Click on submenu item to open windows form

I am currently trying to develop an extension tool for Visual Studio 2013 in C#, and i have created the top level menu.
My question is upon clicking on the "Create Rules", how can i open up Form1.cs which i have added in my package? Is anyone able to point me to the right direction as i am totally new to this and is stucked.
Any help will be very much appreciated and thank you in advance

After you get the form showing if you run into the issue of making it modal and center parent like I did you can you code like this:
#region Show Modal Window
internal void ShowModalWindow(System.Windows.Window win)
IntPtr hwnd;
this._uiShell.GetDialogOwnerHwnd(out hwnd);
win.WindowStartupLocation = System.Windows.WindowStartupLocation.CenterOwner;
this._uiShell.EnableModeless(0);
try
WindowHelper.ShowModal(win, hwnd);
finally
//this will take place after the window is closed
this._uiShell.EnableModeless(1);
#endregion
This method is part of a larger class that already has _uiShell, it was set by using this code within the package Initialize method:
IVsUIShell uiShell = (IVsUIShell)GetService(typeof(SVsUIShell));
But the basic use is create your wpf form than pass it to this method, it will be shown as modal and center parent.

How to Clear all the data of open windows form of another exe?

Hi,
I want to make utility which will clear all the data from one windows application.
i know the application name. The application of which data i want to clear is made in C# and contains many windows forms and controls.
out of that opened windows form and controls inside it need to be cleared.
Please guide on how to do this in C#?

Short version: Find the window and send it a message with
SendMessage.
Open up Spy++ and find your form's window. You will see that the window has children and they have classes of the form "WindowsForms10.EDIT.*" Those are TextBox controls. You can call things like SetWindowText to set the
text of the window to clear it.
To do this programmatically, you'll have to obtain the window hand that corresponds to the control. You can find windows with
FindWindowEx or
EnumWindows. Locate the window by name or class or whatever else you can determine about it. Find the child windows and "clear" them however you wish. I assume you mean to set empty strings to all the TextEdit controls. If you
intend to do something more sophisticated than that, then you'll have to be more specific about what you mean by "Clear all the data".
It may or may not be obvious that you'll be poking around with Win32 API calls via PInvoke to accomplish much of this. Example:
SetWindowText via PInvoke.

I created a pdf form and then imported it to Forms Central for distribute. It is now loaded to my website and setup so a person clicks on the link to open the form. At this point they then have to go to upper right to open form using a different view. I would like the form to open directly in Adobe Reader form to make it easier to enter information. Thanks, Ike

If you created it in Forms Central, you have to edit it there. I believe Forms Central is similar to LiveCycle Designer in that the form created is no longer able to be edited in Acrobat. I might be wrong, but that is my understanding. You add the submit button in Forms Central. Within Acrobat, you should be able to go to the forms menu and Manage Data to save the data to an Excel file. Others better with forms should be by to clarify things, but this should get you started. In the future you might find it better to post a forms question in the forms discussions.

I have Thunderbird 24.5.0. When I double click the desktop item to open it up, it opens immediately, but when I'm in the main page with all the folders on the left & the corresponding email details on the right of that same page, it seems to have problems. Before, when I would highlight a certain box / folder (whether it would b “inbox”, “sent” folder, “trash” folder, or whatever, it takes a good 5 min (minimum) to open that certain folder so I can see the emails of that folder.
Can u help me determine what is causing this? Just 3 days ago, it was fine.
Thank you

Spry Menu Bar - Freezing the Menu item in hover when clicking a submenu item

Hi,
I am trying to add a feature to a verticle spry menu bar that freezes the menu item or "parent" (to apear to be hovered) when clicking one of the parents sub-menu items. I want to do this so that users can know how they arrived at the page they're on.
Thanks for your help,
-Shiva

To look at your intention in a different way,
Hover over a submenu item
Parent item is colored/indicated
Submenu item is colored/indicated
Click on the submenu item
New page opens
Parent item "remains" colored/indicated on the new page
There are three or four ways to do this, depending on your site setup, but one basic concept to understand. The emphasis on the Parent menu item is totally independent of whether you got to the new page via the menu or by some other means. The emphasis will always be there, though it will appear to be connected to your clicking on the menu!
Say you have a menu with two Parent menu items, flowers and trees.
On the Flowers menu are submenus: Tulips, Roses, and Gardenias, On all three different Flowers pages (Tulips, Roses, Gardenias), the Flowers parent item will be emphasized.
On the Trees menu are submenus: Oak, Maple, Spruce. On all three different Trees pages (Oak, Maple, Spruce), the Trees parent item will be emphasized.
If you want to go in to each page individually, you can use a general indicator like id="localemphasis". (To emphasize more than one thing on a page, use a class instead of an id)
Using this method, on the Tulips, Roses, and Gardenias pages, put id="localemphasis" on the Flowers parent menu item.
On the Oak, Maple, and Spruce pages, put id="localemphasis" on the Trees parent menu item.
To control the emphasis from the CSS stylesheet, you won't need to go into each page, but you will ID each parent menu item.
Give each 'category' (Flowers, Trees) page a body ID to match the category
Every Flower page wants the Flower parent menu item emphasized, give all three Flower pages a body tag like this: <body id="flowers">
LIkewise, every Tree page wants the Tree parent menu item emphasized, as <body id="trees">
Within the menu itself and on ALL pages, give each parent menu item an id to correspond to its category
<li id="flowers_m">Flowers</li>
<li id="trees_m">Trees</li>
 I have added a "_m" to remind myself that it is the menu item's id. You might need to put the id on the <a> link if you have not used a list for your menu.
In your CSS stylesheet,
 #flowers #flowers_m,
 #trees #trees_m {background-color: red; color: white;}
Please use your own code! White on red might not be your cup of tea...use the same styling as the "hover" styling you mention in your query.
To interpret what we have just done, we have said
 make the background-color red and the text white
for the parent menu item Flowers (id="flowers_m") when you are on a Flowers page (body id="flowers")
and for the parent item Trees (id="trees_m") when you are on a Trees page (body id="trees").
This emphasis is good feedback for your user...remember that for SEO purposes, you will also want to use actual HTML text to reinforce the page environment, that is, h1 titles like FLOWERS and TREES. That will provide more feedback for your user.

Firefox 3.6 when I open a SWF file, a wrong mouse click, it show a recursive open window until the PC resource is used up or the system hang up, I try to reinstall firefox but not solved.

Windows XP SP3, flash player 10.2, Shockwave 11.5.9.240 , when I open a SWF file with firefox 3.6.15, it shows some options to choose action and I made a wrong click. The firefox nightmare is a "open recursive windows" until the system hang. When I use Internet Explorer 8 to open it, it is fine, Try to uninstall firefox and reinstall it, but in vain, how can I restore it?

You don't have the Shockwave Flash Player installed for Firefox. You may have the ActiveX version installed for IE, but Firefox needs the Plugin version. And Shockwave 11.5.9.240 that is installed for Firefox isn't the same thing.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
''Or maybe get the previous '''r102''' version from here. IMO, there's problems with the latest version of Flash.'' 
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).

BUTTON CLICK ON SEARCH ITEM CAUSES OTHER REGIONS (FORM) IN TABLE TO ERRORS

Hello,
I dont know if I have come to a limitation or flaw of the XE or is it me who does not know how to. (probably me)
The thing is that I have in one page, one standard form for entering data and one report output table to show them. This output table has incorporated that built-in feature of Search
Now, what happens, if I click on the search button to locate a record in the Report table, as the full page reloads, then the Form region also loads but as it has no data, in the effect of being reloaded activates its button of submit, bringing my report table to all errors as it is getting null values which are not allowed. I really need the search feature because otherwise users can have the more and more unconfortable time to locate things as the table grows to thousands of rows.
any help would be greatly appreciated
kindest regards
Alvaro

Hi,
My first option probably do not even work. I did mean put expression "GO" as I understand go button submit request GO.
And now when I think it is validations that gives those errors. Right ?
So you need set that condition "PL/SQL function body returning a Boolean" to after submit validations
RETURN :REQUEST IN('SAVE','CREATE');Sorry, about confusion
Automatic Row Processing (DML) process that actually insert/update/delete is anyway run only when certain submit requests
>
Valid Update Request Values: SAVE, APPLY CHANGES, UPDATE, UPDATE ROW, CHANGE, APPLY, APPLY%CHANGES%, GET_NEXT%, GET_PREV%
Valid Insert Request Values: INSERT, CREATE, CREATE_AGAIN, CREATEAGAIN
Valid Delete Request Values: DELETE, REMOVE, DELETE ROW, DROP

Opening a form in a POP UP window from report

I would like to open a form in a new window from a
link on a field in the report .
Parameters should be passed from the report to form.
Is it possible to do this with a portal link?
Also After modification of the form & on click of save is it possible to close the newly opened window(form) & refresh the report to reflect the changes as both refer to the same table.
Any Idea pls reply,
Thanks in Adv,
Sajith.

Hi,
You can achieve this using by sql based reports. Here is a sample code snippet
select ''||
to_char(empno)||'' empno
from SCOTT.EMP
Please dont forget to change the display type of the column to HTML in the column formatting section of the reports,
otherwise the report will render the html code.
You can have a close button on the form on which you can write a javascript which closes itself. You can write this
on OnClick
self.close();
Hope this clarifies you doubt :-)
Thanks,
Sharmila

Windows 7 won't let me click on start orb or within open windows.

I'm not sure how to accurately describe the symptoms. My system is having a problem where it won't let me click on things or move windows around. I can always move the cursor/arrow around the screen, and I can almost always click on desktop items to open files and programs. The most frequent symptom is that I can't click on the Start button or other items in the quick launch bar or notification area. Sometimes I can't even move the arrow into the bottom portion of the screen with these items. And frequently I can't click on any options within a window or even the shutdown options on the log-in screen. On some occasions, I can't click on the "Next" button on a dialog window that opens when booting from the Windows Repair/Recovery DVD.
My PC an unmodified HP p6330f:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01969881
1. Restarting the computer will sometimes fix the problem, but usually only after multiple restarts.
2. I ran the memtest86+ for 20 passes with no errors
3. I ran WD's dlgdiag5.exe extended test on the HD with no errors
4. I reinstalled the whole operating system, and then things seemed to work well for a somewhat longer period only for the problem to return again (maybe after all the latest updates?), then go away, and then come back again.
5. In an attempt to start completely fresh, I erased my whole drive with zeros and attempted to do a completely clean re-install. The installation boot takes me to the "Install Windows" window (which asks about language and keyboard), but the bar across the top flashed blue/grey, then stayed grey, and I cannot select "Next."

Unable to create Menu Item List Buttons in Forms - Not Working!

Hi guys,
I need desperate help since I have been stuck on these for 2 days and I am unable to move forward!!
I am trying to create a pdf form using Acrobat pro 9 and Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES. Since I am new to this, I have been browsing through numerous sites, forums and tutorials to learn about this. So far, I was able to create the forum with text fields, etc.. I am trying to have a column in my pdf form where the users can simply copy & paste image icons here..I was having difficulty with this already and have done numerous searches in google. In the end, I thought I am better off trying to use the "stamp" tool for this instead of image field. So this is what I did:
1) I already placed the image icons (that the users will be copying & pasting) on my pdfs so users can simply click on it to select the image.
2) I added a new bottom to this form which has the short cut to the menu item "copy" function. I labeled this button as 'Copy' and to this button, I added the following javascript for "Mouseup":
app.execMenuItem("CopyFileToClipboard");
3) Next I created another button that I called 'paste' and this button executes the "Paste Clipboard Image as Stamp Tool" menu. This button has the following javascript:
app.execMenuItem("Annots:Tool:StampFromClipboardMenuItem");
I thought that after doing the above, the user should be able to click on one of the images in the pdf, then click on 'copy' button and in the end click on 'paste' button that will then run an action so user can stamp this copied image to where ever they want in that file. But this is not happening!! I dont why?? Nothing happens when these buttons are clicked. I have made sure that the "Extended features in Adobe Reader..." is enabled and also tried running the above javascripts on my console window to test it and i know that the actual javascript code is not at fault since these functions works when I try the code through the debugger window. But I just cannot figure out why these menu item functions are not working when the buttons I had created are clicked!!! I dont know if what I have done is correct or if there is a easier way to achieve what I am trying to do!! Its a shame there is no simpler way for the end-users to copy and paste images to the columns in the pdf forms.
please help me understand why the above button are not working....any help will be great!!

Hi Paul,
This is further to our email correspondence. I am just pasting your email response here since it may be useful to other newbies like me:
"Ok here you go ......I had to add the new row via a script object as the new objects are not completely available until the script ends so I cannot resize the new row from teh current script.
Then when we resize - we have to resize the row, the cells and the image ....we start with all existing subforms then we do it for the new row that was just added.
Lastly I see that you have a delete row button. This will have to be part of the row otherwise we ill not know which row the user will want to delete .....unless you ask them (which is not good UI design)."
I was really impressed the way you modified the script so the table height does not change when new rows are added. That did help me in understanding the methods and it will certainly be v useful to me in the future. I have been practicing and getting a hang of LS and I have actually decided to redesigned my form since it appears that trying to have a fixed table height is quite a bit of work each time a row is added, removed or changed, etc... Your advise so far have been v helpful and it has helped me in redesigned the form into a different layout. So far so good...However, I just have a few more clarifications regarding some hurdles I am facing:
PS: I have emailed you a sample of my new form now so you can have a look at it.
1) Dynamic Image fields:
In this form, I have a subform that has a dropdown list and next to this, I have an image field. I want to change the image based on the selection in the dropdown list. I found a few samples and tutorials on this already and I tried 2 different approach for this. One works and the other doesnt.
Method that works: What I have done here is, I added all the images in the form and have put their presence to invisible. Then using the javascript, I am making the image visible based on the selection in the dropdown list. I found this method somewhere through googling and it works.
Method that doesnt work: Its similar to the above, but instead of putting all the images in the form, I just inserted 1 image field and then tried to change the url of this dynamic image based on the selection in the drop down list. But this method is not working. I tried inserting this jscript and nothing happens:
switch (this.rawValue)
case "1":
myImages.value.Image.href=http://www.mysiteaddress.com/blah_blah.jpg;
break;
case "2":
myImages.value.Image.href=http://www.mysiteaddress.com/blah_blah2.jpg;
break;
The 2nd method does not work. Although I know the method 1 above works and I am currently using it, I am just curious to find out why the 2nd method is not working? Did I get the script wrong or is this feature no longer allowed? I just thought that if the second method works fine, it saves the hassle of putting all the images on the form and then making them hidden. Instead, I just need to put one image field and then dynamically change its image based on the selection. I hope this make sense..please advise..
2) Changing the background colour of the Dropdown list box:
I am trying to change the bg colour of the listbox in the dropdown list object (only the listbox bg color and not the whole background color). So, I added the following script to the mouseEnter event and this works:
var vName = this.somExpression;
var fieldObj = xfa.resolveNode(vName + ".ui.#choiceList.border.fill.color");
fieldObj.value = "255,255,225";
My Problem: The above script works so I dont need to change anything there. But, I also want to add another script to the mouseExit event to change the fill color to its default once the mouse leaves the dropdown lists. Initially, this field has no fill colour and the border fill style is none. The fill color is only added during the mouseEnter event. How do I change the bg color fill back to none during mouseExit after the above script is executed on mouseEnter?
(NOTE: If you see my form, I have used the above scripts for the dropdown list only in "boxSubform[0]".)
3) Changing the length of the Dropdown List box:
I only have about 1.6 inches workspace to add this dropdown list box. However, the length of some lists (list items) in this dropdown list box is actually longer and the remaining part is cut out. So, I added the following script to increase the dropdownlist length and it does not work the way I would have hoped...
The script I have written so far:
I added these to the mouseEnter event and it works fine -
form1.pageSubform.dynamicSubform.Table1.Row1.boxSubform[0].MyDropdown::mouseEnter - (JavaScript, client)
this.w = "2in"; //this is to to increase the width of the dropdown list
I added these to the mouseExit event and it works fine too-
form1.pageSubform.dynamicSubform.Table1.Row1.boxSubform[0].MyDropdown::mouseExit - (JavaScript, client)
this.w = "1.625in";
When I tested the form with the above script, this is what happens:
1) First when you move the mouse over this field, the width increases. Similarly the width decreased when you move away.
2) So, even if this is clicked, the list box is opened with this 2inch width so thats good.
3) There are no problems when the mouse is moved over these list items as well. However, this does not look good when the dropdown list item is clicked with its item lists open and then the mouse leaves this area. In this case, as soon as the mouse leaves this area, the mouseExit script runs and hence it makes the drop down list width to shrink eventhough the list items are still open. How do I resolve this? I was thinking about this and I thought the possible way to overcome this is by writing a javascript for the mouseExit event executing something like this:
if this dropdown list is open,
then this.w = "2in";
else
this.w = "1.625in";
I am not sure how to write a jscript for the above?
(NOTE: If you see my form, I have used the above scripts for the dropdown list in "boxSubform[0]".)
4) Hiding the alternative row shadowing for hidden columns:
If you check out my form, you can notice that I have put the "close" button (button to delete table rows) on the left column and I have also put its presence to "Visible (screen only)". The parent table has got the 'alternative row shadow' checked. What I notice here is, when this page is printed, eventhough the first column's presence is set to "Visible (Screen Only)", it still prints the row shadow for this column and it looks bad. How can I fix this? Any help will be great!
I have already emailed you my new form again so you can have a look.
Thanks again Paul and I cant thank you enough for your help. I am sooo happy to see such a great support and resources available here since it can be a nightmare for some newbies like me... :-)

Opens a form with the middle part not the header section

i am using forms 9i.
i have a form (Form 1) whose windows size is 800X600 which is scrollable .
In Form 1 at the below (end) i have a button on cllicking which Form 2 is opened.
but Form 2 is not opening with the header section. it is opening with the below section.
Form 1 has the many item and at the end a button is avaliable say
employee Details
on clicking this button it has to open Form 2
Form 2 has the following items in it
Name:
Id:
Department:
experience:
Personal details:
on clicking the button it should open the form from the Name item right. but it
opens with the item experience . i have to scroll the form to see the header section .

Thanks for your answer.
ya i have given go ittem (Name);
its working. That is control goes to that item (that item is enabled as blue) but then as it opened we can see items only from the description field. To see the name field which is on top of the form and which is in focus(due to the go_item), we need to scroll up using the browser scroll bar. Our understanding is that since the forms is running as an applet in the IE browser, do we need to do some setting in any of the config or environment files so that the form will always open with the top of the form visible to the user? Please advise.
THanks and regards,

Could not load assembly or file "crystaldecisions.windows.forms"

Hi,
I have a VS2005 C# .net application which works fine when I run on the programming machine.
Now , I copy all files (dll , pdb , exe) from the Project's "..bin\Debug " directory .
These files I transfer to another computer which does not have VS 2005 .NET installed (or any separate crystal reports program), but it does have .netframework 1 and 2, so that I can test the application on that "test" computer.
When I double click the .exe , I log in and then I click a menu item which shows a form which has a crystalreport viewer in it.Here , an unhandled excepion error is shown like this...
Could not load assembly or file "crystaldecisions.windows.forms" version 10.2.3600.0
Note please: I have not created an installer(.msi) package for our application yet.
The application does not refer to any crystal reports dlls in it's directory
Thanks -

Hello Dimitar,
If Crystal Reports is not properly integrated into your VS IDE you'll usually see that kind of message.
You have to make sure that Crystal Reports is properly integrated into Visual Studios. Do you have a full version of Crystal Reports installed on your Visual Studios .NET 2005 development machine? If so, what is the version of Crystal Reports? Open Crystal Reports, go to the Help menu, and then About Crystal Reports. What is the version number and name (listed near the top)?
Now open Visual Studios and go to Help > About VS. In the list of Installed Products what does it say for Crystal (usually near the bottom of the list). Please DO NOT include your keycode - just what it says for Crystal.
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher

Open multiple forms, few in Enter-Query mode

Hi All,
I want to open multiple forms from a form using open_form built-in. If user clicks on different items of the parent form different child forms are invoked.
But if one child form is opened in Enter-Query mode (I have 'enter_query;' in its when-new-form-instance) it does not allow to put focus back on parent form and invoke other forms until I execute_query in child form or close the child form.
Waiting for your replies. Thanks in advance.

How can I dock icons for every opened windows?

Hello all,
First time poster here and first time owner of Mac. I want to know how I can get all opened windows to show as icons on the dock. On a Windows OS, any opened window will have an icon on the Taskbar. Does a Mac OS have the same feature? And no, I don't want to use the old Expose. I want to be able to get to an opened window that is hidden behind another window by just one click, instead of moving windows around (so that I can get my intended window to be where I can click on it), or instead of using Expose.
One way to get the opened windows to appear on the dock is to miminize it. I find that to be burdensome, especially if you're openeing a lot of windows quickly. I want to be able to switch between opened windows in just one click.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

You need to either control-click on the application's Dock icon and then regularly click on the item representing that window, or to click and hold the application's icon until the menu appears, and then releasing the button when the cursor is over the menu item.
