Programatically show/hide step types in the Steps pane

When a user on a new Teststand Development bench syncs to a central repository of custom Teststand components and supporting LabVIEW code, I would like to expose only custom step types saved in myTpes.ini in the steps pane. None of the standard step types should be available unless the use explicitly opens an existing sequence file that contains them. I believe this can be done through the API when Teststand launches, but I don't know where to look for the appropriate API methods. For example, is there a methods to load or unload a specific type palette to or from memory? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Charlie,
As of right now, there does not appear to be a way to programmatically change step type menu items from visible to hidden via the TestStand API. Someone has posted a product suggestion for this type of functionality to be made available in a later version of the software, however. You can view it here. I would recommend giving this idea kudos in order to boost its chances of being implemented in a future release.
Hope this helps!

Hide content type from the new menu but show in edit form

SharePoint Online, I have following 4 site content types Word Document Excel document PowerPoint document General document
These content types are being used in a document library and "Word Document" is the default content type, When user clicks on "new" menu, all 4 content types are shown.
I don't want to show "General document" in the new menu but I want to show in edit form, I have marked it hidden in the library settings but now it is not visible in the edit form.
Any idea how can I hide content type from the new button but show in edit form?

Hi,
Whether you use SharePoint online 2013.
If we hide the content type in the library settings, the content type will not be displayed in both new menu and edit form.
To accomplish your qequirement, we need to use css code:
style <style type="text/css">
ul.ms-cui-menusection-items32 li:nth-child(4) {
display: none !important;
</style>
perhaps your environment is different with mine, you need to make a little change to the code.

My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows). The key behaves the same for the laptop keyboard and for an external Apple keyboard? This just started in last week after 6 months of use

My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows).
The left shift key behaves the same on the laptop keyboard and on an external Apple keyboard.
This just started in last week after 6 months of use. The right shift key and other keys on the keyboard all appear to work correctly.
Suggestions greatly appreciated.

I have a solution to this issue now after a discussion with Apple Support. Some where in the last few weeks, there was a change in the key that would do a Show Desktop under the Mission Control settings in the System Preferences. Even though the key sequence that was shown for the Show Desktop setting did not include the Left SHift key, by changing this first to having no key sequence and applying that and then changing it back to the F11 key, the Left SHift key issue that I was having has cleared up.
A second issue that was uncovered was that the SSD had some issues (uncovered when I ran Disk Utility using the Repair Disk key). I had to restart and use the Disk Utility through the Command R sequence to get to the stand alone Disk Utility. The SSD appears to be running better as a result as well.
Hope that this is of use to someone else in the future.

Show/ hide child row in the same report

Hi,
The whole day i'm looking for the trick/ example to get the following done.
i want to have one report on a region, what is showing as default only parents, like:
company name | total_employees
A | 200
B | 250
When clicking on a a record or + sign (or something like this) the child records of each parents must also show on the report.
So something like the following:
company name | department | total_employees
A | dep: T | 150
A | dep: P | 50
B | dep: K | 250
The functionality must be something like this. The most importent thing is that the data will be in the same report. So i don't want to go to a other page.
Hope someone can help....... tnx in advanced.

Dynamically show/hide regions out of the application workflow

hi,
is it possible to show/hide regions of a page dynamically with a "select list with submit" item?

Hi,
Do you mean "Conditionally display" items based on the value of a Select List with Submit?

The bookmarks library window doesn't show my bookmarks folders in the left pane anymore

When I click "bookmarks", then "show all bookmarks" it brings me to the library window. My bookmarks folders don't show up in the left pane anymore. Before, you could click onto a folder in the left pane and it would show all of the bookmarks that are in that folder in the right pane. What happened?

This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I just got a wireless keyboard for my iPad 4 and can't get the onscreen keyboard to stop showing as I type with the keyboard.

I have a just bought a bluetooth keyboard for my iPad 4 and it works fine. It connects with bluetooth and when I type the characters appear fine but the on screen keyboard will not go away. How do I get it to disappear while I am using my bluetooth keyboard.
James, arealniceguy

Yes that was my next step but I removed the Swift key app I had installed with slightly different functionality than the Apple default screen keyboard. I figured I really didn't need that functionality since the Bluetooth keyboard offered far more flexibility. Sure enough the well designed default Apple keyboard seems to know it is not needed when an external keyboard is in use. Apple software just works better as always.

What is the best way to show/hide n number of columns ?

Hi,
I have a dynamic report that I have show/hide columns working using the below code. But when there are 500 or more rows it takes about a minute or more just waiting to see the columns toggle.
What is the best way to do this?
// Existing Javascript
[script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"]
var maxcnt= mymonths.length;
function hideMaxEarn(){
for(var j=0;j[maxcnt;j++){
hideColumn('MON'+mymonths[j],'MAXCOL'+mymonths[j]);
hideColumn('MON'+mymonths[j],'EARNCOL'+mymonths[j]);
hideColumn('MON13','MAXCOL13');
hideColumn('MON13','EARNCOL13');
function showMaxEarn(){
for(var j=0;j[maxcnt;j++){
showColumn('MON'+mymonths[j],'MAXCOL'+mymonths[j]);
showColumn('MON'+mymonths[j],'EARNCOL'+mymonths[j]);
showColumn('MON13','MAXCOL13');
showColumn('MON13','EARNCOL13');
function getCellIndex(pRow,pCell){
for(var i=0, n=pRow.cells.length;i[n;i++){
    if(pRow.cells[i] == pCell) return i;
function hideColumn(pMon,pCol){
var l_Cell = $x(pCol);
var l_Table = html_CascadeUpTill(l_Cell,'TABLE');
var l_Rows = l_Table.rows;
l_CellI = getCellIndex(l_Cell.parentNode,l_Cell);
for (var i=0, n=l_Rows.length;i[n;i++){
    if(i != 0) {
       html_HideElement(l_Rows[i].cells[l_CellI]);
} else {
$x(pMon).colSpan = $x(pMon).colSpan - 1;
function showColumn(pMon,pCol){
var l_Cell = $x(pCol);
var l_Table = html_CascadeUpTill(l_Cell,'TABLE');
var l_Rows = l_Table.rows;
l_CellI = getCellIndex(l_Cell.parentNode,l_Cell);
for (var i=0, n=l_Rows.length;i[n;i++){
    if(i != 0) {
       html_ShowElement(l_Rows[i].cells[l_CellI]);
} else {
$x(pMon).colSpan = 3;
return;
[script]

Hi Andy,
Yes, I replaced the code calling the same things in a loop to one loop getting the Table reference once and I build an array of column numbers at the time the report is built so I don't have to get the column number each time....
it is a couple of seconds faster in about a 30 second response time. It will have to do it for now, no more time unless you see something in this new code...
Thank you! Bill

Error while trying to view the details table from Show/Hide icon

What we are having is two tables, Outer and Inner, having Outer VO and Inner VO,outer VO is linked with inner VO. Now when I am trying to view the inner table
through Show/Hide icon to see the details of the table ,I am getting an error like ...
The record with primary key values {2280} could not be found in view object MisForecastHeadOfiiceAM.InnerTableVO_OuterInnerVL_InnerTableVO.
I want to know how this error can be resolved

Hi Abdul,
We are not getting error while searching. As said earlier
While search for the first time > We could see proper results in out table and Even show/hide is working fine and display correct data in Inner table
When searching for the second time with different criteria > We could see proper results in outer table and on clicking show/hide (to view inner table data), we are getting error.
The record with primary key values {2280} could not be found in view object AM.ViewLinkVL_InnerTableVO
From the error message, we found that its trying to get the row (of inner table) pertaining to first search results and not for the outer table row in context to second search results.

Show/Hide Permissions on the upload iview

Hi All,
I wonder, if there is some way to solve my problem?
What I need is to add <u>Show/Hide Permissions</u> to the upload iview.
Do you remember, we have <u>Show/Hide Properties </u> on the upload iview, so that users can upload files and also add properties on the same screen (and they find it very useful). But if they want to change permissions, they have to return to the KM navigation and open permissions iview for the item. If I'll be able to add entrance to the permissions on the same screen, it will help a lot.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Inna Karp

Hi Inna,
you would have to extend the upload screenflow by yourself, means to decompile the concernced classes and add your extra logic. But be warned: The upload screenflow has been grown in a long time, obviously without a cut and a redesign after having added different functionality. It's no fun at all to work with the sources. And it is full of (minor) bugs, what means that it will be under development with probably every patch arising. So if you make your own, extended screenflow, you will have the choice to work under a complete new namespaces (carrying old bugs over the time) or to make the extension again and again with every patch. Anyhow, it won't be that straight forward.
> they have to return to the KM navigation and open
> permissions iview for the item
Normally, you will have come from the Navigation iView, so returning to it will happen automatically, won't it? Maybe as a workaround, you could add the command to open the permissions screen directly on the resource command list, so that one does not always have to use the Details command before?!
Hope it helps

Robo v9 Show/Hide without Twisties - One button no longer working

Hey there, as stated I am using Robo v9 with Show/Hide without Twisties (One button) with javascipts. We have most of our images using DHTML drop-downs and when folks click on "Show All Images" on the page, the GIF changes to "Hide All Images" and all drop-downs (our images) and expanding text are diaplayed.
It had been working all the time, but now it only works when I right click the topic in the TOC and choose "Edit Topic", then while in the Edit Window (Display view), when I do a View (Ctrl-W) and it displays the page within RoboHelp..I can click the "Show All Images" and it works like it always had. BUT, if that page is not in the Edit Window, and I right click "Preview Topic", the click "Show All Images" (or on the DHTML dropdown itself) it will NOT show the images, *but the GIF image does properly toggle to "Hide All Images" (and if I do again, then it properly toggles to the "Show All Images" GIF, if I do it again), but now NO images are getting displayed for some reason. It also NEVER works properly when I publish to our website (even when clicking the DHTML dropdown itself), but the GIF images toggle properly.
If I right click and choose "Preview Topic" and click "View With" and use Internet Explorer 8 it still never works anymore, unless the topic is in the Edit Window (Display View), so I know the issue is not on the server. It stops working after I do a generate and run on my pc. Also when I view it IE8 within Robo (and Allow the Blocked Content to run the scripts), many instances of the same error is shown as:
Message: Access is denied.
Line: 2646
Char: 3
Code: 0
URI: file:///D:/Users/_RBH9_TPO-Generate/v9-testing/ehlpdhtm.js
...but I *do* have access to the folder system, but in checking the coding of the ehlpdhtm.js, that area show, where I believe line 2646, character 3 starts at the "values = getAttribute(element, prop );" line below...but maybe something does not exist:
==
//End HTML code invoked function
function InitEffect( element, prop )
var values = null;
if( getAttribute(element,prop))
values = getAttribute(element, prop );
else if( getAttribute( element, "currentStyle" ) && element.currentStyle.getAttribute)
values = element.currentStyle.getAttribute( prop );
else if (element.style.getAttribute)
values = element.style.getAttribute( prop );
if( !values )
return;
var functions = new Array();

I have a much older backup when restored, it all works properly again in all cases, but I have done so much work since then that I think would need to be manually redone. I have played with keeping those some javascipts alone (in case I changed something) and updated the rest of the data files I had added, deleted the .CPD file, but it somehow stops working again, probably with some updated file. I am not sure what specific files could be causing the negative impact that is preventing it from working. Maybe if I knew what files could impact, I couldrestore those from my old backup. The newer backups when restored do not work properly, so there was a point in time where something changed and is causing this.
All prior versions of RoboHelp (v7 and v8) have always worked and still do. I am using v9.0.1.262, as the latest version has not yet been allowed on our pcs (per security), but since my earlier backup works, I thought it may not be the issue, but wanted to tell you anyway. ;->
Any ideas on how I should proceed? What files may have impact to cause it not to work anymore? The showhide.js is the only .js to show up as a baggage file. Also, the DHTML line does exits in each html page's code, as we are still using Robo v7 as the production software and the Show/Hide always works, and I copy them into the respective Robo v9 folders (and if new, then I copy them, then import them), otherwise the newer v7 updated pages are copied over the older v9 html files while RoboHelp is closed.
Thanks in advance for any info you can provide!

I may have figured out what to fix to get v9 back to working on the Show/Hide button, but not the "why?" .
It looks to all be dealing with the Robo automatic html coding of where to locate the .js file(s)...here is a quick overview of this issue and what I did. When I view the non-working pages within Internet Explorer 8 within Robo (and Allow the Blocked Content to run the scripts), I saw many instances of the same error is shown as this in the log, which implied since I *do* have access rights, maybe the file was just not being found.
Message: Access is denied.
Line: 2646
Char: 3
Code: 0
URI: file:///D:/Users/_RBH9_TPO-Generate/v9-testing/ehlpdhtm.js
OK, here are my findings. EXAMPLE #1 and EXAMPLE #2 below are excerpts of the same file. EXAMPLE #1 is from Robo v7 and is copied to the v9 folder after it was updated so our soon to be "production" webhelp will be from Robo v9 (instead of making the same manual updates in Robo v9 as in Robo v7, I copy the updated the .html file to the Robo v9 file system). Note the direction of the directory slashes of the java scripts listed below, as they are all DOS type slashes (back slashes), EXCEPT for ehlpdhtm.js as it is the ONLY one using UNIX (forward) slashes.
EXAMPLE #1 (from Robo v7)
==
<link rel="StyleSheet" href="..\..\sty-std-topic.css">
<script type="text/javascript" language=JavaScript x-save-method=compute-relative
src="..\..\showhide.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<robohelp><script type="text/javascript" language=JavaScript1.2 src="../../ehlpdhtm.js"
x-save-method=compute-relative></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language=JavaScript1.2>

</script>
==
EXAMPLE #2(from Robo v9)
This is from the restored backup of the Robo v9 files that always work when I restore them, and note they are ALL UNIX (forward) slashes. These backup files were generated from Importing/Upgrading a copy of the Robo v7 files into Robo v9.
++
<title>[Endpoint Protection] Symantec Overview</title>
<link rel="StyleSheet" href="../../sty-std-topic.css" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="../../showhide.js">
</script>
</head>
<body>
<?rh-script_start ?><script src="../../ehlpdhtm.js" type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
</script><?rh-script_end ?>
++
Additional info: The following is from another file from the Robo v9 backup files that always WORK and once again they are ALL UNIX (forward) slashes.
~~
<link rel="StyleSheet" href="../../sty-std-topic.css" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="../../showhide.js">
</script>
</head>
<body>
<?rh-script_start ?><script src="../../ehlpdhtm.js" type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
</script><?rh-script_end ?>
~~
BUT since all .js files are referenced in EXAMPLE #1 have DOS slashes (back slashes), EXCEPT for the ehlpdhtm.js, I decided to change the line in ehlpdhtm.js FROM src="../../ehlpdhtm.js" TO src="..\..\ehlpdhtm.js" and IT (this one page) BEGAN WORKING AGAIN after I published. So having all DOS back slashes DOES work in Robo v9!!!! BUT it appears that Robo v9 only generates new pages using UNIX (forward) slashes in ALL coding. I've read about issues like this occurring with the FireFox browser, but we only use IE8, and have not read anything like this related to IE8 issues.
So if all UNIX forward slashes and all DOS back slashes can work in Robo v9 in finding and using ehlpdhtm.js, (the Show/Hide buttons function properly) why is this problem existing in Robo v9 when there are mixed "slashes" (using forward and backward)? ...and the mixed slashes ALWAYS works in Robo v7! They do not have to all be in the same direction in Robo v7 as it appears to have to be in the newer/more advanced Robo v9. Why does it matter that all slashes need to be all the same direction, if Robo v9 CAN actually read and figure out the DOS back slashes (formatted by Robo v7 creation) and actually generates UNIX forward slashes for the .js files in new Robo v9 output within the .html?
More importantly will I have to always do a Global search and replace in Robo v9 to change the direction of the "back slashes" when I copy updated Robo v7 .html files into the Robo v9 folders (instead of manually reworking each change), while in transition from v7 to v9?
Thanks in advance any information, recommendations, and feedback as your time is greatly appreciated!

Cisco 9900 (9951/9971) Show/Hide Video

Hi there,
Can I remove the Show/Hide Video option from the 9951/9971 Video Phones?
I need one phone as PLAR in a lobby which is fine but cannot remove this option.
Also wish to remove the "Preview Video" button.
Any ideas?

I've had a TAC case SR 629554885 open for this issue for about 2 months without resolution. Specifically In our case I have an ASA at the remote end which drops the packet fragments as they appear as some type of attack due to the way they are fragmented. This causes the phones to receive garbled video and eventually crash and reboot. Did you ever find a workaround?

Dynamically show/hide pages in a workset for special users at runtime

Hi all,
I want to create a workset that contains pages for different countries. The portal users should only be able to see the countries where they do business. I also would like masterdata from R/3 to drive the display of content on the portal.
- Is there a way how I could dynamically show/hide certain pages of the workset for the specific users?
- Would this showing/hiding of pages affect the workset for all users or only the instance for the specific user?
- Would there be a difference when I want to dynamically show/hide iviews in a page instead of showing/hiding pages in a workset?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Timo,
Check out the article located at:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/ep/portal_content/filtering role and workset content.htm
It talks to exactly what you're trying to do. I'd imagine you could extend this simplistic example to have the service pull the users country from his/her master record in R/3 and set their filtering expression accordingly.
Hope this helps,
Marty

Buttons: show/hide feature

Hi,
I thing I know what the answer to my question will be, but I'm hoping that one of you InDesign gurus out there can provide me with a different answer to my question.
I'm putting together an interactive PDF of a directory of helpful links related to different topics. The topics are buttons that the user will click on that will display off to the side a list of links and their titles that can be either clicked on (hyperlink) or copied and pasted to an email. I've created the list of links as separate objects and to display each of these objects, I've converted them to buttons and used the Show/Hide buttons feature on the topic buttons so that when a topic button is clicked on, it will display that list of links to that topic. It works fine, but of course, now that the link lists are buttons, they can't be copied and worse yet, can't be clicked on to access the web page from that link. Obviously, by converting my link lists to buttons so that they can be displayed when the topic button is clicked, I've lost the capability of the link list to do what it was supposed to do.
The obvious solution would be to use object states, so that I maintain the original function of the link list for copying and accessing the web page of the link, but my reason for not using object states is that I don't want the output in a SWF file, which is the only way to use object states. Another solution would be to use separate pages to display each topic link list, but my concern about that is possible increase in overall file size if I have so many pages. Finally, I noticed that Adobe Acrabat has a show/hide layers feature that might work for my purpose, but I like the button creation of InDesign better.
Is there any other way to accomplish what I want done other than the above solutions, or am I just going to have to settle for one those solutions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I assume that you're talking about Show-Hide Fields in an interactive PDF. It's not likely that it will work given the limitations of most PDF readers on mobile devices.
I'm a user of an iPad and iPhone, and haven't worked with Android or Windows devices but I think the issues are the same on all platforms. Some PDF readers are better than others. You didn't say what PDF reader you were testing on.
Here are two articles I've written about the frustrations of getting interactivity to work on mobile devices, in this case, an iPad:
http://indesignsecrets.com/for-interactive-pdf-not-all-readers-are-equal.php
http://indesignsecrets.com/navigation-button-tricks-for-interactive-pdf-on-an-ipad.php
The best PDF reader for iOS devices is PDF Expert, but I don't believe that exists for Android or Windows devices. I can view interactivity that Adobe Reader doesn't support.
