Filename lengths are limited to 31 characters?

Why are filename lengths still limited to 31 characters?
Why do the dialogs look like ports from the PC world?
Is Logic Express itself a port from the PC world?
Although Logic Express has its own slickness, Vision from OpCode Systems, was, considering when it was written, so much better, at least when working with MIDI. Adherance to Mac conventions was so good that it was an easy program to learn in spite of its complexity. Logic Express is proving to be difficult for me to learn with its quirky ways of doing things.

"it's pretty difficult to put together something as complex as a modern, fully-featured DAW without making some concessions"
"I'm sure it's a big-*** codebase, and probably not the easiest to patch for things that seem, from our perspective, to be simple."
Actually I am aware of the difficulties in creating complex software. I was a software engineer from 1959 to 1993. (Yes, there were computers in 1959.) I'm always amazed -- not to mention pleased -- when a complex interaction among input, display, output, real-time constraints, on-the-fly editing, etc works without a hiccup. The modern, metaphorical graphical interface belies the complexity underneath. It's reminiscent of the unbelievable complexity which lies just under our own visual interface aka skin.
I just wish that Apple had started with Opcode System's VISION product. Way back in OS 8, for example, one could have a display of a playing song and pull down a menu without interrupting either the display or the playing. With Logic the playing continues but the graphic display pauses. I know that this is not terribly relevant to anyone in the music business, but it would seem to reveal an old architecture forcibly fit to the new environment, and then I wonder about the things that I can't see.
Well, I probably worry too much, because Logic Express has yet to crash or corrupt any of its files. And of course my whole music studio is, except for the MIDI keyboard, on my hard disk instead of the racks of equipment I used to have.

Display tree node data in bold characters

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to display tree nodes data in bold characters. If I click on a particular tree node, next time it should appear in normal font only which means that some task had done using that tree node. Is my question clear??
Plz help me....
thanks,
ravindra.

Hi Ravindra,
I think it is possible, i have not done it but let me explain how we can do it.
In <htmlb:treeNode> tag there is an attribute 'text' in
which we specify title of that treeNode.
Now you define a page attribute 'treeNodeTitle' type
edpline and in onCreate assign it value <html><b>MyTreeNode</b></html>
When you click on this node then you do event handling
in onInputProcessing, there assign only 'MyTreeNode' to
treeNodeTitle.
sample code may look like this...
<htmlb:treeNode
id = 'treeNode1'
text = '<%=treeNodeTitle %>' >
</htmlb:treeNode>
Page Attribute
treeNodeTitle type edpline
in onCreate
treeNodeTitle = '<html><b>MyTreeNode</b></html>'
in onInputProcessing
in event-handling code for that treeNode write
treeNodeTitle = 'MyTreeNode'
I hope this will work.

Narinder Hartala

How to limit the length of editable text in CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT ?

Hi;
I have used an instance of CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT on a container. But I want to limit the length of text that can be entered in the text edit ? The method LIMIT_TEXT is protected so I can not call it in the abap source code.
Is there any other way to limit the length of text in Text Edit Control ?
Kind Regards.
Erkan.

Hi,
Protected methods are essentially for inherited classes only. To access a protected method, inherit a class from this class and then create and instance of the child class and then using the instance object, call the protected method.
Hopefully it should work.
Thanks,
Chandra

HT201991 What is the character limit for length for video or song reviews?

What is the character limit for length for video or song review?

One other thing I found... It was still doing the spinning clock and locking up, but it took a while after boot for the problem to crop up.
I pulled the media card and found that there was a media sync folder under Blackberry\System that had some files in there that were pretty big. The artwork file was over 150MB and some other files were largish.
I deleted the entire media sync folder and now it seems to be behaving itself. No more spinning clock and it seems to be slowly returning to normal. (Besides all the messages it deleted during the whole process)
If anyone else runs into this I would say you should clean the folder off the media card along with disabling the sync. Seems the BB still reads that folder and processes it if present.

How to calculate length of textfield

Folks,
Please tell me how to find of length of textfield in a form. length function of javascript doesn't work on rawValue.
Thanks,
Manish

Hi Manish,
Can you post your code what you tried?
If it is a text field, this.rawValue.length should work. What type of field is it?
Keep in mind that when nothing has been filled in, rawValue.length is nothing.

Limit string-length in Reporting Data Source

Hello,
we want to report some attributes to the BI. For this we use the standard reporting activity in the BPM. After we done a lot of configuration on the CE and the BI we achieved to connect the two systems. All attributes are passed correctly to the BI and now we have a problem with the string-length we pass to the BI. The string-length they get from the CE is 512 but the BI can only handle strings with a 60-length. Is it possible to limit the length of a string in the BPM or the CE?
Manuel

Hello Jun,
I have created reporting data source in my BPM where my parameter defined is of type "STRING'.
This data source is accessed by BW system for reporting purpose where they get an error as below -
"STRING/XTRING types used Not supported by currently selected access method UDCGEN; cannot use this method"
Looks like BW does not support string type, how can we make this datatype compatible?
Please share if you have any idea.
Thanks,
Priya

Field can vary in length from 1 to 4 characters

Good day to all,
I have a field that can vary in length from 1 to 4 characters.
So, if there is 1 Character I have to concatenate
"A000000" &X (X represents field lenght) if the field is 2 characters long I have to concatednate
"A00000"&XX (XX represents field lenght) and so on.
"A0000"&XXX
"A000"&XXXX
I understand I have to test for lenght, how do I do this?????
the name of the field {PV_ShipReq.ShipReqNum}
Thanks

In the new mac app store how do you limit displayed applications only to os x applications.

In the new mac app store how do you limit displayed applications only to os x applications. I do not have Iphone or ipad so all the phone junk is annoying and one cannot find the relevant software.

The Mac App Store only has apps for Mac OS X. There are no iOS apps.

Problem with length of Textfield when converted to Bitmap

im using this code from the docs
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.text.TextField;
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.text = "bitmap text";
var myBitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(80, 20);
myBitmapData.draw(tf);
var bmp:Bitmap = new Bitmap(myBitmapData);
this.addChild(bmp);
the problem is when i make the string longer - there are
characters missing in the Bitmap - ive used the TestFormat to no
avail
any one any ideas
tks
M

Did you make the myBitmapData bigger on subsequent occasions?
BitmapData(80, 20); means 80 pixels wide by 20 high : if your
textfield gets bigger than that then it won't fit onto the
bitmapdata

Problem in LOV display length

i am facing a problem in a LOV display, one of the columns had a length of 4 earlier from the base table used in the LOV but after changing the base table to 10, actual column length is 5 but the fifth character is not showing in the LOV.
I hope, my question is clear. Please help in solving the doubt.
regards.

width=5 doesn't mean, that you see 5 characters !
e.g. you can see three "m" or you can see twelve "i" when using a non-proportional font
try to increase the size, so that you see enough
