Create a button

Hi
I'm using Xcelsius in bw.
And I would like to create a button to exit application
And another button to refresh the data (I want to execut the prompts)
And finally a button to save the query output in excel?
best regard
francoise

Hi Francoise,
Here are the answers to your questions
1.Cant you just press "X" on your browser to exit? If you really want to go to another page or something with a button you can use the URL Button and have it point to "google.com" or something.
You can find it in the components window "Web Connectivity" -> URL Button
2. To refresh data you choose the button that is located
"Web Connectivity" -> "Connection Refresh Button"
Note that you will need to setup your data connections which you can do by pressing "CTRL + M"
3. Are you looking to persist your query output somewhere else? If so the native Xcelsius cannot do that because Xcelsius is made to be read only. If you really do want to save the output you can look into 3rd party tools such as the output addon from centigon solutions, or you can code a web service and then call that web with the URL button from #1.
-If you just want to output the query onto the screen, then you can use the push button which is located in the components window
"Selectors" -> "Push Button"
Hope that helps
David

Is there a way to create a button that links to a website?

Is there a way to create a button that links to a website?
I was reading up that it's possible to this with menus, and tracks but can you do it with a button and how?
I am hoping to create a button that people viewing my discs on a computer can click on the link and their web browser will pop up and take them to a website.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
-Fraky

dvd@ccess questions are being asked once a week on this forum, so I'll repeat why it's useless:
- Mac users have to enable the feature in the preferences of DVD Player in order to for the links to work.
- PC users have to install a small application on their PC, and they have to reboot the PC in order for the links to work.
- On top of this, it's still unreliable, and may not work on some computers.
It's a dog: Don't use it.

Help trying to create a button in safari please.

trying to create a button that runs an applescript. I have been discussing it in 101 but cross posting it here because it's not getting much interest over there.
Any help would be nice. I have read Become an xCoder and it doesn't seem to answer my questions.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1514799&tstart=0

Is there no way to create an appcontroller that works like an applescript? Or get an applescript to be recognized so a new NSButton added to the Bookmark bar be activated?
i.e.
*tell application "System Events"*
* tell application "Safari" to activate*
* keystroke "n" using {command down}*
* delay 0.1*
* keystroke "l" using {command down, shift down}*
*end tell*
Or,
_Something Like:_
/ AppController /
*#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>*
*@interface AppController : NSObject*
*IBOutlet id NSButton;*
*-(IBAction) autoFill:,delay 0.1,checkSpelling:(id)sender*
@end
I really don't know if that AppController looks anything like it should or if it's even close.

What is the diffrence between "Key to Select" and "Selected Key" while creating Radio Buttons?

While creating radio buttons there is a confusion regarding two properties "Key to Select" and "Selected Key".Can anybody explain it with example?
Thanks,
Vimal

Hi Vimal,
Please find my explanation as below
Key to Select: This is the unique key for each radio button to identify which one is selected
Selected Key: This holds the "KEY" of selected radio button
Example:
   Let us say we have 2 radio buttons : Male & Female
     Create a context attribute SELECTED_KEY of type STRING.
     Create an action ON_SELECT for radio button select event
     Now,
     the properties for "MALE" radio button as below
          KEY_TO_SELECT = 'M'
          SELECTED_KEY = "bind to the context attribute SELECTED_KEY
          OnSelect = 'ON_SELECT'.
     The properties for 'Female" radio button as below
          KEY_TO_SELECT = 'F'
          SELECTED_KEY = "bind to the context attribute SELECTED_KEY
          OnSelect = 'ON_SELECT'.
If we select radio button 'Male', we get the key as 'M' and for 'Female' radio button 'F'.
check inside the event handler method ONACTIONON_SELECT, you get the 'KEY' of selected radio button.
So, the context attribute 'SELECTED_KEY' gets filled with the key of selected radio button
Hope this helps you in distinguishing the 'KEY TO SELECT' & 'SELECTED KEY' .

How to create a button that Copies subform data and paste it to a new page?

Hi , I'm want to create a button that when clicked copys all the data from the feilds of a subform off the previous page and paste it into current page.
I have used Steve's "Simple table.pdf example" to add a subform called DecorationDetail that has a button that adds an instance when clicked.
Contained in the decorationdetail subform are feilds named Quantity, Description,UnitPrice etc. and a delete instance button.
So when the first page is filled out, and a second page with blank duplicate feilds is added by a add page button. I want to be able to click a button
positioned at the end of the row of feilds, and it then copies the same subform data from the previous coresponding page and pastes it into the current page subform feilds.
Hope this make sense?. A step by step guide would be greatly appreciated!!!.

Hi,
Does this article provide you with some clues? http://www.perfectwebtutorials.com/2011/how-to-create-simple-contact-form-in-flash/

I am trying to create a button in flash that will display 4 separate images at the same time when clicked. I can't get the images to stay on when I take the mouse of the button. I need the actions script code to make this happen.

I am trying to create a button in flash that will allow the user to click on the button and 4 separate images show up at the same time. I can get the images to appear when I click the button but they will not stay on the screen. I need to know what code I use to make the images stay once the button is clicked, then I need to know exactly where I place that code. It does not appear to be possible to add the action code to the buttons layer since each time I add a new layer I just get another "up" "over" "down" and "hit" line.
Thank you in advance

It is not clear how you are trying to realize this from your description. If you are trying to create this within a button symbol it will not work. Explain your approach and if there is code involved, show what you have so far.

How to create text buttons that link to video?

I've finally gotten around to trying DVD SP, and even though I read the whole manual, it's not at all clear if, or how, you can create text buttons that link to the video you want to play, without displaying a clip of that video in the button itself.
I have no problem creating a text button, but I can't change the font, and editing is counter-intuitive, unlike iDVD. I'd use iDVD, but it doesn't accept .m2v files, and it seems to think that my 6 videos of about 43 minutes each are too large for a DVD+DL disc, so it won't let me burn it or save it as a disc image.
Does anyone have a way out of this conundrum, or am I SOL?
Mulder

It really isn't that hard!
As Drew said, go into your menu and click and drag to create a button rectangle. With the button highlighted, look in the property inspector at the bottom and type in the text that you want to use. Ensure that you 'include in button highlight' and then set the colour choice for selected and activated.
What you get is a simple line of text which illuminates when you roll over it, and changes colour when you click on it.
Once that is done, click on the button area again and set the target to go to the piece of video that you want to have play back.
You should also set the menu call and end jump on that track to make sure your viewer can get back to the menu.
Once that is done the menu will show as a simple piece of text (more buttons means more bits of text, and the first button will be highlighted by default) and no video will play until the button is activated.
DVDSP is definitely a steeper learning curve than iDVD but for very good reasons. You get far greater control and access to far more advanced features in DVDSP. This means that some things will seem harder, whereas in fact they are just different and the process for achieving the result you want is different. Much of what you want to know is in the manual and also in the tutorials which came with the app. Failing that there are several good online spaces where you can find a lot more information... not least of which is right here, of course!

Can I use stylesheets to create multiple button styles?

I am trying to create a custom look-and-feel within UIX to get it as close as possible to
our existing application's look-and-feel.
As part of this, I customized the UIX button by overriding the following named style:
ButtonServerText
and also by providing my own icons for:
buttonStart
buttonEnd
buttonTopBackground
buttonBottomBackground
The good news is that I was able to get the button component to look exactly like our existing
application buttons.
The bad news is that we have different types of buttons in our application
for different purposes. (i.e. the image used for the button can be completely different based on the context e.g.
yellow button for important actions and light-blue buttons for secondary actions)
It seems like there is no way in which I can use this stylesheet mechanism to create different types of buttons
and use them within my application. (sometimes different types of buttons can appear on the same page)
Please let me know if there is a way.
This is in fact a general question regarding overriding a stylesheet for customizing look-and-feel.
Lets say I customize the "contentContainer" component using the stylesheet. This change would then be global.
But I do want to have different types of contentContainers in the application. I would be forced to create my own custom
UIX elements similar to contentContainer and write my own renderers.
(I know contentContainer does have the light, medium and dark styles. I used this just as an example.)
Please let me know what my options are.
Thanks,
Jayesh Kapoor

Hi Jayesh -
The good news is that I was able to get the button
component to look exactly like our existing
application buttons.Cool - I'm glad to hear you were able to get this working!
The bad news is that we have different types of
buttons in our applicationRight. This is a fundamental limitation of our look and feel customization functionality - we only support global customizations, not instance-specific customizations. I agree that there are many cases where instance-level customization would be useful, but this just instance supported yet.
The only solution that I can think of for your button dilemma would be to use static images. It's pretty easy to wire up an image to behave like a button - just embed the image in a link and use <fireAction> as the link's primaryClientAction.
Obviously, the downside of this approach is that you need to create the button images manually - which also isn't ideal if you are planning to translate your applications. One possible solution here might be to use UIX to pre-generate your button images. The idea would be to create custom LAFs for each style of button, then create a UIX page for each button style, including <button> instances for each translated value. Then, you could configure UIX to run in the desired look and feel, hit the corresponding page, and UIX will generate the required buttons into your image cache. Again, not ideal, but this might be easier than creating the buttons by hand.
This is in fact a general question regarding
overriding a stylesheet for customizing
look-and-feel.
Lets say I customize the "contentContainer" component
using the stylesheet. This change would then be
global.
But I do want to have different types of
contentContainers in the application. I would be
forced to create my own custom
UIX elements similar to contentContainer and write my
own renderers.Right - this is a generic problem. But for some components, like content containers, an easier solution might be to leverage UIX's templating mechanism. Remember, you can embed arbitrary HTML contents in a UIX page/template by setting the namespace to "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40". You can then reference these templates from your other UIX contents as if they were in fact UIX components. I'd recommend that you explore UIX's template support to see if this will meet your needs.

How can i create a button with richText display instead of label

Hi All,
I'm trying to create a button that will look exactly as the regular spark button but will have more than one color in his label (Like attached 'buttonPic.jpg')
I have tried to create a new button skin and new button component that will replace the label text and will to the job, but still it looks like the button original class overides the richText definitions. (Code attached)
Maybe there is other solution?
This is my extra code in the MyButtonSkin
     
    
    <s:Label id="labelDisplay"

Is there a way to create a button that works the same as the ImageField?

I am trying to create a button that acts like the ImageField tool. I want to be able to click on the button and it will direct me to browse for my photo that I want to attach.
I am using LiveCycle. (I am a nooby and have limited skills when it comes to script)
The ImageField function is to complex of a function for the use on my IPAD (PDF Expert APP). I can create a photo button using Adobe Form Creater and it works fine with the below script:
event.target.buttonImportIcon ();
This is a mouseup Action Event.
My form that has been created in LiveCycle works perfectly on my IPad, except the photos. If I can simplify the function of the photos to act more like the Adobe Form Creater tool, then perhaps it will all work together.
Any ideas, or is this just a waste of time? I have created the form over using Adobe Form Creater, but it has some limitations that make it not function as nice as LiveCycle's form.
Thanks

Not in Acrobat unless your image is already in the PDF format.
This is a feature of forms created with LiveCycle Designer.

Is there a way to create a button on the front panel that would automatically open the txt file data is being stored to?

I am saving data read from FieldPoint to a .txt file. Is there a way to create a button on the front panel so that when the user pushes this button it automatically opens the .txt folder in notepad? I want to bypass the user having to find the file in the computer in order to open it.

Hi jem,
I suggest that you break this up into three seperate questions and re-post to this list. That way you get more ideas from others that may have better insites than myself.
Re:the sysexec
The Sysexec will allow you to execute a dos command. This is the equivalent of going to
Start>>>Run
What you should do is find the proper DOS command sysntax that is required to open a text file in notepad or your favorite editor. Once you know what a good DOS command is, you should pass that string to the Sysexec.VI. The Sysexec has an input that allows you to choose if the code waits for the command to complete or if it should just start the program and let it run in the background. Sysexec will open its own window to run the command you speci

Is there a way to create a button to make an entire page visible or hidden in an Acrobat XI form?

Is there a way to create a button to make an entire page visible or hidden in an Acrobat XI form?

Note that Reader (11 or otherwise) cannot show/hide pages that are templates. Reader 11 can spawn new pages from templates and delete any spawned pages, however. It also supports spawning a template by overlaying it on an existing page.

Can you create a button from apDiv in CS4

can I create a button action for in the code view
<div id="ap Div3"></div>
I know how to link text that I place within the div id to a html document but I want to be able to draw an AP DIV from the layout and have it contain an image or color, then when hovering over have the background change to a color, then be able to hit anywhere whithin the <div id="ap Div3"></div> area and have it change to another color.
I am very comfortable with flash and am having a dificult time understanding the rigid layout of dreamweaver.
thanks in advance

I get the impression you are new to DW. With that said, I think it would be a very good idea for you to go over to http://www.w3schools.com and get familiar with html and css.
I dont believe you can have an apdiv as a link (I may be wrong, but hopefully at the end of this it will not be relevant), however you can have a "button" or other graphic as a link. Here is the code.
<a href="http://www.yourlink.com"><img src="folder/file.ext" width="200" height="200" /></a>
This will create a link on an image.
If you want the image or colors to change, you will have to go and set rules for your links. Put the following in your editor (DW Code View) and adjust as you like.
a:link {
    color: #333333;
a:visited {
    color: #FFFFFF;
a:hover {
    color: #CCCCCC;
    background-color: #333333;
a:active {
    color: #333333;
Lastly, apdivs, in particular for someone new to DW and html can be a world of pain. Trying to use them as a layout object can be very frustrating, because once you have tweaked and tweaked them, you look at your layout on a different machine, and chances are it looks nothing like what you had.

Can you create a button that adds specific text to a form field?

Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible to create a button in a PDF that, when clicked, adds specific text to a form field?
I am trying to make a product catalogue where you click on a product button to add the product name or code to a form field.
Each product in the catalogue will have a button and the more you click the more is added to the form field(s).
Then when you have finished adding products to the form field(s) I want to be able to save and email the entire PDF as an order form.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Jim

Yes, it's possible. The most simple version of such a script will be something like this (used as the button's MouseUp event):
var v = this.getField("Products");
if (f.value!="")
f.value += ", ";
f.value += "Product1";

How to create a button like the one pictured here

How would I create a button like the print button below?
I was thinking actually make it two separate buttons placed next to each other. The print button obviously would just be a modified boolean, that's easy. But the drop down is a bit harder. I figure I could customize a drop down but because I haven't been able to play around with it in LabVIEW (don't have it at home) I'm not sure if you can modify the alignment of the box that actually drops down etc. Is the drop down box location and look something you can modify within the control editor?
I'm guessing I could also use .net correct? But I am trying to keep it all with just control modification in LabVIEW if possible. Thanks.

for(imstuck),
I'd use a multicolumn listbox and toggle it's visibility when the user clicks on the button. I've attached an example:
