Capturing typed keyboard events from another app

Hi everyone, thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give me.
I have written and inventory app and an point of sale app. I need some way to capture what is keyboarded into the inventory app so that I can fire some events in the pos app.
How can you capture typed keypresses if your app doesn't have direct focus? Can I request focus without impeding what is being typed into the other app??
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated ...
Ken.

You won't be able to request the focus and continue letting the user type in the inventory app.
My idea to solve your problen: accces to the event queue inventory aplication and make a copy of the events that suceed in it, letting the inventory aplication consume normally it's event and fowarding the copy to the other aplication.

Hi All,
We have implemented auto session logout(if user is ideal for 15 mins one message popup will come and after 5mins user gets logged off) in our portal and it is working fine. when user navigate to other page the timer is getting reset but if user working in same page for 15 mins popup message comes and if is not clicking 'ok'user gets logged off .
For navigation i am using EPCM.subscribeEvent("urn:com.sapportals:navigation", "Navigate", pop);
My requirement is to reset the time when he is typing(keyboard event) any info in from.
Please provide your inputs.
Thanks,

Dear Santosh
Regarding events between WD and Portal you need to consider the interface
IF_WD_PORTAL_INTEGRATION
Please check this to see how it is done

Call event from another event

I have a button where i need to call one event from another... does anyone have any ideas on what the syntax would be?
public class PushButton extends Button
public PushButton()
* Mouse Pressed Event
this.addEventHandler(MouseEvent.MOUSE_PRESSED,
new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(MouseEvent e) {
System.out.println("MousePressed");
* Mouse Released Event
this.addEventHandler(MouseEvent.MOUSE_RELEASED,
new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
@Override
public void handle(MouseEvent e) {
System.out.println("MouseReleased");
          *// Make a call to the mouse pressed event????*
}

Hi,
As per your requirement, i hope the below code should work. :)
public class PushButton extends Button
     public PushButton()
           * Mouse Pressed Event
          final EventHandler<MouseEvent> mousePressedEvent = new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
               @Override
               public void handle(MouseEvent e) {
                    System.out.println("MousePressed");
          this.addEventHandler(MouseEvent.MOUSE_PRESSED, mousePressedEvent);
           * Mouse Released Event
          this.addEventHandler(MouseEvent.MOUSE_RELEASED,
                    new EventHandler<MouseEvent>() {
               @Override
               public void handle(MouseEvent e) {
                    System.out.println("MouseReleased");
                    // Make a call to the mouse pressed event
                    mousePressedEvent.handle(e);
}Happy Coding !! :)

Ipod music command from another app

Hi Please can someone tell me the command to start the ipod function from another app. thanks

Yes... because no such functionality exists.
If the media was purchased via iTunes, select File > Transfer purchases.
If the media was not purchased via iTunes, then copy it from the original computer or the backup of that computer.
iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.

No color toolbar icons from standard launch, ok when launched from another app.

When launched from another app like google earth the toolbar icons are in color.
When launched normally the icons have no colors.
Currently Thunderbird 24.6.0

another experiment.
When you have the colour icons, Select Help menu > about (what version is this) when you have the black do the same and see if it is different versions. (pressing F10 will make them menu bar visible if it is not.)
Thunderbirds icons changes from living colour to black and white quite a few versions ago.
Reasons for color are;
* An old version
* An add-on by way of a Theme
* The running of Thunderbird in XP compatibility mode in Windows

File URL doesn't pass from another app

I can enter the file URL "file:///sdcard/video.mp4" and the video plays just fine. When online it also brings up "www.file.com" in the window, which would be best that it didn't.
When I pass the same URL from another app, the URL bar shows "http://www.file.com///sdcard/video.mp4", when online. When offline, it shows "http://file///sdcard/video.mp4". Consequently the video doesn't play.
I have tried the same with 9 other browsers and the substituted URL is different, so I assume that it is the browser doing the substitution rather than the app.
I want to play the video from the app through FireFox whether offline or online using the same URL that works directly.
Thank you,
Bob

Capturing all keyboard events.

I'm using the keyboard to control a mobile robot through a Java applet.
I also have lots of other buttons in the applet. I don't want to add KeyListeners to all of the buttons. So is there a way to directly capture all keyboard events? So that no matter which button has the focus, the keyboard events would be processed?
Thanks a lot!

I don't want to add KeyListeners to all of the buttons.You could use a single KeyListener and add it to each button.
So is there a way to directly capture all keyboard
events? So that no matter which button has the focus,
the keyboard events would be processed?I don't know if this works or not, but check out Toolkit.addAWTEventListener().

PDF from another app

How do I open a PDF doc from another app when that app does not use the 'open in' option? Have to do it from iTunes?

Hi,
If you have the PDF stored with another app and you want to open the PDF in Adobe Reader, you can choose the Open In option from that app and then select Adobe Reader in the list. However, if that app does not provide the Open In option, there is no directly mechanism to transfer the file to Adobe Reader. You can transfer documents to Adobe Reader via iTunes by connection your device to your computer and in the Apps tab, under File Sharing, copy the documents that need to be synced and then click on Apply.
Hope this helps.

Capture a keyboard event on af:panelGridLayout?

Hi,
<af:panelGridLayout> currently supports a client listener with mouse events.
But I have a requirement where I need to capture keyboard events.
I tried adding an invisible inputText component on the page and focus on it onclick of the panel.
My assumption was that when the inputText is on focus, it should be able to capture keyboard events even though its invisible.
This does not work. Please see code below. The "showAlert" javascript method never gets called.
<af:inputText clientComponent="true" visible="false" value="dummy" id="keyLink">
     <af:clientListener method="showAlert" type="keyUp"/>
</af:inputText>
<af:panelGridLayout id="pgl3">
    <af:clientListener method="toggleRowSelection" type="click"/>
</af:panelGridLayout>Javascript code:
function showAlert(event) {
    alert("javascript event " + event.getKeyCode());
function toggleRowSelection(event) {
    var source = event.getSource();
    var keyLink = source.findComponent("::keyLink");
    keyLink.focus();
    callServerMethod(event);
};How do I achieve this?

I have figured out how to add menu Item to an existing EXE program, but I have not yet been able to figure out how to capture there events.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It's not entirely clear what you are trying to acieve. I think you're trying to add menu items to an exsisting exe without recompiling it, from LabVIEW. If so the following applies.
You have to hook the winproc. When a menu item is selected, windows send a message to the window's winproc. There are some API's that can be used to point the address of the winproc to another routine. This routine can do filtering, and then call the original routine.
Note that LabVIEW doesn't (or didn't until LV7) use windows menu's, so when a LabVIEW (or exe created with LabVIEW) menu item is called, windows will not send anything. That is the price for platform independency.
I think the OpenG site (or perhaps Winutils from NI) has some vi's to hook windows messages that are send to LabVIEW. Perhaps you can also use them hook another application.

Send a keyboard event from labview to C#

Hi,
We currently have a program in c# that takes keyboard inputs from a user and will fly a quadrotor. We aim to have a LabView .vi generate keyboard commands based on our experiment and send the commands to the c# code creating a feedback loop where the .vi will keep track of sensor and experimental data.
Our problem is that we have tried many different methods to send the keyboard commands in LabView.
1) http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3711
2) http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Send-keyboard-commands-to-another-windows-program/td-p/330670/page/2
as well as other variations and similar .vi's that do the same thing. Here is an example of a .vi used to press the letter "t" once.
http://i.imgur.com/hwmjZ.png
All of them can write the string to a text (open notepad put cursor in blank window) file but none can do it in such a way that it is detected by the c# code. On my own I can open and run the c# code and press keyboard buttons myself and the commands are recognized, so I think it could be an issue with how LabView sends the keyboard events and how c# reads them. Here is the c# code segment that we are using to read the input commands:
public override List<String> GetPressedButtons()
KeyboardState state = device.GetCurrentKeyboardState();
  List<String> buttonsPressed = new List<String>();
  foreach (Key key in Enum.GetValues(typeof(Key)))
      if (state[key])
          if (!buttonsPressed.Contains(key.ToString()))
              buttonsPressed.Add(key.ToString());
  return buttonsPressed;
Can anyone help trying to figure out why using the keybd_event function in LabView can not interface correctly with the above detection code in c#? I can provide any code and clarification if you think it can be helpful.
Thanks,
Andy

Hi,
I can't say with certainty where the problem is or even how many there are. I do know that the KeyboardListener.cs class should work according to what I have read online. I also know that if I press the keyboard myself then the state is changed and the correct action is taken. If I try to issue an event from Labview then the event is not captured. Here is the code, it is rather large ~20 MB.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vsvcje1ro364otu/ARDrone.zip
https://www.dropbox.com/s/p3h3tj8bcqc29gk/Forward_backward0924.vi
The key listener is in ARDroneInput>Utils>KeyboardListener.cs and the polling takes place in ARDroneInput>KeyboardInput.cs
The reason I wanted to use keyboard inputs is because the quadrotor we are using takes keyboard commands W,A,S,D,T and L. Initially I thought having Labview issue these commands would be the simplest method. That may not be the case.
I was just thinking that it is not necessary that key events are sent from Labview. Instead, one could send an array representing the frequency of each button press rather than the button press directly. In that case an array that is updated continuously from Labview will just have to be kept track of in the C# code. The C# can then convert that to whatever control input we want. Can it be easier to send a vector of numbers in real time to C#?
If you think it is better to establish a connection between Labview and C# using .NET to send keyboard commands (rather than the vector idea above) can you explain that a little more? How does one go about doing that? If you think the vector idea is simpler how should the interface be set-up?
I just talked with my collegue and we think that maintaing a .txt file in Labview and having C# read it is the best option. We will begin working on that and will update you tomorrow.
Thanks,
Andy

How can i get APP_ID from another app?

Hi gusy,
I need some help here
I have 5 applications and now I need to create a new one, and in this new applications i need to have links to these 5 already existing apps.
The problem is that i need to make the links parameterized, not hard coded.
So my question is: How can I get the ID of some application from another application?
And I need to get this ID without starting the first application ( the application whose ID i wonna get)
Is there some kind of sys table where are kept the application names and their IDs?
Thanks in advance
Tsveti

Hi Tsveti,
then it's more complicated, because the APEX repository views are not available in this release.
I would see two options you have:
1) grant access to table FLOWS_020000.wwv_flows to your application schema. This table contains the APEX applications or
2) create an application level item for each of your 5 application ids. eg: TRACKER_APP_ID, SUPPORT_APP_ID, .. and use a computation to fill it with the hardcoded app id. In your code reference them with :TRACKER_APP_ID or &TRACKER_APP_ID.
This has the advantage, that they are just hardcoded in one place and easy to maintain.

Import events from another iPhoto library?

I recently went on vacation, and took my laptop with. During the trip I downloaded the photos from our camera's SD cards, but did not delete the photos, so we had a backup on the laptop and on the cameras. The events came in with no issues to the laptop. They're nicely organized and I have properly lablled them so we know what is form where...
When I got home I took the SD cards and downloaded the photos to my Desktop Mac, but it was a different story. It downloaded the photos from the SD cards, but duplicated numerous events and made it very hard to orgaize.
For example one event is labelled "July 32, 2012' and another "July 23-24, 2012". The latter consists of all the photos from the earlier event plus two photos taken on the 24th.
I have confirmed that iPhoto did indeed duplicate the downloads, by searching for and finding the original JPG files with the find command in Terminal:
find ./ -name DSCN1219* -print
.//Pictures/iPhoto Library/Masters/2012/07/28/20120728-141002/DSCN1219.JPG
.//Pictures/iPhoto Library/Masters/2012/07/28/20120728-164601/DSCN1219.JPG
This is the same photo.
What I'd like to do is just delete all the events from my Desktop and simply import the much better organized events from my laptop. Both are running the same version of iPhoto.

If you want to move Events, plus all associated metadata and versions then you'll need to use
iPhoto Library Manager for the job.
If you have the most recent versions of iPhoto and Aperture you can also do this via Aperture.
