Tool Tip / GUI-script battle

I've got a slider that invokes a handler that performs some AppleScript GUI scripting ( ... unfortunate, yes, but there's no other way.)
The slider has a Tool Tip.
If I click and drag outside of the slider's mouseDown region, no problem. The GUI stuff works as expected.
If I drag inside the slider's mouseDown region, the ToolTip appears at it designated time, as if I were hovering. This causes a NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4 (1) error. Certainly makes sense that I'd get an error when the Tool Tip comes to the front. But I'm confused as to why it appears. None of my non-GUI related sliders have this problem.
Suggestions?
Here are a few other Tool Tip questions:
1) Can I increase or decrease the display length for all tool tips?
2) Is it possible to keep tool tips visible indefinitely while the user hovers the mouse over the object, closing on mouseLeave?
3) Can I toggle all Tool Tips to enabled or disabled?
Thanks, John

Just noticed: on another computer (a powerBook) I get the NSReceiver error at any click or drag. Cleaned all targets and got the same result.
I set a one second delay to make sure the GUI window gets time to come to the front but to no avail. There's a error at every click or drag.

GUI scripting question -am I sunk?

Hi all,
I am working on an Applescript to bring up two different non-Applescript-able applications (ie. ones w/o a dictionary) and am getting the error:
NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError : 4 from Applescript.
I have "Enable access for assitive devices" checked in SystemPreferences and am GUI scripting.
Here's the snippet of code that gives the error:
tell application "System Events"
if UI elements enabled then
activate application "TRx Recorder"
tell button " Record " of tool bar 1 of window "TRx Recorder"
click
end tell
end if
end tell
I generated the code "tell button ..." from the Prefab's UI Browser.
I've tried clicking via the name of the button, and via the position of the button. Same error.
Does this mean I'm sunk and can't get the app to respond to my Applescript?
When I select the Action of button " Record " from within the UI Browser, it works fine.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
Ed

Hi Camelot,
Yes indeed I needed a "tell process ..." block, as well as, 2 extra spaces in the label for the Record button.
I got the following to work:
tell application "System Events"
if UI elements enabled then
activate application "TRx Recorder"
tell process "TRx Recorder"
click button " Record " of tool bar 1 of window "TRx Recorder"
end tell
end if
end tell
I dug around using UI Browser and discovered that I needed 2 blanks in front of and 2 blanks behind of the label "Record" to correctly access the button. I originally had 1 space in front of Record and 1 space after Record within the quotes. With only 1 space I get the Applescript error I mentioned. With 2 I don't get the error.
Many thanks for the tip, it made me look closer at the labels of the buttons in UI Browser.

Hi,
We can use JavaScript to achieve it.
The following code for your reference:

I would like to see the actual email address in a Tool Tip when I mouse over the From address

I use Thunderbird to access my IMAP email account with a non-enormous ISP. Thunderbird is a great email client.
One thing I really miss when using Thunderbird vs. going to my email using a browser: in the browser, when I mouse over the From email address, a tool tip pops up showing me the actual email address, not the alias (or whatever it's called). Please see the attached image for an example of the mouse over tool tip. Is there a way to do this in Thunderbird?

more misinformation and urban myths here than facts.
1. Thunderbird blocks remote images by default.
2. Thunderbird does not allow scripts in mail. If they are there they do not run.
3. The only link SPAMMERS or anybody in marketing gets to you is when you download their remote images, run scripts in the mail or click on links to go to their web sites.
4. When I or a spammer send a mail to say [email protected] Most mail servers will refuse delivery unless the address exists on their server.
5. True spammers do not care if a large percentage of the mail they send is to dead email addresses and they make little or no effort to validate active addresses. Corporations like Walmart, Woolworths here in Australia, Ebay and Paypal are very interested.
With that knowledge, you are now aware that opening the mail tells a spammer nothing even in the remote chance they are interested.
Oh and the source of the urban myth is Microsoft whose mail clients allow scripting, remote images and uses the file extension of the file not it's mime type to determine how to open it.
That is the difference between a mail client where the developers think security first and one where the developers give the user what they want and try to tack on security after the fact.

My custom Tool tip on spark data Grid don't work ?

I want to add panel component as my tooltip for each row in my Spark DataGrid. So when mouse rollover the user can see the information for each the ship. I want a panel as my tooltip for dataGrid cause I want to organize my data neatly and also place a image in the panel.
I came across :http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf60d65-7ff6.html where they show an example of "Implementing the IToolTip interface" using the panel.I tried manipulating the codes but it didt work for my spark dataGrid.
So my question :
Can some one pls show me how I can use the Panel as my tool tip for each row in spark data grid.

SAP GUI Scripting Wizzard Windows7 does not work

Dear Experts,
I am quite a novice when it comes to SAP GUI scripting (let alone any other development), therefore my question might be rather stupid. After my PC was migrated from XP to Windows 7 it is no longer possible to use the SAP GUI scripting wizzard. When you select it from the menue, simply nothing happens.
Does anyone have an idea what I need to do to have this useful tool back on my PC?
We are running SAP GUi 7.1
Thanks for your help
Theo

Here is SAP GUI wizard replacement tool...its in auto IT - enjoy
http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/149540-sapwizardudf/
I had the tech guys here install , the latest GUI patch level 15,
and the script development tools not working issue has been fixed
They (SAP?) removed the 'script development tools' menu option!?
I have not installed the MS hotfix, but
My question is, it true the 'Script development tools' is gone?
Other methods
a) This (free) non SAP solution seems to work however...any other ideas?
Scripting Tracker Lite
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-32728
b) The Activate GuiXT tool in SAP GUI also does give you some clues in the element window
and could be an alternative way , to get control names.
eg a radio button is R[P_CONTROL_ID] when it should be radP_CONTROL_ID
c) The SAP script recording and playback , to a vbs script will give you the control names also, if you edit the script.
You must of course have GUI scripting on in rz11

Spry tool tip does not work in template or child pages within an editable region. Why not?

Ok. so I am getting pretty frustrated. I take the time to learn how to use CSS and to create a template page for a Contractor Site (www.ContractorInsurance.net). The idea is to create a page that I can use for different classes of Contractors...right?
Then I get all happy about being able to insert ToolTip onto pages to help the user. Great!
LIfe to turn to Sorrow after nearly five hours of searching for a "eeking" answer.
So what good does it do to have an Editable region to update if we cannot have the flexibility to insert a tool tip on child pages? Ok so the fast solution is to what... Have a question mark image, insert another apDiv, name it toolTip_Not and provide it with a show=hide behavior?
RRRRRrrr...
This really sucks not being able to find a solution within a reasonable amount of time.

I have tried thank you. However...it is still not working.
www.ContractorInsurance.net/course_of_construction.php
The error message is "Making this change would require code that is locked by a template translator"

If you have a look at the following simple document with a tooltipTooltip trigger goes here.
Tooltip content goes here.
you will notice that a couple of lines have been placed in the HEAD section of the document. When using DW templates, the HEAD section is usually not editable, hence the error mesaage. By default, your template should have an editable region in it just before the closing tag. It looks like this:  Dreamweaver should be able to find that editable region and insert the
<script> tag there automatically. Because you don't have an editable region like that in the <head>, open the master template, and paste the code above just before the closing </head>
tag. Gramps

JCOP tools without GUI

Hello,
i would like to know, what scripts is JCOP tools exactly running while building Java files (generating class files) and converting them to CAP files. I.e. what does "Build autoimatically" exactly do in ECLIPSE IDE with JCOP plug-in? What .jar files are also used?
I.e. i want to be able to rebuild my Java Card projects for different version os java cards without opening the Eclipse IDE, openning projects and building them in IDE.
I would appreciate nay information.
Thanks a lot,
best regards,
newbie.

Hello.
Thanks a lot lexdabear for your reply.
The post you've noticed above was very useful for me. I have solved the problem with tric.jar and also would like to add my 50 cents regarding some solutions proposed by Lillesand.
The error listed below can be simply avoided by explicitly declaring the whole name of the applet, i.e. -a 0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xA1:0xA1:0xA1:0xA1:0xA1 no.qfree.keyexport.KeyDiversification.
E:\tools\captest2>java -cp e:\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.bluez.jcop.eclipse_3.1.2\tric.jar com.ibm.jc.apps.tric.jc.Converter
-dd e:\tools\captest2\
-cp e:\workspace\KeyExport\bin\;e:\tools\java_card_kit-2_2_2\lib\api.jar
-ep E:\tools\java_card_kit-2_2_2\api_export_files
-a 0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xA1:0xA1:0xA1:0xA1:0xA1 KeyDiversification 0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xA2:0xA2:0xA2:0xA2:0xA2 StringStorage
no.qfree.keyexport 0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3:0xF3 1 0
Error: class java.lang.RuntimeException, no such applet class LKeyDiversification; found in package no/qfree/keyexportAlso my there are some facts that i have figured out during the usage of tric.jar through command line:
1. Eclipse IDE produces slightly different .class files than i do by using
javac -source 1.3 -target 1.2 -g options during the compilation. May be it uses additional options?
2. Perhaps, as a result, a bit different CAP files are produced that the ones built automatically using Eclipse IDE GUI. Those CAP files also slightly differ in size (usually smaller tha mines). The only components that differ in size are:
Method.cap
Debug.cap.
The files produced through command line work just fine. I guess, that JCOP tools may additionally optimize the .class files to produce a bit smaller .CAP files.
3. Regarding the version information JCOP tools tric.jar produces
CAP files with version M=2, m=1 when using JC211 API, and
CAP files with version M=2, M=2 when using JC221.
I also converted the same files uding JCDKv2.2.1. It produces CAP files of version M=2, M=1.
In my opinion, all the problems that occured in the aforementioned post by Lillesand were caused by wrong usage of the JC2.2.2 export files.
I totally agree with you, lexdabear regarding choosing only one solution. In case you are using JCOP tools (through GUI or command line) you must use JCOP JC API .jar files and tric.jar converter.
If you are using JCDK, you must use its api.jar library with export files and converter from JCDK (coverter.bat).
I hope this info might be useful.
Best regards,
Eve

Is spry tool tips supposed to work after inserting it in DW Cs6 ?

Is spry tool tips supposed to work after inserting it in DW Cs6 or am I supposed to get it from Adobe Labs somwhere. I get a message to GET but clicking does nothing.

Hi,
if you resist using DW tooltips you have to use one of the elder DW versions. So you can (from my German DW) > insert > Spry > Spry-QuickInfo.
From one of my elder websites I can give you the code (you have to adapt it). It will work, provided that you have hold your "SpryAssets" files/directory.:
<head>
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryTooltip.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
and
<script type="text/javascript">
var sprytooltip2 = new Spry.Widget.Tooltip("sprytooltip", "#sprytrigger2", {followMouse:true});
</script>
</body>

Currently the position of the tool tip depends on where the cursor first hovers over the image. Is there a way for the tool tip to appear in the same place no mater where the image is hovered?

Dynamic tool tip

Hi guys
I'm wondering if it is possible to have the tool tip for a dropdown box based on the entries in the drop down box.
so if the user could select "a", "b", or "c" from the drop down box, the tool tip would read "a / b / c"
I could of course type it out manually, but I have several dozen and a universal script would be much quicker.
Thank you

Hi,
Adobe have an excellent guide to "Calculations and Scripts", it goes back to v6 but is still applicable today. I can't find it on the Adobe web site so I will upload it.
It covers a lot of visual feedback script and is grouped by object type which is very handy. The information is probably available elsewhere, like the help file (but sometimes you need to know what you are looking for; in order to find it).
Anyway something like this in the exit event:
var vAnswer = this rawValue;
switch(vAnswer)
     case "a":
     DropDownList1.assist.toolTip = "You have selected A";
     break;
     case "b":
     DropDownList1.assist.toolTip = "You have selected B";
     break;
     case "c":
     DropDownList1.assist.toolTip = "You have selected C";
     break;
     default:
     DropDownList1.assist.toolTip = "Please select between a, b, or c";
     break;
Hope that helps,
Niall

OBIEE 11g : Tool tip on a report link

Hello All,
Is it possible to add a mouse over tool tip to a report link on a dashboard page (not on column heading) ?
The dashboard currently has descriptions for the report links to see what is the report usage and it is eating up a lot of space , the idea is to eliminate this notes section and provide information to the user so as to what the report is as a tool tip.
I have seen OTN threads on tool tips on to reports and column headers but I would like to just specifically add the mouse over pop-up to a report link that exists on a dashboard page.
Any suggestions , please advice.
Thanks,
-VS

There is a way using JavaScript, right now I dont have code to share with you.
Assuming your report name is "Summary Report", using JavaScript search for this "Summary Report" on dashboard and apply CSS script something like mouseover.
You may get code in pieces on net, try it out.
I too try to help you with code but take some time ;)

Tool tips/ java

Hi-
I am working on a form in ES with a submit button. I am currently having issues with people hitting submit more than once, because when the PDF is submitted it takes time, and they are not sure they have done it right instead of waiting for the confo page.
To fix this, I have entered a tool tip on my submit button, which does work, however... wondering if anyone has a simple script for either postSumit or on click that pops up a subform or other so that I can enter some large red "please be patient" text by my button.
Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry. My explanation didn't have much substance, did it.
Here's the idea:
1) change the submit button to hidden (let's call this button submitBtn)
2) add a second button (a plain old button) and label it "Submit" (le'ts call this button callSubmitBtn)
3) on the click event of callSubmitBtn, call the click event of submitBtn and set the presence of callSubmitBtn to "readOnly"
form1.page1.subform1.submitBtn.execEvent("click");
form1.page1.subform1.callSubmitBtn.presence = "readOnly";

Tool tip problem

Hi there
In CS3 when you converted an object to a button you could add a description (tooltip) whcih would then show up in the exported PDF.
In CS4 this feature has been removed (as far as I can see) and you have to use the form editing function in Acrobat. So subsequently if you have to re-edit your Indesign document you have to re-do all your tool tips again.
Does anyone know if the tool tip feature is in CS4 or a work around to this problem.
Many thanks

Do you mean the description as in
this older discussion? (And on the Mac side of the world.)
(D/L the mentioned script from
my site.)
Apparently, "Some Useful Features Have Been Removed".

Spry Tool tip on Tabbed panels

I am having a problem with the new spry tool tip widget. I
have a Tabbed panels table with 4 tabs. For some reason the spry
widget only works when I have 4 seperate div's with the tool tip
content and 4 separate js variables placed after the divs. One must
be on each tab. Is there any way to make it work so there is one
div and one variable creation on the page rather than 1 for each
panel?. heres how my code works:
<head>
<body>
<div class="TabbedPanels" id="tp1">
<ul class="TabbedPanelsTabGroup">
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="0">TAB
1</li>
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="1">TAB
2</li>
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="2">TAB
3</li>
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="3">TAB

Repeat two more times . You get the idea

Sorry i just kinda threw that together as a mock up
id="blindMe" becomes id="blindMe2" and so on for each subsequent
use. I had already checked for that. The same thing goes for the
associated script variable. It works as is, i just dont want to
have to duplicate it.
The problem is, if i remove all the duplicated divs and
scripts, then place that script and div on the bottom of the page
after the </div> for the tabbed panels div, the hover state
no longer works. Same is true if i keep it within the </div>
the only way it does work is if i duplicate it within each tabbed
panels content divs. (With different id values of course)
