Delete all instances of a button in a project - Captivate 4

Hi there.
It seems that with Captivate 2 (or maybe 3), you could copy a button and paste it on all the rest of the slides in your project. Then if you had to modify that button, you could select it from the Library (memory's fuzzy here, that may not be accurate), then delete it, and it would delete the button from every slide.
With Captivate 4, I don't see any buttons in the Library. It also appears that if I paste a button onto all of my slides, each button is renamed and lives as a separate instance, and it's not just replicas of the original button.
Is this the case?
Basically, I want to delete a button from my project that's been pasted on all of my slides. Without deleting it slide by slide. Can this be done in Captivate 4?
I am aware of persistent buttons available via the Widgets functionality, but that wasn't appropriate for my project in this case.
Thanks,
Tichelle

Here's a way to at least delete all Back buttons in a project at once:
1.    Select Preferences from Edit menu.
2.    In the Category pane on the left side of the Preferences window, select Quiz>Settings.
3.    Under the Settings part of the window, uncheck the box next to “Allow backward movement.”
4.    Click the OK button.
NOTES: • Depending on how many slides are in your project, it can take several seconds to complete the process. The Preferences window will disappear when it has completed removing all Back buttons.
                 • Also, if this doesn’t work for some reason (it didn’t remove the Back buttons from all my slides a couple of times), start by first selecting all slides (from Edit menu or Ctrl+A).

Delete all instance for the BPM process

How can I delete all instances or specific instance of the BPM Process except redeploy the process and unchecked the keep all instance option??

Hi
Just a small correction. When you ReDeploy Workflow SCA file and Uncheck the option to keep running instances, if I am not wrong, all OLD instances are NOT deleted. They just become STALE (change the status). BUT these instances are still there in the Database but not show up in the Worklist/Workspace app. You may see these Tasks but you CANNOT open them and it says like Task Details Not Found etc.
But if your intention is to delete the instances permanently, then see the earlier post on how to delete from EM. This will take care of permanently deleting.
Thanks

Deleting all instances of a link

Hi,
I have a lot of instances of a link spread over a number of pages and I want to delete all of them without having to go to each page, select each one and delete it. I thought there'd be a way using the links pallet such as right clicking the link group and "delete all" but there doens't seem to be.
The links don't have a specific object style applied so I can't (I think) use Find/Change Object.
Is there another way around this?
Thanks in advance.

This version removes frames.

var sel = app.selection[0];

Deleting all instances of a particular composite using scripts

Hi,
I am trying to delete all the instances for a particular composite id in Linux. I got some reference to some script in user guide as below
Deleting Composite Instances, Rejected Messages, and Orphaned Instances
This procedure internally invokes the procedures for deleting composite instances, rejected messages, and orphaned instances. This procedure is convenient for deleting all composite instances, rejected messages, and orphaned instances in a single invocation.
FABRIC.DELETE_ALL(FILTER IN INSTANCE_FILTER,
MAX_INSTANCES IN INTEGER,
PURGE_PARTITIONED_DATA IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT TRUE) RETURN INTEGER;
The following example deletes composite instances, rejected messages, and orphaned instances based on the specified filter.
DECLARE
FILTER INSTANCE_FILTER := INSTANCE_FILTER();
MAX_INSTANCES NUMBER;
DELETED_INSTANCES NUMBER;
BEGIN
FILTER.COMPOSITE_PARTITION_NAME:='default';
FILTER.COMPOSITE_NAME := 'OrderBookingComposite';
FILTER.COMPOSITE_REVISION := '1.0';
FILTER.STATE := fabric.STATE_COMPLETED_SUCCESSFULLY;
FILTER.MIN_CREATED_DATE := to_timestamp('2009-07-01','YYYY-MM-DD');
FILTER.MAX_CREATED_DATE := to_timestamp('2009-08-24','YYYY-MM-DD');
MAX_INSTANCES := 100;
DELETED_INSTANCES := FABRIC.DELETE_ALL(
FILTER => FILTER,
MAX_INSTANCES => MAX_INSTANCES
END;
But how do I use it. Should I just run @purge_fabric_oracle.sql and will it prompt for parameters. Also Is this the right script to delete all the instances.
Regards

For deletion scripts I am particularly cautious. I want to delete all the instances for a particular composite id. How do I get the composite id. ProcessData [1.0] is shown in the EM under the soa application tree. Is it the composite id.
Thanks

To delete all instances of a particular bpel process using java APIs

Hi,
Which classes and methods are used for bulk instances deletion of BPEL process using APIs.

Iam using this code for deleting instances in bulk,

BPELProcessId processId1 = new BPELProcessId("default","DBTest","1.0");
domainHandle.deleteInstancesByProcessId(processId1);
but iam getting Eceptions like
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Exception: Error deserializing return-value: java.io.InvalidClassException: com.oracle.bpel.client.BPELDomainHandle; local class incompatible: stream classdesc serialVersionUID = -6384534326625967840, local class serialVersionUID = -8310067783665200608
Iam able to delete instances one by one using this code,
------------------- basic code-----------
IInstanceHandle instance_handle[];
instance_handle= locator.listInstances(wc);
for(int x = 0; x< instance_handle.length; x++){

But i want to delete instances in bulk,not one by one.Can you help me out in this.

Anyone tell me how delete the "delete all topics" button ?

Hello,
I created a new KM Discussions iView , At this iView there is a delete all topics button. Clearly, I don't want to allow users to delete other people posts, not talking about all the posts. So, I need to remove this button.How do I do that?
Perhaps I need to define this user as a participant and not as a moderator. How do I do that?
First I must emphasize the fact that I dont need KM Discussion Groups iview .
Now,I created a sub folders A under the Discussions folders in KM Content, and created a KM Discussion iview to link to this folder .I give read permissions on the folder A to a test user that I don't want him to see the delete button. But when the user enter the iview,he still have this button.
I find a bizarrerie phenomenon.If I created a KM navigation iview using this folder A. Then when the user enter the iview,he choose the details > collaboration > discussion, this button delete all topics is not exist.Although The this way is effective,but I need user open the discussions interface by entering the KM discussion iview directly .
Please tell me what should I do?
Regards!
lexian

Hello:
Karin
you say I don't know which LayoutSet I am using.
I want to say that I ues the KM discussions iview,but this iview has not layoutset.I can't find the LayoutSet in the Properties set.
I know that if the user does have the appropriate permissions he is not able to delete discussions.
But I still can' find the LayoutSet of the KM discussions iview.

Button to delete all empty rows

I am in the process of creating an interactive form that has a button that add rows for the user to input issues and another button to add follow-ups to those instances. There are 3 different sets of these. However, we do not want to add a delete button to all rows, to allow for accidental deletion of already inputted data. I would like to create a button that will delete all empty rows, including all subforms. Either that, or upon saving the document, all empty rows would be deleted - whichever would be easier. Please help! This seems like it will be a complicated task and I am not that well versed in LiveCycle to be able to figure this out on my own.
Thank you!

There is no doubt that looping through nested repeating objects is more complex:
Here is the script for the first table with follow-up rows:
// Technical
var nCount3 = VitalsSubform.Technical._Instance1.count;
for (var k=0; k<nCount3; k++)
 // this is script to remove the follow-up rows in the first table only
 var nCount6 = xfa.resolveNode("VitalsSubform.Technical.Instance1[" + k + "]").Table1._Row1.count;
 // loop through the rows in the follow-up table
 for (var i=0; i<nCount6; i++)
 if (xfa.resolveNode("VitalsSubform.Technical.Instance1[" + k + "].Table1.Row1[" + i + "]").Cell4.rawValue == null)
 // remove null row
 xfa.resolveNode("VitalsSubform.Technical.Instance1[" + k + "]").Table1._Row1.removeInstance(i);
 // recount nCount in case a row has been deleted
 nCount6 =xfa.resolveNode("VitalsSubform.Technical.Instance1[" + k + "]").Table1._Row1.count;
 // account for the row that is now deleted
 i = i-1;
 // now remove null statements
 if (xfa.resolveNode("VitalsSubform.Technical.Instance1[" + k + "]").Table1.Statement.Statement.rawValue == null)
 VitalsSubform.Technical._Instance1.removeInstance(k);
 var nCount3 = VitalsSubform.Technical._Instance1.count;
 k = k-1;
It is by no means tested and could still be flaky.
Have you considered a manual 'x'/delete button for the follow-up rows?

On an iPad with iTunes, do you know if you can edit/delete all your tunes on your device with a "clear all" button rather than having to delete a song one by one like you have to do on an iPhone if not synching via a MacBook/ PC with iTunes account?

I'm signed up to the Cloud and itunes match - the whole game. But I cam getting annoyed with having to delete songs one by one on my iPhone once dowloaded from the cloud as I only have a 16GB phone....yes I listen to music non-stop! So, I am thinking about getting an iPAD as I rarely use my MacBook Pro for anything other than surfing and music now... so the question is: "On an iPad with iTunes, do you know if you can edit/delete all your tunes on your device with a "clear all" button rather than having to delete a song one by one like you have to do on an iPhone (if not synching via a MacBook/ PC with iTunes account where I know you can clear down and refill with ease)????

Have you tried

I have Iphone 5 and have an issue with deleting part of the messages in Imessage conversation. The trash button is not displayed to delete part of the imessage. I see only delete all option. Is it a bug?

I have Iphone 5 and have an issue with deleting part of the messages in Imessage conversation. The trash button is not displayed to delete part of the imessage. I see only delete all option. Is it a bug?

Hi An Iphone user,
If you are having issues deleting a specific message from an iMessage conversation (not seeing the Trash icon), you may want to double-check that you are following the steps outlined in the following article:
How do I delete a message?
To delete a message, tap and hold the message bubble, then tap More.
Tap Delete All to delete all the messages. Or tap to select the messages you want to delete, then tap .
After you delete a message, you can recover it only by restoring from a backup.
Send messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

App or "button" to delete all currently open apps

I was wandering if there was an app or button that we could press to delete all of the open apps in the background rather than having to press them one at a time. I am sure this is an Apple software development issue but wandered if anyone has any ideas. I have seen it on one of the other smartphones.

There are no apps or buttons to do this & further, it's not really necessary to do so. Read here to understand the multitasking bar:

Why wont apple put a delete all button for your email?? i think that should be the next update.

we need to be able to delete all messages at once, say someone has 1500 emails there not going to want to go 1 by 1, there should be a delete all button an except button and then another except to make sure if they really want to delete it they can.

Why won't the delete all photos button work

I press this button to delete all my photos but it doesn't do anything. Is it a new feature in iOS6? Is it buggy? Is it just there but not functional? It doesnt do anything after I press it (it doesnt delete all photos). Delete all music does work though
Does delete all photos work for you guys?

If you have Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution. If you would like to try perfect Virtual Button, tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock. You can even turn iPhone OFF with this button. To turn iPhone ON, connect iPhone to power ie charger or USB of computer.

Is there a delete all mail button?

The thing is basically I am too lazy to go through all probably 1000 or way more of my mail and it takes WAY to much time. Check my mail box, there's tons of mail in it. The question is, is there a "Delete All Mail" button that you can press? If not then is Apple able to if they are, please add it. Thanks!

No, there is no delete all button.
Note that this is a user forum; you aren't talking to Apple.
If you wish to suggest this to Apple use http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
