Application switching/windows and titlebar problem

Hi,
Apologies if this isn't the best place to post this, but it's a problem that relates to switching between applications in OS X, and I haven't yet found an answer through Director forums.
So... I am working on a (cross-platform) Director project that has to link to and open Word DOCs. I have a problem in OS X whereby when a DOC is opened, the Mac does not seem to be switching properly into Word. What happens is: click thumbnail (running handler to open DOC, using Buddy API xtra); Word starts to open the DOC; DOC window appears in front of projector Window, but the Mac titlebar seems to 'stick' in the projector. I can edit the DOC, use keyboard commands to save etc., but no menus are visible due to the 'ProjectorName.osx' title bar. I can switch to Word with Apple-tab, but not by clicking in the Word window(s).
A few extra notes:
• The projector resizes the screen to 800x600, but even with this feature disabled the problem persists.
• There appears to be a very strong link between creating a Full Screen projector and whether the problem manifests itself or not. All projectors created with Full Screen checked now have the problem (along with a few non-Full Screen). Unfortunately I need to lose any title/menu bar, therefore need to use Full Screen projectors.
• The problem has just arisen; essentially identical projectors (ie. differences are only in graphics) have run OK.
• We have used a couple of different xtras to open the files, for reasons unconnected with this issue. However we have been using BuddyAPI for a while, so I am reasonably sure that the problem is not related to this.
• Ensuring that unnecessary apps are closed, to ensure plenty of free memory, makes no difference.

That service is not important for a SAP system.
Chintan,
it is not supported to make changes to a domain structure after you installed the system (see the given note). That's why your SAP system is not coming up, all filesystem-, registry and user permissions are invalid.
The only way to resurrect your system is to reinstall it.
Configure first the operating system (as standalone or in a domain) - and then install the SAP system, not vice versa.

Centering Applications, spawning windows and other GUI stuff

Hi, possibly a silly question, but leave me alone I'm new :o)
How do I get my application to center on the screen ? At the moment it opens upin the top left hand corner of the screen.
Also whilst I'm on the topic my app with goes from screen to screen, that is when you click a button it makes turns that window "off" and opens the new destination window with setVisible(true/false), however when ever I move to the new window it always opens in the default location, is there a way in whivh the opened window appears in the location of the old one, for example, invoke the app, move the window around the screen, clikc a refresh button which will close and then re-open the same window and for the new scren to be in the new location, at the moment it will re-open in the top left hand corner of the screen as per usual

Hi,
You could just create a class that does it for you. See the code below for an example class that centers itself on any screen.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class MyFrame extends JFrame
public MyFrame()
    this( null );
public MyFrame( String title )
    super( title );
public void setVisible( boolean flag )
    if( flag )
      // Show should center on screen
      this.show();
    else
      // Hide should just call parent to perform function.
      super.setVisible( flag );
public void show()
    // Center this window to the main window.
    Dimension screenDim = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
    Dimension thisDim = this.getSize();
    Point thisLoc = new Point();
    thisLoc.x = (screenDim.width / 2) - (thisDim.width / 2);
    thisLoc.y = (screenDim.height / 2) - (thisDim.height / 2);
    this.setLocation( thisLoc );
    // Display window now.
    super.show();
}Enjoy,

Microsoft Rights Management Sharing Application for Windows and the connection with AD RMS

Hi,
I have installed AD RMS and now installed on end users Microsoft Rights Management Sharing Application for Windows.
When I choose protect a document in any end user machine, does it connect with AD RMS server to get a certificate and encrypt the content, or does not use at all AD RMS services? What about when choosing to protect with an AD RMS template distributed
to end users?
Thanks

Hi Ardi -
The first time a user creates or consumes protected content, they must contact the RMS server to "bootstrap". In this process, the user obtains certificates to identity them within the context of RMS.
Once a user has bootstrapped, he or she can create protected protected content without access to the RMS server.
To open protected content, a user must connect to the AD RMS server to obtain a "use license".
Does that help?

Dbx Process I/O Window and CURSES problems

Does anybody know how to make CURSES based application to work properly when using Studio 11 dbx �Process I/O� Output Window?
Some characters are scrambled on output and the worst part is that input �arrows� from keyboard and some other keys will not return from �wgetch(win) curses function call. �keypad()� is set to TRUE.
The application works fine running under xterm with TERM=vt100 settings
It was also running fine under Forte IDE debugger.
Thanks

Ivan,
This is promised CURSES code. It is very quick and simple but it will demonstrate issues I was describing. There is also another issue � which you will notice very soon. If you try to rerun the process the screen will not reset. You can get very odd behavior.
Regarding the terminal I would probably prefer to have it outside the IDE.
Thanks

Sharing folders in 10.8.3 to windows and macs PROBLEMS

I'm tryng to share folders from an 10.8.3 imac to users in my LAN (using bot mac and windows) I'm having this problem:
1) Mac users can access the share using afp:// but
when they create new folders the permission are: drwxr-xr-x so no other can write those folders
2) PC users can access the share using smb:// but
when they create new folders the permission are: drwx------ so no other can read/write/execute
all user belong to the same group and the shared folders are owned by that group
I have create a file /etc/launchd.conf with umask 002 reboot but nothing has changed
I THOUGHT THAT MAKING SHARES IN MAC SHOULD BE EASY BUT IT SEEMS SOO HARD :-)

Switch contentpane AND focus problem

Hi,
I would like to switch contentpane when user click on a JButton. I do something like this :
void clientButton_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
GestionClient gc = new GestionClient(this);
gc.pack();
this.setContentPane(gc.contentPane);
this.getContentPane().setSize(this.getSize());
this.validate();
where GestionClient is another JFrame containing the new contentpane.
Well it works but I would like to know if it is the right way to do this ?
But in my contentPane, I can't get a JTextField to be the focused item ! I've tried jTextField1.requestFocus() and jTextField1.grabFocus() but it doesn't work, the focusOwner still is the menu's button clicked.
Any idea ?
Thanx
-NicO-

Well it works but I would like to know if it is the
right way to do this ?I dont really like it.
Why not:
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.add(...); // create/add the components
setContentPane(panel);
panel.validate();Seems cleaner.
But in my contentPane, I can't get a JTextField to be
the focused item ! I've tried
jTextField1.requestFocus() and jTextField1.grabFocus()
but it doesn't work, the focusOwner still is the
menu's button clicked.This can have many causes :-( The most probable are:
1. The texfield is not yet visible when you request focus to it (invisible components ignore focus requests).
2. There are pending swing events that change the focus.
I usually do the request focus using SwingUtilities.invokeLater().
This helps ensure the event queue is cleaner.

IR Error: OUT of Memory. Close other applications or windows and try again.

Hi,
We recently moved from an 9.3.3 to 11.1.2.3. and working on IR reports. While running few reports we get this error and the client system has GB or ram and the server is allocated 4 GB or ram for IR reports.
I see the file it is trying to retrieve is about 800 Mega something like that ..... Not able to decide where to check next ...
Any thought will be appreciated.
Thank you.

There are many different conditions in which this error may appear:
(1) Upon opening a legacy non-Unicode BQY file in a Unicode compatible version of Interactive Reporting.
(2) When processing a query multiple times against a BLOB.
(3) When querying against Red Brick version 6.3 with ODBC/ODBC setting and there is processing to convert string column to integer type (before IR 9.3.0).
(4) When processing with DB2 9.1 against a bigint data type.
(5) Repeated opening, processing, closing, and re-opening of BQY documents with 'not equal' joins and high volumes
Sometimes this is due to excessive data which brings the size of the BQY file up around one gigabyte uncompressed in size (for processing may take twice as actual RAM, plus the memory space space for the plugin, and the typical memory limit on a 32-bit system is 2 gigabytes).
There have been a number of unpublished bugs which can result in the same error.
Solution
To avoid excessive BQY size exceeding memory availability:
(a) Ensure that your computer has at least 2Gb of free RAM before he runs IR Studio.
(b) Put a limit to the number of rows that can be pulled down: Right click on Request label of Query section and put a value in Return First xxx Rows (and check the check box).
(c) Do not pull down more than 750 MB of data (remember it may be duplicated while processing).
(d) Place limits or aggregations in Query section (as opposed to Result section) to limit data entering the BQY

Starting and stopping applications via a Java-application on Windows/Unix

Hello,
I want to start java and other applications via a java application.
This java application should start several different applications on windows and
on unix systems and take care of their current state (e.g. running/not running).
For all applications to be started there are .sh-scripts for unix and .bat-scripts
for windows. In the scripts there could be a java call, e.g. "java someApplication",
or some executables could be called. These scripts set the applications' environment etc.
and start the application finally.
My java application calls these scripts via the ProcessBuilder API, which is working fine.
But there is the following problem: on windows, when executing a script that starts
some other application, the ProcessBuilder gives me process-handle to the started
process. If calling destroy() on this handle, only the cmd.exe gets killed which
started the application. The application itself is running on. This is undesired behaviour
since I want to be able to control the started applications, at least start and stop it which
is impossible that way.
On unix, it is working when using
"exec java someApplication"
instead of just
"java someApplication"
in the .sh-scripts. The exec command substitutes the shell process with the underlying
process started in the script, so everything is working as expected on unix.
But how could I get this working on windows systems? Is there any equivalent to the exec
command on unix? Any suggestions appreciated.
If something's unclear in my description, please let me know.

Yes - after looking at this option - I think that's the direction I am going to go. It probably makes sense to give my JMS topics and my BPEL server their own OC4J instances anyway - for a number of reasons.

Problems with Application Switching

Alright, first off...sorry for being a noob. I'm trying to do the Command-Tab application switch thing but the problem I'm having is, as I continue to hold down the command key, it switches from application to application by itself. I'm reading that it should only switch to the next one when I tap the tab key, but this is not the case. In fact, it switches so quickly that it's kind of like a game, trying to stop on the program I want. A rather annoying game mind you What the heck am I doing wrong?!?!

You may want to uninstall, then reinstall Logitech Control Center. The latest download for Mac can be found here. The download includes LCC Uninstaller for removing any existing version of LCC.
As FYI, I've stayed "back level" on LCC: I'm running 2.0, but the latest version is 2.1.3. I'm seriously considering switching from LCC to Steermouse for the reasons that follow.
Unfortunately, after version 2.0 Logitech started including the free developer version of Unsanity's APE (Application Enhancer) framework, known as APE Lite, in LCC. They've done this to implement certain functions in their new Revolution-series mice. I neither use nor recommend any Unsanity code. While some people love their interface hacks, I recommend avoiding them: they've often proved problematic, especially after Mac OS X Updates.
APE underlies virtually all Unsanity interface hacks. APE Lite is embedded in many third-party apps, such as some third-party menu bar extras, and even some commercial code, e.g. LCC. In such cases, you'll find APE or APE LIte has been installed without your knowledge. To check this, examine the process list in Activity Monitor for the aped process (APE daemon). If aped is running, then either APE or APE Lite has been installed on your Mac.
Besides the often problematic nature of Unsanity's interface hacks, a potential security exposure was recently identified with APE: see "MOAB-08-01-2007: Application Enhancer (APE) Local Privilege Escalation."
In the interest of being "fair and balanced," Unsanity discusses the MOAB report of the APE vulnerability in the Comments section of this post on their blog. The topic was sidetracked from Macworld to the MOAB report in the comments.
Unsanity's position is that Apple has the Group permissions set incorrectly on the /Library/Frameworks directory, specifically that Group permissions should be Read Only instead of the default setting of Read & Write.
The chmod command noted in the Unsanity blog post, i.e.
chmod g-w /Library/Frameworks
removes write (w) permissions for Group (g) on the /Library/Frameworks directory.
Secunia Advisory SA23649 rates this vulernability "Not Critical." I disagree with that assessment, especially given the exploit that the MOAB folks posted.
I'm not changing the permissions on my /Library/Directory until Apple makes that official. However, Unsanity may have a point w.r.t. other utilities being able to leverage the same privilege issue.
IMO, the whole APE approach to "patching running code" has significant risks, both from the standpoints of reliability and security. One could easily see how a user could be duped into downloading a root kit or other Trojan that could reset the permissions on /Library/Directory (or anything else) and then implement the APE vulnerability MOAB noted.
So, if you use and like Unsanity hacks, I'd try uninstalling then reinstalling LCC. Otherwise, I'd uninstall LCC and consider purchasing a license for SteerMouse, as doesn't use APE, APE Lite, or other such code. Another option is to license USB Overdrive, which also appears to be free of APE / APE Lite.
Unsanity also provides uninstall instructions for APE here. Another set of uninstall instructions for APE can be found here. However, APE LIte is required for the latest versions of LCC an any other third-party app that depends on APE / APE Lite functions.
Good luck!

Automator switching windows problem

I think by reading through the forum i found that my loop is not continuously going through because of the switching windows. But for every single one of my actions it says (Bring the window “World of Warcraft” to the front.) I've read that usually it says this when you first click an application to show that you switched windows and you simply delete the first step to do it but for me all of my actions say that so im not sure how to switch into the application without it saying this.
Message was edited by: Lil Tom

Activating an application shouldn't interrupt the Automator workflow. What actions are in your workflow, and is the input getting set correctly? It looks like you may be using the *Watch Me Do* action, just be aware that scripting window items and mouse clicks are going to be tricky at best.

Windows 7 firewall problem

Hi,
I'm trying to develop a test application for P2P communication via Cirrus and came up to following problem with my Windows 7 firewall:
How is my app designed to work: The application generates key (initConnection) on one side, then I manually copy the key to the other machine and connect again. Init send stream and receive stream on both of them should make the communication available. Whole code is attached below, it's just some sample code I downloaded somewhere for testing purposes.
#edit: you can check working copy of the application here: http://peskovi.cz/p2ptest/P2Pplugin.html
My setup: I've got two computers in my local network (connected through cable to same switch), Windows and Linux. However it seems I'm having the same trouble connecting to distant computers as swell.
My problem: It seems that Windows 7 is partially blocking my connection. The thing is, when I init the connection on Windows and then copy the generated code to Linux and connects there, connection's not working at all. However, when I do it the other way (init on Linux and copy generated code to Windows), everything works just fine. Also, when I turn off firewall on my Windows it works fine both ways too. I have several reasons to believe there might be something wrong with my app:
1) The sample app on Adobe Labs (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cirrus/samples/) works just fine both ways.
2) RTMFP should be bidirectional protocol right? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me, why would I be able to connect to existing connection, but I wouldn't be able to start a new connection? That should pretty much use the same resources (ports), shouldn't it?
3) If this is just a common thing with Windows 7, it would mean Cirrus is pretty much unusable for me, but I haven't seen any posts about this anywhere, which is suspicious.
I'm new to AS/Cirrus/flash so there might be something really noobie I'm missing, so I'd be very glad if there would be someone wiling to help me with any hints why is it not working, what should I do, or just explain to me that I have to deal with the fact that it simply cannot be done and (mainly) why.
Thank you very much,
Jan

Hmm, not sure I completely understand now. What exactly simultaneously should mean in this context? The thing is that it seems there's no chance in getting the connection to work when I first turn on the client on my Windows computer. The other way (starting on my Linux computer) it works just fine, and I am able to connect from my Windows to my Linux anytime.
Also I'm not sure that this is the problem, cause it seems that same problem apply to connection to other computers as well (however this impression is based on a testing with just a very few tries, so I'll try to test it more soon).
Thanks for the explaining anyway!

Keep getting the 'system has run out of application memory' window, what to do?

I'm running a mid 2010 MacBook with 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and OS X 10.9.5. Every time I'm on Safari I get the 'System has run out of application memory' window and it asks you to quit out of programs you're not using. The problem is sometimes the only things running are Safari and Finder. It'll then freeze up programs and prevent web pages from loading or showing up. I'm not quite sure what this means or how to go about fixing it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Meghan,
If you are seeing that alert that you are running out of application memory then I would take a look at using Activity Monitor to see how the memory is being used. If it looks normal usage to you, then you may want to upgrade the memory on your Mac. Take a look at the article below for more information.

CR Developer 2008 extremely slow to open... and other problems

Hi all,
I'm having problems with Crystal Reports 2008
When I click on the icon, the CR window opens straight away, but it takes a full 8 minutes before the Start Page loads. During this time, I can't click on anything (theres just an hour glass).
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling (twice) and I'm still having the problem.
Also, once it eventually loads, I can't get to the Page Setup options. It just comes up with an "Out of Memory" error. I've tried removing all the printers as suggested elsewhere on these forums and reinstalled (as mentioned before) but the problem remains..
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kyle.

Disabling the 'Check for Updates' option has solved the issue of CR taking a long time to load but the Page Setup 'Out of Memory' error remains.
I'm not sure I 100% understand what you're suggesting Graham.
I have 6 printers installed, all work fine with other software. I have tried removing and reinstalling them but the problem remains.
I've even removed all the printers, reinstalled CR with no printers installed (so it just has 'Fax Printer' and 'Microsoft Office Document Image Writer' in the Printers and Faxes window) and the problem still occurs.
Any other suggestions?
