Appbuilder and a custom menu ?

Hi, when I build an app that uses a custom menu the installed
program is missing the menu. In the builder I have added it
as an aux file. Can anyone tell me how I'm suppose to use
AppBuilder and a custom menu.

Steve Drake

I really hate this, but I found my own stupid mistake. In the
windows executable from the icon I forgot to put on the menu handling.
Enable that and everything is ok.

BPC V7 MS CUSTOM MENU DOES NOT WORK

Hello all,
We are in the process of upgrading from BPC V5 to BPC V7 Microsoft and my custom menu no longer works. I am using Windows XP Pro, Office 2007 and BPC 7.0. I have a file called M01Summary2.xlt which contains various graphs that change whenever the settings in the current view are changed. On my EV_DEFAULT worksheet the settings are: Action is HIGHLIGHT, P1 is Reports\Wizard\ProcessMenu\MenuReports\M01Summary2.xlt, P2 is blank, P3 is blank, P4 is DEFAULT. When I test the custom menu, the graphs do not appear on the EV_RESULT worksheet. I can change a cell on M01Summary2.xlt (say add a color to the cell), save the file and the test the custom menu again and the color will appear in EV_RESULT but not the graphs. Can anyone offer any suggestions to fix this problem? Does V7 not recognize graphs? Could it be the fact that I'm using Office 2007? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Renee

Please check the SAP Note 1404813. It seems a well known behavior and it should have been fixed in 7.5 SP1.
It seems that this issue only happens when working with Excel 2007. With Excel 2003 all works fine.

Dynamic custom menu

Hi all,
I have a custom menu with a step that should open an input schedule.
Therefore I added a OPENWEBFILE action in the EV_DEFAULT sheet.
The path linked to this step should change according to a dimension of the current view.
For instance,
-if DIMENSION=XX, the path should be INPUTSCHEDULES/XX/filename.xlt
-if DIMENSION=YY, the path should be INPUTSCHEDULES/YY/filename.xlt
I found a way to do it, but the formula is not refreshing when I change the current view, and the custom menu always open the same input schedule. The only way to refresh it is to go back to the EV_DEFAULT sheet and click on ETools, CustomMenuManager, Test Current Worksheet: this is something that a user is not allowed to do.
Do you have any idea about this? What could be a possible solution? Maybe a macro with an EV formula that refreshes the custom menu?
Thanks for your help

Please enable the custom menu in BPC administration console and use the Open Custom Menu option in BPC for Excel to open the appropriate custom menu. Please check here whether the custom menu is refreshed or not. Test Current Worksheet is supposed to simulate this and test the custom menu before enabling it in the BPC administration consol.
Custom menus already have macro functions included in it. Please try to utilise those macros when necessary, instead of building new ones.

Custom menu seems to be bogging the system

Hello to all.
I'm replacing the default menu with a custom menu and the custom menu seems to be slowing everything down to a crawl. When we used this menu system in 8.1.7 everything worked fine. Now we're hitting a 9i system (all's been recompiled) and the custom menu is killing my performance. As soon as I replace that default menu the system bogs down. I jarred up a couple of images in the custom menu so some of the images are in the jar and the rest were not jarred up I'm guessing they're being found on the server just as the default menu does. Do I need to jar up replacement images for all images in my custom menu so that the menu is accessing everything from one source? Or can I somehow hack the default menu to meet my needs?
Thx - J

Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its Encore

My project is edited in CS4.
I moved it to Encore CS4.
I don't want to use any of the supplied menu templates in CS4 Encore.
I was hoping CS4 would be all I needed to create custom menus using scenes from my project.
My question is: Can I take a frame from my project and use it as a custom menu background with CS4 and its built in Encore or do I need some other element from the Adobe catalog to make these custom chapter menus and sub-menus?
Thanks Jim

OK, I'm back. Here are my steps for creating Custom Menus with PS, En and PrPro:
In PrPro, move the CTI (Current Time Indicator) to the desired Frame. Check Frames on either side, with the Program Monitor’s Magnification to 100%, or maybe even 200% (you’ll need to scroll, but get a really clear picture). You want the clearest Frame in that area. With AME, in CS4, you’ll want to Export that Frame as .TIFF, or .BMP. I use .TIFF for this.
Now, for a caveat. When you Import this Exported Frame into Photoshop, be sure to check the specs., especially the PAR. You may have to use Image>PAR to adjust this to match your Project’s specs. Or, all might be perfect - just check this out.
Now, at this point, I choose the Library Menu, Blank, so that everything is setup. One can create the Menu from scratch, but careful attention needs to be paid to the exact naming conventions. At the very least, unless you’ve done this dozens of times before, use that Blank Menu, or similar as a guide, so you get things done, as they must be done.
Using that Blank Menu, just drag the Layer from your Exported Frame to your Menu image. It will appear above the black Background.
Add, or manipulate your Button Layer Sets, as is required, keeping them together. Remember that Button #1 will be the Button Layer Set, that is lower down in the Layers Palette. This can play a roll with Button Routing, back in Encore. Lower Button Layer Sets will have lower Button numbers.
Now, I always rename my Button Layer Sets, keeping the required characters - just changing the name. I also do all of my Button text in PS, and make sure to turn OFF Sync Button Names.
When done, Save_As .PSD, and then Import_As_Menu into Encore. Note: if you start with the Blank Menu, you can choose Edit in Photoshop, and then when done in PS, you just need to Save, and it will update in Encore. This is a personal workflow choice. I do the Edit in Photoshop route, but it is not necessary. One just needs to Import the resulting .PSD into Encore with Import_As_Menu, so that Encore does all the things that it needs to and recognizes the .PSD as a Menu.
When deciding what to base your Menu on, remember that you can "populate" your Menu with Buttons from the Functional Content. I’d suggest studying these Assets, and picking the ones that work best for you. You can still alter/edit those back in PS, so you just need to "get close."
Pay special attention to the required naming conventions. You cannot deviate from those first characters in the Button Layer Sets. They MUST be followed.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
Good luck,
Hunt

Custom Menu and Word

Is it possible to open a Wordfile from a Custom Menu?

I get this error message when I have posted the document on the BPC WEB and the using OPENURL in the custom menu:

Create custom menu and add menu elements to it

hi,
i used the sample javacript "ScriptMenuAction.jsx" to create a custom menu.
that script has this command: var mySampleScriptAction = app.scriptMenuActions.add("Display Message");
which adds submenu called Display message.
my question is how to add a submenu to "Display message" submenu... i mean when we click on "File" menu, it shows "New" as the 1st element..if we click on "New" it shows another window giving option to create a new document, book or library....how to create such structure for my custom menu using javascript?
thanks

The command you quoted is not the part of the code that adds a Submenu. This adds a ScriptMenuAction. The key is that actions are decoupled from menu/submenus/menuitem stuff. Take a look at the menu/submenu hierarchy to add the structure you need. This page may help you:

How to load and save custom workspaces in PE7

I've written a little utility which allows PE7 users to load and save custom workspaces. It's attached to post #1 of this thread.
System requirements
The utility has been tested with Windows XP Pro SP3 only. It might or might not run under Vista. It will only work with PE7 installations where the executable files are in the default places.
Installation
When you have downloaded the utility (it's only 199KB) you can run it from any convenient place in your system - it doesn't need to be installed as such.
Usage
It's pretty self-explanatory in use but here's the manual!
Run the downloaded utility "PE7WS.exe".
A file selection dialog appears. Choose the workspace layout file you wish to use. "LastUsed.layout" is the last used workspace (that's all you will be offered the first time you run the program). If you press Cancel at this point, the program will exit and nothing will happen.
Once you have selected the workspace, click "Open" and Premiere Elements 7 will run, using the workspace layout you chose.
After you exit from Premiere Elements 7, a workspace layout file save dialog will appear. If you made changes to the workspace during your Premiere Elements 7 session, you can now give the revised workspace a name and save it.
Do not save the workspace in a different directory from that which the dialog offers!
If you have changed an existing custom workspace, and you want to update the version previously stored, just select the name and over-write the saved workspace layout with the new one.
If you don't want to save the workspace at all, just click "Cancel" - next time you run Premiere Elements, you can choose the "LastUsed.layout" workspace to use that last used unsaved workspace in any event.
If you use the PE7WS utility to run Premiere Elements 7, and then you use the menu option "Window > Restore Workspace", then exit, you can either cancel the workspace saving stage, (which will mean that "LastUsed.layout" will contain that default workspace), or you could give that default workspace a name like "PE7 Default" so you can start a future Premiere Elements 7 session with the default workspace, even though you last used a custom workspace.
If you run Premiere Elements 7 in the usual way without using PE7WS.exe, the workspace that appears will be the last used one.
The usual disclaimer...
The utility should be entirely safe in use, but I can't accept responsibility for any loss or damage it might cause. However, the only file manipulation is does is to workspace files in the directory that Premiere Elements 7 uses purely for the purpose - the utility doesn't go anywhere near your precious project files.

I'm finding it very handy on my particular twin 22" monitor setup to sometimes use a one-screen layout and sometimes a two screen layout. I 'discovered' that having the timeline on the second monitor enables me to tweak edits there while having the playback full size after pressing the "full screen" button on the first monitor. Where the timeline would normally be I have the history, mixer, and other windows always open. As the second monitor is also used by another PC (the one I have the net and email etc on) using "Maxivista" monitor sharing software, I revert to single screen layout when doing stuff like exporting to DVD so I can see what is going on with the render while typing stuff like this.
Selectable workspaces are dead handy!

Not getting updates and horrible customer service

I ordered service on 3/26 for 3-bureau monitoring service and received my report and scores. Since then, I've had 2 major things happen to my credit reports. A 90% UTI credit card (nearly 4k) was paid off, and posted to all 3 of my credit reports as $0 balance, and a collection has fallen off of my Transunion report. I have confirmed on all of reports that the events took place through fresh credit pulls from other means. I call up today to find out why my I'm not being alerted to the changes and the customer service agent said that she doesn't know when alerts are suppose to happen. She then said I don't get them right away and I have to wait a few days for them to pop up, and I have to wait until the credit bureaus send the information to myFico before I'm alerted and it could take days. This doesn't make sense, the point of alerts is to notify me immediately when a change occurs so that I can take corrective action if something's wrong with my report and to keep up with my scores. This is the way it worked when I paid for SW a couple years ago. I purchased this so as I apply for some loans with HPs and pay off my bills I can keep track of my score and be notified when the HPs happen and keep an eye out for identity theft. Obviously according the customer service agent, this is not how the system works, so I'm lost at why I would pay $25/mo for the service. Additionally, the customer service agent was rude and unprofessional, has no clue how the system works, and is a detriment to your company. I cancelled my account, and she made it well known that she was perfectly fine with that. Apparently, you guys don't want my business.

Weird custom menu behavior in 8.2

I'm in charge of upgrading a large project from LV 7.1 to 8.2 and I ran into several problems but was able to resolve them except 2 major ones (not including the crashing tables and indices in self-indexing while loops).
1) Our custom menu now seems to badly lag when trying to open it. Takes a good 2-3 seconds for any items to show up when the application is running and this behavior continues UNTIL i switch to the block diagram and put in the password for our application (to access the code). This definitely seems like a bug and I wasn't able to find any similar posts. Is this a known issue? Why does it happen?
2)Badly lagging .VIT files. We have about 7 custom display .vit subvis which get called as clones by the application. They're not marked as re-entrant and I know 8.x changed the pass-by-value to pass-by-reference handling of clones. Is this the case? Why are my .vit now running twice as slow as in 7.1 on the same computer?
Altenbach mentioned overlapping elements on the FP of the .vit's in another post, but could someone clear this up for me please? Does slightly overlapping cursor display on a wavegraph count? Or is this when you have a completely different FP control right on top of another control? Any help is greatly appreciated.Message Edited by romulus on 01-24-2007 08:27 AM
Message Edited by romulus on 01-24-2007 08:31 AM

Hey romulus,
I am still not fully understanding the best way to try and reproduce your issue. If I were to create a new VI with a custom runtime menu in 7.1, then lock the block diagram with a password, and then open this VI in 8.20, should it display this behavior? I will continue trying to reproduce this on my machine, but have been unable to thus far. If you can provide a VI that replicates this problem, I would be happy to talk with R&D about it and see what is happening to cause the issue. Thanks!!

How to use standard VS commands in custom menu (vsct)

Hi,
I have a .vsct file which defines a custom menu. I want to add some default Visual Studio commands to this menu as well. I already managed to add some default commands such as copy / paste:
<UsedCommands>
<UsedCommand guid="guidVSStd97" id="cmdidCopy"/>
</UsedCommands>
<CommandPlacements>
<CommandPlacement guid="guidVSStd97" id="cmdidCopy" priority="0x0100">
<Parent guid="guidMyMenuCommands" id="grpMyMenu"/>
</CommandPlacement>
</CommandPlacements>
When I do this, the "Copy" command shows up in my custom menu, with default Icon, text and shortcut - just as it should be. However, this does not work for all commands. To be precise, when I want to add the following commands...
<UsedCommand guid="guidVSStd2K" id="ECMD_FORMATDOCUMENT"/>
<UsedCommand guid="guidVSStd2K" id="ECMD_COMMENT_BLOCK"/>
<UsedCommand guid="guidVSStd2K" id="ECMD_UNCOMMENT_BLOCK"/>
...nothing happens - no entry is added to my custom menu. How can I include the above default commands in a custom menu?
Thanks,
Max

I just found out that the above commands are there after all, but they are invisible until a source code file is opened. I expected them to be grayed out instead of being totally invisible.
Nevertheless, there are some commands that cannot be "instantiated" with the CommandPlacement tag. Instead, one needs to create a button for the respective command to show up in the menu. The following code shows an example:
<UsedCommands>
<UsedCommand guid="guidVSStd97" id="cmdidGotoDefn" />
</UsedCommands>
<Commands>
<Buttons>
<Button guid="guidVSStd97" id="cmdidGotoDefn" priority="0x0400">
<Parent guid="guidMyMenuCommands" id="grpMyMenu" />
<Strings>
<ButtonText></ButtonText>
</Strings>
</Button>
</Buttons>
</Commands>

Return to Widget Browser for editing a customized Menu Bar?

How to edit a Spry Menu 2.0 _after_ customizing with the Adobe Widget Browser and inserting the menu and further structural customizing via DW CS5?
Yes, the new Browser and the new Menu 2.0 are a large step forward - thanks! But no resources (searched high and low ...) show how to return to the Widget Browser, and all its wonderful configuration tools, once a menu is inserted.
The Widget Browser apparently does not allow setting up correct button labels, levels, etc.; instead the Widget Browser is where all the 'style' configuration is done. So, we use the Widget Browser to configure / style a Spry Menu 2.0 and then insert it into a page with DW CS5. Of course, then the menu has to get the correct button labels, levels, etc. So further structural customization, in DW.
Now, we decide we want to try out some alternative styling, to compare and contrast options. Of course, that means we want to return to the Widget Browser again and use it. That CSS is hard in a widget such as this, and the whole point of the Widget Browser is to make that styling accessible.
How to do that, to return to the Widget Browser - and at the same time not lose all the structural customization done in DW?
What are we missing? Your help is most greatly appreciated. David Allen

Yes, of course! Add an ID to each main menu bar item (customize...) and in the CSS, make descendant selectors that include the ID and indicate the background color for that section.
For this set of menu items:
<li id="food"><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">Food</a>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">Item 1.1</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Item 1.2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Item 1.3</a></li>
    </ul>
</li>
these selectors:
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li#food a.MenuBarItemHover,
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li#food a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover,
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li#food a.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
    background-color: green;
will add the background-color 'green' to all hovered menu list items (and submenu list items) of the list item with the id="food".
If you want yet another color for the submenus, do it this way:
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li#food a.MenuBarItemHover
    background-color: green;
and
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li#food a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover,
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li#food a.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
    background-color: lightgreen;
this latter will catch all the submenus's hover background-color.

How to add custom menu options in myaccounts module?

Hi experts,
To implement this, I have found myaccount.xml file in UI of myaccounts module. In this file, I found only menu headings but not menu options. Can anyone explain where data of menu options were populated from and how can I add my custom menu options? I also have tried to delete the menu heading but there was no effect. Please help!! I'm on WEC 1.0.
Regards,
Daro

Hi Daro,
the path to the billing module is "sap.com/wec/ecom/mc/billing". But nevertheless
1. you need only to enhance in your current modul the metadata.xml file with the link to your own myaccount.xml which you can create.
2. and then you can define within the new file the menu options you need.
3. the last step is to update your shop configuration with the new menu options.
Best regards,
Nico

Labview freeze when accessing a custom menu with data on the clipboard

This one has got me stumped: When selecting a custom menu item with data on the clipboard the GUI freezes. Freezes are longer for more data and longer for older versions of Labview. I wrote the test code, attached, but the example "Menu Selection Demo.vi" shows the same behavior.
Running Labview 2011 here are some freeze delays for my laptop (a bit slower machine) with various amounts of text data on the clipboard:
Clipboard size        Delay
1.3MB                   2.1 sec
2.6MB                   4.9 sec
3.8MB                   17.2 sec
14MB                    253.3 sec
The delay appears to be non-linear. A doubling of the clipboard data size more than doubles the delay and a tripling of the clipboard data size produces a delay of almost 10X! Things are also much, much worse on my ancient version 8.2.1 (over a 40 second freeze for 1.3MB and it goes up from there).
Note that the freeze also occurs on programs with a custom menu when exiting. This would seem to suggest it might have something to do with the timeout, but why timeout should vary with clipboard size and not with the value wired to it makes this feel even more like a bug in the custom menu functionality.
This seems to be related to known issues in Labview 2011 #39604 49UBP4LE (http://www.ni.com/white-paper/13168/en#39604_by_Date) that was first reported in version 8.2.1. This known issue relates to Labview freezing when large amounts of data are copied from Labview to the clipboard. No fix has been implemented since this was originally reported in 2007.
This freeze also occurs when shortcuts to menu items (such as Ctrl + L) are used when large amounts of data are on the clip board.
Thus far this has been 100% repeatable and I have not been able to find a way around it. I also haven't found anything else similar on the forums or on the web. It appears to be a GUI freeze with Labview still running in the background, which is also odd.
My work-arounds at this point are either to not use the clipboard (bad), programatically clear the clipboard several times each second (worse) or remove all custom menu functionality and replace those functions with onscreen controls. So, for now, I'm removing custom menu items because my users need the clipboard and I can't have massive delays making my data acquisition code look crashed.
Any ideas would be helpful. This one has me scratching my head...

Well, doing Microsoft Word, Excel and what else on a computer that is used to run an important production test, is a very bad idea. There is no way that you can guarantee, that one of these applications is not causing some interruption to the currently running time critical task. Word and Excel and just about any other computer application can crash, lock up the computer or eat your breakfast while you are doing seemingly harmless things.
The issue with the clipboard in LabVIEW is indeed a problem that exists for a long time and I hope they fix it sometime, but the fact remains, that you should NEVER use a computer for other tasks while you run a test or other manufacturing related application on it, when a failure of that application can cost you more than a few pennies.
