Is there a way to programmatically press enter or yes to close a dialog box in an external application?

I am using Labview 8.0 and the Run Application and Close Application
VIs in the Winevent.llb.  This works fine except that when certain
external applications close they pop up a dialog box asking the user to
click "Yes", "Cancel" or  "OK".  How can I make Labview click
the "Yes" button in this case.  VB has a send keys command, but I
never really got that to work for this type of case.  Thanks.

Unfortunately my application was not Excel.  I did however solve the problem:
I Used the Show Window.vi from WINUTIL.llb to get focus on the
Application Window, then used the Delay function in LV 8.0 to wait 0.1
sec, then used the simulate_keyboard.vi to send a return. I lost the
link to it, but this is the improved? version
(http://forums.ni.com/attachments/ni/270/837/1/simulate_keyboard_modified.vi). 
Although the dialog box briefly appears and beeps it works good enough
for now.

  • IPhone4 16GB black with iOS 4.1.2 until it was disabled last July 4, 2014. Is there any way i can re-enter my passcode without restoring it.

    Someone tried to unlock my iPhone4 16GB black with iOS 4.1.2 until it was disabled last July 4, 2014. Is there any way i can re-enter my passcode without restoring it. I also could not connect it to my last sync NoteBook since it Memory Dumped an still cannot open it til now.
    Please help me, i have all the Legal Documents to prove that it is mine and i purchased it with Receipts.
    I hope there is a way to re-type my passcode.

    If you haven't already, restart the ipad by holding home and power for ten seconds until the apple appears.
    There may be an app that is draining the battery.
    Try the following:
    1) Kill all apps by double-tapping the home button, then holding any app's icon until it displays the ' - ' symbol. Touch the ' - ' symbol on all apps. This stops the app.
    2) Go to airplane mode to turn off wifi and 3G, if so equipped.
    3) recheck the battery life by using an offline-only app, like a game, for an hour or so and see if the battery seems to last longer than before.
    Typical battery life is a drain of 10% per hour. Your mileage may vary.
    If the battery is lasting longer, you need to isolate what is causing the drain.
    4) If still rapidly draining, try going to Settings, General, Reset, reset all settings.
    5) If none of this gave you any change in the battery life, you may want to do a restore of the ipad from within itunes.

  • Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created?

    Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created?  I have created an executable application that I want to distribute to Mac and Linux users (different applications were created in the respective OS).  I was wondering if there is any way to create an installer?  I think there probably isn't...  If the user were to simply download the Labview Run-time Engine from ni.com would they be able to run the application or is it more complicated than that?
    Thanks so much for your time.

    I think Shane tried to say, that it is on the Mac OS X installation DVD, NOT the LabVIEW for Mac OS X installation medium. And that could very well have changed in recent Mac OS X versions as well. They used to have Xcode on it too, but that seems gone as well.

  • Can't close levels dialog box by pressing ENTER key, how to fix?

    Using Windows 8.1.
    I could close the levels dialog box (CTR-L) by hitting ENTER key in CS6. Doesn't work like that in CC and I can't find a preference to change the behavior.
    Thanks in advance.

    You realise that Enter works on whatever is the active button?  That defaults to the OK button when you open Levels, and stays there if you just adjust the sliders, but will move to whatever button you click on i.e. Auto.   If you really want to use the keyboard, then hitting Shift Tab a couple of time will move you back from Auto to OK and you can then hit enter to close the dialog box.

  • Is there a way to programmatically tell what version of LabVIEW a VI is compiled in?

    Is there a way to tell programmatically what version of LabVIEW a VI is compiled in?
    LabVIEW seems to know.  If you click on "List Unsaved Changes", it (sometimes?) tells you the version of LabVIEW that the VI is already saved under (i.e., 8.0 instead of 8.0.1).  So if LabVIEW knows, maybe they've provided a way for us lower-echelon folks (i.e., customers) to know too, eh?
    Is there a way to get this from, say, VI Properties (i.e., Property Node gets passed a ref to a VI & I select the right property name)?  I couldn't find any property name that has "version" or anything like that, but maybe what I'm looking for is using terms that are so different than what I'm expecting that I just can't tell.
    Or by some other method?  (I gvimmed a few .vi files, and see some stuff that looks like I *could* get the version by parsing/searching the file itself, but parsing the binary might give pretty unreliable results.)

    Just dro a proerty node on the diagram and select property: "Application...Version number" and display the resulting string output.

  • Is there a way to programmatically save a Word 2013 document into a Word 2010 in compatibility mode?

    Hi,
    I have a Word 2013 document that I want to open in Word 2010.  The problem is this document has a repeating section content control and if I open it in Word 2010, the content control is removed so the data won't be seen.  Is there any way programmatically
    to save the document in Word 2010 compatible mode?  So that I can open in both Word 2013 and 2010.  By the way, I'm using C# and OpenXML for this.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Based on my tested, I created a "Rich Text" content control in Word 2013, and it'll works fine in Word 2010.
    As far as I know, in Word 2013, content controls provide three key improvements: improved visualization, support for XML Mapping for Rich Text content controls, and a new content control for repeating content.
    Please see the article "What's new with content controls in Word 2013" it may be helpful to you.
    If you have any further question about coding/programing, please post your question to MSDN forum.

  • Is there a way around having to enter password for each iOs app

    I'm getting back into experiment/deploy iOS apps from the App store using ZMM.
    Is there a way around the user having to enter the password for each app in the same session.
    I guess what I am saying is that once the apple password is entered for the first app when the user turns the ipad on, they seem to have to enter it for each app in quick succession eg 20 apps, then 20 passwords. Is there a setting or way around that? It seems kind of silly or is it that I'm dumb
    thanks

    There is not AFAIK, if you find one then please let us know But I do recal that if you enter the password the first time then cancel the rest of the popups they should get installed anyway but I'm not 100% sure, my memory may fail at times

  • Is there a way to just press ⌘ + S and have Pages save as .doc?

    For all of my college document, they have to be saved as a .doc so that they work with the college computers.
    Once I create a document in Pages, I save it and tick the box that says 'Save a copy as: Word Document' but then even after it has saved, the red dot to close the windows has the black dot in the centre to say it hasn't been saved.
    Is there a way to stop this happening and once I have saved a document as a .doc once, can it be set to do it for the whole thing?
    I hope this makes sense,
    Sam

    No, you can't use  Cmd + S for exporting a Pages document as a Word document. It is good that you save the Pages document in its native format first. If you tick a box after you have saved the document Pages thinks you have made a change and that is why you have the black dot again.
    You should be able to assign a hot key to Export > Word. Mind that you don't use any hot key already in use. May I suggest you use somthing like Option + Control + s. The Control key isn't used much for hot keys on a Mac.
    To do this follow the instructions here  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3957

    There should be a place to register in which you could enter your code. It may only ask you to register after the thirty days, I can't recall.

  • Is there a way to count the number of chars in a formatted text box?

    I have a formatted text box in my web dynpro for comments pertaining to workflow.
    in the backend, this is mapped to a char200 field.
    is there a way to have a running counter to let the user know how many chars are left? I'm not sure if there's an event to use for that.
    thanks,
    robert.

    Hello Robert,
    There is no way to get a running total of characters typed by the user - if you really need this functionality - consider creating an Adobe Flash Island.
    There was in the last year another thread which covered pretty much the same theme - it could be worth looking at that - although you will find that the eventual solution is the same as I suggest above.

  • Any way to apply "chapter markers" in uninterrupted playback (without popup dialog box) ?

    Long story short: I hate the default marker color of olive green, especially since my current project is shot in nature so they are essentially visually invisible when I look at the timeline with thumbnails on. So it'd be nice to use chapter markers (I've given them a hotkey) since they're vibrant red. But when I use the keystroke, the marker options popup dialog box appears. Is it possible to disable the popup?
    I use markers by adding them on the fly while watching all raw footage stringed together in a dedicated timeline (to quickly weed out select takes). This is a somewhat common technique amongst editors who learned from old "film" film editors (they did the same with workprints & a grease pencil). Currently I'm having to press "D" to select the current clip playing, and then press "M" (custom hotkey) to mark the take. It'd be nice to do so in a single button push… anyone know of such a way?
    Of course, just letting us change the marker colors would be nice too. Btw, I already did feature requests for these.
    This issue alone causes me to just do projects in FCP7 still. I'm trying to finally fully transition to Premiere Pro with this one, but this marker thing is killing me... Adobe peoples if you're reading this.

    Hi Ann, thanks for the suggestions. As with a lot of editors, having just the video head displayed occupies every clip's duration when looking at a long timeline. And dealing with the chapter marker popup is a huge speedbump when we're talking about literally dozens of markers.
    I posted my questions as a shot in the dark, assuming there was a 99.9% chance that there's no solution in Premiere, but I appreciate your info.

  • Is there a way to programmatically check the Row Selector for a row?

    Greetings,
    I have a report that has the Row Selector column. I am processing the rows that are checked by the user when they click a button, so I am already looping thru FOR ii IN 1 .. Apex_Application.g_f01.COUNT.
    I need some of the rows to always be processed in the loop, so I would like to:
    1. have certain rows checked automatically. Is that possible?
    2. using the same logic that automatically checks certain rows I would also like to insure they stay checked, or are process in the loop. (You know, I may automatically check certain rows, but the user may uncheck them.) So, even if the user doesn't check them, I would like to programmatically check them before the FOR ii IN 1 .. Apex_Application.g_f01.COUNT looping occurs.
    3. If it is possible to prevent the unchecking of a row that is automatically checked it would be awesome and would mean that requirement 2 is moot. If that's possible let me know. That would be sweet. :-)
    I hope that makes sense, and that you understand what I need to do. If not, let me know.
    Thanks in advance for your help, Tony

    Hi Shunt,
    That's a great help ! ! ! Thanks much ! ! ! :-)
    I did some additional research from what you told me, and I found out that the apex_item.checkbox is a page item and it is included in the SQL that builds a report. Your code got me on the right track. That's great. Also, it's great to know I can do what I need. My next question is 'How do I get there from here?' :-)
    I built my current report using the report builder, then used the trick to change it to a type of 'SQL Quey (updatable report)' just so I could click the setting to add the checkbox column, then I set the type back to 'SQL Query'. So, I don't have apex_item.checkbox in my SQL. I guess Apex (thru its magic) prepends it to the SQL somewhere along the way. What do I need to do now?
    Do I need to rebuild the report without using the above 'trick' and code the checkbox into my SQL myself? Or, can I just add it to the existing SQL? Or, with that cause 2 checkboxs to be on the report (mine and the one Apex generates)? That's one set of questions. :-)
    Also, whether the checkbox is checked (and disabled) is based on a value in the table the SQL is running over. Would it be possible to put a subselect, or something along those lines, in the main SQL (that has the checkbox item) that would programmatically check the checkbox?
    Sorry for my newbie questions, but I'm relatively new to Apex and PL/SQL, so there's still a lot I have to learn. All you need to do is point me in the general direction and I'll take it from there. I just want to know the right way to go about this before I start coding. :-)
    To give you and idea of what I'm doing now and want to do I have my simple SQL below:
    = = =
    select
    ecn_approval_master_id, mandatory, approval_type,
    htmldb_item.hidden(50,ecn_approval_master_id) idalias
    from
    ecn_approval_master
    where ecn_plant_master_id = :P0_PLANT
    order by mandatory DESC, approval_type
    = = =
    The 'mandatory' column contains 'Y' or 'N'. If it is 'Y' I want the checkbox to be checked and disabled. If it would help in the coding I could have the values of the mandatory column 'Y' and NULL. But, I'm not sure if it will help, because it looks like the checked rows are listed in parm 4. Then, when the htmldb_application.g.f10.count.... routine processes the selected they mandatory ones will automatically be processed. Course, you probably figured that out already.
    Thanks, Tony
