Button activation from within track

Any suggestions on how to create an active invisible button within the entirety of a track? Working on a project here that uses a track ball for navigation and we want to allow the user the ability to exit the program at any point to return to the main menu.
Any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks,
Drew

Hi Drew
You can do this using buttons-over-video, the manual can give you a better description of how to do it than I can. The buton operates in the subtitle stream so if you want the button to be invisible it's easy. BTW, your viewer could always just hit the menu button on their remote and do the same thing.
Cheers

How can I execute an external program from within a button's event handler?

I am using Tomcat ApacheTomcat 6.0.16 with Netbeans 6.1 (with the latest JDK/J2EE)
I need to execute external programs from an event handler for a button on a JSF page (the program is compiled, and extremely fast compared both to plain java and especially stored procedures written in SQL).
I tried what I'd do in a standalone program (as shown in the appended code), but it didn't work. Instead I received text saying the program couldn't be found. This error message comes even if I try the Windows command "dir". I thought with 'dir' I'd at least get the contents of the current working directory. :-(
I can probably get by with cgi on Apache's httpd server (or, I understand tomcat supports cgi, but I have yet to get that to work either), but whatever I do I need to be able to do it from within the button's event handler. And if I resort to cgi, I must be able to maintain session jumping from one server to the other and back.
So, then, how can I do this?
Thanks

NB: The programs that I need to run do NOT take input from the user. Rather, my code in the web application processes user selections from selection controls, and a couple field controls, sanitizes the inoputs and places clean, safe data in a MySQL database, and then the external program I need to run gets safe data from the database, does some heavy duty number crunching, and puts the output data into the database. They are well insulated from mischeif.
NB: In the following array_function_test.pl was placed in the same folder as the web application's jsp pages, (and I'd tried WEB-INF - with the same result), and I DID see the file in the application's war file.
        try {
            java.lang.ProcessBuilder pn = new java.lang.ProcessBuilder("array_function_test.pl");
            //pn.directory(new java.io.File("K:\\work"));
            java.lang.Process pr = pn.start();
            java.io.BufferedInputStream bis = (java.io.BufferedInputStream)pr.getInputStream();
            String tmp = new String("");
            byte b[] = new byte[1000];
            int i = 0;
            while (i != -1) {
                bis.read(b);
                tmp += new String(b);
            getSelectionsDisplayTextArea().setText(getSelectionsDisplayTextArea().getText() + "\n\n" + tmp);
        } catch (java.io.IOException ex) {
            getSelectionsDisplayTextArea().setText(getSelectionsDisplayTextArea().getText() + "\n\n" + ex.getMessage());
        }

Hi Fonsi!
One way to execute an external program is to use the System Exec.vi. You find it in the functions pallet under Communication.

From within Photoshop Elements, when I try to open Editor, a box opens that states I must activate the software. I registered and activated the software last year. When I click to activate, I get a message that I am not connected to the internet. I am connected. How do I get Editor to work?

You would get the redemption code, or perhaps even the serial number, from whomever you purchased the software from, apparently Amazon, so talk to them. This wouldn’t be the first time they’ve sold something that didn’t have all the numbers needed to license it.
A redemption code is something that is usually on the inner disc packaging if you purchase the media in a box, and there is a barcode on the outside of the packaging that must be scanned at the checkout register to activate the hidden inner code so you can redeem it at home on that website. This is what happens if you buy PSE from a brick-and-mortar store like Best Buy. I don’t’ know what happens if you purchase the downloaded version as I have never done that.
A redemption code is 24-digits of letters and numbers that you enter into a website to get a serial number, once and only once. The serial number of only 24-digits, no letters, is what you enter into the software during the install or when you run it and it asks if you want to register or run in a trial mode—whatever the exact phrasing is.
In any case it sounds like you don’t have either a redemption code or serial number—although perhaps something is listed on the purchase confirmation or your account online at Amazon or even in an e-mail from Amazon.

Hi there
Have you tried clicking Help > Updates and applying the service release?
If not, I'd start with that.

Close window button missing from my active+inactive tabs

Hi. Does anyone else have the problem of the close tab button disappearing from the tabs, irrespective of whether they are the active or inactive tab?
I can only get the buttons back by pressing the big "+" and opening a new tab and presto, all the close tab buttons appear again.
Using firefox 8 on a windows 7 laptop. Not sure if it happens every load or just sometimes, but is frequent enough to be annoying.

Hello, and thank you for your reply.
I have narrowed down the problem further now- it seems that when I have an open mozilla window, and then open a link from another programme (have only tried thunderbird so far), the new tab may or may not have a close tab button on it (not right 3 out of 4 times)
Didn't seem to happen when I tried safe mode, but I only tried it 3 or 4 times.
It's not a big issue for me, but I guess bugs should be figured out.

The red colored "record ready" button has disappeared from my track header area. The other four buttons are showing fine, (input (i), hide (h), mute (m) and solo (s).

Ahrenshof: Thank you for your suggestion:
((preferences>audio>devices (re-select your input source) ))
I already had that done IE. I had duet already chosen as input and output etc etc.
The problem seemed to be the issue that was addressed by Eriksimon:
(( ctrl-click the track Header.))
Following that advice gave me a drop down menu which allowed the various buttons to be
checked and unchecked.
Thanks so much for taking the time out to
help with my problem. It seems to me that
this formum is far better equipped to handle
user's problems than any or the options that
are available on the acual Logic help menu.
It appears that Logic has been put
together by techies who, (though they
may be brilliant at computer software issues), then have
virtually no skill or imagination with regards explaining
how to use it, to the actual users.
I have a PhD in Egyptology. I mention this not
because I think it a particularly brilliant acheivement
but just to indicate that I am not a total dummy.
More to the point I find using Logic needlessly tiresome
and the explanations that are given in the "Help" menu
are nothing short of tragic. Perhaps Apple could start to give
out free ropes or razor blades to everyone who buys the program.
Not to say it is not much better that the other junk out there, it is,
the sorry fact is that that is not saying much at all.
I send sincere thanks to all the users out there who support
each other through this forum. johnnyloonybin

Automatic button activation

Hi
I know very little about Flash and must apologise in advance
for what may be a very stupid question.
I am using Dreamweaver to create a simple website and have
used one of the standard Flash buttons from within Dreamweaver
itself. After viewing it online and hovering over any of the link
buttons, "Click to activate and use this control" appears and you
have to click twice for navigation.
I think the buttons should change color just by and look
active just by moving over them.
Could anybody got a simple solution please?
Thanks
Jerry

Moving activities from one track to another

Hi,
I was wondering whether it's possible to move activities (not activated nor transported yet) from one track to another.
Here's our setup:
Project is divided into 2 phases:
Phase A is completed developed - Still waiting for the results of UAT.
Phase B is now under development.
Since we can still expect issues to pop up after the UAT of phase A, we don't want to mess up phase A source with ongoing phase B development. So, we are planning the copy NWDI track A to track B in order to start developing for phase B without touching track A. After successfull UAT of phase A we plan to merge track B files back again to track A.
Is this possible within NWDI?
Thank you,
Joren Crauwels

Batch Master Classification View - Inconsistent button active

Hi
We are encountering a problem of the Inconsistent button getting active in the Batch Master Classification tab (Material is batch controlled). We know the reason why this is getting active : Due to a wrong inbound value for a field called 'Sterilization Site' in the classification data (data element: ATWRT) through an interface from a legacy system.
We also know the solution to get around this: Go into the batch master in edit mode and delete the inconsistency by clicking on the Inconsistent button and then the delete button on the pop-up screen which gives the inconsistent value.
My requirement is: <b>How do we identify all the 'inconsistent' batches in the system?</b> Is there a way to identify a batch having an inconsistent characteristic value? (inconsistent value => value not existing in the allowed list of values for the particular characteristic)
When I try to do a F1 on the 'inconsistent' button, I get a help screen giving "Program: SAPLCHRG; Function: VCON".
Thanks
Chandra

Steve,
You have given me the right solution, but in this one particular case that I am tracking, I think there is an aberration.
I've got an output of all batches by using the option 'Show Incomplete Status' in CL2A. But this particular batch has the 'Inconsistent' button active, yet the classification status is showing as 'Released'
Any idea how to deal with such batches and extract this information?
Regards
Chandra

Email from within iPhoto '08 (7.1.1) quit working

I am running Leopard (10.5.1) and iPhoto '08 (7.1.1) on a 2.4ghz 17" MBP. Whenever I try to email a photo from within iPhoto it pops up a window to let me choose size & options, I hit the Compose button, it will then popup a window saying that it is Preparing photos for email... then that window just goes away and it never creates the new email. I see this same behavior regardless of whether or not Mail is already open and regardless of what photo I am trying to email. This was working fine in the past... believe that it quit working after the upgrade to 10.5.1 (but not absolutely positive of that)... Any troubleshooting ideas would be greatly appreciated as I use this feature quite often.
Cheers!
Kirk

Kirk:
Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Next, if needed, download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Cannot send an email from within contacts on iPhone

I’m trying to send email from within my contacts list app on my iPhone but the send button will not highlight and therefore cannot be pressed to send the email. Sending email from the mall app works fine. Anyone know why this is happening?

That also occurs for me and looks like a bug. The problem seems to be that, although the "To" address appears in the draft email, the iPhone does not think that it is there and won't activate the Send button. If one simply touches the "To" field the address disappears.

Make sure you are connected to NWDI server.
Also create a new activity for a different component in the same track.
