  • How to close a form automatically if it is idle for a minute?

    We are talking about 10 forms here. We want to do this: we have a forms applications. Open a form in the menu and the user uses. Now, if the user does not use the form for 1 minute, i.e. If the form is idle for one minute without keyboard or mouse activity we want to give a message to the use and close the form or to block/gel form.

    How do this pls?

    The only way to support to do would be to create a java bean that monitors the activity of the client. Demonstration of how to do this is available on the forms download page:

    http://www.Oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/downloads/index.html

    Search: "timeout Java Bean". Remember that this is only an exampleof _____. To use this example in your production application, it may be necessary to adapt the java code to meet your needs. This example is not supported by the Support of Oracle. Use it at your own risk.

    You will probably get suggestions to set FORMS_TIMEOUT to a value less than the PULSATION. It is strongly discouraged because it can cause unpredictable results and let the end user with a comparing browser hanging. Again, using a java bean is the preferred method.

  • What's someone to find your Apple TV remote loses its charge when idle for a period of time?

    My new Apple TV remote loses its charge when idle for a few days. I was sure to leave load for at least 9 hours, as suggested. It only is not heavy use until the battery goes down.

    I have never accused mine when I had and used it for about a week.  No problem.  It seems that something is wrong with your charger or the battery of the remote control.

  • Satellite Pro M40: computer stops when you press the SHIFT key

    Sometimes when I press the shift key it wonder if I want to shut down the computer. It also changes the internet Explorer mode in full screen. When it arrives it will be continually for centuries and then suddenly stop. Then start again. It seems not to happen at any given time. I disabled the hot key in the Toshiba utility and which comes to the top of the Tower stops when I pressed the SHIFT key, it does not give me the option.
    It's really annoys me because I can't just think what to do.

    Thank you

    Hello

    It's very strange. It is the first time I heard about this issue.
    As much as I know the Toshiba utility cannot add additional functions to shift and make this key as a stop button.
    I have gift? don't know if you have installed the 3rd party applications that can change the keyboard feature, but you should check this possibility.

    In addition can also be a defective hardware. Maybe something wrong with the keyboard controller. But of course the diagnostic test is necessary.

  • Freeze the inverter when idle for a period

    MS Windows XP: when the computer is idle (but not standby, hibernation) during and hour or more, I come back to it and it is frozen, the monitor still shows open programs (or at least some that were open), the mouse works, but I can't do anything.  I can't close programs, I can't go to START. Just hit reset to reset the works.  The monitor is a plasma.

    Any ideas?

    Hi rgstaley,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. You have security software installed on the computer?
    3. When was the last time it was working fine?

    There are many reasons for computer to freeze when idle.

    You can try the following steps and check if it helps.

    Method 1

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
