Drag and Drop to DataSet Schema Designer?

I don't seem to be able to drag and drop a table from the Oracle Explorer to the DataSet designer in Visual Studio 2005 (to automate creation of table adapters, relationships,etc.) ..> I downloaded and installed the new release version (I was previously using beta) and it is still not allowing this functionality, is this functionality supported?

I believe that this is not supported. However, you can drag a table from the oracle explorer onto a form which will result in the creation of a dataadapter. If you then right-click on the adapter and choose generate dataset then this will cause a typed dataset to be generated which can then be used as a datasource.

Hi
I am new to Oracle but not to VS. I have downloaded and installed the newest tools for Developer, having first tried the install for VS2003.net (which refused to install on my VS 2005.) I got the beta download and installed it, but my oracle explorer shows nothing. Any attempt to add a connection results in an error ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adaptor error. I had the full install of 10g r2 on my notebook, but removed it and opted for the XE version. I removed the Oracle_Home environment variable prior to installing XE. I am trying to connect to the HR database, and the account is unlocked. I saw a reference to the tnsfiles file, and that seems to be the problem, but I don't know what to do about it. Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer help.

Drag and drop functionality of a LiveCycle designed form

I have done a fair amount of searching on the forums to try and solve this problem but have been unable to find an answer.
We have for years and years been using Adobe Acrobat 8 and associated LiveCycle suite. We have a few forms designed in LiveCycle that, once reader enabled, were able to be filled out and then "drag and drop"'d into regular PDF files. An entire system has been created out of this function.
We recently, in the last few days, upgraded the entire Adobe software suite on our server to X level. Since the upgrade, we have been unable to "drag and drop" any of our Livecycle forms in to any PDF files. We are receiving this message:
"You cannot insert pages from an Adobe XML form into another PDF file. To include Adobe XML forms with other PDF files, please use the following menu option: Document > Attach a File"
The problem is, we don't want to attached the file as a separate document. We need it in a specific place within the PDF document, not as an outside document.
This has worked for multiple years prior to our adobe upgrade, so I know it is possible.
Adobe Guru's, what I am missing?

The sample PDF you sent me that got converted to an Acroform did not include any calculation scripts. I'd be interested in seeing a sample XFA that got converted to an Acroform that retains the calculations. The scripting object models are so different that I would be suprised if anything worked even if the scripts were retained, which I doubt. There certainly isn't an automatic conversion form FormCalc or XFA-based JavaScript to something compatible with Acrobat-based JavaScript. Note that when you import an Acroform with scripting into Designer that all scripts are commented out because they cannot work in the different environment.
I don't know of a way other than what you have already used. As mentioned in the other discussion I linked to, it may no longer be possible even with low-level tools (e.g., PDF CanOpener) that can manipulate the PDF content.
Livecycle versatility is what stole u away from the acrobat forms "document conversion autoform".
I'm not sure what you mean by this. I prefer to work in Acrobat to create PDF forms, but I realize a lot of people enjoy working with Designer. Many types of changes can be made quickly in Acrobat, but I'm not aware of a design environment that's more like Designer but for Acroforms. I'm not trying to change your mind about which is better, but if you ultimately require Acroforms (because XFA cannot be inserted into a normal PDF), then you need to look somewhere other than Designer.
The bug exists in Acrobat 9, but when I try it none of the scripting or actions are included. I haven't bothered to test with Acrobat 10 or 11 yet, but it looks like you already have. So one answer would be to use a version of Acrobat that allows this.

Drag and Drop Photos in Design View?

Hey all,
I feel like I'm going insane! I've used Dreamweaver for probably a decade now and the latest CC won't allow me to drop pictures into design view? I'm using MAC OSX Mavericks. Has this been disabled somehow?

Hi,
quoting from http://forums.adobe.com/message/5445040#5445040 (5. webdevandy): "drag and drop has always been available in Code View AND Design View. This ability was removed in Code View from a later build of CS6 CC. Design View still has drag and drop."
In my view it is to add:
1. You have to store/save your file first. (see screenshot of my German DW) > click OK.
2. You have to store/save your image into your rootfolder, DW "invites you to do this (see screenshot of my German DW). Click OK.
and behold, now your image appears.
Good luck!
Hans-Günter
P.S.
Since I can work with two screens I can store my images on my desktop too.

Designing a Drag-and-Drop Template using InDesign

Hi,
Please forgive my naivity here - I have just been handed a project for which I am completely unqualified, and am hoping for your help!
I need to design an advertising booklet (folded A4 - i.e. each page being A5) to go out each month. Our customers will submit their adverts to us in various formats (single slot, double slot, half page, full page, etc, etc).
My aim is to create a template for this so that, each month, I just need to drag and drop the adverts as they arrive, into set fields on the page, so that I don't have to worry about page layout, bleeding, etc.
My boss has handed me a copy of InDesign CS5, and instructed me to see what I can do...
So, firstly: is it possible to do what I'm trying to do?
If not, what would your collective minds suggest is the best idea?
If so, how do I do it? Are there tutorials online that I can follow through? If not, can someone instruct me on how to get started?
Your assistance is appreciated!
AJ

First place to start with InDesign is this book: http://amzn.to/biUyIZ
You can also check out Lynda.com. For $25/month you can't beat it.
That said, yes, what you want to do can be done by creating a template, but you'll need to give your clients very specific instructions on how to create the PDFs that you'll want to drop into your book.
One last suggestion, have a talk your boss about expectations. Buying InDesign doesn't make you a designer and more than going to Home Depot and buying tools will make you a carpenter. Learning ID will take some time.
FWIW, I do offer remote training sessions, if you boss is so inclined to pay for it. You can find my contact info on my website, www.theindesignguy.com

How to design a drag and drop between to containment references

Hello,
Can someone help me to desgin a drag and drop between two containment references shared by the same container ?
I want two design this DND between two views : each is displaying one of the two references.
I've tried to use for the target view an EditingDomainDropAdapter with generated item providers. But it is considering the two references as children features for the dragged element and the drop can then be done in the wrong reference.
I've also tried to override generated item providers two only consider the reference viewed in the target view. But in this case the drag and drop command cannot execute because no parent is found for the dragged element.
I've considered too put the item providers adapter factory of the source view in the dragged data, and design an EditingDomainDropAdatper using this factory for building the drag part of the drag an drop command. But it seems to be a big a job...
So I prefer to ask your help to find the wright design for my need.
Best regards,
Laurent

How did you achieve that result? By modifying the item provider's
getChildrenFeatures(Object)?

Yes,
org.eclipse.emf.edit.provider.ItemProviderAdapter.getChildFeature(Object, Object)
does that. That's why I ask how you specialized it to show only one of
the features, because if you did it by specializing what's returned by
getChildrenFeatures it should only consider the one reference, and not
both...

I'm not sure specifically what you did, but getChildFeature should
return your desired target feature...

Seems not necessary. I imagine each view has its own specialized item
provider, each returning the desired feature for getChildrenFeatures,
and that all else should just work as a result.

Drag and Drop (re-order) Thumbnails in Organizer

I am using Photoshop Elements version 5.0.2
I would like to re-order pictures in an order that will make sense for me in my business. I suppose I can go through each pix and change the time on them, so I can then sort by time stamp.
Is there an easier way to do this? I was hopeful that I could drag and drop them in Thumbnail view - but I cannot.
Thank you,
Jamie

>Is there anyway to delete the photos in the main well, without losing them from my collection?
As I understand the design, the main well is intended to be all the photos that you are managing with Photoshop Elements.
Collections are used to display a specific group of those photos in your chosen sequence for any given activity.
I suspect that since you are using a consumer product such as Photoshop Elements for your business purpose, you may need to make some compromises like having a default (the main photo well) display sequence which you see first when starting PSE that is not what you would choose.
This is not bad if PSE does what you want - just additional steps to switch to the Collection view and also to maintain (drag and drop) the sequencing of the collection when you add additional photo files to a Collection.

Problems with ListViews Drag and Drop

I'm surprised that there isn't an Active X control that can do this more
easily? Would
be curious to find out if there is - although we aren't really embracing the
use of
them within Forte because it locks you into the Microsoft arena.

Subject: Problems with ListViews Drag and Drop
I am just curious as to other people's experiences with the ListView
widget when elements in it are set to be draggable. In particular, I am
currently trying to design an interface that looks a lot like Windows
Explorer where a TreeView resides on the left side of the window and a
ListView resides on the right side. Upon double clicking on the
ListView, if the current node that was clicked on was a folder, then the
TreeView expands this folder and the contents are then displayed in the
ListView, otherwise, it was a file and it is brought up in Microsoft
Word. All this works great if I don't have the elements in the ListView
widget set to be draggable. If they are set to be draggable, then I am
finding that the DoubleClick event seems to get registered twice along
with the ObjectDrop event. This is not good because if I double click
and the current node is a folder, then it will expand this folder in the
TreeView, display the contents in the ListView, grab the node that is
now displayed where that node used to be displayed and run the events
for that as well. What this means, is that if this is a file, then Word
is just launched and no big deal. Unfortunately, if this happens to be
another directory, then the previous directory is dropped into this
current directory and a recursive copy gets performed, giving me one
heck of a deep directory tree for that folder.
Has anybody else seen this, or am I the only lucky one to experience.
If need be, I do have this exported in a .pex file if anybody needs to
look at it more closely.
Thanks in advance.

Illustrator Default PDF, if open in Acro Pro, drag and drop other .ai files, will they also....

Hi! I'm trying to archive (for myself and others for easy access) about 50 fairly complex .ai files in a single Illustrator Default PDF and maintain editability and preserve layer and grouping integrity for every separate file, and, i'm probably going to have to do this hundreds of times (at least!) in the future. Once i save the initial first pdf file through Illustrator (wish didn't even have to do this, but seems no way to do in Bridge), then open the resulting pdf w Acrobat Pro, can i then just select an entire folder's worth of ai files in Bridge, drag and drop them into the pages panel and still have the dragged and dropped files also preserve all their AI info and layer/ group integrity? An if not, thinking if not based on 20 similar experiments, what's a fast way to do this. Doing this manually each time: opening each file in AI then saving as AI pdf, then combining and arranging them all after the fact, would be, well, fairly effed in terms of time, carpal tunnel, arthritis etc. Experimented w Bridge PDF Output batching (terrible rasterized lo-res results, but great for its intended purpose) and just dragging and dropping into Acrobat (lose complicated layer names and info, all flattened to single layer). Any help most appreciated, and as i do not have regular access to das interwebs (i live on a boat) would appreciate and heed gentle admonishment if i've misposted or broached any community etiquette here. I've researched this as well as i can but can't find anything efficient/ elegant not involving InDesign, and even then the details are skimpy. Thank You! Getting mentally exhausted and not a little loopy. Keep in mind had to teach myself both Illustrator, Acrobat etc with access to the very limited offline help menus (the boat), so a complex answer involving learning InDesign would be learning curve can't even imagine with everything else struggling to do. But if you're willing to babystep diagram it out for me or can find me a link that does i will not only be eternally grateful but will do my durndest to master it and pass it on....Thanks Again! lil mc szpf
PS If it helps I'm running the diligent dogged dusty beloved workhorse CS4 Design Premium on 27" monitor 2010 Mac (OS X 10.6.8), and took advantage of rare housesitting net access to install all most recent updates of everything, i'm barely competent w AI, PS, BR and been tackling Acrobat for past couple of months now....

im glad that somebody is atleast trying. perhaps i need to be more clear.
i will step by step describe the issue in detail.
1) i open an email that contains an attachment .dxf or .pdf
2) i click on the attachment shown in the email and aprompt comes up asking if i want to open or save the attachment.
3) i select save. (by default it saves to a downloads folder. but i have also chosen to use other folders (when i did that it wouldnt save them)
4) i highlight the downloads arrow on the right top side of my browser and click it
5) it pulls down a list of the files that i USED to be able to click and drag onto my destop, or anyplace i chose
6) used to be when i clicked and held the left mouse button down on top of a file of my choosing it would highlight and as i began to drag, a ghost image would appear of the file i was dragging. showing a (/) symbol next to it showing i couldnt drop the file within the browser and a + simbol showing that i could drop the file when the file was hovering over a place where i could drop the file such as my desktop or other folder. now, when i click and hold on the file.... I DONT get anything. when i drag. nothing follows. while i am "dragging" in the area that is my browser, i get the pointy finger icon. as soon as i enter an area where i could have dropped the file as before, i get my standard cursor arrow.
its really as if the drag and drop feature just dosent work IN FIREFOX.
i can drag and drop files all day long everyplace else.

Can you use a custom cursor with drag and drop?

Hi there! I'm a newbie flash user and working on a simulation for a graduate course in instructional design. I'm using Flash Professional CC on Mac. Here's what I'm trying to do. I have several draggable sprites on the stage and three target sprites. I have specified the original x,y locations of the sprites and have set the end x,y locations as those of each of the three targets. Items must be dragged to one of the three targets.
Some questions:
1. Can I specify more than one End x,y location for a draggable sprite? I'm creating a lesson to teach kindergartners how to sort lunchroom waste. If they have a napkin, for example, it could either go into the compost OR into the recycling. In cases like this where an item could really be placed into more than one bin, I want them to get it right if they do either of those things, rather than forcing them to choose which one.
2. To make my project more "fun" for kids, I wanted to customize the cursor with a graphic of hand. When I tried this in the flash file it works perfectly until I add the drag and drop functionality for the wasted items. Then the cursor will more around but not pick up any items. Once I revert back to the standard pointer, the correct drag and drop functionality is restored.
3. I have it set to snap back to the original location if learner attempts to drop the item on the wrong target. I want to be able to play a sound file when that happens, as well as play a sound file when it lands on the correct target, as well as shrink the item and change its opacity so that it appears invisible. I want to give the illusion of it being placed into the bin. I have no idea as to the proper way to code these events so that they happen.
4. I've watched dozens of hours of youtube tutorials before coming here. I'm a quick study, but am very new to action script. In one of the videos the developer showed referencing an external action script file which I don't think is an option in CC. The coding method he used seemed much more streamlined and "clean" than the chunks I'm working with now. Is there an easy way for me to code information about these objects than the way I've got it here now? I hate starting new things with bad habits. The perils of self-teaching.
Thanks!

Some questions:
1. Can I specify more than one End x,y location for a draggable sprite?
yes, use an if-else statement
I'm creating a lesson to teach kindergartners how to sort lunchroom waste. If they have a napkin, for example, it could either go into the compost OR into the recycling. In cases like this where an item could really be placed into more than one bin, I want them to get it right if they do either of those things, rather than forcing them to choose which one.
2. To make my project more "fun" for kids, I wanted to customize the cursor with a graphic of hand. When I tried this in the flash file it works perfectly until I add the drag and drop functionality for the wasted items. Then the cursor will more around but not pick up any items. Once I revert back to the standard pointer, the correct drag and drop functionality is restored.
assign your cursor's mouseEnabled property to false:
yourcursor.mouseEnabled=false;
3. I have it set to snap back to the original location if learner attempts to drop the item on the wrong target. I want to be able to play a sound file when that happens, as well as play a sound file when it lands on the correct target, as well as shrink the item and change its opacity so that it appears invisible. I want to give the illusion of it being placed into the bin. I have no idea as to the proper way to code these events so that they happen.
use the sound class to create a sound:
// initialize your correct sound once with
var correctSound:Sound=new CorrectSound(); // add an mp3 sound to your library and assign it class = CorrectSound
// apply the play() method everytime you want your sound to play:
correctSound.play();
// change an object's opacity:
someobject.alpha = .3; // partially visible
someobject.alpha = 1; // fully visible
someobject.visible=false; // not visible, at all.
// change an object's scale
someobject.scaleX=someobject.scaleY=.5; // shink width and height by 2
someobject.scaleX=someobject.scaleY=1; // resize to original
4. I've watched dozens of hours of youtube tutorials before coming here. I'm a quick study, but am very new to action script. In one of the videos the developer showed referencing an external action script file which I don't think is an option in CC. The coding method he used seemed much more streamlined and "clean" than the chunks I'm working with now. Is there an easy way for me to code information about these objects than the way I've got it here now? I hate starting new things with bad habits. The perils of self-teaching.
you could google:
actionscript 3 class coding
actionscript 3 object oriented programming
p.s. you can simplify and streamline your coding by learning about arrays and using hitTestObject.

Drag and Drop no longer working in Windows 8

Running ID6 on new computer running Windows 8. I'm running as Administrator mode, but I can no longer drag images into designs. I was able to in Windows 7.

Update on the problem.
The problem was that you cannot drag and drop when in Administrator mode. Indesign was crashing if I did not open in administrator mode. The reason why Indesign was crashing has something to do with licensing of the computer and software... This is a new computer and the c drive is a solid state chip. To conserve c drive space, we setup c:temp to be on a separate drive. That's why Indesign would not open normally. You must have your c:temp on your user account to be directed to c:temp.

Advanced system settings
Environment Variables
Changes must be made in four places. Dig around here, you'll find them.

A question about drag and drop

I have multiple images which can be dragged and dropped in a canvas. How can I get information about pictures into dataGrid, for instance the name and value (price) of an image? Currently my images are in array like this:
private function init():void {
currentExampleImage = imageExampleArray[imgExampleCurrentIndexNumber];
private var imgExampleCurrentIndexNumber:Number = 0;
private var imageExampleArray:Array =
"assets/image1.png",
"assets/image1.png"
and they are run with loop like this:
[Bindable] protected function get currentExampleImage():String {
    return _currentExampleImage;
protected function set currentExampleImage(value:String) : void {
    _currentExampleImage = value;
private function nextExampleImage(e:MouseEvent):void {
    if(imgExampleCurrentIndexNumber < imageExampleArray.length - 1)
    imgExampleCurrentIndexNumber++;
    currentExampleImage = imageExampleArray[imgExampleCurrentIndexNumber];
else
    imgExampleCurrentIndexNumber = 0;
    currentExampleImage = imageExampleArray[imgExampleCurrentIndexNumber];
So the question is that how can I set and get the name and the value of an image when it is dropped on a canvas and that information to be shown in a separate datagrid? Should I be using objects or classes? This is the drop function:
private function doDragDrop(event:DragEvent):void
    var img:Image;
    if (event.dragInitiator.parent == whiteBoard)
        img = event.dragInitiator as Image;
    else
        img = new Image();
        img.source = (event.dragInitiator as Image).source;
        img.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, doDragStart);
        whiteBoard.addChild(img);
           img.x = event.localX - (event.dragSource.dataForFormat("localX") as Number);
           img.y = event.localY - (event.dragSource.dataForFormat("localY") as Number)
Thanks beforehand and feel free to ask more information something is unclear.

There's a separate empty datagrid in my application and the main intention is to make the information of each image (those dragged and dropped onto a canvas that is a designing area) being shown in the datagrid's columns Name - Quantity - Price. Those values should be obtained from each image but I'm currently unaware of the technique how the information could be added to the images.
For instance Example1.png has a price value of 150€ and when that image is moved onto a canvas, the name and price should be shown in the datagrid and thus there should be simultaneous changes in the Quantity-column when I move the same image onto a canvas many times. Those images can also be removed from the canvas area and then the quantity should decrease. Obviously that same function should work on other images we have in a menu from where the images are dragged and then moved and dropped in the canvas. If I move Example1.png four times there should be Example1 in the name column, 4 in the quantity column and 600€ in the price column and of course all of them in the same row.
Pay attention to the code I put into the first post. You may suggest better options how I can sort-of-import (couldn't invent better term) images to the application.
Later there will be a row in the end of the datagrid/chart where the total price of every object that are moved on the canvas should be shown but that's another story.
Hopefully this made some sense to the whole thing.

Why cant i drag and drop on my macbook pro

all of a sudden i cannot drag and drop files...does anyone know how i can fix this issue? thanks in advance

Well, usually when my mac starts to have strange problems, I usually reset NVRAM (About NVRAM and PRAM) and SMC (Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)). I'm not a specialist but it always work. And a pic helps me better (http://www.chikaboo-designs.com/mac-fan/).
I had the same problem too and after both resetting, all works fines.
I hope it works

Why can I drag and drop from Photos to Pages, but not to Microsoft Word 2011

I'm unable, under OS X 10.10.3, to drag and drop pictures from Photo into Word for Mac 2011. I can paste from Photos into Pages. How can I add Word to the list of programs that can take pasted photos pasted from Photos

Drag and Drop support is done programmatically as part of the application design. There is no user settable configuration, or list of programs that you can add Word too. Apple has supported drag and drop in Pages for a long time, and from iPhoto or Aperture picture libraries. Microsoft chose another path.
I don't have Office for Mac 2011, but I can state that Word 15.8.1 in Office for Mac 2015 Preview does not accept drag/drop of images from Photos either. It compensates by offering Insert ▸ Pictures ▸ Photo Browser… and when selected, displays an image panel not unlike Pages offers when clicking images from its Toolbar. At the top of this Word Preview panel is the Photos logo. It is from this Photos browser panel, that Word Preview accepts drag/drop of images. It may be that way in Word in Office for Mac 2011 too.
