Is there a way to hide and unhide specific files programmatically using Labview?

I writing an application that produces 3 binary data files and I want the user to only see 1 of the 3 files.
I'm using Labview 6.1 and windows 2000.

You can use System Exec.vi to call attrib.exe. Atrrib.exe is a command prompt program (left over from the DOS days) which can be used to read or set file attributes (including hidden).
A sample command line passed to System Exec.vi follows.
attrib +h "C:\My Documents\My File.bin"
The quotes around the file name are required if the path or file name doesn't follow the old DOS 8.3 format.
To hide a file, use the +h option. To unhide a file, use -h.
The limitation of using this approach is that the Windows Explorer can be set to display hidden files. You might want to put the hidden files in another directory.

Is there a way to hide and show the whole 3D viewer with javascript?

I'm trying to set up a pdf so that the person who's reading it can use a button to switch between a picture of the product and a 3D model of the same. The idea is that the two ways of illustrating the product can be in the same space, so that there's still room to put enough text on the front page. I have spent about three hours trying to figure this out.
Even if I hide the model withtin the 3D viewer and make the background transparent, the 3D viewer is still there, intercepting mouse clicks and showing the toolbar.
I've tried modfiying the Annot3D, by moving it off the page, because the javascript reference says that the "rect" property of Annot3D can be written, but the viewer just stays in the same location.
Is there any way to get the whole thing to go away with one button click and come back with another?
Thank you for your help and patience,
Daniel,
PS - In the past I've placed product drawings and pictures in the same place by putting them on separate layers, but I can't figure out how to get the 3D display attached to a layer.

One way you could get the same effect is to use separate pages. Disable the mouse scroll for switching pages and instead use buttons to go from one page to the other. The user will get the impression that the annotation has appeared and disappeared.
Another hack is to use the product information as the icon on the annotation, so just disable it when you want to show the product information and make sure it lines up with an overlay of surrounding product information.

Is there a way to Update and SaveAs, an XFA form using VBA or similar ?

All:
Need help to auto-fill and auto-save PDFs using VBA or some other means.
I have created an XFA form using LiveCycle ES ( v8 ) with a few fields.
What I need to do is repeat these steps below for 200+ PDF forms
Open the blank PDF form
Update 3 fields
Save the PDF with a new name
My Excel VBA code so far ( ** Copied from another post ) where dFile = "C:\temp.pdf" and dAccount = "Any Account"
Sub rxOpenPDF_UpdateFields(dFile, dAccount )
    Dim pdfApp As Acrobat.AcroApp, pdfPDDoc As Acrobat.AcroPDDoc, jso As Object
    Dim str1$, bolOpen As Boolean, strFile$
    Set pdfApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
    Set pdfPDDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    bolOpen = pdfPDDoc.Open(dFile)
    Set jso = pdfPDDoc.GetJSObject
    str1 = jso.getfield("Account_Name").Value ' Will appreciate if there is a way to set a field value
    pdfApp.Exit
    Set pdfApp = Nothing
    Set pdfPDDoc = nothing
    Set jso = Nothing
End Sub
Excel VBA is shutting down ( cannot recover ) when it runs the pdfPDDoc.Open statement
Any help will be very appreciated

I am on Windows XP,
In VBA, I have created Tool References to [Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Type Library]
Downloaded the Acrobat v9 SDK but am lost trying to locate any help for simple VBA.

lrosenth,
Would I be able to Update & SaveAs with a newer version of LiveCycle ( does Adobe still have a LiveCycle line ) ?
I was looking at InDesign but am not sure if it has the functionality that I need ( i.e. create multiple forms from an Excel list)
.. also am unsure of the learning curve.

Is there a way to copy and paste a glossary, for use in a text that would be separately published by unit?

I just submitted my first textbook, and it only covers the first quarter of my course. I'm planning on submitting the others as I finish them. One problem that I think I will encounter, is that if I create each quarter as a separate iBooks publication, I won't have the continuity of the glossary throughout each publication. Another option is to simply add to the first quarter publication, using the same iBooks Author file, and publish the text as the 1st and 2nd quarters, then the 1st through 3rd quarters, then the 1st through 4th quarters, removing the earlier versions as I publish a newer version. (Why not just finish it, and publish it once? Because I'm currently teaching the course, and I want to make the material available as soon as possible--also, it's a course on computer programming, which is a subject that rapidly changes.) I've seen other iBook publications by the unit, and that has inspired me to consider publishing my text in four smaller installments, one for each quarter of a year-long, 2 semester course. But that brings me back to the problem of having one continuous glossary that would function in all four publications.
Any and all ideas are welcome! Thanks!

You're right, but I'm a little under the gun with my employer to get something out there, asap, and I unfortunately have a full time job that doesn't allow me to commit a block of time to finish the text in one shot.

Is there a way to hide apps from the app store? I don't want my kids to see those "free" apps that nag you to spend real money and download their other apps! I can hide them from "purchased apps", but they still show up when browsing for new apps!

Is there a way to hide them so that my kids will never see them when looking for new apps?

Not other than parental oversight. On the computer you can implement Parental Controls on a separate user account that they would use. You can then block certain websites. But you cannot do that on the iPad.
You could change your iTunes account such that they cannot access it in order to buy or download apps.

Is there any way to hide the menu bar?

I've been trying to find out if there's a way to hide the menu bar unless the mouse pointer is pushed up to the upper edge of the screen, I know there are third-party applications that let you do this (Menufela which uses Application Enhancer that I prefer to avoid as it is causes more problems than it solves as far as I'm concerned), I also know that it's possible to write applications that cause the menu bar to exhibit this behaviour while they're focused.
But what I'm looking for is a way to make it behave this way all the time without installing Application Enhancer and having to deal with all the headaches that come with it.

serioustrouble wrote:
It does seem odd that you can't get the menu bar to hide itself though, I seem to recall something about editing certain files in .app directories to make it hide itself on an app-by-app basis.
To hide the menu bar for a single application, you need to modify the Info.plist, as described -> here <-.
This will work on nearly every application. Only on a very few applications it will cause incorrect behaviour, mainly Finder.app.
So a simple way to realise your wishes, is to create an Applescript, that will "hide and unhide" the menubar for a couple of apps at one time.
Here a demonstration example: Choose one or more apps. Menu bar will be hidden/unhidden:
<pre style="
font-family: 'Courier New', Courier;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 1;
border: 2px solid #1E90FF;
width: 700px; height: 200px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #F5FFFA;
overflow: auto;">
on run
set xyz to choose file default location (path to "apps" as alias) with multiple selections allowed without invisibles
repeat with i in xyz
set appName to name of (get info for i)
if appName ends with ".app" then set proName to text 1 thru -5 of appName
tell application "Finder"
try
if exists (process proName) then
set x to display dialog "Is " & "\"" & proName & "\"" & " still running? If so, please quit it now!" buttons {"Cancel", "Quit it!", "No! Not running!"} default button 2 with icon 0
end if
end try
end tell
try
if button returned of x is "Quit it!" then
tell application appName
quit
end tell
end if
end try
try
((i as Unicode text) & "Contents:Info.plist") as alias
set infoPlist to quoted form of POSIX path of ((i as Unicode text) & "Contents:Info")
try
do shell script "defaults read " & infoPlist & " LSUIPresentationMode"
do shell script "defaults delete " & infoPlist & " LSUIPresentationMode"
on error
do shell script "defaults write " & infoPlist & " LSUIPresentationMode -int 4"
end try
end try
end repeat

Is there any way to hide unread count on Mail for junk or trash folders?

I have a ton of junk messages and messages in my trash folder, and I really don't care to see the unread count (I know, I'm being picky.) I can't find a way to hide the unread count for these folders and it's annoying to right click and select "mark all as read". Is there any way to hide the count automatically, or a filter I can set up? I know that you can adjust what unread count shows up on the dock, but I'm talking about the Mail program itself. Ideas? Thanks in advance, y'all!

This is the action that I'm talking about. I set certain Gmail folders to be used for these 4 options. I would like to release those folders from their respective duties.

Is there a way to hide some reports based on the selected values in prompt.

Hi Experts,
Is there a way to hide some reports based on the selected values in prompt.
For ex. if a year is selected in the prompt then the report should display year wise report.
If a year and half year both are selected in the drop down from prompt section then 2 reports should come.. One for year wise and another for half year wise.Kindly look into this.
Regards
Ashish

Hi,
Use presentation values in prompts for year,half,qtr and month.Example- For year-y is presentation variable in the same way for halfyear-h,qtr-q and month-m.
create four intermediate reports.Example-Report r1 with only year column,r2 with only halfyear column,r3 with qtr column and r4 with month column.
Make column in each report(r1,r2,r3,r4) is equal to their presentation variables(y,h,q,m).
Use four sections.
Section1-Place report that should come when only year.
section2-Place report that should come for year and halfyear.
Section3-Place report that should come for year,halfyear and qtr.
Section4-Place report that should come for year,halfyear,qtr and month.
Apply guided navigation for each section selecting guided navigation-
For section1-
properties->Guided navigation->check this Reference Source Request(Yes)->select report r1(year)->check this Show Section(if request returns row)
In the same way do for remaining section2(select r2),section3(select r3) and section4(select r4)
Thanks,

Is there a way to hide the SSID?

On my old Linksys router I could choose to not broadcast the SSID as a form of added security (a hacker won't hack what he doesn't know exists). Instead of it showing up in the list of available networks, you had to type it in manually.
It finally broke and I bought an AirPort Extreme which I just set up a few minutes ago. Created a new network, new password, etc. But there doesn't seem to be an option to not broadcast the SSID that I could see.
Is there any way to hide the SSID from people looking for available networks?

yes.
launch *airport utility* and enter +manual setup+ for your device. go to the wireless tab and click on +wireless options+. find the check box for +create a closed network+ and update the AEBS.
edit: don't be fooled, though. clients connected to a hidden (closed) network still broadcast the SSID openly. there are a number of freely available tools out there that can pick up a hidden network in a snap.

Is there any way to hide our source code in browser

in web browser by using the
view -----> source
one can see the source of that page..
is there any way to hide it.

Encryption/decryption solutions are only useful if you want to "hide" the source from point to point and it is meaningless if you want to hide source from the client (the other point).
The question of interest is here: why do you want to hide the source from the client?
If it is really an important requirement, consider an applet or a standalone application instead of webapplications. Although it is harder to do, but those can still be reverse engineered.

Is there a way to hide buddy icon/picture in messages? [In the left section that lists all chats]

Is there a way to hide buddy avatars/pictures from Messages? I don't mean in a the chat window, but in the left section that lists all active conversations. I don't really use pictures with contacts, so all I see are gray faces.
Using Messages 8.0 on Mavericks.

Hi,
The answer is No.
Whilst the App can also use Buddy list (See Window Menu) for accounts which use AIM, Jabber or Yahoo an important part of these is the Buddy Pic.
By default Messages in the iMessages account will send the My Card pic from the Contacts app for yourself.
(if you have Buddy Lists and change the pic for them, then it will send that pic)
Also if you drag the side bar in the Chat (main Messages window) to it's smallest setting (move the divider to the left) you are left with just the Sender's pic (or lack of it) in square spot that has no version of the last iMessages sent.

What are the mysterious keys for hide and unhide programs?

There is a strange symbol next to the apple symbol that is part of the hide and unhide short cut keys.
I cannot find what these are after searching help, studying the keys and asking several people.
This must be so obvious it escapes me!
I have the new photoshop elements and it doesn't have the minimize buttons so I need to hide it.
Help!

AH! Yes. I guess I never made the connection before because I never use Command-H. I've had a multi-button mouse since the Stone Age, and have always had one button assigned to Option-click, so have always hidden apps by a middle button click on the Desktop. Also I almost never use Command-H to hide selections in Photoshop because I tend to forget I did that and then get frustrated when something like the clone tool doesn't work because I'm cloning outside the selected area.
After reading the blog entry you sent I started experimenting to see which "normal" conventions Elements wasn't following, and, since hiding and unhiding was the topic at hand.... BTW, thanks for the link to the blog. I had never really thought about many of those idiosyncrasies before, like fly-out menus for instance.

Is there a way to hide an iMessage conversation without deleting it?

Is there a way to hide an iMessage conversation without deleting it?
I recently went through a breakup and would like to not see my ex's face and messages every time I pull iMessage up, but I also don't want to delete them. I have the most up to date versions of iMessage on my Macbook Pro and iPhone 5C as of this post (10-5-14)

Hi,
iMessages account on the Mac (in the Messages app) stores the iMessages in a Chat.db item
IF you dismiss a conversation from view (mouse over it and use the x that appears) the chat.db will supply the "History" if and when you contact that person again.
However it is worthwhile also creating a back up of some sort.
As well as Time Machine it can also help to highlight the whole Chat (work from the most recent end to the "top" of the conversation to highlight it all.
You can then Print and Save as PDF.
You can back up your iPhone in iTunes.
These can be used to Restore the iPhone back to that time. (you do lose all new things added since the Backup was made.)
There are various tools out there to extract info from iTunes Backups of iOS devices, which might help.
Of course the Messages app on the Mac also has a Settings for Saving on close. (it will Save if you dismiss the chat/Conversation and when the app is closed/Quit)
Over and extended conversation or chat that lasts days or months each Session on the computer is Saved.
Again you can dismiss the chat/conversation form view as you have saved versions (in parts) of the conversation.
(You cannot Save a chat or conversation in Retrospect.)

I have inserted a query into a workbook. But I don't want the column header to be shown. Is there any way to hide the column header? Thanks.

Hi,
If you want to do any custom formatting to the workbook and you do not want it to reset when you refresh the workbook,
You will have to You can deactivate the function for adjusting the formatting (Adjust Formatting after Refreshing) in the Display Options of the Query Properties.
When you do this, you can have your own formatting for the workbook and it will not be affected when you refresh the workbook.
