Drop List Widget - Newbie Question

Greetings -
Is it possible to include more than one column in a list box? I am
attempting to implement the equivalent of a multi-column list box in Visual
Basic. For example, the scroll list has the following values:
1002
1020
3045
I would like to have the scroll list display
1002 Human Resources
1020 Marketing
3045 Sales.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Lea,
When testing the widgets coming with CP5/5.5 I learned to avoid the dropdown and combobox widgets because they were causing a lot of issues (memory leaks etc). This is probablye not directly linked with your problem, but could you try to replace them by the Listbox widget (that had not the same problems)?

RE: Viewable Items on a Drop List in Forte V2

Hi Kumar,
Let me guess, you're using windows NT 4.0 as your client.
I had the same problem a few months ago and raised the
question in this list.
My answer is as brief as it is unsatisfying:
It is a known bug for which there is no work around.
Forte 2 and NT 4.0 don't mix very well. Forte 3 works fine.
You think you found some logic behind the bug, but you
haven't. I just so happened it works this way for these
droplists in this window. Other droplists in other windows
will not follow this logic. Some won't even show the bug.
These are your choises:
Don't use NT 4.0
Switch to Forte 3
Don't use droplists
Use some tricks, like adding an empty row at the end
of the list.

Subject: Viewable Items on a Drop List in Forte V2
I have a set of drop lists that are part of an array field which are
populated dynamically. If I set the number of viewable items to n,
and
if the drop list has m number of items in it, the number of items
that
actually appear is n-1 if the list contains more than n items( m>n)
and it is m-1 if the list contains less than n items (m<n).
For example, if I set the number of viewable items to 4 and a drop
list contains 7 items, the actual number of viewable items I see is 3
(4-1) whereas if the drop list contains 2 items, the actual number of
viewable items I see is 1 (2-1).
I searched through the archive of this list and found that this same
issue was raised before, but couldn't find any replies pertaining to
it.
Is this a "feature" of Forte V2? I tried the same thing with Forte V3
and it does work fine in V3.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
-- Kumar Krishnasami.
p.s:- It doesn't matter how I set the viewable items. I tried both
setting them through the windows workshop as well as in the code
after
the self.Open() in the Display() method. The behavior is the same in
both cases.

I have noticed that Drop List widgets show an initial value equal to
the first value in their Element List. However, this does not seem

initially. Once a value is selected from the drop down list, it
always has a value.I have found the following behaviour to be true of DropLists with an
object mapped type (ie, TextData as opposed to string): If you
instantiate the mapped attribute in the Init() method (ie,
self.theDroplist = new()), then the DropList will display the first
item in the list as selected when the window comes up. If however, you
do NOT instantiate the mapped attribute, then you get the behaviour you
are observing where the DropList defaults to showing nothing until the
user makes a selection. It's kind of an odd behaviour, but you can
take advantage of it in cases where you want to force something to be
selected by the user, but you don't want an initial default.

Infosemantics Drag and Drop Interactive widget

I’ve added the Infosemantics Drag and Drop Interactive widget to my project, but it only works after publishing via a computer and not on an iPad. I published using both SWF and HTML5 so it “should” work. The HTML tracker for that slide does not list any unsupported slides or objects. If this widget is not compatible with the iPad, is the new Captivate drag and drop feature available for Subscription and ASA customers work on an iPad? If so, is there a student rate for either a Subscription or ASA? Thanks so much.

The drag&drop wizard in 6.1 is easy to use, but doesn't have all the functionality that you find in the InfoSemantics Interactive widget. Just want to warn you. I am using both: for simple Drag&Drop I'll use the wizard, but as an example to create a custom matching or sequence question slide I need InfoSemantics widget, that is not possible with the 6.1 D&D.

Using Google GWT to create (Dashcode) widgets for iBook Author I would like to embed interactive widgets in iBooks using iBookAuthor. The widgets in question started life in Java but GWT has allowed them to be converted to javascript and to run on web pa

I would like to embed interactive widgets in iBooks using iBookAuthor. The widgets in question started life in Java but GWT has allowed them to be converted to javascript and to run on web pages (for example, http://softoption.us/content/node/437 scroll to the bottom). In theory, iBookAuthor can bring in most html5, and much javascript. The technique is to wrap the html in a folder, with 2 extra files, a plist and a default png and then change the extension of the folder to ‘.wdgt’. This is the technique for making Dashboard widgets for the Mac, and Apple even have the Dashcode software to do it. So what you really do is to make a Dashboard widget, then iBookAuthor can import it. So far, so good. And some folk have been doing this, for example http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/2/prweb9242432.htm http://www.panophoto.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=10417&p=158330#p158423 However, if you start with GWT and create a single page with one button and a Hello World, compile it, and get the WAR file (I use Eclipse here)… the Safari browser and others will run it properly (even on an iPad). Then if you wrap it, a proper Dashboard widget is created, which runs properly on a Mac. Then if you go to iBookAuthor and put a custom widget in the Text, then drag it in. It is accepted by the text and shown as being there. However, if you use Preview to look at it on an iPad, it is gone (or was never there in the first place). Anyone any ideas on this? [And iBook Author seems to give no warnings.] The widget is at https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46713473/Test6.wdgt.zip I have bells and whistles that I’d like to get into an iBook!
Thanks for any insights.
Martin

I do have a little to add, which might help someone. Indeed, opening a blank page and dragging the widget straight in seems good in difficult cases. But, actually, I was also able to insert successfully from the Toolbar especially to blank pages. So, it may have been something to do with the columns and stuff like that. Anyway back then the insertion would show in iBooks Author but not in the Preview on the iPad. I moved on to actual Google Web Toolkit output javascript. Basically I had three at hand to try: a Hello World with a button which went straight it, one of moderate complexity, (for example with a built in Lisp interpreter), which also went straight in, and finally a more complex one that initially was rejected by iBook Author. Author complained that there was an unsupported media file (of course, Author does not tell you which one it is, that would be too easy). [Remember, this was a proper working Dashboard widget which could be installed on a Mac]. Among other things I had read remarks about .gif files. When looking through the GWT war directory at the actual javascript etc files, I noticed there were two gifs there one called ‘clear.cache.gif ‘ and a second one called ‘0F89659FF3F324AE4116F700257E32BD.cache.gif’. (Now, there is obfuscation so the numbers here may be different from case to case.) The clear.cache.gif did not seem to be anything special. But the other one is an animation. It is three little boxes that twinkle (rather like a waiting spinning cursor). So, I opened that file and saved it to itself (that picks the top frame of the animation and saves only that, leaving you with an unanimated gif). The resulting widget drags and drops into iBooks Author (and seems to work properly at a quick glance). So, if you are having trouble with ‘unsupported media files’ converting animated gifs into unanimated gifs might help in some cases.

Newbie Question: How much computer do I need?

Newbie Question:
I would like to use MainStage 3 in a live performance environment to play bars, parties, etc. I'm not looping, using it to playback recordings, processing outboard equipment or vocal processing. I want to stop carrying Rolands, Nords, Korgs, etc and get to a controller and a rack with a Mac Mini in it.
I tested a download of Mainstage 3 on my home Mac Mini (late 2012, 3.5 Ghz i5, 4GB RAM, 500GB drive) and it seemed to run fairly well. $30 well invested so I trekked forward... I purchased a Mac Mini (late 2009, 2.52GHz Core 2 Duo, 6GB RAM, 128GB SSD) for $200. I started to do more elaborate keyboard setups to see how the CPU would hold up. It typically runs from 30% to 50% of capacity (CPU and Memory) It actually boots and runs better than the i5. I hear the occasion gitch, but it actually seems to be getting better in time (or I'm rock and roll deaf.
I got a rack, an Airport Express, a Radial USB interface and a Nektar Panorama P6. It's starting to get expensive, but I'm emboldened by the actual quality for the sound and the flexibility of arranging for live performance. What used to take me two and three keyboards to play, I can now fit on one performance patch.
OK, now the question... am I at the limits of this little Core 2 Duo? Should I upgrade the i5 with more RAM and a bigger SSD and use that? Should I get a new(er) i7 and bite the $1,500 bullet for the additional RAM and SSD?
I see that most of you are running pretty nice Macbook Pros with i7 and lots of everything. My needs are modest; am I OK?
BTW, I want to run a Mac Mini in a box because I don't want to carry a laptop out in the open. If I was doing bigger shows I wouldn't care but I play some rowdy bars and constantly have folks hanging off me while I'm playing. It's fun, but hard on gear. If you can't drop it or dip it in beer, it won't last long where I work.
Matt Donnelly

Rule of thumb: newer and faster is better. But, depending the complexity of your needs you may be OK with an older Mac. Some glitches that happen in a live performance are due to loss of communication with USB or Firewire inputs, so make sure they're secure. I recently upgraded from a 2010 Mac Mini 2.6 dual core with 16 GB RAM, which was used live for nearly four years, to the latest Mac Mini 3.0 i7 with 16 GB RAM and a 500 GB SSD. I was getting an occasional stuck note with the older one. The new one is rock solid. Some of my patches may have up to a dozen channel strips mapped to three keyboards. The Mini is mounted in a rack next to a MOTU Ultralite Hybrid. It is a good idea to map a panic button on your keyboard to controller # 123(all notes off). Also, you might want to invest in a battery backup power supply(APC, Cyberpower, etc.-$40-$60) to protect your Mac against power loss, which can damage you hard drive.

Who'd like to test a new Drag and Drop Interactive Widget?

It's taken about 6 months of every spare minute we could find but we're finally ready to do a round of Alpha testing for our new Drag and Drop Interactive Widget for Cp4 and 5. This post is to ask for a handful of volunteers to test the new widget over the next week creating drag and drop interactions in both Cp4 and Cp5.
If you've already tried our well-known Drag and Drop Lite Question Widget, but were a bit frustrated by the limitations that the quiz question format placed on your creativity, we think you'll be blown away by what this new Interactive Widget can do. It does everything the current question widget does, aside from the aspects that are unique to question types (Review Area, Retake Quiz, etc) plus a whole lot more. Due to the extra functionality, this widget has twice as much code as our last one.
Some of the features:
You can have as many widgets as you want on a single slide and each can be addressing a different drag and drop scenario.
You can reference the same drag and target objects from different widgets to create different.
Since they are interactive widgets, you can use the widget success/failure criteria to trigger Advanced Actions. This opens up a lot of possibilities for game interactions.
You can score each widget differently so that OnSuccess they will each report different scores for dragging the same objects. This means you can have Conditional Scoring and more than one correct answer for a given problem.
You can set one of the widgets to have its Preferences be used for all widgets on the slide so that you don't need to set all widget preferences individually, thus saving a lot of time.
You can set Preference Priority for each widget to configure which widgets will have "right of way" if there is a potential conflict in preferences. For example, if one widget wants one type of snapping behaviour on an object but another widget wants the same object to snap differently, the widget with the higher Preference Priority will dominate.
You can nominate other interactive objects (including clickboxes or other widgets) to act as Submit button and Clear button to create a simulated quiz question.
Since this widget is an Interactive widget, it also has the same advanced Pausing override behaviours we built into our Event Handler widget (http://www.infosemantics.com.au/eventhandler) So you can have users stay on the same slide playing with the drag and drop interaction for as long as they like without progressing to the next slide until they want to.
Plus other stuff I can't think of right now.
If you decide to volunteer to participate in this Alpha testing, please don't use this widget for any production Captivate projects you may have. The Alpha and Beta versions of the widget will be time-bombed to stop working after a couple of weeks so that we don't have buggy versions running around later.
As I said at the beginning, we only need a handful of testers, we need people using either Cp4 or Cp5, and you need to do this testing over the next week so that we can then address any issues you find and release a debugged Beta version for more testing.
Anyone wanna play?
If you do want to volunteer, send me a private message on this forum with your email address so I can send you a widget and instructions. We'll only be taking the first dozen or so people that are willing to contribute time and feedback.
Cheers,
Rod Ward

Is there a way to make drag and drop slides behave like question slides?

I created a drag and drop interaction that I want to include in an assessment with other quiz questions. I am having two problems
1. The submit and reset buttons do not display for the full 3.0s duration of the slide. Once the user clicks submit, the feedback caption displays and the buttons disappear.
2. The slide auto advances to the next question. I want the slide pause until the user "clicks anywhere to continue."
Does anyone know a work around to get a drag and drop slide to mimic question slide behavior?
Thanks!

Starting fluxbox-newbie question

:? I currently have kde running on my system. I installed fluxbox using pacman.
How do I start fluxbox? I couldn't even find it, so I su to root, type fluxbox, and get
an error message saying that another window system is already running! (kde)
A typical newbie question, but I don't know how to start fluxbox. I think I want to
replace kde with fluxbox, so should I just uninstall kde??

if you comment out exec wmaker and then put a ! in front of the kdm daemon you should boot to a console at which point you login then type startx. you may also have to change your init level but i dunno i haven't used a graphical login manager for a very long time.

RV042G Newbie Questions

I have the new Cisco RV042G router, and I have just a few "newbie questions" about it as I get started using it:
The firmware on board is v4.2.1.02. Since this is a brand new router, is that the latest firmware?
Under Time>DST Dates, what do I need to configure in there? I'm in the US, Central Time.
I want to use Back to My Mac from iCloud (formerly MobileMe). Under the iCloud preferances pane on my Mac, it's saying: "Back to My Mac may be slow because NAT Port Mapping (NAT-PMP) or Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is turned off on your router. Turn on NAT-PMP or UPnP." What should I enable on my router in order for Back to My Mac to better function?
I'm using a VOIP phone on the network (only 1 device with a couple phones). Are there any QoS settings I should tweak for better performance of my VOIP phone? I did change the port the VOIP phone is connected to to High (instead of Normal) under Port Settings. Will this help boost performance?
I also want to setup a VLAN on a port for guests to access the Internet, but not have any access to my personal network. Here's the steps I've done so far. Is this sufficient or is there anything else I need to do?
I went to Setup>Network, enabled Multiple Subnets.
I added 192.168.254.1/255.255.255.0 as a subnet.
I went to Port Management>Port Setup, set the port I wanted to use (Port 4) to VLAN2.
I went to Firewall>Access Rules, added two rules:
Deny All Traffic from 192.168.254.0 to 192.168.1.0.
Deny All Traffic from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.0.
Thanks everyone for your help!

Easy. just goto the DHCP field and fill in the Static DHCP fields.
Assigning static IP addresses by adding devices from a list
Click Show unknown MAC addresses. The IP & MAC binding list appears. If the web browser displays a message about the pop-up window, allow the blocked content.
The devices are listed by the IP address and the MAC address. (Typically the MAC address appears on a label on the bottom panel or back panel of a device.) If needed, you can clickRefresh to update the data.To select a device, first enter a descriptive Name. Then check the Enable box. Alternatively, select all devices in the list by clicking the check box at the top of the Enable column.
Click OK to add the devices to the Static IP list, or click Close to close the pop-up window without adding the selected devices. After you click OK, a message appears. The message includes important information. Read it before clicking OK. Keep the browser open and wait until the selected MAC addresses appear in the Static IP list.
Modify or remove list entries, as needed:
To modify the settings: Click a device in the list. The information appears in the text fields. Make the changes, and then click Update. If you do not need to make changes, you can click Add New to de-select the entry and clear the text fields.
To delete an entry from the list: Click the entry that you want to delete, and then clickDelete. To select a block of entries, click the first entry, hold down the Shift key, and then click the final entry in the block. To select individual entries, press the Ctrl key while clicking each entry. To de-select an entry, press the Ctrl key while clicking the entry.
Assigning static IP addresses by entering devices manuallyIn the Static IP Address section, add or edit entries as needed. Remember that the settings are not saved until you click the Save button.
To add a new device to the list: Enter the following information, and then click Add to list.
Static IP Address: Enter the static IP address. You can enter 0.0.0.0 if you want the router to assign a static IP address to the device.
MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the device. (Typically the MAC address appears on a label on the bottom panel or the back panel of a device.) Enter the address without punctuation.
Name: Enter a descriptive name for the device.
Enable: Check this box to assign the static IP address to this device.
To add another new entry: Enter the information, and then click Add to list.
To modify the settings: Click a device in the list. The information appears in the text fields. Make the changes, and then click Update. If you do not need to make changes, you can clickAdd New to de-select the entry and clear the text fields.
To delete an entry from the list: Click the entry that you want to delete, and then click Delete. To select a block of entries, click the first entry, hold down the Shift key, and then click the final entry in the block. To select individual entries, press the Ctrl key while clicking each entry. To de-select an entry, press the Ctrl key while clicking the entry.
Using the Static IP List to Block Devices
You can use the Static IP list to control access to your network. You can block access by devices that are not on the list or do not have the correct IP address.
Add devices to the Static IP list as described in Static IP Addresses.
Enable or disable the following features:
Block MAC address on the list with wrong IP address: Check this box to prevent a computer from accessing your network if its IP address has been changed. For example, if you previously assigned a static IP address of 192.168.1.100 and someone configures the device to use 192.168.149, the device will not be allowed to connect to your network. This feature discourages users from changing their device IP addresses without your permission. Uncheck the box to allow access regardless of the current IP address assignment.
Block MAC address not on the list: Check this box to block access from devices that are not included in the Static IP list. This feature prevents unknown devices from accessing your network. Uncheck the box to allow access by any connected device that is configured with an IP address in the correct range.
Hope that helps.

"Repeat" drop list is unresponsive

I notice that recently when an event alarm window opens, the "Repeat" drop list is unresponsive. I use this feature daily, so it needs fixing. I have more than a hundred events. Is there a way to export my events to serve as a backup? Are these events in a pref file? I quit iCal and tried removing the iCal folder from home /Library /Application Support and the three preference files (com.apple.iCal.AlarmScheduler.plist, com.apple.iCal.helper.plist, and com.apple.iCal.plist). Then I opened iCal and all my events were still there. My two questions are (1) How can I make a backup of my iCal events? 92) How can I get the ""Repeat" drop list to start working again?

After a few days of aggravation, the issue mysteriously resolved itself. Gremlins?

I'm not that familiar with how FaceTime works. I know how to set It up but I don't use it. I just know that you can't activate in the UAE. I believe that you can activate in any country that permits it's use. Whether you will need a new ID or not, I can't confirm.
You can Google this and get all sorts of articles on workarounds. Apparently if you set up a VPN you can use it in the UAE. Here is one article that I found.

How to lengthen the drop list view in form page selection?

Hi All,
Looking at 11.1.2.1 Planning, it's annoying that I can only see 10 members at a time when scrolling through the page drop list in forms:
http://www.stanford.edu/~mikeling/drop_list_screenshot.jpg
In 9.3, one is able to see a much longer list.
Is there a way to globally customize the length of viewable members in the dropdown, so that I see 20 or 30 members at a time, for example?

Total Newbie Question ... Sorry :-(

I know it's a windows thing, and I am now converted to Mac but I gotta know this because it's doing my head in. It's a complete stupid green gilled newbie question.
When installing new programs on a Mac can you create shortcuts to the programs on the Dock? I did what I THOUGHT it would be, i.e I made an Alias and stuck it in the dock, but on rebooting my Mac later on, in place of the shortcuts where 3 question marks which when clicked on did absolutely nothing???
Help?

You aren't installing something from a dmg file are you? The dmg is a disk image – kind of a virtual CD. So when you double click the dmg and then get the little disk/hardrive/custom icon on your desktop that is the same as if you had mounted a CD. You then need to drag the application off of that "CD" into your application folder. Then it is truly installed.
You can then "eject" the icon your your desktop. This is what happens when you shutdown and without remounting the image your dock shortcut can't find the original.
Just a thought.

Newbie Question. just installed IE7.. how do I set up a local host to preview sites?

Sorry for the newbie question... but it's been a long time since I have done this
Thanks!

Just define your site in DW as always. For a static site, that's all you need to do.
