Why would a control have the customize option dimmed out when it is right clicked?

A numeric control in one of the examples has the customize option dimmed out when right clicked. Why would that be? Is there a way to get it into the control editor or saved as a control?

Just to clarify my earlier statement:
While customization was greyed out prior to LabVIEW 8.0 for items in the dialog (=system) palette, even LabVIEW 8.0+ does not allow much customization. For example if I try to customize the "System Numeric" control, the "wrench" is still greyed out and the only thing I can do is resize the control horizontally in the control editor.
This is as expected!
Dialog (system) controls inherit their visual appearance from the OS, and the same control will look different under Windows XP, Windows 2000, or MAC, etc. They adapt to the desktop theme, including fonts, font colors, and other colors, etc.. The attached Image shows the same pair of controls and how they change appearance if I switch the desktop theme between "Windows XP" and "Windows Classic".
Customization would make no sense, because the appearance is determined by the OS, not by you.

    Hi Tori,
    Are you talking about Creative Suite subscription?
    3D options are available only on Photoshop Extended CS6, not Photoshop Standard. Open Photoshop, click on Photoshop in title bar on Mac or Help in Windows > About Photoshop. This will show you if your version is PS Extended or not.

  • Why don't I have the same options in my calendar for appointments iCloud/iPad

    Why don't I have the same opoisions in my calendar for appointments? Online in iCloud calendar there are options to pick from for days of the week and how many weeks to set an appointment. Why can't I do this on my iPhone or iPad? Am I missing a setting to be able to do this? I make most of my apointments away from my desk and would like to send a invitation at that time.

    Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

  • Why don't I have the payment option of "None"? (Link inside)

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    That doesn't happen when I try to do that.
    I don't have the "None" option. >_>

    Apple has different rules for the Canadian ituens store....such as,
    ~ apps can only be purchased with a credit card, not gift cards
    ~ there is no "Buy All" button for the Wish List
    Maybe this is just one more thing that's different in Canada. You can ask them.

  • I downloaded a toolbar expecting certain help, not seeing the help I wanted I uninstalled the prouduct, why would I still have the toolbar ready and waiting for me to use after i have uninstalled it

    Dear Firefox
    I have just sent mail to a friend and found that the HTML backgrooung file is inactive amongst mant others, am sure I used it just yesterday.
    I tried to regain this file and I was directed to download the toolbar from BrotherSoft Extreme Community and did not see any direction to what I was loking for other than it piling my already weak XP PC with more toolbars, so I immeadiatly uninstalled it.
    It's still here, so does this mean it has other guises for me to find.
    Please help me with this.
    Thank You

    Here, let me explain the way you use the word "crap" in a sentence like this, especially when I'm asking for help from a total stranger such as yourself. It's rude, obviously I know now not to do something like download something like that to my computer. It's not the difficult to figure out, and obviously I'm suffering the consequences for it now. So are you planning on helping me? Or should I not reply to your next reply if it has the word "crap" in it? I'm sure this whole discussion board was created to be used in a professional way, which is how I would like to keep my responses.

  • Why don't I see the popup option to RUN when I try to download a file under Firefox that I get in Internet Explorer which is where I turn to to download a program ?

    In Internet Explorer I always get the popup options RUN, SAVE, CANCEL. In Firefox I only get SAVE & CANCEL. When I click SAVE a "binary" file gets downloaded but I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that.
    Thanks for your help

    Firefox only allows you to save executable files. If you want to add an option to run them you can use the OpenDownload² add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/opendownload-10902

  • Convert pdf to word doc-but don't have the export option.

    I want to convert a pdf (that I got from an email) into a Word doc so I can edit it the way I want to. However, for some reason now I don't have the 'Export' option in my File drop down list.
    Funny thing is, I've converted the document once already and have entirely forgotten how I did it obviously!
    I've made so many changes in my first conversion I want to start over.
    why don't I have the 'Export' option? Or ... when I do a 'save as' and chose 'word doc' it only does a copy - paste type save - where I can't make any changes. It's like it puts it into a text box or something.
    I have MSWord 2010.

    When I do the steps below, the Word doc that is saved is like a photo. I am unable to work with the document. Why does it do that? I have converted pdf’s before without that happening but I think I did it on a free 30-day trial of X Pro.
    This usually happens when you're dealing with a very poor quality scanned document that doesn't have enough data for the Acrobat OCR engine to actually process.
    As for Acrobat 6.0 Pro, I don't believe the Save as Word function was introduced until version 8.0, but it's been a few years and the memory of Acrobat 6 has faded a bit.

  • Airplay: I don't have the airplay option at all.

    Why don't I have the airplay option. As per the user manual, I need to start the video or music and tap and choose the AirPlay device. But I don't get that button. Is there any application that I need to install? I even tried searching for airplay in appstore. No relevant apps were reflected. Do I have to first connect the airplay enabled device and then it shows that button or something's wrong with my iPod touch?

    I understand that, but what I want to know is whether the airplay button/icon shows up only when my ipod is connected to the airplay enabled device or it shows all the time?

  • Is there a way to have the thumbnail pane automatically open when opening a pdf file?

    I'm using Adobe Reader X and I would like to have the thumbnail preview automatically open when opning a pdf file. I know there is a setting to remember view layouts but this is set for the currently open document and not in general. Thanks in advance,
    Regards
    Robert

    A particular file can have this setting, so each time you open it you see the thumbnails. The bad news is:
    - this would have to be changed per file
    - this requires the Acrobat product, not just the free Reader.

  • Why did my upgrade to Maverick result in my not being able to access my Documents in the previous format? Why did I not have the option to change my 'filing' system to use the new 'Tags'? Had reinstall 10.8.5 to access my Documents

    Why did Maverick not enable me to access my Documents in the previous format (Grid) and when using the alternative I could not 'clik' to open them. The same applied when I tried to open documents from within my back up disc (LaCie). I had to reinstall 10.8.5 and back up from my LaCie (thankfully) to gain access to all my critical Documents? To deal with this I spent 3 and hlafg hours on telephone to Apple Support ( very helpful - but unable to resolve issues - then 3 hours in Apple Store (again very helpful but only able to assist by clearinng Maverick from my HD and reinstalling 10.8.5. Fortunately LaCie came to the resuce and I was able to back up Mac HD with all my documents but lost about one week of work....!!
    Why did I not have the option when upgrading to Maverick to select the new 'Tag" system which I did not want?

    10.8.5 is the lates ML edition.  I use TM and also carbon copy cloner as my second backup.  If I were you and you have a TM backup prior to Mavericks I would try another restore at bootup.  You should erase your drive first in that process using disk utitlites and then use TM to put back you apps and files.  The other choice is to do an internet recovery and then use TM to restore your apps and files.  That should fix the permissions issue.  I did the same thing and all was OK including getting my original iPhoto progam (9.4.3), iphoto11 and photos back.

  • Why don't I have the 'new from templates' option in Indesgin CS6?

    Why don't I have the 'new from templates' option in Indesgin CS6? I only have three options under 'new', document, book or library. No template option as attached ...
    Please help.
    Many thanks,
    Jeannette

    This is still pretty annoying. Some of us actually make, and use our own templates. For example, I do tons of product mockups in my day to day and I have a series of basic templates laid out that I use for including the mock up image and the various specifications for each product. It's been super easy, in CS4, to choose file / new from template and just pop my template open. It was even nifty enough that Bridge would redirect to my templates folder for me.
    Sure, I know I can still save my templates to another folder and use them as I always have, but the question is why would they just remove this? For all of the bloat that Adobe constantly adds on to this suite of applications, year after year, why on earth would they just remove a simple, useful, entirely unobtrusive feature such as file / new from template?

  • HT3924 Why TDM exclusive to the iMac? Shouldn't any Mac from 2009 with the correct port have the same option?

    Why Target Display Mode exclusive to the iMac? Shouldn't any Mac from 2009 with the correct ports have the same option? Is there a physical limitation that prevents MacBook Pro/Air notebooks with thunderbolt ports from entering Target Display Mode? Or does someone just need to poke the OSX development team with a stick?

    that was the route I took this time when I updated to 10.5.6 - the downloaded combo updater rather than the smaller (half the size) Mac updater...
    Pretty sure this is a combination of MTU, 2Wire 2701 oddities and me not knowing how to solve them directly (as well as the ipv6 stuff that's still showing in the logs despite IPv6 being turned off).
    Anyhow, I did get it connected under the Ambit finally (took restarting the mac, not expecting that in the "switch" from windows xp)- and that really rocked. Now I'm working on teaching my 2Wire to be a dumb modem, to go with the operator
    Actually, I think I'll just cut my losses for the moment and go with cable, once I find a good wireless router to connect the media center and xp box up front.

  • Why don't I have the DCP export option in Adobe Premiere Pro?

    Why don't I have the DCP export option in Adobe Premiere Pro?
    Premiere Pro CC v7.2.2

    I will reply to my own question!
    I was on my Windows machine when I began producing my video. During Export, I wasn't able to package it. After a few hours of research I found that Wraptor DCP is not supported (yet) on Windows platforms. I switched over to my Macbook Pro and viola!
    DCP'ing all day long now!

    There isn't a built in way to do that since all the navigation toolbars are on one toolbar.
