!!! Poll about UI elements and layout

In the next time my task will be rewrite an existing tutorial about UI elements and layout designing. Therefore i would like to start a poll about topics which you as the developers would like to read about.
So please write everything what you got in mind about this topic.

Hi,
There is a good help file in NWDS related to UI elements and API's if you can provide simple examples how to create what layout will look good the easiest way to dovelop for each user elements ( Keeping pragma in to context)such as Tables, trees, radio buttons, dropdown boxes, trays etc.. most frequestly used ones..

Poll about Ui elements and layout designing

In the next few months I will be rewriting an existing tutorial about UI elements and layout designing. The tutorial describes how an application developer should
create an attractive and user-friendly UI with Web Dynpro Foundation.
Therefore, I need your input on topics which you, as developers, would like to read about regarding layouting and UI design.
So please write anything that occurs to you on this topic.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Alvert,
one thing I have noticed in the existing tutorials, that is some tips on the layout containers. Introduction on different type of layout, how to match spacing of two layout container in the same view, meaning of different properties of diff layouts. I have seen normally if I add two containers, the spacing between one's element is different from the other. It causes problem for the total view lookup.
Will let you know again, whenever something comes into mind.

Hi Bhuvaneswari,
For Creating Adobe Interactive form, you need the below configuration:
Server side:
Server running on ABAP/Java stack configured with ADS
For ADS Configuration, follow the below link:
https://service.sap.com/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=0000894009&nlang=E
Client Side:
The required Reader version depends on your usage situation.
For SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe, we generally recommend the following:
Adobe Acrobat Version 7.0. 9 or higher
Adobe Reader Version 7.0.9 or higher
If you require forms for one of the scenarios listed below, you must use Reader 8.1.
These are:
Forms in Web Dynpro applications that are integrated at runtime using xACF (Active Components Framework) ZCI (Zero Client Installation).
Forms in scenarios that use digital signatures.
If you use interactive forms in Web Dynpro for Java and these interactive forms are included using ZCI (Zero Client Installation) at runtime, you must read Note 1055911. Note 1055911 specifies the required reader version and contains further detailed information.
Reward points if found helpful.

Hello there, there is a rare window that keeps popping up every time i start Logic. I'd like to send a screenshot... anyway, it's a "tempo" window with strange layout about midi effects and so,.... is it normal? How can i improve this? Thanks.

hello there, there is a rare window that keeps popping up every time i start Logic. It's a "tempo" window with strange layout about midi effects and so,.... is it normal? How can i improve this? Thanks.

Hmm, that's some sort of MIDI Arpeggiator setup in your environment. Strange that you don't know it, this has to be custom-installed, it is not part of the standard setup.
You can do two things about it:
1.unlock your current screenset (shift-L), then close the (Bass Driver) window, then relock the screenset (shift-L). Next time you open up this project you won't see the Bass Driver, but it is still in the project.
2. You can remove the whole page: open the Environment (cmd-8), then go to the dropdown menu arrow top left of the Environment window and select the Bass Driver layer. If it is selected, dropdown again and choose Delete. Now Save your project under a different name (Save As...), so that you still keep the Bass Driver setup in the original project. If you don't need to keep it, you can simply Save.

Very big problem with JSF about FORM and "id=" for HTML form's elements and

I have discovered a very big problem with JSF about FORM and "id=" for HTML form's elements and java instruction "request.getParameterNames()".
Suppose you have something like this, to render some datas form a Java Beans :
<h:dataTable value="#{TablesDb2Bean.myDataDb2ListSelection}" var="current" border="2" width="50%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" style="text-align: center">
<h:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Name"/>
</f:facet>
<h:outputText id="nameTableDb2" value="#{current.db2_name_table}"/>
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
Everything works fine...
Suppose you want to get the name/value pairs for id="nameTableDb2" and #{current.db2_name_table} to process them in a servlet. Here is the HTML generated :
<td><span <span class="attribute-name">id=<span class="attribute-value">"j_id_jsp_1715189495_22:0:nameTableDb2">my-table-db2-xxxxx</span></td>
You think you can use the java instructions :
Enumeration NamesParam = request.getParameterNames();
while (NomsParam.hasMoreElements()) {
String NameParam = (String) NamesParam.nextElement();
out.println("<h4>"++NameParam+ "+</h4>);
YOU ARE WRONG : request.getParameterNames() wants the syntax *name="nameTableDb2" but JSF must use id="nameTableDb2" for "<h:outputText"... So, you can't process datas in a FORM generated with JSF in a Servlet ! Perhaps I have made an error, but really, I wonder which ?

While I certainly appreciate ejb's helpful responses, this thread shows up a difference in perspective between how I read the forum and how others do. Author ejb is correct in advising you to stay inside JSF for form processing if form processing is what you want to do.
However, I detect another aspect to this post which reminds me of something Marc Andreesen once said when he was trying to get Netscape off the ground: "there's no such thing as bad HTML."
In this case, I interpret ungar's request as a new feature request. Can I phrase it like this?
"Wouldn't it be nice if I could render my nice form with JSF but, in certain cases, when I REALLY know what I'm doing" just post out to a separate servlet? I know that in this case I'll be missing out on all the nice validation, conversion, l10n, i18n, ajax, portlet and other features provided by JSF".
If this is the case, because it really misses the point of JSF, we don't allow it, but we do have an issue filed for it
https://javaserverfaces-spec-public.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=127
If you can't wait for it to be fixed, you could decorate the FormRenderer to fix what you want.
I have an example in my JSF book that shows how to do this decoration. http://bit.ly/edburnsjsf2

No volume control elements and/or devices found

Hi, I recently installed Arch Linux and I followed the tutorials on how to configure it. At this moment I have Gnome installed and it is working fine, I only have one problem.
Every time if I try to access volume control I get the following error:
"No volume control elements and/or devices found"
I'm relatively new to Linux so it might be me just being stupid(Maybe I just don't have the right packages installed) but I've searched the web and I didn't find anything that could help, I also searched this site but there are only a few things about sound problems. I think the problem is caused because Linux is not detecting my sound card (its an on board sound card) or maybe I have not given the command to detect it/activate it. In Google I've found that 'lsmod' and 'lspci' commands are for detecting drivers, so I executed those in my terminal and put them here, I hope this might help fixing my problem.

Gonna reinstall it, things usually go better the second time.
make sure u have adding the user to audio group in order to access sound device.
gpasswd -a user audio
Yes, I think that was the problem. Anyways, I reinstalled Arch Linux and everything is working fine now.

Order of elements and events.

INTRO
Hi Oracle community.
A while ago I started a thread here on the forum where I had put three different subjects to be treated. The user jsmith guided me saying that I was supposed to separate things, dividing each subject in a separate thread. The original discussion is at the following link:
Interesting things, however, unknown? StackPane, animations and filters.
ABOUT
So in this discussion, I will be talking about input events and maybe about event filters. I created a JavaFX 8 (b123) application that checks the mouse click on certain nodes. Basically I have a panel of buttons. Behind this panel, I have a scroll pane with rectangles. The rectangles are contained within a Group, and the buttons are in a VBox. The Group is set as ScrollPane content. VBox and ScrollPane are within a StackPane, which becomes the root of scene graph. If we observe the nodes tree, we'll find the following scenario:

THE PROBLEM
I wish I could click the mouse on VBox buttons, but also in the scroll pane, and in it's internal contents (the rectangles). I tried changing the VBox mouseTransparent property to true, and modify mouseTransparent to false on each VBox button, but that did not work. I've been reading the JavaFX documentation talking about routing events, and found the following:
The route can be modified as event filters and event handlers along the route process the event. Also, if an event filter or event handler consumes the event at any point, some nodes on the initial route might not receive the event.
Could it be that VBox is filtering events so they do not reach ScrollPane? Or is this being done by StackPane in some other manner? Does anyone have any idea what I could do?
In any case, I thank you for your attention.

You might need to modify the event dispatch tree so that the events get beyond the VBox. I'm not saying this is the right thing to do, but something worth looking at.
root.setEventDispatcher(new EventDispatcher() {
@Override
public Event dispatchEvent(Event event, EventDispatchChain tail) {
tail.append(group.getEventDispatcher());
return tail.dispatchEvent(event);
There is some info on event processing at Handling JavaFX Events: Processing Events | JavaFX 2 Tutorials and Documentation

Bridge comes with Photoshop but not with Elements.

Integration of Premier Elements and PS Bridge

Hi, I have PS CS5 and am thinking of buying Premier Elements 10, which looks very impressive, I thought it was all presets but am realizing now that there is a lot of freedom to the setttings.. anyway. My question is this, is there any integration between the brosers in the two aps? Can I import data like keywords, etc., from Bridge into the Premier Elements browser, or visa-versa? What about with Premier 9 or CS5, or does it even have a built in browser/catalog function?
Thanks,

The Organizer and the Bridge are supposed to use similar metadata. Unfortunately, for basic things like Keyword Tags and Albums, that's usually not the case, so I'd assume they won't use each other's data.
Likewise, Premiere Elements and Premiere CS5 use very few of the same browser functions. It's usually best to choose one or the other program. You're not going to be able to move your project easily between these two very different apps.
Or when you say CS5 are you referring to Photoshop CS5? If so, yes, you can certainly create graphics in Photoshop and use them in Premiere Elements. However, they don't, for the most part, share the same catalogs and keyword tags.

Ok, since this forum is for Photoshop Standard and Photoshop Extended, we don't know much about Photoshop Elements. There is a Photoshop Elements forum and I'll link it for you since they best know how to field your questions.

Good luck on it!

Background Task on Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer "hangs"

I recently upgraded my software from Elements 10 to Elements 12 and had a bit of trouble. Apparently both 10 and 12 have a way of launching an executable in the background which tends to get "stuck" on my system. I believe the problem may be related to the network configuration and software mix I live with, but I need to confirm my suspecions and find a way to control the problem. Here is what I know... I have always experienced a lot of problems using Elements with my NAS device which is a 1TB usb 2.0 connected disk system attached to my Linksys E3000 Router. When I got the router, the BIOS software did not correctly support NTFS file systems, but subsequent updates eventually made this possible if you formatted the removable drive on a system in NTFS, you could then hang it on the router and "see" the contents, serve them via Windows Media Player, or iTunes, etc., etc. from a computer atteched to the network, or via wirless directly off the router. I archived all my photos out on this file system and have successfully indexed it for use with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere Elements Organizer, but... When I went to install Elements 12 software I tried to install it without first removing Elements 10, and on a system which had run Elements 10 since the last full reoboot. During the install of 12 under "shared services install" the installation process "Hung" on a background task with a name like "AdobeElementsAnalyzer.exe" which only shows up in Windows 7 task manager as a running process, not as a full program, but because the file was locked by the system, the install hung. I eventually figured out that I needed to start the install of Elements 12 software immediately after having rebooted so that this program was not present in the background, and succeeded in completing an install of Elements 12 on my Windows 7 X64 system. This system required a "special" software download for Premiere Elements, but not for Photoshop Elements which is only apparently avaliable under 32bit emulation mode. I finally got the "shared components" portion of the X64 Premiere Elements to complete an install, and then set about verifying the onversion/upgrade of the indexes to my photos and video stored out on the NAS. The same rogue task which prevented me from doing the install showed up agian, taking all the system resources away from my dual processor Intel chip and refusing to let go. I was forced to terminate it from the task manager. I strongly suspect that my "issues" are in part due to the extrordinary network latency imposed by the drive connection I'm using to index my photos and videos, and I'm looking for a better approach to using the editors against my master catalog of files, as well as figruing out just what I need to do to insure that all the files I have stored on the drive are accessible by the organizer when I need to pull a copy to work on.
A complication is that I have two "legacy" Windows XP systems on my network, a reasonably fast Windows Vista Business desktop, and the Windows 7 X64 processor system which is the most powerful system I have. The Windows file security enhancements to NTFS changed from XP, to Vista, to Windows 7, so files which get saved to the NAS disk inherit a variety of different levels of security under windows. I have occasionally gone to one of my old XP boxes and "wiped" the security settings by resetting everything via Windows XP. Because the NAS is so slow, this process can take several hours and must not be interrupted by attempts to do anything affecting the NAS by any of my other networked computers. To avoid problems with my photo archive, it makes sense to me to do all my editing on copies which have been extracted from the NAS archive and stored on the C: drive (boot drive) of my Win X64 system.
What I seriously need to know is this: When/If I define a "watched" portion of my file system, rather than taking the time to manually import every little change to my photo archives, can I expect the Photoshop Elements Organizer to work properly as long as everything stored on the NAS is stored via the same system which runs Elements with the same active "user" in control so that all the windows 7 file security settings putting stuff on the mapped NAS drive remain properly secured under Win 7 X64? Frankly I don't care if the files appear "read only" to every other system and identity on my network, but I do need to be able to "see" them. I have been able to view slide shows and movies stored on the NAS via both my networked iPad, my Apple TV, and using Samsung's funky android and Windows compatible software. Frankly, I doubt that Microsoft or Apple has full understanding and control of the environment where there is no host "server" other than the eprom based stuff my Linksys E3000 loads to emulate early Windows Media Management architecture, but I mange to get it to work as long as I don't try anything sophisticated with the file permissions. As a fall back, can I expect individual "imported" bits out on the NAS to remain stable if indexed and used only by the Elements Organizer running on my Win 7 X64 system?
I am seriously considering converting an old WinXP desktop into a UNIX box which could be configured as a "Server" for everything stored on the NAS and be done with my problems in return for the power required to run the server all the time so stuff is there when I need it. Any recommendations?

Adobe hasn't said whether it officially supports PSE 7 on Windows 7. But reports are starting to trickle in that PSE 7 works fine on Windows 7 for most people, though a couple people have reported crashes. My PSE 7 seems to work fine, though I primarily use PSE 8 now. This is all very preliminary, and we'll learn more as more people post here.

Hi When going from Develop module to print module a white boarder appears on screen which also prints via my epson r3000 printer. I can get round this by exporting photo to Elements and printing from there but can i get rid of the boarder and print from lightroom?

In the printer driver (accessed through the Page Setup button) set the Advanced tab to borderless. Then in the right hand panel under Layout set all the margins to zero.

Cost Elements and Cost Centers in a service order

Hello Finance Friends....
I am inquiring about something that has been happening and I can not find the answer as to how. I spoke with the finance consultant and he seems to think it is the valuation class being changed but the valuation class has not been changed at all....so here is my problem as I am at a lost...it is an intermittent problem....
I have a service order for material to be repaired by the customer...lets say coming in for Ansi Calibration with repair.
The technician will issue material to the service order for repair....if the technician does not end up using the material for repair he will reverse the goods issue and then the material goes back to stock...
in my scenerio ....when the material is issued it is under GL account (cost elelment) 5XXXXXXX. When the reversal was done it went to 6XXXXXXXX. So when the DP90 transaction is done (billing request) it gives the error for cost center XXXX cost elelment 6XXXXXXX and can not complete the transaction DP90. The error is the Material combination for DP90....this works in others....these are just one offs that it is happening to and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to why it happens... I have tried reverse the transaction to put the material back to the service order and then manually reverse myself using the original GL account number it was issued on (5XXXXXX)...however when doing the DP90 it still reads the 6XXXXXXX cost element and cost center XXX. Keep in mind that the valuation class or material type has not been changed.
Where is the GL account and Cost center being derived from in the service order? What can I check?
Thanks in advance....

Hi,
Check in T030 table for OBYC assignments and TKA3A table for OKB9 settings.
Also check account assignment tab of PO.

Generic questions about CMYK profiles and proofing

I just read a big book about color management and am trying to make it happen but it seems that in real life I can't get good results.
I have my scanner profiled and it produces aRGB docs.
All good and fine. The images look good on the monitor (which also is profiled.)
Now these images I place inside InDesign as aRGB.
And at some point comes the time for soft proofing.
So I start experimenting with different CMYK profiles.
First question: Should I already do a CMYK conversion for my images in Photoshop or is it ok to do it in InDesign when exporting to PDF?
Coated Fogra27/39, ISO Coated v2 and Euroscale Coated v2 seem to change the colors only slightly.
But when I turn on "Simulate Paper Color" all hell breaks loose. The paper color seems to be always a cold horrible grey and the image is darkened and dulled. It looks like in need of serious color correction.
And further how do these generic profiles know about my paper color anyway?
So maybe this feature should only be used if the profile is custom made for a specific printer and paper.
Second question: has anyone succesfully used the simulation of paper color with a custom made profile?
But it seems that custom profiles are something I can only use at home because the printing service providers seem to be quite unaware of profiling their machines for a specific paper (or profiling it at all).
They tell me to send a "pure" CMYK file without any profiles. But that is impossible because to transform an RGB in CMYK one MUST use a profile.
Third question: Which kind of profile should I use when I am instructed to provide a profile-less CMYK document?
And finally what is the purpose of proofing in the first place if I don't know exactly the profile created for the combination of the output machine and output paper? This issue becomes clearer when using (slightly) colored paper.

>First question: Should I already do a CMYK conversion for my images in Photoshop or is it ok to do it in InDesign when exporting to PDF?
You can save the conversion until you make the PDF if you like, especially if you don't know the correct profile in advance, but you lose the ability to fine-tune and individual image.
>But when I turn on "Simulate Paper Color" all hell breaks loose. The paper color seems to be always a cold horrible grey and the image is darkened and dulled. It looks like in need of serious color correction.
I think this is mostly a case of your eye accommodating to the brightness of the screen. I'm not sure how to avoid this, and I generally don't use the simulate paper color. Comparing my screen to the real printed output without the simulation seems pretty close. Even a generic profile makes an assumption about the color of the paper stock, but a custom profile would be more accurate.
>Third question: Which kind of profile should I use when I am instructed to provide a profile-less CMYK document?
As you already said, you can't do the conversion without knowing the profile. What they are asking is that you don't embed that profile when you do the conversion to PDF. This means they can use a file prepared for the wrong profile and not risk further conversion at the RIP which would create rich blacks from you 100% K elements (type), but the colors wouldn't be 100% correct unless the profile you chose for conversion originally matched the press.
Generic profiles are a quasi-standard that most presses can match, but may not be able to produce quite as wide a color gamut as a custom profile, but many presses don't have a custom profile available. You should ask for a "contract proof" to check the color before the press runs, and if possible go to the printer for the make-ready and check the color on the press before the whole run is printed. There is a LOT of color control available to a skilled press operator, and expect some variation through the run.

Can seeded Elements and Balance have different Date Track

hi,
The Elements created in our instance is date tracked to 01-JAN-1900 and the seeded balance date tracked to 01-APR-2005. Can seeded Elements and Balances have different date track both being seeded. Example Element is "PF INFORMATION" and Balance Named by "Leave Encashment"
How to resolve this problem when I am trying to add seeded Balance which is date tracked to 01-APR-2005 to Element date Tracked to "01-JAN-1900". I am not able to find the Balance in that Element as balance is date tracked later than Element.
If I want to add custom Element which is date tracked to 01-JUN-2002 and Seeded Balance which is date tracked to 01-JUN-1950. Since in this case i am not able to see the Custom Element in the Balance screen.
Thanks
Ram

you are not allowed to add feeds to a seeded balance type.
Can the dates be different? Sure. Look to your own dates.
By the way, why bothering about dates in 2005 and 1900, if you want to run a payroll now?
