How to select a path in filebrowser?

Hi all,
I want to use the file browser (from FileBrowser.fp). If a path is given (e.g. from history) I want the file to be selected in the file browser, and the directory tree being expanded to the appropriate directory.
The only function I have found was to set the attribute ATTR_START_PATH which doesn't fit my needs because it limits browsing to this directory (and subfolders), but I want the user to be able to browse everything, including root level.
Is there a function or an example to preselect a path or a file with path in the file browser?
Thanks in advance for your help.

The way I did this was to use Makepathname and FileSelectPopup functions like so:
MakePathname ("c:\\", "Whatever.csv", pathname);
ipath = FileSelectPopup ("c:\\", "*.csv*", ".csv", "Save File As...", VAL_SAVE_BUTTON, 0, 0, 1, 0, pathname);
if (ipath = 0)
break;
This particular case sets the default as a .csv file, but you can have it as any file type. In the first argument of the FileSelectPopup function just set the directory as high up as you like. In my case I wanted to have the whole c drive available. Try this and let me know if it works for you.

How to select directory path in a selection screen

Hi ,
We can select a file path using the below statement :
DATA : P_FILE TYPE RLGRAP-FILENAME.
But how can the similar be achieved for a directory, that is if one wants to select a folder.
Folder path can be retrieved from the function : "TMP_GUI_BROWSE_FOR_FOLDER" but this doesnt give us the privilege of displaying the path selected in a parameter form as is with the file type.
Any kind of help would be apprecialble.

How to Select Database Path via labview

Hello gurus...........
I am new user in labview. I want read and write in database through labivew . I have
done read and write program. Now I want choose database storage path through labview .
I tried differnt ways but I couldn't.
First read and write program i did via UDL file path .Now i want Directly choose ".mdb" file path.
I dont know how to do ......
So if you know please help me.....
Thanks advance

I think the way the database connectivity toolkit works, it is expecting the database to already exist. The function you are calling creates a table so it probably errors if the file doesn't exist. If you google 'create access database programmatically' you may be able to find something useful for creating a new access database file. Don't forget that you also have the native File I/O functions in LabVIEW for copying/moving files on disk.
For the connection string...there's a handy website here: http://www.connectionstrings.com/
I think you can also open a connection file (UDL) in notepad?

ORGANIZER: How to select correct path to the folder to be controlled (Windows 7, GERMAN)

The path selected automatically is set to users/my_name/pictures, whereas my path on my German OS is Benutzer/my-name/Bilder --> so this does not match, but I cannot change it.

You may wish to create a new catalog and then try a catalog conversion from Organizer if the existing catalog is listed.

How to select paths with the same stroke width

I would like to know how to select all the paths inside a document whose stroke width are equal to 0.361 points
I will appreciate any help.

How do I change a default from feathered edge to sharp edge when I select a path?
I'm working in Photoshop CS6 on a Mac and am having trouble when I select a Path it automatically feathers the selection border. I can't seem to find any place to adjust a feather setting. Does anyone have a suggestion? I'm using paths to silhouette an image on a photograph to use in another document and I need a hard edge on it, not a feathered one.

In the Paths panel, click the flyout menu (in the top right of the panel) and choose Make Selection (this option will only be available if you have a path selected). Reduce the Feather Radius to 0 (zero) and click OK. This setting will be the default even when clicking the Load Path as Selection button.

Does anyone know how to select multiple files in photoshop cs6 on macbook pro lion

I'm new to Mac operating system. Can anyone tell me how to select multiple images in cs6 photoshop? Without having to hold down a shift or cmd key and clicking on each one.

I assume you are using the Shape tool to draw your hexagons. After you drag out the shape, use the Transform controls to tweak the size, so that the width is evenly divisible by 4, and the height is an even number. If you wand a gap between shapes, include that in your adjustments. Make a note of the new width and height.
Once the scaling is committed and the shape is selected, Control+Alt+T to Free Transform Copy, and in the Option Bar, set the X and Y to Relative. Set X to zero, and Y to the height you set earlier, and commit the Transform. Then Repeatedly press Shift+Control+Alt+T to make more transformed copies.
With a vertical column of shapes, Alt-Click on the Shape Path in the Paths panel to select the whole path. Control+Alt+T again. This time, again using relative, set X to three-quarters of the width you noted earlier, and Y to one-half the height, and commit
Finally, again Alt-click on the Shape Path in the Paths panel, and Transform Copy relative with X = one and a half times the width you noted, and Y to zero. After committing this, Shift+Control+Alt+T as above to extend more columns.
And JJ, those are Octagons .

Select all paths of a specific color in one document

Hi,
I'm on Illy CS2, windows xp.
I want to open a doc, run a script that selects all paths of a color, say 255,0,0 or 50,0,20,4 and changes that color to black or another color I specify and also changes the stroke. Is this possible? I can't see how i would do it?
Thanks in advance,
Stan

Unfortunatly there is no getByColor method - below is a clunky way to get an array of objects that match a provided CMYK color : // Color you want to match myColor = new CMYKColor(); myColor.black = 50; myColor.cyan = 0; myColor.magenta = 0; myColor.yellow = 0; foundObjects = getSameColor("ALL",myColor); function CMYKMatch(control,test) { if (test.black == control.black && test.cyan == control.cyan && test.magenta == control.magenta && test.yellow == control.yellow) { return true; } else { return false; } } function getSameColor(type,color) { var results = new Array(); if (type != "FILL" || type != "STROKE" || type != "ALL") { myArt = app.activeDocument.pageItems; for(var i = 0; i<myArt.length;i++) { if (myArt[i].typename != "TextFrame") { if (type == 'FILL' || type == 'ALL') { if (CMYKMatch(color, myArt[i].fillColor)) { results.push(myArt[i]); } } if(type == 'STROKE' || type == 'ALL') { if (CMYKMatch(color,myArt[i].strokeColor)) { results.push(myArt[i]); } } } } } return results; }

How to select active Oracle ODBC Driver programmatically?

Hi,
My application creates ODBC DSN to connect with Oracle 10g database server. I need to find out Oracle Driver installed on the system programmatically. I am trying to read KEY_<PRODUCT NUMBER> registry key and eventually searching ORACLE_HOME value. This helps me in searching Oracle Driver in ODBCINST.INI registry key. (Oracle in OraDb10g_home1)
If multiple Oracle clients are installed on the same system, multiple KEY_<PRODUCT NUMBER> registry keys and oracle drivers would be available. I am not sure which and how to select the current active oracle driver.
Oracle in OraDb10g_home1
Oracle in OraDb10g_home2
Can anybody help me out? Can I use inventory file (inventory.xml) to determince current active home directory? Reading PATH environment variable to identity active home directory would be tedious.

Please look at following thread for answer.

<<I'm assuming there is more to your XML than you showed, since
StudentLevel/StudentLevelCode

Yes, to simplify, I left out some of the additional XML data, which is typically present, sorry for any confusion. I should have removed those references to that data in my example which was failing to retrieve the NCESCode data which was denoted by that namespace.
Thank you very much! Your correction worked. I was not understanding until your correction how to properly reference in the XPATH for that namespace value. I'm a newbie at this, and this is my second post. But I've been able to populate quite a few relational tables and that was the first of several namespace tags I will have to deal with next, and with that help, I should be good with that syntax now.
Thanks again for your help on this.

Select 2 Paths with Action

Hi guys,
I need to create an action. A simple one. The idea: One path is selected, a user runs the action, it makes a copy of that path, moves the copy, select both the path and its copy and makes a blend.
I tried to record that action, but Illustrator does not record the paths selection/selecting (sorry for my English).
Please suggest any way (or workaround).
Even a simplier task: How, in general, having one path selected, select an item/path above or below it? And how to select them both?
I can make a script for that, but the requirement is to keep it as simple as possible: have an Action only without any scripts, if possible.
Thank you.

- select your path
- open Attributes Palette
- in the Note Attribute write "select" for example
- start recording your action
- make a copy of your path and move it
- in the Actions Palette's menu, click on "Select Object..."
- in the Set Selection Dialog, type "select" (the note you assign earlier)
- click ok to dismiss the dialog
- go to Object->Blend->Blend Options... and set your blending options
- go to Object->Blend->Make
- stop recording

How to delete a path between two anchor points

hi ,
it's all in the title ,
could you tell me please how to delete a path between two anchor points without using the path eraser tool ?
When I select these two anchor points and press delete everything is gone.
ps : I want to keep the anchor points after the deletion
Thank you

Silkrooster wrote:
With some experimentation, I did find that selecting the path can leave orphan points. So keep that in mind as it may be necessary to use Object>Path>Clean up...
You will not get orphan points if you delete a segment that is not at the end of a path. For segment that is at the end of a path, or is the entire path, select the end point/s and press delete. For the one segment that is entire path you can use the selection tool (black pointer) or hold Alt with the direct selection tool (white pointer) which is useful for objects in a group.
