How to select a range of frames

Is there any way to select a range of frames in Scout beyond dragging the little handles in the "Frame timeline window" or using "Ctrl-A" to select all?
For a large trace having to drag the handles is very tedious if it's across a minute's worth of frames, but we don't want to select them all.
What we're looking for is like the "Goto Frame" option in the menu, but to select a start and end frame that way. Not just jump to the frame.
Or the ability to click in the Frame timeline window to set the start/end frame, without grabbing and dragging a handle (which may be way off screen).
Is there some way to do this?
Or is there any way to select a frame range in the overall frame summary window above the timeline?
Thanks,
Doug

In the frame timeline, you can hold down the Shift key and click, to change the end-frame of the selection. You can also click and drag to select multiple frames.

XML/XPath question--how to select a range of elements with XPath?

Hi there,
I have an XML DOM in memory. I need to do hold it and issue only parts of it to my client app in "pages". Each page would be a self-contained XML doc, but would be a subset of the original doc. So for instance the first page is top-level elements 1-5. 2nd page would be 6-10 etc. Is this solution best solved with XPath? If not, what's the best way? If so, I have the following question:
Is there a way to use XPath to select a range of nodes based on position within the document? I know I can do an XPath query that will return a single Node based on position. So for example if I wanted the first node in some XML Book Catalog I could do XPathAPI.selectSingleNode(doc, "/Catalog/Book[position()=1]"); I could wrap the previous call in a loop, replacing the numeric literal each time, but that seems horribly inefficient.
Any ideas? Thanks much in advance!

Your question is about marking a range of cells. 99% of the code posted has nothing to do with this. If you want to create a simple table for test purposes then just do:
JTable table = new JTable(10, 5);
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( table );
getContentPane().add( scrollPane );
In three line of code you have a simple demo program.
When I leave the mouse button again, these bunch/range of cells shall stay "marked". table.setCellSelectionEnabled( true );
and I'd like to obtain, say, a vector of a vector containing just those data marked beforeUse the getSelectedRows() and getSelectedColumns() methods for this information. I would suggest you create a Point object to reflect the row/column position and then add the point to an ArrayList.

How to Select a range instead of the whole row in Excel? ie a to k, m to z, VBA Code Below.

Sub CopyPasteEntries()
Dim i, g, h As Integer
i = 2
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Do Until IsEmpty(Cells(i, 1))
    i = i + 1
Loop
g = i - 1
h = 2
For i = 2 To g
    Sheets("Sheet1").Select
    If Cells(i, 1).Value <> "Created" Then 'first cell

Select a range from the Project window in iMovie 10.0.3

In iMovie 10.0.3, I can no longer select a range of frames from the Project window; when I left click, the whole clip highlights yellow. I can still shorten the clip from the ends, but not select any range within the clip. What gives? Thank you.

GOOD GRIEF! That did it, THANK YOU! I wonder why they added this 2 second delay in the current version... regardless, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

How do I select a range of values in MySQL using a drop down menu

Hi,
I have a database of picture frames that have a value of
frame width. I want to be able to select a range of values (i.e.
.50" to 1") instead of each and every value (i.e. .50", .56", .76",
etc.). I have a drop down menu (mnuWidth) with 5 ranges (see
attached code).
Each selection has a value from 1 to 5 indicating the range I
want to search. In my results page I have let DW set up a recordset
(see attached code)
Can anyone tell me how to get this to choose a range instead
of just the value entered by my menu?
Thanks in advance.
Tom

I have been growing fond of lookup tables. Your lookup table would have your numbers in one column and the values you want returned in the next.
Lookup table
item
Name
1
a
2
b
3
c
4
d
5
e
6
f
7
g
8
h
9
i
Input table
input
Name
1
a
B2 and copied down:
LOOKUP(A2,lookup::$A$2:$A$11,lookup::$B$2:$B$11)
Caution: Lookup will return the closest value so it it looks for "10" in this example it will return "i"
If you don't want to see the error messages from blank inputs, wrap Lookup in IFERROR.
hope this helps

If you used Sequence to Layers, Shift and Control key in the layers palette work just as they would when selecting files in Explorer... If it's a video layer, then you should only see one layer and will have to use the Timeline to navigate.

How to select range for dater in BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETLIST2

Hi All
I have following problem with this FM BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETLIST2. I was looking a lot on different forums but I cannot find answer which corresponds to my problem.
I have in DMS saved files for our customer and Iu2019m using object linking as
Objlinkselection-DOKOB = KNA1
Objlinkselection- OBJKY = KUNNR.
It works well, but it takes all doc from beginning. Iu2019d like to make selection that final table documentdata is in range of defined range date with values 20111201 to 20111231
Now I have to select all documents for this customer and after that I have to make loop to get correct files. And it takes a huge time and in a few years it will collaps
LOOP AT LT_DOCUMENTDATA INTO <FS> WHERE CREATEDATE IN rn_DATE.
ENDLOOP.
Any hint how to make this faster?
Just to avoid any misunderstandings, I'm not asking on loop speed but how to select by FM less rows based on create date.
Thank a lot fo any hint
Petr

Hello Deepak,
Thanks a lot for your answer. I have read this thread already, but it is not realy what I need. But anyway in the night I have found solution.
I will go through table DRAW where I will get just DOCNUMS for current date range.
Than I will select correct rows from table DRAD for selected KUNNR.
Final set od DOCNUMS I will use as selection criteria for BAPI.
It should help, now I go to try it.
Thansk anyway

How select a range or portion of a clip when importing?

Upgraded from FC Studio 5.1 to FCP10.1 when importing media (mp4 or AVCHD) from the hard drive how do I select a range or portion of a clip in the media import window if I do not want to import the entire clip into FCP. At this point I can select the entire clip indicated by the yellow outline around it however there does not appear to be any way to click drag to resize the yellow outline to select just a portion of the clip.
Thanks for any help.

So if I have a 500mb .mp4 clip I have to import the entire clip? No possible way to select a range? However FC alows native folder AVCHD clip portions to be imported, very interesting.
If I connect my Canon xa20 via USB to my iMac would FC then alow me to select clip portions (AVCHD or .mp4) to import?

How does the CBO calculate the selectivity for range predicates on ROWID ?

Hi all,
I'm wondering how the CBO estimate the selectivity for range predicates based on ROWID columns.
For example, for the following query the CBO estimates there's going to be 35004 rows returned instead of 7:

Case 1 - . If you check Plan hash value: 16772749938
=====
TABLE ACCESS BY ROWID RANGE| INTSFI For every row access from INTSFI - it fetches a record from INDEX UNIQUE SCAN | PURMAR1
If we check A-rows = 9226
9226 * 7 = 64582 request across the table - perhaps with hint of rowid it fetches exact rows from PURMAR1
in this case i think going for hash join with ordered hints (jonathan as you suggest go for leading hint's instead of ordered) - from INTSFI - PURMAR1 - instead of going for IN clause would get the rows that satifies the ("P"."NUPUR"=1 AND "I"."COMAR"="P"."COMAR")

Which migt be feasible.

ROWID<='AAADxyAAWAAHDLIAAH'Ahmed AANGOUR, modified the query by /*+ NL_SJ */ hint, Instead of that in to remove the most of the rows as we join the tables using subquery, I still doubt it
to go push_predicate hints - still doubt it.
Jonathan your comments are most valuable in the above two cases..
Looking forward to calrify my understanding with concepts of indexes for above test cases

How to select a text frame that has been "Sent to Back"?

Hi Framers,
In FM 7.2 (all patches up to date, running on Windows XP Pro), I added a note inside a text frame next to an anchored frame holding an image. I nudged the text frame close to the image but it blocked out a tiny portion of the image. So I selected the text frame and from the Graphics menu clicked Send to Back. Solved that problem, of course. Now I want to change the wording in the note but can't do it because the entire text frame has been sent to back -- how can I select it to Bring to Front so I can edit its contents???
This MUST be something totally obvious, right? Can I plead pre-holiday brain freeze?
TIA,
Gay

Hello again, Sheila ;~)
I selected all and moved my cursor all around the page (around various pages, actually, since Ctrl+A selects the entire chapter), and I see what you mean by the color of the arrow's head changing between black and white. Is it significant that the ONLY time it's black is when I'm outside the frame of the page itself? (That is, in the white, non-editable space around the actual frame borders on the page.) Clicking anywhere, whether inside or outside the active area, deselects everything.
HOLD THE PRESSES! Even though I *knew* I hadn't grouped my text frame with anything else, after reading your suggestion, I selected the page frame to make sure I hadn't somehow grouped it with my text frame: I hadn't -- but then, on a hunch, I sent IT (the page frame) to the back -- now I can select the text frame!
I'm marking your response as answering my question and I'm also going to try to mark Peter's the same way, because each of you in your own way, helped me resolve this problem.
Thank you both and HAPPY HOLIDAYS! (Gee, and I didn't get either of you anything... maybe next year ;~))
Gratefully,
Gay
Hi, Gay:
The "I-Beam" pointer tool is called the Smart Pointer, because it changes to an I-beam when it's over text, and to the Graphics Pointer tool when over a graphic, or part of a graphic, or when you press Ctrl. It's easy to select the main text frame when you Ctrl+click on its interior text area inadvertently, when you're trying to select an anchored frame edge, or when you use Ctrl+A to select all. It's frustrating to have some of these unintended events happen when you're not expecting them. Always work with View > Borders ON, to display the edges of objects and reduce confusion, and always watch where you click. You can zoom iin to large magnification to see things better.
HTH
Regards,
Peter
