In access, I have a (continuous) form with textboxes on it. For these textboxes, I have created shortcut menus and assigned these to the textboxes (through Shortcut Menu Bar property).
In order for these shortcut menus to popup on a right mouse click on the textboxes, I need the form to have the Shortcut Menu property to be yes.
Yet, setting this Shortcut Menu property to yes also opens a (default) shortcut menu when I right click on the form. I don't want this default shortcut menu to pop up.
So, how can I have the shortcut menu for the textboxes but disable them for the form hosting the textboxes?
I'm on Chrome Version 41.0.2272.101 m (newest), and this update is messed up. They put it, when you have inspector open, that any DOM change will flash with purple on the changed element (like in Firefox), but now I cannot inspect any hovered object (also like in FF, which is why I don't like to use it when doing front end developing).
I'm talking about js triggered events, like superfish for instance. Before, I could hover the menu, and cover the menu with the inspector, and the menu would stay opened, and I could go in the inspector see what pseudoelements are created, change the paddings and such directly, and see the change. Now, when I hover the menu, and right click to inspect it, the menu closes, and I cannot inspect it!
I tried dragging the inspector over, but nothing helped. This new 'feature' is annoying as hell. Is there a way to inspect js triggered events, without putting break points on elements (which works, but is kinda pain in the ass)?
Hover over the element with your mouse and press F8 (this will only work in Chrome) to pause the script execution. The hover state will remain in visible to you. If you're on a Mac, you may have to open system preferences and check off "Use all F1,F2,etc" check box (Or simply use fn + F8).
Sometimes it only works if you are in the Sources tab of the inspector.
*Yes, you should be in the source tab and MOST IMPORTANT is you should close all the opened tabs in the Sources tab before you press F8(win) or Fn+F8(mac). *
Depending on the menu element type, I ran into this issue with drop-down input menus. The reason it's disappearing when I inspect it, is because a blur or focusout event is always triggered on the element when I click anywhere outside the element.
One way I was able to inspect the element is to prevent these events from being triggered is by removing their event listeners:
Inspect the input element on Chrome
Go to the Event Listeners tab and remove the blur or focusout event
Once the event listeners are removed, you can open the menu and inspect it without disappearing
In Chrome, press F12 to open the developer console, then click on Settings (cogwheel icon) or press F1:
then find & check the "Emulate a focused page" option.
Update: as noted in comments, this option is now in another place. See this answer.
On Mac, you can press cmd+\ to pause the script after having opened the dropdown. You can then use shift+cmd+c to inspect elements.
Adding to "In Chrome, press F12 to open the developer console, then click on Settings (cogwheel icon) or press F1:" above;
In Chrome 86 and above you can find "Emulate a focused page" option here:
DevTools >> Elements >> "Kebab" menu (3 vertical dots by the settings cog) >> More tools >> Rendering.
Alternately: With Devtools open: Hit CTRL/CMD+SHIFT+P to open the command menu HUD, enter "emulate a fo" to narrow the search results and enter (or click) to toggle the setting.
Now, when I hover the menu, and right click to inspect it, the menu
closes, and I cannot inspect it!
I faced the same issue and what I used was Expand recursively option on chrome dev tools:
The steps are:
Inspect the dropdown field
Find the dynamic DOM (the purple highlight)
Right-mouse click on that dynamic DOM
Choose Expand recursively:
We can see all elements are there
Here is a demo:
In Firefox
In Inspector, right click on a node that contains the dropdown, select:
Break on... > Subtree modification
This will pause execution the moment dropdown is... well... dropped down.
Only way that would work for me was doing setTimeout(() => { debugger }, 3000) in the console and opening the dropdown while timeout was running.
Pressing pause button in dev tools UI or F8 key to pause script execution would both close the menu.
I just used emulate a focused page and it worked like a charm
go to settings
go to more tools
find Rendering
find "emulate a focused page" and click the radio button
voala now you can inspect your select element
You can set an interval that writes out the content of a given element in the JS console every second. Drop this in the console and open the dropdown.
setInterval(() =>
console.log(document.querySelector('.Select-menu-outer').outerHTML),
1000)
None of the above referred remedies worked for me.
As our drop down (React based) will close on any single click (right or left)
So we found out the below workaround:
In Chrome Open developer tools
first click on the drop-down in collapsed state & let it expand with options
then under the element section, right-click on the div node (make sure not to left click before right clicking), which contains details of the drop-down items
Then select option 'Expand Recursively'
Then required details were shown
I think you can use the CSS Editor in Chrome to apply a state, for instance, the state of 'hover'.
In the Developer Tools, you select an element. On the right hand you have a square with an arrow over it. Click that and you can choose a state. For instance, pick hovered and you'll see both your window and your CSS update as if the element is being hovered right now.
On Windows, press F12 first, at the page with the menu, then point your mouse to the element menu (the menu will drop down), then press CTRL + Shift + C. Now you can inspect all the elements.
in my case i do following steps
Open developer tool or inspect page
click three dot button at top right
click on More tools -> Rendering
then check on Emulate a focused page option.
It's well known on how to make a custom upper menu item (https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/menus), but can you append a function to the context menu when right clicking a cell or item?
No. Can't do it. There is no class or method to modify the right click context menu.
I'm doing a chrome extension which adds an option to right click menu in "page" context. I see the option added in the context menu after I click on extension's icon in the toolbar.
But I need the option to be added without clicking on the extension icon in the toolbar. If I add contextMenu creation code in the content script which gets injected in every page, the option is not added in the contextmenu.
What do I need to do to: add an option in the contextMenu when the user loads any webpage without clicking the extension first.
Add your context menu in the background page.
http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/background_pages.html
Background pages is a single long-running script to manage some task or state. That is where you should put it.
Hope that helped.
I'm current creating a custom configuration for a CKEditor installation. I got all fixed, besides disabling the toggle button that hides/shows the toolbar.
So my question is: "How Do I disable the button that hides/shows the toolbar in CKEdtor 3.0?"
CKEDITOR.config.toolbarCanCollapse
at CKEditor 3.0 JavaScript API Documentation CKEDITOR.config
Alternatively, locate that toggle button and script something to hide it or detach events from it.
