I need to open some windows in my application on a second monitor. Is there any solution for this in an Adobe Flex/AIR desktop application?
Yes, there is. It's not exactly a 'chose control', but more like an option to know what kind of displays you've got: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/Screen.html#screens
This way you can get the second display and then move your window to it.

Is there a way to remove the option to minimize the application or maximize it, in pygame?
To not make it able to be resized, only add your dimensions to the pygame.display.set_mode function. Do not add options. If what you mean by "removing the option to minimize the application or maximize it" is get rid of the button altogether, you can't do this. When you create a window in pygame, pygame creates a window with whatever window api is for your platform. Pygame doesn't get to decide how your window should look (menu-bar/options). This is why windows in macos and linux look different from windows in windows. To recap, you don't get to chose how your windows look. That's the job of whatever window manager api your system uses.
screen = pg.display.set_mode((width, height), pg.NOFRAME)
So I'm trying to develop a webapplication and I'm trying to check it out on mobile.
I'm currently using Cordova and JQuery Mobile together with ripple.js to view my application in my browser.
The first issue (as far as I know) is that ripple.js will work best in Google Chrome, so this is my only test platform.
The second issue is that when I toggle Device Mode on, it doesn't show me the black dot (cursor) when I enter the rendered version.
I'll explain my situation or a scenario:
As an example I'll go to http://google.com
I press F12 to enter developer mode
I click the Toggle Device Mode button
I will see my cursor, until I enter the generated mobile canvas. While I would normally see a black transparant dot, I now see nothing.
I can however click and drag like I would normally do, but I can't see what I'm doing.
The things I already tried:
Reset all the flags back to default
Reset all developer tool settings to default
(edit) Installed a previous version of Chrome AND Chromium
So question is, how do I get my cursor back?
Extra: I'm using version 49.0.2623.87 m, but that's not related since my co-worker, has the same version and he sees the cursor.
(edit) currently I'm using the mouse option where I press Ctrl to see the circle which indicates where my cursor is, but this really has to be a temp solution.
(edit) I fixed it by doing a combination of things. So I'm not sure which exact thing fixed it. I removed a few programs that I installed after it still worked. I uninstalled about 4 of them. Also I did an update of my graphics card and then did a reboot. So it could be either the graphics card update, the software uninstall and/or the reboot.
I had the same issue. (note this question might be a duplicate of this one)
Following the advice on the Chrome forum here I changed the Quantization Range in my Intel HD Graphics Control Panel from "Default Range" to "Full Range". The touch pointer (grey circle) appeared immediately.
If that doesn't help you may have to change refresh rate too. Changing from 59p Hz to 60p Hz or some other refresh rate might help.
This should also help.
Open the mouse control panel.
Select the Pointer Options tab in the Mouse Properties window.
Then enable Display pointer trails option.
In case you don't like or are getting annoyed, like me, due to the trailer. Move the slider to the Short position and the trailer becomes near to non-existent or invisible.
I fixed it myself, yet I'm not exactly sure how I did it. I edited my original post and added the solution in the last paragraph.
Had the same on my Asus laptop with Chrome 66
Resolution that worked for me
Graphics Control Panel > Display > General Settings > Scaling > Change to Scale full screen.
OFF your Asus Eye Care Switcher.
I am posting this as answer because above mentioned answer didn't work for me but I had this issue when I had a monitor attached to my laptop, for development work. I played around with my display settings and discovered that IF the scale on my second monitor did not match the scale on my laptop, the mobile development mode cursor would disappear. (windows 10)
If this is an issue for anyone just go into Display settings -> Display -> Scale and Layout --> make sure that both your laptop/desktop matches the display scale of your second monitor.
Hope this will help.
Am working on a windows store winjs application and am trying to force display the touch keyboard on the application screen.
I couldn't find any proper solution over the net for the same.
Is there a way to force display it?(would be great if there are some work arounds)
The touch keyboard show & hide behavior is designed to be controlled by the user and should not be changed easily.
Anyway an easy workaround is to set the focus on an input control in the page programmatically. This will make the keyboard appear, but the the control will be back to the user and he will be able to hide it at any time.
Cheack this article for a more complex workaround if you need a bit more control: How do I hide virtual keyboard for select element in Win8 JavaScript app?
So, how do I make it so that so when I got my application at StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN, it wont make it StageDisplayState.NORMAL on pressing esc? like if I want to make an in-movie pop-up menu, which appears on esc that includes all the options like exit and fullscreen or not -settings?
If you are making a web based swf then there is no way to stop the escape key from quitting full screen mode, because of the security problems associated with not being able to leave a full screen movie. However if you are making an AIR application then there might be some work arounds that I am unsure of.
More in depth explanation
I have a touch screen kiosk that displays a webpage and a pdf document. Can I remove the menu bar? Users must not have "save", "print" and other such features.
Update
random screenshot on flickr - I am refering to the print, back/forward, zoom bar that controls the PDF -- not the browser menu. Sorry for not beeing specific.
OK - you should be able to set up most of that in the pdf document itself.
This is going from the menus in Acrobat Pro 9:
File -> Properties -> Initial View
There are some options there for: Hide menu bar, tool bars, window controls
This has been around in acrobat for a while, so most version should do it.
It is alo possible to set these programmatically if you have the right libraries, but easiest to download a demo of acrobat.
OpenOffice also has options to hide controls and forbid printing under:
File->Export as PDF->User Interface
Unfortunately, you can't modify current PDFs. You'll have to have a Word or OOorg document to export.
You should really use PDF Open Parameters for this.
Good discussion on using IE7 in Kiosk mode:
http://samanathon.com/internet-explorer-7s-kiosk-mode/
If Firefox is on option for you, see this plugin:
R-kiosk
Real Kiosk is a Firefox 2.0 - 3.0 extension that defaults to full screen, disables all menus, toolbars, key commands and right button menus. Alt+Home still takes you home
If you are running a machine with the .net framework you could throw together a windows forms app with an embedded web browser control, which gives you a little more control (how do they go back from pdf without a toolbar or a right click?)
But the quickest option that I have used (done a few touchscreens) is just using IE in kiosk mode, which is easily accomplished with command line switches, and setting that to run fullscreen on windows startup.
u need pdf professional version to do that when you create the pdf file,
File -- Properties -- Initial Vies
check the "Hide menu bar" and "Hide tool bars"
Save
Good Luck
Or just use this open source component and get rid of acrobat reader
