GRAB selection

Is it possible to "grab" a section of a viewed page that is not on the screen?
In other words when I bring up the grab cursor (shift/command/4) I am only able to grab data that is viewed. I cannot hold down the left click button and grab (scroll down to) a portion of the screen that is just below the portion viewed.
How do I grab more than is viewed?
Thank You
Dan

Dang.
I just made the switch to Mac a couple weeks ago after two decades of working with Windows, and one thing that I do almost every day is print selected sections of online reports.
Sadly, I am finding that this has nothing to do with Safari. The printing mechanism seems to belong to OS X, as I'm finding the same near-useless printing options in Firefox and Omniweb as well.
This is a work machine, but I've been trying to avoid using A windows VM for anything at all, yet here I am having to fire up Fusion just to print things. :-|
Hopefully this is something they will address before long. I think it's simply a matter of missing 96% of the user feedback that's out there.
I still love most of the experience so far though.
One thing I do see in the forums from time to time is the same humorous thing I've seen in Windows-related forums for years:
Q. "How do I do this?"
A. "Why would anyone want to do that?"
It's the real life version of the old Joke:
"Doctor, it hurts when I do this."
"Then don't do that."

Internet Explorer: Contextual Menu, Retrieve Current URL,Grab Selected Text

Hi,
How would you do to add an item to the Internet Explorer Contextual Menu that grab the selected text and retrieve the current Url?
Thanks in advance

Actually, I would like to retrieve the current URL and the selected text from the browser by default.
Ubiquitous, Internet Explorer is the first browser I would like to use.
1. It could be a java application that monitors the active browser on WinNT, and displays the current URL and the selected text of the monitored browser.
Or
2. it could be a java script called by the contextual menu of IE that launches an application with specific data from the page when the item is clicked (gives these specific data to a monitoring application)
Launching the default browser with a URL is OK. However, monitoring the active browser and retrieving its informations, or retrieving its informations after a clik from the contextual menu is quite an exercise ;-)
Thanks in advance,

Screen Recording Wont Let Me Grab Selection

I have QuickTime 10.0 (131) and I'm trying to take a screen recording. The box with the red button appears but I never get the option to record a selection of my screen. Why is this and how can I fix this?
Thanks!

Why is this and how can I fix this?
This ability was introduced in the QT X Player v10.1 under the Lion operating system. Either purchase a third-party screen recording app that operates under Snow Leopard or Upgrade your system to the Lion or Mountain Lion OS.

InternalVirtualForm issue - how to grab selected from from table when on

I have a table with "internalVirtualForm" (IVF) attribute turned on. I am using the "single-selected row" method of determining which row was selected so that I can work with that data in text fields further down on the page.
private TableSelectPhaseListener tablePhaseListener1 = new TableSelectPhaseListener();
public void setSelected(Object object) {}
public Object getSelected(){}
public Object getSelectedValue() {
RowKey[] selectedRowKeys = getTableRowGroup1().getSelectedRowKeys();
etc.
When IVF attribute is turned on how do I reference the table to retrieve the RowKey?
With IVF turned on selectedRowKeys == null; with IVF off selectedRowKeys == 1.
Making use of IVF seems to be key to my being able to use the "required" attribute of the textfields that are further down on my page.
Thanks,
Rebecca

hi,
Once the flag value is set, use modify statement for that to be reflected in your table.
This code will solve your purpose.
loop at wt_itab into wa_itab.
if(condition)
wa_itab-flag = 'x'.
MODIFY TABLE wt_itab FROM wa_itab TRANSPORTING FLAG.
endif.
endloop.
This statement changes the value of flag for that particular record in the loop.
Thanks

How do i grab a picture from my footage

i was just asked by my client...
"i need still shots of 2 people in our video"
she is planning to do an advertisment for her stores and wants models and liked the 2 friends i used as actors for the video. She wants me to email her a still shot from the footage of both of them so she can get it okayed by her booses to send to the ad agency. she wants them in a jpeg format or gif even? i dont know. she mentioned jpeg
1) is that possible?
2) if it is, how do i do it?
thanks in advance

There is a very quick and easy way to do this.
First find the shot that you want. Next, make sure that you are in Unlimited RT (so that the quality will be higher). Then enlarge the payback screen. Now open your Grab program: Applications / Utilities folder and select grab selection.
Click from the top left hand corner and just drag the red square around the image you want, then release the mouse. You will hear a camera click sound. Hit Save. It will be saved as a .tiff.
Now reopen the new .tiff and choose save as.... look in that window for the format that you want to save in (.jpeg) and hit OK.
Now you have a .jpeg of the shot you want. It sounds like a lot of steps, but you will see that after you do it once or twice, you will be able to zoom through it.
I have done this many times for my clients and the quality is surprisingly good. Even better if you have a 3CCD camera, which you probably do if you have "clients".
Hope this helps!!

How To Center A Selection

The following script works well, but instead of setting particular coordinates for the placement of my selection, I would rather center (0,0) the selection based on an anchor point. How do I accomplish this?
Thank-you,
Christopher

soNumber = InputBox("Enter SO Number", "Enter SO Number")
runNumber = InputBox("Enter Run Number", "Enter Run Number")
mySaveLocation = ("G:\_Pre-Press\___Todays work\4ups - Done\"&runNumber&".indd")
Set myDocument = myInDesign.Open("G:\_Pre-Press\___Todays work\"&soNumber&".indd")
'Select All
For x = 1 To myDocument.PageItems.Count
        myDocument.Select myDocument.PageItems.Item(x), True
        Next

How To Select Range With Multiple Tracks

Hi,
Is there a way to set an In point within a large reel, and then set an outpoint so I can then select everything within that range to copy?
The Range Selection Tool is sort of useless here, as it only selects the Video track, not the V2 (above it) or audio tracks below it.
I especially need an option like this, for when I have a feature film all on one Reel, and then need to grab selections of it (each about 20 mins long) to copy and paste into their own separate reels. But using the click and drag option can be a nightmare sometimes, and you very frequently miss clips above and below the Video track.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Tom,
That creates the same problem though: In the Timeline Index, I can select either video, or audio, or titles. But not all 3 at the same time. I'm trying to create a range over all three of those elements... and quite a wide range.
I seem to recall Final Cut 7 having a way to set the Slider tool, and then click an option that said, "Select all media to the right."

Grab is grabbing the clipboard

I am writing a new mail.
I then go to Mail >> Services >> Grab >> Selection.
I tab my way to Safari, select the part of the screen I want to send and wait for grab's click sound.
I get back to Mail, to find out that Grab has pasted a sentence that was on my clipboard (something I've copy/pasted before).
Am I doing something wrong or something wrong is happening with my utility?
Saludos,
Robby!

I don't believe grab even works in Safari. At least it won't for me. If I select text in Safari then select grab the options on what to grab, while in Safari are grayed out.

PAPI - how to grab instance

I have a grab and set it to From All.
If I use PAPI, how to grab selected instance to a specified activity?
The following code is used for getting a list of activities.
ActivityList activitylist= ActivityList.create();
activitylist=session.instanceGrabbableFrom(ist);
Below code snippet is used for getting a list of instance
InstanceInfoList instanceinfolist = InstanceInfoList.create();
instanceinfolist=session.activityGetGrabbableInstances("shenheN", "/GDHZdemoprocess#Default-1.0" );
Should I use Constant Field Values and how to use them?
fuego.processmodel.Activity GRAB
fuego.papi.ProcessInstanceState GRABBED

Hi
I use the following to grab instances using PAPI
InstanceInfo instanceInfo = papisession.processGetInstance(instanceId);
InstanceActivityPairSet pairSet = InstanceActivityPairSet.create();
pairSet.add(instanceInfo);
papisession.instancesGrab(pairSet, "GrabActivityName");
Here instanceId is the instance that should be grabbed. It can currently be in any activity.. My Grab activity is set to grab from all.
GrabActivityName is the name of the grab activity

Why I just get file list?

thanks advance!

You can make a screenshot picture of each page of the list right from Preview, via
File menu>Grab>Selection
drag over the list and let go.
The resulting tiff file snapshot on the desktop (and itself now open in Preview) is readable and printable, but since it is an image, it is not editable or copyable as text.
If you really need editable text , and if you also have an OCR program that might have come free with a scanner, then.. (ugh..)
(Yes, it's not only a kludge, but a really BAD one! There's got to be a better way.. )

Open a text file and show it in JList

hi!
Can somebody give me a example!!
Tnx

public class FileChooser extends JFileChooser
protected FileStreams fileStreams;
public FileChooser()
//Set Text Filter
setFileFilter(new TextFilter());
//Show Files
int result = showOpenDialog(this);
//Grab Selected file
if (result == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
getSelectedFile();
System.out.println("File:" + getSelectedFile).getPath());
if (getSelectedFile() != null)
try
fileStreams = new FileStreams(getSelectedFile());
catch (Exception e)
System.err.println("Error:FileChooser:Stream:" + e);
if (result == JFileChooser.CANCEL_OPTION){System.exit(0); }
}//End Class
You would need to create a class such as fileStreams that would take in:
BufferedReader buffReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
and then do something.

Magic Mouse & Trackpad Malfunctioning

My Magic Mouse and Trackpad are both malfunctioning ... They grab things (select and hold items) as they move across the screen and you can't get them to drop or release the items ... I can't tell you how many emails that disappear as the cursor moves down the page (the cursor selects them and deletes them) ... I've had to quit using my trackpad several months ago because of this problem, and go back to the Magic Mouse ... But now the magic mouse is as bad as the trackpad ever was ... I had to switch back to the trackpad just to write this question ... they both seem to be way too sensitive to the touch ... But the grabbing (selecting) items on the screen is getting worse ... Just writing this question, the text was selected several times as I type an disappears (I have to control Z and restore the screen). Has anyone else had this problem?
I am using the latest OSX software on an iMac (27") ...
HELP!

Three things.
1 and 2 iMac SMC and PRAM reset
3. You say you're using the latest OS X software but your profile indicates you are on Snow Leopard 10.6.2 so your claim according to what you posted is incorrect. If you have updated your Software please use Profile Update!

Can you call JavaScript later in the ADF Lifecycle?

The onClick() and other event handling functions happen at the beginning of the ADF lifecycle. I am actually interested in executing the onClick() JavaScript at the end of the lifecycle (because certain page elements to execute JavaScript against will not be rendered until the end of the lifecycle). Is this possible?
Thank you.

I am finding I have to use hiddenInput elements set with Javascript to store GUI state information between page refreshes in order to manage GUI transitions. That doesn't seem like a very elegant solution to me.
Really, the only reason I am having to do this is I am trying to grab 'Selected' items from a trailing list in the SelectOrderShuttle, and in order to do that I have to use the JavaScript proxy provided.

Column of ascending numbers?

How do you create a column of ascending numbers?
I have searched high and low in iWork help and can't find the method.
Help!

In one cell type a starting number. In the same column but one row down enter another value in your sequence. select both cells, then grab (select and hold the little circle at the bottome right of the selection) and drag down to fill:
you can use a similar technique for horizontal fills. You can also enter 0 in one cell, then 2 in the next and Numbers will fill by 2s. You can also enter dates, days of the week by entering the first two then fill based on that pattern.
Another way is to enter a starting value, then entering a formula in the next cell (let's say you wanted you count by threes starting at 2):
enter "2" in cell A1
shorthand is:
A1=2
A2=A1+3
select A2 and fill down:

Finder question help!!!

Please help!!!
you know that very simple text search you might run in a pdf (preview, pdfpen, or skim) which shows up in the Drawer, result being a list of terms or a few words including your search term along with the page number of the term in the list? ALL I WANT TO DO IS COPY THAT LIST TO A TEXT FILE!!!
I just don't get why its so hard to do? Is there a way to do it in terminal?
Please any help will be great.
