What is this design element/field in Theme Creator? - themes

I'm working on a theme in Sony's Theme Creator and thus far, I'm pretty happy with my theme and its progress...
There is one problem however - I simply cannot work out what a particular element/field is named in Theme Creator and thus cannot change this element/field.
Either that or I have already made the change and it's not taking affect.
Further to this, I have experimented with changing anything that appears to be the right element/field (based on the name), however none have thus far had an affect.
The element/field is the blue parts below - they should be the same color as the bar at the bottom of the screen...
Any help would be appreciated.

Those elements you are referring to should be the "Status Bar" and the "Action Bar" (Top). If you aren't sure which item in the left list corresponds to which element on the right, you can always press and hold the mouse button over the item in the list and it should show up as highlighted in yellow in the preview pane.

Maybe bug in Collection View, Horizontal scroll, development language RightToLeft

When you have a Collection view that scrolls horizontally, and you want to scroll programmatically for an item, you call:
scrollToItemAtIndexPath
When your Localization native development region is set to a language that is LeftToRight, everything works as expected.
But when it set to a RightToLeft language, it takes an index path as it counted the index from the last item to the start, so you gets the item you didn't want!
If you then set the semantic property of the collection view to Force Left To Right, it'll work as expected, but scrolls from left to right, and it not what I want...
I've set up an example project on GitHub... Let's see who can solve this!! =]
https://github.com/ybeapps/BugInUICollectionViewForIOS
At last, Apple solved the bug in iOS 11.0
They asked me to test it in several beta versions (Some of them had a frightening behavior)
I'm leaving the question and for reference and for backward compatibility

Eclipse scout neon whole area around check box is clickable

I noticed that whole area around check box is clickable.
Is this a intentional functionality or a GUI bug? Problem is that user don't expect that if they click outside check box that value in chack box is changed.
It is intended that the user may click on the label. But clicking on the white space right of the label should actually not change the value. We will look into this.
It is different for list boxes: Because list boxes support selection as well, we decided to make only the check box clickable instead of the whole row to prevent the user from accidentally change the checked state if he just wants to select / focus a row.

"Always show selection" doesn't work on CListCtrl in list mode

I want a user to be able to select item(s) in my CListCtrl and then click on a button to act on those items. But when the focus is lost from the list, the selection is no longer shown, even if I set 'Always show selection' to true:
This happens both in the dialog test facility, and in my compiled application. I use list-mode, and have no icons, only text.
To reproduce:
Create a new dialog in the resource editor
Place a list-view control.
Set View = List in the properties
Set Always Show Selection = True in the properties
Add a button to the dialog
Press Ctrl-T to test the dialog
Select item(s) on the list, then press the button
..and the text is not visibly selected at all. Or is it... I can just
barely sort of see some very very faint selection in my screenshot - I
think. It's so faint I am not 100% certain it's there!
In addition to my comments: well, there you have it - they are selected, and in a different color, but it seems your screen settings are a bit off. Maybe your color settings, a high contrast mode, or the color setting for selected items in Windows.
The gray color in your screenshot is: #f7f3f7 - light gray, so you might have a problem seeing it, depending on the settings.
An interesting and very lightweight tool to check those things (zoom in, see the color values) is ZoomPlus. I use it every day, and there seems to be source code available too.

Getting the current value of a textbox in Access 2013 Custom Web App

in a List view I want a particular control (textbox) to have a red background color if it has a certain value. I have tried the following:
Click on the textbox then click the Data icon in the context sensitive controls that appear. I can then see that the name of the control is First_NameTextBox. I then click anywhere on the List view and click the Actions icon in the context controls that appear to the right of the view. I select "On Current". I then create two steps that should be executed whenever a new record is activated:
If [First_NameTextBox] = "somevalue" Then
SetProperty
Control Name [First_NameTextBox]
Property BackColor
Value #FF0000
End If
However, this turns the textbox red no matter what the value in First_NameTextBox is. How do I reference the CURRENT value of the textbox?
Conditional formatting based on a field value is not available for the List View in a Web App.
If you've built web pages (with or without a templating engine), the design limitations of Access can be frustrating.
Another kind of frustration comes from moving a form in Access from the native Access environment to a browser-based display.
I've felt the first kind of frustration, but so far I've avoided the second kind. I keep MS Access and HTML-rendered forms far away from each other.
Conditional Formatting in the List View of Access Web Apps is Available its just way harder than it should be.
Input "If Statement" under the "Current Macro" by clicking outside any text box or label then traveling to the top right of the view and you will see the Lightning bolt which allows two options, "On Load" and "On Current".
SELECT ON CURRENT
Don't forget You will need to set the control back to the original color by using the else. (also, for some reason I have to flip the Colors so where you would think red would go, Put White.
Example:
IF = "" True Then
White
Else
Red
END IF /DONT ASK ME WHY!
Summary: your Code is Sound, Just input it under the Views Current Macro Location
This is my first post, i spent DAYS looking for this information and found in the deep google somewhere so i hope this helps you.

is there a trick to working with multiple visual studio panel objects at design time

Is there some sort of shortcut key that I am missing here for swapping panels around in the form editor of vs2010?
I have numerous panels which are swapped at runtime according to an enum "toggle" value and the only way I seem to be able to move them back and forth is to make one panel smaller than another and right click it. Half the time I end up selecting some other object in the action of trying to right my panels.
I figured there must be something i'm missing here.
there are icons on the layout toolbar for this task. I pick the panel in properties and move it around with those. Way easier than right clicking and hoping for the best.
edit: although sometimes the buttons are not enabled when you need them to be. Still right clicking a resize handle adorner dot will pop up the context menu where you can then choose to move back/forward.
I still wish there was some key combo I could press. Hitting the 4px of display area that the adorner dot occupies on my screen is sort of a dexterity test of sorts and slows me down.
