How to use the custom control ?

Hi Friends,
plz help to use of custom control in screen painter ?
and how to use the custom control ?
Thanking you.
Regards,
Subash.

HI,
Screen Elements
A screen can contain a wide variety of elements, either for displaying field contents, or for allowing the user to interact with the program (for example, filling out input fields or choosing pushbutton functions). You use the Screen Painter to arrange elements on the screen.
You can use the following elements:
·        Text fields
Display elements, which cannot be changed either by the user or by the ABAP program.
·        Input/output fields and templates
Used to display data from the ABAP program or for entering data on the screen. Linked to screen fields.
·        Dropdown list boxes
Special input/output fields that allow users to choose one entry from a fixed list of possible entries.
·        Checkbox elements
Special input/output fields that the user can either select (value X) or deselect (value SPACE). Checkbox elements can be linked with function codes.
·        Radio button elements
Special input/output fields that are combined into groups. Within a radio button group, only a single button can be selected at any one time. When the user selects one button, all of the others are automatically deselected. Radio button elements can be linked with function codes.
·        Pushbuttons
Elements on the screen that trigger the PAI event of the screen flow logic when chosen by the user. There is a function code attached to each pushbutton, which is passed to the ABAP program when it is chosen.
·        Frame
Pure display elements that group together elements on the screen, such as radio button groups.
·        Subscreens
Area on the screen in which you can place another screen.
·        Table controls
Tabular input/output fields.
·        Tabstrip controls
Areas on the screen in which you can switch between various pages.
·        Custom Controls
Areas on the screen in which you can display controls. Controls are software components of the presentation server.
·        Status icons
Display elements, indicating the status of the application program.
·        OK field
Every screen has a twenty-character OK_CODE field (also known as the function code field) that is not displayed directly on the screen. User actions that trigger the PAI event also place the corresponding function code into this field, from where it is passed to the ABAP program. You can also use the command field in the standard toolbar to enter the OK field. To be able to use the OK field, you need to assign a name to it.
All screen elements have a set of attributes, some of which are set automatically, others of which have to be specified in the Screen Painter. They determine things such as the layout of the screen elements on the screen. You can set the attributes of screen elements in the Screen Painter - either for a single element, or using the element list, which lists all of the elements belonging to the current screen. Some of the attributes that you set statically in the Screen Painter can be overwritten dynamically in the ABAP program.

How to use the remote control in MediaSource Audio Play

Hello,
I bought myself the Creative X-Fi Elite Pro.
I found out that I only can use the remote control in Media Center of the software.
Now I want to use it in the Creative Audio Player whicht was also in the Box.
Is there a way?

Yes there is. I suggest trolling these boards for the 3rd party remote solutions that will free you to use the remote in ANY application like Winamp, Notepad, Windows Media Player, etc.
Just my two opinionated cents...

How to use the BreadCrumb control

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to understand the use of BreadCrumb in NWs.
I'd like to show the name of the current showed view in the step of BreadCrumb; I have 3 linked views in this sequence: 1 -2 -3; I select the view n.1, than view n.2 and finally the view n.3; the BreadCrumb should show this result: view1 -> view2 -> view3.
In addiction to this, the order of showed view could be changed at runtime! How can I do in this case?
What should I use: MultipleBreadCrumbStep or "simple"Step?
I saw that there isn't info enough in the SDN forum!
Can you explain the right use of BreadCrumb to have the above result?
Thanks
Enrico

To explain my problem in a complete manner, I write to you the other thread I have opened...
ok!
The situation is this:
I used the componentization to create and manage several slave DCs and one root (master) DC.
The root DC handles the view visibility of each slave DC, simply using a navigation ammong the interface views.
I'd like to write down the name of current interface view (showed by the root DC) at runtime so that I could put these names in a BreadCrumb control (developed using Developer Studio).
I also saw that a BreadCrumb utility exists in the Enterprise Portal.... but I think that control only works using one application url (of the root DC) and doesn't take trace of events inside each slave view!
Is it correct? If yes, I couldn't use the BreadCrumb provided by the portal!
I have to crate the communication between root DC and another DC which I will title to "BreadCrumb DC".
The BreadCrumb DC would detect the navigation inside the root and show it in steps;
the root DC would trace the navigation (of all interface slave views) and write down it into a context;
this context could be exposed by interface controller of the root DC and sent to BreadCrumb DC.
Well.... how can realize this project?
I'm thinking about it but I can't solve the dilemma!
May you help me?
Thanks in advance,
Enrico

I don't understand how to use the volume control on the new iphone headphones

I just bought the new style earphones for my iphone and it has a new volume control -- how does it work? On the old one you just pushed up or down for volume control but now it just increases volume for the time you hold it down? Does anyone know how to use this properly?

I have had good success with the System Font Panel. Now all of a sudden, I only get part of it. Any suggestions on how to restore the entire panel? There are no change size options in the corners like in some dialog boxes. I was going to paste what I have here, but for some reason, paste is not available.

How to use the treeview control

I tried to use the treeview in the form builder.
But I failed.
If anyone can give me the guideline or related data,
I'll be grateful.
Thanks.

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to use treeview control in InfoPath 2013.
Per my knowledge, There is no treeview control in Infopath 2013. Have you used the solution from third party? if it is , I suggest that you seek the third party for help.
Besides, here is a similar post, you can take a look at:

How to use the video control buttons on YouTube with voice over

I have a Macbook Pro and since I am totally blind I use the voice over. I am watching YouTube videos but I can't access the buttons at the bottom of the screen. I can't play/pause the videos or use the slider. I ca't use any of those buttons. Is there sometihng I am missing here?

I dont know if you will be able to connect other device like PS3 or Wii.
As far as I know only the Xbox 360 could be connected to a Qosmio and could be used with the Windows MCE.
I presume this is possible due to connection of Microsoft products; MCE and Xbox360
To be honest; why you dont take a look into the user manual if this notebook is new to you?
All details are mentioned in the user manual which is already preinstalled on the notebook.

How can I Use the iCloud Control Panel to pick a new folder

[Forum FAQ] How to use parameter to control the Expand/Collapse drill-down options in SSRS report?

In SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), drill-down is an action we can apply to any report item to hide and show other report items. They all are ways that we can organize and display data to help our users understand our report better. In this article,
we are talking about how to use parameter to control the Expand/Collapse drill-down options in SSRS report.
Consider that the report has a dataset (dsSales) with following fields: SalesTerritoryGroup, SalesTerritoryCountry, CalendarYear, SalesAmount.
1. The report has the following group settings:
Parent Group: SalesTerritoryGroup
Child Group: SalesTerritoryCountry
  Child Group: CalendarYear
   Details: SalesAmount
2. Add three parameters in the report:
GroupExpand:
Available Values: “Specify values”
Label: Yes           Value: Yes
Label: No            Value: No
Default Values: “Specify values”
Value: Yes
CountryExpand:
Available Values: “Specify values”
Label: Yes           Value: =IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="No",Nothing,"Yes")
Label: No            Value: No
Default Values: “Specify values”
Value: =IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="No","No","Yes")
YearExpand:
Available Values: “Specify values”
Label: Yes
Value: =IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="No" or Parameters!CountryExpand.Value="No",Nothing,"Yes")
Label: No            Value: No
Default Values: “Specify values”
Value: =IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="No" or Parameters!CountryExpand.Value="No","No","Yes")
3. Right click SalesTerritoryCountry icon in the Row Groups dialog box, select Group Properties.
4. Click Visibility in the left pane. Select “Show or hide based on an expression” and type with following expression:
=IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="Yes", False, True)
Select “Display can be toggled by this report item” option, and select “SalesTerritoryGroup” in the drop down list.
5. Use the same method setting CalendarYear, (Details) drill-down with following expression:
=IIF(Parameters!CountryExpand.Value="Yes", False, True)
=IIF(Parameters!YearExpand.Value="Yes", False, True)
6. Click SalesTerritoryGroup text box in the tablix. Select InitialToggleState property in the Properties dialog box, and type following expression:
=IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="Yes", True, False)
7. Use the same method setting SalesTerritoryCountry, CalendarYear text box with following expression:
=IIF(Parameters!CountryExpand.Value="Yes", True, False)
=IIF(Parameters!YearExpand.Value="Yes", True, False)
After that, when we preview the report, we can use these three parameters to expand/collapse drill-down.
Note:
In our test, we may meet following issue. We can check the expression of InitialToggleState property to troubleshooting the issue.

How to use Source Code Control for Large Application?

Hi, All!
I would like to collect knowledge about "best practice" examples for using Source Code Control and project organization for relative large application (let's say approx 1000 SubVIs).
Tools used:
LabVIEW 8.0
CVS Server
PushOK CVS Proxy Client
WinCVS
With LabVIEW 8 we can organize large project pretty well. This described in article Managing Large Applications with the LabVIEW Project.
I have read this article too: Using Source Control Software with LabVIEW In this Article Source Safe used, but with PushOK all looks nearby the same and works (some tricks for compare function are required).
Example. Two developers working together on same project. Internally project is modular, so one developer will work with module "Analysis", and another one with "Configuration" without interferences. These modules placed into Subfolders as shown in example above.
Scenario 1:
Developer A started with modification of module "Analysis". Some files checked out. He would like to add some SubVIs here. So, he must also perform check out for the project file (*.lvproj), otherwise he cannot add anything into project structure.
Developer B at the same time would like to add some new functions into module "Configuration". He also needed to check out project file, but this file already checked out by Developer A (and locked). So, he must wait until lvproj file will be checked in. Another way is mark *.lvproj files as text files in PushOK, but then one of developers will get conflict message by checking in and then merging will be necessary. This situation will coming very often, because in most cases *.lvproj file will be checked out all the time.
Question: Which practice is better for such situation? Is Libraries better than folder for large project?
Scenario 2:
Developer C joined to the team. First, he must get complete project code for starting (or may be at least code of one Library, which assigned to him).
Question: How it can be done within LabVIEW IDE? Or WinCVS (or other SCC UI) should be used for initial checkout?
Scenario 3:
Developer D is responcible for Build. Developers A,B,C have added lot of files into modules "Analysis", Configuration" and "FileIO". For building he need to get complete code. If our project splitted into folders, he should get latest *.lvproj first, then newly added SubVIs will appear in Project Explorer, then he should expand tree, select all SubVIs and get latest versions for all. If Project organized in Libraries, he must do the same for each library, isn't?.
Question: Is this "normal way", or WinCVS should be used for this way? In WinCVS its possible with two mouseclicks, but I prefer to get all code from CVS within LabVIEW IDE recursively...
That was a long post... So, if you already working with LabVIEW 8 with SCC used for large project, please post your knowledge here about project structure (Folders or Libraries) and best practices, its may be helpful and useful for all of us. Any examples/use cases/links etc are appreciated.
Thank you,
Andrey

Regarding your scenarios:
1. Using your example, let's say both developers checked out version 3
of the project file. Assuming that there are only files under the
directories in the example project, when Developer A checks in his
version of the project, there will be new files in one section of the
project separate from where Developer B is working. Developer B,
notices that there is now a version 4 of the project. He needs to
resolve the changes so will need to merge his changes to the latest
version of project file. Since the project file is a text file, that is
easy to do. Where an issue arrises is that after Developer B checks in
his merged changes, there is a revision 5. When Developer A and B go to
make another change, they get the latest version which will have the
merged changes to the project file but not the referenced files from
both Developer A and B. So when A opens version 5, he sees that he is
missing the files that B checked in and visa versa. Here is where the
developers will needs to manually use the source control client and,
external to LabVIEW, get those new files.
Where libraries help with the above scenario is that the library is a
separate file from the project so changes made to it outside of the
project do not require the project to be modified. So this time, the
developers are using a single project again which time time references
two libraries. The developers check out the libraries, make changes to
the libraries, and then check those changes in. So when each developer
opens the project file, since it references the project file, the
changes to the library will be reflected. There is still the issue of
the new files not automatically coming down when the latest version of
the library is obtained. Again, the developers will needs to manually
use the source control client and, external to LabVIEW, get those new
files. In general, you should take advantage of the the modularity that
libraries provide.
2. As noted in the above scenario, there is no intrinsic mechanism to
get all files referenced by a LabVIEW project. Files that are missing
will be noted. The developer will then have to use the source control
provider's IDE to get the initial contents of the project (or library).
3. See above scenarios.

How to use the slider to avoid keyframes movements?

Hi there,
first of all, I have to tell, I am not a English speaker, so please excuse me in advance. Anyway, I want to solve this particular issue: I have created an After effects project, where you can add into the composition your own text, logo or whatever... what the after effects project does is, that it turns your text, or logo into the 3D metal result. There is also camera cretaed, which moves from one position, to another. Take a look:
The inputed text is "add content" (I have 4 cameras alltogether, but I am showing an example just on the first one, so you will not see the whole text. The rest of the cameras are also in other compositions)
Here you can see the exact movement of the camera. However, if somebody inserts a logo or a text, which has for example 7 letters (in the next picture it is just "content") it will look like this:
here you can see how big space we have. Also it is not appropriate to change the original size of the text in the composition to achieve the smallest gap, as we can see here. The height will be huge then...
If I would edit it by myself, I would do this:
-I would clicked on the button "2 views" and choose view from the "front"
-Then I would select all the keyframes and after that i would go into the left window "front" and using the mouse I would draged whole the camera to the position I want:
The great thing about this is, that as I selected all the keyframes and then set the red line on one of them, the camrea will work even for the beginning! So this is how it will look after the fix.
What the problem is, that after the small edit I want to send this project to few of my friends. Then they can easily put their text, or logo in. The text will have different height, width...it will be shorter or longer. I was just wondering, if you could help with some expressions, linkings and so on, so in the final result, of one my friends could move with the whole camera (not just with one keyframe) using the SLIDER CONTROL. At least for the x and y axis, if z axis is also possible, it would be brilliant. It also doesn't matter how many sliders there will be .
So basically with using the sliders, they should achieve this:
So i need some helpful steps. Please help me. This is very important for me. I will be so much thankful!! Really! (Thanks for the potential help )

You are way over thinking your problem and potentially headed down a path that will cause more problems that it will solve.
If you have a camera path that is already animated and you want to change the position of the camera path as a whole the easiest way to do that would be to create a null and then parent the camera to the null. Move the null and all of the camera movements you have set up will follow. No expressions are needed. This is the easiest way to change every aspect of a motion path, rotate the entire path, scale the path, or move the path on any axis.
If you really want to use 3 position sliders to move existing keyframes to a new value adding value + expressions values will allow you to do this. Just add an three expression control sliders to the camera layer (or any layer like the null you are using as a parent) select the name of the slider in the ECW and press enter and rename it. Something like this will be the result.
Notice that I also have rotation and scale controls in this setup. Now that you have 3 sliders you can separate the position property of the null into individual values enable expressions in each property and type in value +, then use the pickwhip to drag from the X value to your slider named xPosition (in my example) and repeat for each operation. The value + will add the value of the slider to the current value of the position keyframes. The expression will look like this for X:
value + effect("x position")("Slider")
If you want to use sliders I would use a null, add expression controls to the null for position, scale, and rotation, keep the camera position property unified and then use your expression control sliders on the null to modify your existing path. I would not suggest doing this directly on camera position with separated X, Y and Z values because this will change the shape of your camera path and would be more difficult to control. You'll probably also want to create a camera POInull and use this preset to tie the camera's point of interest to the null.
Here's an animation preset you can apply to a null that will give complete control to the motion path of any animated layer you make the child of this null. Search Animation Preset in the After Effects Search Help field if you do not know how to use them, create them, and save them.
As a final gimme, here's a CS6 project using this animation preset to control a null's position that used to change an animated camera path.
