One Display at a Time?

Apologies if this is a repeat - I couldn't find anything in the archives. I have a MacBookPro running Leopard and a 17" Apple Display. All is working beautifully but I have an OCD problem. Can I somehow turn off the display on my laptop while working on the 17" display? The cords necessitate the computer and display being in close proximity to each other and it's annoying having both displays on. If I close the lid on the laptop partway (which works) it sometimes closes too far and everything goes to sleep. In the system preferences the only option I see are mirror displays or not. Any advice appreciated!

Yvonne, I'd suggest you ask again in the MacBook Pro area. This is the Mac Pro forum, and what is possible with a Mac Pro may be very different from what a MacBook Pro can do (particularly since there's no screen to close on a Mac Pro).
Regards.

How can I display one line at a time on a PPT slide

I am using OFFICE for the Mac (2008).
In the past, I have known how to do this using PPT on a Windows PC..
But something has changed and I can no longer figure out how to get each line on a PPT slide to appear one line at a time every time I click it.
It's not that difficult, but I can't figured out where they moved the "Appear" option.
I am NOT using KEYNOTE, but PowerPoint from OFFICE for the Mac (2008)
Can someone help me.
Thanks,
Tom

Since this is a Keynote discussion forum, there may be no one here that knows. I personally hate PP and could care less about how to make one line display at a time. It is easy on Keynote and that is all I need to know. You might want to look for a PP forum and ask there.

How do i change the display in ADE to a single page view instead of two pages side by side? I find it distracting and prefer to look at one page at a time.

You can increase the font size and automatically page view changes. Go to menubar; Reading -> PDF View or Epub Text Size (depending upon the ebook) and increase the size.

How do I display font one character at a time?

Right now the way I present my font is it all appears
instanenous. I don't know if this is even possible or not, but I
would like to find a way to have the font be displayed one
character at a time over the course of a variable amount of
seconds. For example, some of you might recognize this font
presentation from the game "Phoenix Wright" for the Nintendo DS:
Click
here
for example.
That is the font effect I'm trying to capture - where the
font is presented in a character by character fashion. Now
obviously I could achieve this by putting a new letter on every
frame, but let's be realistic - that's not the logical way to do
it. Does anyone know the code/options involved in making this font
display stylization logically possible? Bonus points if you know
how to make the characters mouths move with the sychronized font
and then stop once the text stops =).

Place a dynamic textfield on your stage and label it myText.
In frame one place the following code,to increase the write
speed lower the value of 100 in the setinterval call:
myText.text="";
var dText="My text I want to display";
var dTmr=setInterval(ShowNextChar,100,0);
var cPos=0;
stop();
function ShowNextChar()
myText.text=myText.text+dText.substr(cPos,1);
cPos++;
if (cPos==dText.length) clearInterval(dTmr);
}

HT5019 MacPro laptop display and 2 external monitors (three displays). Can I have more than one application displayed at a time?

I would like to have my MacPro laptop display and 2 external monitors (three displays). Question, how can I have more than one application displayed at a time? IE: I would like email on one monitor, Finder on my laptop, and iTunes on the other. Possible?
With extended desktop, it appears that I can only have one application presenting at a time. Sort of defeats the purpose of having multiple displays.
I am using the HDMI and the mini HDMI connectors.

How can one display 1 record at a time

How can one display a single record at a time.
The next record should be displayed on the press of a button.
Thanks in advance

Vijaya,
I have 3 regions, each contains a check box item,
the label for which is dynamicaly generated through a SQL Select.
( &P1_ANSWER1. P1_ANSWER1 is the hidden item name)
In the Region Source,
I have put
SELECT col1 from (SELECT col1, row_number() over(ORDER BY col1) row_number from prototype) WHERE row_number = :P1_QUESTION_NO;
SELECT col3 from (SELECT col3, row_number() over(ORDER BY col3) row_number from prototype) WHERE row_number = :P1_QUESTION_NO;
for each of the reqion that contains these items,
Here the table is prototype and P1_QUESTION_NO is the hidden item.
As directed I have included under Processes (after submit and computations) on button "Next Record" clicked:
:P1_QUESTION_NO := ::P1_QUESTION_NO + 1;
When I am doing this, the label seems to blank out.
Thanks

Displaying one record at a time

Is any body able to help me? I need to display one record at a time from a Select statement.
Could I copy the results of the Select query from a table into an array for later display or is there a better alternative.
Please, any part knowledge with regard to the above would be usefull.
Regards
Eddie

What application do you want to use to display the data?
You can use "rownum" in your SQL statement to ensure that you only get record N of a query. Asktom has a good article on this sort of windowing
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:::::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID:127412348064
More commonly, however, you'll write a SQL query that returns all the rows, fetch a small number, display those to the user, and then fetch more records.

My Itunes will load on Apple TV and play, but only plays one song at a time. It will not shuffle or continuously play an album. All of the songs display, but will only play one at a time...home sharing is on. Any suggestions?

My Itunes info will load onto Apple TV, but will only play one song at a time of my music. Home sharing is on, airplay is on, router info has been reset. What am I missing? It has never done this before....

Force oraclexe to only display one page at all times

<pre>Hallo everyone. In oracleXE,when logged in , if you have the same page open in two or more browser windows . the pages change session state.
This is normal behaviour but for my requirements this could be dangerous (a user thinking he has submitted some information when actually he has submitted the information set in session state by the other page).
How can you restrict/force OracleXE to show only one page at all times?.
Or, how can you restrict Oraclxe so that certain pages can be shown in only one browser window at a time</pre>

Hallo Dietmar,
The page that i use,uses a view with instead of triggers to update the underlying tables.
I do use dml for updating the view, but I use an application item to store the
number of the current form accessed. ( a form that is used in the process that i
have to automate) .
If two browser windows are open and the application item is changed, it will be set
to the value in the window that updated the item last.
When i open the first browser window and save the form, the value of the
application item used will be the value set by the window that updated the form
last.
How can I make it possible for a user to open two browser windows in one
session, without this problem, or if that isn't possible, how can i restrict the user
from opening more than one application page in the same session?

Reading a string one character at a time

Hi,
I'm hoping you use SmallBasic for year 10 exam students at my school. But, I have found a problem I cannot solve.
I need to be able to read one character at a time from a string (txt file) and convert each char to its ACSII code.
How do to I read one char at a time from a string to enable processing?
Thanks for your help.

Here is an over the top solution that will display the Hex value of the character codes of every character in the file.
TextWindow.Write("Enter full file name: ")
filnam = TextWindow.Read()
contents = File.ReadContents(filnam) 'read the entire file
TextWindow.Clear()
TextWindow.WriteLine("File Name: " + filnam)
TextWindow.WriteLine("Offset: 0")
col = 0
row = 5
TextWindow.CursorLeft = col
TextWindow.CursorTop = row
For i= 1 To Text.GetLength(contents)
ch = Text.GetSubText(contents, i,1)
chVal = Text.GetCharacterCode(ch)
ConvertToHex()
TextWindow.CursorLeft = col
If chVal < 32 Then
TextWindow.Write(".")
Else
TextWindow.Write(ch)
EndIf
TextWindow.CursorLeft = 20 + 2 + (col * 3)
TextWindow.Write(Text.GetSubText(hexstr,1,2))
col = col + 1
If col = 8 Then
col = col + 1
EndIf
If col > 16 Then
col = 0
row = row + 1
If row > 20 then
TextWindow.CursorTop = 23
TextWindow.CursorLeft = 25
TextWindow.Write("< < < Press ENTER to Continue > > >")
TextWindow.Read()
TextWindow.Clear()
TextWindow.WriteLine("File Name: " + filnam)
TextWindow.WriteLine("Offset: " + i)
row = 5
EndIf
TextWindow.CursorTop = row
EndIf
EndFor
TextWindow.WriteLine("")
TextWindow.WriteLine("")
Sub ConvertToHex
HexValue[0] = "0"
HexValue[1] = "1"
HexValue[2] = "2"
HexValue[3] = "3"
HexValue[4] = "4"
HexValue[5] = "5"
HexValue[6] = "6"
HexValue[7] = "7"
HexValue[8] = "8"
HexValue[9] = "9"
HexValue[11] = "A"
HexValue[12] = "B"
HexValue[13] = "C"
HexValue[14] = "D"
HexValue[15] = "E"
val = chVal
hexstr = "h" 'Need to force Small basic to concatenate rather than add
While val > 0
hexPos = Math.Remainder(val, 16)
hexstr = HexValue[hexPos] + hexstr
val = Math.Floor(val / 16)
EndWhile
For hi = Text.GetLength(hexstr) To 2

Can we open more than one "folder" at a time in Bridge?

When I click on a folder icon, the images appear in the Bridge workspace. Then when I click on another, different, folder icon, the previously displayed images are gone, and only the second folder's images appear. A priori, this seems to be an unnecessary limitation on functionality, and therefore I presume that I just do not know how to do what is called for: To use the functionality of Bridge for more than the contents of only one folder at a time.
Yes, I know that I could, using, say, Windows Explorer, create a sort of "megafolder" into which I copied the contents of several folders, but this seems to be a kludge which should not be necessary.
Did the designers of Bridge not contemplate that users would want to operate on the contents of more than one folder at a time? I presume that I am just ignorant of how to achieve what should be a normal functionality; seeing more than the contents of just one folder at a time.
Please alleviate my ignorance.

Quick way: Press Ctrl+N (Cmd-N mac) to open a new Bridge window. Open the second folder there.
Not so quick way: Select menu File => New Window. Open the second folder there.
If you MUST view all of the files in one window, all of your files MUST be in folders nested within the same parent folder. In that case:
1) View the parent folder in bridge.
2) Open the Filter palette.
3) Click the microscopic button in the top left corner of the Filter palette, which looks like a folder with a "No" symbol on it. The tooltip label for that button is, "Click to view all items...".

Perform VENDOR EVALUATION for MORE THAN ONE VENDORS at a time

Hello all,
Please guide for any process where i can perform Vendor Evaluation for MORE THAN ONE vendors AT A TIME.
At my location there are around thousand vendors, which are to be evaluated, and difficult to perform the evaluation process one-by-one.
(ME61/ME62/ME63)
Detailed replies with various possibilities would be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Joy Ghosh

The vendor evaluation for some thousand vendors at the same time has already been in SAP long before they developed LSMW. The purpose of LSMW is to load data from a legacy system, of course you can (mis-)use it for a lot other things.
But you should not always use LSMW if you are to lazy to go thru the SAP standard menu to find a transaction like ME6G
There you define a job that runs RM06LBAT report.
You first have to define a selection variant for this report. this can be done in SE38 by entering the report name, select variant, clicking display, then entering a name for the variant and clicking Create.

Master_detail for more than one record at a time

Hi,
How can i display master_detail records for more than one records at a time, for example, i have two tables A and B , A has username and role and B has username and profile. here i wanted to display 10 users at a time on my 6i form with username, role and profile.
i have created a master-detail relation ship with these tables when i'm executing F8 on blcok A , it displays 10 records on BlockA but, only one at a time on block B, how can i display all corresponding records on block B at a time.
Thanks for your help.Bcj

Thanks Roberts, that was realy informative due to some doubts i would like to confirm my requirements , i have two blocks A and B and each master record has only one detail record. but i wanted to display at least 10 master_detail relationships(records) on the form at a time, i would like to know is it possible to do without creating any table or view for example,
data in table A,
username role
AAA R1
BBB R2
CCC R3
data in table B,
username profile
AAA P1
BBB P2
CCC P3
i wanted to display it on form like below,
username role profile
AAA R1 P1
BBB R2 P2
CCC R3 P3
Also would like to know that how can i select data from dba_users, any restriction is there on forms 6i, i can select it on sqlplus.
Thanks Again, Bcj

When I open an event, including flagged items, the photos appear one by one, not as thumbnails, so I can't export more than one phot at a time. How do I get iPhoto to show the thumbnails?

I've tried rebuilding the thumbnail database, but that hasn't helped.

What version of iPhoto and system are you running?
Try moving the Zoom slider at the bottom of the iPhoto window all the way to the left. Does that let more than one photo display in the window?

How can I display the elapsed time of the course using Advanced Actions in Captivate?

I have a Captivate course which is approximately 35 minutes in length. On each slide I would like to display to the user, the current elapsed time.
EXAMPLE:
25/35 minutes complete
The 35 would remain static, so I have been working with the elapsed time system variable in CP: elapsed:$$cpInfoElapsedTimeMS$$
I can't seem to get the variable to properly display the elapsed time in minutes, rather than miliseconds. Attached is a screen shot of my advanced action.
Can anyone provide guidence regarding how I should structure this differntly?

I talked about that Timer widget in that blog post and pointed to another one:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/timer-widget-to-stress-your-learners
If you are on CP7, you'll have this widget also as an interaction, which means it is compatible with HTML5 output. Amd there is also an hourglass interaction, with similar functionality but... did not blog about that one
PS: Check Gallery\Widgets to find all widgets. Default path is set to Interactions
