Can I control windows Application without JNI?

Hi,
I knew that in JDK1.3 or JDK 1.4, the Robot(java.awt.Robot) support sending to front Application of Windows OS.
In other words, It cant send to specific window of Application. In other to do it, I never touch the other Application using mouse or key directly. Finally, I think Robot class just has the limited control.
also Robot class has the screen capture function. but it is doing in Full screen of Windows although I wanna capture active window of ONE application.
Isnt JDK 1.4 supported?
Do I just capture window image using JNI?
Let me know... wish your help.

Install Windows on a partition of your Mac's hard drive using Boot Camp. You can then boot into Windows any time you want, the same as if you were running it on a Windows PC:

Control of Windows Applications with Creative IR Rem

In other threads, Jeremy has referred to controlling Windows applications w/ a Creative IR remote.
However, he did not identify specifically how to do so, i.e. how to control specific functions w/ in a Windows applications.
I would like to control Windows Media Player with the Creative IR Remote (RM-500) that I use w/ my Audigy 2 NX. Can I program the keys of the remote to manipulate the controls of Windows Media Player, e.g. to select songs, play lists, and other settings? If so, specifically how?
Further, what does the "Parameters" and "Start In" inputs in the Window Applications Properties window in the Remote Control and OSD Settings Program permit's How does one use them?
Thanks.

Controlling Menu Bars of Windows Applications like IE and Editor with LabVIEW 6

Hi everybody !
I'm trying to develop a vi (LabVIEW 6) which controls menu bars in
Windows Applications (IE, Editor, etc.) like "File-Save As..." or
"View-Source...". I'm pretty sure I've got to use the ActiveX
possibilities in LabVIEW, but I haven't been succesful. Any comments
will help.
Thanks

You can use Win32 API to simulate a key-press (e.g. ctrl-S for Save)
for IE or any window applications, as long as the application has
short cut for menu items, and active.
You can use external code (VC, VB, dephi, etc..) to build DLL, CIN, or
ActiveX, call them in LabVIEW.
I made "Send Keys.vi" in G Toolbox.
If the menu item doesn't has a shortcut, you can send a message (use
spy tool to find out) to the application.

How to Direct control to application's window after closing the popup?

Hi,
I am using 10.1.3. In my application I am unable to direct control to application's window after closing the popup, if I open any other window at the same time.
For more info see the below step:-
-> Open any popup in my application.
-> Open any new window (lets say Google.com).
-> Now restore popup on Google window.
-> Now close popup
          - control goes to Google window but not the parent application window.
How to direct control to the parent window?
Can anybody help me regarding this?
Thanx...Abhijit

Hi Abhijit,
You can do this using Javascript alone. Below are the two sample files I created.
main.html_
<html>
<head>
<title>Testing popup</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function openPopup() {
    window.open("popup.html");
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a hr_ef="javascript:openPopup()">Open popup</a>
<input id="something" name="something" type="text" value="something">
</body>
</html>
Note: hr_ef should be href. The code tags are messing with the link.
popup.html_
<html>
<head>
<title>This is the popup window</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function goToMain() {
    window.opener.something.focus();
</script>
</head>
<body onunload="goToMain()">
This is the popup window. Close this window to return to main window.
</body>
</html>The idea is to call a javascript function in the popup window that tries to focus on an object (eg. InputText) in the main html.
Although, one point to take note is the naming of html objects by by these ADF UI Components. If you named your form id as "*form1*" and input text id as "*something*", your input text id will end up as "*form1:something*".
Therefore, you will have to tweak the code above to the following:
<script type="text/javascript">
function goToMain() {
window.opener.form1['form1:something'].focus();
</script>Regards,

NO java control panel in windows system control window

Hello together,
there seems to be a bug/feature (?) not allowing me to use the plugin functionality of my J2EEsdk-1_4
Situation:
Before i installed the J2EE i had an already installed java plug-in 1_4_2 working fine on
my Laptop giving my ms explorer 6.0 the Java VM needed. To avoid conflicts, i deinstalled
this plug-in, before i installed the J2EE 1_4_2. The result was disapointing.
There was NO java control panel in the windows2000 system control window after installing J2EE.
There was no corresponding registration key in the registry anymore.
Additionally there was no java related entrance to be seen anymore in the advanced internet and
security options of my ms explorer 6.0.
i have have found several trouble reports mentioned similar problems during the last months but unluckily
no solution working for me.
i did several tests with different java packages i downloaded today to get the actual versions
First:
i deinstalled the J2EE (not to get version conflicts) and installed the Java Plug-in 1.4.2 again.
This was proposed from ms explorer, when i tried to open an internet page with javaplugins included.
This plugin worked fine again. I could see and use the java panel and it enabled
my explorer to use the java plugin.
Second:
i deinstalled the Java Plugin and installed the J2sdk_1_4_2 instead.
The java plugin which is part of this package also worked fine.
Third:
i deinstalled the J2sdk_1_4_2 and installed the J2EEsdk-1_4-windows.exe.
the same misbehaviour as mentioned before. No java panel icon can be seen
in the windows system control, now registration......
as a workaround i have installed now both, the J2eesdk (i want to learn about)
and some additonal 100 MB java plug-in to enable my MS explorer to display
java applets again.
This is working fine again, but i really would prefer to have no need for two JREs.
By the way:
When i first opened the java control panel of the Plug-in and deactivated the update
mechanism , this plugin got really angry immedialtely afterwards. As a result my
laptop rebooted without coming up again. i had to initiate another hard reboot to get
windows back
i really would like to know , whats wrong me or the J2ee and i apriciate
any hint.
Best regards: yours aspirant

One thing you could do if you by all means want to have only one single copy of 1.4.2 on your system is to install standalone J2SE 1.4.2 (this will accomodate your Java console and browser plugin requirements) and then install Application Server only distribution (on the download page this is referred to as "Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8") and sample applications set ("J2EE 1.4 SDK Samples "). In this way you get full content you would get in J2EE 1.4 SDK and all the benefits of standalone J2SE 1.4.2 installation.
This is obviously more convoluted at installation time since there are 3 separate things to install, but it would seem to fit your requirements.
Hope this helps...

Problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on windows application ("specified type is not valid ")

Hi
I am having problem on using Crystal Report Viewer on one of my windows application.
I am not sure how to put the Crystal Report Viewer 11 Control onto the tool box.
I could found a Crystal Report Viewer control on my computer, but it is version 8.5.
I have also found another one which is Called Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, i don't think it is the one I can use. As when I try to load a dummy report on to the Crytal ActiveX Report Viewer, It return an error. "specified type is not valid"
Please see the Code sample below.
private sub loadReport()
     Dim r as New ReportDocument
     'v is the name of the Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Control
     r.Load("C:\Report1.rtp")
     v.ReportSource(r) <---It throw error on this line.
End Sub
Could you give me some advice about what have I done wrong, How to check if I have set up the Crystal Report Component correctly in my Visual Studio 2005 Standard edition.
Thanks in advances.
Many thanks
Chi

VS 2005 Standard and Express editions do not come with Crystal Reports; only the Professional and higher editions will have CR bundled. However, I believe you can purchase CR XI R2 Developer and it will give you the components you need to create a VS .NET 2005 application using the Standard edition.

Uploaded document via windows application does not show in document library, but as checked out Document

Hi,
A windows application uploads document to a document library programatically. Although they get added to the document library but are not shown there. Only when I go to the "Managed file that have no checked in verison" I see all the documents.
This happens even though I have set "No Versioning" in the library settings. This is probably happening because I have added a few custom columns to the library.
How can I avoid this situation and get to upload document which can directly be seen on the document library rather than first taking control of the doc and then checking it in?

Hi,
When uploading files without filling in some required columns, the files would appear in “Checked Out Files” page.
To avoid this situation, you can modify that windows application to force users fill in the required columns or just define default values for those columns.
You can take a look at the link below for more information:

I added acropdf.dll from
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\acropdf.dll"
but this is a reader and I want a fillable form to be opened.
Can some one help as to how to go about it?
thanks in advance,

Leonard,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I am able to open a fillable form, but I have to disable the some of the menu options like save.
I am not sure as to how to do this.
I am using the Adobe activeX control, acropdf.dll.
thank you,

Windows application design methods?

New to Java I'm having the same problems as others... totally incomprehensible behaviours and jargon. I need to get Windows application made. Is there a graphical, drag&drop layout tool in which I can place 'controls' such as buttons, panels, toolbars onto a window then write the code to respond to them? It seems to be commonplace in other systems.

I suggest that the FIRST skill you learn is how to find information on the internet.
IMHO that is FAR MORE IMPORTANT than any other single skill you might acquire.

Windows Application Verifier

Has anyone used the Windows Application Verifier with a CVI-built executable?
I'm curious if it works with a CVI developed app (maybe not in the debug mode but maybe in the logging mode?) and if it's capable of finding errors not detectable using a CVI debug build.
On a separate topic, I'm wonderingif there's anything available in CVI to help detect memory leaks? I seem to recall hearing that CVI 2009 had something like this, but maybe it's in the optional profiler that's not part of the FDS.
Thanks.
Menchar

I've found over the years that one of the best ways to cure memory leaks I have induced is very simple. Do a search for every instance of alloc, malloc or calloc and be absolutely certain there is a free call to go with it.
I personally prefer not to do this but if you alloc memory in a function and pass the pointer back, you really need to document that a free is needed to clear that memory. Even if you are the only one using that function, make it explicitly clear because you may forget (I know I do). Good practice is to document these things in usage comments and/or any design documents you do.
As for detecting them, Windows PerfMon can help there as somebody mentioned in this thread.

Application Usage Report Blank - ARD 3.8

We are trying to run an Application Usage Report on one of our clients. We are using both 3.8 Admin and Client.
It will run the report but the output is simply blank.
Has anyone seen this before? Any advice. Tried it on several clients and same issue each time.

Hi all - I'm suffering from similar ARD/VNC/ScreenSharing problems, too - in this case however Yosemite to Yosemite!
Client computer:
     Laptop: MacBook Pro
     Yosemite 10.10.2
     ARD 3.8.3
Remote Computer:
     Desktop: MacMini
     Yosemite 10.10.3
     ARD 3.8.3
I cannot connect to my remote machine (to control or just view it), neither with ARD nor with VNC.
It does not work with Remote Management enabled nor Screen Sharing.
Attempting a connection reports - after a while - the error "Connection failed ... Please make sure that Screen Sharing ... is enabled" (but it is enabled!)
In the log on the client machine the following entry appears:
Screen Sharing: SSSessionView.m:1815:-[SSSessionView ssSession:connectDidFail:]: Communications error
In the log on the remote machine the following entry appears:
com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.apple.screensharing[692]) Endpoint has been activated through legacy launch(3) APIs. Please switch to XPC or bootstrap_check_in(): com.apple.screensharing.server
Note, however that other functions work:
- On my Laptop ARD reports that the remote computer is available and displays the user and the current application correctly
- A connection does seem to be established between the client and the remote machine, because I can send a "Message to the Administrator" from the remote machine back to the client machine, which is correctly displayed on the client machine.
Come on Apple - you seem to have forgotten your credo "It just works!"
I thought I would never say it, but thank god for TeamViewer!

Getting (WHND) of windows applications

Hi,
I am trying to develop an application that on windows retrives the handles of a couple of native windows applications, to see if I can remote controll them using the message quea. I am not sure this is the right forum, but the one that seems to match most. I have unsuccesfully tried a couple of other forums.
Does some one know how to retrieve a handle from another application please?
Even without using J/Direct please?
Thanks in advance.
Michael (fairly inexperienced)

Getting the HWND of a Win32 application depends largely on your understanding of the Windows architecture. There are two main approaches from a total-solution perspective. BOTH perspectives rely on Java Native Interface API, but they use it differently. After you decide which of these two options to choose, you need to ask yourself, What input parameters can I provide to determine which Window's HWND I need?
1. Use the JNI, or a third-party library based upon it, to map individual Win32 API calls (like EnumWindows) into a Java class. Then write a Java program that calls these Win32 methods tagged as native in Java. This is the strategy used to implement the Standard Widget Toolkit, by the way...
2. Use the JNI, but in a different way, to call a more complicated Win32 procedure (rather than just the basics of JNI, which allow you to call a DLL which was written in C.) You could use Njawin, for example, to call into a COM DLL (like a Visual Basic application) which itself provides a more complete solution to the problem. APIs like Jawin, JIntegra, Njawin, and JacobGen will take a complicated Win32 binary module (a DLL, TLB, etc. depending upon which solution we're talking about) and interoperate it with Java, allowing you to retrieve Pure Java return types, call methods synchronously or asynchronously, etc.
If you are going to be invoking further native functionality after you get the HWND (as you hinted with the message queue), you will probably want to go with Solution 2; coding directly to the Win32 API is not necessary in many situations. If you need to use JAVA as the front end to your program, but you want a lot of native functionality, then:
1. Write all your native functionality in a high-level, object-oriented, COM-enabled Win32 programming language like Delphi, VB, C++, etc.
2. Code the main native procedure into a public object inside a COM DLL, and use JacobGen or Njawin to be able to call that method from inside Java.

Why is iTunes window open in every mission control window

I have a 27" iMac with the latest Mac OS and the latest version of iTunes. I have my iTunes library installed on an external Hard Drive. When I open iTunes, every mission control window has an open iTunes window? 10 screens 10 open iTunes windows? This is very annoying! How can I fix this so only one iTunes window is open on one mission control screen?

Hey llsorens,
Thanks for the question. Take a look at the resource for Mission Control below. It sounds like in your Mission Control preferences, you have the options set to All Desktops, which means the application (iTunes) will appear in every space.
OS X Yosemite: Work in multiple spaces
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18757?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US
Assign apps to spaces
If you assign an app to a particular space, it opens in that space by default.
Press and hold an app’s icon in the Dock. You may have to first open the app from Launchpad to see its icon in the Dock.
From the shortcut menu that appears, do one of the following:
Have the app open in the current space: Choose Options > This Desktop.
The app appears only in that space. However, if you open the app in full screen, it appears in its own space.
Have the app open in the current space on a specific display: Choose Options > Desktop on Display [number].
Have the app open in every space: Choose Options > All Desktops.
The app appears in every space.
Have the app open in whichever space you’re using at the time: Choose Options > None.
In Mission Control preferences, you can also specify that, when you switch to an app, your desktop should switch to a space with open windows for that app. To open Mission Control preferences, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Mission Control.
Hope that helps ...
