Adding commands to a canvas

when the canvas is set to full screen and commands are added to it, the menu will appear if you press either the left or right button near the screen.. is it possible to make it appear only when the left button is pressed and not the right?

I don't think so, but it will depend on the target device. Try to draw some kind of "menu" using the paint and keypressed methods? You'll have to do it manually (coding), there are not standard components for that. Warning: Not easy!

Programatically adding command links in ADF Tree?

Hi,
I am using Build JDEVADF_11.1.1.3.PS2_GENERIC_100408.2356.5660. Can anyone please provide me some sample code for programatically adding dynamically generated ADF command links in the nodes of ADF Tree(Tree nodes in it are created using View Object - Drag & drop of data control). Now how can i add links in the nodes generated.
Thanks,
Vik

Hi,
try setting partialSubmit=true on the command link. Just in case it fires the action method before the context menu displays

Adding commands to FrameMaker 8's menus

Well, I thought it was straightforward. I entered these two commands in mycustomui.cfg so I can open some reference docs:
<Add Separator4          <Menu !HelpMenu>>
        <Command _MYCharSet <Label Insert Characters Palette>
<Hypertext message openfile fminit/Plugins/MultiPageSymbolPalette.fm>>
        <Add _MYCharSet <Menu !HelpMenu>>
        <Command _MYcustomB <Label FM Escape Shortcuts>
<Hypertext message openfile help/Commands[i]_8.0p277_UKE_FDK.pdf>>
        <Add _MYcustomB <Menu !HelpMenu>>
The commands show up in the menu, but they are grayed out.
When I enter these commands as hypertext in a regular document, the files open, so I know the paths are correct.
I'm sure the fix is simple, but I can't figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated!

I've done more testing with FM8, FM9, and FM10.
It seems that Arnis's observation that separators can cause problems is correct. With insertion of Separator4, the new commands are grayed out. Without it, they work correctly. Both absolute and relative filenames are accepted.
Arnis is incorrect, however, that a semicolon at the start of a line comments it out.
According to "Customizing Frame Products":
      Text outside angle brackets is treated as a comment. Don’t include angle brackets in comments.
Therefore, a semicolon before the <Add Separator4 ... > line has no real effect--only the semicolon itself is ignored.
The separator is fine in FM9 and FM10.
Also, make sure your angle backets balance correctly.

Adding commands to tree renderer

Hello
Quick question:
I have a layout set similar to the adminexplorer.
Is there any way I can add a command group to each resource within the folder tree, e.g using a hover menu? This would allow users to delete or rename folders from within the tree area.
Thanks for the help!
Chris

Hi Chris,
The "AdminCollectionTreeRenderer" you are talking about is a CollectionRenderer, but I am talking about changing ResourceRenderer.
Please refer to this to know about the settings you can make on ResourceRenderer:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/50/041142e862654ca98ced1607386c9c/frameset.htm
About CollectionRenderer:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/87/3d48475ee8bd448c4031aa98d90524/frameset.htm
I expect that you duplicated your "AdminExplorer" Layoutset, and if so you will see "AdminResourceRenderer" which is responsible to render the ListView on the right side of your Layout.
To extend the functioanlity you need to duplicate "AdminTreeResourceRenderer" and assign this to your LayoutSet and make all the settings as I told in my previous post.
So now you should see two ResourceRenderer set to your LayoutSet, and this should now solve your problem.
Hope this helps

Adding text to java3d canvas

Hi,
I have a java3d program running.Now in my running java3d program in the java3d scene i have to draw some lines by dragging the mouse (I am able to do that)....then at any point on some event i should be able to add text (say "these to lines are parallel")..
Can you explain or give me a working example which has the similar functionality.This will be a great help. As we are new to java3d technology.this is very urgent.Thanks in advance
shyam

Try this:
import java.awt.Font;
import. javax.vecmath.Color3f;
int size= 120;
Text2D textObject = new Text2D("These two lines are parallel", new Color3f(1f, 1f, 1f),
"Serif", size, Font.BOLD);
yourTranslationGroup.addChild(textObject);
Note: you may have to add a rotation, to make sure the text us oriented such that it's perpendicular to the camera.
Cheers,

Mapping BACK key

Hi,
I'm trying to map the BACK and EXIT keys(the above two keys in device see the link) using Canvas with fullscreen mode. The problem is when I press these keys, a menu appears instead of just perform the action, which is not reasonable. for example, in a game with fullscreen mode and two labels in the bottom(back and exit). Anyone know how can I do that?

Thanks alot,

It looks like you are adding Commands to your Canvas. Then, when you press one of the soft buttons, a menu containing these commands will appear.
Don't add the commands and you should only receive a keyPressed event as a response to soft button press.

Canvas problem while adding forms

I use Netbeans Visual Midlets. I use keypressed class and I added buttons at my Canvas class succesfully. But I am not able to add stringfields or images at canvas class. If I insert images,stringfields and choicefields at getform() class then I can not use this class if I use canvas class. I should implement new images,stringfields and choicefields() at my canvas class or I can use the methods of getform() at canvas class. If I use getform() class then I can't use methods of canvas. I hope I could tell you what I meant. To make it easier, you can see my codes below :
public Form getForm1() {
if (form1 == null) {
// write pre-init user code here
Displayable d2=new ShowMapCanvas2();
Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(d2);
form1 = new Form("form1", new Item[] { getStringItem() });
form1.addCommand(getCancelCommand());
form1.setCommandListener(this);
// write post-init user code here
smc2.keyPressed(keyCode);
public class ShowMapCanvas2 extends Canvas {
public ShowMapCanvas2() {
public Command getCancelCommand() {
if (cancelCommand == null) {
// write pre-init user code here
cancelCommand = new Command("Cancel", Command.CANCEL, 0);
// write post-init user code here
return cancelCommand;
//</
protected void paint(Graphics g) {
setCommandListener(new CommandListener() {
public void commandAction(Command command, Displayable d) {
System.out.println("canvas icindeyim");
if (command == cancelCommand) {
// write pre-action user code here
switchDisplayable(null, getForm());
protected void keyPressed(int keyCode){
System.out.println("icerde");
if(getGameAction(keyCode)==Canvas.FIRE) {
System.out.println("icerdeyim");
repaint();
}

You are saying that when adding images, strings or choice fields to the form works but when you try ti add items like that to a canvas doesn't?
Canvas and Form classes inherit Displayable. You cannot add an images, strings or choice field like you add them to a form simply because canvas class doesn't have a append method. For this you need to use a graphics object and draw the image,string or what ever your self.

David.

Adding SAP CCMS startup command to SAP Start Profile

Hi All,
We need to add SAP CCMS startup command in our SAP start profile.
We use command sapccm4x -DCCMS pf=<> to start SAP CCMS agent .
I expect we need to add this command (sapccm4x -DCCMS pf=<> ) with same protocol to execute it with SAP start profile.
Please let me know how can we add this with SAP start profile.
Shivam Mittal

Hi Eric,
I have added command and CCMS agent is also getting start with SAP startup.
But when I execute command startsap ....like it shows message "database started";;"Instance Started", I am not getting any SAPCCMS agent startup message.
Please suggest how can I get in startsap script SAPCCMS startup confirmation messge also. Does it require change in startsap script or we should some command protocol in startup profie for it.
Please suggest.

Overlay Images and Shapes on the same canvas

The example copde below was taken from: http://math.hws.edu/eck/cs124/javanotes3/source/
Is it possible to update the code so that images (jpg,gif) can be added as well as shapes?
Any help with this is much appreciated.
    The ShapeDraw applet lets the user add small colored shapes to
    a drawing area and then drag them around. The shapes are rectangles,
    ovals, and roundrects. The user adds a shape to the canvas by
    clicking on a button. The shape is added at the upper left corner
    of the canvas. The color of the shape is given by the current
    setting of a pop-up menu. The user can drag the shapes with the
    mouse. Ordinarily, the shapes maintain a given back-to-front order.
    However, if the user shift-clicks on a shape, that shape will be
    brought to the front.
    A menu can be popped up on a shape (by right-clicking or performing
    some othe platform-dependent action). This menu allows the user
    to change the size and color of a shape. It is also possible to
    delete the shape and to bring it to the front.
    This file defines the applet class plus several other classes used
    by the applet, namely: ShapeCanvas, Shape, RectShape, OvalShape,
    and RoundRectShape.

Problem in placing the command

I am developing an application in J2ME. In the midlet I have just added an Exit command and one canvas. But the problem is that the Exit command is coming under Menu. I want it to be displayed as Exit only not under menu. Can you tell me how to overcome this? I am giving you the midlet code.
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Command;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.CommandListener;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Display;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Displayable;
import javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet;
import javax.microedition.midlet.MIDletStateChangeException;
public class GujiMain extends MIDlet {
     private MainMenuCanvas mainMenuCanvas;
     public GujiMain() {
          mainMenuCanvas = new MainMenuCanvas();
     protected void destroyApp(boolean unconditional)throws MIDletStateChangeException {
     protected void pauseApp() {
     protected void startApp() throws MIDletStateChangeException {
          Displayable d = mainMenuCanvas;
          d.addCommand(new Command("Exit", Command.EXIT, 1));
          d.setCommandListener(new CommandListener() {
               public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable d) {
                    notifyDestroyed();
          Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(d);
}

Hi Dhiraj1983.
Your code seems to be OK. But some devices display commands under menu, some other directly. I think that is impossibile to choose this behaviour.

Batch Process Change Canvas Size Buggy

I have 300+ products shots that need to go up to our website.
Using FW CS3 I was able to resize and optimize both full size
images and the thumbnails. The issue is due to our website setup
the thumbnails are expected to be exactly 100x100. If the canvas
size is irregular the image gets stretched or squeezed when served
up on the site.
So I created a custom action to set the canvas size to 100 x
100 with a white background and to expand from the center out. When
I run this manually everything is ducky. But when I add it to my
batch process the actual content of the thumbnails moves from image
to image. Some items are centered fine, some are too far left or
too far right (or high,low) some are shifted so much that they are
actually cut off to the left or right. There seems to be no rhyme
or reason to it.
Here is how the batch is set up:
It grabs the original file ( a press resolution PSD file) and
fit to size to 100 x 100. Then I run the command to set canvas size
to 100x100 white background. And then it exports it to optimized
jpeg. I have tried running the actions separately. And when I just
run the fit to size and optimization as a batch the thumbs look
fine no weird positioning. So I know it is the command.
Any ideas?

Thankyou Heath
If I choose scale > scale to fit area > then choose a maximum width or height, that works for that part of the process.
Percentage doesn’t work, because I need them to be a particular size (either width or height, doesn’t matter , as long as nither of them exceeds 00px)
For the part that I then want to find the smallest measurement (width or height) and make a particular size, there doesn’t seem to be any way that I can find in FW to do that.
But, after searching on line, I found an app that does all that and more, its brilliant. It will find the largest side, the smallest side, or whatever and change it to what you want and rescale the other side to fit.

Has the options for custom command buttons and scripts been removed from speedgrade?

I run alot of framecyclerDI machines and am looking to upgrade them but i cant seem to find any method of adding command bars and buttons like you could in the iridas versions of speedgrade i also cant see a way of executing any external scripts which for me is a big issue as i have a hell of alot of pipeline scripts that the artist could execute.... any ideas or have i just missed somthing ?.......(would love it if they added a python sdk)

Hi Dennis,
Thanks for replying,
Its actually more the other way getting speed grade to control outher things.
i.e
take the in and out points and send the track to a dcp creator
rendering and sending anotated frames directly into my databases notes system
taking the shotname and seeing if theres is a new version avaliable and pull it from the server to the local machine drive/cache
Theres a load more..but you get the idea .. using the buttons to execute these commands in the interface made these functions editor friendly...
I can get round some of the issues by reading from the autosave.ircp and setting up a PYQT GUI but that seems like a bit of a hack.
I understand the reasons to keep the UI uniform (editors dont like it when you move buttons) but Im suprised these options got removed as intergrating software into pre-existing pipelines would seem to be a selling point for any software..
Are there any plans in the roadmap for speedgrade that would help me in the future?
S.P.F
