How to record OS UI actions

I want to record a tutorial about how to configure a web
server in Windows Vista, but when I click on the Start button, the
operating system intercepts all calls from the keyboard, like
PrtScr or F11, and so I can't seem to be able to capture the steps.
Does anybody know how to do it with Captivate 3? Thanks.

Doh! I kind of figured that you would have tried that
already, but you never know. OK... I have one other
suggestion– not such a no-brainer, but maybe more convoluted
than you want: VNC.
If you were running your app on another machine, it wouldn't
be able to intercept your keystrokes locally. I'm recording Mac
stuff, so I have no choice but to use VNC, but it's actually been
kind of nice.
If I'm just setting up a series of shots, I do it on the Mac,
and reach over and hit Printscreen on the PC as needed. That way,
only the clicks and keystrokes I actually want are captured. (And
if I mis-click, I don't have to listen to Captivate taking pictures
of me while I fix my mistake.) If I do want Captivate to detect my
actions, I work through the VNC viewer.
Have a great weekend!

  • How to record 'select' action in alv report using BDC technique

    hi guys, u r the best;)
    my question is: when u select one line in alv report, the line will be high-lighted, right? and suppose there's a button for further processing, then u can click the button to process only this line. ok now, using BDC technique, the system doesn't record the 'select' action! even i go to menu-->select all, it still doesn't work.
    or if anybody knows how to release customer expected price except t-code v.25? cuz, i'm trying to record actions in v.25.
    thx in advance, u helped me a lot.

    Hi :
       you cannot record ALV using BDC.According to ur req., after u enter data in selection screen, it goes to ALV list , there u select particular record and process further rite, say create in bck ground or foreground.
    While doing recording, in selection screen if u have any check box which displays ALV List , uncheck it and continue ur recording.
    In the bdc program u can see a field some thing like p_alvlist ' ', mark it as p_alvlist ' / '.
    If not, copy the program along with includes,  in ur  program comment all the alv part, and  call that particular FM where this selection takes place from ur main program.
    Hope this helps.
    Reward points if this is useful.
    Thx.

  • How to create play all actions in one Click

    Please help

    The first action in that action set play the rest of actions in that action set it does not play all actions. That would require a Photoshop script to retrieve all the loaded action sets and do the action in each. Why would you want to run random actions.
    That first action in the set was the last action recorded in the action set. Started with a make snapshot named normal then select that snapshot then play the next action in the set, The select snapshot normal and play next action is repeated till the rest of the action in the set have been played. Then a stop message is displayed.  The other actions in the set make a group add their effect and make a snapshot.  If you uncheck the stop step you could even batch this action, The stop would stop the batch process.
    Just expand the actions and action steps and read the steps. Actions are easy to record and edit. The action palette is a full function action editor. You can single step and edit at the same time.  Reading action is a good way to learn how to use Photoshop and you will know if an action is going to destroy work you have dons on a document like flatten you work.

    How much recording time on iphone4 voice memo?

    I would suggest that it depends on how much free space you have on the phone. I have done voice memos of over an hour before, and have read of other users reporting larger ones. I do not believe there is any documented source of what size you can do.

  • How to record my voice by headphone on mac mini

    Hi all,
    How to record my voice by headphone on mac mini. The headphone have a microphone. It can record on window 7, but on mac mini, it's not working.
    I don't know why. Please help me.
    Thanks.

    Open Quicktime Player
    File Menu: New Audio Recording....
    However... if the headphone/microphone combination has two 3.5mm jack plugs (pink and green) then the microphone output (pink) is "mic.level" - which is TOO QUIET for the audio input on a Mac, which is expecting the much stronger "line.level" signal strength.
    Solutions: get a microphone pre-amplifier between the mic and the Mac (not cheap); or a different microphone with a USB interface.

  • How can I set limitations on how many records a report can return

    I have a report on the web using Oracle Reports builder and I have the client enter in date parameters for the report that they want.
    Well with date ranges for different clients a different number of records are returned. Because of time it can take the report to return I want to limit the number of records that report can return.
    How can I go about doing that? I don't want to limit with date parameters because date won't really work for me. I need to limit on how many records can be returned. If it exceeds 10,000 records I want the client to refine the date range of schedule the report to run later. Meaning we will run that report. So I would have two check boxes if the count was over 10,000 do you want to define your date or schedule the job to run later.
    Can any one help me with this? How would I go about this?

    To know if the report is going to return more than 10,000 records, you first have to run the query with a 'select count(1) from ... where ...' (with the same from and where clauses as you normal query). Since this takes about the same time as runnng your report, I wonder if you really gain anything (although formatting may take some time too).
    You may simplify the select count(1) query by omitting all the lookup tables that are only needed for formatting. That way your query may run a lot faster. You can put this in your after parameter form trigger.

    The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?

    Hi,
    Try adding an expression element on your form.
    Go to the Expression control properties and in the Expression attribute enter
    IF(@Selected==true,"X"," ")
    @Selected is the checkbox. For your function call input use the expression element and not the checkbox.
    Hope this helps. Let me know if it works.
    Thanks.

  • Adobe premiere elements 12 - how to create menu bar action for my inserted image button

    adobe premiere elements 12 - how to create menu bar action for my inserted image button without using their movie menu theme

    forbemag
    I do not think that I am completely focused into this completely, so let us see if the following is going to help.
    You are going to need a base for your button. When you mention "image" button, I am assuming that you are using that term to differentiate between a text button and a thumbnail type button.
    The menus (main and scene) take their origin in .psd files on the hard drive and strict nomenclature and structure for Layers Palatte. And, the buttons on the menus trace back to the menu markers on the Timeline, main menu marker and order of placement of scene markers. The scene thumbnail will only appear when there is a scene marker on the Timeline to which it.
    In view of all that
    Where have you already inserted this "image (button)"...into the Layers Palette of a Photoshop document or other? Is this "image (button)" in a structured Layer Group in the Layers Palette with sublayer groups, text layers, graphic/background layer"?
    Let me give you an example
    If you have a button (with thumbnail) on the main menu and you want that to open to a specific scene in your movie, then you use a main menu marker on the Timeline at the spot that you want that button to target.
    If I am getting closer to what you seek, then please further clarify the DVD navigational envisioned scheme.
    Thanks.
