Resizing panels on the fly

Previoulsy I could resize a panel on the fly using something like this
private function minimizeResize():void{
                                        var winGeom:WindowGeometry = new WindowGeometry();
                                        winGeom.width = 292;
                                        winGeom.height = 44;
                                        CSXSInterface.getInstance().requestStateChange(StateChangeEvent.WINDOW_RESIZE, winGeom);
Im wondering does EB3 support StateChangeEvent.WINDOW_RESIZE yet?

Think you are right (didn't even see it before), but the resizing possbility was very limited in 6, to the maximum size of the Properties panel only. When you make panels floating, some can still have their width being increased like the Library (which I often make floating). As I answered in many threads, the only way to increase width of the Properties panel is to drag it to the bottom dock, where the Timeline is sitting.
I have already logged multiple feature requests to allow more customisation for panel size, to turn the Advanced Actions dialog box into a real panel, with full customisation possible etc. You can only add your voice by entering also a feature request.

Is there a way the user to change the equation in the formular node from the front panel on the fly, dynamically?

Is there a way the user to change the equation in the formular node from the front panel on the fly, dynamically?

Try the Parser VIs (also known as LV Mathematics VIs, or simply GMath VIs) located under the Analyze>>Mathematics palette (not in the Base package). You might want to start with the "Eval Formual Node.vi" located in the Analyze>>Mathematics>>Formula palette. There are many differences between these G-based, dynamic formula VIs and the LabVIEW formula node, but these VIs often prove quite useful when your formula changes on the fly. For more detail on the differences, see the LabVIEW Help file (Cntrl-Shift-? from within LabVIEW) under the topic "Mathematics VIs, parser differences with Formula Node".

Sorry, I don't think so. That would be pretty cool if you could create a property node for a formula node and then enter a formula on the front panel and use it to update the formula. But you can't create a property node for a formula node and the only way of modifying the formula is by typing it into the formula node on the diagram. And you can't modify a diagram of a running VI.
You could create a VI which is only a formula node with the maximum number of inputs and outputs you expect. Have a button on the calling VI to Edit Formula. When the button is pressed, use a VI server to display the front panel on the formula VI, display a dialog box telling the user how to display the diagram of the formula VI, then stop the calling VI. (You can't edit a sub-VI while t
he calling VI is running). The user will then need to rerun the calling VI to use the new formula.
You might be able to do something by calling MatLab or something like that to get an interactive formula window.

Resizing panels on the right side? [Captivate 7]

I'm pretty sure I remember being able to drag the panels to resize them in Captivate 6. For example, if you hover your mouse over the line between the timeline and the project aea, you can drag it to make it smaller or bigger. Similarly, wasn't I able to do this between the project area and the panels on the right side, that contains the properties panel, library, project info, etc? It's letting me minimize or open it, but not resize it in Captivate 7.

Resizing ordimage on the fly

I have a table with an ordimage column. I am using a servlet to display the image on my jsp page. It is for an online assessment application. It has several questions that have images, but because of size constraints, we are scaling down the images to fit in a certain window, but we also have a link so they can see the full-sized image if needed. So I need to keep the original image size. I have been using the process method.
otQuestionsViewRow.getQuestionImage().process("maxScale=510,400")
for a small user group this works ok, but I get a record locking situation when I get too many people accessing the same question at the same time. My thoughts were to use the copy or clone methods, but I have not been able to figure out how to implement, my question is what would be the best way to accomplish this? Should I continue working with one of these two methods or is there something else I can do.
This is my code I am using currently:
if (otQuestionsViewRow.getQuestionImage() != null )
imageWidth = otQuestionsViewRow.getQuestionImage().getWidth();
if (imageWidth > 510) {
otQuestionsViewRow.getQuestionImage().process("maxScale=510,400");
image = otQuestionsViewRow.getQuestionImage();
response.setContentType( image.getMimeType() );
OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
out.write( image.getDataInByteArray() );
out.flush();
}

Lars -
As it is designed today, the logger requires that the SQL statement contain an INSERT command. If it is not found, I do not believe that on-the-fly logging will work if the schema defines a foreign key to the UUT record.
Now, I have not tried this, but if the step result statements in the schema do not define their UUT_RESULT columns as foreign keys, the logger will just assume that they are data that you will provide, and it will not attempt to log a placeholder for the UUT record. So I believe you can then set the expression for the UUT_RESULT in the step results to assign the UUT key and the logger will just log it as a value. The database schema will likely have a constraint, but if you pre-create the record as you were suggesting, the constraint will be satisfied when you log the step result. Lastly when the UUT completes, the logger will just log the values using the UPDATE statement that you supplied.
Note that we already do have a internal suggestion/problem tracking issue (ID 47056), specifically to add support to log more than just the key for the UUT result and parent sequence call steps, but we have not determined how easy that would be and whether there are any backwards compatibility issues.

Can I create a dashboard layout on the fly?

Hi all, I am trying to create a dashboard layout "on-the-fly"
(dynamically).
for example: I can create the following layout using MXML
very easily:
[CODE]
<mx:VBox width="100%" height="100%"
horizontalAlign="center">
<mx:Canvas id="dashboardCanvas" width="90%"
height="90%">
<mx:HBox width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:Panel title="panel 1" width="50%" height="100%">
<mx:VBox width="100%" height="100%"
borderStyle="solid">
<myDashboarComp borderStyle="solid" />
<myDashboarComp borderStyle="solid" />
<myDashboarComp borderStyle="solid" />
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Panel>
<mx:Panel title="panel 2" width="50%" height="100%">
<mx:HBox width="100%" height="100%">
<myDashboarComp borderStyle="solid" />
<myDashboarComp borderStyle="solid" />
<myDashboarComp borderStyle="solid" />
</mx:HBox>
</mx:Panel>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:VBox>
[/CODE]
You can see that I want to build my dashboard up using
HBox's, VBox's, Panels and the individual custom components
(myDashboarComp) - keepinng the layout and structure quite simple.
The above MXML creates a simple Dashboard consisting of the
canvas (where it all starts - it constructed from -
"dashboardCanvas"). the canvas has 2 panels within a HBox (so are
side by side) called "panel 1" and "panel 2". panel 1 contains a
VBox containing 3 components (displayed vertically) and panel 2
contains a HBox containing 3 components (displayed horizontally) -
so very simple.
However - I want to control this layout externally e.g.
passing an object or array (some sort of descriptor) to describe
the layout to my app.
I then want to loop through this descriptor item and build my
dashboard using ActionScript rather than MXML to more control and
flexibility.
this is the object I have created and have been experimenting
with in ActionScript:
[CODE]
[Bindable]
public var descriptorObj:Object =
{item:"dashboard", children: [
{item:"vbox", id:"vbox1", percentWidth:100,
percentHeight:100, children:[
{item:"panel", id:"panel1", percentWidth:50,
percentHeight:100, children:[
{item:"vbox", children: [
{item:"myDashboarComp"},
{item:"myDashboarComp"},
{item:"myDashboarComp"}
{item:"panel", id:"panel2", percentWidth:50,
percentHeight:100, children:[
{item:"hbox", children: [
{item:"myDashboarComp"},
{item:"myDashboarComp"},
{item:"myDashboarComp"}
[/CODE]
This is as far as I got as I kept hitting hurdles from here.
Basically - all I want to do is somehow read / loop through
this object and build my dashboard.
First of all I was unsure of the best way to loop through the
object - as I have to do it in order to get the correct layout...
i.e. the first 3 "myDashboarComp's" are added to the >
VBox that is added to > "panel1" that is added to the > HBox
that is added to the > Canvas.
This is where I ran into my second problem. I managd to loop
through and read the elements checking there "item" in the object
and adding them accordingly.... I could loop though and add each
item to the canvas ok, e.g:
[CODE]
private function initApp():void
for(var i:int=0; i<descriptorObj.children.length; i++)
var itemType:String = descriptorObj.children
.item.toString();
var percentWidth = descriptorObj.children.percentWidth;
var percentHeight = descriptorObj.children
.percentHeight;
addContainer(itemType, percentWidth, percentHeight);
private function addContainer(conType:String, pWidth:int,
pHeight:int):void
if(conType == "panel")
addPanel(pWidth, pHeight);
else if(conType == "vbox")
addVBox(pWidth, pHeight);
private var newPanel:Panel;
private function addPanel(pWidth:int, ptHeight:int):void
newPanel = new Panel();
newPanel.percentWidth = percentWidth;
newPanel.percentHeight = percentHeight;
newPanel.title = "test panel";
dashboardCanvas.addChild(newPanel);
[/CODE]
in the above actionScript the canvas "dashboardCanvas" is
already set up in the MXML (but is the only MXML container added as
the rest should be built using the create object "descriptorObj" in
AS).
This is my next problem - when I have added a container,
e.g. a panel the next items e.g. my "myDashboarComp's" should then
be added to the previously added panel and not to the canvas
anymore - I need some way of telling the app to add children to the
last added container and not to the canvas (and each container can
change type from a panel to VBox to HBox etc....)
I hope what I am trying to say makes sense, and any help on
this one would be greatly appreciated.
I just need pointing in the right direction and some ideas on
how to continue would be good - and if my thinking / method / ideas
are actually possible.
Kind Regards,
Jon.

There are several ways to do this. The third chapter in the
cookbook is a good place to start.
All things in ActionScript are based on objects. Constructing
them with the data needed for the ui information you will need and
then binding that data to your dashboard objects is basically what
you are going to be doing.
For me it makes the most sence to have an idea of what
different types of objects you will be creating and create some
extended components for those objects. Then when you recieve your
data, binary or xml, you can digest the configuration settings from
the layout and populate the constructor for each of your
components.
It sounds like you need to organize your layout structure in
a heirarchy and from that you can walk each branch and create each
set of things as you parse your data.
Without a bit more information as to what you are
specifically doing that is about as far as I can go minus adding in
some code along some line that I think might work.
Hope that helps some.

New laptop with InDesign CS6 installed will not allow mouse to click within the fly-out windows.

At first, it wouldn't allow me to click on the Selector tool either; had to press "V" on the keyboard to toggle to it. I can open and close the fly outs, but the mouse doesn't recognize anything clickable within the window itself, from the pages, to the styles etc. I checked the other CS6 software, and no problem in either Photoshop or Illustrator (didn't go beyond those). It's a new computer so there are no old version issues; we've uninstalled and reinstalled twice, including any updates and fixes out there. Any ideas? I'm dead in the water here....

Success! Found the answer here:

I am missing the add objects section from the fly out menu in Photoshop CS6. 3d workspace

I am missing the "add objects" section from the fly out menu in Photoshop CS6. I am in the 3D workspace of Photoshop. "Scene" is highlighted and I have clicked on the little fly out menu in the upper right hand corner of that panel. The whole section that should contain, Add objects, delete objects, duplicate objects, all the way through reverse order is missing. The add lights section above and render section below it is there. I am not new to Photoshop, but I am new to the 3D section of Photoshops work space.
I do know about creating a new layer in the layers tab and merging the objects together trick. But I kind of would like for the program to work correctly as I am sure that doing it that way will cause some sort of problems later in the work process.
Below are the specs of my system.
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.1 (13.0.1.3 20131024.r.34 2013/10/24:21:00:00) x64

I am actually running windows 8. So I am not sure why it is saying windows NT. Anyway...
Photoshop says that my software is up to date. I use Photoshop daily and everything else works just fine. I have looked through this forum and there is someone else who had the same issue as me but their question was not given a solution. So that is why I choose to post it again.
Any help will be great. Thank you!
Mark.

I've made tests with four different 3rd party tools: OpenGL Extension Viewer, GPU Caps Viewer, Compute4Cash OpenCL Diagnostic Tool and Mudlord's Glide3x wrapper tester. All those tools report no problems with my video card driver and OpenGL/CL.
I have contacted nVidia and based on reports from the tools and visual tests from GPU Caps Viewer nVidia support doesn't see a problem with my driver.
I found sniffer_gpu.exe which according to Adobe Help pages is a kind of diagnostic tool and determines whether Photoshop uses the graphic card OpenCL or not. Here is the output:
Device: 00000000002B1BE8 has video RAM(MB): 1023
Vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
Renderer string: GeForce GTX 650/PCIe/SSE2
Version string: 3.0.0
OpenGL version as determined by Extensionator...
OpenGL Version 3.0
Has NPOT support: TRUE
Has Framebuffer Object Extension support: TRUE
OpenGL ok
OpenCL ok, version=1.1 CUDA 4.2.1
Return code: 3
From Adobe GPU Sniffer tool, it looks OK.
On the other hand, I have your word that there is no problem with Photoshop not recognizing OpenCL for my card and that nVidia driver has problems. Can you justify this somehow? Perhaps you could provide more details on technical level, or another utility to run and extract details, to at least identify the problem Photoshop has and hopefully solve it on either side.
P.S. During tests there were two things which I noticed, but they are probably not related to the issue:
1. One tool reports the lack of Windows registry key SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows (NT)/CurrentVersion/OpenGLDrivers. But according to your previous statement, Photoshop only uses OS calls, no registry and according to nVidia, this key is not used in Windows 7.
2. During some tests GPU Caps Viewer reports that "OpenCL CPU not supported on the selected platform". This is not complaining about GPU, only about CPU. But Photoshop is complaining about GPU, so it shouldn't be relevant.

How to? switch between the following mission control preference "group windows by application" on the fly? OR have both readily available

Is there any way to switch between the following mission control preference "group windows by application" on the fly? I would like to turn this feature on and off quickly. OR have both readily available?
If osx 10.9 does not support this, does any one know if automater can be used to creat a short cut to turn this preferance on and off?
Current solution (not much of a solution)
I currently added the preferance control icon for mission control on my dock.

Do you mean the general System Preferences icon? ...If so, it's possible to put the icon specifically for the Mission Control pane in the Dock:
I'm on Mountain Lion and that Preference Pane is in: Macintosh HD > System (not Users) > Library > PreferencePanes > Expose.prefPane
...Drag that Expose.prefPane to the right-hand side of the Dock, say, next to the Trash. Then you can simply click on the resulting Expose Prefs icon in the Dock to open its Prefs panel.

Make the panel fit the image so MouseListener only invoke when click image

I want to add MouseListener to only the image itself. So I draw the image onto a image panel, add that panel onto the main panel, then add the main panel onto the frame. However, my problem is that the size of my image panel is too large, it take up almost the entire frame. So my mouselistener response not only when I click onto the image, but also anywhere in my image panel. I try to resize the image panel to fit the size of my image, but no luck. Is there a solution for this. I feel like, it got something to do with the layout. Here is my code, if you mind read it. Thank you very much

Size on the fly and gaps question

How do you get a width and height of something in pixels on the fly? I know you can use the ruler but it's a be tedious when you use it a lot. Is there something like the properties info in illustrator?
Second, is there a quick way to create even gaps to fill a space between objects that all have different widths? For example several texl labels and I want them to fill a 900 pixel gap. I alight one to the right and one to the left and then want to create even gaps between the rest. They are all different sizes so the align tools space them based on the center or sides and creates uneven gaps.
I have run this by several peopel with no avail.

The nearest thing would be the Info panel.
The Align tool in PS is a bit limited but there again it's a Photo Editor, not a layout program. Someone may know a way to do what you want but I use the correct program.

Firefox 4 cannot "Sort by name" on Bookmarks on the fly but I have to open "Show all Bookmarks" to do so.

I used to be able to "Sort by name" bookmarks on the fly without having to open "Show all bookmarks" pane.

Firefox now always stores the old session which you can access by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session". There is also an option to restore the previous session on the default about:home home page.
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Maximize a panel maintaining the correct aspect ratio

Hello everyone,
how can I maximize a panel maintaining the correct aspect ratio?
Thanks

Hi,
this can't be done automatically, since when you enable panel sdjust on rescaling and maximize it it will scale each dimension independent from the other. That is, a panel developed for a 4:3 resolution will appear stretched if maximized on a 16:9 screen.
If you have only a few controls on the panel you could disable automatic rescaling and add an horizontal and vertical hidden splitter attaching all controls to them. When you want to maximize the panel you will need to calculate the necessary adjustment on each dimension and move the splitters accordingly with OperateSplitter so that they resize the controls. Next you can maximize the panel.
In case you have a lot of controls attaching all them to the splitters can be a hassle; in this case you can enable resolution adjustment, change panel sizes calculating the maximum dimensions that respect aspect ratio, next disable resolution adjustment and finally maximize the panel.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Resizing Panel

Ok i have a tree diagram on the left and a panel on the
right. It uses an HTTPService to access an external XML file to
display the image names. Once you click on the image it shows up on
the panel on the right. Is there a way to have the panel resize
automatically to the size of the image it is showing?

Well you could pass the width and height of the image along
with the image names somehow and then use a resize transition from
whatever width and height to the new ones.
<mx:transitions>
<mx:Transition fromState="*" toState="*">
<mx:Resize heightFrom="old_height" heightTo="new_height"
widthFrom="old_width" widthTo="new_width" />
</mx:Transition>
</mx:transitions>
It just might work. Play around with it, that's all I can
think of. Maybe you can make it change states when the new image is
displayed somehow.

Disk Utility Bootable partition on the fly?

It seems I CAN make a partition on the fly in OSX mountain lion, without erasing anything (yes, I have the GBs). If I make a new partition and install Snow Leopard, is this partition bootable? Do Ihave to make any adjustments in Time Machine? Thanks, Henrik

If you use a Snow Leopard DVD and your computer can boot from 10.6.3, then you can boot from the partition. What model do you have? Did it come with Snow Leopard discs? If it did, then use those discs to install Snow Leopard.
Do you know how to add the new partition? If not see the following:
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
