Having issues with setting the "Active Window"
Hello List,
I've got a LV installation that runs three LV created EXE's simultaneously. In the "top level" application, the user enters a product model number (by way of a PS2 barcode scanner) to be tested, and that application looks at our network to see if there is a test recipe for the product. If there is, it hides and moves itself to the bottom and maximizes and moves to the top EXE number two. On EXE number two, the user is supposed to scan the product serial number. But on occasion, EXE number two is not the active window, even though it is the frontmost and maximized, so the scan from the barcode reader doesn't go into the field. (Looking at the Taskbar at the bottom of the screen, the task for the frontmost & maximized EXE is not "depressed") A simple mouse click anywhere on the window will make it active, but the users don't have a mouse (or keyboard) (I am able to "remote in" from another computer using a product line "PC Anywhere). I have tried using the "mouse_event" from user32.dll in a "Call Library Function Node", but that doesn't seam to work reliably.
So my first question is, will the "mouse_event" from user32.dll even fire if my computer doesn't have a mouse plugged in?
And, if not, does anyone have any better ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

I'm guessing that it would, because Windows has a cursor even if there's no mouse plugged in, but I haven't tried it.
As for the second question, you could try what I posted here, although you'll probably want to clean up the code - http://lavag.org/topic/12751-how-do-you-make-your-application-window-frontmost/?p=76308

Hi am having issues with getting the list of users from the Active Director
Hi am having issues with getting the list of users from the Active Directory, can anyone help me with this!
Hi Jason,
Try this:
1. In Ultiboard select Tools>>Netlist Editor>>Pins, press the Delete button
2. Select all nets in the Select the Net to Delete dialog and then press the Delete button. This will clear all nets in the layout, don't worry all traces, parts are still on the design.
3. Go to Multisim and select Transfer>>Forward annotate to Ultiboard. This will add all nets that you removed back and it should fix the pin problem

I am having issues with adjusting the duration of time for each still frame and transition in imovie 11. Each time that I adjust these times, the application does not accept the change, and instead automatically enters its own time. Is there a work around this? Or am I doing something wrong? Please Help!
Thank you,
lagrlHave you tried turning off automatic transitions ? Choose file - project properties and follow the dialogue box to change duration with a slider. iMovie also doesn't allow a transition to be more than 50% duration of the clip its attached to. In other words if the clip is 4 seconds the transition cannot be more than 2 seconds and remember that relates to the first clip as the following clip (right side) is pulled back to overlay it.
Does this help. Perhaps you already know this ? -

Hey All,
I'm writing a pre-build VI that updates the build destination (and other items, but we're ignoring those for now). This pre-build vi, when run, grabs the Destination Directory from the tag "Bld_localDestDir" and modifies the directory by incrementing a version number.
The issue I'm having is that after the pre-build vi is run, the build continues and puts the executable in the *previous* Destination directory instead of the updated one.
Example:
Destination Dir = c:\temp\version1 --> Choose to build the executable --> Pre-build VI runs and sets Destination Dir to c:\temp\version2 --> Build finishes and says "You can locate the build at C:\temp\version1" --> Check the build properties, destination dir is C:\temp\version2 --> build again --> Pre-build runs and updates destination to version3 --> Build finishes and says "you can locate the build at C:\temp\version2" --> check build properties, destination dir is C:\temp\version3
And so on and so forth. As you can see, the tag setting is working (as witnessed by the Build Properties being updated). However, it looks like the destination directory for the build is determined and set *before* the pre-build VI is run. This is, in my opinion, not intended behavior.
Here's a snippet of a watered-down version of the code, which still has the issue. I've also attached the full VI, saved for LV2010.
The attached VI will grab the version number of the build, append it to the startup vi's title bar, update the build destinations with a new path that has the version number, and then save the project.
As a final note, I'd prefer to not use a post-build VI to rename the directory that the build is placed in.
Solved!

Cool, thanks for confirming that I'm not crazy. And no, I haven't found any documentation concerning this phenomenon.

Good to know. I think this should be in the documentation somewhere though, perhaps in the detailed help for the Get/Set Tag invoke nodes for a Build Spec reference.
To fix the issue, I've just made my own "Build Executable" vi that sets the tags before the build is started. It uses the same VI that I attached earlier (confirming that the VI works). Instead of starting the build from the project window and having a pre-build vi execute, I run this stand-alone VI and it builds the app. -
Having issues with getting the slide to advance properly after audio is done playing
Before I describe the problem I will describe what I'm trying to do.
I have a slide that plays a video. When the video is finished the user clicks a Continue button, and a short audio clip plays, and then the slide advances to the next screen. The problem comes when I'm trying to integrate closed captions. Since CC is only allowed at the slide lever I created an advanced action that is intended to display the audio text and play the audio. The caption with the audio text displays fine, but one of two things happens with the audio:
The slide advances before the audio is done playing.
I add a pause action to the advanced action and the slide does not advance at all.
Does anyone have any advice on how to control the slide so it will advance once the audio is done? Thanks in advance for your help.The Pause action WILL pause the slide if invoked. And there is no way to set the duration of the Pause in the Advanced Action.
I would suggest you add a button to the slide that the user clicks to go to the next slide. Add the short audio clip that you want the learner to hear to the On Success caption of that button and set the button properties to Pause for Success/Failure captions. You can add the CC text for the short audio clip into the success caption so that it appears as the audio is playing. As soon as the audio clip finishes playing the success caption will disappear and the timeline will continue to the next slide.
No Advanced Actions required for this solution. -

One thing I notice is that the _mmServerScripts folder does not show up in my Local Files folder - even after refreshing. (The underscore must hide this folder?)When I change the drop-down from Local View to Testing Server I don't see the _mmServerScripts folder, and all folders are red.
The underscore at the beginning of the folder name hides it in the Files panel, although you can turn on the option to display hidden files by accessing the panel options menu.
The folder icons in the Files panel are colour coded: green is for local files, red represents the testing server (or Subversion repository, if defined), and yellow (Windows) or blue (Mac) represents your remote server.
As Randy says, check the Web URL in your testing server definition. It should be http://localhost/check_php/. -
Is anyone having issues with installing the 32 bit version of Adobe Presenter?
I am trying to install the 32 bit version of Presenter on my computer from the downloaded file on the website. I have an authorization code I put in and then when it starts to download it asks to insert the disk when there is not one. Below are the specs for my computer:
Windows 7, Microsoft Office 2010, PowerPoint version 14.0.7166.5000 (32-bit)
Any suggestions???
Thanks,
ChrisAfter downloading, please do not go inside Presenterwin32” folder or the “Presenterwin64” folder .
Use the setup.exe that is outside these folders. It will automatically detect whether your PowerPoint is 32 or 64 bit and will install the corresponding Presenter.
Hope this will resolve your issue.
Thanks

HAVING ISSUES WITH SETTING UP AN EXTERNAL HD TO AIRPORT EXTREME
I have a 5th generation Airport Extreme that is 2 months old and for the life of me I can not get it to see the new Lacie 2 TB external I just purchased today. I have followed all the directions from the Apple support site and NOTHING! I just want to be able to back up my MBP 15" wirelessly...if any one can help that would be AWESOME!!!
Checklist.....
The hard drive is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Verify that the USB cable is working correctly
Use a powered USB hub due to low voltage on the AirPort Extreme USB port
Locating via Finder.....
Open Macintosh HD or Finder
Click the AirPort Extreme icon under the SHARED heading
A folder representing the drive will appear in the window to the right
Double click the folder to mount the drive on the desktop
Caution......
Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme are not supported by Apple.
You should be OK for regular file storage, etc. -

Hello there. So I hope I can explain this sufficiently:
OUT OF THE WAY: 11g 4.1.1
I'm going to simplify my data so that it is clear what I'm looking to do.
I want to have a line chart grouped by date. Let's say monthly...this is easy to do if you are dealing with one specific date and some value you can build the series against with case statements. I've done that a million times.
The columns of data I'm dealing with are as follows:
CREATE_DT(create date)
RETIRE_DT(retire date)
MACHINE_TYPE(type of machine)
So lets say I want to see a line chart where each line(data point) is a MACHINE_TYPE and each bin is a month. That month should be any machine with a CREATE_DT below then end of the month and a RETIRE_DT which is either Greater then the end of the month or is NULL(ala hasn't been retired yet).
In the query for a chart which is
SELECT LINK,LABEL,CASE()"",CASE()"",CASE()"" from TABLE GROUP BY ROLLUP(VALUE)I guess I'm not seeing how to be able to put these values together so that it walks month by month and figures out the values and puts them in the correct "bin" of time along the X axis of the chart.
I hope I'm being semi clear as it is hard to explain this scenario. Nope. Clear as mud.
If time is plotted against the X axis, what measure is plotted on the Y?
