How to create iCal events from other applications?

I want to create event linked with a certain document, e.g. when I've finishes a letter in Pages or in TeXShop, I want to create an event in iCal for reminder. I know, that I can in iCal create events and add the link to the file into the URL field of an event. But I want in Pages, TeXShop, Numbers, … to click: »Create reminder in iCal on <date>.«
Is there a way for it?

You can use Firewire Target Disk mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661 to transfer the appropriate iCal files.

Problem creating iCal Events from Mail in Leopard

The new function that allows the user to create iCal events from Mail messages is quite impressive and very useful. Unfortunately the data detectors seem to have trouble with certain commonplace date formats. While the detector recognises the date, it cannot activate an event in iCal. For instance the data detector will pick up the dates in these formats and create iCal events:
30 October 2007
30 Oct 07
30/10/07
but not in this format:
30-Oct-07
In the latter case, the data detector recognises it is a date, produces the drop menu, but will not carry through and create an event to iCal. It's annoying in that many companies use the latter format in their communications. Any workaround?

There is another problem I have found.
I have my computer set in international settings formats to show the date in the "English format"
January 4th 2007 is 4/1, however an entry in mail 4/1 is put into iCal on the first of April!
I found this out after looking for a meeting I knew I had put in for next week.
beware, can this bug be fixed?

Create iCal events from anywhere? not working in 10.5.4

There is a wonderful automator workflow that really helps creating new events on the fly.....
Well it doesn't work any more in 10.5
below is the tip from macworld.
http://www.macworld.com/article/132889/2008/04/autoicalevents.html
Strangely, the workflow runs fine when used inside Automator; it just fails when run as an application.
Anybody else having this issue?
Anybody else have a fix?

So it appears that this is a know issue with Apple Support.

How to post audit event from my application ?

Hi All,
I'm newbie in weblogic(server) field. I'm working on audit trail for my application. We are using weblogic server8.1 SP4.
I read thru the documentation in weblogic site and understood the default and custom auditing providers/auditing events and how to configure them from the admin console.
I would like to know how to programatically invoke/trigger/post that audit from wherever I want from the application.
Hope I'm clear.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Viji

If you find out.... I'm curious too.

How to create an ImageIcon from other ImageIcon's part?

I have an ImageIcon instance and want to create an other one from the specified part of the initial icon.
How can this be done??
Thanks. Boris.

If I were you, I would create a BufferedImage and paint the ImageIcon into it. You have the choice of either :
- in the paint method itself, modify the clip bounds so as to make it only paint the desired region
- or paint the image completely and then use BufferedImage's getSubimage method
Either way, you'll get a BufferedImage that you can use to create your target ImageIcon

How to read iCal events from SQLite Cache file?

I need to figure out how to read event entries in the Cache file stored in /Library/Calenders/ as my actual events have been corrupted due to a file system problem. The example below shows the information I have for each entry, where the event in the entry was Bon Jovi Concert, however I am confused how I can read the date and time of the event, information I believe is stored as 218215639,219613081,219524400,219540600. Any help is greatly appreciated.
INSERT INTO "ZCALENDARITEM" VALUES(0,NULL,0,NULL,0,5,NULL,6,4039,NULL,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,23,0,0,0,0,6,0,21821563 9,219613081,219524400,219540600,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,'local_AFB8D342-2DAE-4F A1-A9A6-3FA9B28B5C7C','Bon Jovi Concert',NULL,NULL,NULL,'Europe/London',NULL,'0E17BBB6-0E76-4024-8DD7-60E43D38D 35B');

OK, here we go ... I hope. I have tried it on my iCal, with about 2000 entries, and it worked. I cannot guarantee that it will work for you.
Make a new text file from sql as before, but using this modified command to get additional data for each event:
sqlite3 Desktop/Hope 'select ZSTARTDATE, ZCALENDARITEM.ZTITLE, ZENDDATE, ZNODE.ZTITLE, ZISALLDAY, ZRECURRENCERULE, ZISDETACHED from ZCALENDARITEM inner join ZNODE on ZCALENDARITEM.ZCALENDAR = ZNODE.Z_PK where ZSTARTDATE not null' >hope.txt
I suggest you make a new user account, then copy the text file hope.txt and the script to the Public/Drop Box folder for that account. Log on to the new account and copy the two files from the drop box to the Desktop. Start iCal and make new calendars to match those in your ordinary account. Double click the script to open it in Script Editor and CHANGE THE DATE RANGE in the "set ThePeriod" line. Stand well back and click the run button. Every 50 records processed it will pop up a progress box, which will pop down again after a second. Go for lunch.
When it is finished see if things look OK in iCal. If they do export each of the calendars, copy them to the drop box of your normal account and return to your normal account to import them.
If there is an error make a note of the error message and line number, find that line in the text file, and post it here with a couple of lines either side.
Note that for recurring items iCal normally only makes a single event, the first occurrence, then uses a recurrence rule to calculate if the event should be displayed in the current window. If there are any recurring events in the period you have selected where the first occurrence is before the period they will not be recreated. Where however you have changed a single occurrence of a recurring event iCal makes a new, detached, event. Any of these in the period will be detected. If their original event was also in the period they will now appear in the iCal display as duplicates. For easy spotting of these, I have prefixed "XX-" to the title of any detached events.

How to create an event in web application?

Hi,
I am creating online auction application. I need to have an event trigerred when an auction on an item is finished. How can I do that?
Thank you

You could use the Observer design pattern...You'll find plenty of litterature on the subject.
You'd also want to take a look at how they implement the feature you're looking for in existing auction applications, like Sun's :
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/JDCBook/code.html
Sourceforge's Gavel, which is open source, so you can browse the CVS repository to look for source code :

How to dispatch an event from the application to the preloader

HI everyone
                 I've been searching everywhere on the net, and as far as it goes I gotten no answer for this. When the application hit the preinitialize phase, I'm calling the loadStyle method. As you can see I will hold the CreationComplete event until I the swf is ready. What I want to do, is to have a second loading bar in the preloader (no problem here) to show the progress of the swf downloaded, hence the StyleEvent.PROGRESS event. I would like to know how can I dispatch that event to the preloader?
///////////////////APPLICATION
              import mx.events.StyleEvent;
            import mx.styles.StyleManager;
            private function loadStyle():void
                    var eventDispatcher:IEventDispatcher = StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations("cl/elmelej/mangiare/estilo/estilo.swf");
                    eventDispatcher.addEventListener(StyleEvent.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
                    eventDispatcher.addEventListener(StyleEvent.PROGRESS,progreso);
            private function completeHandler(event:StyleEvent):void
                    super.initialized = true;
            private function progreso(event:StyleEvent):void
            override public function set initialized(value:Boolean):void
                // Hold off until the Runtime CSS SWF is done loading.
///////////////////////////////////PRELOADER
virtual public function set preloader(value:Sprite):void
            _preloader = value;
            value.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
            value.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
            value.addEventListener(StyleEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandlerCSS);
            value.addEventListener(FlexEvent.INIT_PROGRESS, initProgressHandler);
            value.addEventListener(FlexEvent.INIT_COMPLETE, initCompleteHandler);
As you can see, the preloader is listening to StyleEvent.PROGRESS events, but I cant dispatch that event to the preloader so that it can react to it. I hope you can help me. Thanks for your time and help
Sebastián

Alex,
         Thank you very much for the fast answer, but I'm not an advanced programmer in Flex, so I would need a bit more help from you. I wouldlike you to tell me if it is possible to do what I want to do? and could you be more specific n the information you gave me please?
I think you mean something like this:
private function progreso(event:StyleEvent):void
              (this.systemManager.getChildAt(systemManager.numChildren) as Preloader).getChildAt(XXXXXXXX).dispatchEvent(event)
/////////////////////// (this.systemManager.getChildAt(systemManager.numChildren) as Preloader)) -------->gets the preloader
///////////////////////(this.systemManager.getChildAt(systemManager.numChildren) as Preloader).getChildAt(XXXXXXXX)     -------------> would get the progressbar (only If I have XXXXXvalue)
let me tell you that the method that I posted on the last message was a part of this class:
     public class PreloaderDisplayBase extends Sprite implements IPreloaderDisplay
PreloaderDisplayBase is my Preloader.
I hope you can help me.
Thanks Again

Create package with prompt from other application

Hi Experts!
I need to create a package in the planning application. In the screen selection I need some dimensions of my planning cube and one dimension of the Ownership application. I don't have any problem with the current application dimension, but I need to retrieve the members of INTCO dimension from Ownership because the user should make the selection. Is it possible to create a prompt from other application?
Thanks!!

I create the package in Planning application:
PROMPT
(SELECTINPUT,,,"Selction members","%ENTITY_DIM%,%CATEGORY_DIM%,%TIME_DIM%,%CURRENCY_DIM%,INTCO")
When i try to select one member of INTCO dimension it appear the following message: "Dimension INTCO is not found". BPC is not finding this dimension because it pertain to another application.

Hello,
is there a way to get events from other applications, either native or java applications?
For example application 1 (Java or not) is getting minimized, is there a way to notice application 2 (Java) about that?

I am not really a Windows programmer so I cannot say how you can get the event notification in C(++) but if you can get it there then there should be no particular problem communicating that information to Java.
This might take the form of creating a thread (all threads are native threads on Windows) which blocks on receiving this event and then notifies the rest of the application somehow, maybe by setting a global flag, using Object.notify() to wake up some other thread to do the processing, or simply by calling a Java method to do all the necessary handling before returning. But there is nothing special about this part.
It all depends on how you can receive the event notification in C++.

Create DLL from labview and calling it from other application

I have an application built using Labview. I wanted to create DLL out of it. The application has
two String inputs start and stop buttons and two status indicators.
1. How to itegrate start and stop buttons from function prototype?
2. Does Labview created DLLs requires labview runtime engine when it is to be called from other application?
Can some one help on this.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Yuvish,
1) They should be boolean inputs to your VI. But does it makes sense to provide a stop button input at the start of your VI? (THINK DATAFLOW!)
2) Yes, the LV-RTE is needed...

How to make data flow from one application to other in BPEL.

Hi All,
I am designing work-flow of my application through BPEL(JDeveloper), I am making different BPEL projects for different functions, like sales manager got the order from sales person and sales manager either approve it or reject it, if he approve it it goes to Production manager and he ships the goods, now I want to keep sales person, sales manger,production manager in seperate BPEL files and want to get the output of sales person to sales manager and sales manager to production manager please help me in dong this.
I was trying to make partner link in Sales manager of sales person and getting the input from there. I dont know this is right even or not, if it is right I dont know how to make data flow from one application to other.
Experience people please guide.
Sales Person -----> Sales Manager ----> Production Manager
Thanks
Yatan

Yes you can do this.
If you each integration point to be in different process, you have to create three BPEL process.
1. Create a Async BPEL process 'A' which will be initiated when sales person creates the order.
2. From BPEL process 'A' call a ASync BPEL process 'B' which has the approval flow. Depending on the input from process 'A' the sales manager will review the order in workflow and approve or reject and send the result back to process 'A'.
3. Based on the result from workflow, invoke the Sync BPEL process 'C', where you can implement the shipping logic.
