How to change the prompt message in a open file box

Hello
In my VI the user has to introduce several file path. They are sequenced so we know which one is requested. Is there an easy way to change the message on the "choose file to read" window in order to have "choose xxx file to read" etc... Is this through some VB programming or does labview have some tools for that ?

There are two solutions:
OBN's solution uses a function to get the file name.
My solution uses the file control. You have to click on the browse button to select the file.
Both solutions will open the system Open File dialog where the user can select the file. OBN's solution is more obvous to change the parameters. In my solution you have to use property nodes.
See the VI (LV7.0) how my solution works.

HOW TO STOP THE PROMPTING MESSAGE OF MASTER PASSWORD EACH TIME I OPEN MOZILLA FIREFOX?

HOW TO STOP THE PROMPTING MESSAGE OF MASTER PASSWORD EACH TIME I OPEN MOZILLA FIREFOX?

Firefox will ask for the Master Password on startup if it is needed on a page.<br />
This can be Sync or a web page that is (re)opened automatically and you have saved a name & password for this website.
You didn't confirm whether you are using Sync or not, so I don't know which of the two would apply.

When I try to open iweb I get the following message: Can't open file "~/Sites/NAVIGATOR/index.html." How do I fix this? Using 10.6.3 soon to be 10.6.6 and then Lion.

When I try to open iweb I get the following message: Can’t open file “~/Sites/NAVIGATOR/index.html.” How do I fix this? Using 10.6.3 soon to be 10.6.6 and then Lion. I have never opened the product before and have had it on the computer since new.

Go into your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and see if there's a file titled Domain.sites. If there is double click on it and see if iWeb opens.
If there is no Domain file there do the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.

Hi!
I encountered a problem a few weeks ago which is a bit like yours. In my case my Apple ID stopped working after I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I finally found out it was because of the fact that my Apple ID has in fact been an alias within my much older MobileMe/iCloud account. And they weren't able to merge or reset the account at first. It took me a lot of mails and a few calls to get them to resetting the account and changing my Apple ID (for the Apple Store, iTunes, etc.) to a different, non-iCloud related email adress.
Anyway, maybe you can call the Apple Support and kindly ask them to reset the password for this ominous @me.com account so you can finally start using it.
Did you try logging into iCloud using your adress with the appendix @me.com because not everybody has got the @icloud.com ending yet. Technically it's no problem to create a new iCloud account. I can understand though that you'd like to get "your name" back .

How to change the value of variable in .bpel file

Hi,
How can i change the value of variable in .bpel file at time of deployment.
Can it be possible with configplan.xml or deployment descriptor?
Thanks
Richa

You cannot change the value of variable in .bpel file using config plan. If you want to change value at runtime , you can use Preference variable. Below is the blog to help you understand more.

How can change the Prompt of a text item in a form?

Dear Friends...
I want to change the label/Prompt of a form ( Miscellaneous Receipt) in Inventory Module. Ie Current lable/Prompt is REFERENCE, i want to change it into BOE. Pls advice me ........
Regards
Mary

To make the change permanent you need to use the same Folders submenu and select either Save ... or Save As.... I would recommend the latter and give the folder your own custom name as this then differentiates any changes from the seeded folders / other locations who might also be using this folder etc.
Thereafter, either your users will have to select the folder or (better) you can use the Administer Folders option in SysAdmin to default the folder to a particular responsibility or responsibilities.

How to change the replication group information after db files are created

Since group information is persisted in the database, I am wondering if there is a way to update the information.
We want to implement some kind of Berkeley DB master relay mechanism for our two data centers, which has slow link in between. Basically have one master populating a database file and launch another two node as master to replay that to other nodes of its own group. It will be much efficient this way so we don't have to copy the data multiple times over the slow link.
We periodically (once a day) update the Berkeley DB content from customer's feed on a backend node and upload (rsync) the Berkeley DB File to two the data centers. We would like to have a master node in each data center to read the pre-populated data file, replicate the changes to the web node (read only) while they are still running. I simulated local and if I trick the nodeName and nodeHostPort setting, it should work (basically, fake the replication node on the backend node using tampered hostfile so they get registerred). However, it is not very convenient and definitely a dangerous hack on the production servers.
If there is a way, after the creation, to update the group information (for example, change all the nodes information) without corrupt the log file/replication stream, it will be much easier for us. Basically, we would like to have the node/group information and data file de-coupled?
Any ideas how to do that, or is there a better way to design such a replay of data using Berkeley DB?
Thanks in advance!

2. You mentioned to not clean up the log file. Is there a point where I can safely call clean up on the environment when BDB is still online as I can imagine we will run out of space very soon if we don't clean up.The approach outlined above (steps 1 to 5) will ensure that no log files are deleted on A while you are updating B and C. The use of DbBackup ensures this. For more information on how this works, see the DbBackup javadoc.
Whether this causes you to run out of disk space on A is something you'll have to evaluate for yourself. It depends on the write rate on A and how long it takes to do the copy to B and C. If this is a problem, you could make a quick local copy of the environment on A, and then transfer that copy to B/C. But you must prohibit log file deletion during the copy, using DbBackup, or the copy will be invalid.
You should perform explicit JE log cleaning (including a checkpoint) before doing the copy to B/C. This will reduce the number of files that are copied to B/C, and will reduce the likelihood that you'll fill the disk on A. See the javadoc for Environment.cleanLog for details on how to do an explicit log cleaning.
In your earlier post, it sounded like the updates to A were in batch mode -- done all at once at a specific time of day. If so, you can do the copy to B/C after the update to A. In that case, I don't understand why you are afraid of filling the disk on A, since updates would not be occurring during the copy to B/C.

How to change the argument input in a jnlp file?

A question associated with the following few lines of jnlp codes:
<application-desc main-class="Main">
<argument>arg</argument>
</application-desc>
My question is: "How can 'arg' be changed dynamically?
Thanks for help.

Thank Dietz for help.
I tried the following jsp code. But it can launch the application only when "test2.jnlp" file exists. "argument to change" can't be passed to the application.
Thanks.

out.println("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>");
out.println("<jnlp ");
out.println("spec=\"1.0+\" ");

How to change the "Download" word indicated for a File browse item ?

Hi,
I have a File Browse item. It displays "Download". And works fine too ! i want to change the Message "Download" by "Télécharger". Where can I find this ?
Thank you for your kind help !
Christian

Hello Christian,
If you are referring to the DOWNLOAD on an interactive report that is set to download a blob (for example), you can change the word Download to be anything you wish in the Download Format Mask. The very last entry is the Download Message.
DOWNLOAD:TABLE_NAME:BLOB_CONTENTS_COLUMN:PRIMARY_KEY_1:PRIMARY__KEY_2:MIME_Type_COlumn:FILENAME_COLUMN:LAST_UPDATE_DATE:CHARACTER_SET:CONTENT_DISPOISITION:DOWNLOAD_LINK_TEXT
For example:
DOWNLOAD:TABLE_Of_CONTENTS:TOC_PAGES:BOOK_ID:::PDF_FILENAME:MOD_DATE::ATTACHMENT:Click Here To Download This Book
The message "Click Here To Download This Book" will appear for each link.
Good luck,
Don.

How to stop the prompting message of master password when I open firefox when not opening on a site that doesn't use a password?

Every time I open Firefox it asks for my Master Password. I am not on a site that has a saved password, yet it still asks for it. Sure I can hit Cancel, but continually doing so is a nuisance. It never used to do this in past versions, it only asked for the master password when entering a site with a saved password. Is this a bug? How can I stop this annoying behavior. If needed my Start Page is: www.webcrawler.com.

Sync will try to connect to the Sync server to look for changes, from other devices that are setup for that account, shortly after Firefox is opened if anything is set to be synchronized, not just tabs. You need to disable Sync from "auto connecting" to Sync, disabling the sync of tabs alone isn't enough.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config <br />
Double-click this pref to toggle it, then restart Firefox. <br />
'''services.sync.autoconnect''' to '''false'''
Then grab the Sync icon from the Customize Palette and use that to do a manual sync.
