Controlling a videoo with custom controls

What is the best/proper way to pause a video?
Should you use
player.stop() -> player.start()?
or maybe
player.setRate(0.0f) -> player.setRate(1.0f)?
or
???? (better to use a processor maybe?)
Thanks.

Most guitars don't have midi outs, there are only a few of them. There are however some midi interface for guitars. BTW you can also use knobs on midi controllers and yes you need a midi interface on your mac as well. If you get a device that translates audio into midi (I think Redsound used to make such a device) you could use that to create visualizations in Motion. And some of the effects you have in Motion can also be found in Quartz Composer which can be used to create itunes visualizations.

  • WP8 Map control with custom tiles

    I'm trying to display a map control in my app targeting Windows Phone 8 but I want to use custom tiles from open street map.
    I'm using this line :
    mapControl.TileSources.Add(new TileSource("http://a.tile.openstreetmap.org/{zoomLevel}/{x}/{y}.png"));
    When I launch the app the custom tiles are properly displayed, but there's still the default map tiles underneath them.
    I tried to hide them, but I counld'nt even find where they exist in the map control and what is displaying them exactly.
    I would like to know how I can remove those default tiles when loading custom tiles.

  • Formel Variable - how to fill with Customer Exit from control table

    Hello Experts,
    I have create in BEx-Analyser a formel Variable ZEXRATE1 filled through Customer Exit. In BW I had a "control tabel" with keyfigures.
    In the query definition I have include 0FISCPER, 0FISCVARNT and 0VTYPE. This
    are the keys which should give the values for the selectstatement to select my keyfigure from the "control table" to fill ZEXRATE1.
    If it possible to do with Customer Exit (CMOD -> RSR00001 -> ZXRSRU01) or do I have to implement a Bapi. Perhaps someone can give me a code example.
    Regards Dieter

    Hi,
    Code may look like this
    WHEN 'ZEXRATE1'.
    check i_step = 2.
        LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO L_S_RANGE.
          CASE L_S_RANGE-IOBJNM.
            WHEN 'ZFISCPER'. GV_ZFISCPER = L_S_RANGE-LOW.
            WHEN 'ZFISCVARNT'. GV_ZFISCVARNT =  L_S_RANGE-LOW.
            WHEN 'ZVTYPE'. GV_ZVTYPE =  L_S_RANGE-LOW.
          ENDCASE.
        ENDLOOP.
        SELECT SINGLE RATE into INTO GV_RATE
                  FROM ZTABLE
                  WHERE 0FISCPER = GV_ZFISCPER
                  AND   0FISCVARNT = GV_ZFISCVARNT
                 AND 0VTYPE = GV_ZVTYPE   .
    Assumptions : ZTABLE name of control table
                          ZFISCPER name of variable represents fiscal period
                          'ZFISCVARNT' name of variable representing fiscal year variant 
                          'ZVTYPE'. name of variable representing value type

  • Batch Reading with Custom SQL

    Hello,
    Queries
    1. Is it possible to use Batch Reading in conjunction with Custom Stored Procs/ SQL?
    2. Is it possible to map an attribute to a SQL expression (like in Hibernate we have formula columns mapped using the formula* property)?
    Background
    1. We use Toplink 11g (11.1.1.0.1) (not EclipseLink) in our application and are controlling mapping using XML files (not annotations).
    2. We are migrating a legacy application with most of its data retreival logic present in stored procedures to Java.
    3. I am effectively a newbie to Toplink.
    Scenario
    1. We have a deep class heirarchy with ClassA+ at the following having a one-to-many relation with ClassB+ and ClassB+ having a one-to-many relation with ClassC+ and so on and so forth.
    2. For each of these classes the data retreival logic is present in stored procedures (coming from the legacy application) containing not so simple queries.
    3. Also there are a quite a few attributes that actually represent computed values (computed and returned from the stored procedure). Also the logic for computing the values are not simple either.
    4. So to make things easy we configured toplink to use the stored procedures to retreive data for objects of ClassA+, ClassB+ and ClassC+.
    5. But since the class heirarchy was deep, we ended up firing too many stored procedure calls to the database.
    6. We thought we could use the Batch Reading feature to help with this, but I have come across documentation that says that it wont work if you override toplink's queries with stored procedures.
    7. I wrote some sample code to determine this and for the heirarchy shown above it uses the speicifed Custom procedure (I also tried replacing the stored procs with custom SQL, but the behavior is the same) for ClassA+ and ClassB+, but for ClassC+ and below it resorts to its own generated SQL.
    8. This is a problem because the generated SQL contains the names of the computed columns which is not present in the underlying source tables.
    Thanks
    Arvind

    Batch reading is not supported with custom SQL or stored procedures.
    Join fetching is though, so you may wish to investigate that (you need to ensure you return the correct data from the stored procedure).

  • Vendor as customer ( clearing with customer field)

    Hi
    Iam customer number in control view of vendor master
    i think nest i have to check the clearing with customer indicator, but iam not finding this field. help me out with the navigation for this field
    chris

    hi
    If a vendor is a customer then you need to
    i) First create a master for the customer
    ii) Mention the name of the created customer in the master data of the vendor in the control view under Account Control in the Customer Field (LFA1-KUNNR)The customer number is used by the payment and dunning programs for clearing open items. For line item display, the link to the customer line items is established using this number.
    If you require clearing between the customer and vendor, the following requirements must be met:
    $ The customer number must have been entered in the corresponding vendor master record.
    $ The vendor number must have been entered in the corresponding customer master record.
    $ The fields "Clrg with vend." or "Clrg with cust." must have been selected in both master records.
    Kindly let me know if it is useful

  • Report with custom layout - formatting conditions

    Hi,
    There's a report with custom layout. What I need is to format some cells depending on the data they contain(like different background color). There's a tab named "Formatting Conditions" which should be meant for doing this and it works perfectly when report has tabular layout. But nothing happens in case of custom layout. Should this be done then in the "Report Layout Editor" and with Javascript? Portal version is 3.0.9.8.0.
    Thanks in advance,
    Madis

    Hi,
    Some condtions like background color do not work in custom mode reports. This is because in case of custom reports the table html is specified by the user and the report renderer has no control over it.
    Hope this helps.

  • Listbox with customized items

    Hello,
    I need to create a ListBox with custom items.
    Each item should consist of two elements: from static text on the left and edit text item on the right.
    I'm using ADM, is it possible to do?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yeah, I mean you'd draw it with primitives. Honestly, I'm not sure how easy it is to do things like "When you click here, create a line edit control", etc. Other people have wanted to do the same thing you're talking about, I can remember them asking. I don't think they ever posted to say what they ended up doing (or if they had to give up even). One common idea that crops up in that is what you've suggested, ie. two columns of items and faking the scroll.
    I think it is possible to create a custom widget and have child widgets though with the ADM. so you might be able to do a custom control and add line edit & labels as rows, maybe draw the line between them or something. I'm not 100% sure though. You'd probably need to keep a collection of pointers for each column and manage adding/deleting them yourself, plus resizing the custom widget to display them. Probably not a terrible amount of trouble to test that with a couple of rows as a test. If that worked, the scrolling would take care of itself at least.

  • Vertically scrolling an AdvancedDataGrid with custom ItemRenderers results in corruption

    I've logged a jira item about this ...
    http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FLEXDMV-2667
    It's probably a good idea to throw it open to the forum as well to see if anyone has encountered this before.
    In short, I have an AdvancedDataGrid with custom ItemRenderers on each of the columns that are responsible for rendering the cell data. If the ADG is resized so that it's not all visible, and the scrollbar is scrolled all the way up and all the way down a couple of times, and the ADG is then resized again so that all the rows are visible, there's something very wrong with the result. Basically it looks as though extra rows are being drawn behind the existing ones, all on top of one another, resulting in a corrupted display.
    I've actually gotten it to reproduce itself every time, if you check out the jira item above for executable code and follow the instructions you should see it, and there's a screenshot of the result as well.
    As I detail in the jira commentary, it's definately something to do with the renderers. As the scroll bar is moved up and down extra renderers are consantly being created, and old ones don't seem to be GC'd at any point, and furthermore seem to be drawn onscreen even when they're not being used to explicitly draw the cells of the ADG. If this -is- the case then there's a memory leak here as well.

    Throwing the code inline to make it easier to try out ...

    1. resize the ADG so that not all of the ADG is visible vertically, and the verticle scrollbar is shown. In the example attached the ADG is in a split panel, so the split bar can be dragged up to conceal some of the rows and display the scrollbar.
    2.  drag the scroll thumb all the way to the top of the scrollbar, and all the way to the bottom and back to the top several times.
    3.  Resize the ADG again so that all the rows are visible.
    and the corruption should be clear to see. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like:
    Anyone ever seen anything similar ? And if so, any workarounds or fixes ?

    Hi,
    The logic what you follows is some what in the right direction but need to have some changes.
    What I would say is, first consume the windowClose event. Then open the dialog box and close the parent accordingly.
    So after refactoring your code.
    import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
    import javafx.event.EventHandler;
    import javafx.scene.Group;
    import javafx.scene.Scene;
    import javafx.scene.control.Button;
    import javafx.scene.control.Label;
    import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
    import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
    import javafx.stage.Modality;
    import javafx.stage.Stage;
    import javafx.stage.StageStyle;
    public class ModalDialog extends Stage {
         Stage owner;
         Stage stage;
         BorderPane root;
      public ModalDialog( Stage owner, String title){
        root = new BorderPane();
        stage = this;
        this.owner = owner;
        initModality( Modality.APPLICATION_MODAL );
        initOwner( owner );
        initStyle( StageStyle.UTILITY );
        setTitle( title );
        setContents();
      public void setContents(){
        Scene scene = new Scene(root,150,150);
        setScene(scene);
        Group groupInDialog = new Group();
        groupInDialog.getChildren().add( new Label("Really Exit ?") );
        root.setCenter( groupInDialog );
        Button yes = new Button( "Yes" );
        yes.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
              @Override
              public void handle(ActionEvent paramT) {
                   stage.close(); // Closing the pop up.
                   owner.close(); // Closing the parent stage also.
        Button no  = new Button( "No" );
        no.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
              @Override
              public void handle(ActionEvent paramT) {
                   stage.close(); // Closing the pop up only
        HBox buttonPane = new HBox();
        buttonPane.setSpacing(10);
        buttonPane.getChildren().addAll(yes,no);
        root.setBottom(buttonPane);
        stage.show();
    }And the main class to check this implementation is
    import javafx.application.Application;
    import javafx.event.EventHandler;
    import javafx.scene.Group;
    import javafx.scene.Scene;
    import javafx.stage.Stage;
    import javafx.stage.WindowEvent;
    public class WindowEvent06 extends Application {
      public void start(final Stage stage) throws Exception {
        Group root = new Group();
        Scene scene = new Scene(root);
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.setTitle("WindowEvent06");
        stage.setOnCloseRequest(new EventHandler<WindowEvent>() {
          public void handle(final WindowEvent e){
             e.consume(); // Consuming the event by default.
             new ModalDialog( stage, "Question");
        stage.show();
      public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }I hope the above code will give you some idea what i mean. :)
    Happy Coding !!

    How do I add URI web link with custom tooltip like "CLICK HERE TO UPDATE" instead of URI web link in tooltip.

    You've probably found an answer to this by now, but I think this has been addressed in another forum -- The link below suggested using a button and adding the tooltip to the button.

    Sounds like it would work but I haven't actually tried it. 
    Good luck~!

    the old apps are on my computer but they have had upgrades since they were put on the ipod originally.  you think you would get a warning about this when you restored. I was not worried about losing the progress of the apps but i would have been worried about the app it self!!!!!

  • Anyone know how to contact anyone in Verizon headquarters?  Since I'm not getting anywhere with Customer Service

    I'd like to express how unsatisfied we have been with Verizon on an issue that has been ongoing now since March 14, 2014.  It involves an upgrade on one of our lines.  After all these months, phone call with customer service, Tech support, and visits to a Verizon stores, I would hope that there are ample notation on our acct but since I've had to explain the situation on a bi-weekly time frame, I would assume that no one has documented any contacts.
    We've been with Verizon for few yrs now and I have always been very satisfied with Verizon who, up until now , always provided excellent customer service in their knowledge, concern, and customer satisfaction.  But I have to say, every positive outlook I've had with your company has been wiped clean with the worst service we have received in the last few months.
    We upgraded my daughter's phone on 03-14-14 with a Samsung Galaxy Mini from an Iphone 4s.  Within 24 hrs, the phone failed.  After 2 visits to a Verizon store the next day which took 6 hrs, we still had to return the next day to speak to a manager.  The 2 stores advised us to make a CLAIM on the defective phone thru our insurance plan with Verizon.  A CLAIM on a 24 hr old phone!!  A 3rd visit with a manager finally convinced him to replace the phone with another new phone at the store.  Within 2 weeks - issues began to occur with the replacement phone.  Several visits more, several calls more with Customer Service, several calls more with tech support which adds up to soooo many of our time taken up to simple have temporary "fixes" is outrageous.  If I billed Verizon for my time, perhaps the situation would have been resolved more quickly.  Each visit lasts approx 2 hrs, each phone call approx 1-1 1/2 hrs.  We are talking at least 2x a month for the course of 5 1/2 months.  Plus the time it takes to get the phone back to where she needs it - contacts, apps, internet. 
    Not once were we offered a new phone or replace the phone.  Not until today.  Replace the phone with the same phone that my daughter has grown to hate.  So basically a 3rd phone - same phone.  She is not interested in this phone any longer.  She dealt with this phone model for far too long.
    Today we were offered to replace the phone with same phone, or pay for a refurbished Iphone 4.  So basically she would be going back to her original Iphone 4s before the upgraded WITH a cost.  So her upgrade was wasted, we'd paid over $200 for a defective phone, and would need to pay for an even older model Iphone 4 and have to pay for it.  Why wasn't she offered a different phone within those 30 days after the upgrade and 6 visits? 
    Every rep at the stores, every rep in tech support would provide a different reason for the issue.  Finally, tech support advised not to download apps.  WHAT GOOD IS A SMARTPHONE IF YOU CAN'T HAVE APPS???  We are talking about a 20 yrs college student who attends school in another state.  Do you know the trouble she has to go thru to visit a store? To find 2 hrs between being a full time student with 2 jobs to sit on the phone with a tech support or go to a Verizon store?  Once-ok  Twice-maybe  BUT for 5 months?
    She's not eligible for an upgrade.  She will be stuck with a phone that she had grown to hate.  And I with customer service which I've grown to hate. 
    Finally, The Edge.  Trying to find a way to make my daughter happy, I spoke with 4 representative today about the Edge.  Each rep gave me 4 different information.  1st rep advised Edge phone could not be used on another line so I could not use a line eligible for the Edge and give that phone to my daughter since she isn't eligible for the Edge.   2nd rep advised that although new phone thru edge must be used by same number that it was eligible for, we could use the current phone o that line for my daughter.  My son currently has an Iphone 5 and is eligible for the Edge early upgrade.  He would not have to return his Iphone 5 so my daughter could use it.  However, all the lines would have to go to the More Everything Plan and share the Data between all our phone lines.  3rd rep advised the cost would almost double from our current $358 to go to the More Everything Plan so suggested to have 2 accounts vs just 1.  4th rep advised not every line needs to go the More Everything Plan, we could not keep the current phone, and my daughter could get a replacement phone but same phone or made exception to offer the Edge early upgrade to my daughter but only after we go thru the replacement program because the phone we send to Verizon has to be in good working order/no defects. 
    After 5 1/2 months, it is now Verizon that is indicating that we have a defective phone and can't accept it thru the Edge program or we would get billed approx $299 for a defective phone.  After 5 1/2 months of me calling in about a defective phone that not one rep replaced because they "fixed" the problem ( by the way, a temporary fix is not fixing, if it was fixed I would have made those calls today or writing this email), I am now being told her phone is defective.  She advised to get a replacement phone first, return the old phone, activate the new phone, then call in to get the Edge early upgrade.  So my daughter would have to do all this, plus add contacts back, apps and whatever else she needs to use her phone just to turn around a couple weeks later and do it all over again with the new phone thru the Edge program.  Once again, we are the ones having to be inconvenienced and go thru all these steps.  Did I mention she is going to be studying abroad in Italy beginning Nov?  So the idea of having to wait 2-3 weeks for a new phone and having only a week or 2 to test the phone to make sure it's working properly before she's out of the country doesn't sound appealing to me.  Verizon has made us have a defective phone for 5 months advising it's in good working order after each and every "fix" but Verizon will not accept that phone if returned in the same condition as a phone in good working condition.  Do you see the irony in that? 
    I have reached my limit and after 5 yrs of my brother in law trying to convince us to switch to AT&T where he works in their Corporate Office, I can honestly say I will not be sad to leave Verizon.  Especially when one of your reps simply provided me with the contract end dates to provide to AT&T because they offered to buy out our contract.  No effort in customer retention what so ever.  That was a phone call on Thursday. 
    And yes, one of your tech reps tried to convince me of all the hassle it would be to switch and time AT&T would take to buy out our contracts but honestly it was the pot calling the kettle.  I am not in the position to discuss hassle and time after 5 months of getting that with Verizon.  Did I mention it's my brother in law so we would be getting special treatment and no out of pocket expenses to switch.  It was my loyalty and satisfaction with Verizon that has kept me from switching all these years.  Something Verizon clearly does not appreciate. 
    So can you guess where I am with confidence that your customer service department is knowledgable about the plans/offers?  Where I am that I can trust what I'm being told?
    I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue. 
    On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.

    I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
    I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?
