  • Help with access control please

    So I'm trying to set up my brother's PSP to the wirless network through MAC address timed access. What I want to do is make it so that he can only access it through certain times in the day. I'm having troubles with actually getting it to work. Everytime I set it up, the PSP only show's up as a DHCP client and not a Wireless client. I tried the option panel with the add wireless clients through the first try access. Could I get some help with this issue please? Thanks!

    Just to calm your fears... There is no conspiracy. If someone had an answer or a suggestion they would post it.

  • Anyone help ol' man with Cocoa project, please?

    Hi all,
    I recently volunteered to help transcribe Birth, Marriage and Death (BMD) records dating back to 1837 for FreeBMD -- a registered charity -- to help folks trace their family trees online. Unfortunately, while the Mac software has some nifty features, it's still really s-l-o-o-w and tedious to use and I reckon the speed and accuracy could be increased 3x using a slightly different approach.
    I was reasonably okay with 'C' in the old days but never quite managed to get my head around OOP yet (probably due to my age). The app I have in mind consists of an ultra-simple text editor (a la Apple's 15 minute example project) with combined bare-bones image/PDF viewer plus a few extra bells and whistles, and I've already designed the interface -- about as far as I can get for now
    I see a lot of really knowledgeable folks replying to postings in this discussion group, many with huge numbers of posts under their belts, and I reckon this would be considered a fairly 'trivial' app that could be knocked out during a long coffee break for anyone experienced in Cocoa programming.
    If you feel you'd like to help with this charitable, not-for-profit project, please email me at "ojisanATadamDOTcomDOTau" and I'll send you what I've got, together with some good sample code that clearly addresses most of the problems.
    Your input will help me get a handle on what eludes me about OOP (I learn really well by example), make life easier for all the Mac volunteer transcribers out there, help MILLIONS of hobbyists trace their ancestors quicker (genealogy is the #1 hobby in the US, and probably also in Australia, UK, and Canada etc.), and help level the playing field with Windows (their transcription solution is currently better than ours).
    Kind regards

    I aim to please.
    As for .NET, the major language for .NET development is C#, and this language is clearly based on Java with a few minor syntax changes. It uses exactly the same object model as Java, and even the underlying technology is similar to the Java Virtual Machine.
    I'm not attempting to convince you, just set the record straight.
    As long as we are setting the record straight, we should clarify a couple of things. .NET is the "virtual machine" part. You can use C#, J#, VB, or even a slightly twisted variant of C++ with .NET. For those of us who spent a few formative years swearing at MFC, .NET is a significant improvement.
    I haven't done much with .NET but I find it to be very much like Cocoa, both in the functionality it provides and the slightly twisted way you have to use it. In Cocoa, you have to use Objective-C or Objective-C++. In .NET, you have to use Microsoft's own slightly strange variants. If you can understand all the brackets, receivers, and messages in Cocoa, you shouldn't have any trouble with all the carets in .NET C++.
    You're quite right, it's obviously much less effort to write a program in Cocoa and then re-write it for .NET, than it is it to write it in Java in the first place and run it unchanged on three different platforms. Java is so portable that a Java program written on one platform doesn't even have to be re-compiled to run on another. If you write a program using Cocoa then you limit your market just to Macs - very much a minority platform compared to Windows. Write your program in Java and your market is literally unlimited.
    Everything you've said here is correct. Still, every Java program I have ever seen is clearly a "Java" program and usually cannot achieve the same level of integration with the OS that either .NET or Cocoa gives you by default. Java programmers still have to make an effort to ensure that their programs run and run well on platforms they didn't develop it on.

  • Need help with calculator project for an assignment...

    Hi all, I please need help with my calculator project that I have to do for an assignment.
    Here is the project's specifications that I need to do"
    """Create a console calculator applicaion that:
    * Takes one command line argument: your name and surname. When the
    program starts, display the date and time with a welcome message for the
    user.
    * Display all the available options to the user. Your calculator must include
    the arithmetic operations as well as at least five scientific operations of the
    Math class.
    -Your program must also have the ability to round a number and
    truncate it.
    -When you multiply by 2, you should not use the '*' operator to perform the
    operation.
    -Your program must also be able to reverse the sign of a number.
    * Include sufficient error checking in your program to ensure that the user
    only enters valid input. Make use of the String; Character, and other
    wrapper classes to help you.
    * Your program must be able to do conversions between decimal, octal and
    hex numbers.
    * Make use of a menu. You should give the user the option to end the
    program when entering a certain option.
    * When the program exits, display a message for the user, stating the
    current time, and calculate and display how long the user used your
    program.
    * Make use of helper classes where possible.
    * Use the SDK to run your program."""
    When the program starts, it asks the user for his/her name and surname. I got the program to ask the user again and again for his/her name and surname
    when he/she doesn't insert anything or just press 'enter', but if the user enters a number for the name and surname part, the program continues.
    Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??

    Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??You cannot restrict the user. It is a sad fact in programming that the worst bug always sits in front of the Computer.
    What you could do is checking the input string for numbers. If it contains numbers, just reprompt for the Name.
    AND you might want to ask yourself why the heck a calculator needs to know the users Name.

  • Help with J2EE Project Management

    Hi,
    We are about to begin a large J2EE project and are wondering if anyone could help with the following questions:
    1. Given the division of labor on J2EE projects (JSP developers, EJB developers, application deployers, etc...), what are "best practices" for building a team and ensuring that they communicate well after the design phase? How will the left arm know what the right arm is doing?
    2. What documentation should be produced during the design phase to give to the developers? Will this allow them to go off and develop independently of each other?
    3. Is there a "best practices" document anywhere on J2EE project management?
    Thanks in advance!!

    Hi,
    I feel any project to start with should have a prior planning,that too particularly for Object oriented programming projects,I feel UML is the best tool for entire process.I think rational software has got lot of Project Management Tools(PMT) and products at all stages.Please go through the rational.com site and hope you could find some info.I feel the answer to your second question is partly 'yes' and partly 'no'.The modules that you can split it up which have got some independent attributes,but it should not be too much in your project,then it affects the work matrix/There should be a optimal process to decide and that you can yourself formulate depending on the time frame,either way the last step of build or integration is not flexible enough that you should mind,modular flexibility can be there but the integration stage you are tied with a fixed process.So plan accordingly using a PMT tool for any project that matters and all the best.Bye

  • Help with UILabel subclass please

    Hello all... I have a UILabel subclass I call CustomLabel. Ive been googling and reading the apple docs this entire week to figure this out. The few examples Ive seen, I dont think Im doing it right.
    Im trying to create a subclass to use throughout my project. Every label will have these properties so I figured why not subclass. So through a lot of trial and error I ended up with this...
    CustomLabel.h
    #import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
    @interface CustomLabel : UILabel {
    @property (nonatomic) CGSize shadowOffset;
    @property (nonatomic) UITextAlignment *textAlignment;
    @property (nonatomic, retain) UIColor *shadowColor;
    @property (nonatomic, retain) UIColor *textColor;
    @property (nonatomic, retain) UIColor *backgroundColor;
    @property (nonatomic, retain) UIFont *font;
    @end
    CustomLabel.m
    #import "CustomLabel.h"
    #import "Constants.h"
    @implementation CustomLabel
    @synthesize textColor;
    @synthesize backgroundColor;
    @synthesize font;
    @synthesize shadowColor;
    @synthesize shadowOffset;
    - (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
    if ((self = [super initWithFrame:frame])) {
    self.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    self.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    self.font = SMALL_CHALKDUSTER;
    self.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0f green:0.0f blue:0.0f alpha:0.35f];
    self.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake (0, 2);
    self.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
    return self;
    - (void)dealloc {
    [super dealloc];
    @end
    I then allocate a label like so...
    ViewController.h
    CustomLabel *myLabel;
    @property (nonatomic, retain) CustomLabel *myLabel;
    ViewController.m
    myLabel = [[CustomLabel alloc] init];
    myLabel.text = @"Blah blah blah";
    I feel like Im way off on this... I must be since it isnt setting any of the properties Im trying to use in the subclass.
    I found an older post on the forums here for setting the textAlignment but for some reason I couldnt apply the same logic to mine.
    So can anyone help me with this subclass please and thank you?

    xnav... thanks a ton for pointing me to this link. Its got me closer to my end goal than I was before. Right now I have...
    CustomLabel.h
    #import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
    @interface CustomLabel : UILabel {
    @end
    CustomLabel.m
    #import "CustomLabel.h"
    #import "Constants.h"
    @implementation CustomLabel
    - (void) drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
    CGContextRef ctx = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    UIColor *lineColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    UIColor *shColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0f green:0.0f blue:0.0f alpha:0.35f];
    //UIColor *bkgColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(ctx, lineColor.CGColor);
    CGContextSetShadowWithColor(ctx, CGSizeMake(0, 2), self.font.pointSize / 2.0, shColor.CGColor);
    //CGRect drawRect = CGRectMake(rect.origin.x, rect.origin.y,rect.size.width, rect.size.height);
    //CGContextSetAlpha(ctx, 0) ;
    //CGContextFillRect(ctx, drawRect);
    //CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor(ctx, [[UIColor clearColor] CGColor]);
    //CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(ctx, [[UIColor clearColor] CGColor]);
    CGContextSetBlendMode(ctx, kCGBlendModeClear);
    //CGContextAddEllipseInRect(ctx,CGRectMake(size.width-(size.width/2)-(size.width/10), (size.width/10), (size.width/2), (size.height/2)));
    //CGContextClosePath(ctx);
    //CGContextDrawPath(ctx, kCGPathFillStroke);
    //CGContextSetTextDrawingMode(ctx, kCGTextFillStroke);
    //self.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    //[self setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
    [self.text drawInRect:self.bounds withFont:TINY_CHALKDUSTER lineBreakMode:self.lineBreakMode alignment:UITextAlignmentCenter];
    - (void)dealloc {
    [super dealloc];
    @end
    As you can see I have a couple of things commented out. LOL I still cant figure out how to make the background color clear. I also dont know if I need the dealloc in this subclass. But the other properties seem to be working like the font and line color.
    Thanks again for the link and getting me in the right direction xnav. If you can lend any more assistance on how to get that darn background color clear I would appreciate it!

  • Help with photo albums Please

    Hi, i really need some help with my pictures, I've only got a very basic understanding of how my phone works and have somehow put a load of albums on my phone when i plugged it into the computer-I want to delete some of them off the phone but cannot work out how to do it, when i plug my phone in i can find the photo tab but cannot actually see the pictures and can't see any delete button!!! Please can someone help me, basic explanations would be gratefully recieved xxxx

    The photo sync is one way: computer to phone. To remove photos, synced to your phone, remove the check marks next to the albums/folders under the photos tab in itunes & hit the apply/sync button. They will be removed from your phone. You cannot delete photos that were synced to your phone, directly on your phone. The easiest way to manage photos synced to your phone is to create albums or folders on your computer. Move whatever photos you want on your phone into these albums/folders & then select them under the photos tab in itunes to sync to your phone. You can then remove or add photos to these various albums/folders on your computer & the itunes sync process will update your phone every time you sync.

  • Help with Validation Problem Please

    I don't understand this validation and don't know how to fix it. I have checked my other websites and they seem fine. I don't think I have done anything different The link for the website ishttp://www.greenpatchwebsites.com/pow/index.html

    I also tried the recommended template:
    Use the following markup as a template to create a new XHTML 1.0 document using a proper DOCTYPE. See the list below if you wish to use another document type.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    Thanks very much again in advance.

  • Help with button code please?

    I am a novice and have just completed my first animated movie. I need help with action script.
    The movie is currently looped and I have created and invisible button the size of the frame with the intention that a user can click on the movie image to stop it and on second click continue the movie from where it stopped.
    I have used the AS event handler method to stop the movie. I have tested it and it works. But I cannot figure suitable code to restart the movie.
    Two questions;
    1. am I going about the task the right way? (should I use two buttons, one stop, one start)?
    2. if my approach is feasible, can anyone give me the correct AS to re-start the movie and put me out of my misery please?

    you can use the following after changing "yourbutton" and "yourmovieclip" to use suitable instance names:
    yourbutton.onRelease=function(){
    if(!this.toggle){
    yourmovieclip.stop();
    } else {
    yourmovieclip.play();
    this.toggle=!this.toggle;

  • Help with Required fields-PLEASE

    I have been attempting to get help with a required field and one of the forum helpers said he got it to work for me but I cannot and I have not been able to get any more responses from him to help me further.
    I am attempting to have a radio box when the YES is selected to require another field to be completed.  The script I was provided with is:
    getField("Location").required = (getField("Group1").value == "Yes");
    Location being the field that I require to be filled in if Group 1 is Yes.  The previous forum helper indicated that I had to have this script in both fields in Group 1 and when I do that, nothing different happens. 
    What am I doing wrong? 
    Please, I need to fix this right away and I will be using this java script on many other forms that I have so I need to get this done soon.
    Thank you in advance.

    Wht you want can get somewhat complicated. One way to prevent subsequent fields from being used is to set them to read-only and/or hidden. You could then use the Validate event of the text field to validate the entry and enable the subsequent fields if it is filled-in adequately. In general, you should also reset the fields whenever you hide them, so they don't contain potentially invalid data from previously being filled-in. So you could initially have the fields set to be hidden, and only unhide them if No is selected, or if Yes is selected and the required text field is filled-in.
    I realize this may not be as helpful as you had hoped for, but I can't suggest specific code without knowing more about the form.

  • Help with a routine please

    Hi experts!
    I have a requirement and I need help with an abap routine.
    I'm uploading a table from de ECC where each record contains one key figure per fiscal period (wlt01, wlt02,...wlt16). I need to have in a dso a unique key figure (called zwlt for instance) and the 0fiscper infoobject filled with the corresponding period, that is, for each record of the table, I need 16 records in the DSO with zwlt = wltXX and the fiscper = fiscyear&0&XX.
    Any help please?
    Thanks in advance.

    there are multiple ways to handle this.
    one way is to use APD to unpivot the data.
    or else you can use the following sample code to derive what you want...this code might just hint at the way to proceed.
    TYPES:
      BEGIN OF tys_SC_1,
          wlt01           TYPE P LENGTH 8 DECIMALS 2,
          wlt02           TYPE P LENGTH 8 DECIMALS 2,
          wlt03           TYPE P LENGTH 8 DECIMALS 2,
          wlt04           TYPE P LENGTH 8 DECIMALS 2,
          wlt05           TYPE P LENGTH 8 DECIMALS 2,
          wlt06           TYPE P LENGTH 8 DECIMALS 2,
          wlt07           TYPE P LENGTH 8 DECIMALS 2,
          wlt08           TYPE P LENGTH 8 DECIMALS 2,
          wlt09           TYPE P LENGTH 8 DECIMALS 2,
          wlt10           TYPE P LENGTH 8 DECIMALS 2,
          wlt11           TYPE P LENGTH 8 DECIMALS 2,
          wlt12           TYPE P LENGTH 8 DECIMALS 2,
      END OF tys_SC_1.
    DATA: ls_type TYPE tys_SC_1,
          l_name TYPE string,
          l_count Type n length 2.
    FIELD-SYMBOLS:
                <fs_type> TYPE tys_SC_1,
                <result>  TYPE P .
    ls_type-wlt01 = '1.1'.
    ls_type-wlt02 = '2.2'.
    ls_type-wlt03 = '3.3'.
    ls_type-wlt04 = '4.4'.
    ls_type-wlt05 = '5.5'.
    ls_type-wlt06 = '6.6'.
    ls_type-wlt07 = '7.7'.
    ls_type-wlt08 = '8.8'.
    ls_type-wlt09 = '9.9'.
    ls_type-wlt10 = '10.1'.
    ls_type-wlt11 = '11.11'.
    ls_type-wlt12 = '12.12'.
    CLEAR:  l_count ,  l_name.
    l_count = '01'.
    ASSIGN ls_type TO <fs_type> .
    Write: / .
    DO 12 TIMES.
      clear: l_name.
      Concatenate 'wlt'  l_count into l_name.
      ASSIGN COMPONENT l_name  OF STRUCTURE  <fs_type> TO <result> .
      Write: / , l_name , ' = ' , <result>.
      l_count = l_count + 1 .
    ENDDO.
    hope it helps.
    Regards

  • Help with Wireless thingy Please!!!

    Hi, could someone please help with this? I am quite computer literate except when it comes to anything wireless or networking as it is something I've never used, so heres the problem - I bought ATV, and put a wireless card in the computer - do i need a seperate router to create a network? ATV searches for a network, and finds one, but I am not sure its mine!! ATV not coming up in itunes. Ive tried everything, but its just not happening. If I need a router, fine I'll get one, but if not could I have some instructions please?!!!! Like what on earth do I put in if adding network to atv manually? How do I know what my network name is? Tried with firewalls disabled, and added ports 3689 and 5353 to exceptions. Bearing in mind I need translations for things like DHCP etc! Its a Belkin Wireless G+ Network Card, compatible with ATV. Please help as this is the only thing standing between me and music heaven!!thankyou!

    On a mac you could create an ad hoc network with a mac with wi-fi card only and internet sharing enabled, I've not done it and I don't know whether one has the choice to name the network or whether it will be identified as the mac's network name. I guess you will need advice from a PC guy as to whether this can be done on a PC, but my guess is that it can.

    One way is to
    1) pass a reference of the Window object to the USDListener class, and set a local Window variable say call it window, to this reference.
    2) Give the Window class a public method that returns a String and allows you to get the text from USDField. Same to allow you to set text on the euroField.
    3) Give the Listener class a Converter object.
