FM9: Limited Size of Structure View Panel?

Hi,
I'm using FM 9 on a workstation with two 22" monitors that are rotated 90 deg (portrait orientation). When I try to resize the structure view panel to fill the right monitor (as I could with FM7.2 and FM8) I can drag it to only about 40% of the screen.
Furthermore, there seems to be no way to fully expand this as with FM7.2 and FM8.
Is there any way to further resize the structure panel?
Thanks,
Matt
EDIT: I'm using FMV9 V255

I have done a significant amount of research and found surprisingly little information on the interwebs about this particular issue. I have learned to work around it (as described below), but if this is all that's keeping you from moving to FM9, I would HIGHLY recommend opening a support case with Adobe. (Unless RJ reads these boards and can do some "evangelizing" back to the devs on our behalf...?)
While I do hate the gnarly refresh problems that I have experienced within the structure view since first transferring all of our docs from unstructured to structured back when FM7 was first released, I have found that FM9 has brought much more flexibility for creating a viable and workable option. I have found that (for me) one portrait and one landscape monitor gives me the most flexibility. My left monitor is landscape, and my FrameMaker window is maximized on that desktop only. It holds my structure view (docked to the right) as well as my element list (docked directly to the left of that) and then my other pods (including my book pod) docked in two columns to the left of that. I then "undock" the document window and move it over to the right monitor (which is portrait) and maximize it.
(Quick Windows keyboard shortcut tip: if you're on Windows 7 or Vista, try holding the START button on your keyboard and using the arrow keys to maximize/de-maximize windows as well as move them left and right...even between monitors.)
Good luck finding a solution...but I hate the thought that this is the only thing keeping you from using FM9...I really do find it to be much more functional and stable than FM8, especially in a structured environment.

How to create a shortcut menu in the VIEW panel of Diadem

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to create your own shortcut menu in the VIEW Panel of Diadem?

Hi Ovidius,
What do you mean by "shortcut" menu? You can add a custom menu to the top of any DIAdem panel and fill it with whatever menu items you want. You can also add/customize any icons at the top or the left of any DIAdem panel and program them to do what you want. There is additionally limited support in DIAdem 2010 and prior versions for adding custom context menus to VIEW areas. We are looking into expanding this support for DIAdem 2011.

Is there any limitation in xtract structure,while doing enhancement.

is there any limitation in xtract structure, while doing enhancement.

Hello Satish
There is no limitation as such defined by SAP but let me teel you one thing, if your extract structure contains a lot of enhancement than it s better you go for using two extractor and then use Multiprovider for viewing all the data....basically when you enhance structure you customer exits which slower down the performence....
For example you have 0FI_GL_4 extructure and want to see the payment detail by some SD attributes like sales office divisoion..bla bla bla...if small enhancement is there you can include these field in 0FI_GL_4 extract structure but if it is significant than you should create another extractor for getting SD related data and merge them in BW side in Multiprovider
Thanks

I want to expand the size of the history panel

I just upgraded to v. 34 from v. 17.0.1. In the old version, I could open History as a full panel, and see the sites and dates in chronological order. Now, although I have the "View > By date and site" option selected, I see only the sites. Also, when I try to expand the size of the History panel by pausing the cursor over the edge, the double-arrow icon does nothing.

There is a minimum (min-width: 14em;) and maximum (max-width: 36em;) for the sidebar and you can't drag the resizer icon beyond that limit.
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#sidebar { min-width:0px !important; max-width:none !important; }
</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
*Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
*Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
*Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
*Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css. Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file

I need to change the size of the view for easier reading. Is there a way to make the page view larger without affecting the form?

Hi Guys, good product beginning however it's not as good as many of the other Adobe product's workspaces. I cannot change the size of the view during form design work, so it's a visual strain to work in Forms Central. Is there a way to modify the view (not affecting the width, size or font when presented on website or on paper)?

In Photoshop CC 2014 (Windows only) it is possible to use a setting of 200% to scale the UI. On some monitors it improves readability and on others it cuts part of the application screen. To give it a try go to:
Edit >> Preferences >> Experimental Features
Put a check-mark in the box and click OK
Then close PS and re-start for the change to take effect.

Hiding XML elements in the structure view – scripting influence to the structure view?

Hi
Is there a way to hide specific XML elements (really the elements and not the attributes) in the structure view?
I am asking this question to know if it is possible to influence the structure view by scripting.
Many elements are indeed used as a kind of help for constructions which have nothing to do with the actual contents especially in the case of tables.
You inflate the the structure view unnecessarily and the author will lose track of the real contents. It would be nice if there was a possibility to hide those help construction elements.
Thank you for any hints.
Regards

Hello Apollo,
There is a way to hide elements from the Structure View (one such method is offered by the free AXCM plug-in). What happens when you use AXCM (or other methods to hide elements) is that the elements get wrapped into hidden content. This might make the structure view less complex for your authors, but has a number of disadvantages and dangers.
1. The structure is normally invalidated, as the helper elements are usually required.
2. Accidentally deleting hidden content may make the invalidation permanent and render your documents useless.
It is NOT good practice to hide elements from authors in the structure view. Instead, you should either teach authors about the structure, or let them work in the Author View while adding sufficiently clear formatting to show them the underlying structure. In some cases, it might be better to create an authoring structure which is automatically transformed into the required full structure using an XSLT or other processing step. I have created a couple of such environments and they work fine. It just depends on the difference between the structure required for further processing and the structure that would be optimal for your authors (which in turn depends on the level at which your authors are experienced in working with structured content).
I hope this helps you solve your problem without having to tweak the structure view.
Kind regards
Jang

How to capture "show on (Viewer) panel" via the SDK

I was able to capture other parameters such as - "Prompt text", "Default Value", "AllowCustomCurrentValues" -- from [[ReportClientDocument-DataDefControllerParameterField-DataDefinition-ParameterFields-ParameterField ]]
But I am not able to figure out where "show on (Viewer) Panel" resides in the SDK.
Thanks in advance
JM

Hi Jam,
While using RASSDK to retrieve and set "Show on (Viewer) panel" property of a Crystal Report parameter, we can use methods on ParameterField class.
Create an object of ReportClientDocument class for ex- ReportClientDoc and try the code
ReportClientDoc.getDataDefController().getDataDefinition.getParameterFields() (It returns Fields object which is collection on parameters).
Iterate through this collection and cast each individual object to ParameterField class.
- Call getIsEditableOnPanel().
It returns true if in CR Designer Show on (Viewer) panel is set to editable for the parameter.
It returns false if "Show on (Viewer) panel" is set to Read Only.
- Call getIsShownOnPanel().
It returns false if in CR Designer Show on (Viewer) panel is set to "Do not Show" and true otherwise.
Thanks,
Shilpi

How do I change the the artwork size in grid view?

How do I change the the artwork size in grid view? I see that if you select view > view options when in artists it will give you a slider to adjust artwork size (although not by much) but there is no option to do this in Movies or TV shows... why couldn't they just keep the universal slider at the top of the page like before!? I know they want it to look more like the iOS itunes but this isn't an iPad!!! I have the screen space!!
Also why is it that EVERY time they release a new iTunes they get rid of the grey background for grid view? :@

Hello,
My understanding is that Firefox uses the global printer settings. I am not familiar with the Windows 8 interface, but can you change the printer settings in its Devices and Printers and see if it changes the default for Firefox as well?

Can you please help?
thanks

Try queryBean.getPersonalizeGoButtonName()

JDeveloper 10 - Go to Source in Structure View quit working

Hi,
I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.4.0.4270. After firing it up this morning , I find that "Got to Source" in the Structure View is not working. Double-clicking on any method (or right-clicking and selecting "Go to Source") has no effect. The cursor stays where it's at in the editor window instead of jumping to the selected method.
Has anyone seen this before? Any suggested fixes (besides reinstalling)?
Thanks,
--Rob Roberts

The problem seems to be the same one discussed in this thread: StackOverflowError on JDev 10.1.3 startup
The solution mentioned there fixed it for me.

View Panel : Change color of data values in channel table

Hi,
Is there a way wherein I can change the color of a particular data value or data block in a channel in the VIEW panel and can this be done programtically? I am using DIAdem 2010.
Looking forward for your response
Thanks in advance
Priya

Hi Pria,
There is no way to change the color of various cells in a VIEW table. This can be done (for the text color, not the cell background) in a REPORT table with the help of a customer-defined UserCommand. I can send you an example of this if having the display in REPORT would help.
If you had a newer version of DIAdem, you could embed a SUDialog in a VIEW area, and this SUDialog could have an XTable control that would enable you to show this type of display-- not easy, and not with DIAdem 10.2, but at least something to consider.

Suppress XML Structure view

Hi,
May I know the SuppressedWidgetID to hide the XML structure view?
IsStructureViewShowing=kFalse;
I need to hide XML Structure view.
Kindly advise me.

Senthil Kumar V

Ok lets start from basics
go to CN41 and enter a project with std PS info profile 000000000000001
if you click o the DB profile you will have basic setting 000000000000001 etc
this gives us the project structure
Now in transaction OPUR create a view for PC hierarchy
Z00000000001 - whatever description
select PS hier type 2 - Profit Ctr via set
I think you have done this
In this configuration there is a group name - you need to enter the profit centre hierarchy group name from your system
this group must exist in your system check using transaction KCH3 to display group - if this is not entered correctly you will get the exact error you have got - I have been able to replicate in my system
Now run CN41 change DB profile project view from 00000000001 to Z0000000001

Apply XSLT while importing the xml to the selected node in structure view

Hi All,
 Got the solution,
 UIDRef documentUIDRef = ::GetUIDRef(activeContext->GetContextDocument());
 InterfacePtr<IDocument> document(documentUIDRef, UseDefaultIID());
 InterfacePtr<IXMLImportOptionsPool> prefsPool( document->GetDocWorkSpace(), UseDefaultIID() );
 InterfacePtr<IK2ServiceRegistry> serviceRegistry(gSession, UseDefaultIID());
 InterfacePtr<IK2ServiceProvider> serviceProvider(serviceRegistry->QueryServiceProviderByClassID(kXMLImportMatchMakerSignal Service, kXMLThrowAwayUnmatchedRightMatchMakerServiceBoss));
 InterfacePtr<IXMLImportPreferences> prefs(serviceProvider, IID_IXMLIMPORTPREFERENCES);
 XMLImportPreferencesInitializer initializer(prefs, prefsPool);
 bool16 prefBool = prefs->GetNthPrefAsBool(0);
 prefs->SetNthPref(0, kTrue);
The above code set the import option "Delete elements, frames, and content that do not match imported XML"
Thanks

Setting font size for code view

On my 19" desktop monitor the text size in code view is easy enough to read, but on my hi resolution 17" laptop it is really, really tiny. I can't find any prefs setting or another way to make the font for code view larger. Is there such a setting somewhere? (Yes, I can change the resolution settings for the laptop but this is not preferable because the screen is blurry at anything other than the native 1920 x 1200 pixels.) Thanks.

Play around with the preferences shown above to see what works for you. I changed mine recently to use Consalas font and it's much better than the default :-)
