How to set the sensitivity of the touchpad?

I have problems with my cursor. It jumps randomly from line to line as I type. I was told that it is because I am brushing on the keyboard as I type. If that is correct, how can I do the less sensitive key?

Thank you

There are usually options to make it less sensitive, but these options are provided by the company that made the touchpad.  Dell computers used to put options in mouse Options in Control Panel.  Toshiba computers have a special application of Toshiba to set the sensitivity.  Acer and Asus usually do it a little differently.

So you will want to first check your control panel under mouse options.  If you don't see touchpad settings, contact the manufacturer that built - they'll know where they put their options.

Or a low tech solution: put a card on the touchpad.

    Welcome to the forum, Sally.

    There are several ways to do this - method you choose may depend on what you need to accomplish.

    Follow a few ideas.

    • A double tap farm in the upper left corner of the touch pad if it off for a single session.

    Enable / disable

    Control Panel > display icon > mouse > Settings of TouchPad > click on "enable TouchPad.

    They continue parameters to install and configure the TouchPad as you like it...

    ==========================================================================

    A method that works with the pilots 'old', it is a failure of session by session...

    Make sure this setting is ON / CHECKED:

    Control Panel > display icon > mice > TouchPad [ClickPad] settings >

    () repeat) TouchPad settings (button) > click tapping >

    Click the shimmering blue wheel

    In "box to Disable TouchPad settings".

    CHECK "Double Tap to activate / disable the TouchPad.

    In the 'Action in the upper left'

    CHECK "Disable the TouchPad during a session.

    Close

    Ok


    NOTE that, if it is available on your version, you can select to "turn off the TouchPad" - that's fine, unless something goes wrong.  You could get stuck without your USB mouse AND no way to return to the setting to activate the touchpad.  I don't know if I would use this setting.

    ======================================================================================

    Next...
    Latest drivers (V16.x) have the ability to disable the TouchPad / click on the keypad with a setting on the main page 'Settings' when a USB mouse is used.  This is a very nice feature.

    Control Panel > display icon > mice > TouchPad [ClickPad] settings >

    CHECK "disable the pointing device internal when the external USB pointing device is attached.

    If you want to be alerted and see a visual cue of disability >

    TICK "Animated icon in the taskbar" >

    and make sure you have your updated task bar notifications so you can see the view of the mouse.

    Click the shimmering blue wheel

  • How to disable the touchpad disabled?

    I just got this laptop and it's driving crazy me.

    I tap on the touchpad, and I touched the area where you can disable the touchpad about 1,000 times a day. No matter if I do what he says, I can't that faucet back on.

    I press the windows on my KB.  Type mouse into the search bar.  Tab and then arrow key over to reactivate and it's driving me crazy! I use this for business, but also personal use.

    I see you where you can disable the touchpad, I don't want that.  I want to disable the zone of the touchpad where you tap enable and disable.  It is a defect of design for me.

    Thanks for any help that can be provided.

  • How to set the position and size of the façade using the FPRunTimePosRunCustom method in a c# application?

    How to set the position and size of the façade using the FPRunTimePosRunCustom method in a c# application?

    I found a solution! -Set the size and position of the façade with the help of the

    File > VI properties > window running Position (in category list) > custom (in position of menu drop-down).

    then just accept the current position and size (leave the boxes checked) or set values you want directly (uncheck the boxes and fill in the numbers), or physically position and size the façade and use, the "set to current location" button and press "set size" current All that is easier for you.

    OK so it does not make use of the method VI Methods (Active X) FPRunTimePosRunCustom ([Position], [Size]) but if labview want to make him difficult to use then other means must be found.

    How to set the printer wireless ad Hoc mode to CP1025nw with automatic stop is off? IE never automatic.

    Thank you very much for your help, if necessary.

    Quite a few questions, send, but I will do what I can to answer them.

    I recommend first to buy a router, even if it's one you won't connect to internet and it network with others your PC and printer. This will give you the best features and the results of what you're trying to do.

    In addition, the automatic stop of the printer function can be disabled and is not affected by the type of connection. Usually, you can go through the configuration Menu and select tools to change the options there on the energy saving features.

    Finally, the auto off function on your computer is a Windows question, but one easy answer. If you're on a laptop, you can right click on the battery in the tray (lower right corner) and change the settings for energy conservation.

    You might be better off installing the printer via the USB cord and alternately inspiring when you use it, but which is not optimal if you are printing only a few documents on an irregular basis. A network connection is the easiest to manage across multiple computers, honesty, but you have certain requirements for this connection and limits as well.

    I hope this information is useful!

  • How to set the path of the report in a plugin for model

    I'm trying to figure out how to set the path of the report in a plugin process model. I can't find a way to have access to it. It seems this would be a reasonable thing to do since the plug-ins are for the treatment of the results. Does anyone know how to do this? We generally use the sequential process model, but I try to keep my plug-in as independent as possible.

    Thank you.

    If I understand correctly, you want your plug-in, when enabled, change the settings of all other instances of the report OR plugin as their reports share the same directory that your plug-in is configured to use.

    If so, your plug-in can access and change the settings of all other instances of plugin. All instances are passed to all the points of plugin entries in the subproperty of the plugins of the ModelConfiguration parameter table. You can browse this table. Any element of the array with an equal to "NI_ReportGenerator.seq" Base.SequenceFilename is an instance of the report OR plugin. Its report options are stored in the element under PluginSpecific.Options.

    You can change the report options to what you want. Note that the recall of the ReportOptions model is called from template-plugin Initialize entry point, then you might want to ensure that your changes are applied after that, so they are not replaced. To do this, you could make your changes in the Initialize entry point of your plugin and make sure your plugin runs last. To rotate the last, you can set the FileGlobals.ModelPluginComponentDescription.Default.Base.RunOrder in your file of plug-in with a value greater than 0, for example 1.0 (see Help for TestStand > Fundamentals > process template Architecture > plug-in for the model process Architecture > Structure of the plugin sequence files > plugin model of entry Points > Order Execution of Point of entry at run time).

  • How to set the value of a variable in a cluster in LabVIEW to c#?

    Hi guys, I'm working on a small c# program, which by using the interface provided by LabVIEW.  And I know that, with the help of lv. SetControlValue (name, value) can set a variable just on the front panel. But in my case, there are several groups on the front panel. Then it confused me how to set the variables in these groups. For example, there is a cluster named clusterA and a variable named a., I tried something like this:

    lv.SetControlValue("clusterA.valueA",1);
    

    but it totally inoperable. Everyone has some experience with this sort of thing? Thank you very much!!

    Hey guys, thanks a lot for all your response. I just found a simple way to solve this problem. For example, there is a cluster named "ClusterA", and there are only two witnesses, who are: an int value named "IntA" (default = 10 IntA value) and a string value named "StringA" (by default the StringA = 'abc'). In c#, if you call the method:

    var clusterA is vi (Array). GetControlValue ("ClusterA");

    you will get a table looks like: clusterA = {10, 'abc'}; So if you want to change IntA 123, you simply do:

    clusterA.SetValue (123, 0); 123 the value, 0 is the index of IntA in clusterA, after this clusterA table = {123, 'abc'}

    After that, simply to make the table in LabVIEW using:

    VI. SetControlValue ("ClusterA", clusterA);

    and now you see the LabVIEW, IntA is changed.
