Ideas on how to use p:first-letter

Hi,
Any ideas on how to get the first letter in a paragraph
floating in the
text, to the left, so that the top of the letter lines up
with the top
of the first line, and the bottom of the letter lines up with
the bottom
of the third line?
For some reason I am not able to set the line-height of the
first-letter, so it starts in the wrong place.
Thanks!
Misha

Hmm does not look right on my firefox (mac 1.5). The drop cap
starts too
low (I think it is keeping the line-height or margin of the
paragraph). Looks worse in safari.
Odd that this is such a problem for good browsers. I think IE
gets it right.

How to Capitalize the first letter or an entire word using a shortcut on the keyboard just like in microsoft that uses shift+F3

please how can one How to Capitalize the first letter or an entire word using a shortcut on the keyboard just like in microsoft that uses shift+F3

What do you mean there was "no effect?" I'm not aware of any effects.
It looks like that Service is also in the App Store. From their screen shots, the services are prefaced with WordService:
You can see an example in the App Store for their app: App Store
After installing, you should now have those text services in your Services menu. You can then add shortcuts in the Keyboard System Prefs.
Most Apple apps have a Transformations menu in the Edit menu. You can Make upper, lower, and Initial caps with those. I would stick with Word Services, but you can make Application Shortcuts for the items in the Transformations menu.
Again, in Keyboard System Prefs, Under Applications, Click the Add button on the right side pane.
Set it for All Applications
Enter the menu command exactly as they appear in the Transformation menu (separate entries for each),
Make Upper Case
Make Lower Case
Capitalize
Give them a shortcut.

Create a customer code using the First letter of a customer name and the last 4 digits of a phone number

I am trying to create a form where one the customer has input their name and phone number it should grab the first letter of the customer's name and then the last 4 digits of the phone number.
I am not very good at coding, and have VERY VERY limited background in coding. I understand a little (the basics pretty much).
I am thinking i am not using the right expression to get what i want. Below is the statement I have write. This is just to find the first letter of the name, have an idea on how to get the phone number but i was trying the use the "left" and "right" functions but they wouldn't work. More specifically the left.
form1.#subform[0].CustCode::initialize - (JavaScript, client)
str = CustName;
var a = str.substr(0, 1);
any help would be greatly appreciated.
If more information is needed, please don't hesitate to ask.

If you switch your language to FormCalc you can use the Left and Right functions, e.g.
Concat(Left(Name,1) , Right(Phone,4))

How to Capitalize the first letter in a text field?

I have a text field of first_name and one of last_name. I want to make sure not matter what format the user inputs the the first letter is Capitalized and the rest is lower case. Can someone tell me how this is done? Thanks!

It depends on what you want to do with the name. If this is for inserting the name in a database and you're using PHP, it's very simple:
$name = 'DaVID';
$formatted = ucfirst(strtolower($name));
echo $formatted; // outputs 'David'
This nests two functions: the inner function, strtolower(), converts everything to lowercase, and the outer function, ucfirst(), converts the first letter to uppercase.

MAX(SummaryNum) +1 bad idea, but how to use sequence part composite column

Hi,
My relational mode is as follows
Policy (policynum PK) has 1:M with Summary (policynum FK, SummaryNum part of PK, other columns part of PK)
Basically for each policy users can enter notes with SummaryNum 1, 2, 3, 4.... These numbers are shown to the user for tracking purpose. I need to make sure summary notes for EACH policy start with 1 (cannot really use sequence in the table in the strictest sense) and are incremented by 1. The current Oracle form basically creates the next highest possible value of SummaryNum by adding one to the currently available highest value. In brief, it is like a sequence number for summaries of a particular policy in the summary table.
PRE-INSERT
SELECT MAX(SummaryNum ) + 1
FROM Summary
I am trying to replicate this in ADF BC (using 11g) and know that not using sequencing and adding one to get the next number is a very bad idea due to concurrency challenges (transactional ACID properties). The reasons are as follows.
•     Using MAX(policy_memo_seq_num) + 1 is not scalable,
•     It will lead to duplicates in a multi-user environment, whether ADF BC, Oracle Forms, or any other technology
I also know how to use create a sequence in db, a related trigger, and then set the attribute in EO properties as DBSequence. My challenge is that since SummaryNum is not a primary key, and instead is part of a composite key in my case, how do I make sure that summary notes for EACH policy start with 1 in the Summary Table.
I appears that i cannot really use sequence in the table in the strictest sense as this will mean that for policies the summaryNum will start from the next available sequence number, but what i really want is to have it start by one for all policies.*
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,

Not sure if there is a better way, but here is one way. Let's say your table was like this:
    SQL> desc versioned_item
     Name         Null?    Type
     ID           NOT NULL NUMBER
     VERSION      NOT NULL NUMBER
     DESCRIPTION           VARCHAR2(20)and lets say your data looked like this:
    SQL> select * from versioned_item order by id, version
            ID    VERSION DESCRIPTION
          1001          1 Item 1001
          1001          2 Item 1001
          1001          3 Item 1001
          1002          1 Item 1002
          1002          2 Item 1002
          1003          1 Item 1003To select only the rows for the max-version-id, you could do this:
    select id, version,description
    from versioned_item
    where (id,version) in (select id,max(version) from versioned_item group by id)
    order by id
            ID    VERSION DESCRIPTION
          1001          3 Item 1001
          1002          2 Item 1002
          1003          1 Item 1003To capture this as a view object, you'd only just need to paste in the WHERE clause above into the Where clause box of the view object. No need to use expert-mode since you're not changing the select list or from clause.

How to Capitalize the First Letter in Every Word in Mysql

Hi,
I have been trying to tidy up a massive database where visitors have been sloppy when entering text. The main thing I want to do is to Capitalize The First Letter In Every Word In Mysql.
I have found the code below in PHP but it keeps finding an error on the WHILE line:
<?php ini_set('display_errors', '1'); ?>
<?php require_once('Connections/maison_connection.php'); ?>
<?php
$result = mysql_query ("SELECT column, id FROM table");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $row["id"];
$column2 = ucwords($row["column"]);
$query2 = "UPDATE table SET column = '$column2′ WHERE id = '$id'";
mysql_query($query2);
?>
My table is called MailingList and the Column is called Name, so I have altered the script to this: but it still shows the same WHILE error:
<?php ini_set('display_errors', '1'); ?>
<?php require_once('Connections/maison_connection.php'); ?>
<?php
$result = mysql_query ("SELECT Name, id FROM MailingList");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $row["id"];
$Name2 = ucwords($row["Name"]);
$query2 = "UPDATE MailingList SET Name = '$Name2′ WHERE id = '$id'";
mysql_query($query2);
?>
Any ideas??

I got it to work this way in SQL: I am SURE there is an abbreviated way to do it, but at least it works
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," a"," A");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," b"," B");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," c"," C");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," d"," D");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," e"," E");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," f"," F");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," g"," G");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," h"," H");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," i"," I");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," j"," J");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," k"," K");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," l"," L");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," m"," M");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," n"," N");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," o"," O");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," p"," P");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," q"," Q");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," r"," R");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," s"," S");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," t"," T");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," u"," U");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," v"," V");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," w"," W");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," x"," X");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," y"," Y");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," z"," Z");

How do I capitalise first letter of sentence

Hi there. Just moved over to Mac and Pages, and love it, for the most part, except it doesn't capitalise the first letter of a sentence. for instance the "f" in "for" there does not come up automatically as "F" as it does in Word, and I believe in previous versions of Pages.
I'm in Version 5.1 (1769), and Mac os x 10.9.2.
Any ideas, folks?
Cheers, Matt.

If you never had Pages '09 before, no you will not have it. Only people who upgraded.
There is a huge difference between Pages 5 and Pages '09, the previous version.
Pages 5 is missing 100 features and is quite buggy. IMHO it is really an unanounced beta version.
Pages '09 is superior in almost every area, with only a few minor exceptions.
Even Pages 5's touted compatibility with iDevices is debatable and has the price of an unstable file format that is biting a few users in the bum.
You won't be able to miss features you never had but the biggest concern I have is over the complex, proprietary file format that is practically unrecoverable when things go wrong, as they seem to do. One that Apple regularly dumps. Pages 5 and 5.01 can't even open Pages 5.1 format files, and Pages 5 damages previous formats.

Idea about how-to using 'Agilent Wireless Test Manager' interfaces in Labview ?

Hello everyone,
I am not sure whether it is appropriate to post this here.
Currently I got a Wireless Test Manager CD(Agilent E6560A) and is trying to convert some functionalities inside class 'cdmaTXMeasTests' into labview.
I am doing the 'code domain power testing' module with labview, which is well done in that 'cdmaTXMeasTests'.
I am wondering if any one could provide me some idea how to use that 'cdmaTXMeasTests' in my labview without rebuild the wheel.
( I am not sure whether that would work, Are the libaries used by wireless test manager a ActiveXDLL that could be used by labview ? Or there is some other way to do it or not?)
Any idea is well appreciated,
+Kunsheng Chen

Good Afternoon Kunsheng Chen,
It seems like you are trying to port your DLL. Rather, I would suggest using a Call Library Function Node (right-click the Block Diagram, Functions>>Connectivity>>Libraries & Executables>>Call Library Function Node).
From the Agilent website, this is a C dll so you will be able to access it using this VI in LabVIEW with no problems. You might want to contact Agilent to see if this DLL has ActiveX components. Alternatively, you can simply browse the list of ActiveX components on your computer.
The following links may provide some useful information for using a DLL in LabVIEW.

How to get the first letter alone in Upper case?

Hi all,
Sorry if i am posting this one as a clone. I want the first letter alone in UPPER case in the given data. Is there any specific SQL function to do it or can we do it in REGEXP?
I have tried with this below one query.
select Upper(substr('oracle code',1,1))||substr('oracle code',2) from dual;
Oracle code
Is anything better than this in performance wise? If so please help me.
Thanks,
Ram

Hi,
what if the string is like this
SELECT INITCAP(substr('oracle code Error ', 1, instr('oracle code Error ', ' '))) ||
substr('oracle code Error', instr('oracle code Error ', ' '), length('oracle code error '))
FROM dual;

How to use the first row function value for the rest of records

Hi all,
I am having a select statement like this. We are calling function enabled for each row. So it is taking
time. As per our bussiness logic, we can use what the function 'enabled' will give for the first row to
other rows also. so that we can avoid calling the function 'enabled' next row onwars.
Before
SELECT
decode(enabled(col1, col2, col3),'TRUE','xxx', col4),
decode(enabled(col1, col2, col3),'TRUE','xxx', col5),
decode(enabled(col1, col2, col3),'TRUE','xxx', col6),
decode(enabled(col1, col2, col3),'TRUE','xxx', col7),
decode(enabled(col1, col2, col3),'TRUE','xxx', col8),
from
table1 t1, table2 t2 where t1.col1 = t2.col1
After
SELECT
decode(enabled(col1, col2, col3),'TRUE','xxx', col4),
decode('true/false','TRUE','xxx', col5), --Here 'true/false' is the first row value after calling the function 'enabled'
decode('true/false','TRUE','xxx', col6),
decode('true/false','TRUE','xxx', col7),
decode('true/false','TRUE','xxx', col8),
from
table1 t1, table2 t2 where t1.col1 = t2.col1
Any thoughts on this, how to implement this logic
Thanks,
Pal

It's not clear where col1, col2, col3... etc. come from, so I've assumed they're in table1.
with table1_X as (select enabled(col1, col2, col3) as enbl
                        ,col1, col2, col3, col4, col5, col6, col7, col8
                  from   table1)
SELECT decode(t1.enbl,'TRUE','xxx', col4)
      ,decode(t1.enbl,'TRUE','xxx', col5)
      ,decode(t1.enbl,'TRUE','xxx', col6),
      ,decode(t1.enbl,'TRUE','xxx', col7),
      ,decode(t1.enbl,'TRUE','xxx', col8),
from   table1_x t1 join table2 t2 on (t1.col1 = t2.col1)p.s. you'd be better leaving out the enabled function altogether and incorporating the logic of the function directly in the SQL, and then you would be avoiding any context switching which will clearly impact performance on any large amount of data.

Any ideas on how to use the IMAQ interpolate 1D vi

I find the Help on this function to be very little. It doesn't say much about typical usage, best practise or examples.
I'm looking for a function where I can pass in an image and a set of coordinates (sub-pixel coordinates) and it would return the interpolated pixel value. I thought this vi would perform this function, but I see it only takes in integer coordinates, so where does the 'sub-pixel' claims come from? If the coordinates are not in a straight line, how does it do the interpolation in 2D? Does the interpolation method specified refer to the path interpolated between the coordinates or the method for interpolating the grey level of the pixel?
Any help would be appreciated.
PS my comment about the Help not being very helpful applies to many other vi's too. We definately need more meat in the help (use Matlab's help as an example).

Hello,
The pixel interpolation function will compute the approximte value of the midpoint pixel of each pair of coordinates you pass to the function. The interpolation type specifies how this pixel value is calculated. There is a little more information on interpolation types used by this function in the LabWindows Vision Concepts manual :
IMAQ_BILINEAR
1
The function uses an interpolation method that interpolates new pixel values using a bidirectional average of the neighboring pixels.
IMAQ_QUADRATIC
2
The function uses an interpolation method that interpolates new pixel values using a quadratic approximating polynomial.
IMAQ_CUBIC_SPLINE
3
The function uses an interpolation method that interpolates new pixel values by fitting them to a cubic spline curve, where the curve is based on known pixel values from the image.
The subpixel accuracy determines how many subpixels to divide the original pixel value into.
When you say the interpolated value between two pixels, do you mean between two adjacent pixels?
