How to disable an "open for editing" option in word/excel viewers

Hi All. It's my first post on here so please be gentle! ;-)
We have a situation on an RDS server whereby the majority of the users simply need Excel Viewer to review reports generated from an application, with only a very small number of users that actually need to amend and save these reports within Excel 2013 i.e.
a version of Excel that we need a license for.
There is an option within Excel Viewer that says "Open for editing" and unfortunately, because we also have Excel installed on the server this allows them to launch the Excel 2013 application i.e. full-blown Excel.
Is there a way that I can disable this menu item, or can anyone suggest a way that I can stop users from launching Excel 2013? I suspect that I can use AppLocker to prevent them calling on the excel.exe, but I was rather hoping that there was a more
elegant way i.e. to simply disable the menu item in Excel Viewer.
Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It may be difficult for us to disable the "Open for Editing" option in Excel Viewer.
If you want to allow only view access to certain files, you should consider controlling access to the file location with network security. Grant the "view only" users with Read-only permission to access the document file location.

I don't think there is a way for Edge Code. I'm not sure about Reflow.
Why don't you just upgrade? That will stop the notifications.

How to disable navigator buttons for editable rowset

Hi All!
Is it possible easily to disable delete button for editable rowset?

Hello Francois,
Thank you for your fast reply!
I tried your recommendation, but got the following result:
When I have a label of "& OK" with the blank symbol as ALT-255, the Button in the Alert Box still has the focus. It seems as if there now is a blank in front of the OK (which is underlined). This does not really solve my issue, because the Button still has the focus and that should not be. The best solution for the user would be if he only could accept the message with a mouse klick.
Is there an other suggestion?
Thank you so much!

You can disable or remove that button, but that won't prevent users from making the changes on the about:config page directly. 
You can lock the related network.proxy prefs if you do not want users to change the connection settings.

How to disable automatic opening of previously viewed items in Preview or TextEdit in Max OSX Lion?

How to disable automatic opening of previously viewed items in Preview or TextEdit in Max OSX Lion? It was no such issue on Snow Leopard OS.
Please help

This is a new behavior introduced in Lion. You can disable it completely via System Preferences, General: uncheck the "Restore windows..." box toward the bottom.
You can disable this behavior on a case by case basis by either closing all windows before quitting, or holding the option key while quitting, or holding the shift key while launching from dock.

How do I send my pages attachment so that it will open for those with Microsoft word?

How do I send my pages attachment so that it will open for those with Microsoft Word?

Hi Victoria,
Pages does not run on Windows.
Word cannot open a Pages file.
If you want someone without pages to be able to open your attachment, you will have to send it in a format openable on the recipient's computer.
If the recipient needs only to read the document, the most universal format is pdf. To send a pdf copy of your file, press command-P to open the Print dialogue, then click the PDF button and choose email PDF. This will open a new message in your default email client and attach the pdf file to that message.
If the recipient needs to be able to edit/change your document, and has MS Word, then either Save a copy as a Word file or go File > Export and choose Word as the file format for the export.
Be aware that MS Word does not support all features of Pages (and vice versa), and that formatting of the document may be affected by font substitution if you use fonts that are not available on the recipient's machine.
Regards,
Barry

Adobe now hides the editor - what looks like it is not - you want the editor hidden in the support folder - see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3955558#3955558 for details

How to programatically select text for editing in an af:inputText control?

Hello, I am new to jdeveloper 11.1.1.3.0 and have searched and searched for info. I must be using the wrong terms as I cannot find any info or example on how to programatically select text for editing in an inputText field.
My request is to change an existing app so when the user presses a button, control should go to the inputText control (this part works, see existing backing bean code from another developer below) but automatically select the text within for editing by the user (saving the user from having to select the text first before editing).
Backing bean code to set the focus to an inputText field:
* sets the cursor to the given component id
* @param componentId of item on page
public void setFocusOnUIComponent(String componentId) {
    FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    ExtendedRenderKitService service =
      Service.getRenderKitService(facesContext, ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
    UIComponent uiComponent = facesContext.getViewRoot().findComponent(componentId);
    service.addScript(facesContext,
      "Component = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId('" + componentId + "'); Component.focus();");
} I hope this isn't a dumb question and would appreciate it if someone can steer me in the right direction.
Thank you for any info,
Gary

Hi,
not a dumb question at all. Before answering it, here some comments on the code you pasted in your question
1. UIComponent uiComponent = facesContext.getViewRoot().findComponent(componentId);
This code line is not used at all in your method. So it seems you can get rid of it
2. "Component = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId('" + componentId + "'); Component.focus();");
I suggest to change it to
"var component = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId('" + componentId + "'); component.focus();");
as it is better coding practice to have variable names starting with a lower case letter and being flagged with the "var" identifier
For pre-selecting text in an an input component, there is no API available in ADF Faces, which means you need to reach out to the rendered HTML ouput. To access the markup for the rendered component, you can try
var markup = AdfRichUIPeer.getDomContentElementForComponent(component)
If this markup returns the HTML input component then you can use JavaScript you find on the Internet to select the area of it. If it does not return the input component then you may have to use
document.getElementById(componentId+'::content')
Note however that working directly with generated HTML output bears the risk that your code breaks when - for whatever reason - the ADF Faces component rendering changes in the future

How to disable Setting button in Tools - Options - Advanced - Network from windows registry?

Dear support,
Now, my office use Firefox as default browser to access WebServer. And there are some policy that users must use ProxyServer. I do not want user change proxy setting in Firefox. How to disable Setting button in Tools - Options - Advanced - Network from windows registry?
Thank you.
Treky

You can not use the Windows registry to disable items in Firefox. This link shows how to lock down Firefox proxy settings, change the values to suit your needs:
http://www.stbernard.com/ip5kb/iPrism/WhatsNew/50SupportFiles/SupportFiles/IP0460.htm
One minor variation, in step 4 instead of adding that line to all-js, you can create a file called ''local-settings.js'' containing the line shown and save the file in the same folder as all.js

How to disable memory cache for SL410?

Hi,
My lenovo thinkpad SL410 has Windows 7 prof edition as its OS. But in the last few months it frequently crashes. Many times when I use Chrome browser status would indicate AppCache, and that's an evil OMEN for its usually the prelude of crash. Other browser may or may not have such issue, however, Chrome is really my preferred web browser.
Some research seems to suggest disabling memory cache via BIO setup would resolve it. And here's my lenovo's BIO info:
Version: 1.23
Date: 2009-10-19
but it does not have any info as to who's its maker or the like. And I don't see any option in the BIO setup that would allow me to disable cache. So, two questions,
a) Is it possible to disable memory cache for SL410?
b) if so how?
Thanks.

Hi mujno,
As I know currently there is no programmatically way to clean cache for WebView, see Matt's blog:How to clear the WebView cache
However if you are developing an enterprise app, you should be able to invoke some scripts to clean for you, see this for more information:Brokered
Windows Runtime Components for side-loaded Windows Store apps

Is there configuration to have message for users when a spec object is already open for edit?

We are on v6111 and appreciate the warning message that tells the second user when two users have editted the same spec object and changes of the first have already been saved. What we are coming up against is users who want to know that someone else has already opened the spec object for edit. Is there a configation for this? Users don't like being informed after they enter data that someone else already saved a different edit ... they would like the warning before they do the actual work because it feels like a wasted effort ... If warned up front, they can come back and do the data entry later. We are trying to find the appropriate configuration option to put the warning message in the appropiate UX process/timing. Thank you!

Hi Beckie,
Sorry, but there is no out-of-the-box configuration to show this type of message.
