Generating many events for a dial control

I want to fire events when the value of dial control increases to say 10, 20,30 so on. But I can only have one event per control. Is it possible to achieve this
Kind Regards
Austin
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Austin,
If I'm interpreting your request correctly I think your best bet is to just use the value changed event and then use a case structure to determine which value the dial has changed to.
Something like this:
Hope this helps.

Problems with Mouse Down event for a picture control embedded in tab.

I noticed that when trying to get a Mouse Down event for a picture control that the Mouse Down will not be 'fired' if the picture is embedded in a tab control. It also appears that this problem exists for other controls (I only tested a slider in addition to the picture). It isn't much of an issue for me now as I can just poll the mouse property of the picture control, but the Mouse Down event has information that I may want access to in my next software revision (button pressed, and Alt mod). I could do that by handling the Mouse Down event for the tab itself and checking to see if the the mouse property isn't -1, -1 for the picture, but that seems a little bit too kludgy (sp?) to me and wouldn
't address the issue with other control types. Any chance of this being addressed by a patch sometime in the next couple of months???

The problem I reported above was in LV 6.1.
As a work-around, I used the mouse down on the tab control and did the math to decide if the picture was clicked.
I have been told that this was fixed in LV 7.0. I can not confirm.
You could call NI and ask about the service request number I cited above.
I hope this helps,

Registering events for own GUI controls

Hi,
I refer to the blog
<a href="/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/09/01/using-net-windows-controls-in-the-abap-control-framework:///people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/09/01/using-net-windows-controls-in-the-abap-control-framework
In the mean time I was successful regarding the display of the media player inplace in the SAPGUI. But I didn't succeed with event handling of native events. The redefined method 'dispatch' is never called, altough I registered events as:
DATA: my_simple_event TYPE cntl_simple_event.
DATA: my_simple_events TYPE cntl_simple_events.
****Register Media Player Events with CFW
my_simple_event-eventid = go_mp3->evt_endofstream.
Specify that it's an application event
my_simple_event-appl_event = 'X'.
APPEND my_simple_event TO my_simple_events.
Redefine SET_REGISTERED_EVENTS
CALL METHOD go_mp3->set_registered_events
    EXPORTING
      events                    = my_simple_events
    EXCEPTIONS
      illegal_event_combination = 1
      OTHERS                    = 2.
****Set Event handler for Media Player
SET HANDLER g_application->handle_end_of_stream FOR go_mp3.
Does anybody have an running example, e.g. for the event handling of 'STOP button clicked' event in the media player?
Furthermore: Is there a free download of the OLE object viewer?
Thanks a lot,
Thomas

Hi Juergen,
Sorry - not an answer. But I would like to hear from you if you manage to solve this problem. I am also working on using a custom COM object (VB.NET) in the SAPGui and am battling to capture events triggered by the control.
In particular I am trying to find the eventID of an event so that I can register it in SAP - do you know how to capture and view the event ID of lets say the mouse 'click' event of your control?
How are you identifying your events and registering them in SAP?. I have very little experience in Delphi - but I'm hoping COM is universal enough?
Hope you find your answer! Sorry I only have questions!
Regards,
Neil

Many events for ID 14554 appearing in System event log

I have two 2008 R2 domain controllers and one new 2012 R2 server I just promoted to DC a few days ago. One of the 2K8R2 servers holds all the FSMO roles. The new 2K12R2 DC is also an additional namespace server for domain-based namespace.
The DFS seems to be working fine, but about every 20 minutes the following 14554 event for 'DfsSvr' is logged:
The DFS Namespaces service has successfully initialized the shared folder that hosts the namespace root. Shared folder: ourDFSnamespace
This event does not appear on either of the two 2K8R2 DCs.

Hi,
My personal opinion is that there are 2 possible cause of this event: It is newly added in Windows 2012 R2 (which means it is not an issue) or the DFS namespace added on your server do have trouble in recognizing.
Currently I did not find enough information about this event log. For a test could you try to remove Windows 2012 R2 as a referral target of this DFS namespace, force an AD replication and re-create it? If the settings is not complex you can have a try with
creating.
In the meantime I'll continue search to see if it is actually just a new event log in Windows 2012 R2.

Too many events for FCPX?

I have a fairly large project where we filmed close to a hundred locations. We categorized each of those locations as an event. Now when we launch FCP, it seems to be too much for FCPX. Searching across multiple events takes quite a long time while FCP "preps" the media.
My solution has been to make a folder called "Final Cut Events INACTIVE". I then drag all the events that aren't being used in a given project to that folder so that FCPX will perform better. The problem is that our main edit needs some content from ALL of those events, so I really need all 100 events available.
So basically I'm asking if others have this kind of event-overload performance issue. If so, what are solutions? Certainly I could get a faster HD. Right now I'm using an external FW800 2TB drive on a brand new iMac 3.4 i7 with 16GB RAM. So that's a pretty decent setup. I hate to drop a ton of cash on a Thunderbolt RAID just so I can access 100 events easily. That seems unnecessary.
The FW800 drive plays back our native, unoptimized MTS media just fine (re-wrapped as MOV), so generally speaking, it performs quite well. I guess I just find it disappointing that FCPX doesn't ahndle a lot of events well unless there's something I can be doing to manage them better.
Also, is there a way to temporarily deactivate an event without resorting to my solution of moving it to an INACTIVE folder?

You don't say how many clips there are.
I have over 5,000 clips (some of 15 or even 20 minutes but most less than 25 seconds). These are split between ten events.
I have a 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro with 16GB RAM.
When I click an event, it opens more or less instantly.
I suggest you have fewer actual events, and use keywords to categorise the locations.
It would be easy to do - just select all the clips in one event and press Cmd+K to add the location keyword to every clip, then drag the clips into an event.

Generating Security Events for Auditing Purposes

Hello! What I’m writing about today concerns generating events in the Security Log on Win2008 R2 for auditing purposes. Information on this specific action is fairly scare online, from what I’ve seen, after some extensive searching.
If there were a utility that would facilitate this, that would be ideal, but I’m not seeing anything of that nature. I see that there are some APIs (e.g. AuthzReportSecurityEvent) that allow this sort of thing, but I’m not quite sure where to start with those.
I pick up most programming things pretty quickly, but I’ve not done anything with C# or .NET before.
My initial thought was to use eventcreate and write a simple batch file to generate a bunch of events, but eventcreate turned out to be a dead end, since I need to audit occurrences of lots of events in the 4XXX range, like 4726.
I then tried PowerShell (New-EventLog –LogName Security –Source “TEST” then
Write-EventLog –LogName Security –Source “TEST” –EntryType Information –EventID 1 –Message “TESTING”) but with the Security log being locked down that won’t fly.
I tried giving myself full rights on the eventlog registry key and the security key specifically, but that didn't work. Is there something obvious that I'm missing?
If I need to call the APIs with a script or application of some sort (ideally a script), I can look into that, but I’m afraid that I’m rather puzzled on how to start.
Thank you very much for your time!

Is there a list of the sound-generating System events for OS X? How to tweak?

I work with a community with some minor physical and visual impairments. I have limited current OS X experience, and I am volunteering on their behalf. But this question is not directly about OS X assistive technologies. Right now, we would just like to add more+additional sound effects than seems to be the default for OS 10.8.
In particular we would like:
A loud sound when a USB device has become unplugged (when plugged in would be nice as well.)
A clear sound when a password has been entered incorrectly.
One of my users swears these sound events are already in there, and I am inclined to believe her. But confirming this is difficult on Mac OS 10.8.4 The “Sound Effects” dialog in the System Preferences only seems to be for alerts.
So two questions:
What are all the system sound events in OS 10.8.4
How can we configure the sounds that are played for individual events?
Thank you!

Growl.info and HardwareGrowler can play sounds when hardware in attached/removed.
Unplugged can tell you if your laptop power adaptor has been plugged in or unplugged.

Callback functions to handle events for a specific system build block

I have two questions about customized event handling in Systembuild:
1- The SystemBuild Utility "sysbldEvent" can bo used to specify additional actions for the "openblock" and "navigate" events. However, it will be applied to all systembuild blocks.
Is there a way to limit its scope to a specific block or block type?
This has been done for the Altia block (which is a customized UCB block) - a double-click will open a special dialog box. Is this feature implemented using publicly available systembuild features or there are other special features used?
2- Is there any way to assign callbacks to other type of block events: copy, paste, etc ...
Thanks.

Farshid,
There are a couple of options for creating custom dialogs/blocks.
SysbldEvent can be used. As you noted it will generate and event for all the blocks. You can not generate an event only for a specific block. However the Xmath function has two values sent to it. One is the type of event (blockopen or navigate) and the blockId. You can use blockId together with SBA commands to find out which block generated the event. If it is a block that you are not interested in then return 0 and SystemBuild opens the normal dialog. If it is the right block then you can open your own dialog or perform what ever action is needed. Finally return a 0 if you want SystemBuild to still open the normal dialog, or you can return 1 and no dialog is opened.
The Altia
block is a custom block. It is a standard UserCode block that has been customized to have differnt default parameters and different icon. In the SystemBuild editor (not catalog browser) select a block and the go to Edit>New Custom Block. The custom block can a have a MathScript function associated with it that gets called when the block is created. For more information on custom blocks see chapter 18 of the SystemBuild Users Guide (Help>Search MATRIXx Bookshelf from Xmath).
The final method is creating a component. For a component percent vars can remain internal or they can be available to the user. You can also provide a different set of parameters that are available to the user, and then provide equations for how they map to the internal percent vars. Information on Components is in Chapter 17 of the SystemBuild User's Guide.

Silenty change combobox contents without generating an event

How do I do the following code without generating an item selected event?
        employeeModel.removeAllElements();
        for (Employee employee : employeeList) {
            employeeModel.addElement(employee); // FIXME generates event at index 0
        }

you change the combo's model
here's a simple demo - click the button to change the model
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
class Testing extends JFrame
String[] numbers = {"1","2","3"};
String[] letters = {"a","b","c"};
JComboBox cbo = new JComboBox(numbers);
public Testing()
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    setSize(400,100);
    setLocation(400,300);
    JButton btn = new JButton("OK");
    JPanel panel =new JPanel();
    panel.add(cbo);
    panel.add(btn);
    getContentPane().add(panel);
    pack();
    cbo.addItemListener(new ItemListener(){
      public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent ie){
        if(ie.getStateChange() == ItemEvent.SELECTED){
          System.out.println(cbo.getSelectedIndex());}}});
    btn.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
        //cbo.removeAllItems(); //these two lines generate item event
        //for(int x = 0; x < letters.length; x++) cbo.addItem(letters[x]);
        cbo.setModel(new DefaultComboBoxModel(letters));}});//this doesn't
public static void main(String[] args){new Testing().setVisible(true);}
}

Generate action events from objects

Is there a way to have an object generate an event for a component just as if that component had received the event from the user?
i.e. I have a JPanel that has a MouseListener added to it. Can I have a separate object (or actually just having the JPanel do it itself would be fine) create a MouseEvent and fire it to the MouseListener so that the code in the MouseAdapter's MouseClicked method gets run?
Thanks,
Matt

I think Component.dispatchEvent() is what you are looking for.

Programatically change control focus to generate and Event......

I'm adding some user enhancement (anti-screw-it-up functions) to insure the desired process is executed.
Primary question: If I have an event that is handles by a value change in a text control, (event happens when you hit Enter or exit control with mouse) will the event also occur if you exit the control by programatically changing the focus to another control ?
I'm going to try and set up a temp vi to test this but wanted to see if anyone had tried this and if it works or not. My other option is to set up multiple event cases but I was hoping to use a single case to handle everything.
A few details, I have a test system that tests a product automatically when the product is placed in a cradle and the cradle is moved into position and activates a prox sensor. At end of test, system waits for prox sensor to de-activate before resetting the system.
If a unit fails, there are rework options and the unit can be retested. When it fails, a label prints defining the failure modes and provides a failing serial number. When the unit is retested, the failing serial number is entered into a text control. I want the re-test sequence (queued up in the Event) to occur when either 1, a failing serial number is entered or two a button is pressed (with mouse) I'm pretty sure pressing a button would in turn automatically create the text control change event so my button can probably be a dummy button just for appearances.
Where the hole is if the user enters a failed serial # and doesn't exit the control and then engages a pump to start the test. I can use a 'Empty Path/String' function but the control will continue to show empty as if nothing was entered until the Enter key is pressed or the mouse is used to exit the control.
If I can generate the event by changing the focus, then it will insure that if a failing s/n is entered, the re-test sequence occurs and if nothing exists in that field, it performs a first time test.
A little long winded for sure but any thoughts are appreciated.
Can't really post any simple code as this feature is in my top level vi and I have a really big app that doesn't warrant uploading.

Actually, changing the focus alone did not trigger the event but I was able to then utilize the Empty Path/String function to drive a Value(Signaling) node for the control.

Starting event for MQSeries control

I am new to Integration. I'm testing a simple MQSeries control. I just want the control listen to a q, get the message and put the message on another q.
What is the starting event for this type of process? Do I have to use a message broker?
thanks.

You can use the control only from an already running process. I you need to start a new process, whenever a message arrives in a MQ queue, then use the event generator, which communicates via Message broker events.

When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.

When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.
Initially I could find no cause. Then I tried right click - Edit and on the affected images, always get this warning:
"Image Cannot Be Edited - This photo was previously edited with another application or with an early version of Iphoto. Duplicate this photo to edit it." and a "Duplicate To Edit" Button is displayed.
The external Editor defined for iPhoto is Adobe Photoshop Elements.
Now, I reckon the MUST be others out there affected by this same apparent Preview bug, yet my searches have not revealed any answers. Also seems impossible to find a contact number for adobe???

How to fire event to generate insert message for the child objects?

We are in process to integrate CRM On Demand and existing Microsoft SQL DB.
We have the following problem:
For ex., we have CRM Object_1 that already synchronized with the SQL DB. CRM also has independent Object_2 and its child Object_2.1
We dicided that we want to connect the Object_2 as child to the Object_1.
The question is how to fire event to generate insert message for the Object_2 and Object_2.1?
What is the best technique? Is it possible to do it by workflow configuration or it needs to be done programmatically?
Thanks,
Dmitry
Edited by: 955827 on Aug 29, 2012 11:57 AM

Hi,
integration events can be generated only via worklow. You will need to create separate workflows for each record type (regardless if it is child or parent) because a workflow for the parent record type will not trigger when a child record is created/ associated. Also, the association workflows will trigger only when the specific event occurs.
There is not way to generate the integrtaion events programatically. They are generated by workflows and are read/ interpreted by a code extension.
