Choose app from dialog box

I've written a script that uses the GUI to update existing version of software. At one point a dialog box opens and asks to choose the software file I'm wanting to update. Sometimes it will select the file, sometimes it won't.
tell process "UpdateInstaller"
--Accepts the license agreement
perform action "AXPress" of button 4 of window 1
--Chooses InCopy application
delay 7
perform action "AXPress" of button 1 of window 1
delay 9
select "Applications:Adobe InCopy CS2:Adobe InCopy CS2.app"
delay 10
perform action "AXPress" of button 1 of window 1
end tell
The line in bold is the line in question and it's very sporadic. Sometimes it will be selected, sometimes it won't. What can I do to guarantee that it will be selected every single time?
I am aware there is no startup disk noted, that is because we are pushing this out to many many computers at once, so there will be different startup disk names that will have to be considered.
Thanks,
k

I am not familiar with your application, so I can't help with specifics, but you could say:
set thePath to (path to applications folder as text) & "Adobe InCopy CS2:Adobe InCopy CS2.app"
select thePath
to rule out problems with the application not being found.

I have version 3.6.16 and when I login to my hotmail account, and type the first letter of the email address, a drop down box appears with my hotmail address and I can choose it from that box with a click. How do I get version 4 to do this? Thanks.

The new but not-ready-for-prime-time autocomplete method searches for matches that contain the entered text, not just ones that begin with the string. Your options are:
1) type in longer strings that narrow the search
2) use an add-on to search just the beginnings:

Displaying selection screen as pop-up from dialog box

Hi,
      I have a screen which is of dialog-box type. This dialog screen shows an ALV and has a button in the ALV toolbar. On pressing this button, a pop-up screen is to be displayed. This pop-up screen is designed as a selection-screen. Is it possible to display this selection screen as a pop-up from a dialog box screen?
Regards,
Suhas

Opening files from dialog box

This may be a stupid question, but it's another thing I've done in the PC world for years, and never needed to do on my personal Mac, but now would like to do now that I have an iMac at work.
So, here's the situation. When I was using InDesign on my PC to say "place" a photo, I could always do a right click the file, and do an "open with" to open the file in Photoshop, save my changes, then continue on with my "place" of the photo. This doesn't seem possible (and I haven't found an option in preferences). I'm not talking about the right click. Of course I am able to right click. But right clicking in this instance does nothing. I can drag the file down to the dock to open it with Photoshop, which is "OK" but takes slightly more time, and I also have to go back a level in either Finder or the dialog box, or I am not allowed to save in Photoshop because of "unexpected end-of-file" due to the thumbnail apparently.
If there's a way to change this, let me know. If not, I'm sure I'll get used to it, but right now I'm finding it a little less efficient than my old method. Also, this is just one circumstance, it's not ONLY a InDesign thing, or a "place" thing. I just find sometimes it's easier and faster to do two things at once in a dialog box, rather than doing each thing separately.

Pretty much. Normally it's more of a File--> Place and then I want to Open with-->Photoshop. But there are also times when I want to File-->Open in Adobe and might want to also Open a different file in the same folder with another program (such as Word). Because normally when I'm working in a program, I'm using multiple files within a folder for whatever document I'm working on. Therefore it's quicker to do both at the same time, rather than doing them separately.
The main (but not only) time I want to do this is in InDesign. We are a newspaper, and I do a lot of ads, and photo editing. Say I want to "place" a photo into an ad, or into our news layout. Well, a plain JPG straight from the camera is not optimized for newsprint. So I normally need to make it either CMYK or Grayscale, and change Levels, Crop, etc. and save as a TIFF in Photoshop before putting it in an ad or into the paper.
I know that technically the way to do this would be to either use Finder and open the file in Photoshop, and save changes, then place into the InDesign document. HOWEVER, time here is of the essence. We are 4 people doing a newspaper, and I'm the only one who does ads, and makes most photo edits. Over the course of the many many photos/artwork/etc that I place into InDesign every day, the added time of opening before placing adds up. It saves time to Place-->Open with "Photoshop", make changes, save and then select the file for placement in InDesign with the box that I already have open.
Perhaps this doesn't make sense, or perhaps I only think it saves me time...but I'm pretty sure it does save me time, as a step is cut out of the process. Or perhaps there is a better way to do this in OSX, and I'm just used to doing my newspaper work on Windows 7, and therefore not thinking correctly.
Keep in mind I sold my boss on finally getting me a Mac because I told him I'd likely be more productive. So I'm just hoping not to lose a "shortcut."

OS 3.1 Bug: Can't paste password into App Store dialog box

I searched for this and didn't see anything...
Since updating my iPhone to OS 3.1, I can no longer paste into the "iTunes Password" dialog box of the App Store app.
If I restart my iPhone, I can paste in the password, but only until putting the iPhone to sleep.
There's a thread about this same issue on the 1Password forum, but like I said, I can't find anything about it here or elsewhere on Apple.com:
http://support.agilewebsolutions.com/showthread.php?t=19538
Can anyone else confirm this?
Thanks,

I can't get C&P to work in iTunes or the App Store no matter what I do. My password is way too long and complicated to type in so let the updates pile up. When they reach about 50 or so, I'll go through the aggravation. Then when my contract with AT&T is up, I'll toss this phone. I have had enough of Apple's ****. It's always something. They have too much control over their buggy OS's both on the iPhone and the MacBook. People are under the impression that the OSX is way better than Windows. NOT A PRAYER IN ****.
They don't even have the choices of which OS you might have, updated on the drop down menu below.

Visual Class: Set a label in main window from dialog box

Hi,
Firstly my project is a visual project and at the time being has only 2 classes, both visual. One a main window and then one a dialog.
The project is about a gym membership, and what i want it to do at the moment is to set the name text box i have in the main window by typying it in another text box in my dialog. Understand?
This is my text field method in MainWindow...
public JTextField getNameTextField() {
          if (NameTextField == null) {
               NameTextField = new JTextField();
               NameTextField.setBounds(new Rectangle(164, 28, 193, 26));
          return NameTextField;
     }And my New Member text field in the dialog, called NameDialog
private JTextField getNewMemberTextField() {
          if (NewMemberTextField == null) {
               NewMemberTextField = new JTextField();
               NewMemberTextField.setBounds(new Rectangle(36, 56, 209, 28));
          return NewMemberTextField;
     }In the dialog i have created a button called,"OK" and if i press it without entering a String then an error box appears which all works correctly. Then as you can see if i enter a String here i want this String to be entered and showed in my MainWindow class in the name text box.
But this is not working and i am having trouble here after the else...
else {
GymMembershipMainWindow mainWindow = new GymMembershipMainWindow();                                 mainWindow.getNameTextField().setText(getNewMemberTextField().getText());
NameDialog.this.setVisible(false);Sorry but do you understand what i am trying to do? Apologies if any of it is unclear.
Would appreciate any help. Thank you.

Ok well there is quite a bit, but only 2 classes. This is the first class which is the main class.

               CancelButton = new JButton();
               CancelButton.setBounds(new Rectangle(181, 119, 79, 27));
               CancelButton.setText("Cancel");
               CancelButton.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {

                         NameDialog.this.setVisible(false);
          return CancelButton;
The problem i am having is in the OK method in the dialog class. At the 'else' i want the text that is inputted into the text field in the name dialog here, to appear into the text field in the main window for the name.
Understand me? Sorry. Thanks

Moving Portal app from local box to QA Environment

I am developing a Portal application on my local laptop, using an Oracle database
as the Portal database. When I move to my QA environment and then to Prod, how
do I move the information from regarding the desktops, entitlements etc?
Thanks
Kartik.

Hi, Kartik:
There is a Propagation Utility available on BEA's dev2dev site that you can
use for this purpose. There is a WLP 4.0/7.0 version (which must run as a standalone
WLS 7.0 application), and both a GA and SP2 version for WLP 8.1 (which are enterprise
apps you deploy on the source and destination WLP servers). Links are:
4.0/7.0: http://dev2dev.bea.com/codelibrary/code/portalprop.jsp
8.1 GA: http://dev2dev.bea.com/codelibrary/code/portalprop81ga.jsp
8.1 SP2: http://dev2dev.bea.com/codelibrary/code/portalprop81sp2.jsp
(note that there was no 8.1 SP1 release of WLP).

Constant "Download for free?..." dialog box

I'm getting a constant:
"Download for free?
This item will be added to your Purchases, and will be available even if your Family Sharing status changes"
dialog box while updating apps in iTunes. As soon as I dismiss the dialog by clicking "Download" an identical box comes up with the same question. I'm updating about 47 apps right now, and I've clicked the affirmative answer about 150 times. Super annoying.
Anyone else getting this? Is there a way to turn it off?

I am having the same problem as well. I am running the latest version of iTunes for Windows and am getting this box repetitively while I update my apps in my library. The worst part is that it doesn't seem to matter whether I click Download or Cancel or the red X; the box keeps coming back. And because it's modal, I cannot do ANYTHING else with iTunes until this box goes away. I cannot switch areas (apps, movies, TV shows) or even go to the iTunes store. The only way I can kill this thing is with Task Manager. It's completely ridiculous. I have clicked Download WAY more times than I have apps, TV shows, and movies combined.
When I start clicking Download, it just sits there and does nothing but present me with another dialog box. If I keep clicking rapidly, it will eventually display "Accessing iTunes store." and I get the striped thermometer, but then it just goes back to the dialog again and does nothing else apparently. I cannot figure out what the heck it is doing. So not pleased.
For what it's worth, I just looked at my watch (no, not an Apple watch); I've been clicking on this stupid Download button for over 40 minutes now, pretty much non-stop. It is not possible that this is linked to anything in my account. I also note that if I click Cancel at least 9 times, I can eventually get the box to go away. However if I then go to Update All Apps, the dialog box from he11 returns and does not allow me to update ANY of my apps and just keeps presenting the dialog box.

Why does choosing "convert to PDF" from a Word Doc's context menu bring up two Save As dialog boxes?

I have a user that every time she chooses "Convert to PDF" from the context menu on a MS Word document she gets a Save As box, enters the name and location, clicks Save. Then Word starts and it brings up another Save As box and makes her enter the name and save location AGAIN. It does then create the PDF, but it is very annoying to her as she makes lots of PDFs for our board of directors (she is our CEO). I have tried it on other PCs that have a similar setup, but none have done this. They all just run the converter window after one dialog box. Please HELP

Does your user have custom add-ons besides the Acrobat PDFMaker add-on? If so, try disabling the other add-ons as a test to see if you get the same results.
Does your user have a custom template? Try moving it out and using the standard MS Word template as test?
Did your user have a previous installation of Adobe Acrobat?? If so, check the Add-ons to see if an older version is still registered with MS Word.

How to make a dialog box for a user to choose a file from disk

Hi there
Is it possible to make a dialog box, for a photoshop user, to choose a txt file, to be process by my javascript ?
I have a txt file with all the names and locations of psd files i want to process by photoshop. I have ex. 100 out of a folder with 250 images.
If anyone have a shot "code sample" how to select a file - i will be happy.
/T

Here is an example of selecting a text file...
var dlg=
"dialog{text:'Script Interface',bounds:[100,100,500,220],"+
"testFile:EditText{bounds:[10,40,310,60] , text:'' ,properties:{multiline:false,noecho:false,readonly:false}},"+
"Browse:Button{bounds:[320,40,390,61] , text:'<<' },"+
"statictext0:StaticText{bounds:[10,10,240,27] , text:'Please select Text File' ,properties:{scrolling:undefined,multiline:undefined}},"+
"Process:Button{bounds:[10,80,190,101] , text:'Process' },"+
"button2:Button{bounds:[210,80,390,101] , text:'Cancel' }};"
var win = new Window(dlg,'test');
win.center();
win.testFile.enabled=false;
win.Browse.onClick = function() {
selectedFile = File.openDialog("Please select TEXT file.","TEXT File:*.txt");
if(selectedFile != null) win.testFile.text = decodeURI(selectedFile.fsName);
win.Process.onClick = function() {
if(win.testFile.text == '') {
alert("No text file has been selected!");
return;
win.close(1);
selectedFile.execute();
win.show();

Help: printing skips dialog box option when printing from the finder

Anyone else running into the issue where you select a file from the finder, choose Command + P and instead of getting the print dialog box you get the file printed to the default printer? It is really annoying when you want to select print options or change printers. Is there a preference setting to force the print dialog box to open when choosing print from the finder. Currently I have to open the file in an app like Preview and then choose Command + P to get this to happen.
Any insights appreciated!

Is this recent that you are not seeing the print dialog when printing from Finder?
There isn't a preferences setting to force the dialog that I know of, but you can do a drag and drop to a printer while holding the option key - that'll give you access to the print dialog.

When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified

When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified because it is already in use ??? What am I doing wrong?

settings -> iTunes & App Store
click on apple ID listed there
select Sign Out
sign in with the proper account
from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID

Why is the 'Choose icon...' button in the Options tab of the field property dialog box not enabled?

I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional XI running on Windows 8.
This “feature” has been bugging me for some time now. I remember it happening when I used Acrobat 9 Professional (Windows XP) and it is still happening in Acrobat XI Professional. I think I figured out a situation when I can reproduce this “feature” conistently and I hope someone fixes this.
Try the following and see what happens:
1. Acrobat Professional is not open.
2. Launch Word and start editing a document (or some other authoring tool that can generete PDF document).
3. After editing the document, generate a PDF version of the document.
4. Launch Acrobat Professional and edit the PDF document generated in 3.
5. Add a button.
6. View the button's properties.
7. Change the Fill Color property in the Appearance tab to none.
8. Change the Layout in the Options tab to Icon only.
Now here is what bugs be. Shouldn’t the 'Choose Icon ...' button be enabled? It is not enabled after step 8. It is possible that 'Choose Icon ...' button is enabled for some of you. I this case, it would be nice if at least one of you who experience the same bug say so in this thread so that Adobe doesn't think I am sending them on a wild goose chase.
I can enable it by selecting a different tab and then returning to the Options tab. A similar thing happens when reverting back from 'Icon only' to 'Label only' but I am not sure how to reconstruct a scenario for this one.
Here is the dialog box for one instance when I noticed the bug.
Regards,
John

You're right, it has been that way for a long time. I've never bothered reporting it as a bug since it's simple enough to deal with, but reporting it would be a reasonable thing to do.

How to displays the standard open file dialog box in Oracle Apps Server

Hi,
I am having a form, where i am opening a file and putting that file content in a text box.
This is my code written in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger:
declare
in_file Text_IO.File_Type;
linebuf VARCHAR2(8000);
filename VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
filename:=GET_FILE_NAME('d:\Rajesh\Practice', File_Filter=>'Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|',select_file=>false);
in_file := Text_IO.Fopen(filename, 'r');
LOOP
Text_IO.Get_Line(in_file, linebuf);
:text_item5:=substr(:text_item5||linebuf||chr(10),1,5000);
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN no_data_found THEN
Text_IO.Put_Line('Closing the file...');
Text_IO.Fclose(in_file);
END;
I have posted this in ORacle Apps Server.Where i was not able to get the Open Dialoq Box.It is giving an error as
"FRM-40735:WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-302000.".
I think the GET_FILE_NAME function is not supported in the Apps Server.
Is there any alternative solution for getting the OPEN DIALOG WINDOW in Oracle Apps Server?
Pls let me know.

Are you sure? I think, that File Dialog, called by LabVIEW File Dialog from Advanced File Functions Palette doesn't blocking any cycles in subVI, which running in UI Thread. Look in my old example (that was prepared for other topic, but may be good for this topic too).
2 linus:
I think, you must a little bit reorganize you application for to do this. You must put your File Dialog into separated cycle. This cycle, of course, will be blocked when File Dialog appear on the screen. But other cy
cle, which responsible for visualization will run continuosly at the same time...

How to properly remove "Network" from Windows Explorer and Save Dialog boxes?

I've recently rolled out Windows 7 and noticed that in some applications (Office 2003 - yes we are due for an upgrade - happening later this year), when a user clicks the down arrow in a "Save As" dialog box to view the available locations - a
list of seemingly every computer in the broadcast domain is generated and displayed. This takes about 30-45 seconds. I don't want my users to be able to view a list of every computer in their broadcast domain, and I especially don't want them to
be presented with said list every time they try to save something. In newer apps, the list is not automatically displayed but is still accessible by clicking the "Network" selection.
What is the proper way to remove this?
I've tried the following:
1) Disabling the NetBios over TCPIP service - works but prevents other things from working properly.
2) Disabling the Computer Browser service - does not work.
3) Changing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C}\ShellFolder\Attributes from b0040064 to b0940064 as suggested here -http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/39699-network-add-remove-navigation-pane.html
. This seems to work but I cannot find anything that says this is supported by Microsoft and I am wary of what side effects may occur.
4) Using a GPO to enable the "No Computers Near Me in Network locations" and "No Entire Network in Network locations." - no change.
It seems like there should a simple way to do this as I can't be the only admin that doesn't want their users browsing a list of every computer on the network.
Thanks!
