Instantiate Shell32.Shell object in Windows 8

Hi,
I want to instantiate the Shell32.Shell object in Windows 8. I have created a small console project in VS 2012, added reference to Microsoft Shell Controls and Automation. When running the following code
namespace Shell32Test
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
object shell = new Shell32.Shell();
The invalid cast exception occurs.
Details of the exception:
System.InvalidCastException was unhandled
HResult=-2147467262
Message=Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'Shell32.Shell'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{286E6F1B-7113-4355-9562-96B7E9D64C54}' failed due
to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).
Source=Shell32Test
StackTrace:
       at Shell32Test.Program.Main(String[] args) in c:\Users\christ.ADLIB\Documents\Visual Studio 11\Projects\Shell32Test\Shell32Test\Program.cs:line 8

       at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state)
       at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart()
InnerException:
Any ideas how to solve this issue?
Thanks,
C.

The solution that worked for me is as following:
public Shell32.Folder GetShell32NameSpaceFolder(Object folder)
Type shellAppType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Shell.Application");
Object shell = Activator.CreateInstance(shellAppType);
return (Shell32.Folder)shellAppType.InvokeMember("NameSpace",
System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, shell, new object[] { folder });
I'm developing in Windows 8 and the program is run in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.

File Server Resource Manager will not load WMI Objects on Windows 8.0/8.1 Preview with Hyper-V and Server Tools Loaded

Hi Folks,
I have a problem getting "File Server Resource Manager" to start properly because WMI objects are not loading??? I don't understand this at all because I am able to access them with other Apps, etc. I have been over my Services list as well but
have not yet discovered which Service turns on/off "File Server Resource Manager". I have looked in Windows\System32\ and I can not find SrmSvc. I found other Srm's there though. I also found the FSRM Snapin which generates the Figure below but I
can not find it in the WMI Browser. I believe the Firewall is OKAY since I have been over that thoroughly. I do have the Server Tools Installed for Windows 8.0 or Windows 8.1 Clients as well as the Windows Updates applied, which is where I got "File Server
Resource Manager" in the first place. I have had WMI and Powershell 3.0 Package, installed since Windows 7 but I run a repair on them anyway.
I have read through "File Server Resource Manager could not load WMI objects on Windows Server 2012
Article ID: 2831687" but since I don't seem to have SrmSvc the solution doesn't help me. I haven't been able to find a similar one for the Windows Client.
If there is anything you could share on this problem I would be much obliged.
Thanks again,
Crysta

Instantiate a ABAP Object Dynamically

I would like to get some guidance on Dynamically instantiating objects within ABAP.
I have worked with Java. Within Java I am able to instantiate a Java object through the use Class.forName (see example below):
className = "com.vz.it.cleansheet.eFine.db.query.WBRDMTWKCNDATABEAN";
try {
     singleton = (Object) Class.forName(classname).newInstance();
     } catch (ClassNotFoundException cnf) {
               System.out.println("SingletonRegistry - Couldn't find class "}
Is there a similar procedure in ABAP OO to enable dynamically instantiating a ABAP object?
I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Rick

You can instantiate an object dynamically, here is a sample program. Notice that we are creating an object passed on what class is named in the selection screen.
report zrich_0001.
*       CLASS lcl_car DEFINITION
class lcl_car definition.
public section.
    data: car type string.
endclass.
*       CLASS lcl_car IMPLEMENTATION
class lcl_car implementation.
endclass.
*       CLASS lcl_truck DEFINITION
class lcl_truck definition.
public section.
    data: truck type string.
endclass.
*       CLASS lcl_truck IMPLEMENTATION
class lcl_truck implementation.
endclass.
data: r type ref to object.
parameters: p_class(20) type c default 'LCL_TRUCK'.
start-of-selection.
create object r type (p_class).
check sy-subrc = 0.

Instantiate com.waveset.object.Type into Type[]

I am trying to instantiate com.waveset.object.Type into Type[]. I am trying execute method exportObjects(Type[] types, java.lang.String filename, BulkMonitor monitor). I can write it in java doing something like _wsSess.exportObjects(new Type[]{Type.findType(type)}, out, null); but having trouble doing in xpress or javascript. Please help. Thanks.

Hi,
To get all the types, you can use:
<invoke name='getTypes' class='com.waveset.object.Type'/>
to get specific ones:
<block>
<set name='typeList'>
<list>
<invoke name='getType' class='com.waveset.object.Type'>
<s>Resource</s>
</invoke>
<invoke name='getType' class='com.waveset.object.Type'>
<s>User</s>
</invoke>
</list>
</set>
<invoke name='toArray'>
<ref>typeList</ref>
</invoke>
</block>
hope this helps

Fit object in window?

Does Illustrator for CS5.5 offer the oportunity to fit the object which is active in window? --or are the fit in window options limited to "All" or "Page"?
I find that when I'm working on an object that I must move in close to finesse a curve and then, ideally, would like to fit thet obect that I'm working on in the window to see if my tweaks are satisfactory.
At present I must. A zoom in to the points and/or curve I wish to adjust then B "fit page in window" then C zoom in again to the object I'm rendering then D center the object on screen. Seems like a lot of uncessary steps --particularly when I must repeat over and over during the rendering process.
Back in the day, Freehand solved this problem most elegantly with a "Fit Object In Window" command. The selected object would fill the screen --dead center everytime, no fuss.
Am I being nostalgic for a funcntion which Adobe doesn't value or have I overlooked the command in the menu somewhere?
Your assitance is greatly appreciated!

I see. Thank you Kurt.
Well it took Adobe a couple of deccades to realize that some of it's Illustrator users might want multi-paged documents. Perhaps in the coming deccades they'll get around to this otherwise very common command.
I'll go in search of those scripts and see how they work out.

Drive letters are user specific. When you run jboss it runs as you, with your shared drives. When you run it as a service, it runs as guest or another user so your drive letters are meaningless.
Either setup the user or use UNC

How to instantiate a java object (using JNI)?(n'more)

hey bschauwe, thanks for your last post, you were guessing but your 4th guess was right on the money of how id like to do it.
"4. An alternative way to return data to java from C is to instantiate a java object (using JNI), then use JNI to call that object's setters, then return the object at the end of the C routine."
I know now how to get the object's setters, I am just unsure how to instantiate a java object from the native C code using JNI. Also you said to returnt he object at the end of the c routine, that is just a good ol' return statement right? no other functions to release memory or anything are needed? So basically it would be something like:
JNIEXPORT jobject retObj JNICALL Java_AbfaRegion_getJSourceData
(JNIEnv *env, jobject thisObj)
        //instantiate the java object on retObj????
        //call setters with values from the c structures...
        //return retObj??? no other memory releasing needed?
}Thanks again for all your help,
Shane

K sounds straight forward enough, the index in my book had nothing on <init> and I wasnt aware of the NewObject call. So my final (well for demonstration purposes) code should look something like:
JNIEXPORT jobject retObj JNICALL Java_AbfaRegion_getJSourceData
(JNIEnv *env, jobject thisObj)
     jclass clazz;
     jclass clazzTemp;
     jmethodID mid;
     jint val;
     jobject tempObj;
        //first instanciate the object
     clazz = (*env)->GetObjectClass(env, retObj);
     mid = (*env)->GetMethodID(env, clazz, "<init>", "()V");
        //Get Object
     tempObj = (*env)->NewObject(env, clazz, mid);
        //get Class reference to instantiated class
     clazzTemp = (*env)->GetObjectClass(env, tempObj);
        //Start calling setters to set the object up.
     mid = (*env)->GetMethodID(env, clazzTemp, "SetHeight", "(I)V");
     (*env)->CallVoidMethod(env,tempObj, mid, struct->myHeight);
        //set more members ...
        //return the object back to java with its members filled out.
        //before returning do I need to call (*env)->DeleteLocalRef(tempObj); ??
        return tempObj;
}So is this how i do it for a function that is nativly defined as:
public native JSources getJSourceData();?
if this is right, then im cooking, and cannot thank you enough!

Pass commands to UNIX shell opened in Windows XP OS

I am currently running Labview 7.1 on a Windows XP box. I use Exceed to open a UNIX shell to do work in UNIX from my windows machine. I can open the UNIX shell with the sys exec vi but how do I pass commands to the UNIX shell I opened?

Also make sure you have

Note: The LabVIEW 8.0.1 and 8.2.1 run-time engines can co-exist
together with the LabVIEW 8.5 (and newer) run-time engine. You still
need to install the run-time engine's listed below to use VIPM, even if
you have a newer version of LabVIEW installed.
VIPM 1.1 and 2.0
VIPM 1.1 and 2.0 require the LabVIEW 8.2.1 run-time engine installed on your machine.
See also:Where do I get the LabVIEW 8.2.1 Run-Time Engine?
VIPM 1.0
VIPM 1.0 requires the LabVIEW 8.0.1 run-time engine installed on your machine.

Smercurio is right, and their is no OpenG package for the newer VIs so you will actually want to get them directly from CVS.

Getting the document object cross-window

Hello,
I've been working on this application in which I have 2 windows.
Now the main window needs to make a call to the sub window sending a single function.
I have the following code to create the window:
var options = new air.NativeWindowInitOptions();
options.systemChrome = "none";
options.type = "lightweight";
options.resizable = true;
options.maximizable = true;
var winwid = 600;
var winhei = 500;
var mainWidowPos = new Array();
var mainWindowPos = getTopLeft(winwid,winhei); //This function is to calculate the center of the screen
var windowBounds = new air.Rectangle(mainWindowPos[0],mainWindowPos[1],winwid,winhei);
newHTMLLoader = air.HTMLLoader.createRootWindow(true, options, true, windowBounds);
newHTMLLoader.load(new air.URLRequest(url));
Now that that window is created I need to make a call from window 1 to window 2 (the newly created one, the title of the window is SCR2_BILL).
Maybe this table can clear it up:
Window 1 (main)
Window 2 (created by code)
This code is in window 1 and is being called:
for (var i = 0; i < air.NativeApplication.nativeApplication.openedWindows.length; i++) {
     if(air.NativeApplication.nativeApplication.openedWindows[i].title == "SCR2_BILL") {
          air.NativeApplication.nativeApplication.openedWindows[i].window.htmlLoader.stage.nativeWindow.hideBill();
function hideBill() {
     document.getElementById('bill').style.display = 'none';
The link does not exist because air.NativeApplication.nativeApplication.openedWindows[i].window.htmlLoader.stage.nativeWin dow is not an object. Does anyone know what the object is after openedWindows[i] which I can use to call functions from the document?
Thanks in advance,
Roelof
PS: the code window 2 is executing is working, it has been tested.

Hi Scott,
Use ProcessMonitor from Microsoft and look in the logs to see if there are any Access Denied errors. Also look in the IIS logs and Event viewer to see if anything there is being logged.
Anti-virus software logs is another place to look....
Pop up blocker in the Browser maybe or possibly adding the new server name to the trusted list.... Domain permissions possibly...
If you browse the App from the Server does that work?

How to use session object in windows application

hi, I am programming in jdeveloper. i need to know that while i m making a web application i can use a session object for the particular session. now i m builiding a windows application for my final semester and i need to insert product id and then it should go to another frame and there it can store multiple information for a particular product id.
e.g
product id : 001
next frame.
filter name.
filter position.
when these are added then it should be able to add more filters for the same product id and i dont understand how to do that.
Please let me know as i am lost and dont know how to proceed further. if some body wants to have a look on the codes he is most welcome.
Waiting for an answer
thank you

Hi,
in Swing applications you don't have a session object to store data. You can use a helper class though to act as a temporary memory. Just create a static class that has a hashtable method to add / read / remove data

Running a shell command in windows

Hi All,
I am facing trouble trying to run the unix command in windows. I know that Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command) has to be used for this purpose. I have a slightly different requirement , i.e it is not simply executing the command.
Before I execute a command say " export $KEY_SETTINGS " I need to invoke the mks shell and then execute a shell (which sets few variables).
So the code which is written (not working though :( ) is
osCommand = "export $KEY_SETTINGS "
pathMKS = "C:\\temp1\\mksnt\\mksnt\\sh.exe";
pathENV = "C:\\\\temp1\\\\temp2\\\\Environ.sh";
command[0] = "cmd";
command[1] = "/c";
command[2] = pathMKS + " -c " + "\". " + pathENV + " ; " + osCommand + "\"";
report.println("Comanda="+ command[0] + ' ' + command[1] + ' ' + command[2]);
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);
bufferedreader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
bufferedreaderErr = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getErrorStream()));
for(int i = 0; (s = bufferedreader.readLine()) != null && i < 1; i++) {
commandOut = commandOut + s + "\n";
report.println("Print env:" + s);
while((s = bufferedreaderErr.readLine()) != null) {
commandErr = commandErr + s + "\n";
if (!commandErr.equals("")) {
throw new RuntimeException("Error running command: " + command[2] + "\n. Error: " + commandErr);
The error I am getting is
"Error running command: C:\oracle\mksnt\mksnt\sh.exe -c ". C:\\oracle\\appl\\Apps.sh ; export $KEY_SETTINGS "
Error: Export: not found.
Please help me out in this.
Best Regards

Dispose objects during window closing

I use vb to call java application through batch file (.bat) to connect to another java app to send message. Since the java application is executing in command prompt window, if the window accidentally closed, is it possible to close the connection, terminate loop, dispose objects properly during window closing? most importantly, the program at the other side knows the the connection is closed and message stop sending by the java app? Any suggestion?
Thanks.

Does your app have a fixed main window from where you launch other windows? If so, don't call System.exit(0) in windowClosing event for any of those windows except the main window and it would solve your problem.
Otherwise you would need to somehow keep track of all the open windows in your application and in the windowClosing method you would check to see how many windows are open currently. If the window being closed is the only window open at that time, call System.exit(0). Else don't call it.
Hope this helps.

Problem calling COM Object on Windows Server 2008 x64

Hi,
We are using 32 bits COM object called in Coldfusion page on 32 bits OS. It works fine since few years.
Now we need to use it on x64 Windows Server 2008 and 64bits IIS.
As I 've seen (http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/forums/messages.cfm?threadid=87869C67-B1 9B-288F-F32B6E8BAB3228CA ),a 64 bits process can only call 64 bits DLL.
So we created a 64 bits Wrapper like this : http://www.dnjonline.com/article.aspx?id=jun07_access3264
But calling 64 bits COM Object still raises the same error (" The cause of this exception was that: java.lang.RuntimeException: Can not use native code: Initialisation failed") whereas it works fine with a 64 bits executable created in .NET for example.
Is there a known issue about this subject?
Sorry for english , I'm a french developper.
Thanks in advance.

Can somebody please share the solution for this issue?
I am facing similar issue with Windows 2012 R2 x64 OS and Excel 2007(32-bit) combination.
I tried couple of things like Excel is able to Open an existing workbook on my system but fails to
create a new Workbook as done by invoking the "Add" command. It fails with Error 800a03ec.
I tried creating the two folders i.e. C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop & C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop, but could not get it working.
