HIDE FORM EXTENSIONS ITEM FROM TOOLS MENU

HI
can any one let me how to hide Form Extensions menu item from Tools Menu.
Disabling is possible but i could not able to hide it completely, i mean making it not to visible/appear.
Thank You!!!

I'm not familiar with the 'Form Extensions' menu item but have you tried using the CUSTOM.pll and set_menu_item_property(menu_option_id,DISPLAYED, PROPERTY_OFF);
You should be able to do it with forms personalizations but I'm afraid I don't know the steps for that.

Call a Form using Webutil from the Menu loose focus on the applet

Hello,
I have the following problem:
When calling a form using webutil from the menu the focus on the applet (I mean the Forms Application window) is lost and I have to click on the window to get back the focus on the application.
Any advice ?
Env: Forms 9i / Webutil 1.06
Rgds,
Philippe

Try to use the NO_HIDE parameter in the CALL_FORM() built-in.
Call_Form( 'the_form', NO_HIDE ) ;Or maybe, in the[b] When-New-Form-Instance trigger of the called form, return the focus to the calling form
Go_Form( Get_Application_Property( CALLING_FORM ) ) ;Francois

How to popup a new forms window upon clicking Tools- Menu item

Hi,
I am new to forms. Can some one help me out with the following requirement?
I need to provide a new 'Menu' item in the Tools menu of a seeded form and when the user clicks on the new menu option, he should get a new window wherein he can input some values. Then I need to read these user input values and pass them to a custom stored procedure and invoke the stored procedure on the database. After the stored proc finished executing I need to re-query the block on the seeded form to populate the latest records.
Appreciate if some one can let me know the implementation steps for the requirement mentioned above.
Thanks
Sara

Hi OraMol,
Thanks a ton for your response! Looks like it is pretty simple, but can you please brief me on how to create this 'canvas' to accept parameters and requery the base block? I know its a silly question though but basically am new to forms :)

How to create a menu item under Tools menu using menu-hook in extension.xml

I am able to do it in FILE menu (FILE_MENU_ID) and View menu (VIEW_MENU_ID). But how to do it under "Tools" menu? specifying TOOLS_MENU_ID or MENU_TOOLS in extension.xml menu-hook does not work.
Thanks
Sanjiv

That's great. I'd love to jump into j-script and learn all about it, what it can do, what it's limitations are.... But I'm actually just looking to use the program as it functions (or should) out of the box.
This feature was accessible in Acro 8. I don't think that java should be necessary to perform this task. But maybe it is. Is anyone else able to use the "execute menu item" action? Because my build (acrobat 9.0 pro extended)only displays a blank selection dialog.
Thanks for the reply Geo

Cannot clear data from Tools menu with FF 21

I just installed Firefox 21. I do not see the Clear History item in the Tools menu any more. Is there any way to get that back? I prefer to have easy voluntary control over clearing the history and other data. Why did the developers not set the item in the Privacy panel to ask first before clearing anything, the way it did before?

Thanks. I found it by reading a description on a Mozilla addons page. Why did nobody mention that something was moved from one menu to another in the release notes? I actually read the release notes page for FF 21 and there is not a word about that there. I rarely open the History menu, which is why I did not notice that item in there. I'll be opening that menu a lot more now.

How to export/import database from tools menu in sql developer.

Hi,
I need to export database from a server and import it on another db server using the export database function under tools menu in SQL developer. How do I import it? This is for Oracle 10g database.
Thanks

Depends what are you trying to do? Are you making a database copy or just creating an empty schemea or creating schema with the data?
With 10g, you have also options of using datapump (expdp/impdp) and conventional export/import which is very usefule and easy to use when it comes to create a clone (duplicate schema) or an export/import of some objects.
If you right click on table object, you have options of export ddl/export data and import data but thats different thant what expdp/impdp or conventional export/import provides. For very small database you can use sqldeveloper but consider
using other above mentioned options. Hope this helps

Uncheck the "Close Other Forms" option under the Tools menu programmaticaly

Hi,
I have a standard Oracle form open, and I want to open my own custom form, leaving the standard form open, so users can navigate back and forth between the two. I can accomplish this, but I need to go to the Tools menu and uncheck the "Close Other Forms" option. Just wondering if there's a way to do this programatically? Thanks.

Hi,
Do you want to make the option 'not visible' or 'visible but not enabled'...?
For the first option you probably would need to do form personalizations...
For the second option you can refer to the following metalink note... "Note ID 264461.1"...
Thanks and Regards,

Error 1000 when opening a vi from tools menu

Hi All,
I have created a vi(attached), which creates a new library and adds another vi to it. This vi seems to be working fine when we open and run it from its location on the disk. If I try opening and then running this vi by selecting it from the LabVIEW tools menu (This was done by placing it in the location-National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\project ), I get an error 1000 after the property node for 'Name' . Error 1000 states 'The VI is not in a state compatible with this operation'. I would be really glad to know why this happens or even an alternate solution for it.
Thanks in Advance,
Ibrahim.

If you run it from the tools menu, it is running in a seperate Application Instance called NI.LV.Dialog of LabView. You need to get hold of the Main Application Instance.
Have look at this link:

But be warned, that it is located under the rusty nails section and this stuff is not officaially supported by NI or anyone else.

VI ran from tools menu does not work correctly

I have a VI that I created in LV7.0 and it works great in 7.1 now I am trying to get it to work in 8.0 and I get a very weird thing going on in 8.0 that I cannot understand. If I run the vi as is it works great it finds all the vi's in memory as it should but when it is run from the tools menu. (I did this by saving it to the projects folder) it does not find all the vi's in memory. So i started doing some debugging and found the code was OK. The I tried the example called memory monitor and when it is run standalone (ie double clicking on it in the example finder) everything runs great but when I save it to the project folder it does not show all the vi's in memory as it should. Does anyone have an explantion to this.
Joe.
"NOTHING IS EVER EASY"

Hello Joe,
Yes, this is the result of a fairly significant change in LabVIEW 8. LabVIEW now has more than one "sandbox" so-to-speak such that you can have multiple copies of the same VI (or different VIs with the same name) in memory at the same time. These separate "sandboxes" are referred to as "Application Instances". VIs launched from the menus run in a different application instance than user VIs do. Page 11 in the LabVIEW 8 Upgrade Notes, section header "User VIs", discusses in more detail this issue and what you can do to achieve the old behavior.

Deployment utility missing from Tools menu

I'm using NI TestStand 4 (Development system) and I only get Customize... button on Tools -menu. There used to be Deploy TestStand System button but now it's gone. Any ideas what is wrong? I don't remember doing any changes to TS Sequence editor or LabVIEW.

Your 'Tools.INI' file within the C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 4.0\Cfg directory was either deleted or moved. Once TestStand restarts, it creates a default file upon opening.
Just copy the 'Tools.INI' file from another PC if available.
Thanks,
PH

Sessions entry missing from Tools menu

I have just upgraded to Firefox 8. The "sessions" entry has vanished from the "Tools" menu. I had about 20 sessions recorded and would like them back.
If this feaature has been reemoved from Firefox, can anyone tell me where the data might be stored on my haard drive? If I have to, I will go through the file with a hex editor.

I just realised that the "sessions" entry was part of an add-on, Tab Mix Plus, which had been disabled by the Firefox upgrade. When I enabled it, everything worked fine:)

Hyper-V Manager missing from tools menu

I've just installed a new domain. It has one domain controller (Windows Server 2012 R2), SVR0 and one Hyper-V Server (not the Hyper-V role...Hyper-V Server), SVR1. I joined SVR1 to the domain and now I wan to manage it from a Windows 8.1 client. I've installed
RSAT on the client and I can open Server Manager no problem. The problem that I am having is that there is no sign of Hyper-V manager anywhere. Server Manager knows that SVR1 is a Hyper-V server but still there are no Hyper-V Manager links anywhere. I was
expecting it to show up in the tools menu on Server Manager but it did not. I made sure that Hyper-V management feature is installed on SVR1, but still nothing.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
After you setup the Hyper-V server did you create the external and all that external virtual switch has configured as “Allow management operating system to share this network
adapter” ?
If you want the Hyper-V can be managed by Server Manager that is running on a remote server, you need to enable your local server to run the Windows PowerShell cmdlet
Configure-SMRemoting.exe –Enable.
If you want to use RSAT Please reconfirm you firewall configure correctly and disable your Hyper-V server firewall and use the domain administrator account to try the management,
thanks.

Launching Actor From Tools Menu

I have written a configuration tool(lets call it application ABC for simplicity) within the actor framework for a very large API. Application ABC was designed/intended to be launched from the Tools Menu in LabVIEW. For development I ran application ABC directly using a development style "splash screen" that I would run from the project that owned the source code. My development splash screen has a crude pop-up that allows you to select the VI that you want application ABC to act like it was launched from. As part of the final stage of development I wrote a VI that uses the App.MenuLaunchApp and AppMenuLaunchVI properties to retrieve the VI to configure.
Here is where the trouble started. Application ABC runs well and closes as expected with no sort of odd behavior while closing when run using the development splash screen. When launched from the Tools menu application ABC acts normally and allows me to run all of the methods/msgs for the actors without any hints of trouble. Closing application ABC LabVIEW crashes whenever the launch originated from the Tools Menu. This is very consistent.
My guess as of right now is that it has something to with the actor framework running in a private application context (LV.Dialog). I am assuming that LV.Dialog is making assumptions that I am breaking.
I haven't tried a simplfied example yet; but I am interested to know if anybody else has tried something like this.... Is the AF Message Maker in the actor framework?
LV2012SP1
My customer won't let me share the code.
I attached the debug output in case that interests anybody.
Solved!

I was able to work around this error...
First I made a simple example and found that I couldn't recreate the problem(no surprise). I then started building up the simple example until I realized that I needed to have the actor open up it's own referance to the parent VI(the VI that's tool menu was used) and not use a referance opened by the splash screen. Even if the referance to the parent VI ref was valid for the actor to use while running it would crash LabVIEW upon closing. I added the VI name and application service name to the class data of the actor and then used pre-launch init to call a method that would open the parent VI ref. I should also not that enquing the open parent VI ref method from the splash screen still results in a LabVIEW crash upon closing the actor.
Fun stuff...
If anybody wants to chip in as to why this is occuring I would be glad to learn more.
