"Exit" button used in multiple sequence frames

I am hoping there is a more elegant way to do this...
See the attached VI for a vastly-simplified program that typifies what I am trying to accomplish. Basically, I've got one button that I want available in multiple sequence frames. In this case, I have used an "Exit" button. When pressed, the program passes through any remaining sequence frames until it ends. The final frame "unclicks" the "Exit" button. This final frame is necessary because I had to set the mechanical action of the Exit button to "Switch When Released" because I used local variables in all sequence frames after the first one.
Is there a way I can accomplish the same functionalities of this program without using local variables and/or while setting the mechanical action of the "Exit" switch to "Latch When Released?" I am specifically looking for solutions which will work in multiple frames of a stacked sequence structure (I realized there are ways to turn the three lights on without using a stacked sequence structure, but I am not interested in doing so).
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

hi dia,
So many discussion was finished regarding this multiple Event structure. In your code totally 3 event structures you are using. But in a program only one Event structure is enough to operate properly. Because in LabVIEW only one event queue is there in built. So if you use more than one event structure LabVIEW will got confused and it will get queued up, even though there is no state and it will be masked some time. That's why your code taking so much of time to exit. Some times it seems like hang...
Try this VI...

How to hide the "EXIT" button on the ESS Personal inf. iViews

Hello,
We are using SAP ECC 6.0 + SAP EP 7.0 + ESS 1.0 (latest Releases).
In the ESS iViews (Java WD) for Personal information (Adresse, Bank, Family, etc. there is the Button "Exit"..
Does any have any Idea where and how to hide this "Exit" Button in the iView/Java-WD?
Many Thanks,
Nazih

Hi Chris,
thanks for your reply.
If you mean to hide the button using the iView/WD Personalisation by rightclick on the iView in PCD and then Review, well yes i know this and i have tried this already before and we were able to hide some not required input fields in the Webdynpro, but we were not able to find and to hide the "EXIT" Button using the personalisation..!!?? you know why?
Why to hide the Exit button, i will tell you why, in the iView for maintainig the ESS Personal Information -> e.g. Adresse --> Edit Adresse View (Roadmap view No. 2) --> when User click on the Exit Button --> This will open new browser Window with ESS... ---> This second Browser Window (Pop up) would confuse the User, since he already have an opened window, so the Customer mean why open new window, since the user can simply click the Button Back and so his data are also saved..
How can we manage to control the behaviour of the Button, so the iView is closed safety without that new Pop-up windows are opened...
Many Thanks,
Nazih

Exit button on ESS iViews

Hi,
We have ESS deployed on EP7.0, so we are using the WebDynpro version of ESS. Now we want to redirect the navigation to our own customized iView when click "Exit" button on any of the ESS iView, for example , address iView. I guess this should be controlled in the pcui_gp xssutil component, am I right? Can anyone give me some hints on where I can make this modification? Thanks a lot

Trying to create multiple sequence window

I'm new to swing, and I have a project in which I need to create multiple sequence frame swing program.
To give you a better idea, I'm trying to create something that's similar to a self checkout shopping cart expect there is a frame where I need users to login. I already have a MySQL database setup for that.
Once the user passes the login frame, I need another frame that will show up to displace information, and multiple other frames to come and go.
I learn really well by examples, so are there any place I can find example of this. Thank you

What I need is a transition between different layout. I need a layout say a login layout to finish (run successfully) and it transition to a different layout.
I looked through the totorials and didn't see anything about transitions.
I don't need need something like a desktop with multiple frames being displated at the same time. I need a sequence of frames
Ah never mind.. cardmanager is what I need

Exit button is not popping Quit/cancel options in application (.exe)

Hi,
I have created a VI with Exit button using run time menu option
When I run same VI and click on Exit button, it popups a message with Quit or cancel options
Then I created .exe for the same VI and executed, when i click on exit button it is directly quitting labview with out any popup message
Can some one help me in creating .exe with quit/cancel popup message
Thanks in advance

Oh, you are calling the LabVIEW IDE's Exit. Do not do that. With that you are aborting any running VIs (ie, not letting them stop on their own) and shutting down LabVIEW.
I recommend you use an Event Structure to handle the pressing of the exit menu item and doing whatever you need to inside that event case.

Is there a way to select multiple sequences and batch export them using the same settings in CS6?

I am a current Final Cut Pro7 user and looking to switch over to Premiere Pro CS6. We edit approx. 100 short (15 sec.) videos daily, and then select them all at the end of the day and batch export them over night using the same export recipe for all. I have having trouble finding an easy way to do this in Premiere pro CS6, as command +E is grayed out if i select more than one sequence at a time.
so far, it appears that i have to select each video individually and manually set encoding recipe and export location for each.... Not only would this be terribly time consuming, but it leaves a lot of room for error and missed videos. I thought i would be able to send all of the sequences to Adobe Media Encoder, but i dont see that option either.
Any suggestions/
thanks!

Open Media Encoder and add your Sequences:
File > Add Premiere Pro Sequence
Navigate to your Premiere Project and select it in the list.
You can then select multiple Sequences from the Project (Ctrl+Click)
and load them all at once into Media Encoder and apply
the same encoding preset to all Sequences at the same time.

Can't uninstall and can't use minmise/maximise/exit buttons

I can't use the minmise/maximise/exit buttons top right, so I reset FF on the Troubleshooting page. That hasn't worked so I thought I'd try a new fresh download. I figure it's best to uninstall the exisiting version first so I went to control panel/add & remove but when I hit remove it flashes briefly and does nothing else i.e. no uninstall. I tried going through My Computer/Programs but clicking on the uninstall helper does nothing. Grateful for any help.

Using onPress multiple times on different frames

Hi,
I have a menu file (cs3) for navigation on a web site. It's
pretty basic, as I am new to using flash extensively. I always try
to do it all with JS.
There is a list of 5 "sections" (buttons), and when one is
clicked a sub-menu fades in beside it. These new buttons, however,
do not work. All buttons use a onPress function . I have studied
this some and read something about parent and child movieclips, but
there aren't any mc's in my file. Not sure if this can apply to
buttons as well...
Basically, I just need the second sets of buttons to work. I
will attach code for them. The AS is in a separate keyframe from
all of the buttons but on the same timeline frame number. All links
are opened within an iframe on the same page.
Any help would be appreciated!

It is most likely (I'm not certain from the description) that
the 'sub-buttons' are a 'child' MC of the main button? if so, the
'on' handler for the 'main' button will override any handlers
attached to 'child' buttons within it. the only solution is to use
a hitTest method for either the 'parent' button or the 'child'
buttons, OR separate the two MCs and use the 'main' button to bring
a MC of the 'sub' buttons to the Stage.

A frame failed to render while using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously

Hello fellow AE users:
I've read other threads which deal with this issue, however they don't seem to be exactly what I'm experiencing so I'm starting a new thread. I did do several hours of due diligence by research others' handling of this issue, so I'm not just blindly reposting this question without having done some legwork.
I'm getting this message when rendering one of my compositions:
"After Effects warning: A frame failed to render while using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously. Allocating more memory to the background processes in Memory & Multiprocessing Preferences may fix this problem. (26 :: 142)"
First, some background on what led up to this. I've built an entirely new system from scratch based on the new Intel 5960X 8-Core processor, with 64GB of RAM on an Asus X99-Deluxe Mobo.Brand new install of Windows 8.1, and brand new install of After Effects CC (latest versions as of this posting) and all of my plug-ins (mostly Red Giant, also all updated to current versions.) I have a new video card in this system (Gigabyte GTX 980 G1 Gaming) however this issue also happened with my old 4GB GTX 680 as well, which was in the original i7-950 system (see below.)
I've set up Multiprocessing preferences for 6GB reserved for system, 8 CPUs reserved for other applications which leaves "Actual CPUs that will be used: 8", with each CPU having a 6GB RAM allocation. That's 8x6=46G, leaving 18GB free for the operating system, which should be more than enough.
One could speculate that there is some plug-in that is using too much memory, or something weird with QuickTime or H.264 decoding (the source is one Canon 5D mk II H.264 .mov and one jpeg file). However, this issue did *NOT* happen on my old system, which was 4-core Intel i7-950, 24GB RAM, running the same version of After Effects CC and my plug-ins, and with only 3GB/Thread of ram allocated instead of the 6GB/Thread i'm using here.
I've simply loaded the old project on the new install and attempted to render. I have not changed any settings. I DID do the thing where you hold CTRL-SHIFT-ALT (or something like that) to reset all of the preferences when loading AE just in case that was the issue.
So, why would this be able to render using multiple processes on my old box with only 3GB/thread, while it will NOT render on this new system with double that, 6GB/thread allocated?
Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide that would be helpful to debug this.
Many thanks in advance for your help!

Thank you very much for the quick reply, Todd. I'll give that a shot. There also seems to be a problem with the Red Giant Cosmo plug-in. I get Cosmo engine initialization failures, but it's intermittent.

Using FCP server to batch export multiple sequences from a FCP file

Hi... I am researching to see if FCP Server will be useful for our work flow.
We are creating multiple sequences in one FCP project file, and I want to be able to drop that .fcp project file into a folder and have a "watch and respond" action on the folder that takes all the sequences in that project file and applies a compressor preset to each sequence inside the project file without me having to open the file and select all sequences and batch them through compressor manually.
If this is possible then FCPS is going to save us a lot of man hours... does anyone know from experience if this is possible? I know you can take a QT file and do this, but I am not sure if you can do this with a project file!
Thank you
Barry

We work with FCP projects that have 7 - 10 sequences. When the day is done we do a quick export current settings and drag them into the production that contains the fcp project. W also flag them "ready for review" and "send to the web app". Works great for me and costs about 2 minutes. Just about the time it takes to put on your coat and say goodbye to everybody in our little editshop.

How can I use TrueSequenceFactory with multiple sequences

In the post "How to use existing Oracle sequences using KODO" answered
by Marc Prud'hommeaux a "sample code" was given. But seems to me that
example will only work with a single Oracle sequence for the entire
system. Is this right?
How can I use TrueSequenceFactory with primary-keys and their
respective existing sequences? Can you (SolarMetric guys) provide me a
sample code?

The problem is that you are using application-identity. When you
specify an objectid-class, we treat is automatically as application
identity. To resolve this, I would recommend removing both the
objectid-class and identity-type atributes from your class. With
"objectid-class" in place, we asssume that you wil take care of identity.

I'm using Kodo 2.4.0, Oracle 9i, JBoss 3.0.4, the Kodo jars are in the

Well, I'll show what I have...
This is the script of my table:
CREATE TABLE LINEUP_VOYAGE (
VOYAGEID NUMBER (10) NOT NULL,
VESSEL_NAME VARCHAR2 (1000) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT PK_LINEUP_VOYAGE

This is an excerpt of my .jdo file:

identity-type="datastore">
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="table" value="LINEUP_VOYAGE"/>
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="sequence"

<field name="vesselName">
<extension vendor-name="kodo" key="data-column"

</field>

</class>
As you can see, the "id" field is commented.
And this is my class:
package br.com.fertimport.entity;
import java.util.*;
public class LineupVoyage {
     private String vesselName;
//     private long id;
//     public LineupVoyage(long id) { this.id = id; }
//     public long getId() { return id; }
//     public void setId(long id) { this.id = id; }
     public String getVesselName() { return vesselName; }
     public void setVesselName (String vesselName) { this.vesselName =
vesselName; }
The "id" attribute is commented.
Now the questions...
To use ClassSequenceFactory must the identity-type of my entities be
application or datastore?
Is the "objectid-class" parameter required in this case?
As you see, all references to the "id" property are commented. Can I
use this property to represent my object id?
If not, how can I identify my object with something like a long?
The last question is related to my architecture: one VM with the EJBs
(entity and session) and another VM with the web classes and JSPs,
connected by a session facade. I don't want to use any Kodo or JDO stuff

You can use pretty much any two or multiple button mouse on a Mac, right out of the box.

How do i trigger a button using keyboardstrokes

hello,
im trying to trigger my button using keyboard strokes. For example pressing ALT + S would trigger my addbutton.
and like A would trigger my exit. I tried using some keylisteners to my Jbuttons but cant seem to get it to work.
Am i heading in the right direction using keylisteners to try to activate my buttons or should i be using some else?
Any tips on how to use keyboardstrikes to trigger my buttons would be much appreciated.
this is some of my code. i excluded some parts such as my JLIST
if you would rather see the whole code let me know

thank u so much. I put Mnemonics on nearly all my Jbuttons but when i press a key. It does not trigger the actionPerformed event.
i changed my code to this
i still have issues when pressing e the gui does not close.
any tips on how to fix this?
exitButton=new JButton("Exit");
            exitButton.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_E);
             exitButton.addActionListener(this);
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
             Object source = e.getSource();
             if (source == exitButton)
                 System.exit(0);

Horizntal Gallery with Multiple viewable frames

I want to have a section in the body of the website that scrolls left to right but has multiple image frames revealed at the same time.
I'm trying to emulate something similar to this website:
Cultural » Helix
I know that you can create a slide show with one image that scrolls with a click-able button, is there a way to edit that widget to get closer to the look I'm going for?
Thanks!

A workaround:
1 - set each gallery to be hidden from your primary gallery.
2 - create an iWeb site with a welcome page to your galleries.
3 - create a separate iWeb site for each user and password protect that site.
4 - in each protected site add a blank page and use one of the methods in this demo page, iPhoto/MobileMe Galleries, to add the hidden sites you want that user to have access to. You won't be able to use the widget method however since the galleries will be hidden.
5 - on your welcome page put a hyperlink for each user pointed to the protected site for that user.
Granted it's a hassle but it's one way you can give particular users access to specific galleries. Being hidden a viewer cannot go to any other gallery.
