My New Flex Cookbook Post on Using Custom Events

I just created a Flex Cookbook post on using custom events to pass data between the Flex application and custom components:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/communityengine/index.cfm?event=showdetails&productId=2&postI d=15466&loc=en_US
Hope it helps.

After perusing the SDK classes, I realize that all arguments from the superclass should go first in constructor arguments.
Also, although we are listening in capture phase, both the bubble and capture phase have the problem of requiring unique event names. This is why the application frameworks recommend singletons like model singletons so you can listen directly to them instead of basically broadcasting to everyone (bubbling) or listening to everyone (capture).
That would be a bit more complex, and I am trying to keep this simple, but another good point to keep in mind.

How to force a new document to check in using an event receiver

Hello,
I need someone to guide me how to achieve using an event receiver or any other method how to force a document to check in. I have some users that forget to check in their documents. I have a workflow that runs every time a new document is uploaded and check
in to run an approval process. Hope anyone can help me with this.
Best Regards,
Fer

You can check-in document in the ItemAdded event
Example:
namespace MultipleFileUpload.MultipleItemsAdded
/// <summary>
/// List Item Events
/// </summary>
public class MultipleItemsAdded : SPItemEventReceiver
/// <summary>
/// An item was added.
/// </summary>
private Guid siteID;
private SPFile file;
public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
siteID = properties.SiteId;
file = properties.ListItem.File;
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(siteID))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
base.ItemAdding(properties);
SPListItem oItem = properties.ListItem;
oItem["Title"] = "Please add a title.";
oItem["Description"] = "Please add a description.";
oItem.Update();
if (file.CheckOutType != SPFile.SPCheckOutType.None)
file.CheckIn("Automatic Check In");

Issue in using custom event from outreach

Hi
I have created a custom event and executed a scenario successfully for this custom event from ACC. But when I try to configure the same event from Outreach(BCC), I am able to see this custom event in the list of available events, but after selecting this event there is no option to configure attributes for this event, but I can configure attributes in ACC. My BCC version is 10.1.1

Dear Ankit,
Once the pricing procedure is downloaded, please maintain the document pricing procedure at service contract header level, and maintain the customer pricing procedure at business partner sales area billing data.
In spro, maintain the pricing procedure for the combination of sales area, document pricing procedure, customer pricing procedure.
Please crosscheck whether the condition table is active or not.

New issue breaking Gmail when using custom domain name

I have been using my own domain name in conjunction with Gmail since the launch of Gmail. The use case is fairly straightforward -- I have my own domain name and have created an email address alias on this domain ("custom email address') that forwards email to my Gmail account. I have configured Gmail to override the From field with this custom email address. With this configuration, Gmail is happy.
On my Z10, I had created a Gmail email integration account via the Advanced Settings with my custom email address in the "email address" field and my gmail email address as the username with the appropriate gmail server settings. When I continue from the advanced screen, I was taken to the Google account login screen where I grant permissions for my BlackBerry to access my account. On this screen, I logged in using my gmail email address. This worked fine and I received email without incident on my Z10 since I bought it on the Feb launch date ... until this past weekend. My Z10 then suddenly reported that my settings had changed and nothing I could do could convince it to accept the above settings as correct.
If you have a similar configuration and have noticed recent issues, there is a solution. This new "issue" appears to be that when you log into the Google permissions screen during the BB10 email account configuration process (i.e. the Google login page after you enter all the server settings in Advanced section of BB email account setup), you are no longer allowed to enter a username that differs with the custom email address you are setting up. It won't ever tell you that this is the problem. You just get a vague email settings error at the end of the process and you can't get your mail. It is possible that Google is the one who introduced this glitch, since the solution is within your Google account configuration, not BlackBerry. Simply put, you must associate your custom email address with your gmail account login within Google.
To do this, log in to Gmail using your usual gmail address. Click on your Gmail address in the top right corner, select the "Account" link in the drop down. Click the "Edit" link to the right of the Email heading. At the bottom of this edit page add your custom email address in the field next to the label "Add a new alternate address". After you add it, you will need to verify this address via an email that will be in your Gmail account. I probably should have done this long ago, but never had the need to until now.
Now you can get BB email working again. Go back to the BB10 account settings page for your Gmail account. This time when are kicked over to the Google login page to grant permissions to your BlackBerry to access your account, use your custom email address as your Google username and use your usual Gmail password.

Amazing, Thanks !

Thank you,

I was disappointed with the kind of response from a forum like this to an amateur like me.
I found a way around, decided not to use Eclipse at all with Flex SDK. Instead I am using Flash Develop which is a free IDE specific for Flash & Flex and integrating Flex SDK is pretty easy in that. Provided a very good feature set for a free software. Anyone stuck with this problem I suggest to go ahead with FlashDevelop instead of trying to figure out Eclipse. It is available for download here

Could some one explain to me how Custom Events work?

I tried looking in the live docs and still it confused me, so
then I went searching on the net and found this very lovely
tutorial
http://www.tink.ws/blog/custom-events-in-as-30-dont-forget-to-override-the-clone-method/
but still it confused me. The part I am puzzled on the most is that
when you create like a event that listens for when your mouse
clicks something is setup like addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
eventHandler) etc, etc. And when a mouse is clicked the event is
triggered! but if the CLICK constant is just a a string value what
is going on behind the scenes that tells it (lets say Flex is
talking -->) "okay he/she specified the 'CLICK' constant so I
guess this means I will make this event happen only when the mouse
clicks on that particular object" and same with
MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK how does it know to trigger this event only
when the mouse double clicks on a item. I want to make my own
custom events that trigger a particular event based on what a
object does, but I just don't understand how to set it up and
implement it.

HI,
The hole concept of event dispatcher is that events get fired
all the time, if there is someone listening to the event or not. In
your own example, the CLICK event gets fired each time someone
clicks on the object.
When you add an event listener basically what you are doing
is adding a function to a queue of functions that get executed each
time a specific event is fired. This is very important to keep in
mind from the object disposal point of view, since for the garbage
collector to actually kill an object all reference to it must be
eliminated, and this include the reference in this queue for the
listening function.
The reason that an event name is simply a String is so you
can actually define any event you might like. Still is good
practice to define constants for your events names since it will
avoid a lot of errors when writing code.
Now to fire an event all you need to do is dispatch a
specific event using the "dispatchEvent" function. This is what
happens each time you click on an object, the dispatchEvent(new
Event(Event.CLICK))) function is called.
If you are using custom events it's a good idea to extend the
Event class so you can add some extra information to the event, for
example, in the MouseEvent the x and y coordinates of the mouse are
added. To dispatch a custom event all you do is call the event
dispatcher with the custom event:
dispatchEvent(new CustomEventClass(Some Data));

Observable vs Custom Events

Hi.
I'm creating a project that uses the MVC design pattern, and being eager to make sure I follow the best practices I have a couple of questions. When notifying a 'View' of changes to the 'Model' is it preferable to effect this notfication using the Observer/Observable pattern, or through a custom eventListener? I can understand that the Observer/Observable way of doing things allows the View to be completely independant of the Model. However if I were to use custom events and eventListeners it would certainly make things easier to read and implement (my model is quite a large beast, comprising of multiple sub-models), as I would be able to provide more information about the change with each notification.
Is the answer to this just personal preference, or is there a convention?
Thanks in advance.

EventListener is an example of the [Subject] Observer
pattern.
If you are using swing/awt then use EventListener, if
you wish to decouple your implementation from
swing/awt, then implement your own solution based on
the [Subject] Observer pattern.I disagree. Swing/awt have nothing to do with this. EventListener, EventObject, Observer, and Observable all belong to java.util. In theory you could do this without using any of these classes and making the event and listeners yourself without extending anything from java.util.
Observer and Observable is good for a one to one relationship. It is quick, easy to do, and you don't have a lot to worry about. Multiple Observers watching one Observable is also nice. It is when you start watching multiple Observable classes that things get messy. Observer has one method that all Observable classes call. You have to do a lot of checking to see which class the Observable is before you know how to handle it.
IMO the biggest disadvantage to Observer and Observable, is that something must extend Observable. This is bad if the class you want to observe extends something else. Instances of Observer and Observable are also bound tightly together.
Events and Listeners are not bound together. Typically once the event is processed, it is disposed unless you want to save it and use it over and over. When using multiple listeners and events, you would implement each listener (or make anonymous) and it would have its own methods for a specific event, and not one large update method that handles everything. The events would be constructed as needed, and passed to the listeners.
You are not limited to extend Event like you are with Observable. If you tried to handle an Observable the same way as an Event, you would have to register the Observable with the Observer, notify the Observer, then remove the Observable.
Event/Listener is awesome for multithreading. You could write a Thread and Queue to manage all of your events (Similar to the AWTEventQueue). A class could put an event into the queue to be processed at a later time (or right away) by another thread. The Observer/Observable relationship cannot support this easily.
The disadvantage is that you have to handle sending an event to each listener manually, where the Observer/Observable handles that on its own.
In summary, Observer/Observable is a slightly more limitted version of Event/Listener, but it handles notifying the Observer/Listener on its own.

Regarding custom events

I got some difficulties using custom event listeners.
What I would like to achieve is pretty simple. With a bunch
of movable fruits, when dragging one of them(this becomes the
'active' object) to collide with others(these are the 'inactive
objects'), I need Flash to tell me who is colliding whom.
So I setup the Fruit Class, with the ability to dispatch and
listen the custom event: "EXECUTE_HITTEST". For me the code looks
good, but there's must be something wrong...
The full .fla & .as files can be downloaded
here, and you can
preview
the
snapshot here.
Thanks in advance.
It's in the .zip file as well but for your convenience I just
put the Fruit Class here:
================================================================

your event (and everything else in your class) is specific to
class instances. no two instances can communicate with each other
directly.
you can create another class that contains references to them
all, but that won't get you any further than using each instance to
get to the root timeline which then allows access to the others.
there are several strategies for increasing efficiency of
hitTests. i like to use a grid.
imagine the stage divided into a grid. if your objects are
not changing position with time t, you have an easy task. if they
change position with time, you'll have more work to do.
but for each time t, each grid contains a list of objects
within it. for each time t, each object has a property referencing
the grid within which it's contained.
when you want to perform a hittest for a particular object,
check its grid. then execute a hittest against all objects in that
grid and the eight (assuming rectangular shaped) surrounding grids.
there are several strategies for picking a grid size. but, in
general, you don't want grids to be so small that when you check
for collisions, you have to check beyond the surrounding 8 plus the
center grid.

Workflow custom event trigger

Hi experts,
I have inherited zbus2030 from bus2030 and also i have delegated it. Now i am using custom event zcreated in my workflow. The linkage is active and exists in swetypv transaction. But the event is not getting triggered through VA11 transaction. If i trigger through SWUe transaction,. It is getting triggered.
Can anyone please guide me what my problem is??

I think you had to use the Super type Business object and your enhanced event.
- start the event log using SWELS
- execute your transaction which should raise the event.
- use transaktion SWEL to look which event was really raised. Use this event in SWDD (small hat in top bar) start events.
- dont forget to activate !
hope this helps

Cannot add a new SHIP_TO address to a exist customer by using Interface

Hi,
I am encountered an error when i am using Customer Import Interface to add a new SHIP_TO address to a exist customer,

1 | oracle | AB | address2 | SHIP_TO |... ...
I am able to import top 2 rows correctly, as those 2 sites with same Site Name AA;one is BILL_TO site and another one is SHIP_TO address; I tested for few customers, it can run correncty if the BILL_TO address and SHIP_TO address are same.
But when running import for the third row to add another SHIP_TO address<AB&address2> to the exist customer<1&oracle>,the error raised, it gave error message like below:
The Customer Number has been used by another customer,import failed !
I am not too clear about this error,i just want to add a SHIP_TO address to the exist customer<1&oracle> and don't want to create a new customer.
what should i pay attention to? please give me some tips,,,,,,
Thanks a lot...

If any body know this Please give me your guidance
Thanking You,
Arun Darly

Hey Arun,
I have done the same job. Hope this code will help you.
using (SPSite siteCollectionOuter = new SPSite("Any SC url in which u want to create site."))
SPWebApplication webApp = siteCollectionOuter.WebApplication;
SPSiteCollection siteCollection = webApp.Sites;
SPContentDatabase contentDatabase =
siteCollection.WebApplication.ContentDatabases.Add(ServerName, New Database Name, Admin Name,
"Admin Password",25,50, 0);
//Above line will create new content DB
contentDatabase.Update();
siteCollection.WebApplication.Update();
SPSite newSite = contentDatabase.Sites.Add("New SC Url", "SC Title", SC Desctipyion, 1033,
15, "STS#0", "SC Admin", "Admin", "admin password",
"User 2", "User NAme", "Password");
//Ablove line will create new SC in to the Content DB
//add the upper limit for the site collection
SPQuota quota;
quota = new SPQuota {StorageMaximumLevel = 2510220};
newSite.Quota = quota;
// And update the site collection and the content database
newSite.RootWeb.Update();
contentDatabase.Update();

Hi. I'm new to this and thought I already posted this question, but don't see it anywhere. My question: If I get a new iPhone, can I still use the old one like an iPod and download music and apps?

If I buy a new iphone, can I still use the old one like an ipod with my iMac and download music, videos and apps?

Absolutely, Yes. I'm sure that many iPhones are "recycled" that way within a family.
The worst that will happen is that once in a while it will remind you to activate it as a phone. Just ignore the notifications.

When I change from "remember History" to "use custom settings" it defaults back to remember history when I close the window. How do I keep my new setting?

I need 3rd party cookies enabled for a specific site. When I try to save custom settings, it defaults back to remember history and I can't open what I need on the site

Enabling thirds-party cookies is the default and if there aren't any other changes made then Firefox will show "Remember History"
Choosing the "Use custom settings for history" setting doesn't make any changes.<br />
If Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting then that is an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings are not the default to make you aware that changes were If all History settings are default then you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History" and the custom settings are hidden.<br />
