How to dispatch an event to the host application?

Can I create a keyboardEvent and dispatch it to the host application?
I'm trying to create an onscreen keyboard, so on every mouseUp event, a corresponding keyboardEvent is created and dispatched to the host application.
Is it even possible to dispatch a keyboard event programatically?

I can dispatch Keyboard Events programatically, and event listener inside my extension works just fine.
var evnt:KeyboardEvent = new KeyboardEvent(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, true, false, Keyboard.M);
this.dispatchEvent(evnt);
However, the KeyBoardEvent is not propogating up to the host application (Illustrator).
What do I need to do to send it on to the host application?

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

How do I merge events on the new IPhoto. The old one was simply drag and drop, this one will not.

How do I merge events on the new IPhoto. The old one was simply drag and drop, this one will not.

There are no longer events in Photos. The new Photos for Mac is structuring the Photos Library automatically into Moments based on dates and locations. You cannot change the moments.
When Photos migrates an iPhoto Library, it will create album for each event in the iPhoto Library, as a substitute, but these album based "events" are a fake, because albums behave differently from events.
In iPhoto each photo could be only in one event, so you could move photos from one event to another. With albums, dragging a photo from an album to another album will simply add the photo to the other album as well.
You will have to remove the photo from the original album.

How to trigger an event in the program

Hi,
I have a program. The purpose of the program is to retrieve the data matching the selection criteria and downlod the same to a file.
In the selection screen, I have a parameter called 'EVENT'. Here, user enters some event name. Generally, they enter the 'Background job processing events'.
So, my requirement is... once the files are successfully downloaded, the program should trigger the 'EVENT' specified in the selection screen at run time.
Can someone help me in this regard. How to trigger an EVENT in the program. Is there any Function Module or Method available in SAP which triggers the EVENT at runtime.
And is there any table available in SAP which stores all the events available in SAP. Because, whenever the user enters an EVENT in the selection screen, we should check whether the event is valid or not. So, if there is any table available which has all the events then, it will be easy I guess. or is there any other way to validate the EVENT name.
Please help me. Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Paddu.

Hello Paddu,
have a look at tables
- btcsev, btcsed (system events)
- btcuev, btcued (user events)
and use function BP_EVENT_RAISE.
kind regards

Detecting the host application type

I have a plug-in for Acrobat Professional. Is there any way for this plug-in to determine the host application like if it is running inside a Acrobat Professional or inside a browser container etc?
I need to know this becasuse my plug-in is causing the browsers to crash whenever they open PDF files. My idea is to detect the host for my app and abort loading the plug-in if it is not full blows Acrobat app.
Thanks
Shreedhar

You don't need to!
When you create your toolbar button, don't add EXTERNAL to the parameters you pass it.
How else is your plugin invoked other than button (see above) or menu (not present)?

Executing the host application

Hi, i developed a host application with OCF to communicate with my applet, everything is OK. now i wonder if i can execute the host application from an HTML page

SYNCHRONIZE will update the display with the internal stae of the application (so don't think you should be expecting any performance improvements).
HOST command will generally run synchronously - so it will wait for the host command to finish executing. If you want to asynchronously you could HOST out to a BAT file a put your commands in the BAT file.

How to dispatch custom events from an item renderer used for Datagrid Column

Hi,
I am using an Item Renderer for a Data Grid Column and in that mxml, I am dispatching a custom event with data.
But the main mxml which has the DataGrid is not able to resolve the event. How can I solve this?
Thanks

Hi,
This is the constructor for Event.
public function Event(type:String, bubbles:Boolean = false, cancelable:Boolean = false)
When you created your custom event after extending from Event, for the parent container receives the event, the bubbles property must be set to true.
Please check if you have done so. That should solve the problem. Let me know if it doesn't.

How do I know what is the host-side FIFO depth?

Hi.
In LabVIEW FPGA, the FIFO.Configure Method lets you determine the depth of the FIFO on the <u>host</u> side.
If my VIs have never included this method, is there a way of knowing how deep this FIFO has been all along?
I set my FPGA-side FIFO to be 8k deep. What depth does the host-side FIFO default to?
I am asking because I am getting some failures in my test VI that uses FIFOs and I suspect overflows are to blame.
Thanks,
AlejandroZ
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Here is a copy+paste from a post I made back in May 2010. I'll add some tags to the original so it should facilitate easier searching.
The DMA FIFO is actually implemented in 2 parts, you define the FPGA size in the project explorer(actual FPGA fabric), the Host side is defined programatically (Host RAM).
There is a configure method you can run on the Host, the default for the Host side is 10,000 elements. I would set the FPGA side much smaller, 1000 or so elements, save a lot of FPGA fabric. Configure the Host side to 64,000 or something.
Here is a help link to the Configure method:
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371599E-01/lvfpgahost/fpga_method_fifo_config/
and a link to the DMA FIFO help:

How to find domain name for the host

I have found the hostname but I am not able to find the domain name , how can I do that?? From the forums I was able to understand why the BSP Application was not displaying but unable to execute the same as I was unaware of the domain name.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Narayani

Hi Narayani,
What about doing something like this?
data: urls type tihttpurls2,wa type IHTTPURLS2, host type string.
call method cl_http_server=>get_extension_info
EXPORTING
extension_class = 'cl_http_ext_bsp'
IMPORTING
urls = urls.
concatenate sy-sysid '.' into host.
translate host to lower case.
loop at urls into wa.
replace host in wa-host with ''.
endloop.
The idea is that you get all the possible URLs and then delete the host part of it. Then you get the domain.

How do I publish SSI on the host?

I've tested my header.php and footer.php in the includes directory in Dreamweaver CS5 and it works fine. Now, how do I get this on the server/host? How do I know what path? Where is the 'ini' file? Help!

Hello
looking to your source code the only "include" referrals I can see are these e.g.
<script src="Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryDOMUtils.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryDOMEffects.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryWidget.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryPanelSet.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryFadingPanels.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryImageLoader.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Spry-UI-1.7/includes/SpryImageSlideShow.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Spry-UI-1.7/includes/plugins/ImageSlideShow/SpryPanAndZoomPlugin.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
BUT the right place (there the are installed normally) for these *.js and *.css files is "SpryAssets".
I found too a http://www.aliciamaephoto.com/includes/header.php but no path to it, and no
<?php include("includes/header.php"); ?> in your source code.
Please have a look to David Powers well-elaborated tutorial about SSI there: http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/sprymenu/ssi.php.

How can I delete events from the iPad calendar?

I can add events although not particularly user friendly. I cannot seem to remove them and/or just reset the whole calendar. At this point, I'll just use my trusty paper planner! I did try searching the forums and looking in the deficient iPad manual. Thanks in advance.

How to create a portlet through the hosted portal service?

Hi!
I'm currently working with Release 2, Portal Version 9.0.2.2.14.
I read that it is possible to create a portlet (eg. survey portlet) through the hosted portal serviced (portal.oracle.com). How can I do this?

The easiest way to provide search on just pages (not content areas) would be to crawl portal pages just like static pages. We have search partners on http://portalcatalog.oracle.com/ that can help you w/ this.

How to dispatch an event on external topic

Hi, I need to know if it is possible to dispatch an event on an external (BEA) Topic instead of ENS server queue.
If yes, any link for docs/example?

Thanks in advance

Hi Everyone,
Im currently having a problem with the event notification service for sun java calendar server 6( sun communication suite 5)...i have successfully compiled the sample publisher apub.c and subscriber asub.c..apart from this i haven't done any changes/settings in ics.conf or any other file..when i run the code using the following :
subscriber window:asub.c
./a.out localhost 57997
subscription successfull
publisher window:apub.c
./a.out localhost 57997
apub>bla bla
apub>.
#[root@localhost~]:In the output for apub.c when the apub prompt appears the logic of the code simply has to put whatever we type onto the publisher window(publish) and when i enter '.' on a line by itself the publisher shuts down..*But in my case there is nothing appearing on the subscriber window..there is no notification happening...*
Can i please know if i have missed out any steps..and also if ENS really works.._The thing i want to finally achieve is to somehow get the text/calendar response object containing the event details with the help of ENS_...i'll be grateful if anybody could answer me..
many thanks,
Bharath
