Hide/Show Dock boolean?

Is there a simple boolean to show/hide the dock?
I don't mean toggling its current status (as can be done with the system keystroke), rather something on the order of "dock visible true/false".
Thanks.

You can set the 'Dock's 'autohide' to (boolean) 'Yes' or 'No'. via AppleScript.
-- Enable 'Dock' autohide.
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.dock autohide -bool Yes; killall Dock"
-- Disable 'Dock' autohide.
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.dock autohide -bool No; killall Dock"

Hide/show dock no longer works

Out of the blue, the dock has gone wonky. I have always had it set to hide/show, without problems. Now mousing over the bottom of the screen doesn't bring up the dock anymore. Even CMD-OPT D doesn't make the dock show its face, so I have to leave hiding off, and I really don't want the dock to be showing all the time. What I've tried so far without success:
--checked the settings (bottom, turn hiding on/off), all as they should be
--made sure the screen wasn't zoomed
--relaunched the dock
--rebooted
If anybody has an idea of what I might try, I'd very much appreciate the help.

Go to /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences and delete these 2 files /com.apple.dock.plist
and com.apple.dock.db.plist
Then restart. This will give you the default Dock, so you'll have to reset yours the way you like it)

Hide/Show Dock Icon

I remember seeing somewhere, I think it was here or on Mac OS X Hints, where someone had created an applet that you could use to hide or show a dock icon. I had downloaded it, but I deleted it and can no longer find it. I looked in my TM backups in the applications folder where it was located and it is not there as far back as I can go. Does anyone know of or remember this. I am using a Drobo system and want the Drobo Dashboard app to launch at startup. I have it set in my login item prefs to do so, with it hidden. It works fine, and does not open the app window, so checking the hide box works. It only works to a point, though. As long as the app is running it's icon shows up in the dock. I don't want that there.

Hi,
great news. Glad to be of help.
MacUpdate and VersionTracker http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/ are my main resources for software.

Hide and show dock problems

Hi all,
Can anyone help with my dock problem.
It wont show it's self anymore. I can turn off "Auotmatically hide and show dock" and it seems to function ok. But if i have that option selected it wont reveal, when i roll over the active area, it strobes/flashes the names of the applications but no dock.
Had same problem after several resarts and a night shut down.
yuk...
I'm running 10.3.9 with all updates, on a single 1.8 G5.
Thanks inadvance!

Hi s!, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and delete that file. Then log out and back in or restart. You will have to reset some Dock icons.
If that does not sort it, navigate to yourhome/library/preferences and trash these two files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
Again, log out and back in again or restart.

Automatically hide & show the Dock not working

The Dock keeps getting stuck. When I turn the computer on it works fine. But then after a while, the Dock doesn't automatically show when the cursor is at the foot of the screen. If I click at the foot of the screen the Dock appears.
Also, the magnification isn't working. It magnifies the app closest to where I click at the foot of the screen, but the Dock is then 'frozen' and moving the cursor left & right doesn't have any magnifying effect.
I tried turning off Automatically hide & show the Dock and get no magnification whatsoever.
I don't get any of these problems on my Intel'd MacBookPro - just my 2GHz Dual 3GB RAM Power Mac.

I have exactly the same problem on a G5 and a 20' dualcore, both running Leopard...and also when you drop down the menus from the finder bar the selection doesn't turn blue when you run the cursor over them...but this problem hasn't affected my G4 ibook yet...
I don't think Leopard is as stable yet as we would like it to be but i'm sure these little niggles will be sorted out in due time, Tiger was such a good stable OS and Leopard has a lot to live up too..!
It would be nice to get these things sorted sooner rather than later....!

Problem in Hide/Show in a Table Row

Hi,
i have to create 4 pages and each page has a table region with displaying records and a column "LINK" to go to the next page with the parameters from that record. Every link has a batchId and one another Id as parameter to next page. The next page reads the parameters and queries the corresponding table for details of that results table region contained in that page.
Thus i have 4 pages with 4 table regions and each table region is associated with a view object which is based on an EO connected with a database table. (4 VO's).
Now in every table i have a detail region (hide/show) which shows error records for a row ....
thus there are 4 ViewLinks for all 4 VO to a single ERROR VO.
I have 4 instances of ERRORVO in AM like ERRORVO1, ERRORVO2, ERRORVO3, ERRORVO4.
Now, the hide/show region is working properly on the first 3 pages with proper navigation to pages.
Then, i created the 4th page and created the table region in the 4th page.
From the 3rd page i have passed 2 parameters through the link and also retainAM=Y.
i have captured both parametres and call a method to populate data in table of 4th page.
Successfully done..running properly....
Now i added the detail region which is a table as previous pages in the 4th page with ERRORVO4...
Then when i run the page i get the 1st page and thrugh link i move to 2nd and to 3rd page. But when i click on the link on 3rd page to move to 4th page i m getting "NullPointerException" with "check Inner table properties"
Now i removed the detail region (Hide/show) only from the 4th page and again run the page . its working properly for all 4 pages with proper navigation but i am not able to see errors with hide/show on 4th page and it is required.
i m not getting what could be the reason...
do i need to remove retainAM=Y from the page navigation links.?????
and is there anything like we cant create more no. of instances (4) of a single VO in an AM.....????
Any alternative for showing the errors on 4th page with Hide/Show or without Hide/Show????

Thiago,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I am now getting the following error below:
Am I suppose to add another field to my VO select?

Adding logic to the hide/show

Hi Guys
I am pretty new at this so please excuse my ignorance. I have added hide/show regions into a cell of an advanced table. In the VO I also coded in the boolean decode.
So now when I run my page I get the the following: where there is details for the cell the cell is in Hide status, when the details are null its in show status.
The decode is as follows: decode(contact_details.contact_name,Null,'0','1'). The attribute is set to Boolean.
My issue is when I click on the hide/show link on the page it does not "work". ie: if I click on the show status it does not toggle to hide status and visa versa.
Am I meant to add logic to the controller?
Thanks

Is your page embedded in a workflow page or notification? If so, then you cann't have hide/show action rather any action on your page as per workflow standards. They require you to embed a region and not a page.

How to only show dock when no apps are open

I would like for a way to configure my dock so that it is only visible when my desktop is showing, and that it goes into the "automatically show and hide the dock" when applications are open on my current desktop. This would allow for a full screen experience in-app, but still have the convenience of all my apps visible when I do not have an app open on my current desktop.
I assume a simple application or mod could be built to allow for this?

Hi,

Validation on items in Hide/Show Region

I have a validation on an item that is in a hide/show region. I display all my errors in-line with the field. When the validations fires, after the page is submitted, the hid/show region is closed so the user can't see the error. Is there a way in the validation to open the hide/show region so the error can be seen? I had tried this in my validation, but it doesn't work.

Hi,
You can try below steps:
1) In PR, get handle to Hide Show bean.
OADefaultHideShowBean hsb = (OADefaultHideShowBean)findIndexedChildRecursive("beanID") ;
2) Expand the bean by using 'setDefaultDisclosed' property.
hsb.setDefaultDisclosed(pageContext, Boolean.TRUE) ;

How to control "hide/show" in a table on row level

I was trying to implement controlling/rendering of "hide/show" in a table on row level, but no luck. Is is possible to render the "hide/show" in a table based on the row attribute? If the row attribute is "true", then render the "hide/show" at that row; If the row attribute is "false", then not render the "hide/show" for that row. Is this feasible? Thanks.

I think this should be possible, what u need to do is as follows:
1) Add a decode statement to your VO query to get 0/1 based on your condition like
decode('',true,0,1) render_flag
2) In VO attrinute mappings caste this attribute as boolean instead of number.
3) Attach this attribute to render flag of hide/show via SPEL.

Where is hide/show toolbar button?

Hello all,
I have purchased Aperture as a retail package, and I am running Snow Leopard. I have a "hide/show Toolbar" button in the upper left of the title bar, as indicated in the included screenshot.
I used Aperture on a friend's machine, and he does not have the oblong "hide/show toolbar" button. His OS is Lion with Aperture installed from the Mac Store.
Does anyone have any ideas about why he would not have this convenient button, while I do?
nathan

Hello Nathan,
if you want a button in the toolbar to toggle it on and of, you could do the following:
Create an AppleScript to toggle the Toolbar on and off
Save the script as an application
Assign a nice icon to it, just like the drop of toothpaste, the button used to look like
Drag the Apple Script to your Finder toolbar
This AppleScript seems to toggle the toolbar - I have not done much testing so far:
(* Toggle the Finder Window Toolbar , Autor LDF *)
tell application "Finder"
activate
          set wi to front window
          set vis to (get toolbar visible of wi)
          if vis then
                    set (toolbar visible of wi) to false
          else
                    set (toolbar visible of wi) to true
          end if
          return vis
end tell
The only problem is, you can easily hide the toolbar this way, but once the toolbar is hidden, you cannot turn it on again, since the button now is hidden , so you may wish to put a link to the script in the Dock as well
Cheers

Command to show dock?

Is there a command to show dock if I have it hidden or do i just have to
drag my mouse to it every time?

Alternatively if you find that the default shortcut (as previously mentioned) conflicts with third party applications (ie. Adobe Photoshop/Quark Xpress), or you just want a different shortcut, then you can assign another one by:
1. Open System Preferences
2. Select the 'Keyboard & Mouse' preference
3. Select the 'Keyboard Shortcuts' pane
4. Scroll down to the 'Automatically hide and show the Dock' setting
5. Click on the default shortcut, Cmd-alt-D, and enter your desired shortcut by pressing the relevant keys.

How to hide/show and move screenelements at runtime

Hi Guys
    Currently, i have a requirment that, in the same screen, when user choose different different option in the dropdown list, there should be different screenelements and table control with different columns showing below it.
Now, i have two plans below:
1), hide/show and move position of screen elements and table control at runtime
2), call different subscreen
I hope i can take the first way since the second way will modify structure of program ( As it is infotype screen ), any one knows how to implement the first solution?

Hi,
I would suggest you to call different subscreens and load them dynamically based on your parameters.Since different subscreen are called your coding and functionality could also be seperated by writing in the PAI and PBO of the correspondiong Screens.
if you have decided to go by your first method then try the below code.
a) if it is normal UI elements like text box etc
LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF <var> = ' value '.
        screen-invisible = '0'.
        MODIFY SCREEN.
endif
ENDLOOP.
Here <var> refers to the screen field name and value refers to its value.
b) To hide columns in a Table control.
DATA cols LIKE LINE OF tc-cols.
LOOP AT tc-cols INTO cols.
    IF cols-screen-group1 = 'G1'.
      cols-invisible = 'X'. "HIDE THIS COLUMN
      MODIFY tc-cols
      FROM cols
      TRANSPORTING invisible.
    ENDIF.
    CLEAR cols.
ENDLOOP.
PS: here TC refers to the name of the table control.
Lemme know if you face any problems.
Cheers,

Any setter/getter method being used on hide/show action? How are you enabling the details? Is there a transient column in your VO?
