Handle selected items in a panel

Hello,
Is it possible to handle multiple selected items from an Indesign panel using javascript in CS4?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kesav.

With one possible exception (libraries, I vaguely remember), this is not possible. Dirk Becker has a very useful plugin that expands the JS so that you can see what's selected in several InDesign panels. An alternative is to do a scriptUI interface and include in it a list box in which you list some panel's contents, so that your script can act on whatever is selected in there.
For an example, see here: http://www.kahrel.plus.com/indesign/pdf_individuals.html

Using checkboxes to select items in a Spark DataGroup/List?

I have a DataGroup from Catalyst, laid out like a tile list:
I'd like to do something a bit different, in that I'd like to allow people to multi-select items in the list using those checkboxes instead of the usual command/control-click.
The checkbox, label and image are in the itemRenderer. Is there an easy way that I can have that checkbox toggle the selected state of its list item?

Hi,
Using the checkbox as a selection is easy enough as all you have to do is add a change event to the checkbox in the renderer and then in the event
selected=mycheckbox.selected;
The fun is how to handle the list click event from the checkbox you can stop propagation but if the item is clicked it will reset the selected indices.
There is a few ways to handle this
when processing the list don't use the selected indices just use the checkbox value to determine whats selected
disable the listbox click event so items have to be selected with the checkbox
or the most complex lots of overriding so that click acts like a ctrl/click and the checkbox/itemclick can toggle each other.

Please tell me how to handle list item in this concern

please tell me how to handle list item in this concern
My problem is:
i have a category table with column categoryname(varchar type)
I want to display the records of categoryname in a drop down list (i.e., list item )
So ..please tell me how to do it
Thanks in advance..

This code is just a sample from the Help documentation. It won't work until you modify it for your form.
Why do you have "steps" in your code? You are suppose to do what the steps tell you. You don't place the steps in your code. The steps must be removed from your code.
Step 1 code goes in a program unit, not in a trigger.
Step 2 and 3 code usually goes in a trigger.
You will have to replace the names of the items and record group with your own names as you have defined them in your form.
step 1: create a procedure in your application
procedure load_list(itm in VARCHAR2, rg in VARCHAR2) is
group_id RecordGroup := Find_Group(rg);
list_id Item := Find_Item(itm);
Begin
if Populate_Group(group_id)<>0 then
Message('Unable to populate record group');
Raise Form_Trigger_Failure;
end if;
Clear_List(list_id);
Populate_list(list_id, group_id);
end;
step 2: create a record group named rg_cat and assign Record Group Query to something like "select categoryname from category"
step 3: call this procedure as
load_list('categoryname','rg_cat');

Remember selected item with ComboBox

Hey All,
I was just wondering how other pople solve this issue.
I have a combobox with a XX number of items in there. Now
when I re-populate the combobox the selected item get's lost. I
also would like to remember the selected item during sessions. For
instance when A user selected item XX on monday. I would like to
have it automatically set XX again when a user comes back on
tuesday.
Is there a meganism in adobe flex that allows me to remember
a 'state' of a object, or is that custom programming?
Ideally I would like to have a component that can do teh work
for me rather then my application handles the logic, some sort of a
state manager?
Ries

Use a SharedObject, and write to it in the ComboBox change
handler. See SharedObject in FB3 help sys.

Trinidad Myfaces - selectManyShuttle - initially selected items?

Selecting items in CS6

I know this is ridiculous, but I just upgraded to cs6 and I can't figure out how to select items on the canvas, aside for selecting each individual layer on the layers panel.
I have Mac os X 10.7.4, and I previously had cs5.5 on my laptop.
I was able to use the direct select tool to select mulitple items by either dragging it would select anything in the box or using shift to select multiple items. Do I have to click on every item in the layer panel to select it on the canvas? Is there a option that I have checked when it should be unchecked?
I should probably add that I am trying to select multiple layers of text along with shapes.

My recommendation is to slow down, take a deep breath, and deal with each issue separately. There are a number of preferences that can affect the things you're trying to do.
Rest assured that while there are some changes from Photoshop CS5, they're not as likely to be what's getting in your way as differences in settings that you've changed over time.
As you change preference settings in Photoshop, you might want to make notes. Then next Photoshop upgrade you'll have a script you can work from.

Handling dynamic item data in VSTS

Hi Team,
Can you please let us know how to handle dynamic item data in VSTS.
Regards
Raghavendra

Hi Raghavendra,
Based on your previous threads posted by you in the test forum, I doubt that you want to create the coded UI test, am I right?
If so, which kind of app did you want to test, WPF or others? Could you share us a screen shot about the real UI controls you want to test? What real Controls you want to test, list item controls or others?
You know that to find a control in coded UI test, we have to use the unique peoperties as the search properties, so if your controls are dynamic, the real issue would be related to the search properties you use in your code.
Like this case:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/4c4805f0-230d-459d-a3e5-61e62746c5b9/list-box-item-is-not-get-selected-while-play-back-the-recorded-script-in-coded-ui-test?forum=vsautotest
As Pankaj's suggestion, if the list items are dynamic then you can use the index values instead of the innertext, so the real issue would be related to how to use the search perperties in your side. If you item text value is dynamic, you'd better not
use the text value as the search properties.
About "How does “Coded UI test” finds a control ??", reference:

Black boxes around selected items-

While using Q-Xpress this morning on a flat panel G5 w/OS10.4.11,
Black boxes started showing up on every item that is selected. Desktop items, also around the name on the top window of any open folder. I used the key command optshft5 by accident while in Xpress,but it didn't do anything. I needed to bring something to the front and F5 was what I should've pressed. Now these black lines appear around every selected item. I've looked in the sys prefs panel and every where else I can think. There doesn't seem to be any reference to this anywhere.
Can anyone tell me what I've done?

Have you looked in Universal Access>Seeing? Otherwise, reboot and reset your PRAM.

Path of currently selected item in Finder

Ladies and Gents,
I'm working with Finder, trying to get hold of the path of the currently selected document. I can get through two of the three required steps, but the last part eludes me. Can you help please?
I can get the current selection no problem:
tell application "Finder"
set soko to selection
end tell
this returns the selected items - even if more than one is highlighted. How cool is that:
{folder "opt" of startup disk of application "Finder", folder "Library" of startup disk of application "Finder", folder "Developer" of startup disk of application "Finder"}
I can even select one of the entries:
tell application "Finder"
set soko to selection
set koko to the first item of soko
end tell
this gives:
folder "opt" of startup disk of application "Finder"
However I don't know how to convert that verbose description of the location to a plain old path such as:
/opt (POSIX)
or
:opt: (Mac)
The verbose description seems to be called a "reference", but how to convert it to a path eludes me. Can you help?
Mac OS X (10.4.2)

path to v : Return the full path to the specified folder
Definition of path to is misleading.
It says: Return the full path to the specified folder.
but it actually means: Return the full path to the predefined folder. In this case the predefined folder can be one of the following:
application support/applications folder/desktop/desktop pictures folder/documents folder/favorites folder/Folder Action scripts/fonts/help/home folder/internet plugins/keychain folder/library folder/modem scripts/movies folder/music folder/pictures folder/preferences/printer descriptions/public folder/scripting additions/scripts folder/shared documents/shared libraries/sites folder/startup disk/startup items/system folder/system preferences/temporary items/trash/users folder/utilities folder/workflows folder/voices/apple menu/control panels/control strip modules/extensions/launcher items folder/printer drivers/printmonitor/shutdown folder/speakable items/stationery
Those are system predefined folders.
Now, I think what you want to get at is POSIX path of the selected folder, yes?
In that case, you use POSIX path of
-- begin
tell application "Finder"
set loco to selection
if the number of items in loco is greater than 0 then
set koko to the first item of loco
else
set koko to insertion location
end if
-- at this point, koko is a full path to the selection, or first item of it
-- return koko -- remove the comment, you'll see
set soco to (POSIX path of (koko as string)) -- this convert HFS+ format to POSIX format
end tell
-- end

[ADF-UIX] passing selected items to a custom method, how?

Hi,
ADF-UIX can be tricky, and im stuck atm building some functionality, I hope
someone here can point me in a good direction
I have a multipleSelection table filled with data from a ViewObject. I also
have 2 MessageChoice components also filled with data from 2 ViewObjects.
I made a custom method in my AppMod accepting 3 params and dragged that method
on to a DataAction. And I have a submit button calling the DataAction.
Now comes the tricky part, how can I pass the selected rows (radiobuttons) and
the selected items from my MessageChoices to my custom method.
I know I have to change something in paramNames[0].value but what exactly, specialy
the multiselect from my table.
Thanks in advance for any tips :)

"what's the application module"
JDev 10.1.3 leverages an Application Development Framework (ADF) that you can learn about here: http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/pdf/B25947_01.pdf
Specifically, you'll want to look at chapters 2, 4, & 8 in the developer's guide to understand the framework and to understand how to use application modules to call service methods from a JSF page. You can also search this forum as there are other threads discussing this topic, but I'd recommend reviewing the developer guide first.
This article I also found helpful:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/tips/muench/mostcommon/index.html
From my (short) experience, I've learned that you can call methods either using a bean or service methods on the Application Module. Since I am using ADF Business Components (BC), I try to implement any methods that interact with the BC's (view objects, etc.) as service methods on the Application Module (AM). If my method needs to purely implement logic related to the UI or Navigation, then I implement a method on a bean. The other case where I implement a method on a bean is if I need to do some pre-processing (i.e., gather info. about the state of the UI) prior to calling a service method on the AM (an example of this can be found in the dev guide related to the tableSelectMany component) - so there are some cases where the bean method will call a method on the AM - but again, if the method will update the model I try to use a method on the AM to accomplish this. Understanding the ADF framework is the first step (see the dev guide), and then I'd recommend looking at the SRDemo and previous posts on this forum.
Finally, one thing that is really cool - if you define a service method on your AM, it shows up in the data control pallette - you can drag and drop the method on the .jspx page and all of the bindings/wiring is done automatically for you (including handling passing of parameters.)
hope this helps.

Javascript help to copy selected items from one list to another list on same site

Hello,
So I have a request that I am not sure how to handle. I have created a page with a list view webpart that displays all the items from one list.
The user is then supposed to select off multiple list items and click on a button (most likely a ribbon button) that will take the selected items and copy them to another list on the same SharePoint site.
I would like to do this with JavaScript, but have only found an example that copies library items to another library.

Hi KansaiKel,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to copy selected list items to another list.
I suggest you can use JavaScript Client Object Model to achieve it.
Here is a code snippet for your reference:
<script type="text/javascript">
var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var siteUrl = 'http://sp2013sps/sites/test';
var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext(siteUrl);
var web = context.get_web();
context.load(web);
var sourceId = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedList();
var source = web.get_lists().getById(sourceId);
var oList = context.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('Copy');
context.load(oList);
var selectedItems = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems(context);
alert('debut');
for(var i in selectedItems)
var currentItem = source.getItemById(selectedItems[i].id);
context.load(currentItem);
context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this,test),Function.createDelegate(this,error));
function test(sender, args){
var itemCreateInfo = new SP.ListItemCreationInformation();
var oListItem = oList.addItem(itemCreateInfo);
oListItem.set_item('Title', currentItem.get_item('Title'));
oListItem.update();
oList.update();
alert('done');
function error(sender, args){ alert('error');}""
</script>

How to access spark list selected items

selected items is some sort of vector? I can't access the items in it, can anyone shed some light on how to acess them? Maybe print them to the screen?

I too am dragging through the documentation with a fine toothed comb and am at a loss of how to get something as simple (and intiutive) as myList.items.
Maybe I'm overthinking it, but if I have a custom item renderer with a checkbox in it and when the user clicks the checkbox and it's selected state changes, I'd like to let the List that contains the List Item know of it... not that the item was messed with, but more to the point, that the checkbox was messed with and which item it was a member of...
Right now I can't even figure out how to do something as rediculously simple as creating a creationComplete handler that iterates through the list items and calls a function in them to set a reference to itself that the list item can reference.

Combox Box not displaying selected item

Below is the code I'm using to try to capture and display the
selected item from a ComboBox:
private function
changeProjectTypeSelection(event:Event):void{
projectTypeChange.text+=event.currentTarget.selectedItem.cboProjectType
+ " " +
event.currentTarget.selectedIndex + "\n";
Then the ComboBox:
<mx:ComboBox fontSize="12" x="93" y="83" width="110"
id="cboProjectType" dataProvider="{projectTypeArray}"
labelField="projectTypeName" selectedIndex="0"
click="changeProjectTypeSelection(event)"></mx:ComboBox>
Then the TextInput:
<mx:TextInput id="projectTypeChange" x="248.95" y="84"
width="121"/>
I know there's something wrong with the Actionscript code...
just haven't figured it out. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated!

I've almost got it...
private function
changeProjectTypeSelection(event:Event):void{
var i:int;
for(i=0;i<projectTypeArray.length;i++){
if(projectTypeArray.getItemAt(i).projectTypeName ==
event.currentTarget.selectedItem.projectTypeName){
projectTypeChange.text+=projectTypeArray.getItemAt(i).projectTypeName
+ "\n";
Alert.show(projectTypeArray.getItemAt(i).projectTypeName +
"FirstAlert");
//Alert.show(event.currentTarget.selectedItem.projectTypeName +
"SecondAlert");
I just can't seem to be able to reset the value in the
textInput field. I've tried setting it equal to spaces in several
places, but it won't change after the first selection. Any ideas?
Thanks for any suggestions!

Getting selected item from combobox itemrenderer and storing in object

Hi Guys,
Can anyone help me in this regard. Its very urgent.
I have a combo box itemrenderer in datagrid column. I want to get the user selected item from the dropdown of the row(s) (User may select values from combo box from multiple rows of datagrid) and corressponding values of all other columns of the rows and store it in an object . Then pass this object to database to update only those rows that user has changed.
I am able to get the selected item from combo box using "event.currentTarget.selectedItem" and corressponding values of all other columns of the rows using "valueSelect.ID", etc where valueSelect is object which contains data for datagrid. But am stuck up with, how to store the selected item value of the combobox and corressponding values of all other columns of the rows into an Object ?.
Can anybody help me with sample to store selected item from combobox and its corressponding values of all other columns into an object which i can send to db...?
Kindly help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Anand.

Hi!
Are you using a collection of VO or DTO as the dataprovider of the combobox component?
If so, have you created some attribute there to control the user's selection in the combobox?
For instance:
private var selected:Boolean = false;
If your solution fits this approach, you may create a new collection that contains just the objects that were selected by the user, it means you can loop through the datagrid's dataprovider and only insert in this new collection those objects that have the attribute "selected" set to true.
For instance:
private function getSelectedRecords(datagridDataProvider:ArrayCollection):ArrayCollection
    var newCollection:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
    for each (var item:Object in datagridDataProvider)
        if (item.selected)
            newCollection.addItem(item)
    return newCollection;
Afterwards, you may serialize this new collection with your back-end.
Hope it helps you!
Cheers,
@Pablo_Souza
