Adding functionality to existing buttons, not overriding

Hi,
I have a toolbar that I created that has some new buttons as well as some of the already existing buttons in acrobat. I know we can use AVSetExecuteProc() to set the functionality of the buttons. For the already existing buttons, is there some way to add to the existing functionality and not completely override it?

Hi,
I'm trying to "head patch" the button's execution proc. How could I achieve
this?

Adding functionality to Next button

Hi,
I am inplementing a train with 3 pages. While navigating from page 2 to page 3. I need to fire a server side API. I am having difficulty in distinguishing the "Next" and "Back" buttons since both buttons raised the "goto" event. As a result my validation fires on both Next and Back button. How can I distinguish the Next button from Back button, or how can I work around it.
Thnaks a lot

I figured it out. It seeme like the framework is maintaing a parameter name "value" which contain the target page. Here is how it work for me..
if (("goto".equals(pageContext.getParameter(EVENT_PARAM))) &&
("3".equals(pageContext.getParameter("value"))))

Is it possible to set up a form with a submit button where the data in the fields gets added to an existing excel file, just like 'collect response' but without connecting to the internet?

I have a form that I want to use to collect peoples information with a submit button. I am trying to get the data that gets inserted to be added to an existing excel doc when the submit button gets hit, the form then resets and someone else can fill in the same form, hit submit and his data gets added to the existing data in the same excel doc. It is basically the same as the 'collecting response' option but without having to be online. The form is going to be used at a boat-show and I am going to get people to fill it out on an iPad. Does anybody know if this is possible?

You could connect a bunch of 3700s to each computer and do this .
Or...since you're the one who monitors the monthly limit, you could restrict an individual's internet access once you see that you guys are coming too close to the cap.

Substitution not carried out when WBS is added to an existing project......

Hi, I have created a substitution rule to substitute the investment profile in my projects with a blank for any WBS which is not level one. I am not sure why this rule does not take effect immediately a new WBS is included. When I try to carry out the substitution manually, I get the error message 'Error when processing asset under construction (AuC) for WBS element'. Any ideas how I can get this substituion to work when a new WBS is added to an existing project?

You should use the substitution otherway....
I believe your project is in REL status and also you have defaulted IM profile in the project, so whenever you create a WBSE, the IM profile is inherited to the WBSE and since it is in REL status, the system will create an AUC based on your IM profile and now you are using substituition to remove the IM profile so this will cause the problem...Instead of this....try this...do not default IM profile in project, and instead of removing IM profile for all WBSE which is not level 1, use substitution to write IM profile in WBSE which is only level 1.

Calling a remote enabled function module which does not exist in caller sys

Hi,
I have a a system ABC from which I am trying call a rfc enabled fm(Test) present in system XYZ.
The fm(Test) does not exist in the system ABC so I am getting generation errors and dumps.
Is there a way for me to call these remote enabled function modules which does not exist in the caller system without the obvious errors etc.
Is there any special way.
Thanks

Hi,
please check this sample:
REPORT zcallfm                                 .
DATA: xv_return TYPE sysubrc.
CALL FUNCTION 'DOESNOTEXIST'
DESTINATION   'NOWHERE'
EXPORTING     caller                = sy-sysid
IMPORTING     return                = xv_return
EXCEPTIONS    system_failure        = 1
              communication_failure = 2
              OTHERS                = 4.
It shouldn't throw any generation errors in your system!

thanks for your reply but I need more specific operation.
maybe I am not very clear about the problem one. I mean when I run the code in standard mode, if I click the browse button, a window will pop out and I can choose a video file from my local harddisk. but if I run it in "web start execution" mode and "run in browser" mode. the browse button make no response when I click it.

How to popup a page from a button not in a region position

Hello.
I am using Apex 2.2.1. I have a form (not a report) on which I've placed a button that is positioned "among the items" as opposed to being placed in a specific region position.
When the button is clicked I would like to have another page popup. The problem is that I can get this to work only if the button is placed in a region position. With the button in a region position, I define the target to be a URL and then place a call to the popUp2 function, as in:
javascript:popUp2('f?p=&APP_ID.:32:&SESSION.::NO:::', 900, 700);
This works fine.
However, I need to position my button on the immediate right hand side of a form item. But when I create a button in such a position, I have no field in which to place the call to the popUp2() function. Instead, I have to create a "Branch to Page or URL" and then place my javascript call in the Branch field. Unfortunately, when I click the button, Apex wants to branch to page zero instead of the desired page. I saw that when I move the mouse over the button, Apex shows:
javascript: doSubmit('MY_BUTTON_REQUEST');
And, as mentioned, Apex tries to branch to page zero.
How does one call the popUp2() function from a button that is not placed in a region position?
Thank you for your help.
Elie

Hi Elie,
I had the same problem ... I only got it solved with creating a hidden item and adding the input-tag into the "Post Element Text" field.
Just have a look in the source code of your page, how a button is build and copy the necesaary code to the mentioned field. So you get a button with ApEx layout and can add your javascript call.

Button not working into a movieClip

Hi i have made a movieclip and there is 2 buttons into that movieClips I have added Events on those buttons but those are not working. here my code
links.demoButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK.democlick)
links.livelinkButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK.liveclick)
function democlick(event:MouseEvent):void{
trace('demo button working')
function liveclick(event:MouseEvent):void{
trace('live button working')

if demoButton and livelinkButton were created in the ide (and not using actionscript), use:
links.getChildByName("demoButton").addEvent...etc
links.getChildByName("livelinkButton").addEvent...etc

Toolbar Button not Appearing in Plugin

The following code is not producing a button in the file toolbar in Acrobat 8 Professional, despite being called from PluginInit:
bool AddToolbarItems()
AVToolBar toolBar = AVAppGetToolBar();
AVToolButton endToolsGroupButton;
//No tool bar?
if (!toolBar) return false;
DURING
//Get the sep button
endToolsGroupButton = AVToolBarGetButtonByName(toolBar, ASAtomFromString("endToolsGroup"));
//Set up add file button
attachButton = AVToolButtonNew(ASAtomFromString("DCA:ACRAddFileButton"), GetAddFileIcon(), true, false);
AVToolButtonSetExternal(attachButton, TOOLBUTTON_EXTERNAL);
AVToolBarAddButton(toolBar, attachButton, true, endToolsGroupButton);
AVToolButtonSetExecuteProc(attachButton, ASCallbackCreateProto(AVExecuteProc, AddFile), NULL);
AVToolButtonSetComputeEnabledProc(attachButton, ASCallbackCreateProto(AVComputeEnabledProc, PluginIsEnabled), NULL);
AVToolButtonSetHelpText(attachButton, "Add File to ACR");
HANDLER
return false;
END_HANDLER
return true;
What am I missing? I can attach to Acrobat.exe and walk through the code, so I know it's executing.
Thanks.

Leonard:
Thanks for the reply.
> AVAppGetToolbar - what toolbar are you expecting here? Perhaps you want a specific toolbar - or at least one that you create yourself...
This was the issue.
The docs describe AVAppGetToolbar as:
"Retrieves a special toolbar representing the union of all toolbars in the system....If this toolbar is passed to AVToolBarAddButton(), the newly added button will actually be placed on the File menu, unless it is being positioned next to an existing button, in which case it will be placed on the same toolbar as the existing button."
Perhaps when I looked for the "endToolsGroup" button, it added it to an unexpected toolbar? Dunno.
AVAppGetToolBarByName("File") worked great.
Thanks,
Brett

File.exists() is not accurate on smb2 network share (use WatchService?)

Hi,
According to this document: SMB2 Client Redirector Caches Explained File.exists() is not accurate on a smb2 network share. I am not able to change any register settings, so I want to deal with it. According to the document there is an API to get the notifications from the file system. I assumed that the WatchService is the Java implementation of this API. Am I correct?
I started with the WatchDir example from the jdk samples and stripped it a bit. I only need to know when a file is created and delete (I don't care about file modifications). For testing I have added new File.exists() when a new event has been triggered. I also start a separated Thread which test the file existence also. When I don't start this separated thread the file exists returns true immediately. When the extra thread is started it is not accurate any more. I need a more accurate file.exists check in the whole application and all running threads.
The output for my test case is this:
FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
watch registered for dir: subdir\
FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
WatchDir event: ENTRY_CREATE: test.txt
WatchDir: subdir\test.txt exists == false
FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == false
FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == true
FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == true
FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == true
FileExistsThread: subdir\test.txt == true
As you can see the file test.txt is created on line 9. The FileExistsThread have seen it on line 20, (at least 10 x 300 ms later).
For testing I have used 2 Windows 7 pc's (with smb2 enabled which is default). The working directory must be on the remote pc and the file test.txt must be created (or copied from another folder) on the remote pc (not using the network drive, but on the pc itself).

If you donot have access to note 45172.1 as specified by Laurent Schneider.
Snippet from note
a. Mapped Drive : To use a mapped drive, the user that the service starts as
must have setup a drive to match UTL_FILE_DIR and be logged onto the server
when UTL_FILE is in use.
b. Universal Naming Convention : UNC is preferable to Mapped Drives because
it does not require anyone to be logged on and UTL_FILE_DIR should be set to
a name in the form :
\\\<machine name>\<share name>\<path>
or
"\\<machine name>\<share name>\<path>"
