Looping through an objects children

This post is related to another post I have in the forums:
"Dynamically adding containers".
However, I am using an object (note this object can change -
is dynamic):
[CODE]
[Bindable]
public var dashboardDP:Object =
{item:"dashboard", children: [
{item:"vbox", id:"vbox 1", children: [
{item:"panel", id:"panel 1", children: [
{item:"hbox", id:"hbox 1", children: [
{item:"view" id:"view 1"},
{item:"view" id:"view 2"},
{item:"view" id:"view 3"}
{item:"hbox", id:"hbox 2", children: [
{item:"view" id:"view 4"},
{item:"panel", id:"panel 2", children: [
{item:"vbox", id:"vbox 2", children: [
{item:"view" id:"view 5"},
{item:"view" id:"view 6"},
[/CODE]
And I want to loop through every child in this object but am
struggling to do so :(
e.g. the following loop will ony return the first child of
the object:
[CODE]
for(var i:int=0; i<dashboardDP.children.length; i++)
// some code.....
[/CODE]
I want to advance this loop so that it "drills" into and
retrieves / reads every child and sub child of each parent etc.....
Is this possible???
Any help would be much appreciated on this one.
Thanks in advance,
Jon.

Hi "xtempore" thanks for the fast reply!!!
Just off the top of my head... I am using an Object type for
"dashboardDP".
Will this work as in your example to loop through and get all
the children?
I notoce you are using a type UIComponent and referencing
UIComponent.children - will this work?
I have train but am getting errors... with the line:
for each (var c: UIComponent in comp.children) {
when trying to access the ".children"
Could you please expand?
Thanks again,
Kind Regards,
Jon

Loop through tree node children recursively

Is there an easy way of looping through all the child nodes of a MutableTreeNode and the children of those children if they have any?
Thanks

With a recursive function (this is depth first):
public void traverse(Node node) {
// do something with node
for(Node child : node.getChildren()) {
traverse(child);
}You could also look at depthFirst/breathFirst/preorder/postorderEnumeration() methods on DefaultMutableTreeNode if that's what you actually got.

How do I: Loop through Application objects

How would I loop through the application object? My goal is to see if the object is a label and change its font size.
pseudocode would look like this:
function setsize(change int) {
for each obj in application {
 if obj is of type label {
 set font size to font size + change
Once I got that working, I'd add other objects that display text. The "change" would be a number to increase (positive) or decrease (negative) the size.
Thanks,
Jerry

I have this:
 <mx:HBox id="resultTextBox"
 width="100%"
 verticalScrollPolicy="off" horizontalScrollPolicy="auto">
 <mx:Label id="resultPotentialResultsLabel"
 text="Food Stamp potential eligibility for household, estimated monthly benefit amount "
 styleName="textNormal"
 toolTip="Results message"
 tabIndex="200" tabEnabled="true" fontSize="40"/>
 <mx:Text id="resultPotentialResultsData"
 styleName="resultNumberNormal"
 toolTip="Final results"
 tabIndex="202" tabEnabled="true" />
 </mx:HBox>
When I expand the font size it pushes the "resultPotentialResutsData" to limbo. I tried adding the horizonal scroll bar to allow the user to still see the results, The scroll doesn't appear.
1) is there a way to get the box to expand to fix the content?
2) is there a way to get the scroll bar to appear when needed?
3) is there a way to wrap the text (in this case the second field) in the HBox?

Looping through json object in a query string

Hi
I have a json object in my query string and would like to loop through it, do i convert it to an array, or a map, so that i can loop through it?
I get the object from the url which looks like this:
{"CREATEDBYNAME":"TEST_ADMIN","FIRSTNAME":"John","TYPEID":"1900000000"}
I would then like to loop through it so that i can make a string that would look like:
"CREATEDBYNAME" = "TEST_ADMIN" AND "FIRSTNAME" = "John" AND "TYPEID"="1900000000"
I want to use a loop because there can be up to 15 options in the json object. and the if statement would just not do.
Plz help.

What you can do with that object, I can't tell you because I don't know what it can or can't do. What's its API? Where does it come from?

Looping through serialized objects?

I have made a program which stores the game score such as seen 3d pinball. I know how to store then but I don't know how to loop through all records so that I can store them in one single array so that I can perform diffenent operations on that array.
such I should arrange them and find out the top five scorer. Give me some valueable hints.

Demo:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Example implements Serializable {
 private static final long serialVersionUID = 1;
 private String text;
 public Example(String text) {
 this.text = text;
 public String toString() {
 return text;
 public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
 List<Example> list = new ArrayList<Example>();
 Collections.addAll(list, new Example("hello"), new Example("world"));
 File file = new File("temp.dat");
 ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file));
 out.writeObject(list);
 out.flush();
 out.close();
 ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
 List<Example> input = (List<Example>) in.readObject();
 in.close();
 System.out.println(input);
}

Looping through objects - testing links

Hi
I have a script that moves all instances of a linked object according to user defined X,Y values.
In order to do this, I need to loop through all objects with links
What is the best way to do this?
As of now, this is what I am doing:
var g = myDoc.allGraphics;
for (var i=0; i<g.length; i++) {
 if (g[i].itemLink.name == USER_LINK) {
 g[i].parent.move(undefined, [USER_X, USER_Y]);
It works well, however I ran into some problems where link was null
Also, is it always the graphic that is linked, or can its parent be linked as well?
If not, then I can just condition that if itemLink == null - continue
Any advice and guidance would be much appreciated
Thanks
David

It works well, however I ran into some problems where link was null
if (g[i].itemLink && g[i].itemLink.name == "USER_LINK") // should be enough
Also, is it always the graphic that is linked, or can its parent be linked as well?
Graphic can be linked ==> itemLink !=null and itemLink.status can vary
or pasted ==> itemLink == null.
As far as I know graphic.parent can not be linked.
However not every linked graphic.parent can be moved. I e. those one which are anchored with
AnchorPosition.INLINE_POSITION and AnchorPosition.ABOVE_LINE
Above case can be a source of error as well.
Consider also locked object or locked entire layers.

Question on how to loop through a variable amount of objects

I have a csv file which I am parsing with powershell and it works perfectly. I would like to speed it up. Currently, I call a line that is customized for each groups list of subnets.
I have about 30 groups.
Some groups have one subnet, some have 5 subnets.
I want to set up some sort of loop to parse everything while executing a single Import-CSV. Currently I call Import-CSV once per group. It takes me about 2-4 minutes to parse the entire file depending on the speed of the machine.
The csv file has about 30,000 rows. I am not concerned about running out of resources. This is as much a learning challenge as a desire to make better powershell scripts.
Below is a portion of the one liner that would parse the entire csv file looking only for those items that match, and writing them out to that groups specific csv file.
Example #1
Import-Csv $HostList | Where-Object {$_."IP Address" -Match "^192.1.*" -or $_."IP Address" -Match "^192.2.*" -or $_."IP Address" `-Match "^192.3.*" .....}| do more stuff...
Example #2
Import-Csv $HostList | Where-Object {$_."IP Address" -Match "^192.7.*" ....}| do more stuff...
The example above is just a snippet from code that works perfectly.
The problem I am asking for help with is, when I loop through the items I am matching against (subnets), if one group has 3 items to match against, another has 1, another has 7, how do I set up such a loop?
Am I using some sort of 'while' $_."IP Address" or...?
Do I create a big 30,000 array (Does PS even use arrays?)
I would love to know what this type of looping is called, and what I can read with examples on how to understand approaching this challenge..
Thank you for any help.
-= Bruce D. Meyer

The reason for the parsing (I thought I explained it, must have been too vague) is I have about 30 agencies in a csv file.
Each agency can be determined by their subnet(s) and domain(s)
I need to put all lines in the csv relating to each agency in their own separate csv file to distribute to them so I am not sharing agency 'A' info with the other 29 agencies.
I get the regex comment. Thank you. For some reason I am rather hesitant to use PCRE under windows. I'll see how it works.
Your comment on "Reloading a large file repeatedly takes more time", is the exact reason why I asked the question. I want to get away from that.
I appreciate your quick reply, I think your example will work nicely.

Looping Through Object Properties?

hello,
i have a movie clip with the class name "block" , am gonna use this object many times in the stage so i need to loop through it, i was able to do that but i can't access to their properties (x,y,height,width,etc...)
here is the code :
var blocks:Array = new Array ;
//blocks is the array that must contains the movieClips
for (var i = 0; i < numChildren; i++)
 if (getChildAt(i) is block)
 //what should i write here to make the variable blocks[i] a movieClip and access to it's properties ?
thank you

for (var i=0; i< numChildren; i++)
 if (getChildAt(i) is block)
 blockss.push(MovieClip(getChildAt(i)));
 var tempBlock = MovieClip(getChildAt(i));
 //i can access to all blocks properties through tempBlock
thank you sir

Looping through objects on stage

I know I've done this type of thing before, but I can't
remember how... How do I loop through all the objects on a stage to
check their names for a specific substring. On my stage I have a
number of movieclips with names that end with either _a_mc or
_b_mc. I want to check for everything that has _a_mc so I can
change the frame of that movieclip.

The for...in loop should be handy for this:
for (var obj in _root){
trace( obj + ": " + _root[obj] );

Looping through Objects

Hi,
I'm trying to design business entities with ABAP Objects. I have been able to create internal tables of custom object types.
I stumbled into a very peculiar situation in which i have to loop through my custom object internal table. i couldn't use the WHERE specification since the line type is not a structure. READ TABLE doesnt work either. What i did to overcome the problem was to do a LOOP AT with an IF statement inside and an EXIT command to quit the search when found.
Is there a better solution? And Is the whole idea of wrapping everything in classes and accessing the through an internal idea a good idea in the first place?
Thanks.

heres an example:
* DEFINITIONS
CLASS cl_drag_drop_picture DEFINITION INHERITING FROM cl_gui_picture.
PUBLIC SECTION.
    DATA: row     TYPE I,
          col     TYPE I.
DATA: g_wa_pic_ctrl TYPE REF TO cl_drag_drop_picture.
DATA: g_it_pic_ctrl LIKE TABLE OF g_wa_pic_ctrl.
* PROCESS
* lets assume that g_it_pic_ctrl has several entries and
* each entry is uniquely identified by the attributes
* row AND col.
PERFORM GetObjectByRowCol USING p_row
                                p_col
                       CHANGING g_wa_pic_ctrl.
* SUBROUTINES
FORM GetObjectByRowCol USING p_row
                             p_col
                    CHANGING r_pic_ctrl.
DATA: l_wa_pic_ctrl LIKE g_wa_pic_ctrl.
* Search for picture
LOOP AT g_it_pic_ctrl INTO l_wa_pic_ctrl.
    IF l_wa_pic_ctrl->row EQ p_row AND
       l_wa_pic_ctrl->col EQ p_col.
      r_pic_ctrl = l_wa_pic_ctrl.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
* Collect Garbage
CLEAR l_wa_pic_ctrl.
ENDFORM.
What I couldn't do is access my internal table like:
READ TABLE g_it_pic_ctrl
      INTO r_pic_ctrl
WITH KEY row = p_row
           col = p_col.
OR
LOOP AT g_it_pic_ctrl INTO r_pic_ctrl
                     WHERE row EQ p_row
                           col EQ p_col.

How to Loop through App and finding popup Windows

Does anyone know how to loop through the app and find any
popup windows..

I guess application by default creates a SystemManager
object... So i used
this.systemManager.popUpChildren.numChildren and it gives me
0 all the time.. even though I have instances of windows to the
app.. According to the documentation this should give you the
number of popup children but it doesn't.. Any more ideas?

Looping through a list with an iterator

Looping through an array to get the index for each measure in a combo box

Hi folks,
I am working on a web application that has two combo boxes, one for year (called yearcombo) and for measures (called myURL) for that selected year, and also two radiobuttons (in radioBtnGroup). I have two years and a bunch of measure for each year. I have a map tool tip that when you mouse over the county you see a measure for that specific year. However I have a bunch of measures for each year and I want to be able to loop through the measures (which are in an array collection inside a combobox) so my "if" expression can find every selectedIndex and bring me the tool tip for that selected measure for that selected radio button. Right now I would have to create if statements for each measure (each selectedIndex inside the myURL combobox)and each radiobutton (inside the radioBtnGroup) instead of creating a if expression to get a map tip tool for each measure. I know I would have to create a loop to search for these indexes and enter that in the if expression and also change the graphic.attributes to reflect the right measure or index selected. Do you API for Flex wizards can give me any tips on how to code this according to my code below ? Any help is greatly appreciated! (the print scree is attached)
Below is the code snippet:
if (yearcombo.selectedItem.year == "2007" && myURL.selectedIndex == 0 && radioBtnGroup.selectedValue == 0)
fLayer.definitionExpression = "DATA_YEAR_TXT like '2007'"
var graphic:Graphic = Graphic(event.currentTarget);
graphic.symbol = mouseOverSymbol;
var htmlText:String = graphic.attributes.htmlText;
var textArea:TextArea = new TextArea();
try{
textArea.htmlText = myURL.selectedItem.label + graphic.attributes.ForDirIndOut.toString()
myMap.infoWindow.content=textArea
myMap.infoWindow.label = graphic.attributes.NAME;
myMap.infoWindow.closeButtonVisible = false;
myMap.infoWindow.show(myMap.toMapFromStage(event.stageX, event.stageY));}
catch(error:Error) {
trace("Caught Error: "+error);
And below is the combo boxes with the arrays
<mx:FormItem label="Year :" >
<mx:ComboBox id="yearcombo" selectedIndex="0" labelField="label" width="100%" change="changeEvt(event)" >

Looping through inbox items on timer event is really slow...?

Hi,
I have an issue with a email sync event that I am running. Essentially, I am given a date (the received date of the last email synced) via another process and then need to return all the emails in the user's inbox the where receivedDate > this given
date.
I have a timer object than triggers my sync event every 15 mins. I also have a button that allows the user to manually activate the sync - this basically changes the timer to 3 secs and so it fires the sync event.
If the sync event is fired manually as per above, it loops through everything quite quickly (~12,000 emails in 30 secs) and I can stored the sender/recipient and received time data I require from these in a list of objects, which I sync later on in a background
process. During this loop the main UI freezes up, which is fine since I show a progress bar so the user knows how long they need to wait, and a large sync like this should only occur on their first sync theoretically. If the first sync event is
fired without the manual input - so still called from the same timer event, but just on the normal 15 min event, not the shortened 3 sec one - then it runs differently. The sync takes a lot lot longer, and the UI doesn't freeze up.
I presume this might be because it is fired slightly differently and does not hog up the main thread, but rather shares it with normal Outlook operations. Maybe the operations are being run on a background thread and then keep having to jump into the
main thread to access the email items...? Either way, I'm not quite sure how this is happening since the only difference is the user pressing a button that changes the timer.interval. The code that is run is the same, and the button press doesn't
trigger the actual sync itself.
Is there a way I can force this first sync to always run solely in the main thread, it can freeze up Outlook and show the progress bar until it is done? Ideally any subsequent syncs would then be run with no progress bar and no freezing up of the UI.
Many thanks,
Tom

Hello Tom,
> Maybe the operations are being run on a background thread and then keep having to jump into the main thread to access the email items...?
You shouldn't use another threads when dealing with the Outlook object model. Office applications use the single threaded apartment (STA) model and don't support multithreading. All calls made from another threads are marshalled by Outlook to the main
thread. However, you can use a low-level code (Extended MAPI) to access the data from secondary threads. For example, you can use Redemption which is based on Extended MAPI.
> it loops through everything quite quickly (~12,000 emails in 30 secs)
Instead of looping over all items in the folder I'd recommend using the
Find/FindNext
or
Restrict methods of the Items class. You can read more about them in the following articles:
How To: Use Find and FindNext methods to retrieve Outlook mail items from a folder (C#, VB.NET)
How To: Use Restrict method to retrieve Outlook mail items from a folder
You can use the System.Windows.Forms.Timer class which uses the main thread for invoking the Tick event. The .NET
Framework Class Library provides three different timer classes: System.Windows.Forms.Timer, System.Timers.Timer, and System.Threading.Timer. Each of these classes has been designed and optimized for use in different situations. The Comparing
the Timer Classes in the .NET Framework Class Library article examines the three timer classes and helps you gain an understanding of how and when each class should be used.
Also you may find the
AdvancedSearch method of the Application class helpful. Pay special attention to the fact that the search is performed in another thread. You don’t need to run another thread manually since the
AdvancedSearch method runs it automatically in the background. See
Advanced search in Outlook programmatically: C#, VB.NET for more information.

Looping through each record

Hi everyone
I am new in crystal reporting and using Crystal Reports XI release 2. Firstly I should explain what I need to have. In my database I have got a parent table called Initiatives and a child table called benefits. One initiative has got many benefits associated with it and benefits are updated regularly by the users. Now my manager wants me to create an Initiative reports in such a way that all the initiatives are displayed and against each initiative there should be a box filled with either of these colour (red, yellow, green).
Let's say if Initiative "X" has got 10 benefits and if one or more benefits are outstanding by more than 2% then the colour of the box should be red. And if no benefit is outstanding by more than 2% and one or more benefits are outstanding more then 1% and less then 2% then colour of box should be yellow. And if no benefit is outstanding more than 1% then colour of box should be green.
Now for this I have created a report displaying all initiatives and a sub report with a SQL command containing the data from the benefits table. I have also included a database field which I would use as a box.
Now I want to loop through each record of the crystal report till the last record and format the field as per condition. I would probably use nested loop to look for the status of the benefits but I don't know how to do this in CR. In short I am looking to do this thing in CR
While Recordset.EOF
Do
But I can't find a key word for EOF or count-1 or some thing like that.
Seeking the help of you guys.
Regards,

It would be much easier to simply let Crystal's conditional formatting do this for you.
Almost every formatting aspect of each object in Crystal can be controlled via expressions. Just click on the expression button to the right of the property...
