Extension Builder 3 Custom Panels code snippets ?

Hello there!
I used to make custom Photoshop panels with Adobe Configurator 4 but since the last CC2014 updates
the support for flash based panels stopped.
Now i'm trying to make HTML5 based panels with Extension Builder 3 but it's very difficult to get something
usefull as a non-programmer. I did manage to get Photoshop CC2014 to see the panels by modifying some paths and
version information in Eclipse as described on the Adobe Labs pages but that's it. The only code examples I can find are
button's which can show a message box...
My question is, are there any lists or code snippets to access the tool buttons, menu items etc. to put into the code so I can
"drag and drop" (copy and paste) things into my custom panel ?
I can't find any information on how to access these UI elements.
I hope somebody can help me with this, any help will be appreciated!
With best regards,
Roland

Inserting html code snippets

I'm using Contribute 3 (version 3.11) and cannot insert html code snippets with this. But I'm rather confused as to what I need to upgrade to to do this.
On the Adobe Help Center webpage it states that " Advanced Adobe Contribute users can use Adobe Contribute CS3 to add custom HTML code snippets to Contribute pages".
So what is the difference between my version Contribute 3 and Contribute CS3? And I know that there is now CS4 also, so assume that would be even better?
I've spent quite a bit of time on the net trying to get to the bottom of this, and hope that someone will take pity on me and enlighten me!
Thanks in advance.

Joe, I'm told it should be in the Insert drop down menu if it has been enabled by the Administrator. Is there someone else involved with your site who could have disabled this function? I know that similar things have happened to me in the past.
Anyway ... I have some good news to report. I downloaded the free trial of Contribute CS4 from the Adobe website yesterday. It took over an hour to download and I wasn't very optimistic that I would be able to get it to work but I did. There is indeed an "Insert html snippet" function and I have produced a test page with a booking engine on it as a result of inserting some code. I have not yet tested it with audio and video files. I will have the use of the free trial for 30 days so will be able to carry out some more tests before taking the plunge and upgrading.
If you have the minimum system requirements I would say it is worth your giving this a try, Joe

Unloading Module Closing Multiple Custom Panels

I have a requirement where in same screen can be openned N times, i have written a custom panel (module loader inside it) with a close buttonn, to load the same module multiple times. The problem is when i close one panel all the panels are closed. The reason it is closing all the panels is i have included the removeChild inside unload tag of the module loader.
I tried changing the "ml.unloadModule();" to "parent.removeChild(this);" then i acheive what is needed close only the panel that is closed, but the module it not unloaded. Is there any way i can acheive closing only a single panel (this is closed) and unload the module.
Below is the custom panel code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Panel xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                     xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                     xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" width="436" height="340">
          <fx:Script>
                    <![CDATA[
                              [Bindable]public var url:String;
                              protected function button1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
                                        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                                        ml.unloadModule();
                    ]]>
          </fx:Script>
          <fx:Declarations>
                    
          </fx:Declarations>
          <s:ModuleLoader x="10" y="9" id="ml" url="{url}" width="404" height="277">
                    <s:unload>
                              if(parent != null)
                              parent.removeChild(this);
                    </s:unload>
          </s:ModuleLoader>
          <s:Button x="411" y="-23" width="17" height="16" label="Button"
                                click="button1_clickHandler(event)" icon="assets/icon_close_down.png"/>
</s:Panel>

Instead of using an unload handler, just call both unloadModule and removeChild in the click handler.

How to create custom panel icon using Extension Builder 3?

How does one go about adding a custom icon for extension panels created with Extension Builder 3?
The default icon looks Lego-like (see below)
I'd like to replace the generic icon with an image that can visually identifies the panel even when it's collapsed.

Found it.
In Eclipse, choose Window > Open Perspective > Other > Adobe Extension Builder 3.
Right-click your project and select Adobe Extension Builder 3 -> Bundle Manifest Editor.
This editor allows you to change the properties of your extension
Bundle Manfest Editor > Extension tab (at the bottom) > User Interface tab (back at the top). Used .png images and it worked.

Code Snippets in MEF Editor extension VS2012

I am trying to implement code snippets with a MEF editor extension, I followed the walkthrough "Implementing Code Snippets" from the link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff926100(v=vs.110).aspx
The implementation is based on the walkthrough Displaying Statement Completion. This feature works fine.
The first section of "Implementing Code Snippets" is "Creating and Registering Code Snippets" which does not work. At the end of the section is the step 8:
Build and run the project. In the experimental instance of Visual Studio that starts when the project is run, the snippet you just registered
should be displayed in the Code Snippets Manager under
the TestSnippets language.
There are no errors, but the Code Snippets Manager does not display the TestSnippets language, and as a consequence the snippets are not there. I have been stuck for a few weeks now with this, and could not find resources to understand the issue.
Any idea on how to overcome this issue will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I have to say that I can reproduce your issue on my machine via the steps provided in the walkthrough. However, I finally add that code snippets to C# language not that custom TestSnippets language.
Here are some modifications which are made on my side, maybe these listed items can be helpful for you to trouble-shoot your issue:
1). Delete the following line from the test.snippet file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
2). Edit the test.snippet file, set <Code Language="CSharp">
3). Edit the SnippetIndex.xml file, set <Language Lang="CSharp" Guid="{694DD9B6-B865-4C5B-AD85-86356E9C88DC}">
4). Edit the SnippetUtilities class, and set
internal const string LanguageServiceGuidStr = "694DD9B6-B865-4C5B-AD85-86356E9C88DC";
5). Then build and run your project again. And this time you should get the snippet under C# language.
Thanks.

I am trying to save a custom code snippet in Flash CC and it does not save, any ideas why?

I am trying to save a custom code snippet in Flash CC and it does not save, any ideas why? I am using Windows 8.1 with Flash CC.
I even when into the "Edit Code Snippet XML" and added a Custom folder and a custom template. Then I went back to add the code snippet again and it still did not work.

Questions about migrating Configurator 4 PS panel to Extension Builder 3.

Hello,
I am in the process of creating a set of Photoshop tools that I'm hoping to release on Adobe Exchange in the very near future. The tools are a set of javascript files that are executed through a simple panel interface consisting of 4 buttons. There is also a logo at the top of the panel that links to a tutorial section on my website (kind of like the Adobe Paper Texture Pro panel if you're familiar with it).
I initially created the panel using Configurator 4 (RIP). Unfortunately, I only recently found out about Adobe's plans to remove Flash based Extension Panel functionality. I've switched over to Extension Builder 3, so I can submit my Extension to Adobe for approval as soon as possible. The main issue is that I am not a programmer. I'm learning, and I'm actually quite pleased with the results so far, but there have been plenty of headaches along the way. As for the migration to Extension Builder 3, I've been able to work around or find solutions to most of the issues, but there are still a few that I'm hoping someone can shed some light on:
How do you create a 'fly-out' menu for a panel? I wasn't sure how to do this in Configurator 4 either, but at least they provided an 'About' menu option above the standard 'Close' and 'Close Tab' menu options.
This is minor, but when dragging the panel around, I noticed that the contents of the panel disappear and you only see the gray background color. The panel from Configurator didn't do this (you could see the contents at all time). Is there a way around this?
As mentioned above, I have a logo that used to link to the tutorial for the tool on my website. I searched around, and it seems like something that is simply not possible to do anymore. This is unfortunate, because I wanted to provide users with easy access to the tutorial page. Is it possible to open a new panel from another panel? That way, I could at least have the tutorial open as a new panel within Photoshop. (I just noticed a potential answer to this in another thread - though it may be slightly over my head)
I took a look at the HTML5, ADOBE authored Adobe Layer Renamer, but that just makes me more nervous because it has the dragging problem AND no additional fly-out menus. Ideally, I'd prefer it if users didn't have to open Adobe Exchange just to see instructions or information about my Extension.
Sorry for the lengthy post, but I appreciate any assistance with these issues!

Hello Lee,
My name is Jeff.   I am similar to your situation where I am not really much of a programmer, but using scripts exported to .jsx files from actions in PS, and I was using Configurator to build a really massive (hundreds of buttons/scripts accordians etc) panel in 3.0, released it publicly, but retracted because of certain issues and then finally realizing I need to migrate it all over to HTML5 and Extension Builder 3.
I am also at about the same point as you... although I've been trying out the jquery frameworks to build my tabs and other GUI elements... figured out last week how to use custom images for the buttons etc.
I don't know if I am going to need a panel-flyout menu option but I am trying to figure out how to put in regular text-box or pull-down menus... in configurator I found a neat trick to drag and drop accordian-containers into each other... then it acts like a pull-down menu when you have buttons in there.     The problem is html5 and extensionbuilder 3 do not work like this... I can't figure out how to make nested tabs yet or have a GUI pull-down or text-box actually send information to my .jsx files and change them.
Let's keep this forum active and help each other, we all have great ideas to contribute to the extensability of these long-cherished tools and it should not be hard... or else we're all just going to go back to using actions, lol.      For now, I have avoided some issues in configurator, still exporting my panels but with the upcoming release of non-flash-support in PS then people won't be able to use them unless they had the previous PS installed already.      However, you can create your own installers to place the extensions into the right folders, you don't need the .ZXP or exchange to publish or sell your extensions, it's only for a pathway that helps us all to legitamize our projects and become producers through the exchange portal or add-ons or whatever it ends up being.   But personally I am using a freeware program that makes simple installers and having it place the folders into the extension panels folders... then when PS opens there is the extension -- that is all that Extension manager is doing... taking your ZIP (ZXP) and unzipping it to the right folders.
What upsets me is how easy they made it with configurator for me to make a very advanced panel... then pulled the rug out and now it is going to take a lot of work and learning for me to understand how to build the same GUI panels you see attached but in HTML 5.... I will try to share and help out especially with people like us where we have built something in configurator and now we need to port/migrate it to html5/extension builder 3.     Easier said than done. :/

Is Extension Builder 2.1 using Flash compatible with Photoshop CC also in the future? (There are speculations, that it will be switched off, what will destroy my investment in that code)

I have codes a lot of stuff using Extension Builder 2.1 using Flash technology to be compatible with Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC.
There are speculations, that the support for this would be removed in Photoshop CC. This would destroy my investment in this code and my customers would not be able to use my products anymore, when they are using Photoshop CC.
Is there any workaround planed for customers using Photoshop CC to be able to run extension build with Extension Builder 2.1 and Flashbuilder 2.6 also in the future?

Can you supply a link?

Build error when using custom error codes

When I try to build my application using custom error codes I receive the following error:

This only occurs the first time I attempt to build my application. If I build again immediately after receiving the error, everything works fine. My custom error codes were created using the provided editor, and I have included the file in my project. I have also checked the "Copy error codes" box in the advanced build specification settings.

Hi Donovan,
The attached project is giving me the error previously discussed. Thanks for your help.

InDesign Panels created with Extension Builder 3 get collapsed upon relaunch of InDesign

InDesign Panels created with Extension Builder 3 get collapsed upon relaunch of InDesign and you have to corner drag them open to see the panel. This bug is very annoying. Does anyone know a work around?

I found how to fix this.
There is a hidden XML file called manifest.xml located in you project folder here:
../.staged-extension/CSXS/manifest.xml
In that file there is a section called <Geometry>
By default there is an entry for size. You can add sections for min and max panel size values.
<MaxSize>
     <Height>enter max height size here</Height>
     <Width>enter max width size here</Width>
</MaxSize>
<MinSize>
     <Height>enter min height size here</Height>
     <Width>enter min width size here</Width>
</MinSize>

How to manually add custom code snippets to Xcode?

I have a lot of code snippets made for programming. In the past, when I used MS Visual Studio , I could simply add my own snippets , but in Xcode I can't find where to add custom codes.

Code snippet for custom scheduler

Hi,
I need to write a custom scheduler as per one of the solutions present in doc in metalink (doc id:1109539.1). Few lines of information in the doc is as below:
A better solution is to:
1. Create a custom scheduled task.
2. The task should run every 10 minutes, and should do a simple call to the server using the singleton instance.
3. This will assure that the instance is kept alive, hence it will not timeout.
As per the above solution, what exactly is meant by "do a simple call to the server using the singleton instance". Does anyone help me to provide a code snippet to do the same.
Thanks
DPK

That Metalink ID is not related to your requirement.
It is a workaround if someone is using Singleton Pattern in their code.
If they are using Singleton then session will expire after some time and it throws error that's why they are suggesting to use that instance by creating a schedule task after every 10 min so that instance should be alive. It's no where related to your use case. Don't use Singleton Pattern in your code.
You can read here about Singleton

Extension Builder 1.5 - how to quit from code

In EB 1.5 how can I quit my own extension from code?
Thanks for your help,

Hi mlavie,
I am glad to hear that you have evaluated CSExtension Builder and thinking to purchase it. There are two ways to do this.
The one is what Davide suggested above. You need to subscribe to the Adobe Enterprise Devloper Program at this link: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/aedp.html
The other option would be to purchase it once it becomes available on the Adobe Store. Until then, you are free to use the fully functional trial version. Check out the Trial FAQ here: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/creativesuite/extension-builder/cs-extension- builder-trial-faq.pdf
