Events/without user intervention at the GUI
I am developing a control application in which in open loop the user has interaction with controls in the GUI and a generation of events begin an action. However in closed loop the controller generates the values and rewriten the values at the controls in the GUI without intervention of user in the GUI. The events are not identified within the events loop located within the white loop. I am trying to work with Dynamically Registering Events but i am not have sucess. The specific question is how generated an event when a value control changes without the intervention of the user in the GUI

Use a property node for the front panel control and select the property
"Value (Signaling)". When writing to this property, the event is
triggered. -
Animate elements one by one without user intervention
Hi, Good Day,
I have series of rectangles and textblocks on page.
I need to show them moving at different places one by one according to the contents of textblock without user intervention.
If I use for loop then it show movement of only last rectangle as I have to stop the storyboard in each iteration of loop.
Is there any way to move these rectangles automatically one after another????
sunainaA storyboard has a completed event. I think that's the easiest way to handle this sort of requirement.
You could chain them.
So you get a reference to a storyboard, add a handler to it's completed event which starts the next storyboard...
And start it.
Obviously you will have storyboards which do something or other but here's how I attach anonymous completed eventhandlers to a storyboard:
Storyboard sb1 = new Storyboard();
Storyboard sb = new Storyboard();
sb.Duration = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 1);
sb.Completed += new EventHandler(delegate(object s, EventArgs a)
sb1.Begin();
sb.Begin();
Hope that helps.

Generate a Report Dynamically without User Intervention and Output to XML
Here's the scenario for which I am trying to find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a series of reports that the users generate from a UI by selecting the report, setting the values for a list of parameters, and then click a submit button. The report is generated in the UI for them to view. They can print it from here or export it to Excel.
They would like to be able to schedule a report to run daily without user intervention using a saved set of parameters. The system would run the report automatically and email it to a defined set of email addresses.
To do this, we need to have the report generated in a string or xml so a Java process can read it and email it.
I see that I can change a report's template to export:xml so I feel that it is possible. How can I export a report to XML without user intervention? Can the report template be changd dynamically at runtime? Ideally, I need some way to call this same report and have it output as a string data or xml to be used by a Java process that would store and generate the report for email.Hi Kumar,
From Program1 you are calling Program2, using submit syntax (inside Program1).
While using submit, if you have correctly filled up the selection screen of program2, then it will AUTOMATICALLY get executed, WITHOUT F8.
If there is any compulsary field in program 2, which does not get populated, then it will not run automatically, or unless some special code is written in program2.
If you do not want the output of Program2 on screen, then u can use
SUBMIT Program2 AND RETURN.
In that case, no selection screen (of program2) will appear and neither the output of program 2.

Amit Mittal.

Can You Play Multiple Playlists Without User Intervention
Can you stack and play multiple playlists? ie if you had three playlists of 50 songs each, could you pick all three, play all the songs in the first playlist, when it is finished move automatically to the second playlist play its songs then automatically move to the third without user intervention? And if so, can you play each of these in shuffle mode?
There's no "impromptu" method of doing so that I know of.
As far as un-impromptu methods (it's always fun inventing words), it will depend on whether you want to listen to this mega-playlist on an iPod or just with iTunes.
If it's just with iTunes, you can go to the File menu > New Folder command and create a new folder which we can call the Mega-Playlist folder. Drag the three playlists in question into that folder. When you select that folder and press Play, iTunes should go through all the songs.
If it's on an iPod, since Folders don't transfer over from iTunes, the only solution I know of would be to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes that will -
Match any of the following rules:
Playlist is the first playlist +
Playlist is the second playlist +
Playlist is the third playlist.
Synching this mega-playlist to your iPod will allow you to select it from the Playlist menu.
Shuffle mode would shuffle songs from all three playlists together, not shuffle songs from the first playlist before moving on to shuffling songs from the second playlist before shuffling songs from the third playlist. -

Spaces are switching without user intervention
I generally use 4 spaces and I've noticed on Mavericks apps will not stay ont he same space they are assigned too. I've also noticed designated spaces switching without any user intervention. For example "Desktop 3" and "Desktop 4" switch places and 4 will become 3 and visa versa. Has anyoen else encountered this?
I am also experiencing problems where I lose a route and I get disconnected from the internet. I get it back by issuing a command:
route get 192.168.2.1 (my wireless router)
route get 192.168.1.254 (my DSL modem)
However, I have no idea why this gets deleted in the first place.
if you discover an answer please do post it here.

HOw to download a file in background without user intervention?
Hello people,
A few hours ago I asked a couple of guys how to download a file to html. For that I am most thankful, and as mentioned this is a two part question, my other question is about how to proccess downloading the html in background and to automatically send it to a folder or other path. Without any user intervention.
Example, I run a long report to be downloaded in background. The lets say the next day, I can get the file in a folder. Thanks guys take care!Hello guys thanks for your help so far. I have been off again on again with this task because its more for future purposes than anything.
So far I have searched the net and stuff and decided that I will use WWW_LIST_TO_HTML since I want to download it the way it is. I am also going to use open/close dataset as many of you have mentioned.
SO far Im just trying it out with a simple report program to see its funcitonalities. My code goes like this.
<b>REPORT ZCCYT_COOL2 NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING LINE-COUNT 100 .

*DATA: ihtml TYPE TABLE OF w3html WITH HEADER LINE.

NOw the problem now though is that the file isnt downloading or saving at all. I cant seem to get what is wrong since the path does exist and the this seems the universal way to implement the program. Im guessing the problem lies in the file name, because everything seems to work fine. Hope to hear again soon sorry for not visiting this place sooner cuz I was buzy elsewhere. -
I have the file share created, and can manually map the drive. I have even created a batch file that will create the drive mapping. One step further, I used the following regedit to create the mapped drive:
Regedit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
add new string value:
value name: MapS
value data: c:\azurefileshare.bat
I have a scheduled task running a batch file running the net use command, and the drive is available, and I can create/delete files, so access is not an issue.
All works fine if I log onto the server, however, what I am trying to accomplish, is to have that drive mapped upon reboot without having a user log on. Checking the log file running the net use command when no one is logged on, I get the following:
Status Local Remote Network
Unavailable S: path of file share
Microsoft Windows Network
The command completed successfully.
New connections will be remembered.
Is there a way to accomplish this? Thanks in advance.Hello wdick,
Thank you for your response and getting back on this issue. I am sorry that the blog that I referred to was not available. I pretty much thought that you must be referring to the ‘File Services’ which is in preview yet. I recently had another user with a similar
question but currently, the users can access the files using only 'Interactive logon'. You can refer to this link:

Live Trace misses ETW events without user-specified context data
Hi there.
Currently using MessageAnalyzer for capturing and analyzing ETW debug logs. But in analysys grid I see only events *with* any extra event data and no events *without* it.
This events are ok:
<event symbol="someevent1" value="68" version="0" channel="MyApp/debug" level="win:Verbose" opcode="win:Info" template="Message" message="$(string.MyApp.event.68.message)"></event>
This events are totally missed:
<event symbol="someevent2" value="69" version="0" channel="MyApp/debug" level="win:Verbose" opcode="win:Info" message="$(string.MyApp.event.69.message)"></event>
There is no difference if "template" attribute omitted, empty string or targets empty template.
In Event Viewer and .elt traces captured with xperf I see *all* events, so there is problems with manifest or application itself. Is it feature of MessageAnalyzer or some kind of bug?
MessageAnalyzer 1.2 (build 4.0.7285.0), windows 8.
Thanks.This sounds similar to another bug report we received internally. In that case, the message are dropped by message analyzer, but TraceFmt and other tools show these missing events. Hopefully we can address in our next release.
Sorry for the inconvienience, and hopefully we can fix this soon.

Updates Install without user intervention
Hi All,
I am currently using WSUS and GPO's to push updates to our Windows 2008 R2 Servers. We just began doing this within the last couple of months and have created the GPO to "auto download updates and notify for install". The only other
relevant setting is "reschedule Automatic updates scheduled installations" is set to 15 minutes. Based on our setting of "notify for install", I would not expect this setting to have any effect.
Now twice in the last week, individual server administrators have been working on their servers, rebooted for whatever reason and then they report to me that Windows Updates are installing without their approval. Anyone have any ideas how this could
happen?
Thanks"I'm absolutely sure they didn't either. That's my exact point. The user does not "initiate" an installation of downloaded updates when the system is shutdown/restarted from the Start Menu -- it happens automatically since Windows 7 SP1."
If this is the case it explains what's happening and I have to stop this. What settings then can I use to install the approved updates only if the sys admin initiates it?
There are two ways to approach this:
Configure the WUA to "Notify for Download" (AUOption='2'). As a result, the sysadmin will need to perform two tasks: [1] Download the updates (at which time the Install Updates and Shutdown consideration is in effect, and then [2] Install the updates when
desired. This implies planning in advance to allow for the download time, and then planning for the installation event.
Use the Command Prompt to reboot the server: SHUTDOWN /R /T which will completely avoid the installation of any updates already downloaded.
Personally I would offer this argument for consideration: Why is a sysadmin rebooting a server without consideration for the fact that updates might be pending installation? Most organizations I know
only restart servers as a function of installing updates, usually during scheduled maintenance windows. Any other activities that require a system restart are deferred until that scheduled maintenance window.
A corollary to this is also: Why is a sysadmin unfamiliar with patch state of the system they're responsible for?

Saving a modified word document without user intervention
Dear Reader,
I have successfully opened a template (MS Word document), and
modified the bookmarks using DDE; however, now in attempting to
save the document without the user having to respond I am having
problems. I have attempted to use DDE.EXECUTE(ConvId,'[Save
()]',1000); but this drops into the VB debugger and nothing is
saved. If I remove the "[]" then an error occurs. If I attempt
to place something with the brackets () an error occurs within
the VB Debugger.
Looking for a simple coding example using DDE.
Thanks in advance.
GerryHi Tina,
I would first suggest installing all available updates to his/her system and Office installation, including updating the video card driver to the latest version. Then try again.
Also try to do a Windows clean boot to determine if the issue was caused by any applications/services conflicts:
