How can I construct a custom PDA dialog?

Hi,
I need to display a PDA dialog along the lines of "Do you want to save the data, Yes/No?
The two button dialog in LabVIEW is ideal, but on the PDA module you can't set the button text. OK and Cancel don't cut it, as this dialog presents one option at the start of a process. The process continues whether or not you save the data. The cancel button creates the impression that the whole process could be cancelled, not just the file save.
Does anyone know if it's possible to create a custom dialog? Everything I try displays as a full size screen, I have found nothing I can adjust to appear like a pop-up dialog box.
Doas anyone know how this can be done, or is it a non starter?
I'm using LabVIEW and PDA module 8.5 (for Windows mobile, not the Palm version)
Thanks.
Bandit

Hi Bandit
Yes it is possible within labVIEW. The principle of creating a popup dialog box is creating a subVI and changing the window appearance to call the front panel with limited options available.
To do this go into the VI properties either in File>>VI properties or Ctrl I. From here go to the window appearance tab and either select dialogue box or custom and then customize the options that you would like.
To ensure that you have a small pop-up and not a full screen I would recommend resizing your subVI front panel whether on manually by dragging or by changing the window size options in the VI properties again. Remember here to have selected the do not show scroll bars in appearance.
When This VI runs now in your program it should call the front panel and then close it again afterwards.
The method above is a generic for labVIEW which I have not tried on a PDA. If you can confirm that you have done the above and are sure that your size settings are correct and it still is not functioning as a proper dialogue box then I will look further into setting it up on your PDA.

How can I add a custom attribute to a catalog area? (CRM Isa Sales)

Gents,
How can I add a custom attribute to a catalog area? (CRM Isa Sales)
Actually I would like to use the Catalog Area Type (maintained in trx COMM_PCAT_ADM on Catalog Area Header level). This field doesn't seem to be available in J2EE webshop. (The field documentation says it is for documentation purposes only so I don't expect it to be transferred).
As this field is not readily available, I would like to add is as an attribute to the Catalog Area. BADI's PCAT_IMS_FEED_ATT and PCAT_IMS_FEED_VAL seem to indicate that it should be possible to add additional fields not only on product level, but also on Area level:
Example implementation code:
method IF_EX_PCAT_IMS_FEED_ATT~READ_NEW_FIELDS.
* Example, how to add new attributes to a indexcategory
* Possible levels are 'C'ategory and 'P'roduct.
* Field 'VALUE' carries the attributetype ('S'tring, 'I'ntegar or
* 'F'loat)
* Structure 'IS_OBJECTS' carries actuall identifiers
data: ls_fields        type comt_pcat_ims_feed_ux.
case iv_level.
    when 'C'.                        "Category Level
*     no new field
    when 'P'.                        "Product Level
      ls_fields-field = 'CUSTOMER_EXIT_FIELD'.
      ls_Fields-value = 'S'.
      append ls_fields to ct_fields.
*     exproduct fields
      ls_fields-field = 'REMAN_ABL'.
      APPEND ls_fields TO ct_fields.
      ls_fields-field = 'EXCH_BUS'.
      APPEND ls_fields TO ct_fields.
endcase.
endmethod.
However, when I create an implementation and add some code in the when 'C' part, the attributes do not seem to get transferred. (I've checked in the debug mode of the developer studio).
- My example code:
METHOD if_ex_pcat_ims_feed_att~read_new_fields.
* Possible levels are 'C'ategory and 'P'roduct.
* Field 'VALUE' contains the attributetype
* ('S'tring, 'I'ntegar or * 'F'loat)
DATA:
ls_fields LIKE LINE OF ct_fields.
CASE iv_level.
    WHEN 'C'.                        "Category Level
      ls_fields-value = 'S'.
      ls_fields-field = 'ZTEST'.
       APPEND ls_fields TO ct_fields.
    WHEN 'P'.                        "Product Level
ENDCASE.
ENDMETHOD.
and:
METHOD if_ex_pcat_ims_feed_val~read_new_fields.
CASE iv_level.
    WHEN 'C'.
     ls_fields-field = 'ZTEST'.
     ls_Fields-value = 'Value 1'.
     append ls_fields to ct_fields.
    WHEN 'P'.
ENDCASE.
ENDMETHOD.
In the ABAP debugger, I can see that my code is touched during initial and delta replications, however, after replication, the fields do not show up in the Java debugger.
Any ideas?

Hi,
How can I customize the /bin/wcmcommand or how can I make use of [2] to create a custom WCMCommand?
I think the "formUrl" is to post those input value to the jcr repository?
var createDialog = {
        "jcr:primaryType": "cq:Dialog",
        "id": CQ.Util.createId("cq-createdialog"),
        "title":CQ.I18n.getMessage("Create Page"),
        "formUrl": CQ.shared.HTTP.externalize("/bin/wcmcommand"),
        "params": {
            "cmd":"createPage",
            "_charset_":"utf-8"
I have added a field called "starred"
Moreover, when I using the firebug to trace the post command, I can see that the starred value is posted also.
:status
browser
_charset_
utf-8
cmd
createPage
label
b
parentPath
/content/keyword_elaboration
starred
c
template
/libs/collab/commons/templates/form
title
a
Source
cmd=createPage&_charset_=utf-8&%3Astatus=browser&parentPath=%2Fcontent%2Fkeyword_elaboration&title=a&label=b&starred=c&template=%2Flibs%2Fcollab%2Fcommons%2Ftemplates%2Fform
However, when I go to the crxde to view the node's attribute, the properity starred is not created
Are there anything I did wrong or missing?
Thanks.

Unfortunately, this is a problem that is driven by the DRM Dictatorship. Despite the proliferation of mobile devices and the fact that there are many of us who do a lot of international travel, content providers don't want you to have access to their products outside of your homeland. The Balkanized mentality of the DRM Dictatorship is way out of touch with the modern world.
At least Apple, to its credit, allows you to use your accounts outside of your homeland as long as you have the proper credentials for them. Most other services use the more Draconian geolocation filtering which does require you to be physically present in your homeland. For the most part, you are not allowed to leave home if you want access to your favorite entertainment!

How can i use my custom login page in a custom partner application ?

I cannot begin to express my level of frustration. I have been trying to use the composition widget light box display for some time now. I drag the widget to my document. The default widget has three small trigger boxes and a large area made up of a forward and backward button, a background, a text box and a frame for your image.
My steps have been …
I click on the little trigger box.
I click on the frame that holds the main image.
I go to the fill menu and browse my computer for my image and then click OK.
IT shows up on my screen. Yay
I attempt to continue using the next two trigger boxes provided in the widget.
After that, I add more by clicking on the little plus sign.
This is where all heck breaks loose.
Every single time I attempt to add thumbnails, something messes up. When I go to preview, either not all of my main images show up, or it starts with the wrong one, or some are missing. I have looked and looked for help on this and the only thing I can find is how easy it is to create a great portfolio lightbox display. But as we know, that only works when your thumbnails are the same image as the images in your lightbox. If you want something different, you have to use the composition wizard. I am finding it extremely difficult and confusing to customize.
Is there an exact sequence you need to use to add images to the slideshow? I am my wits end.

How can I construct Group contact files of email addresses?

How can I construct 'Group' files of email addresses, i.e. the equivalent of files of multiple email addresses that are easily constructed in Outlook Express for sending an email to multiple people by simply entering the name of the file containing the email addresses to which one wishes to send a given email?

Unfortunately, you can't do that in the contacts app or in the mail app on the iPad. There are a couple of third party apps that I know that will do that for you. MailShot and Group Email With Attachments.

How can I create a custom sized video in PP cs6?

How can I create a custom sized video in PP cs6? I have read references to the "desktop" setting but cannot find it. I am trying to find the right settings for a 1080 px x 486 px video (which I need to qualify for hi res on Vimeo). I need to output a 450 x 1000 px video for
my website. Ideally, I'd like the sequence settings as well as the output settings. I am using still shots- no actual video.

What are the exact properties of the still images, particularly the pixel dimensions and pixel aspect ratio (PAR).* The letterboxing (black bars top & bottom) is most likely a result of a mismatch in these settings. If this is the case, then the easiest fix is to make sure not only the dimensions but the PAR match.
Say for instance your source images are 1000x1000 with a PAR of 1.0 (square pixels) and your sequence is set also set to 1000x1000 but with the PAR set to D1/DV NTSC (0.9091), the result would be letterboxing as seen here:
*if you're not sure about the PAR of your source images, right click on one of them in the Project panel and select Properties.

By default, iTunes convert files to type AAC which has an extension of .m4a
For iTunes to recognize them as Audiobook files, the extension needs to change from .m4a to .m4b
This can be done a number of different ways. Here are 2 (beginner and advanced)
. simply, by renaming each file from windows explorer
. more complex, by using Start/Run/cmd to get a "DOS" type window,
using the command "cd" to change to the directory that your files are in
and entering "ren *.m4a *.m4b"

How can I allow a customer to upload an image to be stuck onto a mug or t-shirt and then view what it would look like on that mug or t-shirt?

In the absence of drivers, a rather nasty way to achieve this would be to ensure that your software always occupies the same portion of the screen such that you know the position of the 'sample' button. You could then simulate a mouse click at those coordinates when you require a sample to be taken.
This would not be a robust solution as a user could move or minimise the window, or other windows could also find their way into the critical position and cause the application to work incorrectly or cause unexpected things to happen.
However, if you just need a short term work around this method might be acceptable, just be aware of the risks if you try it.
Searching for simulate mouse clicks and having a play is the way forward.
As an example of simulating a mouse click in a certain position, have a look here:

How can i extend the customer to other sales area

how can i extend the customer to other sales area

Hello Harish,
Once you have a customer (eg. 100002) in one sales area (eg. 0010/10/10), you open XD01 tcode, enter the same customer number (100002) in customer field and enter sales area (say u want to create in 0020/10/10) in which you want to create the same customer. Now in Reference section, enter the customer number (100002) and sales area in which already the customer exists (0010/10/10). When you press enter, it allows you to modify the sales area data for the customer for new sales area.
then save it.
Hope it is clear...

How can i call skype customer support

how can i call skype customer support +1800 is not working

Hi, itsolution123, and welcome to the Community,
Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
Skype is aware there can be problems reaching their customer support unit. If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service, try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.

Elaine
