How to reference InDesign CS 5.5 in a vbscript?

Having done mostly AppleScript and JavaScript in recent years I got stuck on what must be dead simple, but I can't figure it out, that is, how to create a reference to the InDesign application object.
With previous version this is what I do
set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS3")
But I can't find the proper version string, CS55, CS5.5, CS5_5 etc does not work. Nor can I leave the version number out, because that will launch CS4 (which is also installed on the machine
Please help with this annoying problem.

Thanks for fast answer!
The problem is the script-string that is written above (set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CSxx?")ActiveX component can't create object so I guess the syntax is wrong. I've tried with 5, 5.5, 55 and so on...Tried the administrator-run as well but with no improvement.
The vb-program stops at the create object part with error message
I can use vb script with CS5, it's just CS5.5 that I have a problem with.

[AS] IDCS4 - How to reference tagged rectangle in layer

Hi
What I am trying to do is access a tagged rectangle called IMAGE, with a script label of IMAGE in a group on a locked layer, and replace that rectangles content with a new image, and have not had much success.
When I unlock the layer and un-group the group, I can then access the tagged rectangle
with the code below.
(the code was cobbled together from here http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/datapublish/index.html)
Could someone please show me how to reference a tagged rectangle on a locked layer in a group please, if I need to unlock the layer then that's fine.
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
    tell the active document
        set the rectangle_list to every rectangle of every spread ¬
            whose label is not "" and content type is graphic type

            set the rectangle_list to the rectangle_list as list

Something like this should get you started:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
tell document 1
set theRects to every item of all page items whose class is rectangle and label is "IMAGE"
repeat with i from 1 to count of theRects
set oneRect to item i of theRects
-- unlock layer if necessary
if locked of item layer of oneRect is true then
set lockFlag to true
set locked of item layer of oneRect to false
else
set lockFlag to false
end if
set this_image to place this_image on oneRect
-- do your stuff to the image
if lockFlag is true then set locked of item layer of oneRect to true -- relock the layer
end repeat
end tell
end tell

I am giving binding variable as input for 2nd function (child node) . I don't know how to reference the binding variable value in child view from parent view.
Like I have to refernce employeId,startDate, endDate values in 2nd function from parent view object. some thing like parentNode.selectedStart_date parentNode.employeeId.
I know we can achive this writing the code in backing bean.But i want to know how can we refernce parent view object attribute values in child view object using Groovy or otherway?

How to reference a user parameter in program unit

I tried to define a user parameter in Oracle Report 6i and I could reference it (&p_where_clause) in the main query but I failed to reference it in one of the program units. Here is the logic:
function CF_OTHER_COURSESFormula return Char is
cnt           number;
priority     number;
class_code     varchar2(8);
oc           varchar2(100) := null;
cursor oc_cur is
select class_code, branch_priority
from nominations n, employments e
where n.hkic_no = e.hkic_no
and e.staff_status_code = 'EMP'
and &p_where_clause --> contain "n.course_code in ('A','B','C')"
and n.hkic_no = :hkic_no
and n.class_code != :class_code;
begin
cnt := 1;
open oc_cur;
loop
fetch oc_cur into class_code, priority;
if oc_cur%notfound then
     exit;
end if;
if cnt = 1 then
oc := oc||class_code||'('||priority||')';
else
oc := oc||', '||class_code||'('||priority||')';
end if;
cnt := cnt + 1;
end loop;
close oc_cur;
return oc;
exception
when no_data_found then
return '';
end;
Does anyone tell me how to reference it in program unit? Does Oracle Reports 6i support this operation?

There hasn't been any changes to the way lexicals and bind variables work in Reports between 2.5 and 6i. There are different versions of PL/SQL and you might be hitting some problem here.
In your case, you shouldn't be using the query lexical "&p_where_clause" just the PL/SQL bind variable syntax ":p_where_clause". Since you're creating a PL/SQL cursor, you should probably use dynamic sql creation with a concatenation of the where clause to build up the SQL for the cursor. Check out the PL/SQL documentation for this.

Can I open .pmd files in indesign? And how? Since indesign is a "substitute" for PageMaker it should/must be possible, but I don't know how to do it

Can I open .pmd files in indesign? And how? Since indesign is a "substitute" for PageMaker it should/must be possible, but I don't know how to do it

CS6 was the last version capable of opening Pagemaker files. It's included with Cloud subscriptions, so if you don't have it installed (or an earlier version) you can download it from your cloud subscription.
To open them you use File > Open..., but the quality of conversion can range between nearly perfect and total garbage, depending on the PM file and the status of links (unembed images before trying to convert).

Adobe CS3 Suite -- How to Get InDesign and Acrobat Pro to Install?

I uninstalled and deactivated my Adobe CS3 Design Premium from my 1st gen Macbook (2006) and installed it on my 3rd gen Macbook Air (2011). When I installed CS3 using the original discs, InDesign and Acrobat did not install properly. How to fix?
My questions:
1. Got any ideas how to install InDesign and Acrobat Pro without uninstalling the whole CS3, running the cleaner tool, and reinstalling everything again? I tried to rerun the installer just for InDesign and Acrobat Pro but I got the same result -- no install.
2. Installing CS3 takes forever -- at least several hours. Is it because I'm sending it over my wireless network? (I'm "sharing" the DVD drive on my other Macbook because my Air doesn't have one.)
Thanks so much!!
(More background, in case it's useful -- before installing CS3, I had run the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to clean up the mess I made when I tried to migrate CS3 using Mac's migration assistant. I learned, thanks to this forum, that I couldn't use the Migration Assistant tomove CS3. I also found that the unistaller didn't transfer, so I manually deleted folders and then used the cleaner. It worked wel enough to allow me to install everything but InDesign and Acrobat Pro.)

Thanks Jeff (and Manish). I'm all for better reliability and a quicker installation.
This may seem like a dumb question, but how do I properly copy the CS3 install files onto a USB? Drag and drop everythng from the CD? Can I not just copy the files onto my desktop and install from there? That is what I thought Manish suggested, to install from the desktop.
I had tried this method. After copying the install files to the desktop, here's what happened: I clicked the setup application and it opened, but it immediately detected that I had CS3 installed and wouldn't let me go any further. Perhaps that was due to other problems resulting from use of the Migration Assistant.
Previously, when I used the install disk on the shared drive, I was able to open the setup and install the couple of CS3 programs that weren't installed the first time around. That installation attempt failed and led me here to my original post.
Many thanks!

How InDesign comes to know about any changes on document, but not saved. As it shows * on the name of document when it is opened and any changes. And after saving * symbol is get removed from the name of document. How and where indesign@ handles this?

Are you just asking because you want to know, or do you have a problem you need to solve? I don't know how to write a program, but I think what your are describing is not an unusual thing for a program to do. The * tells you that changes have been made since the last save, and the program reserves a portion of memory for undo functions. I suppose a coder could tell you how it works, but I don't think it would help an average user to know, but that's just my opinion.

How to reference the selected row on a report by click a radiobox

I created a report with a column displayed as a radiobox.The report source is like "select htmldb_item.radiogroup(1,.....),rec_id,....from .... where ....",after click one radiobox,i want to get other column's value in the selected row in the after submit process ,can anyone help me?????? how to reference "rec_id" of the selected row?

Hello,
First, please tell us your first name, and update your forum handle. It’s make it easier to track your threads, and help you.
>> apex_application.g_f01(1)" only return the first record's rec_id,if i click radiobox in other rows,it returns the same result as click radiobox in the first row?
The ‘G_F01’ is an array of values, so apex_application.g_f01(1) will always bring you the first element of this array. If you want to retrieve other values from this array, which will include the values of the radiogroup value of the other lines, you need to use a loop. Something like that should work:
for i in 1.. apex_application.g_f01.count loop
… apex_application.g_f01(i) …
end loop;
>> after click one radiobox,i want to get other column's value in the selected row in the after submit process
That means that the value of your radiogroup item should include some indication to the line you are on. If, like in Andy’s example, you can retrieve your record from a table, based on a PK, your radiogroup can return this kind of information. However, if the data on the other columns of the select raw, were just entered/updated by the user (like in a tabular form), the radiogroup item should include information about the row you are in, in order for you to be able to access the corresponding array elements – other G-Fxx arrays – of the other columns in the row. In this case, I believe using checkboxes is preferable.

Arie.

Custom icon strip - how to reference it in the HHC?

I could not get the custom icon strip to work for me. I think that I understood the overall concept but I do not know how to reference the bmp file in the HHC.Ricks Tips and Tricks file only states "make the reference inside the HHC file". Where exactly do I place the <param name="..." value="C:..BMP"> reference?
Perhaps there is an example?

Rick,
thanks for your efforts despite my ignorance! My HHC file does not look like that, it has a different structure without an HTML list. After some fiddeling I got it to work now, even though I still did not find out why my TOC structure does not match yours (the binary TOC option is not active).
Instead of using the <param name="ImageList" value="C:tocimages.bmp"> line, I inserted the reference into the properties tag. My HHC looks like this now and it works:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<toc version="1.0">
<properties imagelist="C:tocimages.bmp">
</properties>
<item name=".." link="...html">
(here the TOC items follow)
</item>
</toc>

How to reference a Planning Application in Workspace

Hello,
I've developped several Planning applications.
But when I open workspace / Applications / Planning, (with an admin user)
I only see one Planning application. So I want to know how to reference a Planning application in Workspace ??
Thanks for your help
Best regards

Some details :
My Planning applications seems to works correctly. Essbase is Okay. Shared services is okay too but the Workspace is out (and with it Financial Reporting Studio).
Before that problem, In the configurator, I've deleted all Planning clusters except one (Default). I've selected Re-associate Clusters and Applications and I've successfully re-Associate all Planning Application to Default Cluster. Then I've Activated Cluster Default.
But Anyway, Since I've deleted Planning Clusters my Workspace doesn't work anymore.
I've a doubt: I've tried to redeploy Workspace (Configurator / Hyperion Foundation / Workspace / Deploy to Application Server and Configure web Server.
It doesn't work because it says that Workspace already exists :p.
Anyway I'm surprised about something : To access Workspace we use the 19000 port but In Configuration we I try to deploy it I see it is on the 45000 port. If I click on advanced / Setup a little window open "Set up Logical Address". And it is writtend Edit Default Cluster : gl-dev-budget : 45000 meanwhile when (still in Configurator) I open Planning / Manage Planning Cluster the server port is 8300 ??
Is someone can helps me ?
Thanks
Best regards

How to reference a field statically in a program?

Hi Everyone,
Can any one explain me how to reference a field statically.
As the error on Extended program check is as follows:
Field FLAG is not referenced statically in the program
where as the particular field has been defined as below in the program :
when 'SMTP_ADDR'.
DATA: flag type i.
I think is there a need to define the field globally.
Thanks and Regards,
Johny

Hi,
We can avoid this EPC check by deleting or putting a comment Or By passeing the EPC to it ie
DATA:
w_flag type i." #EPC
we can also avoid the EPC error by this way.then this willnt be aa part of EPC check
Thanks & Regards,

How to reference session state in a list entry label

You can use &<item>. to reference session state values which can then be used in titles and item labels but it seems it does not work in the label for a list entry (i.e. to build a menu). Is there a workaround?
thanks in advance
PaulP

OK I just realized that referencing session state doesn't work for lists used by Enkitec's NavBar plugin solution. It does reference the &<ITEM>. correctly for normal APEX lists. Anyone know how to reference session state when using Enkitec's NavBar plugin solution?

How to reference current tab on page zero?

Hi,
I have regions placed on page zero. How could I reference the current tab? I have to many pages, so using display condition by using page ID is little uncomfortable. I thought I could make a condition by using SQL expression and referring the label or name of the currently active tab. I think, this is a trivial question, but I can not find how to referre to the current tab's name or label.
Tamas

Hi
I have the exact same problem.
I cant have multiple navigators on page 0.
Therefore my navigator on the left hand side should be dynamic, based on the tab I click.
I've gotten this far (select statement below), but I don't know how to reference the current tab that I've clicked on / the current tab is active (see :P0_TAB_NAME)

How to reference complex data type when consuming web services in WAS 620?

In WAS 620, I tried to consume a web service in ABAP. I was successful when the web service returned one or more simple data type. But when the web service is changed to return a complex data type (eg. a structure with 3 elements), the call to the web service did not return anything.
Do any of you know how to reference the individual element in the structure of an output parameter in a web service? I use the add_parameter method of the CSoapDocument class to identify the output parameters.
