Button action with no result
I like to have a button with the following InDesign (CS6) function: Paste in Place.
But whatever I try, it did not work.
app.menuActions.item("$ID/Paste in Place").invoke();
or
app.scriptMenuActions.itemByID(273).invoke();
The Configurator panel I have made is this one (http://www.hansg.nl/screenshot_24.png) and all the buttons works, except the 'Paste in Place' one.
So, I need some help!
OS X 10.8.5
InDesign CS6 8.0.2
Configurator 4.0.0
I insert both scripts in two different ways: as a link to the javascipt and as text in the script file option.
And also as an option showed in the left colomn under Menu's" > "Main" > "Edit" > "Paste in Place"
Thanks for the info.
Interesting, that they work fine in Preview and on set-top player. I do not have/know WinDVD, so I'm not sure of what problems it might have. I happen to use other software DVD players, and so far, they all work like my set-tops and Preview.
I'm assuming that when the left-mouse button is over your Button and pushed, nothing happens. Does the Button Highlight? Your described PS work should not have altered the Button's ability to function. If they work elsewhere, they *should* work in a software player. I assume that ALL Buttons exhibit this behavior?
Maybe someone can help with WinDVD. Might be something very simple, that's just beyond my knowledge.
Other than to say your Project looks good in detail, I can't really help - sorry.

Button action with desk DVD player and PC player
HI!
I built and burn a DVD with one menu with several buttons triggering different chapters. Before the menu I have a small introduction clip.
This works perfectly on my desk DVD player, but on any computer I get the introduction clip, then the menu, but the buttons don't have any action. Did I forget something.
Thank youThanks for the info.

InDesign Button Action for PDF – Open File (in new window)
I am using the 'Open File' action on buttons in a document i am making which will eventually be a PDF, but am wanting to specify the button action to open the file (another PDF) in a new window.
I have found that I can achieve this and add button actions with this specific behavior in Acrobat, but it seems to be missing in indesign's abilities as far as I can see. Is there a way to do this in indesign so that i do not have to tinker in acrobat after I have made my PDF. As if I have changes to the PDF, all buttons then have to be totally re-done each time, and i will have possibly 900 buttons!!
Thanks.
(Using indesign CS4)Jeff,
You are correct. I want to have a DVD with multiple PDFs. The main one almost acting as a table of contents for the rest.
Problem = the 'main one' is 62 pages long, many hundred buttons and every page has at least a few of these links needed.
Which means, if you are correct (and I believe you are, hope you aren't) that I need to custom code these buttons in Acrobat.
The method is easy, but x300 = painful. And then the kicker... Boss says, 'Change slide 30' ... which means: Back to InDesign, Export to PDF, Recode ALL BUTTONS.
*Note, there are some 'interactive' buttons with roll over states. So I don't think replacing the pages would work. -
Help needed with Button action performed
Hi,
I am new to AWT prgramming .
I have created a menu called " Menu System Test window " and it contains toplevel menu items of "File" and "Help" and File Menu contains subitems "Product Evaluation" and "Exit".
When i click File->Product Evaluation it displays a new Frame named "ProductEvaluationMeasurementTool" with some check boxes ,radiobuttons, buttons and text fields. So when i select some checkboxes in that new frame and click the button labeled "Metricslevel" it displays some resultin textField1 , similarly when i click Button labeled "Measurementlevel" it displays some result in textField2.
My question is i have another button in Frame Called "Reset". When i click the Reset button all the check boxes which have been checked previously should be unchecked and moreover the result in both the textfield should be cleared.
I am sending my code. Kindly help me.
Thanks in advance.

Problem setting a hidden item value when button clicked with dynamic action or pl/sql process
Apex 4.1
Oracle 11g
I have a page that consists of a main region and several sub regions. I have a pl/sql process in After Header SET_DISPLAY(:P400_DISPLAY :='MAIN';)
Three subregions have a contional display where P400_DISPLAY = STORE. This works in hiding the sub regions.
Now I want to change the P400_DISPLAY value to STORE to show the subregions when I hit a button.
I tried creating a dynamic action for on click of the add button but get the following error:
The selected button uses a 'Button Template' that does not contain the #BUTTON_ID# substitution string

I then tried creating a page process, pl/sql, :P400_DISPLAY :='STORE'; when the appropriate button is pressed. The button action is submit page. However, it does not change the P400_DISPLAY value and the subregions stay hidden.
Suggestions please on how to fix the template or change the P400_DISPLAY value?The root issue is that, although you change the value of your page item, it isn't visible to other areas of the page until it is in the session. So, any other action based on the value of your page item; the visibility of a control, a report based on the item's value, etc. will all be unaffected by changing the value of the page item until it has been changed in the session. Even after this the items are stored in the session, you must thereafter do something to cause the value to be reevaluated. To see the effect of this, observe that your page loads and evaluates the value of your page item, it sees that is "MAIN" and hides the regions. However, it doesn't reevaluate them after this.
So; your choices to get this value set in the session are to either Submit the page, or use JavaScript to set the value in the session. If you use the latter of these, you'll have to do some further work to cause the visibility tests to be re-run, So, let's stick with with the submit method.
What you've done above sounds correct for this but, there are a lot of decisions you could have made that might have caused things not to happen in the correct sequence.
Firstly, let's confirm that what I describe above is your problem. From the development environment, load the page, click the button to change the value and submit. Now, click the link labelled Session. Is it still set to MAIN? If so; this is your issue.
Let's start with the your After Header computation. Did you set it to *only* run if the current value of your page item is NULL??? If not, that's your problem.
Load Page -> Item set to 'Main' by Computation -> Click Button -> Item set to STORE -> Submit -> Load Page -> Item set to 'Main' by Computation
See the problem?
Assuming this isn't the issue, you created a Branch to the same page, right? What is your process point for the Branch? Is it *After* Validation, Computation etc? Because if not, you aren't changing the value before the submit happens.
I bet it is the first issue but, take a look at these.

....Need to brush up my tablet design in DPS (did it a few years back), can anyone recommend on the Adobe site tutorials that I can download, with artworks /buttons / actions and put it together?

Can we perform two actions with one button with two clicks one after other?
Sir,
can we perform two actions with one button with two clicks one after other?
I want that when I click an Add Button first time it add data to the database and when I click again this button it clear the form data to empty fields.
Regards
TanvirIn code it should be easy.
The following code adds a button called butman with a text "ADD".
It then registers a listener that will be called if the button is clicked.
This listener then calls the runAddData method if you clicked on butman while it contained the "ADD" text and it will call the runClearData method otherwise.
Therefore it will swap the button's functionality between ADD and CLEAR on every click.
final Button butman = new Button("ADD");
butman.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(ActionEvent t) {
if (butman.getText().equals("ADD")) {
butman.setText("CLEAR");
runAddData();
} else {
butman.setText("ADD");
runClearData();
} // END IF-THEN
}});I hope this is what you wanted.
Some extra food for thought.
You might want to run the ADD and CLEAR methods in their own threads so that it can run in the back ground, without slowing down your user interface.
I also like to rather reuse one button for multiple functionality in stead of making an application with hundreds of nodes only used rarely with masses of code to show and hide them if needed. -

Buttons call to action with Google
Hello
My landing page for mobile works great buttons call to action with the Safari browser.
But with Google Chrome and Google mobile search, do not work, have to leave your finger for several seconds, you see a menu with buttons to open, copy and cancel. But do not call!

I just installed Lightroom 5. It will not open. I have clicked on the desktop icon as well as the start menu button with no results. What am I missing?
I had the same problem, and I believe it is caused by having the Creative Cloud application doing the updating of LR. I "fixed" the problem by:
1. Uninstall Lightroom
2. Download the stand-alone LR 5.6 installer from Product updates
3. Install LR 5.6 using the stand-alone installer, instead of using the Creative Cloud application. -
Command link / button action is not taking place if i use it in iterator.
Hi,
I am new to ADF, i am facing 1 issue while implementing ADF mobile browser application.
Issue: command link / button action is not taking place if i use it in iterator. its just refreshing the page it self and displaying as no records.
Scenario is i am populating the search results in results page from search page using iterator, i want to get the complete details in different page (results page -> details page) .
I have tried in different ways.like
case1:
<tr:panelGroupLayout id="pgl2" layout="vertical" styleClass="af_m_panelBase">
<tr:panelHeader text="#{classviewBundle.SEARCH_RESULTS}" id="ph1"/>
<tr:iterator id="i1" value="#{bindings.SubjectVO1.collectionModel}" var="subject"
varStatus="subIndx" rows="100">
<tr:panelBox text="#{subject.Subject} #{subject.CatalogNbr} - #{subject.CourseTitleLong}"
styleClass="af_m_listingPrimaryDetails" id="pb1">
<f:facet name="toolbar"/>
<tr:table var="ssrClass" rowBandingInterval="1" id="t1" value="#{subject.children}"
varStatus="clsIndx" rowSelection="none"
binding="#{SessionBean.subjectTable}" verticalGridVisible="true"
emptyText="No Records" width="100%">
<tr:column id="c9" sortable="false" styleClass="width:100%">
<*tr:commandLink text="Section: #{ssrClass.ClassSection}-#{ssrClass.SsrComponentLovDescr} (#{ssrClass.ClassNbr})"*
id="commandLink2" styleClass="af_m_listingLink"
*action="#{pageFlowScope.BackingBean.searchaction}"></tr:commandLink>*
//remaining code
in this case commandlink action is not able to invoke serachaction() method
case 2:
<tr:commandLink text="Section: #{ssrClass.ClassSection}-#{ssrClass.SsrComponentLovDescr} (#{ssrClass.ClassNbr})"
id="commandLink2" styleClass="af_m_listingLink"
action="classdetails}"></tr:commandLink>
in this case its not able to navigate to classdetails page.
I gave correct navigation cases and rules in taskflow,but its working fine when the command link is out of iterator only.
i tried with actionlistener too.. but no use.. please help me out of this problem .
*Update to issue:*
The actual issue is when i use command link/button in an table/iterator whose parent tag is another iterator then the action is not taking place.
the structer of my code is
< iterator1>
#command link action1
< iterator2>
#command link action2
</ iterator2>
< /iterator1>
#command link action1 is working but "#command link action2" is not...
Thanks

Edited by: shyam on Dec 26, 2011 5:40 PMHi,
To solve my problem I used a af:foreach instead.
<af:forEach items="#{viewScope.DataBySubjectServiceBean.toArray}" var="text">
<af:commandLink text="#{text.IndTextEn}" action="indicator-selected" id="cl1">
<af:setActionListener from="#{text.IndCode}" to="#{pageFlowScope.IndicatorCodeParam}" />
</af:commandLink>
</af:forEach>
By the way you need to convert the iterator to an Array using a ManagedBean.
public Object[] toArray() {
CollectionModel cm = (CollectionModel) getEL("#{bindings.TView1.collectionModel}");
indicators = new Object[cm.getRowCount()];
for(int i=0;i<cm.getRowCount();i++){
indicators[i] = cm.getRowData(i);
return indicators;
public static Object getEL(String expr) {
FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
return fc.getApplication().evaluateExpressionGet(fc,expr,Object.class);
Hope that helps-

Quiz slides - editing button actions
All,
I have a Captivate 3 project with various quiz slides
throughout that act as section reviews. I was able to have the
submit button send users back to a ToC slide; however, I want the
same to happen when they click "Next" on the quiz slides (if they
just want to skip the review). Is there any way to edit individual
button actions on quiz slides?
AndyFYI - Captivate REALLY hates jumping around where scored
quizzes are concerned... it seems to expect each project to contain
a single scored quiz and it expects the user to complete that quiz
linearly. The "Allow backwards movement" option in the Quiz
preferences may allow things to work as expected, but I doubt the
user will be able to "retake" a section once it's been completed.
Captivate doesn't seem to like that, either.
If you continue to have problems jumping back to your TOC,
try breaking everything into individual projects and have your
links open the appropriate project to create your lesson flows.
Captivate has no problem randomly jumping between projects,
and doing so will also allow users to retake a section if desired.
PS - Since you've created your own TOC, I'm guessing you're
not reporting user results to an Learning Management System of some
sort. The "link between projects" approach is typically not an
option in an LMS environment since the LMS usually needs to launch
all files itself in order to create the necessary results reporting
interface. -
Value set in constructor is not getting saved in button Action method
Hi All,
I am not understanding why the value set ( On Condition )in constructor is not hold in the button actoin method.
Could any body explain me on that
for this I will try to explain with sample example
I have taken a button and add a integer property in session bean.
now if session bean's property is even then I am trying to set the button value to bidNow other wise Accept Invitation.
Till this opstion everything is OK
but once I click on Button,
Constructor is doing the right job only. But I do not understand why in button action I am getting the First Value only.
public Page1() {
// <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="Creator-managed Component Initialization">
try {
if (getSessionBean1().getIntValue()%2==0)
button1.setValue("BidNow");
else
button1.setValue("Accept Invitation");
getSessionBean1().setIntValue(getSessionBean1().getIntValue()+1);
log("In Constructor Button Value : "+button1.getValue());
} catch (Exception e) {
log("Page1 Initialization Failure", e);
throw e instanceof javax.faces.FacesException ? (FacesException) e: new FacesException(e);
// </editor-fold>
// Additional user provided initialization code
public String button1_action() {
// TODO Replace with your code
log("In Action Button Value : "+button1.getValue());
return null;
}and here is the log

Can u explain the reason for thisHi Sudhakar,
Please try the following and you will get an idea as to what is happening:
1. Drag and drop a button, 2 outputText components
2. Add a property to the session bean called intValue of type int. Customize it to set it's initial value to 0
3. Add the following lines of code to the constructor
outputText1.setValue("" + getSessionBean1().getIntValue());
getSessionBean1().setIntValue(getSessionBean1().getIntValue()+1);
4. Double click on the button component to go to the button action method.
5. Add the following line of code
outputText2.setValue("" + etSessionBean1().getIntValue());
6. Save and run the application
7. Watch the values of outputText1 and outputText2 with each click of the button
Also, try the application with the following code block in the button action method:
if(getSessionBean1().getIntValue()%2==0){
button1.setValue("Bid Now");
} else{
button1.setValue("Accept Invitation");
getSessionBean1().setIntValue(getSessionBean1().getIntValue()+1);
outputText1.setValue(button1.getValue());
outputText2.setValue("" + getSessionBean1().getIntValue());
When the above code block is in the button action method the values set to button are as expected.
Hope that helps
Cheers

Automator action with dropdown to make folders with predetermined names
Is there an action/workflow that will allow me to create Folders using a dropdown menu of predetermined names for those folders?
I haven't seen one, and since no one has posted about one yet, I'll throw this out.
I modified a couple of handlers I have laying around into a Run AppleScript action that will make folders from a list of names. The list can be set in a Get Specified Text action, with the "menu" being a Choose from List action:
Tested workflow:
1) Get Specified Text (your folder names, separated by returns) for example:
Testing
Another test
My Spiffy New Folder
2) Filter Paragraphs (Return paragraphs that are not empty)
3) Choose from List (Prompt: Please choose folder names:)
4) Run AppleScript:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into an Automator 'Run AppleScript' action">
on run {input, parameters}
make folders with names from a list
input: a list of names (text items)
output: a list of Finder items (aliases) created
set output to {}
set DestinationFolder to missing value -- set the destination path here if desired
try -- verify that the path is valid
set DestinationFolder to DestinationFolder as alias
on error
set DestinationFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the location to make the selected folders:")
end try
repeat with AnItem in the input
GetUniqueName for AnItem from DestinationFolder -- avoid duplicates
try
tell application "Finder" to make new folder at DestinationFolder with properties {name:the result}
set the end of the output to the result as alias
end try
end repeat
return output
end run
to GetUniqueName for SomeName from SomeFolder
check if SomeName exists in SomeFolder, creating a new unique name if needed
parameters - SomeName [text]: a name.extension to check for
SomeFolder [mixed]: a folder to check
returns [text]: a unique name
set {Counter, Divider} to {"00", "_"}
set Here to -(offset of "." in ((reverse of text items of SomeName) as text)) - 1
set TheName to text 1 thru Here of SomeName
if Here is -1 then -- no extension
set TheExtension to ""
else
set TheExtension to text (Here + 1) thru -1 of SomeName
end if
set NewName to TheName & TheExtension
tell application "System Events" to tell (get name of items of folder (SomeFolder as text))
repeat while it contains NewName
set Counter to text 2 thru -1 of ((100 + Counter + 1) as text) -- leading zero
set NewName to TheName & Divider & Counter & TheExtension
end repeat
end tell
return NewName
end GetUniqueName</pre>
- the output from the Run AppleScript action is a list of aliases to the folders created, if you want that information to do something with.
