File Selection - parent component

I am trying to select a file on the client to be displayed.
I have a JFileChooser that seems to work for the file selection, but when using the
.showOpenDIalog() method, it is wanting a parent frame component as an arguement.
If I use .showOpenDialog( null ), the dialog works, but is displayed behind the browser.
How do I get a component that refers to the browser so I can use .showOpenDialog( component )
and have the dialog open on top of the browser?
I think it is something in the facesContext stuff, but just not shure what to use.
Thanks.

This doesn't actually work at all. The file chooser is being displayed on the server, which in your development area is the same as the client. Try it from a different machine and you will see what I mean.

How to get underlying ViewRow from a selected Graph Component

I have a bar graph using a view object as the data source. If a specific bar is mouse-clicked, I am retrieving the series, group, and value, per the BI Beans
team's earlier suggestions. Is there a straightforward way to retrieve a specific row from the view object, based on the selected graph component? I looked at the API's
for the DataAccess, GraphModel, and DataView interfaces, but did not see a 'convenient' getter method. I know I could do it with a getByPrimaryKey (with the selected component's
series data). But I'm hoping there might be an easier way.
Thanks

Hii,
You can store the data as shown in the vi, just use the signal data by converting it into the numeric form and give it instead of random data.
Hope this will help.
Thanks,

Calling a method in Parent component from Title Window

click a button. Now I want to call a method in that parent
component from the Title window. How do I do this in Flex? Could
anyone give me a hint please.

You absolutely _do_ have the capability to pass in a
reference to the parent
component, or to create a "hard" reference to
Application.application. But
these are not recommended practices, because anything you
create this way is
then tied to an environment that implements those properties
and methods.
Q (3): I want to run a function in my main application from
inside my
custom component. But when I try to refer to myFunction() in
that
component, I get a compile time error Call to a possibly
undefined function
myFunction. How can I fix this?
A: Your component has its own scope, so it doesn't know
anything
about the functions in the main file. You can get around this
by directly
referencing the main application scope like this:
Application.application.myFunction(). However, this makes
your component
tightly coupled, which is a quick way of saying that your
component is only
usable in an application that has a myFunction() function in
it. You're
better off dispatching an event from your component and
letting the
application decide how to handle it. For more information,

EHP5 Stack File is invalid: component 'EA-HR' (stack release 600 source .

Hi all . . .
Attempting to install EHP5 on ERP ABAP stack. Currently on EHP4 SPS5.
During the configuration roadmap step, the Stack configuration overview told me that "for the following components, a Component Upgrade/Installation and/or Support Packages will be included according to the selected EhP stack configuration . . . " and it proceeded to list the various compoents and their intended releases. During that, I did take note that it wanted to move EA-HR to 600 SPLevel 0059 . . . I was surprised by this, yet I pressed on.
Now, during the Information Gathering phase (PREP_EXTENSION/SUBMOD_EXTENSION_NEW/EHP_INCLUSION) I received the error:
Last error code set: Stack file is invalid: component 'EA-HR' (stack release 600 < source release 604)
I understand that it is trying to tell me that the component is trying to install a release lower than what is already installed. The problem is, I do not know how to go about fixing it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bryan Montgomery

Hello Bryan,
I believe the best and fastest way to have EA-HR upgraded to 605 is to unselect this usage type in MOPZ, regenerate the XML without it, upgrade the rest of the system to EhP5 level and, afterwards, upgrade only EA-HR to 605 level using SAINT.
Please make sure to check the EHP5 manuals:
http://service.sap.com/swdc
-> Ramp-Up Releases and Beta Software
    -> Installation and Upgrade
      -> EHP5 FOR SAP ERP 6.0
       -> Technical Documentation
and these notes:

Is it possible to call a function in a parent component from a child component in Flex 3?

This is probably a very basic question but have been wondering this for a while.
I need to call a function located in a parent component and make the call from its child component in Flex 3. Is there a way to access functions in a parent component from the child component? I know I can dispatch an event in the child and add a listener in the parent to call the function, but just wanted to know if could also directly call a parent function from a child (similar to how you can call a function in the main mxml file using Application.application). Thanks

There are no performance issues, but it is ok if you are using the child component in only one class. Suppose if you want to use the same component as a child to some bunch of parents then i would do like the following
public interface IParentImplementation{
     function callParentMethod();
and the parent class should implement this 'IParentImplementation'
usually like the following line
public class parentClass extends Canvas implements IParentImplementation{
          public function callParentMethod():void{
     //code
in the child you should do something like this.
(this.parent as IParentImplementation).callParentMethod();
Here using the Interfaces, we re decoupling the parent and the child

File Selection in JSP

Want to select a file with File Selection and would like to display the contents in TestArea in a JSP file.
Any suggestion OR help?

You mean select a file on the client computer and display the contents in a TextArea?
Can not be done efficiently just in JSP/Javascript.
The only component you can use to select files is the <input type="file">
That can only be used to upload the contents of a file.
The only way to get the contents into a textarea would be
1 - Choose via <input type="file">
2 - Upload the file to the server
3 - Download the text from that file to the client in a JSP page.
A better solution would involve signed applets/activex which actually CAN directly read the local computers file system.

Opening a File Selection window from VBA

I am working on a vba sub-routine that will create a project file that we can send to our customers. The procedure will remove any confidenital information from the plan and save it a local file.
I would like the user to select the destination using a standard windows file selection window.
How can i do that?
Is there a function I can call? Do I need to create a form?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Craig
Thanks, Craig

This is the simplest solution (with a training component). To get a file save as local file dialog you will need to use a windows API. Try the following code:

It's for Access, but does work in Project.

Displaying the path of the file selected by a FileChooser in a TextField

I'm just getting started with Swing. I developed a simple dialog box that has two text fields and two buttons. The objective is to open two files using those two buttons. I used FileChooser to select the files. Now, I want to display the path of the selected files in their corresponding TextFields. I use the following code to do that.
final FileChooser fc1 = new FileChooser();
final FileChooser fc2 = new FileChooser();
final TextField tf1 = new TextField();
final TextField tf2 = new TextField();
private void button1ActionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
            int returnVal1 = fc1.showOpenDialog(labelPhpFile);
            if (returnVal1 == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
                File file1 = fc1.getSelectedFile();
                String fileName1 = file1.getName();
                String filePath1 = file1.getPath();
                tf1.setText(filePath1);
private void button2ActionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
            int returnVal2 = fc2.showOpenDialog(labelPhpFile);
            if (returnVal2 == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
                File file2 = fc2.getSelectedFile();
                String fileName2 = file2.getName();
                String filePath2 = file2.getPath();
                tf2.setText(filePath2);
}The above code works fine only for the first file. Mean the path of the file selected using fc1 is getting displayed in the tf1 TextField. But, the file selected using fc2 is not getting displayed tf2 TextField. Please help me.
Thank you :)

Close excel programmatically after user cancels file selection

Greetings all. I apologize but I incorrectly posted this question on the wrong board originally so am posting it again here. I have a VI that I wrote with some help from this site that reads in as many user selected Flat Data Files as desired into Excel. The VI opens Excel, places each Flat Data File on one row and ends, allowing the user to manipulate the Excel data as desired. I have tested it without problems with up to 100 files at a time. The VI minimizes Excel at startup so that it will not block the Select File(s) dialogue. MY problem is this: If the user cancels the file selection, it returns an error and leaves Excel open. I understand how to handle the error, but have been unable to make Excel close automatically if the action is canceled. I have tried to invoke the Close without saving node with no luck... probably because I don't understand how to apply it. Ideally, I want to take the error number to a case statement, and if it is anything other than zero (0), meaning no error, I want Excel to close down. This will eventually be an executable so I need to make this right. Can anybody help? I have attached a zip file with the VI's and some sample Flat Data Files.
Thanks

If you want anything to run after an error you must clear the error status boolean from the error cluster. To do this use the bundle by name and set the status value to FALSE, take this output cluster into the function you wish to run.

How can I load the selected XML File (Selected from a Listview) into the correct Textboxes?

Right, so I have a windowsform with lots of Textboxes, where the user can type in Information, and then hit "Save", once its saved it goes into a sortof XML Format
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Case>
<Person>l<Driver></Driver><License-Holder></License-Holder><Address></Address><Phone></Phone><Date-of-Birth></Date-of-Birth><Registration></Registration>
Like that.
Now, on my Startup Form (The main form) there is a Listview that I gave the name Objectlist1. This list displays ANY file located in a specific folder on my computer. This is also where the Saved files appear.
The list also updates every 5th second so after you save it appears quickly.
Now, the Files are saved using the content or Value of the first Textbox:
Dim XmlWrt As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create("C:\Users\USER\Desktop\TESTFOLDER\" + Firsttextbox.Text, settings)
So it appears in the folder and on the list with the value inserted in the first Textbox.
My problem comes when I want to load this back (Or reverse the function if you will)
Where I can go to the Objectlist1/Listview, either doubleclick a file or Mark a file, and hit my button "Retrieve"
I want the Form where you could input all the values to show - which it does
And the information from the XML/File saved to appear where it once was typed or inserted.
Here is an example of the code used to save the values from the Textboxes;
Private Sub Savebutton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Savebutton.Click
If IO.File.Exists(Pholderbox.Text) = False Then
Dim settings As New XmlWriterSettings()
settings.Indent = True
Dim XmlWrt As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create("C:\Users\USER\Desktop\TESTFOLDER\" + Pholderbox.Text, settings)
With XmlWrt
' Write the Xml declaration.
.WriteStartDocument()
' CLIENT
' Write a comment.
.WriteComment("Database")
' Write the root element.
.WriteStartElement("Case")
' Start our first person.
.WriteStartElement("Person")
.WriteString(Textbox1.Text)
' The person nodes.
.WriteStartElement("Driver")
.WriteString(Textbox2.Text)
.WriteEndElement()
I've tried multiple codesamples but they all give either "XML Not found" or such Overloads.
This is the current code I used when trying to make it work
Private Function ReadSettingsXML(ByVal path As String) As MySettings # On Debug It marks here and tells me it wasn't found.
Dim thisSettingsInfo As New MySettings
If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(Objectlist1.SelectedItems.ToString) Then
Dim settingsInfo = XElement.Load(Objectlist1.SelectedItems.ToString)
If settingsInfo IsNot Nothing Then
For Each mainGroup As XElement In settingsInfo.Elements
If mainGroup.Name = "<Database>" AndAlso mainGroup.HasElements Then
For Each subGroup As XElement In mainGroup.Elements
If subGroup.Name = "<Person>" Then
thisSettingsInfo.Textbox1 = subGroup.Value
ElseIf subGroup.Name = "<Driver>" Then
thisSettingsInfo.Textbox2 = subGroup.Value
ElseIf subGroup.Name = "<Address>" Then
thisSettingsInfo.Textbox3 = subGroup.Value
End If
Next
End If
Next
Else
thisSettingsInfo = Nothing
Throw New Exception("The settings XML file is corrupt and cannot be read.")
End If
Else
thisSettingsInfo = Nothing
Throw New Exception("The settings XML file could not be located.")
End If
Return thisSettingsInfo
End Function
Private Sub LoadXML_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles LoadXML.Click
Dim settings As New MySettings
settings = ReadSettingsXML(Objectlist1.SelectedItems.ToString)
If settings IsNot Nothing Then
Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder
With settings
Caseworker.Textbox1.Text = .Person
Caseworker.Textbox2.Text = .Driver
Caseworker.Textbox3.Text = .Address
End With
End If
End Sub
Also, the "Caseworker" is the form where all the textboxes are located.
Been stuck on this for two working days, so any help is highly appreciated
Codesamples are also highly welcome so I can see what the heck you did and find and answer to my problems.

I found a code that might be close to what I'm looking, but as of this code used here, it looks for a static document that already exist and is located in the code.
See this one here, checks for the XML file, and since I can't link one program to 1 file, when its gonna have and use 100's of files.
If (IO.File.Exists("MyXML.xml")) Then
Same here with the static document.
Dim document As XmlReader = New XmlTextReader("MyXML.xml")
While (document.Read())
Dim type = document.NodeType
'if node type was element
If (type = XmlNodeType.Element) Then
If (document.Name = "FirstName") Then
TextBox1.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
End If
If (document.Name = "LastName") Then
TextBox2.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
End If
End If
End While
Am I at least close here, people?
Can anyone help with the now critical issue I got?
I basically need to change these two;
If (IO.File.Exists("MyXML.xml")) Then
Same here with the static document.
Dim document As XmlReader = New XmlTextReader("MyXML.xml")
To whatever value, so they read from the file SELECTED in my Listview
Cos the program saves files according to the info inserted in textboxes, so it can have whatever name you can think of, I need the program to "find and load" that file, once its selected, and then once I hit Retrieve or LOAD or whatever button, it
injects the info from the File to the correct Textboxes.
And I think this will work to get the info in the right boxes;
If (document.Name = "FirstName") Then
TextBox1.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
End If
If (document.Name = "LastName") Then
TextBox2.Text = document.ReadInnerXml.ToString()
Any good advise? I'm stranded here.

The file size of selected file in input file control is shown as 0 for multiple file selection in Safari 5.1

The file size of selected file in input file control is shown as 0 for multiple file selection in Safari 5.1. If you select single file, then it is able to return file size correctly. However, if you select multiple files, then the file size of each of the selected file is always returned as 0 from javascript. This works correctly in Safari 4.0 but it does not work in Safari 5.1.
How do I get the correct file size in Safari 5.1 ?

If you want to post (or send me) a link to the lrcat file, I'd take a look at it for you, and give you a break-down what's consuming all the bytes. But it might be fun to learn how to do that yourself (e.g. using SQL). I use SQLiteSpy, but other people have their favorites.. (or you can use a command-line client if you prefer..). One way: just run "drop table "{table-name}" on each table then look at filesize (do this to a copy, not the real thing).
Anyway, it's hard to imagine keywords and captions etc. taking much of the space, since even if you had 1000 10-character words of text metadata per photo average that still only adds up to 117MB, which isn't a substantial portion of that 8G you're seeing occupied.
Anyway, if you've painted the heck out of most of them and not cleared dev history, that'll do it - that's where I'd put my money too...
One thing to consider to keep file-size down:
===================================
* After reaching a milestone in your editing, take a snapshot then clear edit history, or the top part of it anyway (e.g. leave the import step), using a preset like:
Clear Edit History.lrtemplate
s = {
    id = "E36E8CB3-B52B-41AC-8FA9-1989FAFD5223",
    internalName = "No Edit",
    title = "Clear Edit History",
    type = "Develop",
    value = {
        settings = {
            NoEdit = true,
        uuid = "34402820-B470-4D5B-9369-0502F2176B7F",
    version = 0,
(that's my most frequently used preset, by far ;-})
PS - I've written a plugin called DevHistoryEditor, which can auto-consolidate steps and reduce catalog size - it's a bit cumbersome to use a.t.m. but in case you're interested...

Hi Xavier,
CALL METHOD wd_comp_controller->m_handler->set_range_table_of_sel_field(
EXPORTING
i_id = l_searchparameter-name
it_range_table = l_dref ).
Put a break point on the method and check what value is passed in i_id field because here we pass the name of the field for which we want to create the range.

Snow Leopard Finder / file selection sequence ?, Snow Leopard Finder / file selection sequence ?

When I was on Mac OS 10.5... If I had a folder open, and a column of files going down the right side of the desktop... If I opened one of the files (by having the file selected and hitting the keystroke: Command + Down Arrow) - then closed the file, then hit Command + Tab to select the Finder, then hit Down Arrow to select the next file (to open it) - that sequence worked as described.
Now with 10.6 that no longer works - if a folder is open on the desktop. If a folder is open, in the above sequence, after I hit Command Tab to select the (file I just closed in the) Finder, the selection moves to the folder rather than back to the file I just closed.
Which is a giant PITA because I can no longer open and close I column of files in the finder w/o having to reach for the mouse.
Seems like there should be a way to fix that.

Interesting, never used that method, but will take a look in about 10 hours wgen I have 10.6 available.

How do i get the path of the file selected for opening in JFileChooser

hi
I need to get the path of the file selected for opening or saving in the JFileChooser dialog box.Is there any method available.if not how do i get that?
Thanks and Regards
Saminathan.

don't know if its the best/only way, but you could use the getSelectedFile() method in JFileChooser which returns a file and then use the getAbsolutePath() file method
