How to access Attachments directly in Preview Pane view

Hi,
i've designed a xsltView on a SharePoint list using the standard preview pane in sharepoint designer. Attachments to list items are displayed in a row named 'Attachments' with a paper-clip icon. Is there any way to access the files in the attachment directly
in the preview pane? Any xsl or java script solutions would be great.
I've tried so far to access it with a little java script
<xsl:for-each select="ViewFields/FieldRef[not(@Explicit='TRUE')]">
<tr>
<td nowrap="nowrap" valign="top" width="190px" class="ms-formlabel">

<xsl:value-of select="@DisplayName"/>

</td>
<td valign="top" class="ms-formbody" width="400px" id="n{position()}{$WPQ}">
<xsl:if test="@DisplayName='Attachments'">
<script type="text/javascript">var url = "%MYSITE/LISTNAME%/Attachments/"+"<xsl:value-of select="@ID"/>";</script>
<td><a href="javascript:document.location=url">CLICK</a></td>
</xsl:if>
</td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
the xsl:for-each block is the part where the table for the preview pane will be created. In the
xsl:if test="@DisplayName='Attachments'"
block i try to build the url path to the attachments. Usually the attachments are stored like. ...mysite/listname/Attachments/[ID]/...
The Problem is, that i don't receive the proper ID Value, i get a string like '2445-5456-35464-234' (for example)
The next Problem would be to get the prober name of the attached files.
Does anyone know a solution for that. Maybe there's a simple line of xsl to do this.
thanks and best regards,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
Please add below code within a column in the XSLT list view to display attachments of each list item.
<SharePoint:AttachmentsField ControlMode="Display" ItemId="{$thisNode/@ID}" EnableViewState="true" FieldName="Attachments" runat="server" />
Let me know if you have any question.
Thanks & Regards,
Emir

How do I not display the preview pane in mail until I open it with a double click? Some mail I do not wish to open-just delete it. New macbook pro with LION OS

Just drag the divider line between the preview pane and the message list all the way to the edge so the preview is completely closed. Selected messages will open in a new window with a double-click or the return key.

How to print the report directly without previewing (report viewer) using c# windows application

Hi,
Currently, we are using crystal report to all of our reporting applications, but since I/users have encountered some issues about CR's speed to load only a simple report, maybe it is now time for us to adopt a new reporting environment in which I think SSRS
can fill this problem.
To start with, I have here a sample code, that uses the crystal report to print the report directly without previewing:
csCashInvoiceCal csCashCal; --Crystal report name .rpt
dsCsReceipt dsCs; --created dataset
DataTable u;
DataRow s;
private System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument printDocument1;
private System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog printDialog1;
ParameterValues paramValue;
ParameterDiscreteValue discreteValue;
ParameterFieldDefinition fieldDefinition;
private void btnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
loadReceipt2();
print2();
csCashCal.Close();
this.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
private void loadReceipt2()
dsCs = new dsCsReceipt(); --created dataset
u = dsCs.Tables.Add("DtCsReceipt");
u.Columns.Add("Qty", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("UOM", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("Description", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("UnitPrice", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("Discount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("Amount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
try
for (int i = 0; i < dgvDesc.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
s = u.NewRow(); double.TryParse(dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Discount2.Name].Value.ToString(), out discount);
s["Qty"] = double.Parse(dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Qty.Name].Value.ToString());
s["UOM"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Uom2.Name].Value.ToString();
s["Description"] = invcode + dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Description.Name].Value.ToString();
s["UnitPrice"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[UnitPrice.Name].Value.ToString();
if (discount != 0)
s["Discount"] = "(" + string.Format("{0:0.##}", discount) + "%)";
else
s["Discount"] = "";
s["Amount"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Amount2.Name].Value.ToString();
u.Rows.Add(s);
catch (Exception) { }
csCashCal = new csCashInvoiceCal();
csCashCal.SetDataSource(dsCs.Tables[1]);
//csCashCal.Refresh();
loadParameter2();
private void loadParameter2()
ParameterFieldDefinitions paramFieldDefinitions;
paramValue = new ParameterValues();
discreteValue = new ParameterDiscreteValue();
paramFieldDefinitions = csCashCal.DataDefinition.ParameterFields;
discreteValue.Value = date;
fieldDefinition = paramFieldDefinitions["Date"];
commonParam();
discreteValue.Value = txtcsno.Text;
fieldDefinition = paramFieldDefinitions["InvoiceNo"];
commonParam();
discreteValue.Value = txtNameTo.Text;
fieldDefinition = paramFieldDefinitions["CustomerName"];
commonParam();
discreteValue.Value = txtAdd.Text;
fieldDefinition = paramFieldDefinitions["CustomerAddress"];
commonParam();
------other parameters----
private void commonParam()
paramValue.Clear();
paramValue.Add(discreteValue);
fieldDefinition.ApplyCurrentValues(paramValue);
private void print2()
using (printDocument1 = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument())
using (this.printDialog1 = new PrintDialog())
//this.printDialog1.UseEXDialog = true;
this.printDialog1.Document = this.printDocument1;
DialogResult dr = this.printDialog1.ShowDialog();
if (dr == DialogResult.OK)
int nCopy = this.printDocument1.PrinterSettings.Copies;
int sPage = this.printDocument1.PrinterSettings.FromPage;
int ePage = this.printDocument1.PrinterSettings.ToPage;
string PrinterName = this.printDocument1.PrinterSettings.PrinterName;
try
csCashCal.PrintOptions.PrinterName = PrinterName;
csCashCal.PrintToPrinter(nCopy, false, sPage, ePage);
printcount++;
//saveCountPrint();
catch (Exception err)
MessageBox.Show(err.ToString());
This is only a simple sales receipt application that uses dgv and textboxes to push its data to dataset to the crystal report, a simple one but there are instances that it is very slow.
But I'm having trouble implementing this using SSRS, since I'm only new to this one, wherein I created the report using report wizard, with two button options inside the form for print preview or direct print selection. Actually, it is very easy to implement
with print preview because it uses reportviewer. My problem is that how can I print the report directly without using a reportviewer?
So here is my code so far which I don't know what's next:
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
loadReceipt3();
//print3();
this.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
ReportParameter[] parameter = new ReportParameter[11];
private void loadParameter3()
parameter[0] = new ReportParameter("InvoiceNo", txtcsno.Text);
parameter[1] = new ReportParameter("Date", date);
parameter[2] = new ReportParameter("CustomerTin", txtTin.Text);
parameter[3] = new ReportParameter("CustomerName", txtNameTo.Text);
parameter[4] = new ReportParameter("CustomerAddress", txtAdd.Text);
parameter[5] = new ReportParameter("Agent", agent);
parameter[6] = new ReportParameter("Discount", "Discount: ");
parameter[7] = new ReportParameter("TotalDiscount", lblDiscount.Text + "%");
parameter[8] = new ReportParameter("TotalSales", rdtotal);
parameter[9] = new ReportParameter("Tax", rdtax);
parameter[10] = new ReportParameter("TotalAmount", rdnet);
private void loadReceipt3()
DataSet dsrs = new DataSet();
DataTable dtrs = new DataTable();
DataRow drs;
dtrs.Columns.Add("Qty", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("UOM", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("Description", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("UnitPrice", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("Discount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("Amount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
try
for (int i = 0; i < dgvDesc.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
drs = dtrs.NewRow();
drs["Qty"] = double.Parse(dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Qty.Name].Value.ToString());
drs["UOM"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Uom2.Name].Value.ToString();
drs["Description"] = invcode + dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Description.Name].Value.ToString();
drs["UnitPrice"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[UnitPrice.Name].Value.ToString();
if (discount != 0)
drs["Discount"] = "(" + string.Format("{0:0.##}", discount) + "%)";
else
drs["Discount"] = "";
drs["Amount"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Amount2.Name].Value.ToString();
dtrs.Rows.Add(s);
catch (Exception) { }
int addtlRow = 7;
if (addtlRow > (count - 1))
addtlRow = addtlRow - (count - 1);
for (int i = 0; i < addtlRow; i++)
dtrs.Rows.Add();
loadParameter3();
LocalReport localreport = new LocalReport();
localreport.SetParameters(parameter);
localreport.DataSources.Clear();
localreport.DataSources.Add(new ReportDataSource("dsSalesReceiptSsrs", dtrs));
localreport.Refresh();
//what's next....
So what's next after local..refresh()? Actually, I have googled a lot but I didn't found the exact solution that I'm looking for which confuses me a lot.
Anyway I'm using VS 2010 with sql server 2012 express.
You're help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Hardz

After some further studies with ReportViewer controls and with the use of this tutorial @ : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252091.aspx, which helps me a lot on how to print a report without using a report viewer, I found out what is missing
with my code above and helps solve my question.
Here's the continuation of the code above:

if (dr == DialogResult.OK)
if (!printDoc.PrinterSettings.IsValid)
throw new Exception("Error: cannot find the default printer.");
else
printDoc.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(PrintPage);
m_currentPageIndex = 0;
printDoc.Print();
Dispose();
public void Dispose()
if (m_streams != null)
foreach (Stream stream in m_streams)
stream.Close();
m_streams = null;
private Stream CreateStream(string name, string fileNameExtension, Encoding encoding, string mimeType, bool willSeek)
Stream stream = new FileStream(name + "." + fileNameExtension,

m_streams.Add(stream);
return stream;
private void PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs ev)
Metafile pageImage = new
Metafile(m_streams[m_currentPageIndex]);
// Adjust rectangular area with printer margins.
Rectangle adjustedRect = new Rectangle(
ev.PageBounds.Left - (int)ev.PageSettings.HardMarginX,
ev.PageBounds.Top - (int)ev.PageSettings.HardMarginY,

Thank you very much for this wonderful tutorial. :)

How do I turn off the preview pane in Mail

I am trying to turn off the preview pane in Mail - ultimate goal is to stop have mail mark a message as read just because I scrolled over it. I don't want a message marked as read unless I actually open the mail item.
fond this thread continually in earlier discussions from 2009-2011 - but othing more recent. Surely this has been fixed by now.
Thanks

Drag the divider between the message list and the preview pane all the way to the right. It will pause about a 3/4 of the way, but keep dragging and it will go all the way over.

Split-Screen (Preview Pane) View in Mail

Within Mr. Jobs keynote video back in January, he demoed a split screen view in Mail while viewing your inbox. This view shows a preview pane beneath the message. Yet I found no where in the settings to achieve this.
Am I missing something?

Nope, you are not missing anything. Its not there (yet).

How to access sort direction and filter value of columns? Can I catch the 'filtered' or 'sorted' event?

We have some columns being added to a table. We have set the sortProperty and the filterProperty on each of our columns.
This allows us to both filter and sort.
We want to be able to access the columns filter value and sort value after the fact. Can we access the table and then the columns and then a columns properties to find these two items? How can I access the sort direction and filter value of columns?
We would also like to store the filter value and the sort direction, and re-apply them to the grid if they have been set in the past. How can we dynamically set the filter value and sort direction of a column?
Can I catch or view the 'filtered' or 'sorted' event? We would like to look at the event that occurs when someone sorts or filters a column. Where can I see this event or where can i tie into it, without overwriting the base function?

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share how I implemented this:
Attach a sort event handler to table - statusReportTable.attachSort(SortEventHandler);
In this event handler, grab the sort order and sorted column name then set cookies with this info
function SortEventHandler(eventData)
 var sortOrder = eventData.mParameters.sortOrder;
 var columnName = eventData.mParameters.column.mProperties.sortProperty;
 SetCookie(sortDirectionCookieName, sortOrder, tenYears);
 SetCookie(sortedColumnCookieName, columnName, tenYears);
Added sortProperty and filterProperty to each column definition:
sortProperty: "ColName", filterProperty: "ColName",
When i fill the grid with data, i check my cookies to see if a value exists, and if so we apply this sort:
function FindAndSortColumnByName(columnName, sortDirection (true or false))
 var columns = sap.ui.getCore().byId('statusReportTable').getColumns();
 var columnCount = columns.length;
 for(var i = 0; i < columnCount; i ++)
 if(columns[i].mProperties.sortProperty == columnName)
 columns[i].sort(sortDirection);

How to access data from node of other view into node of diff view?

Hi all,
 My requirement is that I have account defined in 'CLEAR_HEAD' component , view is 'CLEAR_HEAD/ClearAccountsEF'
context node is 'TARGETVALUE' and attribute is 'ACCOUNT1'. I need to access this account information in the same component but in another view 'CLEAR_HEAD/ClearAddressEL' and the context node is 'DEPLIST' and attribute is 'RADIO1'. I have one custom controller 'CLEAR_HEAD/CuCoHead' already defined in this component. I checked the above 'TARGETVALUE' node but it is not bind to any Custom controller. And I also checked the above pre-defined custom controller 'CLEAR_HEAD/CuCoHead' and the context node in this Custom controller is different from those of the above context nodes and the only one context node defined in this custom controller 'CLEAR_HEAD/CuCoHead' is 'LISTNODE'.
My quesitons are
1. How to bind the above context node(TARGETVALUE) to the custom controller. Can I bind it to the above existing custom controller 'CLEAR_HEAD/CuCoHead' , if so then how can I do since the above custom controller doesn't contain this context node(TARGETVALUE) and it contains only the context node 'LISTNODE'. If I can use the above existing Custom Controller then can I directly do binding by right clicking the context node(TARGETVALUE) -> Create binding. Then what should be the value in Target Contex Node?
2. Do I need to create another custom controller If so then can I directly follow the steps defined in this link '/people/vikash.krishna/blog/2009/12/28/crm-70-how-to--5d-custom-controller-and-binding-of-context-nodes' ? If so then what should be the Model node and Bol Entity name?
I appreciate your help..
Thanks,
Chinnu.

HI Chinnu, 
 
Approach 1: 
Bind the context node view1 TARGETVALUE with Component controller. 
and in View2 
data lr_comp_controller type ref to X----component controller 
lr_entity TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_entity. 
lr_comp_controller ?= me->comp_controller. 
 
lr_entity ?= lr_comp_controller->typed_context->Y->collection_wrapper->get_current( ). Y---CONTExt node in view1. 
 
Approach 2: 
Declare a static attribute in the View controller of first view. 
Read the attribute D1 value from DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT of first View and pass it to the Static sttribute. 
In your 2nd view u can read this Static Atribute and use it. 
Static Attribute u need to call as follows . Z********IMPL(Implemantation Class)=>ATTR1 
 
Approach 3: 
Creae a custom controller with the same context node used in view 1. 
Bound the custom controller context node to view 1 context node. 
 
Now in view 2, get the custome controller and read data from it. 

 
View1 context node: BTADMINH 

Custom controller: BT115QH_SLSQ/AdminH context node: BTADMINH_CUCO 

In view 1 context class (CTXT class), go to CREATE_BTADMINH method and append the below code to bind both the context nodes, 
<pre class="jive-pre"><code class="jive-code jive-java">* bind to custom controller
 owner->do_context_node_binding(
 iv_controller_type = CL_BSP_WD_CONTROLLER=>CO_TYPE_CUSTOM
 iv_name =
 'BT115QH_SLSQ/AdminH' "#EC NOTEXT
 iv_target_node_name = 'BTADMINH_CUCO'
 iv_node_2_bind = BTADMINH ).
Now in view 2 get the custom controller using the below code,
Data: lr_cuco type ref to <custom controller class>.
lr_cuco ?= me->get_custom_controller( controller_id = 'BT115QH_SLSQ/AdminH' ).
lr_entity = lr_cuco->typed_context->BTADMINHCUCO->collection_wrapper->get_current( ).
</code></pre> 

If you are just reading a attribute value from view1, then approach 2 shud b easy one. 
Approach 1 & 3, more or less the same, except we are using component controller vs custom controller. These approaches holds good when the data required to be accessed/updated from either views. 
 
Coming to your specific scenario, I think there is already a context node available in the compoenent controller TARGETBP, which can have the required data for you. Please look into that. 
 
Cheers, Satish

How to Access/Launch Payer Direct

Can anyone tell me how to launch the Payer Direct content of Biller Direct?
(I am not talking about using the Business Package - It is no longer available.)
What is the URL?
For Biller Direct it is "http://server:port/bd".
I have not seen anything speaking to how to access Payer Direct.
I have seen screenshots that show the url as "http://server:port/bdpd/public/frameset_top_html.jsp...".
But I have now done two installs, and I do not see a "bdpd" directory - just the "bd" directory.
Thank you

Hi Jim
Thanks for this, kinda. Appreciate your offering a workaround but when you have an edit that you want to colour correct mid process (just to match cameras up before applying adjustment layer for entire grade) rather than being at the end of the process then this is just won't work.
I think the Direct Link feature is awesome and works so well for moving back and forth between the two applications. Way better than say exporting EDLs or XMLs and going to DaVinci Resolve. Love that you can continue editing or tweaking the project after coming back which is harder to do coming back from the other applications. That said, and as you say, it seems like it needs another round of updates to make it a truly useable application using this approach.
I will use the link below and give my feedback and requests for future versions.
Thank you.

Why is the Filename in the Preview Pane blurry/fuzzy?

Can anyone tell me why this happens? And how do you fix it?

Preview pane problems are frequently video card/driver problems. Make sure drivers are up to date.
If you purge cache in tools/cache/purge cache for xxx folder does that change anything?

Access attachments in E-recruiting...

Hi,
Can somebody help me how to access attachments in E-recruiting.. I have uploaded a file for job description.. How can access that one in the program... And i can find that attachment header in attachments infotype 5134....
Thanks in advance...

The erec standard is: The Text in the Job Posting that you enter in the 5 boxes in 'Descriptions' tab gets published.
If you need to make the Text from an attachment in the Requisition (say, 'Job Description.doc' ) appear in the Job Posting "Descriptions' tab, then its a SMARTFORMS Enhancement.
We recently implemented this- to default the text, from a formatted xml doc (which we attach in the 'attachment' tab), to a single box in Job Postings (Description tab). the SMARTFORMS takes over from here & adds it to the publication text

Left column is a preview pane

I want create a view with the Preview Style for a list created from an excel import.
From what I can tell, the left column must be a (linked to) column.
The first column is Date, which is the item I want to appear in the left column.
When the list is created, it selects the first text column to be the (link to with Edit)
I could creat a list manually, then copy in the data from the spreadsheet,
But I still need to know how to make the data appear in the left column.

Hi Dale,
By default, the Title(linked to item with edit menu) column is used as the left column in the view which is in Preview Pane style.
If we create a list by importing the spreadsheet, then the first column will be set as the Title(linked to item with edit menu) column and display in the left in Preview Pane view.
What did you mean by “how to make the data appear in the left column”?
If you want to display the data in left column, then you can put that column as the first one in spreadsheet and then import it to SharePoint.
Or you can change the formula of the left column to display other column values in the left column.
Please refer to the link below for detailed steps:

Reading Panes views on Shared Mailbox changes automatically issue

Can someone please advise if this is a known bug or if it's just because it is the way the software is configured?
Our email account are hosted by Microsoft on Office365.
Email accounts are added as an account on Outlook2010.
When accessing shared mailboxes, the reading pane view settings changes automatically from time to time from "Date to Category".
I noticed that others have raised a query on this previously but never got a properly answer.
NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT SUGGEST TURNING OFF READING PANE AS THAT IS A STUPID IDEA FOR THOSE WHO SUGGESTS IT. We all know you can turn it off as an option but if people wants to use it, you don't just tell them not to use it as a workaround.
You wouldn't tell someone to go catch a bus if their car is broken temporary. You fix the car so that you can use it later.
Thank you.

Documents saved in firefox format cannot be viewed in the preview pane. Why? Also, I don't want my documents changed to another format. How do I change back?

Documents in Firefox format do not open automatically in the preview pane. Why? Also, I don't want my documents changed from the original format. How do I change them back and how do I keep this from happening again. I don't want to have to select a different format every time I try to open a document. That is a pain in the neck. I want to "click to open" and the document be in it's original format. If necessary I will go back to one of the other browsers I have used in the past. As I don't want multiple browsers on my computer it would be necessary to uninstall Firefox. I like it so far other than you all hijacking my documents and altering the way they open. You also might want to remember that even the "legitimate" folks on the internet are seen as predatory, i.e., gathering information, tricking us into installing crap we don't want or need, and in some cases, requiring a specific program to open a specific document. I'd be working very hard to show you are trustworthy. If you have a solution to this and it is complex then you will be wasting your time and my time trying to explain it. You guys created this so, if I'm going to use Firefox, you fix it on your end. FYI, if I have to uninstall Firefox I will, when asked, strongly recommend against using your service. Thank you.

Do you mean PDF documents?
The installer was supposed to add Firefox as an ADDITIONAL viewer for PDFs, not as the DEFAULT viewer. Sorry you were affected by this glitch and hopefully they will figure out why some systems get changed this way.
You can try this fix suggested by a user in another thread:
# Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat*
# Edit->Preferences
# In the Categories column click 'General'
# Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
# In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
# A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
Does that work for you?
