any advice.
Regards,
Thilo

Hi relaxtraja,
thanks for your reply!
I knew that there are a lot of auto-complete scripts on the web. What I was hoping was, that Adobe provides an officially supported auto-complete component optimized for mobile as part of the SDK (like in the Android SDK as I pointed out), but that doesn't seem to be the case. It's sad, because it's an essential part of modern UIs in mobile applications.
I've already created an auto-complete component by myself based on Spark components and I will end up using it. But I will have to optimize it for mobile applications beforehands. I just think something this essential should be provided by the SDK.
However, thanks for posting!

I copied the actual scroller and put it in my .fla and it
worked! Now if I can only figure out links in XML...

Auto-scrolling of list view in Finder windows sometimes doesn't work

I've noticed a minor bug in 10.4 that doesn't seem to show up in 10.3.9, and I thought I'd comment on it here because it's mildly annoying, and I'm not sure that anyone at Apple is aware of the issue.
My Pictures folder is pretty large -- I have over 6,000 items in it, some of which are themselves folders. I've got this folder set to list view. My typical usage pattern is to open a Finder window for my Pictures folder, start typing the first few characters of a file name, and then search from there. In 10.4.3 and later (up to and including 10.4.6 as of this writing), if the file in question is outside the viewport of the Finder window, the thumb on the scrollbar will jump to the correct location, but the actual viewport won't scroll to match; therefore, the file that gets highlighted isn't visible.
The work-around is to manually scroll the contents of the window so that I'm "closer" to the file I'm looking for; alternately, I can type characters to get the ball rolling, and then hit the up or down arrow key a couple times (once won't do the trick) which will force the viewport to jump to the correct scroll location. Using this second method, I then have to move the selection back to the file, which is annoying since it's forcing me to use extra keystrokes.
Interestingly enough, if I am careful and click on the scrollbar thumb without moving it too much (after typing the first few characters of the filename I'm looking for), the viewport will usually "snap to" the appropriate position. This suggests that the logic to auto-scroll the contents of a Finder window got subtly broken between Panther and Tiger. It just seems weird to me that the scrollbar thumb would jump without the viewport following suit automatically.
This wasn't a problem in 10.3.9. I realize that we're being encouraged to use Spotlight and other search features, but since my pictures directory is already an alphabetic list view of files, why should I be forced to do a Spotlight search when I know what it is I'm after?
Dual 2.0 GHz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I've been having the same problem (though I haven't looked at the console yet to verify the same exact error).
There doesn't seem to be a situation that I can identify to cause the problem (i.e. waking from sleep mode), so it's difficult to reproduce consistently. The error seems to happen randomly. Last night I was getting the error every time I sent a single message. So I'd create and send a message, and then the next message I'd try to create or reply to, I couldn't. I'd have to quit Mail and start it again to gain functionality.
When I do have the problem where the compose window isn't created when replying, I also can not start a new message, note, or forward a message. Basically, no new windows can pop up besides the windows that are already there in Mail. When I quit mail, every window I tried to create by replying, making a new message, or forwarding, appears in the draft folder, just before the program closes. Then, the next time I open Mail all the windows appear that I tried to create, with no text in them. Very strange. Looks like this poster has a similar problem.

I'm curious if this is a bug, or something our machines just can't handle? I see that we all have very similarly spec'd PowerBooks.

Text auto-correct grabbing words from gmail / etc.

I'm not sure if this is a Gingerbread issue, but this is a problem that I was introduced to when I got my Xperia PLAY.
The on-screen QWERTY keyboard lends itself to frequent typos. Since I started using the Xperia, the auto-correct dictionary has been automatically synced and populated with various words that it apparently grabbed out of my gmail, email, contacts, address book, or elsewhere. This includes names, segments of email addresses, already misspelled words, etc.
This has made the auto-correct function useless on my phone, and makes text messaging a convoluted and futile chore that' I'd simply rather not do.
For example, when I'm trying to send a text to someone asking them, "what time?" -- I commonly typo "time" as "timr."
Now, auto-correct on my Xperia always wants to change "timr" into "TimeBomb4321" -- which is a segment of an email address out of my address book.
And, there's apparently no way to turn this off.
There's no way to toggle this under "Accounts & sync."
"User Dictionary" under Settings only includes words that I have manually added to it.
HOW DO I FIX THIS???

Hi chuckk,
I understand the importance of having a streamlined text experience. I would suggest deleting some of the auto-saved words from the dictionary. Settings>Language & Keyboard>User Dictionary. Press on hold the word you no longer want and the select delete. I am hopeful this information is helpful. Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Thank you for your contribution to our community forums,

Auto Step functionality in Oracle Forms?

Hello,
I am testing Captivate for possibility to capture test
scenarios for testing in Oracle. I know Captivate has the ability
to create auto steps from Internet Explorer to automatically create
captions that contain text describing your actions.
Is this functionality available in Oracle Forms? I have
tested it many times and Captivate seems to only be able to create
auto steps from the browser and not create any from Oracle. It
still captures everything properly, but not the auto steps. We are
planning on printing these steps for ease of the user, and thus
would like to have the steps in writing as well.
This is what the Captivate Help file says about Auto Text:
"Use the AutoText Captions feature to automatically create captions
that contain text describing your actions. Customize the
appearance, size, orientation, position, and display speed of
captions, including font, size, color, and text formatting. Before
recording, choose the caption type and language, or create and
import your own caption style. Adobe Captivate 3 generates caption
text in many languages."
Thanks a lot.
-Zeb

Welcome to our community, Zeb
At first, you really bowled me a wobbly with the description
of "auto step functionality".
It's been my experience that Captivate's ability to properly
recognize elements of an application are pretty much hit and miss.
To be honest, I'm surprised that it does as well as it does. But
that's with normal desktop applications. Toss in something that's
browser based (as your situation seems to be) and I'm surprised it
works at all.
I'm sort of stabbing in the dark here, as I'm not an
application programmer. But I'd guess that what is happening is
Captivate is only sensing an object in the browser and it has no
idea as to how to interpret the fields and whatnot that make up the
object.
I know it's a nice feature when it works. However, I do hope
you are aware that you aren't limited to what Captivate gives you
with this. You are totally able to insert your own Text Captions at
any time on any slide by clicking Insert > Text Caption.
Cheers... Rick

How scroll through a list of items in list box with code in C# winforms to create auto scrolling

I am new to programming and I have been tasked to create a form to display information in list box controls on a big screen. The list boxes have to show all data by auto scrolling through all data row by row then start again at the top once it has displayed
all data. Is there a way to do this automatically in code using a timer? I look all over the web and have not found any way to do this in win win forms. Is it possible?
Thanks

Here's the c# code
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace WindowsApplication13
public partial class Form1 : Form
System.Timers.Timer timer = new System.Timers.Timer();
int position = 0;
public delegate void delegateUpdateListbox();
public Form1()
InitializeComponent();
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
timer.Interval = 1000;
timer.Enabled = true;
timer.Elapsed += new System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler(timer_Elapsed);
void timer_Elapsed(object sender, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
position += 1;
if (position == listBox1.Items.Count)
position = 0;
delegateUpdateListbox deleg = new delegateUpdateListbox(updateListbox);
this.Invoke(deleg);
void updateListbox()
listBox1.SelectedIndex = position;
As long as the listbox's SelectionMode is set to "One" (the default), you don't have to do anything to un-select the previous item.
For your secnd question, the code inside the timer checks whether the position is the same as the length of the contents of the listbox and resets its value to zero, so that the selection will go back to the first item in the list.

Can I force middle click to exclusively activate auto scrolling only?

I don't want the middle mouse button to do anything except auto scroll. I don't want it to paste, open new tabs/windows, or close tabs/windows ever no matter where i click. When trying to auto scroll over a link (ex. wallpaper galleries), firefox opens the link in a new window. As far as I can tell, I have all relevant settings and about:config options set correctly for the function i desire.

Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''about:config'''''.
If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter '''''mouse'''''
and press enter. At this point, '''DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ! ! !'''
Just look around and if you see something useful, ask about it.

Had this problem for quite a while but found a work-a-round. I click anywhere in the text I want to delete and insert any character. I am then able to block and delete any text I want to. It's been working great.

Clear the auto complete function of Mail addresses? Désactiver la saisie semi automatique des adresses Mail sur iPad?

Je ne souhaite pas que les differentes adresses pré-utilisées s'affichent quand je veux taper une adresse mail et envoyer un nouveau message. Comment désactiver la saisie semi automatique qui m'affichent ces différentes adresses? ex: si je tape la lettre "p" j'ai 4 adresses qui sont pré-sélectionnées et je ne veux pas ça.
Merci d'avance
I don't want the email addresses used for previous sent messages to show when I input the first letter of the desired receiver of the message. How can I disactivate the auto complete function of the mail addresses? i.e. when I type the letter "p", I don't want the 4 addresses starting with "p" to show.
Thanks.

If you erase the iPad completely, (erase all content and settings) the addresses will go away, but they will return again as soon as you start sending emails again and entering text in the To: field. And you will have to set the iPad up all over again.
If you reset all settings - they will not go away.
Erasing the device is pretty radical and it is only a temporary fix anyway. The suggested email addresses window will always pop up when you start entering text into the To: field and there is no way to deactivate it.

Auto-scrolling doesn't work when JFrame is not visible

Hi, I have auto-scrolling implemented for my JTextPane that sits in JScrollPane - which lives in JInternalFrame. It works as excepted - as long as my application's JFrame is visible. When the JFrame becomes invisible, auto-scrolling simply doesn't work anymore.
I've overcame this by scrolling down in "windowShown", but it's ugly because the user can visually see the scroll down when using this workaround (it jumps).
I guess this is Swing's optimization, but I would really like to overcome it in someway. But it seems I'm not enough a swing hacker to do it.
One thing to note is thtat, the auto-scrolling works fine when the JInternalFrame is NOT visible, but frame is.
I've tried to override the isShowing-method of JInternalFrame, with no luck.
Here's my scrolling method:
public static void scrollDown(JScrollPane scroll) {
          JViewport port = scroll.getViewport();
          Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0, port.getViewSize().height, 1, 1);
          port.scrollRectToVisible(rect);
          JScrollBar bar = scroll.getVerticalScrollBar();
          bar.setValue(bar.getMaximum() - bar.getModel().getExtent());
     }Anyone have ideas?

At some point I had really hard time getting the auto-scrolling to work, as I got these weird little bumps after scrolling down.
Adding scrollBar.setValue() seemed to 'just fix it'. It actually seems to be superfluous now.
The scrolling is already wrapped in SwingUtilities.invokeLater() - in conjuction with printing text into the JTextPane and it works OK.
I had some wrong info in the first post, the viewport actually does get scrolled down even when the JFrame is not visible. And by visible I mean JFrame.setVisible(false) - my application has a minimize-to-tray feature, which hides the JFrame.
So I think the problem is 'just' a repainting problem. When the frame is shown, the previous scroll location is first displayed, and then a repaint is triggered that causes the 'jump down'.
I'm not still sure how to fix it though.

SimpleChat auto-scrolling problems

I'm using the default SimpleChat pod (from LCCS SDK 1.2.5) and am experiencing two different problems when the chat window has enough chat messages that it has to scroll:
This always happens: When I try to manually scroll to the bottom of the chat history, the scroll bar won't stay all the way down. Then one of the following things happens:
1) If a new message comes in, it's not shown in the chat history window. I have to scroll manually because the scroll bar is not "stuck" to the bottom.
2) If a new message comes in, the chat message window auto-scrolls to the top of the history (the oldest messages), also leaving the most recent message at the bottom (having to scroll to see it).
Any advice?

Hi,
There was a bug on our side which was fixed recently and would be updated in the next drop of the SDK.
I am giving you the fix. You need to make the following change in your SimpleChat.as and link your project to the source files instead of swc. Once the next drop of SDK comes in, you can continue back to using your swc.
You need to update the onHistoryScroll function in SimpleChat with the one below
          protected function onHistoryScroll(p_evt:ScrollEvent):void
               if ( p_evt.detail == ScrollEventDetail.THUMB_TRACK ) {
                    _detachedScrolling.reset();
                    _detachedScrolling.start();
Don't forget to do      import mx.events.ScrollEventDetail; on the top else you will get compile errors.
Hope this fixes your problem
Thanks

How to auto scroll from top to bottom on JTable ?

HI All.
At the current, I use JTable is contained JScrollPane. Now, I want Jtable auto scroll from first item to bottom and when JTable scroll to bottom then Jtable will scroll bottom to top, It is loop. Who know how do this function, please help me.

Thanks for reply
Actually. I was code -> scroll from top to bottom on JTable. Code below But when JTable auto scroll then screen is not smooth.
Please help How to workground for this problem
private void scrollTopToBottom() {
 try {
 JViewport viewport = flexGrid.getViewport();
 int heightViewport = viewport.getViewSize().height;
 while(moveY < heightViewport) {
 synchronized (this) {
 while (suspended)
 this.wait();
 if (stopped)
 break;
 moveY += 10;
 if(moveY > heightViewport) {
 moveY = heightViewport;
 viewport.setViewPosition(new Point(0, moveY));
 try {
 Thread.sleep(500);

JScrollPane Auto Scrolling for Teleprompter

I am working on a piece of software to scroll text for a teleprompter. I have a class that scrolls the text that is in a JEditorPane nested in a JScrollPane. Here is the class that scrolls the text:
package teleprompter;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
public class Scroll extends Thread
    JScrollPane scrlMain;
    public Scroll(JScrollPane scrlMain)
        this.scrlMain = scrlMain;
    public void run()
        int iPos = scrlMain.getVerticalScrollBar().getValue();
        for (;;)
            iPos += 5;
            scrlMain.getVerticalScrollBar().setValue(iPos);
}My problem is that it is not a consistent, smooth scroll so that someone can read it. It is real jumpy, sometimes it will jump an entire page. For now, the speed of the scroll can be changed by making the 5 in "iPos += 5" a higher number.
Is there a better way to do an auto scroll that is not so inconsistent and jumpy that anyone can think of?

One of the characteristics of a teleprompter (at least in most Western languages) is that new text is always likely to appear at the bottom so, rather than worrying about scrolling, why not either:
(a) Set the scroll value to 100% and add new lines to the end as and when required, or
(b) Maintain the text array yourself and simply display it in a fixed area.
It seems to me that the same technique could also be combined with text animation to display a line at a time.
However, as I say, I'm no GUI expert, so feel free to laugh...

Satellite laptop touch pad scroll function

Greetings, New to the site, new to any kind of forum. Looking for advise. I have a Satellite laptop L300, I don't have a mouse, I just use the touch pad. (this is a brand new PC to me) Every once and a while while moving my cursor on browser or email application, the the pointer turns into an up/down area and the screen auto scrolls. I'm not sure how I am turning this feature on, but I'd like to know how to disable it? Also, is there somewhere I can download an owners manual for this laptop?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Mark

I figured out how to disable the scroll function.
Buried in some settings...
Thanks.
