Applescript: set display alert to false

I am opening excel file with application "Numbers" and I receive the document warning alert box. I wish to ignore (set to false) these warning alerts. I've scripted:
tell application "Numbers"
set display alert to false
(more stuff)
end tell
...but I get a compile error on line 2
please help. thanks

I have looked through the Numbers Applescript dictionary and dont see any property called "display alert" taht can be set to false.
I know that property works in Excel, however i dont think it exists in numbers.
not sure how to accomplish this.

Display alert applescript studio

Hi everyone!
I have used before display alert with default button and alternate button and now I would like to add a third button to my alert. I see there is a possibility of "other button" only it stretches out my alert and puts the third button away from the other two. Is there any other possibilities of adding a third button side by side to the other two? Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Reg

display dialog can only handle three buttons, and you don't have any control over the formatting/placement:
display dialog "blah" buttons {"1", "2", "3"}
If that doesn't work for you, and since you're in AppleScript Studio, just use Interface Builder to create your own alert window with whatever buttons you like.

AppleScript: Set folder name of Folder Action?

Problem:
How to get the folder name that the running Folder Action script is attached too. Script is functional, stdin bash script with AppleScript via osascript. I just want the folder name, not the POSIX path to it. The System Events dictionary suggests this is possible. I don't want to hardcode the action's assigned folder in the bash script if I can get it dynamically from AppleScript. I know how to return it to bash. AppleScript newbie that has spent several hours googling and testing already.
Tried:
tell application "Finder"
     --AppleScript Editor can't get container -- no surprise. Folder action does work
     get POSIX path of (container of ((path to me) as text))
     set workingDir to quoted form of result
     display alert "Current Folder: " message workingDir as critical
end tell
tell application "System Events"
     activate
     --AppleScript Editor can't get name of folder action. Folder action does not work
     set currentDir to name of folder action
end tell
Appreciation for time and solution in advance.

In that case I suggest you make your life easier. delete the osascript bit and just return a 0 or 1 from the shell script. That integer will be passed on to the next action, so add an applescript action that checks to see if the input is 0 or 1 and displays a dialog if necessary:
on run {input, parameters}
          if input as integer > 0 then
-- error
display alert "whatever"
          end if
end run
The only reason I posted in the first place was to assess if it was possible to dynamically discover the folder name of the folder action using AppleScript through an osascript request. If the bash script has to be scrapped and entirely rewritten as a Applescript action -- just to obtain the folder name, then that answers my question.
The purpose of the osascript was to provide an OS X style, user friendly dialog that displays any martian files the bash script ignored. It was the least amount of coding for the result.
I believe that your input example from above would take the exit status from the preceding shell script. How is my invalidFiles variable passed then? In the shell script, I can pipe the invalidFiles printf line to pbcopy to put that content on the clipboard. After the script is done, I can retrieve that information with a pbpaste command. I wonder if this information is available to your trailing AppleScript action for inclusion in the display alert statement?

Is there a way to set an alert for every event in a single calendar?

Hi all,
Is there a way to globally set an event in just one of the calendars showing in iCal?
For example, I have a "Birthday" Calendar with a bunch of birthday events. I want to set the alert for all of them to, say, noon, without having to edit each and every one.
Thanks!
Greg

To generally add an alarm to all events in a specific calendar you would need to program an Automator Workflow that passes all events of the calendar to an Applescript that adds the alarm.
For your birthdays problem is a predefined solution iCal: If you enter the Birthdays on the cards in your Address Book, and enable the "Show Birthdays Calendar Flag", then you will receive automatic email notifications of upcoming birthdays.

How to set up Alerts in XI

Hi All,
How can i set up alerts in XI?

Hi Rajeet,
Problem
The ExchangeProfile contains the wrong HTTP port and host name for WebAs.
The error also occurs if the host name is changed after the initial maintenance of the ExchangeProfile. For example, the error occurs if a new host name is determined on a system that is operated by a hosting partner and that can be contacted from the customer network. In this case, the exchange profile must be modified as described below.
Solution
Check the following property under "RuntimeWorkbench" in the ExchangeProfile:
com.sap.aii.rwb.server.centralmonitoring.httpport
and, if necessary, set it to the value that the ICM monitor displays as the HTTP port of the WebAs (Transaction SMICM -> Goto -> Services).
You also need to fully identify the host name in the property
com.sap.aii.rwb.server.centralmonitoring.r3.ashost
Regards.

Set item property to false and true

when i set item to false and then set item property to true. The item is displayed but its gray out and not enabled. Am i missing something
Set_Item_Property('PUSH_BUTTON_SAVE',VISIBLE,PROPERTY_FALSE);
and then
Set_Item_Property('PUSH_BUTTON_SAVE',VISIBLE,PROPERTY_TRUE);

Check the Forms online help on Set_Item_Property, near the bottom in the usage notes. Lots of things happen when you set visible to False:
Setting DISPLAYED to False:
sets the Enabled and Navigable item properties to False
sets the Updateable item property to False
sets the Update_Null item property to False
sets the Required item property to False
sets the Queryable item property to False
So you may need to set more of them back to true in your code when you want to make it re-display.

Problem with Setting Display Mode

Hello!
I'm working on a game right now and i want to run it in fullscreen mode.
Now this program sets up full screen mode just fine, however, it will not allow me to set the display mode.
I'm using the standard full screen and set display mode calls. It worked just fine before, and now all of the sudden the program will not allow me to set the display mode (this is crucial so that i can set the resolution and the game will run at the proper size on all computers -- yes it may be a bit skewed but it should still work).
Any ideas?
Thank you!

And now its working with the following code:
    private void setupFullScreen()
        //Sets up all the variables and such to go into Full Screen Mode
        //->Get Environment Vars
        GraphicsEnvironment graphicsEnvironment = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
        GraphicsDevice devices[] = graphicsEnvironment.getScreenDevices();
        graphicsDevice = devices[0];
        //Setup FSMode
        setTitle("Invasion");
        origDisplayMode = graphicsDevice.getDisplayMode();
        DisplayMode mode = new DisplayMode(screenWidth,screenHeight,32,DisplayMode.REFRESH_RATE_UNKNOWN);
        //TEMP
        JButton exit = new JButton("Exit");
        exit.addActionListener(new ExitListener());
        getContentPane().add(exit, BorderLayout.NORTH);
        getContentPane().add(new TempColorPanel(screenWidth, screenHeight, this), BorderLayout.CENTER);
        if(graphicsDevice.isFullScreenSupported())
            setUndecorated(true);
            setResizable(false);
            graphicsDevice.setFullScreenWindow(this);
            if(graphicsDevice.isDisplayChangeSupported()){
                graphicsDevice.setDisplayMode(mode);
            else{
                graphicsDevice.setDisplayMode(origDisplayMode);
                graphicsDevice.setFullScreenWindow(null);
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Your Computer Doesn't Support the Required Display Mode,\nGoing to Panelled Mode.");
                setupPanelledWindow();
            validate();
        }else{
            //Error - Doesnt Support FullScreen Mode
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Your Computer Doesn't Support this Graphics Mode,\nGoing to Panelled Mode.");
            setupPanelledWindow();
        }Just wondering why when i get rid of the Try{}Finally{} part and replace it with a simple if(){}else{} it works...
Anyone know why?
PS - I posted the code in case anyone else is also having this problem ;)

Have problem setting Email alerts for Calendar events. Warning message says I need to set up a card in Contacts with my email. I do but it doesn't recognize it. How do I indicate the email I want alerts sent to?

The system of setting up email alerts for Calendar events worked fine in Snow Leopard but since I upgraded to Mt. Lion Calendar won't let me set email alerts. When I try, I get an error message saying I need to set up a card in Contacts for my email. I have a card set up in Contacts for both of my email addresses but it doesn't recognize them. Perhaps the name I have on the card doesn't match a name that Calendar is looking for. Calendar doesn't seem to have a way in Preferences or elsewhere to indicate the email I want alerts sent to. Any ideas how I can get this system working again? Thanks for your help.

You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved, less people are likely to look at it. You can link to this one.
See if another contact is marked as this is my card.

How can we display Alerts based on Exceptions in BI7

Hi,
<b>How can we display Alerts based on Exceptions in BI7?</b> My requirement is a dashboard kind of scenario where the alerts will be displayed using WAD in Portal.
In 3.5, we used to schedule the alerts from the Reporting Agent and display that using the Alert Webitem in Web Application Designer. But I couldn't find the Reporting Agent and the Alert Webitem in BI7. I would like to know how we can do Exception Reporting in BI7. I appreciate your suggestions/comments. Thanks in advance.

Can you set an alert for birthdays in Addressbook and iCal?

When I migrated from Palm Calendar to iCal, my calendar had my birthdays in it repeating each year and with a 7 day alert so I could send a card or get a present in time.
I see you can list a birthday in Addressbook and set the iCal pref to show them which is at first glance very cool and green but when I open the birthday event in iCal I don't see any way to set an alert which is a big limitation.
If I can't set alerts, then the Addressbook/iCal birthday syncing is kind of pointless and limited, unless I'm missing how to set alerts.

Hi Steven,
This is one of the reasons why I wrote Dates to iCal.
As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries.
Best wishes

How do I turn off searching from the address bar. Setting keyword.enabled to false is not working.

I never want to search from the address bar. I've been able to turn off this horrible annoying feature in the past by setting "keyword.enabled" to false but this no longer seems to work. Is there any way to fix this so that searching from the address bar never happens with any search engine?

If you set keyword.enabled to false, then what Firefox normally does is check whether your address bar entry is a valid server name (first DNS lookup) and, if not, it will try fixup (e.g., www.+''what you typed''+.com) (second DNS lookup).
If you get search results, particularly if you get results from some site other than your preferred search engine, there are two possible explanations:
(1) DNS provider hijack.
There are some service providers that do not answer the DNS lookups honestly and instead will divert you to their own page of search results. In that situation, there sometimes is a link on the page to opt out, either right there, or behind an explanation (why do I get this page?) or a settings link. You may have to look around. Or if your service provider won't let you opt out, you might need to switch to using OpenDNS or Google Public DNS.
You probably should also check your connection setting it case that has been modified:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
Try "No proxy" here to see whether that helps.
(2) Bad add-on.
Some extensions will divert honest DNS misses to their preferred search site. Here's what I suggest for cleaning out bad add-ons:
(A) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Add/Remove Programs. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
(B) Then, in Firefox, open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
(C) Search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. Note that the tools are free and take considerable time to run. If they seem to finish quickly and then ask for payment, you might have a Fake AV infection. Please use the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
Success?
