How can I draw dashed lines on a Picture Control?

I have loaded a *jpg map onto a Picture Control.
I then load a file of X-Y coordinates that make-up different legs which are connected.
I need to make these lines dashed. Before I spend time on adding new points in between
points and then alternate between "Draw line" &
"Draw point", I wonder if there is an easier
way of maybe changing the attribute of the
line with "Draw Multiple Lines" ???

I have been trying to draw dashed lines too. I have tried drawing a dash and then putting it in a loop. the loop executes after the user has lifted the mouse and then it gets the end point of the line. the problem is that the line appears only after the mouse has been pressed, dragged and released. I was wondering if you have managed to solve your problem. If yes then could you help me with it.

I want to know how to draw arrows & dashed lines in a picture control

I have to draw arrows & dashed lines in a picture control. Just like we can do that in word or paint etc. I need to do the same using the mouse and drag the line/arrow till I realease the mouse. I am able to this for a normal line ( it works perfectly) but when I have to draw an arrow or a line I am stumped.

Unfortunately, you have to code your own VIs to do these. It's not going to be too complicated if you manage the animation (while dragging the mouse) with a normal line and draw the dashed line/arrow at the end (when releasing the mouse button).
In both cases, you'll know start/end line coordinates, thus having the line equation. For arrows, you need to calculate the angle in order to draw it properly.
A simpler solution may be an activeX control with these features (Paint like) already integrated or to develop one in Visual Basic (at least it will be simpler to manage mouse events and drawing tasks).
Let's hope somebody already did it and wants to share.

How can I draw a line in Preview without the arrow head

Hello all!
How can I draw a line in Preview without the arrow head at the end of the line?

Yes. Once you select the line bar a new entry will appear where you can select what type of line. Based on my experience whether or not it will change is iffy.

How can we delete a line from the table control .

hi all
how can we delete a line from the table control .
situation is.
created table control in se51 which will display the data of a table.
how could i select a line from the table control ?
how could i delete the selected lines form the table.
thanks in advance

Change the Table Control attributes such that user can only select a single record(row).
<u>Tip to delete a selected record</u>
1) write a module 'Mark' in the PAI as below
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE cancel AT EXIT-COMMAND.
LOOP WITH CONTROL table_view.
MODULE read_table_control.
FIELD flag MODULE mark ON INPUT.
ENDLOOP.
MODULE user_command_0100.
2) Module Mark is below.
MODULE mark INPUT.
CHECK flag = 'X'.
x = table_view-top_line + sy-stepl - 1.
Delete itab INDEX x.
ENDMODULE. " mark INPUT
Table_view is the TableControl Name.
'flag' is of type char(1) available in the Internal table which was assigned to the select option in the table control.
<u>award if uesful</u>

How can I set the caption text of picture controls inside an array or how can I choose which array element is assigned using the array elements caption text property.

I have 8 picture controls inside an array and I would like to set the caption text of these controls.
I have used the property node of the array and used the array elements property caption text to set the text.
The problem is however that I set the same text to all the picture controls inside the array.
My question is how to set caption text of specific elements (Picture control) that I have so far only been able to access using the array elements caption text property.

Some more help
1 You could use the caption of the array and place it in front of the selected picture and update that using property nodes.
2 Like Norbett said if you use a cluster of pictures then their caption can be updated individually.
Here is a an example that demonstrates the above

How can I use more lines to show a field of a row in a report?

How can I use more lines to show a field of a row in a report? Table A have two columns: (c1 number(5),c2 varchar2(1000)).When I show the table on a report,the column c2 show itself in one row.So the width of html page is very wide.How can I split the field c2 to many lines?
Thanks for any help.

I was wondering if an answer was found for this one.
I have the same problem using the default "Look 4" template for the region. I have found in the CSS file where it is defined and it specifies "nowrap" in the style, which is why the long value is not being split over multiple lines.
So, my question is, without modifying or creating templates, is there a way to override the "nowrap" attribute from within the item definition? e.g. in the Column Attributes.Column Formatting.CSS Style field. I had some success changing the display properties, such as background colour and font size but I can't seen to override the nowrap attribute!

How can I make a line at 40 degree angle in Keynote 6

How can you make a line of 40 degrees (or anywhere between 40 to 45) angle in the new Keynote 6.2.2. It seems they took away that nice feature from the previous version. When I move one end of a line, it locks onto 45 when I get near that angle, and jumps off directly to 34 when I try to move away. Previously you could click on a line to transform the ends into red spots, and move them independently to any angle or length. Now it locks onto 45, or 135 or 90 etc. I don't have any of the guides on or any other feature. This is supposed to happen only when holding shift key (which is also a great feature). If it locks onto the magic angles without holding shift, then there is no sense if having that feature at all.

Press the command key when dragging, this switches off snapping and allows continuous placement.
If you like numerical control: Inspector > Format > Arrange > Rotate

How can you change your line access selection? I have found where you can change your plan selection, but can you change the line access fee or is that a set amount?

DIVAB71,
Great question. The line access fees for the account are a set amount and can not be changed unless you are going from a basic to a smartphone or vice versa. If you are wondering about adding the month to month discount if you are out of contract Ann154 has provided great information on how to access and add the feature.

Hi,
I have tried

and this only allows you to change existing lines not add lines.
Since its outboud delivery that I'm interested in I will not look at the inbound that you suggested.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

How can hide the command line of a t.code in the portal

Dear Experts.
I have the following doubt:
How can hide the Command Line of a Report that is called with a T.Code in the portal?
Attach Image:
[Image T.Code|http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/eab3b6a03c.jpg]
When I created a service using the T.Code SICF for the T.Code , I can hide buttons and the filed command line using
~webgui_simple_toolbar
~singletransaction
~NOHEADEROKCODE
With notes 1010519, "SAP GUI for HTML: Simplified Title Area Without Menu and OK Code" and 959417.
But the problem is that when I create the service in the T.Code SICF, I also have that create an Iview IAC in the portal.
The Question is : How can hide this fields and buttons if I want Publish the T.code using an Iview Transaction in the portal?
In this moment I have used the two options:
1 option) I created a service using the t.Code SICF for my Transaction and I also created an Iview IAC in the portal for call the service.
RESULT:
SAP Web Application Server
         500 Connection timed out
        Error: -5
       Version: 7000
       Component: ICM

       Module: icxxthr_mt.c
       Line: 2698
       Server: xyxab...
Error Tag: {-}
Detail: Connection to partner timed out after 60s
2) created an Iview Transaction in the portal and call my transaction.
RESULT.
[Image T.Code|http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/eab3b6a03c.jpg]
But not can hide the field Command Line and other buttons.
I think that the command :
~webgui_simple_toolbar
~singletransaction
~NOHEADEROKCODE
Only can be used if I create a service using the T.Code SICF .
Best Regards
Carmen.

Hi Carmen,
The bottom line is that this cannot be done for transaction iviews without modifying the standard webgui service in SICF, which is probably not a good idea (since it affects everyone using SAP GUI for HTML). (You could hack the appintegrator to add the ~webgui_simple_toolbar parameter to the transaction URL template in the portal, but again its not a recommended thing to do ...). Better to create an IAC service in SICF with ~webgui=1 where you set the required appearance using an appropriate value for ~webgui_simple_toolbar, and then create an IAC iview to point at this service.
You can even override the ~transaction value configured in the new service in individual IAC iviews by entering the appropriate value in the application parameter of the iview, for example:
~okcode=/nSU01
And you can pass parameters in the same way:
~okcode=/nSU01 USR02-BNAME=xyz;USREFUS-USERALIAS=abc;
By the way, it would not be recommended to create a URL iview to access an IAC, since you are likely to encounter session management issues in this scenario - better to use an IAC iview.

Help!How can i draw an image that do not need to be displayed?

I want to draw an image and save it as an jpeg file.
first I have to draw all the elements in an image object.I write a class inherit from Class Component,I want to use the method CreateImage,but I get null everytime.And i cannot use the method getGraphics of this object.Thus i can not draw the image.
when i use an applet,it runs ok.I use panel and frame,and it fails.
How can i draw an image without using applet,because my programme will be used on the server.
Thank you.

you could try this to create the hidden image
try
          GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
          GraphicsDevice gs = ge.getDefaultScreenDevice();
          GraphicsConfiguration gc = gs.getDefaultConfiguration();
          offImage = gc.createCompatibleImage(100, 100);
          offG = offImage.getGraphics();
      catch(Exception e)
