Pre-selected Mcafee = a true way to the heart of your users?

I often considered why most installers don't offer more things to be installed? I actually think that the money Adobe get from McAfee is too little and that really, they should pre-select a whole bunch of additional software that users _must_ want... especially those in a hurry with little time to de-select pre-selected non-essential additional software options that have a large impact on how my computer operates, these people need a lot of additional software, well, at least you could assume that by default when they are updating a browser plugin?

Not going to argue you with you Pat that other people also do it, I will argue that that doesn't make it okay and also, that this is a browser plugin that is pretty essential to getting around the internet (and has been for the past 10 years with at least video playback), unlike the applications you list.
Unless there are some laws against such practices, we just have to live with that fact, and be very, very careful when installing anything.
You know living in a world were anything goes unless there is an explicit law against it is a pretty sad world to be in. Wouldn't it be nice if people took some responsibility for the position they are in and change the world with simple gestures like not abusing a position of power (running a browser plugin which most people need to install), to make money (pre-selected McAfee install), that has a negative effect on its users experience (both installer and possibly unwanted software).
A simpler option, which literally no-one could object to, is to have the box de-selected by default - this is in-line with what we could expect; most people updating the flash plugin will probably not need or want McAfee. They could even be public about this decision and the reason they did it.
But I have no "tree hugging" world disillusion, my brand image of Adobe is already a bunch of greedy people running a company where a few nice clever people exist, but on the off chance, someone with some awareness, checks the Adobe.com forums, on the flash installer, they will see that their pre-selected checkbox isn't winning them any friends and can be causing difficulty and stress to some users (most of which wouldn't even know to post here).
And, when I come to implement video playback on my website, or consider technologies like flash, I will remember the pre-selected tick box. Just in the same way I remember Macromedia and their approach on accessibility/SEO with flash...
Again... I am not hating, just trying to be honest and helpful. For all I know Adobe could be on the ropes financially and that McAfee money could be keeping them in there... but I doubt it.

How to make a listbox selected item highlight color from code the same as if user click on item?

Hi all,
I have a listbox that gets filled with data when my program starts. I save the last selectedItem value so I set it when the program start again. But the color that the selected item has is not the same as if the user click on it (pictures below).
The color when I set the selectedIndex=someItem is black on light grey (background)
The color when the user clicks on the item is white on blue (background)
Any way to make them both white on blue (background)?
Thanks
This is the user clicking on it:
This is the code:

I think the difference is focus. When you use the mouse to select it also sets focus to the listbox so you would have to set focus to the listbox when you set the selected item. How are you setting your selected item? I think that by
using a property to hold the selected item rather than setting the index that might also fix the problem.

How can I control the Product Category in the Pre-select screen

Dear ,my expert :
   I work in ROS scenario . In my case ,the supplier can select Product Category A, Product Category B,and Product Category C when they filled the data in the registration scren . And the purchaser A just is responsibility for the Product Category A ,and the purchaser B ,C are the same situation .
So ,my question is :
   1,How can I control the Product Category in the Pre-select screen? I mean that the Purchaser A can just select the   Product Category A in the Pre-select screen .
   2,You know the supplier select two category is one BP in the system ,So if the purchaser A accepe the supplier ,the purchaser B will find the status is "accepted ",So the purchaser B will be confused about it .
   SO ,in my case ,any one has the suggestions ,any link welcome .
   Bestregards
alex

Hi Alex,
As per standard SRM solution, this is not supported. Purchasers who accept new suppliers, accept them on the whole and not for any specific product category. There is no such thing as Purchaser being responsible for specific prod category in ROS.
What you could do however is to build a custom workflow to achieve it. You could have category approvers after the purchaser has accepted the supplier. Based on the category provided by the supplier in the reg form, you could route these suppliers to appropriate category approvers.

How to Pre-Select a View for ALV dashboard at runtime

Hello Experts,
The requirement is to pre-select 1 view initially (out of several configured) for 'All' users and disable the 'View-selection' dropdown function in a standard ALV dashboard. So whenever the dashboard loads, a particular view has to be set automatically for all users.
I need your help for the first part, which is to always pre-set a 'View' in a standard dashboard.
I tried to implement the suggestion provided in the following thread:
How to apply ALV view at runtime
However I couldn't make this work in my case. I created a Post-Exit of a method in Comp Ctlr of dashboard (Initialize method) - where I receive the refrence 'IWCI_SALV_WD_TABLE'. Then calling the method 'GET_CONFIG_DATA' with action 'if_salv_wd_table=>set', I try to set the view, but it has no effect.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Abir

Hi abir,
Use this and alv1 is my alv component name
    DATA LO_CMP_USAGE TYPE REF TO IF_WD_COMPONENT_USAGE.
    LO_CMP_USAGE =   WD_THIS->WD_CPUSE_ALV1( ).
    IF LO_CMP_USAGE->HAS_ACTIVE_COMPONENT( ) IS INITIAL.
      LO_CMP_USAGE->CREATE_COMPONENT( ).
    ENDIF.
    DATA LO_INTERFACECONTROLLER TYPE REF TO IWCI_SALV_WD_TABLE .
    LO_INTERFACECONTROLLER =   WD_THIS->WD_CPIFC_ALV1( ).
LS_PARAM_IN TYPE IF_SALV_WD_TABLE=>S_TYPE_PARAM_CONFIG_IN.
ls_param_in-default = "your view name " ( view is of type wdr_pers_variant)
    DATA LO_VALUE TYPE REF TO CL_SALV_WD_CONFIG_TABLE.
    LO_VALUE = LO_INTERFACECONTROLLER->GET_CONFIG_DATA( ls_param_in )

Hello
Simple problem - don,t know how to solve it.
With Premiere CC when I try to do a selection (click... drag... release the click) very often it stop way before the end of the move I'm swinging the Magic Mouse. I taught that the mouse clicking was defective and went to get a new Magic Mouse after lots of frustration. Today, I have an edit to do it it does the SAME thing !!
I was like ????#$%?&*(???
Opened all the lights and taught I've trow the new mouse to the garbage and was using the defective mouse again... no !! - ??
Actually, the bran new mouse is doing the same thing. What I understand after investigating on the motion and watching carefully my fingers !! - is that when I click I have to keep my finger at the EXACT same place on the mouse... drag and release and it's fine. If I click by pushing on the mouse and my finder is moving of a 1/32th of a millimeter, it will release and my selection will be to redo. You can understand my frustration ! - 75$ later... same problem, but I know that if I click with about 5 pounds of pressure and trying to pass my finger through the plastic of the mouse, it you stay steady and make it !
The problem is that scrolling is enable while clicking and it bugs.
How to disable it ??
Simple question - can't find the answer !

Helllooo !?
sorry but the Magic Mouse is just useless with the new Adobe Premiere CC and since I'm not the only one but can't find answer this is really disappointing. This mouse is just fantastic and now I have to swap from a USB mouse to the Magic Mouse every times I do some editing. My USB mouse if hurting my hand somehow and I want to got back to the Magic Mouse asap. Please - for sure there is a simple solution !
Thanks !!

Is there a way to select all emails at once on the iPad and then delete them at one time?

Tap on the edit button at the top right of the email list. This will let you select the emails to delete, once all are selected, tap on the bottom right button that says delete to delete them all at once.

(1) Is there any way that I can get the transition menu to remain on the screen. I select a transition, drag it to the timeline and after I click done I have to start the process all over to perform this action on the next transition. I have premiere elements 12. In older version the menu would stay on the screen.
(2) In pan and zoom how can start zoom on a photo in the original picture and zoom in and the next picture zoom out and the next photo pan from right to left and the next photo pan left to right.
Thanks

TidyCup
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? If you have not already, be sure to update 12 to 12.1, using an opened project's Help Menu/Update.
But to the immediate questions, assuming Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit....
1. No, it is what it is. But, are you applying the same transition each time? If so, then highlight/select all the clips involved (all at one time), then Timeline Menu/Apply Default Transition will do just that for the highlighted/selected clips.
To highlight/select more than one clip at a time, hold down the Shift key of the computer main keyboard and then click on each clip that you want in the group selection
or
with your mouse cursor draw a rectangle around the clips that you want to select
2. Are you using the Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Expert workspace Pan and Zoom Tool? Or the pan or zoom presets under fx Effects/Presets/? With those you can do pan or zoom, not pan and zoom.
Or, are you in the Elements Organizer 12 Slideshow Editor using the pan and zoom effect there? Or, are you using keyframing the Motion Scale property for zoom and the Motion Position property for pan?
Are you asking about photos with landscape or portrait orientation?
The pan and zoom tool does one photo at a time.
Have you read the Adobe documentation on the Pan and Zoom Tool?
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiereelements/using/WSeffff8bffc802084-494411db12fd35452dd- 8000.html
Please review and clarify and then we can get into greater details on this.
Thanks.

Write a SELECT statement in different ways is not the same thing!!!

Let's take a look
use AdventureWorks2012
go
dbcc freeproccache
go
and now select something
select * from [HumanResources].[vEmployeeDepartmentHistory]
go
so, analyzing 'Compiled Plan'
SELECT usecounts, cacheobjtype, objtype, text
FROM Sys.dm_exec_cached_plans
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(plan_handle)
where cacheobjtype = 'Compiled Plan'
ORDER BY usecounts DESC;
GO
and now let's write some SELECT in "fuzzy case"
dbcc freeproccache
go
select * from [HUMANResources].[vEmployeeDepartmentHistory]
go
select * from [HumanRESOURCES].[vEmployeeDepartmentHistory]
go
select * from [HumanResources].[VEmployeeDepartmentHistory]
go
select * from [HumanResources].[vEmployeeDEPARTMENTHistory]
go
select * from [HumanResources].[vEmployeeDepartmentHISTORY]
go
SELECT * from [HumanResources].[vEmployeeDepartmentHistory]
go
select * FROM [HumanResources].[vEmployeeDepartmentHistory]
go
and now let's see compiled plans again
SELECT usecounts, cacheobjtype, objtype, text
FROM Sys.dm_exec_cached_plans
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(plan_handle)
where cacheobjtype = 'Compiled Plan'
ORDER BY usecounts DESC;
GO
So, write a SELECT statement in different ways is not the same thing!!!
Hope it'll be useful
P.Ceglie

Yes. There is little or no query normalization that happens in front of the query plan cache. It would be a performance tradeoff to parse and normalize the query before matching it to the cached plans. The benefit of reducing the number
of plans in the cache probably wouldn't be worth it.

Configuration of Pre-selected tab of the Room Directory

Hi,
It appears from SAP Help that it is possible to preselect the tab of the collaboration Room Directory iview to display, as well as to define what room types to display under each type using the iview property 'Pre-selected tab of the room directory' as described in http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/08/01b341800e3231e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
I have tried entering the value 'ALLROOMS{restricted,public} into the above value, but I do not see public rooms being listed in the resultant room directory iview. Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks,
Ju

Hi Ju,
> the restricted and public rooms appear
> in the respective tabs
Then it's not a TREX indexing problem.
> Do you have any links with regards to this? thanks
See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ff/1a9442062bcd6ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm for details.
From the rest of your description, it sounds like an implementation bug; anyhow, this does not seem to appear on KMC SPS14. If your are on an older version, consider to upgrade your installation.
Hope it helps

I just bought an App that has a 7 day guarantee.but I do not have one of the pre-requsites to use it. ( An Amazon store) But that wasn't mentioned until you read way down the page. I can't seem to find where to quickly get a refund started.

How to get a refund when you have a 7 day guarantee or money back....I want a refund after 7 minutes. It is an App that will not work as I do not have an Amazon Store.

As far as Apple are concerned all App purchases are final and non-refundable (they have sometimes refunded where the purchaser has made an error but it's entirely discretionary).
Any 7-day guarantee is up to the program's author and it is them you would have to contact.
If you want to try with Apple, go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'All Products and Services' in the first column, 'iTunes' in the second column and then 'iTunes Store' in the third column. There's no harm in asking, but do be aware that they are under no obligation.

How to set a default pre-select for radio buttons?

Hi
I have some text form fields that I've set up to display some paired variables stored in a .txt file. When the swf loads, the form fields are populated with the text.
I've also set it up so that if you change the text and hit a submit button, the .txt file gets updated.
I'm now tryng to set it up so that I can store radio button selections in the .txt file too.
I've started doing it a certain way, but am wondering if there is a more straightforward way of doing ?
Here's what I've done...
I've set up the butttons to spit out "on" or "off" depending on the selection, and apply that to the variable that gets stored.
Now, in the same way I loaded the variables into the text form fields when the swf is refreshed, I want to load the on/off variable, and then somehow apply it to the radio buttons so that one of them is pre-selected.
So my questions are a) how do I take that loaded variable, and use an if statement to make it pre-select the button, and b) is there a simpler way to pre-select a button based on an external variable?
Thanks
Shaun

Nevermind guys - I did it using the 'rb_on.selected' command on the "on" radio button if the .txt file variable was "on", else the "off" radio button is selected.
Thanks for taking a look though!

I have no idea whether there is a causal relationship but since moving to Lion and iCloud, my iMac has become so unresponsive that I wind up having to crash and restart most of the time. This is true regardless of the app I am using at the time.
The specs of this iMac are:
iMac 27 inch, late 2009 model with a 3.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 Gig 1067 Mhz DDR3, using OSX Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
I have Mackeeper installed and according to the scans I have run, everything is fine. No virus, no junk files . . . no problems at all . . .
Except that for all practical purposes, my computer isn't working.
I am nearly totally deaf and live in an isolated, rural area of NW Missouri and this computer is what I mainly rely on to contact friends, relatives and business associtates!
Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

Pre-selected button

I need to know how to make my a button pre-selected. When the
user comes to the screen, I'd like it to show up just like it does
in the rollover state. Is there a way to do this? I already tried
using the my_btn.selected property, but that does't do it (didn't
think it would).
Similar issue: I have three buttons in a movieclip, and I'd
like them to be the only items the user can choose from and
navigate to, I haven't figured that one out yet either. If anyone
knows how to do that, please tell me, I'd like to be able to tell
which items have the "focus" similar to the getFocus() method used
for text fields, is there anything like that for movieclips

If you want to hide a radio button from a group, you have to use individual IWDRadioButton elements instead of IWDRadioButtonGroupBy{Index, Key}.

Solved.
My final code:

            lt_layout_item TYPE lvc_t_laci,

      CLEAR ls_layout_item.
      ls_layout_item-fieldname = 'SEL'.
      ls_layout_item-class = cl_gui_column_tree=>item_class_checkbox.
      ls_layout_item-editable = 'X'.
      ls_layout_item-u_class = 'X'.
      ls_layout_item-u_editable = 'X'.
      ls_layout_item-u_chosen = 'X'.
      ls_layout_item-chosen = 'X'.
      append ls_layout_item to lt_layout_item.
call method g_tree9001->set_table_for_first_display
      EXPORTING
        i_save              = 'A'
        is_variant          = ls_variant
      CHANGING
        it_sort             = gt_sort9001
        it_outtab           = gt_tree9001
        it_fieldcatalog     = gt_treefcat9001.
DESCRIBE TABLE gt_tree9001 LINES lv_tree_size.
DO lv_tree_size TIMES.
        CALL METHOD G_TREE9001->CHANGE_LAYOUT
          EXPORTING
            I_OUTTAB_INDEX = sy-index
            IT_ITEM_LAYOUT = lt_layout_item                .
ENDDO.
The main trick is in u_class, u_editable, u_chosen. These params say that layout should be changed. Only this way it will work.
And some helpful links:

CL_GUI_ALV_TREE and Checkboxes
Report BCALV_TREE_ITEMLAYOUT is also very helpful.

Prompt's customized LOV is not pre-selected when webi report is refreshed

BO XI R 2 SP 1
DB: Oracle10g
Hi - I have customized LOV in every dimension and it's value is '*All'....it appears at the top of LOV values in the prompt list.
When I open the report, it shows the *All is already selected; but when I refresh this report using 'Refresh Data'; everythings comes up fine but *All no longer shows up as pre-selected value.
Is there a way to handle this situation? Please let me know if you need more explanation.
Note that when I hit the save button; report comes back with all '*All' pre-selected in all prompts.

I don't know how to access the document you mentioned...
anyway, to display All as customized value; edit the dimension's SQL and add
UNION
SELECT 'All' FROM DUAL (for oracle)
SELECT 'All' FROM anytablename (for SQL Server)
select the checkbox not to generate SQL and then click Run...click Display and then you should be able to see All as one of your custom value.
