Custom dialog window tools list.

Does anyone have, or know where to find a list of all the usable tools for a custom dialog window? By tools, I mean the code for putting in the various interactive parts available for custom interfaces, such as checkboxes, text input, etc. I know how to do the checkboxes, radio buttons, text, and buttons, but that's about it so far, and I would think there is much more than that available. Anyway, if anyone knows where I could find a list of the available tools and could point me to it, it would be much appreciated.

Open list form across host header site collections via Modal Dialog window

Hello, I have a web application that has two host header site collections in it. When a user is on Host Header A, I need to open a list's display form that's located on Host Header B. I'm using the JS function SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options)
to open a dialog window to the host header B list's display form. It loads and shows all the columns, but there are a couple issues.
1) The scroll bar on the dialog window is not active (can't scroll up or down to see all the columns). This is an issue on all browsers (IE 8 &9, Chrome, FF)
2) In IE, the SP ribbon does not display. In Chrome and FF the ribbon does display and the buttons work fine.
There's no errors in the ULS logs, and if I use IE8, there's a JavaScript "Access Denied" error. I've confirmed the user account has permissions on both sites & list.
My first thought had to do with anonymous access being turned on at the web application level (not the site level) and the credentials not being passed to the new site collection. But this isn't the case because in Chrome, the ribbon shows and the
buttons are security trimmed correctly based on the users permissions. So I know the credentials are getting passed through the dialog window. And when I use the "Edit' button on the ribbon in chrome, it opens a new dialog window and everything
works correctly (Scroll bar and ribbon).
Has anybody been able to successfully open a list form across two separate host header site collections?

I ended up getting around the cross site collection in the modal window issue by using a custom ASPX page that works as a redirect using JS.
The link the end user clicks pops open the aspx page in a dialog window. I then pull the URL of the list item I want to open from the URL and have JS open that form in the modal window. The key seems to be to open the redirect aspx page under
the same site collection as the list item you want to view.
Here's the JS that's in the aspx page.
<script type="text/javascript">
// We name the current dialog windown
window.name = "newSiteWindow";
// wait until we know the the JS lib is loaded
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(loadNewSite, "sp.js");
function loadNewSite() {
//grab the list item URL from the URL of the dialog window using a pre created function
newURL = GetUrlParmByName("listItem");
//append our dlg query to the end so everything displays correctly. If you do not use IsDlg=0, the ribbon does not display and the window will not scroll.
newURL = newURL + "&IsDlg=0";
//use the current window to open the list item we want to go to.
window.open(newURL, "newSiteWindow");
</script>

Save As & Open Dialog Window for some documents hangs when custom VSTO plugin is installed

Hello,
I have created a VSTO application which uploads a word document to Document Management Server. The problem is not with this plugin, but after the plugin is installed, for certain documents when user makes some modification to the document and clicks on File
-> Save As or File ->Open, the Save As/Open Dialog window, does not show up and the Word application will be hung (spinning) as it should do if the Save As dialog window would have been shown. The only option is then to kill the WinWord process
from Task Manager. When I kill the WinWord process from task manager, I see the Save As Dialog window appear for a split second before the WinWord Process shuts down.
If I uninstall the VSTO application, everything works fine.
Details on the application:
Target Framework: .NET Framework 4
Platform Target: x86
OS (Developer and End User): Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64 bit
Microsoft Office: Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 Version: 14.0.6129.5000 (32-bit)

Hi Eugene,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes I have tried an empty add-in project as well. Added a label to the ribbon and displayed a static text. I am able to reproduce the issue with this add-in as well. The issue is only reproducable if I deploy the add-in using a setup and deployment project.
While building the project, Visual Studio installs the add-in by default. If I open the problematic documents with the "developement" version of the add-in installed, it seems to be working fine.

Yogesh

Since it could be reproduced if you deploy any add-in with a setup project, it seems this issue may be related to the your environment.
It will be helpful if you could share the following information with us.
The configuration about that setup project and your add-in.
Whether your user account has admin privilege or not.
To narrow down this issue, you could consider installing that add-in with setup project in a clean machine.
If it could reproduce this issue, then we could focus on that setup project instead.
If not, then we'd better focus on your environment to narrow down this issue.

Remote Custom Dialog Crashes (Subscription Success Window)

Hi everyone,
I'm having a bug for a very long time, which I can't seem to be able to solve or understand, where it comes from.
In Viewer Builder there is this field:
Optional Remote Custom Dialog URL
This URL loads when the customer completes the subscription process. For example, you can request user information or provide additional details about your products.
When I fill this with a URL on my publications marketing page, it's pretty sure, what happens: When a user subscribes to my publication this window appears after the subscription process is finished.
The problem is, that with every App I built for the last months, the App always stops at this window showing the content of the given url, but with no possibilty to leave this window. There is no "Finished" button whatsoever and no way to get back to the library. The only way to leave the window is by killing the App through task manager.
Does any one else encounter this problem? The only solution is to keep the field empty in Viewer Builder and not showing a success window to the customer (though having no ability to ask him or her for his or her contact data).
Does the URL one states in this field have to fullfill special features (like a a callback of some kind?)
Thanks very much in advance,
Richard

Open File dialog window when setting the value of a path type input argument in a VI call

Hi,
I am new to TestStand (running 4.0) and I want to create a sequence of VIs to turn on, setup and measure a device. One of my VIs sends a configuration file to my device. An input argument to this VI is the path of the config file. I would like to make it simple to modify this path when setting up the sequence by popping up the File Open dialog window and choose my file. Is this possible? I do not want to manually change the file during execution, just to have multiple calls of one VI, each call opening a different file according to the path given to it during the setup.
So far I have only succeeded in manually entering the absolute path each time I add this step. What makes it even more annoying is the fact that LabVIEW interprets the path with the escape codes, rendering the path unusable. Manually adding a 2nd backslash at each '\' occurence adds another step to the process. I tried both String and Path type of inputs, and the SearchandReplace() or ToUpper() (trying to bypass the escape codes) functions in TestStand don't seem to help m.
Your help is very much appreciated,
Fred

Eudaemonic,
If you want to create a series of easy to configure step types so others can develop sequence files easily, you could use custom step types. When you create a custom step type you implement your own configuration dialog. Since you have control over what controls you expose in your configuration dialog, you can design it so the desired path is selected using a open file dialog. Refer to chapter 13 of the TestStand reference manual for more information about custom step types.
If you do not want to create a custom step type but you still want to give access to your sequence developers to pre-configured steps, you can use templates. A step template is a snapshot of a step that you can reuse later. Let's assume that instead of asking your users to edit the step to enter the desired path, you create several step templates with different pre-configured paths and based on their applications requirements they could use the appropriate template. Refer to the NI TestStand Help for more information about the Templates list on the Insertion Palette.
Hope it helps.

Custom Dialog Box Question

I have a custom dialog box that uses both radio buttons and edit_text fields. What I am trying to do is make so that when a certain radio is selected the edit_text field will be filled with a suggested answer. Is that possible and how could it be done?

Yes, data is acquired from fields with the "dialog.store()" function and loaded with the "dialog.load()" function. Say that one radio button is named "Rad1" and the text box is named "Txt1". Then this code represents the action script for the radio button, it places "New Text" into the the text field.
"Rad1":function(dialog){
    var rslt = dialog.store();
    if(rslt["Rad1"])
        dialog.load({"Txt1": "New Text"});
The Action script is a member of the dialog object. You can see examples of how this can be build by downloading a trial version of AcroDialogs, which will build the correct JavaScript code for adding an action to a radio button.

Image preview in Open dialog window (Photoshop CS6)

Hi
We had a possibility to see images preview in Open File dialog window of Photoshop CS5 but in new CS6 version there is not such possibility. Should I forget about that nice option and use Mini Bridge?

I'm not so sure it was on purpose or not Noel. Especially since it's still there in Illustrator and Indesign. If it weren't for it being in those, I might think it was intentional. Then again, it could very well be Adobe trying really hard to push MiniBridge, which is almost utterly useless. I think they actually made the minibridge WORSE as well. The sizing issues of the thumbnails on that are a pain and minibridge is just plain cumbersome to run. Anyways, besides my many qualms with minibridge itself, and back on the open dialog box thing...I actually watched a youtube video pointing out the same codecs you're talking about and without the PSD functionality, it's pretty useless. I'm a graphic designer, so I don't really use PS for camera image editing and don't mess with those files that the codec helps with. Even if it did, that still isn't very helpful to me. Because at that point, you're pretty much just doing what Bridge/MIniBridge does. However, consider how I, and many other designers in the print field work: At any given point we might have something like 3 different versions of a file; a PSD (with layers to edit), a JPEG (to send to the customer for proofing), and a PDF (for printing). Now, within that customer folder I might have 50+ files of different jobs. Imagine trying to sift through all those thumbnails, scrolling across window upon window, and when you get to the file you're finally looking for, you click it open to just to see that you opened the jpeg instead of the PSD. Now, in LIST view, I can see many more files on one screen and each file type is represented by an icon. So I know the blue icons are Photoshop icons and it's very easy to skim through there and know exactly which file type I'm looking for without peering at extensions. Get what I'm saying? Not that I don't appreciate you trying to help. Just saying, unless any codec can bring back the preview screen....than I don't see a workaround until Adobe flat out FIXES IT. I'm one of those guys that loves to get the newest thing and give it time to work, but if they don't fix it, I might have to call up Adobe and demand a downgrade on my Photoshop to 5.5, cause it really slows my workflow when I have hundreds of files to keep up with, and any new feature in PS CS6 that might have sped up my work is offset by not being able to do such a remedial task as preview my files before opening them.

How can I disable the "create custom shape" window?

When I'm using the custom shape tool in CS6, it will often bring up a new window labeled "create custom shape". It's really disruptive and I'd like to know how I can disable it to prevent it from poping up.

OK I can now get the dialog window to pop up with a single click in a document with my mouse or intuos tablet. I had never seen that popup. Under normal conditions with the mouse I use and my old Intuos 2 now replaced with an Intuos 5 with default sensitivity setting I never saw that popup. Now that I know it exists and how to get it I can pop it up. Try changing your Wacom feel perhaps your getting extra single clicks.

Using a dialog window to select a name and directory to save the file

Hi there
I have a problem with the FILE_SAVE_DIALOG method or better with the windows that will be shown.
Before I save a file (e.g. PDF file) on the presentation server (the PC), I want to open a dialog window to have the option to give another directory and file name, under which I will save the file.
Therefore I use the method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG. I found many information about this FILE_SAVE_DIALOG in this forum, but these tips didn't satisfy me.
The main problem is the FILE_FILTER. How to use this filter (is it a STRING?) properly, when I want to have a list in the dialog window? Nothing worked till now.
I use ERP 2005 with JAVA 1.4.1-07.
My Code:
DATA: fileName         TYPE STRING,
      path             TYPE STRING,
      workdir          TYPE STRING,
      user_action      TYPE I,
      encoding         TYPE ABAP_ENCODING.
    fileName = I_FILENAME.
    path = I_PATH.
    CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG
       EXPORTING
         WINDOW_TITLE         = 'Save Adobe PDF file'
*         WITH_ENCODING        = 'X'
         INITIAL_DIRECTORY    = workdir
*         DEFAULT_EXTENSION    = '*.pdf'
         DEFAULT_FILE_NAME    = fileName
         FILE_FILTER          = '*.pdf'
         PROMPT_ON_OVERWRITE = 'X'
      CHANGING
         FILENAME             = fileName
         PATH                 = path
         FULLPATH             = fullpath
         USER_ACTION          = user_action
         FILE_ENCODING        = encoding
      EXCEPTIONS
         CNTL_ERROR           = 1
         ERROR_NO_GUI         = 2
         NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI = 3
         others               = 4.
    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
    IF user_action <> CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>ACTION_OK.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
When I call this method with these parameters, I get the dialog window, but there is no filtering for PDFs.
I also tried the ideas with:
FILE_FILTER = 'Adobe files (*.pdf)|(*.pdf)'
and so on. But nothing made the dialog window work properly, even the selection list didn't show the right content to select.
Who can help with this method SAVE_FILE_DIALOG?
Thanks

Save As Dialog Window Size Problem

I'm having an issue with the Save As and Save Linked File As dialog windows. When using the expanded dialog window, the sides and bottom of the window extend beyond the edges of my screen.
Thus the New Folder, Cancel, and Save buttons are cut off and all I can see is the very top of each button and none of the button text.
I can't resize the window manually because the bottom right corner isn't visible. I also tried clicking the green Zoom button to no avail.
How can I get this window to size properly?

Hi CW3X,
I think those settings are saved in Safari's property list file. Opening that file in either Property List Editor or TextEdit and scrolling through the entries highlights a cluster of "NSPanelExpandedSizeForSaveMode" strings, which look like they may be relevant.
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
If you're not comfortable editing the file manually, you can try moving the .plist file to your Desktop and restarting Safari. Hopefully everything will return to normal.

How to get the list of database Views modifying the DB tools list tables.vi

Hi,
I have a problem, I just started using LabVIEW and in particular the LabVIEW connectivity toolkit and I am lookig fgor suggestion regarding how to get the list of database Views modifying the DB tools list tables.vi...
Thanks in advance,
Michela

Hi Michela,
since the VI you want to modify is part of a Toolkit, I suggest you to copy the whole block diagram in a new VI and then save it in a new location.
Place the DB List Tables.vi on a block diagram, double click on it and go to the tab "Window -> Show Block Diagram "
Select "Edit -> Select All" to select the whole block diagram and select "Edit -> Copy"
Open a new VI and select "Edit -> Paste"
Save the new VI
In this way you can modify everything you want without overwriting the Toolkits VIs.
Hope this can help.

When printing Firefox does not open the Print Dialog window

When printing at our office we often need to print to multiple printers and not just the default printer. When printing in Firefox, however, the print automatically gets sent to the default printer and I do not get a print dialog window. I have reset Firefox's printer options, changed the prefs.js file, and launched Firefox from safe mode to check if an add-on is affecting printing - all to no avail. When I print from Chrome, or (shudder) Internet Explorer I get a dialog box giving me printer options. Your help and responses will be appreciated.

There is a hidden preference to bypass the dialog, but it definitely is not set by default. To check for that:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''print.''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If you discover a preference named '''print.always_print_silent''' there's your trouble.
Next question would be, where did it come from?! Some possibilities:
(A) A user.js file that overrides prefs.js at startup. See: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
(B) A lock file in the program folder. See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences

Problem in displaying customized flex window.

Hi I've created a customized settings sub-window, with an AIR application and facing a problem in displaying it more than one time from the application, i.e for the first time i select option from context menu then the settings window is displayed but if i try for the second time it doesn't come again. The code is attached for the called function where 'toastWindow_2' is the refrence for customized settings window:
public function showOptionwindow(event:ContextMenuEvent):void
                var check_label:String = event.currentTarget.label;
                var toastWindow_2:options_db = new options_db();
                toastWindow_2.open();
                if (check_label=='List videos'){
            toastWindow_2.settings_windowtab.selectedIndex=1;
                else if (check_label=='Feedback'){
            toastWindow_2.settings_windowtab.selectedIndex=2;
                else if(check_label=='Settings'){
            toastWindow_2.settings_windowtab.selectedIndex=0;
Please suggest the solution asap; Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
A fast suggestion would be to use the debugger and see what's happening. Note down the stuff that is changed when you first click the button and the window opens and see if the stuff is the same the second time ( or if the method is even triggered ). In such situations, the debugger is your best friend.
With best regards,

Sam,
It may be time for the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
