Dynamic ribbon using MFC C++

Hi,
So I am trying to program ribbon dynamically with MFC.
My requirements said I need 3-levels of HUD with the ribbon though.
I know right now you guys only have 2, not counting the quick access toolbar.
First level = Categories, Second level = Pane.
Do you know what’s the best way to go about this? We are considering to use “Outlook navigation pane” on top of the ribbon but I am not sure that we can do that.
We actually want a custom ribbon depending on the application modes that we are doing.
So, for example in outlook whenever you click [mail] or [calendar] the ribbon changes but I am not sure how to achieve that. I tried googling but so far what I've found are examples in C# and VB and that's not what I need.
Thanks in advance

Dynamic ribbon programming in MFC C++ IMO is the most powerful UI programming tool out there. I have succeeded in programming the Outlook control to walk through and click on shell files and open them. But little known is the fact that you can not only easily
design the ribbon using the ribbon resource controller, but you can re-program the ribbon at runtime. This is a very powerful capability far surpassing XAML's useless layer of indirection. You can, for example, add or subtract gallery icons. In Word you can
see gallery icons in use when selecting styles. But in addition to what you see in Word, you can create new ribbon objects dynamically. Very powerful. There are no examples to be found anywhere which is amazing.
If I've understood your question, I think I accomplished the ribbon 3rd level you are seeking. I build a ribbon gallery at runtime. Then for each ribbon icon, I create a dropdown list of controls. Again, all dynamically. The user not only sees a dynamic
list of gallery icons but can manipulate each icon using those dropdown controls.
Here is a dynamically created icon:
and here is the dynamically created dropdown list of commands:

When I create a CWNumEdit dynamically, for use in a toolbar. I get a warning message indicating it has a trial version. Is there a way of creating a CWNumEdit dynamically without this message?

I am using visual studio .net. And it works fine on computers where Visual Studio and Measurement Studio is installed. The cwui.ocx from the redistrabution cd is installed in the computer. The problem is only with controls which are dynamically created, controls
creadted with the IDE work fine.

How to get the list of values for a dynamic parameter using Web Services SDK?

I am struggling to get the list of values for a dynamic parameter of a report.I am using Java Web Services SDK ... I tried to use PromptInfo.getLOV().getValues() method but it does not work.First of all ... is this possible (to get the list of values for a dynamic param) using Web Services?Second of all, if this is possible, how should I do it ... it seems it works fine when running the report from CMC. It asks for DB logon info and after that it provides a list of values.Thx 

Your assumption is correct. We are trying to get the LOVs from the Crystal Report. I was not aware that this is not supported by Web Services SDK.We used Web Services SDK to integrated the Crystal Reports in our web application. We implemented some basic actions for reports: schedule, view instances, run ad-hoc reports.We encountered this problem when trying to run/schedule reports with dynamic parameters (a list of values from DB). We were unable to get the LOVs.Please let me know if you can think of an alternative to look at.Thanks a lot,Catalin

Hi Vipin,
You can create the view object with rows populated at run time.

Question regarding the creation of a custom dynamic stamp using "Will Print" from "Set Doc. Actions

Hi all,
Using Acrobat 9.0 Professional, I have successfully created a dynamic stamp using the forums where I have added Login / Date to my own image and it works great as designed. However, the problem I am having is that when a document is stamped it becomes flat and doesn't update dynamically which does not work for my requirements.
I need to create a pdf that is stamped by myself so that other users (using only Reader) can open the pdf and when printed the stamp will print with the correct date/time (in the format I describe below).
I found a workaround (outside of a stamp) where I added a text box (called "Today") that updates everytime the document is printed by going to
Advanced / Document Processing / Set Document Actions / Document Will Print
and adding the following Java Code:
var f = this.getField("Today");
f.value = util.printd('yyyymmddhMMss', new Date());
This provides me with the unique number that I need for printing (ie: 20100317102030). It works great as an inserted text field on my pdf.
My problem is that when I use the "create custom stamp" as in other tutorials by inserting this new text field, it will not update (or display) on print, even though it was set the exact same way as the custom stamp I got working using the Adobe dynamic stamp information.
Can you offer any advice on how I can get this to work as a custom stamp? I would rather not have to create both a stamp and then overlay the text field manually as I have hundreds of documents (maybe more) to do this for.
Also, as an aside, if I could get this to work, I would also like to add Login ID that updates in the same manner as my custom date format (but one problem at a time I guess! )
Thanks for any and all help that you can provide. I looked through these forums and elsewhere, but I don't seem to see anyone else with the same problems (with solutions posted).
I really wish Adobe had a Custom Stamp creator as part of their program, with the dynamic option. It would be so easy for them and save a lot of users so much time.

Stamps are just like a inked rubber stamp, except in Acrobat you can suppress printing them and you can move them. So if you use a dated "Faxed" stamp when you fax a document, even though you can adjust the stamp before affixing the stamp, once the document is stamped the date on the document can not be changed or moved. It appears, that the use of a stamp might not be the best solution.
"Interactive" means Acrobat JavaScript programing.
With JavaScript not only can you insert variable data but also fixed text strings or a combination of both.
So your script could be updated to something like:
var f = this.getField("Today");
f.value = "Printed : " + util.printd('yyyymmddhMMss', new Date());
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1333261#1333261
Getting the 'login name" will require some special JavaScript code being added to an application level JavaScript folder that runs upon initialization and is the data or function created is then accessed by your PDF. This file will need to be installed on each user's system.

With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?

With a PDF Dynamic form using show/hide actions, how to ensure that when the completed form is saved, closed and re-opened, the form still show the fields as before it was closed?
I have developed a form with fields hidden by default, that become visible based on box ticked or radio button selections.
My problem is that, when I close the form and re-open it, it comes back to it's default presentation, regardless of the information already recorded in the form (including in the now hidden fields.
How to correct that
Thanks in advance for any hint you can provide.

I've had the same problem. This solved it...
Go to the "Form properties..." in the File-menu. Select "Run-time" to the left and in the box "Scripting" Preserve scripting changes to form when saved: choose Automatically (Script-based state changes are saved locally in an insecure fashion. This option cannot be used for certified forms).
Hope it works for you to...

How to create a dynamic newsflash using dreamweaver and PHP

Hi there,
I would like to create a dynamic newsflash using dreamweaver and PHP in that the newsflash will be pulling information from a MySQL database. The newsflash should also have a link to view more information about the piece of news a user wants to know more about. Which tools do I need to use in dreamweaver and how's the procedure to go about that. Any advice is highly appreciated. Thanx in advance!

I think you´ll need at least a MySQL table with the following columns:
- id (primary key, int, auto_increment etc)
- news_headline (varchar)
- news_teaser (text)
- news_content (text)
What I´d personally add are columns such as:
- news_date (date or datetime)
- news_external_link (varchar), if a "read more..." link is supposed to navigate to an external URL rather than displaying the contens of the "news_contents" column.
Based on such a MySQL table it should be easy to use Dreamweavers standard Server Behaviors to create the usual datalist.php, insert.php, update.php and delete.php documents, and there are numerous tutorials out there which will teach you how to do that.
Am I right when assuming that you´ll also need to know how to automatically pull, say, the 5 most recent news records from the database ?

How to create two level dynamic list using JSP , Java Script and Oracle

I am new in JSP. And i am facing problem in creating two level dynamic list using JSP ,Java Script where the listdata will come from Oracle 10g express edition database. Is there any easy way in JSP that is available on in ASP.NET.
Plz response with details.

1) Learn JDBC API [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/index.html].
2) Create DAO class which contains JDBC code and do all SQL queries and returns or takes ID's or DTO objects.
3) Learn Servlet API [http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/tutorial/doc/].
4) Create Servlet class which calls the DAO class, gets the list of DTO's as result, puts it as a request attribute and forwards the request to a JSP page.
5) Learn JSP and JSTL [http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/tutorial/doc/]. Also learn HTML if you even don't know it.
6) Create JSP page which uses the JSTL c:forEach tag to access the list of DTO's and iterate over it and prints a HTML list out.
You don't need Javascript for this.

How can i add to Outook 2013's ribbon using VBA and/or get a ribbon button's name within a macro?

Everything I found on Google for this question refers to Excel or Word and what they say doesn't work for Outlook.
I need to be able to do two things:
Add buttons to a custom group on the "Home" tab of the Outlook 2013 ribbon using VBA from within Outlook 2013.
Within the macro that runs when each button is clicked I want to be able to tell the name of the button that was clicked.
For #1: I cannot find any useful information online.
For #2: The idea is that I want to have a variable number of buttons like "Do 1", "Do 2", "Do 3", ..., "Do X" and each of them would run the same macro/sub and within the macro/sub I can see what the name of the button
is so I know what to do. Otherwise I'd have to create a sub/macro for each button and I'm trying to avoid that.

Hi IMThreNachoMan,
>>Just to confirm, I can have the ribbon run a normal macro (Sub Blah()) but not if it tries to reference the ribbon (Sub Blah(c as IRibbonControl))?<<
I've tested it on managed project, it works as expected, but it seems the *.OfficeUI file makes the VBA as an expectation.
I'm trying to involve some senior engineers into this issue and it will take some time. Your patience will be greatly appreciated. Sorry for any inconvenience and have a nice day!

I am trying to write a double buffered data acquisition program using MFC and a callback function.

i am trying to do a double buffer data acquisition using MFC application framework in Visual Studio.i want to use a callback function to notify when the buffer is half full.do you have some sample reference program that can help me?

What DAQ board are you using? When you installed NI-DAQ you should have selected to install the support files for VC++. Then there will be several examples on how to do double buffered data acquisition.
If you have already installed NI-DAQ 6.8 or higher and did not select to include the support files, you can run the NI-DAQ setup program and just add them. If you are using an older version, you will have to uninstall and reinstall.
Once you have the support files, follow this path to the examples.
>>Program Files>>National Instruments>>NI-DAQ>>Examaples>>Visual C>>
If you are doing digital acquistion, goto the di folder, if you are doing analog acquisition goto the ai folder.
As for the callback function, you can use the NI-DAQ function Config_DAQ_
Event_Message with DAQEvent Type = 1, where N would equal half your buffer.

How to make dynamic actions using Set Value work in all browsers?

I’m having a cross-browser incompatibility issue with dynamic actions using Set Value. The dynamic action works like a charm on Chrome but has no effect on either IE or Firefox. The code in oracle.apex.com and here are the credentials:
Workspace: DDBA
Username: [email protected]
Password: redtruck12
These code is on page 3 and here are the details:
There are two report lists (Standard and Special) and some of the reports require additional information supplied in either select lists or text boxes.
If the user selects a Standard report requiring a select list/text box, then the dynamic action sets the value of Special Reports to NULL (and vice-versa).
The dynamic action is to prevent a simultaneous selection of both the Standard and Special reports. To see how it works on Chrome, do this:
Run Page 3
Select the ‘Report for Search Criteria’ option from the Standard Report list. A ‘Search Criteria’ text box appears
Select the ‘Report by Release’ option from the Special Reports list. A select list appears and the ‘Search Criteria’ text box disappears.
If you do the same things on IE or Firefox, the text box does not disappear.

Hi,
Things are going wrong with setting the item values to NULL. If you check your session state, you'll see that in chrome your items values indeed will be set to null, but in firefox they won't.
Also I've noticed that you don't reset the other input fields, so their values persist in the session state. Since you submit your page every time you change one of the report select lists, this might lead to unexpected behaviour. Lastly, I've noticed you use a sql exists expression to manage the display/hide of your page items. A condition of type "Value of expression 1 = expression 2" causes less overhead as you don't need to switch to the db sql engine for every item to validate.
I'd suggest you rethink your specs and try to create:
- One dynamic action (since a value of standard select excludes the value of special select, and vice versa)
- Set the values for hidden items to null, also in session state
- Use a refresh of region as extra event in your dynamic action, instead of submitting your page for every change.
