Dynamic User-Centric Content in Responsive
I see there is not yet a Responsive forum so I'll try the question here...
We would like to do the conditional build thing to tailor the users' views according to content specific to them. This will work, but will produce multiple sets of compiled files
I am hoping there is a dynamic approach out there similar to what is described on Peter Grainge's site at http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh_tour/index.htm but this is for WebHelp only
If it is not possible in Responsive, then it woud be a very usefult new feature to suggest to Adobe
David
I know it has been suggested but the more people who do so direct, the more likely it is to be implemented.
Please follow this link.
http://www.Adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=38
Kind regards.

Help needed, Createing Dynamic User input
Hello,
I am attempting to create some dynamic user input by "predicting" what the user requires in a text box.
For example if the user enters "Smi" I have a select list pop up which gives the user all options that begin with "Smi".
I am able to achieve the popups but the interface is quite jerky and not terribly responsive I am trying to solve this by using a thread which starts and stops when new input is received but it is still not quite right.
The program uses a Sorted TreeSet to hold the data (I thought this would give me a quick search time) and a simple interface at this stage.
Any help would be fantastic
Thanks in advance :P

/** This program represents part of a larger user interface for allowing the
user to select data from a file or database.
<p>
When the program starts up, it will read in data from a given file, and hold
it in some type of container allowing rapid access.
<p>
The user may then type in the first few letters of the surname of a person,
and this program should immediately present in a popup dialog the names which
match. The user will be able to click on one of the names in the popup and
that will cause all data about that person to be displayed in the JTextArea
at the bottom of the window.

I have installed and configured Kanaka plug-in and my nds users can now login and see their home folders. However, they cannot launch any local applications eg. TextEdit generates a message "TextEdit quit unexpectedly" and so does Opera, Firefox always tries to create a new profile and then gives a "Profile Creation failed" due to chosen folder not being writable and MS Word will always bring the initial setup screen up but never actually loads. Is there something I have to do within Kanaka to give the dynamic users more rights. We are trying to implement this for students using our public Macs so we don't want them to have administrator privileges but they do need to be able to launch programs. Thanks

Dynamic user events freeze user interface
Hi all,
I am having problem with dynamic user events.
Dynamic user event is registered to the event structure, and many dynamic user events come in very fast, about every 30 ms. It freezes up the user interface, no response to mouse and keyboard, even after all user events finish execution.
Any idea or work around?
Thanks for any help.
AnneHi Anne,
> Dynamic user event is registered to the event structure, and many dynamic user events come in very fast, about every 30 ms.
The 30ms rate is not unreasonably fast as long as the processing for the event(s) can be completed in less than 30ms.
What tasks are you doing in the User Event?
For tasks that may take time to complete (like logging) you could queue up the data and send it to a consumer loop.
> It freezes up the user interface, no response to mouse and keyboard, even after all user events finish execution.
My *guess* here is that you got stuck in an event that never completed.

Dynamically change the contents of one combo box based on the other
Hi Forum,
I have a question which might have a possibly simple answer. Well anyway help me out since i could not find the simple answer.
I am building an application using Swing and binding with BC4J using JClient. My GUI has combo boxes, grids, editboxes. My requirement is that i should be able to dynamically change the contents of one combo box based on the selected item in trhe previous combo box. For example, when i choose a country in the "country combo box", the "states combo box" should show the list of the states of the selected country.
Now how do i do this using binding. If not, how do i write custom querirs in BC4J layer and return a resultset to the remote application so theat i can populate the dependent combo boxes.
I will appreciate if anyone can help me out in this regard.
Thank You
Sumitthere could be quite a few number of ways of solving this problem.
One way is through event handlers.
taking your example as a model when user selects a country you could fire an action with a flag set to ture. A method will return the states from the DB or your temporary files or what ever and then the true flag will be used in the states combo box rendering.
other way: javascript
this might be a bit clumsy as you will need the states information in a property file and you can get the info as the user selects a country.

Xcontrols and dynamic User Events
Hi all,
I'm trying to build a XControl with an Event Structure that accepts User Events generated by a separate parallel loop on the block diagram.
A monitoring loop with its own Event Strucure on the block diagram seems to handle the User Events generated by my producer loop but the XControl seems to ignore the User Events.
Example LabView 8.5.1 project is attached
Any ideas?

> Dynamic user event is registered to the event structure, and many dynamic user events come in very fast, about every 30 ms.
The 30ms rate is not unreasonably fast as long as the processing for the event(s) can be completed in less than 30ms.
What tasks are you doing in the User Event?
For tasks that may take time to complete (like logging) you could queue up the data and send it to a consumer loop.
> It freezes up the user interface, no response to mouse and keyboard, even after all user events finish execution.
My *guess* here is that you got stuck in an event that never completed.

Spry Tabbed panels + Progressive Enhancement and Dynamic Loading of Content With Spry
Is there any way to combine tabbed panels together with "Progressive Enhancement and Dynamic Loading of Content With Spry"?
Visit: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/best_practices/progressive_enhancement.ht ml#updatecontent
And click on the "Using Spry.Utils.updateContent()"
The 3rd example shows how to use a fade transition whenever the content changes.
I already have tabbed panels. My menu contains buttons (on tabs) and my Content div contains the panels.
Tabs code;
<ul class="TabbedPanelsTabGroup">
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab">
<table class="Button" >
<tr>
<td style="padding-right:0px" title ="Home">
<a href="javascript:TabbedPanels1.showPanel(1);" title="Home" style="background-image:url(/Buttons/Home.png);width:172px;height:75px;display:block;"><br/></a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</li>
etc
etc
etc
and the panel code:
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent" id="Home">
CONTENT
</div>
I hoped i can use the example code from the link into my tabbed panels.
I thought this code:
onclick="FadeAndUpdateContent('event', 'data/AquoThonFrag.html'); return false;"
could be added to the tab code like this:
<a href="javascript:TabbedPanels1.showPanel(1);" onclick="FadeAndUpdateContent('event', 'data/AquoThonFrag.html'); return false;" title="Home" style="background-image:url(/Buttons/Home.png);width:172px;height:75px;display:block;"><br/></a>
But the content doesnt fade...
I know i need to change the header etc.
The following is from the link:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:spry="http://ns.adobe.com/spry">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Aquo Events</title>
<script src="../../../includes/SpryEffects.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../../includes/SpryData.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function FadeAndUpdateContent(ele, url)
try {
Spry.Effect.DoFade(ele,{ duration: 500, from: 100, to: 0, finish: function() {
Spry.Utils.updateContent(ele, url, function() {
Spry.Effect.DoFade(ele,{ duration: 500, from: 0, to: 100 });
}catch(e){ alert(e); }
-->
</script>
<style type="text/css">
/* IE HACK to prevent bad rendering when fading. */
#event { background-color: white; }
</style>
</head>
So i changed my header etc, put the SpryEffects.js and SpryData.js into position and nothing changed...
Is there a way to keep my tabbed panel (or change as less as possible) and let
A. The fade work
B. The loading work.
The problem now is that it loads all pages instead of only the home. Therefore i wanted this Progressive Enhancement.
And the fading part is just because its nice...It doesnt show in the post but off course i changed this link;
"data/AquoThonFrag.html"
into;
"javascript:TabbedPanels1.showPanel(1);"
I must say i dont know if this even works... -
I configure a RFC Receiver adapter to communicate with R/3. In my client application (via Webdynpro) I send the message that use this communication, but I need to call the RFC using a dynamic user/password, that is, the user credentials that is logged. Is it possible? How I do it?
thanks.Hi Elton,
I don't think so, it is possible to have dynamic user ID and password for the RFC adapter. As of now...
Because you need to enter the user id and password while configuring adapter itself.
But if you want , you can call different RFCs based on the Condition etc.
Hope this helps,

Hello,
here's a little teaser for user interface experts out there:
I wonder what kind of techniques ABAP offers for creating dynamic user interfaces.
When talking of 'dynamic' I imagine something like an arbitrary number of 'containers' where other programs (classes f.ex.) can draw their own user interface into.
In Java this could be realized with the container concept in swing.
I have done some research on this topic and the results are so far:
a plain dynpro: seems to have no dynamic at all -> not an option
a plain dynpro with a tabstrip: in case the number of tabs CAN be set at runtime AND the subscreens CAN be drawn from inside separate classes -> a definite option otherwise not an option
any kind of web-frontend (BSP, JSP etc.): web-frontends are not allowed by company restrictions -> not an option
dynamic documents: I could not find many information on these yet (also not on sdn). In case that an arbitrary number of parts of the dynamic document can be created from inside separate classes -> an option otherwise not an option
I will be happy about any further information on this topic.
Best regards,
Patrick BaerI spent some time today doing research on BSP's and built a "BSP-Viewer" embedded into the SAP-GUI. Though I like the concept of BSP's a lot (like I did already with JSP's) but company restricitions are too strict. So BSP's are out of the play.
After the discussion I started to play around with the different containers and basically I'm quite pleased with them and the "cl_gui_container_bar" allows an arbirtary number of "subscreens" which matches my requirements.
But as usual there's still a downside:
I found no option to built text labels and text fields into a container. Unless this is possible I can't give this approach a chance. I already found some postings which seemed to confirm that this is in fact not possible but I can't really believe it. At least from what it looks like it seems to me that the object navigator utilizes both: splitters, containers and all the stuff AS WELL AS the "classical" elements like text boxes, labels and so on.
Any ideas on how to combine the container concept with text fields, labels maybe whole dynpros or subscreens ?
Best regards,

How do i dynamically reference the contents of an item in a where clause
I have a select statement that references an item i.e. 'where sysdate=:diary.day1' at the moment, however i want to use this select to loop through every day of the week, so on the fist record it will change depending on where you are in the loop either 'where sysdate=:diary.day1' or 'where sysdate=:diary.day2' etc. I tried using a variable for this but it just uses the characters ':diary.day1' and not the contents of this item.
Not sure what you want but dynamic reference the content of an item may be done with NAME_IN builtin.
WHERE sysdate = TO_DATE( NAME_IN(var), 'fmt')
where var is a variable which contain item name, for example 'DAIRY.DAY1'
P.S. SYSDATE function contain not only date but time portion too.
So very little chances that this equation will be true -
Users marking their own responses as correct?
What is the deal with Users marking their own responses as correct?
I go under the assumption that if something is marked as Answered, it means that I've SEEN THE ANSWER.
If someone other than ME marks MY question as ANSWERED, it drops off my Radar.
Very, very dysfunctional. I track UNANSWERED question!
PLEASE STOP IT!Hi Matthew
First, capitalizing is really not needed. I do understand your frustration, but honestly...
Now, I will come clean and admit that on occasion, in my role as a moderator and editor of SCN, I have marked posts as answered. This will usually happen if I see that the post is a number of days old without a response to what I believe (OK, know) was the correct answer. I do this for a few reasons:
1) Many OPs do not mark their posts as answered. Would be nice if they did...
2) Many OPs make the answer as "Helpful", even though it is DE answer. I will then change this to answered.
3) Posts marked as answered are much more likely to be looked at than abandoned post with no further feedback as to the posted answers being correct or not.
4) Marked posts make it obvious that these forums are active and do provide answers consistently.
I could go on, but I hope I get my view across(?).
Oh. BTW., I may mark my own replies as "Answered" . It is not something I do to gain points. For one, I do not get points for marking my replies as "Answered" (it the way SCN works). For two, I really do not care about the number of points I get. I do not get measured on it and there is just nothing in it for me. Other than keeping the forums alive, vibrant and well.

Dynamic User Group Role for ASA 8 ACS 4 External Windows DB
1. I've successfully got a Win2003 AD user to authenticate to the ASA via an ACS but the default group settings the dynamic user becomes part of don't get transfered to the user. How do I get the user to adopt the group settings?
2. ASDM recommends nabling authentication for admin console sessions so you don't ssh into a box then have to login as the enable password which isn't logged. When I check the box for this feature I can ssh to the ASA but my password is denied ASA. How do I keep the user credentials all the way to the privilege exec mode?
3. Back in the day I could configure the ACS shell, privilege 15, custom attributes cisco-av-pair "priv-lvl-15" to get a user to jump directly to privilege exec mode. This doesn't work now. Is there a different way to do this on ACS v 4?
Thanks in advance,
MattTry this:
aaa authentication enable console
aaa authorization command
on ACS go to the user or group that the user is in and go to enable options and click on "Max Privilege for any AAA client" and set it to "15". Then go to the "tacacs+" section on click on "Shell(exec)" and click on "Privilege leve" and enter 15. Then go to the "Shell command authorization set" and set the default to permit any commands not listed. This will get the user into privilege mode. In ASA/Pix it requires command authorization and authentication for enable console. On IOS it requires that you use aaa authentication exec and then the aaa authorization exec/command. This will allow the user to go straight into privilege mode instead of user mode. -
Dynamically updating ChoiceBox contents
I want to display a ChoiceBox and update the contents in response to some external event. I tried a simple test but have two problems:
1. The initial selection ("Select ...") is not displayed
2. The selection is cleared when new items are added
Here's my test code:
package rde.tests.fx.fx2;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.layout.HBox;
import javafx.scene.control.ChoiceBox;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
public class Chtest extends Scene {
var list = ["Select ..."];
override var content =
HBox {
spacing: 5
content: [
Text { content: "Label " },
ChoiceBox { items: bind list },
Button {
text: "Press me"
action: function() { insert ["abc", "def", "ghi"] into list; }
function run() {
Stage { scene: Chtest {} }
Do I need to set the selection index somehow?
Thanks

action: function() { var idx = ch.selectedIndex; insert ["abc", "def", "ghi"] into list; ch.select(idx); }Thanks. I was sort of hoping to avoid storing a reference to the choice box somewhere - with bind it seems it should not be necessary.
I did make some progress by changing the ChoiceBox literal to:
ChoiceBox {
override var items on replace { select(0); }
items: bind list
But I could not find a way to reset the original selection when the items are updated - by the time the 'on replace' clause is executed, the selected index has been reset to -1.
