Looking for a way to hide/collapse the display of menu bar items
I've searched the web but I cannot find any utilities that would allow me to hide the items on my menu bar, which is getting a bit cluttered. Particularly when some programs are running, if those programs have a certain number of drop down menus, the menus on the right hand side overlay some of the left side menu bar icons. It would be nice to be able to collapse & un-collapse the menu bar icons when desired.
Not really a problem on my PowerMac which has a 23" display, but moreso on my 15" MBP.
As an aside; if you need to keep several apps fairly close to hand without cluttering the menu bar or dock, create a folder within your Applications folder, and place aliases of the apps in there, then drag the folder to the dock below the divider (next to the trash). Right click on the folder in the dock to get a pop-up list to choose from. I use the same idea for frequently used files and games too (seperate folders)

Looking for a way to hide the menu bar
hey all, i've been looking for a way to hide the menu bar completely and then mouse over it to bring it back, like how the dock is when it's hidden. i want the same thing for the menu bar to free up a little more space and make it a little cleaner looking. i'm currently using eclipse just to black it out completely but there's just a black bar across the top of my screen with it and i just want it gone. any suggestions?

Daniel.AFAIK, a string of text does not have an (x,y) location inside a PDF file. The location is exists on your screen, and will differ whenever you adjust the resolution of it. Text can have a location when it's stored as an image though, but than it's really the location of a certain number of pixels (not necessarily a string!). -
Looking for a way to programmatically set the visible portion of the front panel when a subVI opens
I am looking for a way to programmatically set the visible portion of the front panel when a subVI opens. Haven't found any posts that relate, but I'm not sure how to ask the right question. To be clear, I want to write a helper VI to go through a list of subVIs to make sure the background images are all in the same place when their respective subVIs open. I hate manually playing with scroll bars before I save each of the VIs... I'm figuring I need to find the top/left location of the background image (know how to do this already) and then set a VI FP property to these values or some offset, but I can't find the relevant property. FP:run-timeposition:custom looked promissing, but only affects the location of the window, not the area of the front panel the window is displaying.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Cool. Getting closer. The way I implemented your suggestion affects the subVI only if it is open. I can use this to do what I'm after, perhaps putting the code into each subVI. Maybe open all subs, run the helper, and save. Seems like I'm missing the elegant version...

Looking for a way to hide Airport broadcast, for extra security
So I have a Linksys WRT54 router which pumps out a pretty strong signal from my apartment, (I can get 4 bars on the Aiport icon in the Menu Bar 3 floors down) the encryption key is WPA2 Personal, but I am wondering if it is possible to stop the network name being broadcast, so that new users who want to join it would have to know the name and the password and type both in manually.
Any ideas anyone?That's because your System Preferences->Network->Advanced->Airport probably has "remember networks this computer has joined" check. Delete the network in the table above that and uncheck. Should be good to go.
Cheers
edit: you probably want to leave yours alone to remember the network. Everyone else will have to enter the network name and password unless they already have it. -
Looking for a way to test if the lines in a path intersect any objects?
What i'd like to do is select an open ended path, and generate an array of all the objects that path intersects. Here's an image to illustrate:
The green line would be selected. The script would run and populate an array with pointers to each yellow square the line intersects. Does anyone have any ideas on how this can be done in javascript? Or if it is possible at all? Help is appreacited, thanks!Sure it's possible. If all of your objects-to-cross are rectangles (as in your image), it's even quite trivial.
(15 minutes later) Oh well, perhaps not "trivial" -- I'd have to check at home whether or not I got a full-fledged rectangle intersection code. This doesn't work -- the "crossObject" function needs a bit more work.
At least it'll give you something to look at.
if (app.selection.length != 1)
alert ("Wot no single path selected?");
else
if (!(app.selection[0] instanceof PathItem))
alert ("Wot no path?");
else
allObjects = [];
for (i=0; i<app.activeDocument.pageItems.length; i++)
if (!app.activeDocument.pageItems[i].selected)
allObjects.push (app.activeDocument.pageItems[i]);
thePath = [];
for (i=0; i<app.selection[0].pathPoints.length; i++)
thePath.push ([ app.selection[0].pathPoints[i].anchor[0],app.selection[0].pathPoints[i].anchor[1] ] );
app.selection[0].selected = false;
for (i=0; i<thePath.length-1; i++)
for (j=0; j<allObjects.length; j++)
// only check if necessary
if (allObjects[j].selected == true)
continue;
if (crossObject (thePath[i], thePath[i+1], allObjects[j]))
allObjects[j].selected = true;
// .. to do .. (dis doesn't work)
// (check Liang-Barsky or Cohen-Sutherland viewport clipping)
function crossObject (a, b, obj)
var xl = obj.visibleBounds[1];
var xr = obj.visibleBounds[3];
var yt = obj.visibleBounds[0];
var yb = obj.visibleBounds[2];
var x1 = a[0],y1 = a[1];
var x2 = b[0],y2 = b[1];
// if point is inside object, it (obviously) hits
if (x1 > xl && x1 < xr && y1 > yt && y1 < yb)
return true;
if (x2 > xl && x2 < xr && y2 > yt && y2 < yb)
return true;
return false; -

I am looking for a way to disable the windows ct
rl-alt-del function in a LabVIEW 6.0 VI. I also need to disable the bottom task bar including the Start key in Windows NT 4.0. My goal is to keep the VI exclusively on the screen and disable the users from switching to other programs or shut off the PC.
rl-alt-del function in a LabVIEW 6.0 VI. I also need to disable the bottom task bar including the Start key in Windows NT 4.0. My goal is to keep the VI exclusively on the screen and disable the users from switching to other programs or shut off the PC.Public libraries use applications like WinSelect to lock down access to machines.
http://www.winselect.com/
But control-alt-delete in NT4.0 is a kernel level security feature that can't be
defeated unless you hide the keyboard. By using registry settings you can
control what is presented to the user after he hits control-alt-delete and keep
him/her from shutting down, but you will also have to lock up the computer to keep
your users from hitting the reset button and hide the mouse.
If you want to boot up an NT environment without a keyboard and mouse
you will need to go to NT Embedded. NTE allows you to build a custom
OS that does not require keyboard or mouse to boot. You can also install
just the components you need, ie; no browser, menus, control panel, etc.
Regards,
Alan

Looking for a way to broadcast a line in to the Airpot Express?
Looking for a way to run line input into my macbook and broadcast it to the Airport Express to Play on my Stereo..
It is discussed on the xfce forums but unfortunately that solution requires editing by hand. However it does seem relatively easy to automate. Writing a graphical program for those tasks is something you'd only have to do once.

I am looking for a way to enter multiple dates into a field without the form becoming too long.
This will be used by an old school bookeeper who needs the form to fit on one page.
Any ideas?Hi,
If you don't need the field to provide a date picker, verify it's a date, or don't need to sort the dates in the table, you can just use a text area field, and have your form filler enter the dates comma separated. Otherwise you'd have to add multiple fields. However, you can lessen the space each field takes up veritically, by using the "Labels Left" option (in the toolbar).
Thanks,
Todd
