Notified when the active page changes

Hello,
We have a panel that displays the content of script lables. A script label can be added to a page.
How do we determine the current page? The page might be selected from the from the pages panel and might not have any items on the page. Our ActiveSelectionObserver is not being called when the visible page is being changed.
Thanks.
P.

Well, I'll answer it...
There is no way to do it with ExtendScript and InDesign alone.
You can do it (and I do in one app I've written) with APID from Rorohiko. In fact, I use APID as my primary event engine.
Events I routinely use from APID:
subjectCreated - when a frame or something has been created.
subjectDelete - same, but
subjectModifed - when an object has been modified
subjectModifed-text - when a text object is reflown
docSelected
docDeselected
selected - a page item is selected
deselected - a page item is deselected

Event trapping when the active document changes

Hi all,
Apologies if this question has been asked / answered before. I don't get out much.
Is there any way, in ExtendScript, to get an event when the user brings a different document to the front? Something similar to the "beforeOpen" event, but which fires when the activeDocument changes?
Seems to me that something like that would be quite handy. But then, maybe I'm just odd.
Thanks,
Chuck

The countdown timers at File Storage Locker sites (fileserve, bitshare, freakshare, etc) will no longer countdown if not the active page (Since upgrading to firefox 5.0). How do make it countdown when not the active page?

Since upgrading to firefox 5.0, countdown timers at the various file locker sites will no longer countdown when the page is not the active page. I am sure it is not a site-side change as ALL the sites countdown timers freeze when not the active page. This has only happened since the upgrade.

For reading only as Bugzilla is Not a forum.
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652472 Bug#652472] - Higher setTimeout/setInterval clamping in inactive tabs breaks countdown scripts
In mean time you can try opening those links in a new window instead of a new tab.
Not all sites are affected as sites like Megaupload, Filesonic, depositfiles, Rapidshare work fine.

How do I post to a new page when the 1st page is full?

How do you create a bul. board where the posts go on a 2nd
page when the first page is filled ...and 3rd page when 2nd is
full, etc ... Maybe I can stick a wordcount in a while loop before
the CFOutPUT Tag? Is there such a variable that holds a word count
or better still, a line count?
thnx a billion, please, please help!

Check out this code-Use a cfc which will be the same for you

How do I quickly update the ActiveX automation references in my VIs when the ActiveX interface changes?

Hello all,
I joined a test automation team in the middle of a large project and
inherited a huge set of VIs (over 700) and associated architecture for
this automation (not to mention the several thousand TestStand
sequences). Another part of the project is being developed by our
customer, who is using VB 6.0 to create ActiveX components which we
need to use in LabView to access their hardware. They've already
invested a large amount of time developing these ActiveX components,
and they are not finished -- meaning the ActiveX interfaces will be
changing. Every time they send updated ActiveX components, I have to
re-write many, many VIs including updating a couple strict typdefs.
This process takes way too much time and is mind-numbing and prone to
error or omission.
Unfortunately I can't post any of the VIs because of a NDA. But
perhaps a bit more detailed explanation would help. TestStand calls a
VI to open and get an ActiveX reference for automation (which it stores
in a variant). It will pass this reference into any VI it calls to
perform specific functions through this ActiveX interface. For
example, one VI that may be called passes this automation refnum into
another, which passes it to another, which passes it into another to
get the actual ActiveX reference stored in that variant (through a
Variant To Data call with a strict typedef of the ActiveX component
wired to the type input). [See the attached image of this sample VI
hierarchy: the far left icon would represent TestStand, and the far
right is the strict typedef.] Any of the VIs in the chain might use
ActiveX Property or Invoke nodes, and it can break at any one of those
when the ActiveX component changes. It's easy to fix each one, but
since there are so many VIs it takes a very long time.
Is there any way at all to do a massive search/replace or something to
make the ActiveX references update? I realise that even though
property or method names stay the same from one version to the next,
they are different references. Is there a way to update these based on
name if you give it the base ActiveX reference?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Ben,
Unfortunately I can't post any VIs that would demonstrate the problem
because the ActiveX components are confidential. I'll try to develop
my own ActiveX dll that will demonstrate it, but in the meantime, in
hopes that another picture will help, I've attached an image of a block
diagram (with some names changed to protect confidential information)
of one of the lower level VIs from the hierarchy I posted. In this
example, the "Automation Refnum IN" is an input with a type definition
linked to the strict typedef based on the ActiveX automation dll that
has changed. I updated that typedef, but as you can see the output to
the "Class1" indicator is broken. If I delete the "Class1" indicator
and select Create->Indicator from the Class1 property node, and then
wire the new "Class1" indicator to the connector pane, the VI is fixed
-- at least at compile time. In most cases there is also a runtime
problem where the reference obtained by one of the intermediate
property nodes is null, so the property or method node that uses it
fails (e.g. "_VNManager.Networks" property returned is 0, so the
"_Networks.Network1" property node fails). To fix this problem, I have
to delete the wires between the property nodes, and one by one select a
different property/method, then select the correct property/method and
re-wire. There seems to be a bit of "jiggling the handle" to get it to
work though.
I don't know if the ActiveX developer changed anything in this class,
but if he did, he didn't change the name of this class. I would like
to have to modify the VI only if a class, property or method has
changed name or been removed.
Does that all make sense? Thanks for any pointers or help!

How to find the when the password is changed for a system User

Hi to all,
We have a test database where our application connects to system user. The application runs more than a month without any issues, But suddenly my system and sys password gets changed. I wonder how this would happen. I have checked with DBA_USERS to check whether the account gets locked, But the account is in the Open state.
I need to find out when the password gets changed for these users and who changed it? Is there any possible to trace it or we need to enable the auditing to find it in future.
Kindly let me know the possible ways.

I want the system automatic update my UDFs when the OnHand was changed.

I added two UDFs in table OITW to count the warehouse OnHand by CASES and Bottles. I want the system automatic update my UDFs when the OnHand was changed. Is there any way I can do it in database level instead in the application (too much places involved).

There is few ways how to do this:
- triger as David said, but I dont recomend it through SAP policy
- in stored procedure transaction notification by adding or updating document update your user field
- create job in SQL server which in specific interval recalculate the changes of onhand and update your user defined field
- create addon which will be over functiuonalities which may change the onhand value
I think that from SAP is possible only Addon, but the easist way is trigger and if you dont need it just in time but for example every 10 seccond, the better is job which cannot fail the standard SBO transaction (triger may and may be unsafe).
Hope it helps

Do I need to recreate the View when the underlying field changes?

Re: Do I need to recreate the View when the underlying field changes?
I did an ALTER TABLE1 to change FIELD1 from varchar(5) to varchar(7). TABLE1.FIELD1 is in VIEW1. When I do a SELECT * FROM VIEW1 it shows 7 characters. But when I look at VIEW1 in object explorer (after refreshing), FIELD1 is varchar(5). Do I care?
Should I recreate the VIEW1?

If you have refreshed using sp_refreshview stored procedure then you are good, if not then here you go...
The metadata for the view is not automatically updated when the tables are modified.
The fix is to either drop and re-create or alter the view or to use the sp_refreshview stored procedure.
Example :
EXEC sp_RefreshView View_Tablename

You must put in the required information. If you do not have it, you must get it from the original owner of the phone. If you have forgotten your iCloud password, you can reset it at:
https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid
There is no such thing as an activation "bypass". Activation Lock is a security feature. It wouldn't be that secure is you could bypass it, wouldn't it?

How to change the homepage for a new tab when the home page of the initial tab and subsesequently opened tab are different?

Any search toolbar and changes to search engines can take place by downloading and installing software; usually "free" software from the internet. Babylon can be downloaded and installed by itself or as a "ride-along" when installing/updating some software from the internet. Always look for an opportunity during the installation to un-check boxes that will install "ride-along" items that you do not want. Firefox installation does not include such "ride-along" items.

Call a function when the active document is closed

Hi friends
I have a portion of my script (at true a specific function) that I´d need to be executed every time the user close the app.activeDocument in Photoshop.
I know there´s a Photoshop script called "Script Event Manager" where we can associate actions and scripts with events (like closing the document). I´d not like to use this script because..as I told...it´s not my entire script to be runned when closing a file..but only a function.
Tried to search in the Script Event Manager for any event called "onClose" () but sure there´s nothing.
How could I insert an event in the body of my own script that calls a function every time user close the active document?
Thank you a lot for the help
Best Regards
Gustavo.

As I said before the close event is really not that useful. In addition to the document already being closed the event descriptor will only have the path to the closed file if it was saved as part of the close event.
But if you want to play around with this to see if it will be helpful to you here is one way. You will need to add the notifer. This only needs to be done once unless it is removed.
app.notifiersEnabled = true;
app.notifiers.add( "Cls ",new File('~/desktop/closeEventHandler.jsx') );
Then for the event handler script, something like this.
try {
    if (arguments.length >= 2) {
    var filePath;
    var desc = arguments[0];
    if( desc.hasKey( stringIDToTypeID('in') ) ) filePath = desc.getPath(stringIDToTypeID('in'));
    if( filePath != undefined ) alert( decodeURI( filePath ) );
} catch (e) {}

How do you make page 1 the active page?

I am trying to write a script to perform a data merge, followed by a find/replace, page add, and finally export. I can get it to perform the merge and find/replaces that are needed.
When I add a new page manually I normally select the first page in the pages window then click add a new page at the bottom. Doing that makes every page after that go to 2 pages(like an open book). I don't know how to do this in the script, what I tried below didn't work. It adds a new page at the end of the document and that page is the active one on screen.
app.activeDocument.pages.item(0).select();
app.activeDocument.pages.add();
After the merge, editing gets really slow, taking 15-20 per letter I add or delete.The only way i've found to have it edit like you'd expect is by exporting it to the IDML format then reopening that file in InDesign. I haven't been able to find much on exporting via a script. I've seen exports similar to:
app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_MARKUP, newDoc, false);
But I don't know if that will work or not.
I'm very new to scripting in InDesign. I'm using InDesign CS5.5.

Hi again
This could work for the IDML export
main();
exit();
function main() {
          myDoc = app.activeDocument;
          f = new File("/Users/afile.idml");     // here you have to adapt it for your needs.
          app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.INDESIGN_MARKUP,f, false);

How to trigger a refresh of a dropdown list when the selection is changed

Hi,
This is a general ExtendScript question, but since I'm working with FM, I'll ask here first. I have a bit of a paradox here and I'm not sure of the best way to handle it.
I have a dialog box with a dropdown list, where I want to refresh certain controls when the user changes the selection in the list (dropdownList.onChange). This includes refreshing the contents of the list itself. However, the problem is, as soon as I try to refresh the list contents, it triggers onChange again. So, if I put the call to refresh the box within the onChange handler, it results in an endless loop, because my refresher function triggers onChange when it refreshes the list.
Does anyone know a better methodology, where I can safely trigger a refresh of a dropdown list within the list's own onChange event handler? I really wish that onChange was reserved for a user action only, or there was at least some property to that effect.

Hi Russ,
you can stop that with "stopPropagation()"
You can find this in "Javascript Tools Guide" on page 150.

Auto numbering changes when the font size changes

Help.
I get files made in InDesign CS4 that have paragraph styles assigned to create numbered lists within the body. They are fine as they are when they are opened.
When I make changes they often- not always- change to 'continue from previous number' instead of staying 'start at 1'. The changes I have make are to change the document size, the font size and the margins.
Is there something I am doing that allows them to change, or is there something that I can do to keep them from changing?

Hi,
Your doubt is not yet clear.
I think u have not used smartstyles just changed the Font.
To Test it if data is not coming from driver program,then just excute the smartform-(Press F8) .
The Print Page will be seen to you.
Accordingly you can undrstand whether it is decreased or not.
Affable,
Arbind
