How to detect that Illustrator.Application is fully loaded (VB)

Does anyone have a trick that they use to determine that the app is fully loaded? Is there a method available that I might be missing? I manage most of the time but I'd like to get this problem trapped. Looking for a method available in the Illustrator Scripting API preferably. Within VB Try/Catch isn't working in this instance...
Thank you!   -TT

So after a bit more investigation and understanding (and some sleep), I came up with some VB code to resolve my dilemma. Here's the code:
Truth be told, my biggest problem was self-inflicted, as I somehow had the VS UI set to throw exceptions even on handled exceptions, leaving pretty much no one to blame but myself. :-(

  • How to detect that ADF page has completely loaded with OpenScript

    In Selenium tests I use AdfPage.isSynchronizedWithServer to detect whether an ADF page has completely loaded. I attempted to do the same with OpenScript by doing something like:
    boolean loading = true;
    while (loading) {
    String[] result = web.document("/web:window[@title='*']/web:document[@index='0']").executeJsFunction("AdfPage.PAGE.isSynchronizedWithServer()", null);
    if (null != result && result.length > 0 && "true".equalsIgnoreCase(result[0])) {
    loading = false;
    } else {
    think(5.0);
    unfortunately this fails with
    ERROR [1] Error in section Run at line unknown. An unexpected exception occurred in the script. Script section: Run. Caused by: Exception occured.
    java.lang.Exception:
        at oracle.oats.scripting.modules.webdom.api.elements.DOMDocument.executeJsFunction(DOMDocument.java:1043)
    Anyone know how to call ADF JS from OpenScript or alternatively what is the recommended way to make sure that the ADF page has loaded completely ?

  • How indesign detects that the images have been modified

    Hello,
    My problem is that all my images links are seen modified (yellow triangle) while the images don't have been modified.
    The modified dates are the same.
    All my images are on a unix server and indesign is used on Mac.
    How indesign detects that the images have been modified ?

    Thank you for your answer.
    When you say the time stamp you talk about the modification date in the box link info ?
    Because this date is the same on the image and in indesign and when I update the image this date doesn't change.
    the only informations that change when I update the links are the import date and the state (modified become ok)

  • How can detect that cdrom drive were opened and closed?

    How can detect that cdrom drive were opened and closed?

    I'm sure there are more elegant and complicated ways to accomplish this using Windows SDK function calls to kernel32.dll or something extravagant like that, but if you want the bare-bones easy way to check if the CD-ROM tray is currently opened, then simply use System Exec to query the CD-ROM drive from the command line. One example of this is shown below.
    Use the command line function cmd /c d:, where d: is your CD-ROM drive. If the Standard Error output from System Exec.vi is "The device is not ready." followed by a carraige return and line feed, then voila, your CD-ROM drive is open. If not, it's closed. Anyone have a better idea? I'm sure one exists...

  • How to detect an external application close event?

    Hello,
    I have an executable running at startup (scheduled task) and always
    staying alive on my server. When the server is rebooted, I would like
    to take some actions (write in a event log, etc) before my application
    is closed by windows.
    So how can I detect that Windows is closing and that it's time to do the associate actions before the closing.
    I've tried the 'Application close event' in an event loop but doesn't seems to work.
    I'm using labview 8.2 on Windows server 2003.
    Thanks in advance!!
    Vincent

    I tied this and it did capture the application close event.  What I did was while running LabVIEW in developer mode I used Windows Task Manager to kill the process.  It did throw an Application Close event.  I don't have time to try other cases like shutdown or what happens if it is an EXE but hope this helps.

  • How to detect that we are on the current page while we r reading epub3?

    Hi Chen,
    I am not sure if you want to go to the stage when the storage-enabled node = 0 as this would force the data loss. My suggestion would be to check if the storage-enabled node in the Grid counts less than 5 or so.
    Re the ways, you can always start the reporter by using the system property -Dtangosol.coherence.management.report.autostart=true and you can always set the frequency to run the report. This report will keep all the JMX related data since the reporting is started. You can also run a background process that reads the Mbean and checks for the storage-enabled nodes. There are ways to do it using the shell script by polling the active PIDs on Storage enabled nodes.
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • How to detect wether report was already totally loaded into CrystalReportViewer

    Post Author: maxvor
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    I have a CrystalReportViewer component into wich i load my report. The report is big so it takes some time to load it. After loaidng i want to change statusbar text. How can I detect that report is already loaded? Can anyone help?

    I might suggest reviewing Sun's Java tutorials.... there are some good ones for J2EE (servlet) technology, if you are at all confused about how to create a servlet or how they work.
    The servlet will contain all of the viewer code you currently have in your JSP.  You can either put it in the doGet method, or you can put it in a separate method and call it from doGet.
    This ensures that the output stream and response writer are not opened or called any more than neccessary, and if they are you can control how they are used..... this being because in a servlet, you need to specify each time you want those objects to be used, whereas in a JSP page that is controlled by the application server.

  • How to detect if specific applications in an office suite are installed?

    Here is the scenario.  I have deployed made a version of Office 2013 available to a group of users in my enterprise.  That customized version has an MSP that had several applications disabled like Outlook and Access for example.  I now want
    to roll out office everwhere with Outlook enabled.  I know that I can, and will, use a new MSP for the existing installations to enable Outlook and I know that I will have a new MSP for machines that do not have any version of Office 2013 installed. 
    How do I, programatically, detect on a machine which apps/components of Office are installed?
    I am using SCCM 2012 to deploy and for my detection method cannot simply use the MSI product code of Office since the machines that already have office installed (without outlook) will pass the detection method and thus never run.  I really do not want
    to do something kludgy like look for outlook.exe or something.  I prefer to really detect if the component is there.  Would I look for the installed features of the MSI?  If so which features...there are several of Outlook that I see? 
    Do I look for all of them?

    Hi,
    Only a single instance of Outlook can be installed on the machine. To determine if Outlook is installed, you might need to check below registry key, and that should be sufficient to check for the existence:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\OUTLOOK.EXE
    Or you can try below function:
    Type officeType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Outlook.Application");
    if (officeType == null)
        // Outlook is not installed.  
    else
        // Outlook is installed.   
    (Quoted from

    Note: Since the website is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.
    Also, detect if Outlook is installed programatically is not supported in this forum. Since you are using SCCM 2012, I would suggest you to post your questions in the forum for System Center. There are lots of similar discussions there:

  • How to detect when a tile fails to load

    We currently use SSRS to generate maps w/ custom layers and data.  The requests made by SSRS to the Bing Map system occasionally fail when creating PDF versions of the reports under heavy load.  I am looking for a way to work around SSRS's limitation
    when using Bing Maps.
    One approach I am exploring is to create a system that generates my own map images using the Bing Maps Api directly rather than being dependent upon SSRS.  However, i can imaging that at some point a request to Bing Maps will result in a failure.  Either
    the system was unavailable or the request for the map tile timed out.  
    I would like to be able to detect when a tile failed to be received.

    Hello,
    I have a E71 and for a week or so the phone drains the battery quite fast.
    I have seen in the journal that an wi-fi connection is opening every 2-3 minuntes for less the half a minute.
    The weird thing is that the WLAN is disconected and WLAN SCAN is OFF, but the icon that shows a wi-fi connection appaers every 2-3 minutes.
    So how to detect the damn application that makes wi-fi conections by my back?
    Thanks!
