Press Spacebar To Activate This Control

My applets all display this message when loaded in a web page with IE Firefox does not do this : Press SPACEBAR or ENTER to activate and use this control.

Press Spacebar or Enter to activate this control

Many of you have might have seen this message when running applets

on Windows. One thing I don t understand is even if I press Spacebar

or Enter, nothing happens. The only way to activate the control is to

click inside the border of the applet.

Well, somehow I can activate the control but this message is lying in

I Suddenly got curious Anybody have an idea.

I think that s a question of where the focus is. Generally, the focus will not be on the applet when the page is loaded, so for the applet to see any keystrokes, it needs to get the focus first which is done by clicking on it.

Your inputs are highly appreciated,

Mark this reply as the best answer.

Choose carefully, this can t be changed

You better check out siebel alert 1222. Siebel informed all their customers

since early February about this issue.

Basicically, since the April MS cumulative update for Windows XP you need t

o apply a compatibility patch from Microsoft to use siebel in normal way. S

iebel informed their customers dedicated contacts, and supportweb that yo

u must upgrade to a maintanance3 release to fix the issue. Upgrade before t

he JUNE MS cumulative update for Windows XP. . Seems you did not do that. I

f you can not upgrade to the correct version than you could / should have a

sked Microsoft for another compatibility patch not available at windows up

date.com. See siebel alert 1222 for detailed instructions.

Short term solution.. de-install the JUNE windows XP cumulative update a

nd potetnially re-apply the compatibility update from April

Ok, you didn t post the actual error message, but from what I experienced with different client PCs is, that the machine doesn t yet have XP SP2 installedand KB 917425 is dependant on that.

Hi mateyou sure about the number 919010. I want to request it from M

My question is installing KB919010 is enough or should we also go for Siebe

Fix Pack. Because our Siebel production and development servers don t

install any new patches that are released my Microsoft month after month,

it is only that the thin client machines get installed with the new MS

patches. So in this case should we go for Siebel Fix Pack for servers.

my company is currently rolling out KB919010 for Windows XP SP2 siebel 7 us

ers only. I do not know if this patch number is specific to my company, but

would assume not. It comes in 20 Locale versions and is intended to be dep

loyed to the clients. I have also seen 20 more windows 2003 server locale v

ersions of this file. We do not deploy them at all so far.

This patch will only work until the August Windows XP SP2 cumulative update

So there is no choice, and you need to install the Maintenance Release like

7-7-2-6 ASAP so you are not dependent upon the MS compatibility updates. M

y company is trying to find a way to go to MR 7-7-2-7 which is scheduled fo

My advice, follow the instructions in earlier referenced siebel alert for r

equesting this compatibility patch.success

Thank you very much Dutchuser for your guidance.

We are using Siebel 7.5.3.4 at our development and production environments.

I have properly checked the support web for instructions on configuration

changes needed after applying fix patch 7.5.3.15, but haven t got any clear

instructions. Does any one have document on this. email removed.
