Visio stencil/shape text box is hidden - need shown - text

I've downloaded and am using the VNX 5300 stencil/shape from https://download.emc.com/downloads/DL38235_VNX_Visio_Stencil.zip (I had to create a free account to download it).
I can hit F2 to edit the text, as normal, but it will not display. On other downloaded shapes/stencils, if I right-clicked on the shape/stencil, I would have the option to hide/show shape text, but it doesn't exist on this one. I have looked in the shapesheet data, and "hide text" is already set to false. In developer options, the text is not protected.
Is there a way to force the text to display? I hope to learn how to fix this problem, rather than band-aid it and merely add a second text box.

This stencil was created oddly. I had to right-click and ungroup from master. Then I had to, again, right-click and ungroup a second time. After the two ungroup actions (from its original format--I did NOT group it to anything, whatsoever), I was able to edit the text and see it, but cannot move it. The shapesheet then showed the "text transform" options so I can pin it, but again, cannot move it to the location I want.
I then had to completely frankenstein and butcher the shapesheet text transform to barely get it moved where I wanted. Adding a text control handle was not possible.
This is a faulty stencil made by EMC, apparently, as I have not had these problems with any of the other brands' stencils I've downloaded.

What is the place where we write code and the right menu called in Brackets?

I use brackets but I don't know the names of the place where you write code
and the right bar that contains some buttons (e.g Live Preview and Extension Manager) menus.
The red thing you marked is called editor. The left menu and right panel are called toolbars or sidebars.
Honestly you don't even need to know these menu names (maybe except the editor).

Android studio just downloaded and gives an error

I have a problem with android studio. I just downloaded and when I try to add something the app for example a button or text I get the following error:
This view is not constrained. It only has designtime positions, so it will jump to (0,0) at runtime unless you add the constraints The layout editor allows you to place widgets anywhere on the canvas, and it records the current position with designtime attributes (such as layout_editor_absoluteX). These attributes are not applied at runtime, so if you push your layout on a device, the widgets may appear in a different location than shown in the editor. To fix this, make sure a widget has both horizontal and vertical constraints by dragging from the edge connections.
Well I haven't actually done anything... Download it and instantly error...
After research I found that in the Layouts tab there is an option called ConstraintLayout. I double clicked on it and then I added the button and a warning appeared named hardcoded text and it says:
Hardcoded string "TextView", should use #string resource Hardcoding text attributes directly in layout files is bad for several reasons: * When creating configuration variations (for example for landscape or portrait)you have to repeat the actual text (and keep it up to date when making changes) * The application cannot be translated to other languages by just adding new translations for existing string resources. There are quickfixes to automatically extract this hardcoded string into a resource lookup.
There is a suggested fix but it wont change anything...
Anyone know what to do or it is just my luck...…………...
Just go to Design Tab and on Layout right-click on the layout you've and select Constraint layout --> Infer Constraints.
If you don't find this tab Infer Constraints then you've another android version so just go to Design Tab and click on the button you added you'll find a toolbar appeared you'll find in it an icon for a Magic Stick just hover on it you will find it's Infer Constraints click on it.

ST3: Find text results in panel instead of a buffer

I must have hit a setting in ST3 and caused my program to display results in a panel instead of in a buffer. How do I get it back so that find-text results go into their own tab? I've done some digging around but I can't find what I did.
In the Find in Files panel, there is a series of buttons to the left of the Find field, and the right most one of those is the one that controls whether the find results show up in a panel or in a buffer.
Note that the button may look different in your version as it appears that you're using a different theme (the image below shows the default theme). You can verify that you have the correct button based on the tool tip text.

How to restore VBA Editor to its initial settings?

How to restore the VBA Editor to its intial settings ? I have some troubles with macro and projects explorer windows settings, after some bad manipulations.
The only way I know how to accomplish this is to edit the registry.
Close All Office programs
Open a command prompt and type regedit
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\VBA\6.0\Common
Right click on Common and Export to save the *.reg file somewhere safe. This is your back up. Double clicking this file will restore your current settings.
Right click on Common and Delete it. Doing this will remove all of
its subkeys that hold your personal settings.
The "Common" key will be recreated the next time you close the VBA Editor along with any changes to the settings you may make.
I have the same issue, it's simple:
TOOLS
OPTIONS
DOCKING
Then select Object Browser, Project Explorer and that's all.
I had the same problem and realised that if I double click the blue heading of a minimal floating menu, such as the Project-VBAProject menu, it would resize and fit in with the other menus that are expanded. With a bit of moving around and double clicking the headers of the menus that I had selected from the VIEW option, I could get the screen back to the way it originally looked at the default setting of the VBA editor.

Solution Using a Mac and Excel 2016.
I found that I could drag the, e.g., project explorer (pe) window toward the edge of the vb window and the outline of the pe window moves and adjusts once you get close enough to the edge. This also works with the other windows as you bring them into view.
My default view is project explorer upper left, properties lower left. To return these to be in that order, drag the one to that location (which will fill that whole area) then drag the other one right on top of that one. That stacks them in the same column and then you can adjust their size within those locations.
I had this same issue and fought with it for literally 2 days. Finally figured it out!!!
xD First close the Project Explorer and the Properties windows using the X at the top right. Then go to Options under the Docking tab. Uncheck all boxes. Close the options window and if desired check to see that everything is undocked. Now go back to Options>Docking and check all the boxes you had checked (default is all but object browser). Your windows should have returned to default.
This may not solve the OPs original question of "default" for all, but in my case and possibly others I was looking to re-dock the "Project Explorer" and have modules pop up next to it like default. I'm not sure about other settings, but this is how I restored the above behavior.
In the project explorer right click and select "Dockable". Then insert a module and maximize it. This should restore what I consider default behavior.
Actually, it is very easy. You just have to go to View Tab then Click on the Project Explorer & Properties Window. It worked for me because I lost these two and now I got it by doing this. I hope so you will get the same result as well. View the image for more clarity.
Simple steps. Works for Mac , maybe windows too
Close all the tabs in the VBE
View --> Code . This will occupy entire space
After that ,view --> project explorer. this will pop up a tab, drag that tab to the top left corner. It auto fills into a small column which you can drag according to your preference .
Now select view --> properties window and drag the tab to bottom left.
Additional step ( if you use locals window )
Select locals window from view and drag it to the bottom.
Right click any of the window you want to move and click "Dockable". This should allow you to move all the windows as you want and place them as you wish.
I had all menus and windows missing, like no "File", no "Edit", no "View", etc.
Here's what I did:
Closed Excel
Opened the Registry Editor
Navigated to HKEY_CURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\VBA
Right clicked on VBA and renamed to VBA_old
Closed the Registry Editor
Opened Excel
Opened Visual Basic
…and voila, VBA was back to normal!
After that, I:
Reopened the Registry Editor and saw that VBA had been recreated
Deleted VBA_old
I'm not aware of a 'reset' command but the starting point would be to go to the View menu and start by setting the Code, Project Explorer and Properties windows and then the Toolbars>Standard (toolbar) perhaps?

Browser Ctrl+F find non-visible text

Can the browser feature of Ctrl+F to find text be integrated with text in popup windows.
I'd like to have some scientific reference information given when someone hovers over a species name in a web page. Generating the popup, tooltip style text is no problem, the problem is that anyone using Ctrl+F won't be able to find it, or if I position the text out of view when not required, it will be found but be invisible.
The same sort of effect applies to "accordion" style expanding text areas.
I'm looking for some sort of event generated when find is highlighting a result.
Unfortunately there is no such event, you can't interfere with the built-in find.
About the best you can do in this case is to provide your own search function in-page, which searches the DOM for Text nodes containing the given text, highlights them, and opens up any closed accordions they're in.
The only idea I have, is to put all the text from your popups in one additional scrollbox (maybe at the bottom of the page) with a height just large enough to display one set of detail information at a time. This way, it doesn't take up too much space on the page, and the text can still be found using Ctrl+F.
