Unable to set menu target items correctly

Hi,
I have an issue when I try to set the target items in menus.
(Excuse the long explanation)
Firstly let me explain what I am trying to do.
I have 4 pages which are linked to each other that provide more detail for each page. Page 1 shows the highest level of summary i.e product category. Select a category and then link to page 2 , the sub-categories page, select a sub-category and link to page 3, the products page, select the product link and link to page 4 showing associated customers for product.
I have created a menu and displayed it as a bread crumb.
Home > Categories > Sub-Categories > Products
When navigating back up the menu structure it works fine. The problem happens when I place on Page 1 (Home) a top 10 product chart with links directly to page 4. You can only specify target items in the menu from one page to another. Level 4 menu (Products) sets the right sub-category item for Level 3 (Sub_Category) but the Level 2 menu targets (Category) are not set because I have jumped over the levels.
Any ideas how to set the targets on all menus from the last menu when jumping over the sequence.
Thanks,
Burke

Can you provide a bit more context? What tool are you developing this GUI in? Is this an Oracle Forms app, a custom Java GUI, a series of JSP pages?

The guys may have a better suggestion but I had the same problem and solved it by having a onload computation or a process on page 4 that set the values of items in pages 1,2,3.

Unable to set tooltip for item (sap.ui.core.Item)

sap.ui.core.Item does not have the property 'tooltip'. But it borrows 'tooltip' property and setTooltip( ), getTooltip( ) methods from sap.ui.core.Element.
Still, if I set the tooltip for item, it is not reflected. What might be wrong?
Consider the following piece of code for example:
var item = new sap.ui.core.Item({text:'Item'});
item.setTooltip('tooltip');
var oCollection = new sap.ui.ux3.Collection({ items: item
var oCollectionInspector = new sap.ui.ux3.CollectionInspector({
'fitParent' : false,
'collections' : [
new sap.ui.ux3.Collection({
'title' : 'My Accounts',
'items' : [ item]
oCollectionInspector.placeAt('content');

Tooltip is applied on the Item, but it seems Collection Inspector set its own tooltip for the Item. You can do something like this to set your own tooltip,
var item = new sap.ui.core.Item("myItem",{text:'Item'});
var oCollectionInspector = new sap.ui.ux3.CollectionInspector({
'fitParent' : false,
'collections' : [
new sap.ui.ux3.Collection({
'title' : 'My Accounts',
'items' : [ item]
oCollectionInspector.placeAt('content');
oCollectionInspector.onAfterRendering = function(){
sap.ui.ux3.CollectionInspector.prototype.onAfterRendering.apply(this,arguments);
$('#myItem').attr('title','My Tooltip');

Just bought a new mac mini, wireless keyboard, and track pad. My track pad will not synch. All advise I have been given is to change items in the setting menu, but I cant because I still have to get through the setup!!

Just bought a new mac mini, wireless keyboard, and track pad. My track pad will not synch. All advise I have been given is to change items in the setting menu, but I cant because I still have to get through the setup!!

The power button for the Trackpad is on the right hand end of the battery case. Press that button to initiate the pairing process. On the top of the Trackpad just above the power button is a tiny green light (you probably cannot see it unless it is lighted). That light will indicate ehther or not the Trackpad is discoverable. If the Trackpad has discoverable the green light will blink on and off. If it does not pair within 3 minutes you will have to press the power button again to re-initiate the pairing process. Once your Trackpad has paired, you can just leave it on and it will pair automatically when you reboot your Mac.
If you are having problems pairing, try turning off any other Bluetooth devices within 30 or so feet of your Mac mini. That includes other Computers, iPhones, iPads, etc. that may be in the area. Once your Trackpad has pairedwith your mini, you don't have to be concerned about other Bluetooth devices.
One other hint, I find that although the Wireless Trackpad does not eat batteries as fast as the Magic Mouse it still uses more than the Wireless Keyboard. It is a good idea to keep a supply of AA batteries around. I have used Apple's Rechargable batteries, but found they did not last that long before needing to be recharged. I have had the best battery life from Duracell Quantum batteries.

Firefox 4 Menu Bar - When I hover over or select a menu bar item, the menu bar sub-menu becomes transparent and unreadable. Is this a known issue that can be corrected with an update or is it functionality that is not designed to work with this version?

Firefox 4 Menu Bar - When I hover over or select a menu bar item, the menu bar sub-menu becomes transparent and unreadable. Is this a known issue that can be corrected with an update or is it functionality that is not designed to work with this version?

If this happens on monitor 2 of 2, this problem has been solved here:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/794823#answer-157988
Go to "Firefox"--> "Options" --> "Advanced"
Then un-check "Use hardware acceleration when available"
While not verified, I believe this problem is due to an SLI configuration where the focus is on monitor 1. (I.e acceleration is available, but only on monitor 1.)

This is a user to user support forum. We are all iphone users just like you.
You are not addressing Apple here at all.
This is an odd way to ask your fellow iphone users for help. Berating oterh users will not help you.
"it's too fragile"
No it is not. i have never damaged one, nor has anyone I know.
" U loose data when Ur phone is locked"
No you don't. Why do you think this?
"and there is no customer support!!! "
Wrong yet again. Apple has an 800 number and they have many retail stores and they have support articles that you can access using the search bar. Or you can contact them throgh express lane online
"but I will go back with Blackberry "
Please do.
Good ridance

Menu Bar Items Missing after Safari 3.1 update

Installed Safari 3.1 and restarted; menu bar items Time, Date, and Volume icon are now missing, and Safari 3.1 and Mail crash on launch. Trashed com.apple.systemuiserver.plist and restarted--no difference.
Tried reinstalling the 10.4.11 PPC update and Safari 3.0.4 and Mail now work, but menu bar icons still missing. System Preferences for these items stick, but nothing appears in menu bar. This seems to be a recurring issue with Mac OS X, but Apple isn't helping people by telling them how to fix it, or changing their updates so it doesn't happen to begin with.
Ideas or suggestions to fix this are appreciated.

What are permissions?
Every file and folder on a Mac OS X hard drive has a set of permissions—settings that determine which user(s) have access to each item, and exactly what that access is. For example, permissions dictate whether or not a particular user can open and edit a particular file. But permissions also determine which items the operating system—or specific parts of it—can access and modify, and which files are accessible by applications.
What does repairing permissions do?
The Repair Disk Permissions function—the process that actually performs the task of repairing permissions—examines certain files and folders on your Mac’s hard drive to see if their current permissions settings are what Mac OS X expects them to be; if discrepancies are found, the offending permissions are changed to match the expected settings.
(In Mac OS X 10.3 and later, repairing permissions also performs one other, unrelated, task: If the invisible /tmp symbolic link—which is linked to the /private/tmp directory—is missing, the link will be recreated.)
Why is it necessary to repair permissions?
If permissions on particular files are “incorrect”—i.e., not what Mac OS X expects them to be or not what they need to be for your Mac’s normal operation—you can experience problems when the operating system tries to access or modify those files. For example, you may have trouble logging in to your account, printing, launching applications, or even starting up your Mac. Similarly, if an application—from Apple or a third-party developer—needs access to a particular file or folder to function, and the permissions on that item have changed in a way that prevents such access, the application may not function properly (or at all). The Repair Disk Permissions function can fix such problems by ensuring that certain files have the correct permissions.
There’s also a security element here: Many system-level files have permissions set a particular way so that applications or users that shouldn’t be meddling with those files can’t. If the permissions on certain system-level files somehow get changed so that access to those files is no longer restricted, you’ve got the potential for a major security issue. Repairing permissions can resolve such issues by resetting permissions on those files to prevent unauthorized access.
How do I repair permissions?
The Repair Disk Permissions function is part of Apple’s Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities). After launching Disk Utility, select the desired disk—generally your startup disk—in the list to the left, then click the First Aid tab. At the bottom of the First Aid panel, click the Repair Disk Permissions button. (You could instead use the Verify Disk Permissions option to preview any potential repairs before performing them, but for most users there’s little benefit from this extra step.)
Permissions can also be repaired via the shell (Terminal) by using the command sudo diskutil repairPermissions /. However, it’s unlikely that the typical user will ever need to perform the task in this manner. It’s useful if for some reason Disk Utility itself won’t launch, or for repairing permissions on a remote Mac when connected via Remote Login (SSH), but otherwise you’re just as well served using Disk Utility.
How does the Repair Disk Permissions function know what the “correct” permissions are?
When you use Apple’s Installer utility to install software (such as Mac OS X itself or an OS X update), the installation package (the .pkg file you double-click to begin installation, or that Software Update downloads in the background for an automatic installation) generally leaves behind a receipt—a smaller Mac OS X package that includes information about every file installed, including the permissions each file should have. This receipt is placed in /Library/Receipts. When you run the Repair Disk Permissions function, it examines the receipts in the /Library/Receipts directory of the disk being repaired—which means the feature works only on volumes with Mac OS X installed—and compares the information in the receipt with the actual files on your drive. If the Repair Disk Permissions function finds a file with permissions that differ from what a receipt claims they should be, that file’s permissions are reset to their receipt-specified values. (If you’re curious about the information contained in a receipt, the easiest way to view it is to use the utility Pacifist; simply drag and drop the appropriate receipt into the Pacifist window and you’ll be presented with a list of all files installed by the similarly-named installation package, along with each file’s original permissions.)
It’s worth noting here that although the function is called “Repair Disk Permissions,” what is actually happening is that files’ permissions are being reset or restored to a particular state. It’s possible—though not common—for a particular file’s permissions to differ from what a receipt claims they should be without those permissions actually being “broken.”
Are all files affected by Repair Disk Permissions?
No. As you may have inferred from the above description, only those files installed using OS X’s Installer utility and whose installation packages leave behind a proper receipt in /Library/Receipts are affected by the Repair Disk Permissions function. This means that most of the files affected by the Repair Disk Permissions function are system-level files, application files, or system add-ons—not applications installed by drag-and-drop, and not your documents or other user-level files.
If repairing permissions is useful in general, why doesn’t Apple recommend it as routine maintenance?
Apple does, quite explicitly:
It’s a good idea to repair disk permissions as a regular maintenance task after upgrading or installing new software.
That’s taken from Mac Help—in both Panther and Tiger—right on your Mac. Similar statements can be found in other Support articles, one of which is:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751

Menu Bar items read-only in 10.5.2

After 10.5.2 upgrade, I'm unable to use a lot of drop-down menus for Menu Bar items such as Bluetooth, Airport, Date&Time, International etc.
Spotlight and third-party menus (Little Snitch, MiniBatteryLogger) are OK, but system ones became all-gray (in case of Bluetooth and Airport) or just read-only ( selection of menu item doesn't do anything).
I have to do System Preferences->Network to switch between WiFi networks.
Is anyone experiencing similar issue? Any idea how to fix it?

Well, looks like an issue came from SIMBL Plugins, such as WiFind.
Just move the "WiFind.bundle" from the "/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/"
Somehow, if automatic login is set you are not getting "System UI Error, plugin disabled" and stuck with read-only menus.
I've created another user account, logged in as another user and immediately got "System UI Error".
After removing WiFind.bundle and reboot everything came back as suppose to be.

SOME FUNCTIONS BEHIND MENU/TOOLBAR ITEMS NOT WORKING

In application the toolbar button 'new record' and 'next record' are not
working. The associated menu items also not work.
When copying same set of binaries to another directory with another forms
listener then everything is ok. So the problem is not in the fmx's.
Most menu/toolbar items do work only those two have problems.
Any suggestions?

The problem was probably due to a connection error.
Nothing to do with designer or headstart.
It is solved

Unable to set a top-level property object

Hey guys
I've made a little sequence to fetch data from a XML file. In that XML file, there is some informations (entries) (IP addresses, port numbers, etc) about 4 different types of devices(sections are the devices names). The first section of the XML tells me the NAMES of the devices I have to configure. The type of each device is located in the entries of each device. Each device has its own information and I can have more than one device of a type. In teststand, I've created custom data types (containers with empty fields) for each type of device I need.
I want to dynamically create the devices that the XML file tells me to configure as fileglobal variables and populate them with their own config informations (entries of the XML file). I'm creating new fileglobal of the type I want using PropertyObject step and I'm creating an alias of that fileglobal that I'm passing in parameter to a subsequence who's getting infos from XML. Here, everything is OK.
The problem occurs when I want to configure 2 or more objects of the same type. At the SetProperty step (where i'm creating the fileglobal variable) teststand gives me the error:
"Unable to set a top-level property object to another object. Error accessing item 'Parameters.DeviceToInitStruct'."
Is there any ways to avoid that problem and creating to variable of the same type ?
thanks

Hi
I finally got rid of that problem.
Instead of using a PropertyObject.Clone step, I used a statement who's just copy the "MasterObject" into a "CloneObject" and i'm working with that copy. So the sequence can now create devices of the same type without any conflict with the first device.
i'll post here a short example to show how i did... maybe it'll be useful for someone...

How to set an Application Item from PL/SQL

I am attempting to set an Application Item
After login to my app, I want to retrieve a row from my SETTINGS table and populate some Application Items with the settings information so that I can
display some of that settings information on every page.
Just to start, I created one Application Item named F106_YEAR
I then created a Shared Components Application Process which executes on New Session: After Authentication
I created this process as an Anynomous PL/SQL block.
declare
aucyr varchar(4);
begin
select year into auctyr
from settings;
:F106_YEAR := aucyr;
end;
I've tried a couple of other Syntax tricks attempting to reference the Application Item F106_YEAR from within PL/SQL (like V('F106_YEAR') but nothing seems to be working.
I'm sure that I am missing something simple. Can someone tell me how to set an Application Item from PL/SQL?
Thanks in advance.

I'm still doing something wrong because this is not working for me.
I've tried both of the following versions as an Application Process set to run on New Session after Authentication:
declare
auction_year varchar(4);
begin
select year into auction_year
from PBUUC.SETTINGS where rownum < 2;
:F106_AUCTION_YEAR:=auction_year;
end;
and I also tried:
declare
auction_year varchar(4);
begin
select year into auction_year
from PBUUC.SETTINGS where rownum < 2;
APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE (p_name, p_value);
end;
F106_YEAR is a global Item (shared components).
The select statement works just fine in SQL*PLUS so I know that it is correct.
If I run the debugger and log into the application, here is the output. Shouldn't I see my Application Process get called if it is set to run on New Session after Validation?

How to set an application item when report column link is clicked?

I am trying to set the short name of a bread crumb entry when I drill into a detail from an interactive report page.
The master report has a column link with target = detail - "page in this application"
I can pass page items through the URL and they are set on the target page.
How can I set an application item before the target page is called?
Is there a way to set a process before the link is followed?

Kenneth,
I'm not totally sure that I understood the question but, it soounds like you want to set the value of some page items on the page that is opened when you click a link on a column in the master window. Is this right?
If so, you can achieve what you want by creating hidden page item(s) on the target page. In the master page, on which every column provides the link, go into Report Attributes, click on the link column and scroll down to the section labeled "Column Link" Within this section, set the link text to the current column value, e.g. #MASTER_REPORT_COLUMN_NAME_HERE#. Set the target to "Page in this Application" and pick the page number for the target window.
Underneath this you will see a section to set set the value for page items. If you click the flashlight, you can search for the hidden page item that you created above. Use the same value to set it as you did the link text, i.e. #MASTER_REPORT_COLUMN_NAME_HERE#. Do this and let APEX take care of passing the values on the URL.
On the child page, just set whatever control you want to dynamically pick up the value from the hidden field. For example, if you hidden field where named P4_CLEARER_NAME. You could set the title attribute to "Contact Information for &P4_CLEARER_NAME."
You need the preceeding "&" and terminating "." around the name of you hidden page item to do this.
