Re: Is there a way to hide the launcher in Win95?

If you read the Systems Manager manual you can find how to use the short cut to
start your application using the ftcmd or ftexec.
The following is an example of one that I use.
C:\forte\install\bin\ftexec.exe -fi bt:C:\forte\userapp\APPWIN\cl0\APPWIN0 -fns
SYSNAME:5000
Hope this helps.

Hello forte-users,

I need a way to start the launcher as system-service or in a manner
that the process is not shown in the Win95 task-line after startup
the computer. Because if more MS-DOS-tasks are open some users clean
the task line using close with the right mouse-button to close those
tasks without looking which kind of process it is. And sometimes they
close the launcher also during run of a forte-application which makes
it impossible to continue some work in this application :-).

I'm guessing what really needs to be closed is the launch server window,
right? That's the one that runs as an "MS-DOS" box in the task bar.
The launcher is just the little applet that can run other applications.
As far as we have been able to discover here, the only way to make the
launch server close after the application exits is to code it into your
application. Forte doesn't really want to close it though, because it is
used to fire off any and all application that get run using "ftcmd" or
the LaunchService.RunApplet method call.
If you don't need to use Forte's application distribution mechanism
(i.e. having it create icons in "Forte Applications" for you), you can
do as mentioned earlier and run things as an "ftexec" instead of an
"ftcmd".
It would be nice if Forte let you decide what type of icon you want it
to create when you install an application on a given node.

Joseph,
Try setting FORTE_LAUNCHER_CLOSE=TRUE. This is supposed to
shut down the
launcher after an application is launched. The default is FALSE.
You can hide the console window when launched via FTExec by:
aW : Window = new();
aW.windowsystem.ConsoleWindowDisplayState = DS_HIDDEN;
Hope this helps!

Is there a way to hide the reading pane in iPad mail after a message is read?

Is there a way to hide the reading pane in iPad mail after a message is read?

Selecting a different email will change what is displayed. Tapping the Home button will take you back to the Home screens. Tapping the power button on the top of the iPad will put it to sleep. Those are pretty much your options.

Is there a way to hide the SSID?

On my old Linksys router I could choose to not broadcast the SSID as a form of added security (a hacker won't hack what he doesn't know exists). Instead of it showing up in the list of available networks, you had to type it in manually.
It finally broke and I bought an AirPort Extreme which I just set up a few minutes ago. Created a new network, new password, etc. But there doesn't seem to be an option to not broadcast the SSID that I could see.
Is there any way to hide the SSID from people looking for available networks?

yes.
launch *airport utility* and enter +manual setup+ for your device. go to the wireless tab and click on +wireless options+. find the check box for +create a closed network+ and update the AEBS.
edit: don't be fooled, though. clients connected to a hidden (closed) network still broadcast the SSID openly. there are a number of freely available tools out there that can pick up a hidden network in a snap.

Is there any way to hide the column header in BW workbook?

I have inserted a query into a workbook. But I don't want the column header to be shown. Is there any way to hide the column header? Thanks.

Hi,
If you want to do any custom formatting to the workbook and you do not want it to reset when you refresh the workbook,
You will have to You can deactivate the function for adjusting the formatting (Adjust Formatting after Refreshing) in the Display Options of the Query Properties.
When you do this, you can have your own formatting for the workbook and it will not be affected when you refresh the workbook.

Is there a way to stop the launching applications to come to foreground?

Is there a way to stop the launching applications to come to foreground?
Back with os 10.3 Panther or 10.4 Tiger the apps opened in the background. That was one of the good differences with Windows. I guess that 10.5 Leopard adopted this annoying Windows behavior. Hope it's gonna change with 10.7 Lion.
(Of course I am looking for another solution than the AppleScript/Terminal launch that can be found on Google. I'd rather have a plist option to change if it exists!)

I have found this page http://www.realsoftware.com/listarchives/realbasic-nug/2009-03/msg01167.html where it is proposed to add :
<key>LSBackgroundOnly</key>
<string>True</string>
to MyApp.app/Contents/Info.plist
I tried this but the app launches totally hidden in the background. Plus you have to set this behavior for every app.
The open -g option works fine as expected.
Still looking for a system-wide option, but it doesn't seem to exist.
About the utility of such an option, I'll just remember you that some machine don't load apps very fast and, instead of waiting for an app to launch, the user will do something else until the app launches. You'll understand that waiting in front of a computer isn't acceptable and having a MBPro isn't possible for everyone.

Is there a way to hide the tab bar on my I Pad 2 in IOS 5?

Anyone know of a way to hide the tab bar in an I Pad 2 using OS5? It wasn't there on the previous operating system.

I can only assume that you are talking about Safari and the answer is no. Safari now uses tabs. If you want a tab free browser, download iCab. You can use tabs or you also have the old Safari way of browsing open web pages at your disposal. Another rally nice feature is that you can swipe from one open web page to another open web page. It also has a ton of other features that Safari does not have.

Is there any way to hide the menu bar?

I've been trying to find out if there's a way to hide the menu bar unless the mouse pointer is pushed up to the upper edge of the screen, I know there are third-party applications that let you do this (Menufela which uses Application Enhancer that I prefer to avoid as it is causes more problems than it solves as far as I'm concerned), I also know that it's possible to write applications that cause the menu bar to exhibit this behaviour while they're focused.
But what I'm looking for is a way to make it behave this way all the time without installing Application Enhancer and having to deal with all the headaches that come with it.

It does seem odd that you can't get the menu bar to hide itself though, I seem to recall something about editing certain files in .app directories to make it hide itself on an app-by-app basis.
To hide the menu bar for a single application, you need to modify the Info.plist, as described -> here <-.
This will work on nearly every application. Only on a very few applications it will cause incorrect behaviour, mainly Finder.app.
So a simple way to realise your wishes, is to create an Applescript, that will "hide and unhide" the menubar for a couple of apps at one time.
Here a demonstration example: Choose one or more apps. Menu bar will be hidden/unhidden:
<pre style="
font-family: 'Courier New', Courier;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 1;
border: 2px solid #1E90FF;
width: 700px; height: 200px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #F5FFFA;
overflow: auto;">
on run
set xyz to choose file default location (path to "apps" as alias) with multiple selections allowed without invisibles
repeat with i in xyz
set appName to name of (get info for i)
if appName ends with ".app" then set proName to text 1 thru -5 of appName
tell application "Finder"
try
if exists (process proName) then
set x to display dialog "Is " & "\"" & proName & "\"" & " still running? If so, please quit it now!" buttons {"Cancel", "Quit it!", "No! Not running!"} default button 2 with icon 0
end if
end try
end tell
try
if button returned of x is "Quit it!" then
tell application appName
quit
end tell
end if
end try
try
((i as Unicode text) & "Contents:Info.plist") as alias
set infoPlist to quoted form of POSIX path of ((i as Unicode text) & "Contents:Info")
try
do shell script "defaults read " & infoPlist & " LSUIPresentationMode"
do shell script "defaults delete " & infoPlist & " LSUIPresentationMode"
on error
do shell script "defaults write " & infoPlist & " LSUIPresentationMode -int 4"
end try
end try
end repeat
end run
</pre>

Now that the "Status Bar" is gone, is there a way to hide the "status notification" (bottom left corner) when a page loads? This is on Windows & FF5/6

The so called "Status Bar" has apparently gone away since FF4, I'm now onto 6 I think, on my work machine. But one of the things I liked about the Status Bar was that it could be hidden entirely.
With no Status Bar, now when a page is loaded in FF, you get a floating "Status Notification" in the bottom left corner for a second or two while the page is loading (this even happens in FullScreen F11, something I never had to deal with when the Status Bar existed).
What I want to know is, is there a way to turn off this "Status Notification" entirely? A setting somewhere? Something in About:config? I haven't been able to find anything.

1. Install the addon Status 4 evar, which puts the status text back in the status bar: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
2. Hide the status bar by right clicking the refresh button and unchecking "Addon bar"

Is there a way to hide the account ranges when creating a web-adi for budgets?

Hi,
I'm trying to create budgets for an end-user. The user doesn't want to see all account ranges defined for that budget organization and would like to populate them on his own. I can hide the account ranges in the document creation page but not in the web-adi excel file. Is there a way to do hide the account combinations from being displayed in the excel file?

you'd have to disable javascript - but this won't be a very practical solution since many sites are broken without it. you can use an extension like [https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/noscript/ noscript] & do a whitelist approach - disable js by default and only allow it on sites that you trust/need.
here's some more stuff that websites can find out about you: [http://browserspy.dk]

In QuickTime 10 is there a way to hide the movie controls when paused?

Is there anyway to hide the movie controls in quicktime when pausing movies? It's quite irritating when trying to analyse video, especially when resolution is low, and can't move the controls out of the video window to see whole picture. There should be a way to move them outside the movie window?

Click the mouse while it is over the player window. The onscreen controls and title bar will disappear.

Is there a way to hide the source of a page?

I would like to know if there's a way hide the source of a page.
In the near future I would like to sell access to a CF app to resellers, so that they can sell my app as their own service. I'm looking for a reasonable solutions to hide where the page is coming from. Not for my sake but to give my resellers some privacy.
the way I do it now is:: <iframe id="myFrame" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" src='http://mysite.com/applications/main.cfm/?id=14' width="100%" height="100%"/> this offers no privacy.
a nice example of what i would like to do is this web site:
service provider -> http://mailinglistorders.com/index1.cfm
customer -> http://www.wizcounts.com/index1.cfm
Any ideas, suggestions, pointers would be greatly apreciated!!
Thanks!

thanks for your input, that is a solution, but I would prefer to find a simpler to implement solution, something that if possible could be automated. It doesn't have to be unbreakable, as there is no sensitive data being sent, it's only a customer id and some parameters. Is there a way maybe to encrypt the URL at the clients side and decrypt it at the server side (maybe I'm showing my ignorance )
I'm just trying to avoid being obvious.
Thanks again!!!

Is there a way to hide the horizontal and vertical scroll bar?

Hi,
I have report with customized page height and width and I am displaying it in the windows forms.
When I am resizing the form wherein the crviewer is dock in, the horizontal and vertical scroll bars appears.
Is there a way for me to suppress the those scrollbars?
Thanks in advance.

Couple of ways I've been able to find info about. E.g.; there is not straight API off os the viewer (CRviewer.ScrollBar = False ).
1) Add Panel control onto the page and add report viewer control into a Panel. Set Scrollbar, width, height property of Panel control.
2) See http://www.dotnetspider.com/forum/266932-Remove-Scrollbar-from-Crystal-report-Viewer.aspx for another idea.
If either of the above works for you, please let us know as I have not tested this yet.

Is there a way to hide the status bar when reading a book in iBooks?

Every other ereader app seems to hide the status bar (at the top of the screen, with battery etc) automatically, or there is a setting to do so. I can't seem to be able to do this in iBooks. What am I missing?

Nothing - afaik iBook can't do that trick
