Dev 6.0: How to call System_editor programmatically ?

Hi !
I have a LONG field wich must hold a MSWord documents. In Block
property I set Editor to SYSTEM_EDITOR. Also I set FORMS60_EDITOR
to c:\msoffice\winword.exe. But I can't save the document in
database. Only first chars.
The other question:
how to invoke MS Word by pressing some Button ? I tried to call
execute_trigger('Key-EDIT'), but there is no such one.

  • How to change Enumerator programmatically in LabVIEW called in Teststand

    How to change Enumerator programmatically in LabVIEW called in Teststand ?
    I know that Enumerator cannot be changed programmatically since the data type itself different from other controls like Ring and Combo box. 
    My application  involves in Property loader which will load the list of names to Enumerator during Initialization. And the same shall be used by operator to select in further steps for testing. I tried with Ring and combo box but it doesn't works because its not giving dropdown option in TestStand Steps to select the name.
    I need a drop down and also programmatically changing the value of the same variable. I had gone through all forum solutions regarding Enum, but I couldn't get any work around for this.
    Please suggest me a solution or best work around to do this.
    Thanks,

    Can you provide an example of how a ring control/combo box does not work?  This should be the way to do what you want unless I am misunderstanding exactly what you want to do.  In theory you could have a dynamic enumerator type, but there are lots of hoops to jump through using VI server and scripting and it is not worth the effort.  Aesthetically, you can make the ring control and enumerated data type look exactly the same.  I would be using a ring control.
    Please post an example of how it does not work.

  • How to call a shell script from a java code

    Hello can any one suggest me how to call a shell script from a java program that takes three parameters.
    i have a shell script (msp_restore_gui) when i run this script in the command line in a RHEL5 ,SUSE10 and Debian machine it works fine .I even tested to call it from a java program and it also worked fine but when i used the same in a J2ee application where the user when clicks the restore button in a webserver this inturn sends the request to a java file named BackupManager.java where i call the shell script.But here it fails.Waiting for your suggestions.If you want i can put the code also here

    yes the script is in /usr/local/mss/tools/backup and the script (msp_restore_gui) is as follows

  • How to call same vi for 4 times in a single vi?

    Hi.. I ve one vi named 1D array Mult. I need to call this vi four times in another vi program. The problem i ve experienced is all the four vi outputs are same.
     My question is: How to call the same vi for many number of times?
    Thanks in advance
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    There is no problem (programmatically) with calling the same VI by placing it 4 times onto the block diagram.  You do not have to rename them VI1, VI2, VIn if they all do the same thing, as you have done here with 1D-arrayMult...  It's just messy.
    You may need to make re-entrant in certain cases.
    A better way to do it would of course be to use a For loop as shown (I left what you did in tact).
    Are the two formula nodes identical?  I didn't check.  If so, use a for loop there too.  Build your A and B matrices to a 3D array and auto-index in For loop - single instance of your formula node.
    It is quite concerning what you have done in your 1-D Array VI.  I have no idea what it is supposed to be doing, but it appears to be nothing; it is completely wrong.
    There are backwards wires, your While loop does nothing (there is not shift-register) - how will it Stop?!, your cases 0, 1 and 2 are all the same!  Timer of 1000ms??! hmm..
    If you are trying to multiply two matrices (arrays) together then just use the native LV function to do it and to add them at the end try this:
    Hope this helps you!

  • Forgot how to call a database link in Apex... @linkname not working for me

    Don't have access to my old apps and I can't remember how to call fields from a database link now...
    when i try
    select "TABLE"."DATE" as "Date"
    from "TABLE" "TABLE" @LINKNAME
    I get ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
    Tried CHRISD which is the name of the link, then tried CHRISD.REGRESS.RDBMS.DEV.US.ORACLE.COM which is the entire name.
    Neither one looks right to me but I can't remember the correct syntax for the link name... I remember putting something about userlink in there somewhere but nothing I can think of works.
    anyone?

    select ename from emp@dblink
    ...lose the double quotes.

  • How to call a method of another class ?

    Hello,
    I�d like to know how to call a method of another class. I have to classes (class 1 and class 2), class 1 instantiates an object of class 2 and executes the rest of the method. Later, class 1 has to call a method of class 2, sending a message to do something in the object... Does anybody know how to do that ? Do I have to use interface ? Could you please help me ?

    Can anyone provede me a quick suggestion.
    Thanks in Advance

    DIAdem doesn't have a method to open .chm files because these files are Microsoft help files, rather than DIAdem specific help files. However, there is a KnowledgeBase on Microsoft's web page that may be of help. You can find this document at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=209843. I found this by doing a web search for "Programmatically open .chm". I hope this helps you.

  • How to call a Applet from a servlet and vice versa...?

    Hi all
    Can anyone help me how to call a applet from a servlet and vice versa. When the applet is called it should contact the database (oracle8i) and get the data. When i submit the applet form the data in the applet should be saved in the database.
    Thanks in advance
    Kamalakannan

    Sweep is correct about requestDispatcher being another approach for inter-servlet delegation; the only issue that i recall with this approach is that it defaults the method of the destination servlet to the one it was called from...for example, calling servlet2 from within servlet1.post() resulted in the dispatcher attempting to utilize servlet2.post() - i believe that i searched for a parameterize solution to no avail :( (ended up handling the request by placing a "fake" doPost() in servlet2 that simply called servlet2.doGet())
    however, if your application is functioning correctly on your pc/webserver then the problem may be external to servlet communication (e.g. client webserver's ports not configured or blocked, missing runtime classes, etc.)
    my suggestion would be to set aside the programmatic concerns for the moment - what is the response if you open a browser on a client's machine and access the URL in question (i.e. http://clientserver:port/stefanoServlet)? If it will not respond to access in this manner then it certainly won't when your application calls for it.
    It's possible that there is a coding error but, given the info supplied, i'd start examining the environment, first. Let us know if you have any luck with the test i recommended or not (please provide abundant detail). Or, if you've found the solution then you may want to post back with a quick blub so the next person knows how to escape the trap.

      When you are using quantity or currency fields, you have to mentiong the reference fileds in a tab called CURRENCY/QUANTITY FILEDS in the GLOBAL DATA node.
    Specifying a Currency or Quantity Reference
    Use
    In the ABAP Dictionary, you can assign a currency or quantity field to a table field. In the output of these fields, the system can then insert the relevant currency or unit:
    ·        If the value field is in the same table as the corresponding currency or quantity field, the system recognizes the reference automatically, and formats the value field according to the currency or unit in the assigned field.
    ·        If the value field is in a different table from the currency or quantity field, the system cannot recognize this reference automatically.
    In the second case, you must indicate this reference to the system in the form, to ensure that the value field is formatted correctly.
    Procedure
    You want to assign a currency or quantity field in one table (for example, CURTAB) to a value field in another table (for example, VALTAB).
           1.      Create the reference to the currency field by entering the following values:
    -         Field Name: VALTAB-VALUE, if this is the value field of VALTAB that you want to display.
    -         Reference Field: CURTAB-CURRENCY, which is the currency field of CURTAB.
           2.      Under Data Type, specify whether the data type is a currency or quantity.
    Result
    In the output of the PDF-based print form, the system formats the value field VALTAB-VALUE according to the assigned value in the currency or quantity field of the global variable CURTAB-CURRENCY.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • How do I apply programmatic skins for completely custom drawn components of a Flex library project?

    Hello folks,
    I am looking for best practices advice when (1) creating
    custom components and (2) styling and skinning.
    I already know how to skin a component part of the Flex
    framework. I can make a class extending ProgrammaticSkin and have
    my component skinned using CSS to link the component with the
    reference to my custom class.
    However what about those cases when you are completely
    creating a component from scratch?
    Imagine a "Freehand Drawing Canvas" component that allows the
    user to draw on it and has some buttons to set color styles, line
    styles, etc., or imagine a "Screen Flow Gallery" component that
    displays visual objects in a fashion similar to Cover Flow in the
    Mac.
    In many components I am aware you may reuse other components
    part of the Flex framework but I am trying to picture an scenario
    where you would need to draw everything yourself because there just
    isn't something to base it upon so you will end up drawing it from
    scratch.
    To learn how instead of building one of those components I
    mentioned previously I decided to start with something simple that
    would illustrate this like a LiteButton component that will behave
    just like the Flex mx.controls.Button but will extend UIComponent
    and be completely custom drawn.
    The component will have a default look and will also be
    style-able and skin-able. I will provide styles for users of the
    component to modify and regarding skinning anyone can create a
    custom ProgrammaticSkin adding its own drawing logic and link it to
    the component via CSS with the ClassReference applied to the skin
    selector.
    So far so good and it's clear what I want to achieve. I
    actually know how to do most of the stuff here but I have one
    single problem.
    Here is my question, where should I put my custom drawing
    logic? If I do it in the updateDisplayList inside the class
    extending UIComponent it works, however I thought that it would be
    a better practice to do it using programmatic skins, that way I
    could provide different skin themes for my component set.
    The problem is that I can't make the programmatic work in
    this scenario. I tried instantiating the custom programmatic skin
    during the updateDisplayList of the LiteButton component and adding
    it to my display object via addChild but that didn't do anything. I
    also tried creating a "default.css" stylesheet and tried to use
    ClassReference as I would normally do to skin an already existing
    component (or composite component as well) but that didn't do
    anything either.
    So how do I apply programmatic skins for completely custom
    drawn components of my Flex library project?
    I could do it inside the updateDisplayList of the LiteButton
    class extending UIComponent but again I would like to provide
    different theme sets for my components so it makes sense using
    programmatic skins.

    These aren't mutually exclusive. When you provide a skin with
    a
    TypeSelector, you have to add it to the display list
    somewhere, and this is
    typically done in updateDisplayList or addChildren. I prefer
    to do it in
    updateDisplayList, because you can then change it if the
    style changes.

    Exactly what did you do?

    I've never had any problem using an approach similar to
    this...but I will
    say that I couldn't see any advantage in creating a
    default.css style sheet,
    since it's not really default in the way that the one that
    comes with Flex
    is. It's much more obvious to anyone using your component
    what's going on
    there if you create a style sheet where they're likely to
    spot it.

    It seems like your approach is fine, but maybe you've made a
    mistake in your
    implementation.

    You might want to consider also adding an instance of
    HaloBorder to your
    component. That brings a lot of functionality with it.
