Ring with string value

I would like to know if there is a way to make a single control (either a ring or otherwise) where a string that is displayed to the user has a string as its output value.
For instance, I have a power laser with a serial communication port and the command to turn on the laser diodes is LASER1;
I want to display the string "DIODES ON" to the user, but have the control provide the value "LASER1;" when selected.
This is easy to do with two controls, for example, I can have an enum with the user display strings and a matching enum with the laser command strings, but then I have to ensure that any change affects both controls.
If it is a single control, it is less likely to have an error when a change is made.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am using LabView 2009

Perhaps I should have been more clear.
There are approximately 20 commands to be sent to the laser from which the user can select.
Each string to the user has a corresponding command.
Since this is programmatic for automatic operation; as well as single commands for manual operation, I would like to have a single control with 20 strings and corresponding commands.
For example:
User                 Laser
Diodes On         Laser1;
Diodes Off         Laser;
Mode Current    Opmode0;
Mode Power      Opmode1;
Gate Open        Gate1;
Gate Closed      Gate0;
A single button or a caption string is not adequate.

Array of Ring to string value for creating a table

I want to convert an array of ring to string and generate a table from it.
But using property node for converting each ring is changing all the value of the table!
each array represents different register!hence required to change for different array!
i am hereby attaching a Vi!

How Can I replace newScale Text Strings with Custom Values?

How Can I replace newScale Text Strings with Custom Values?
How can I replace newScale text strings with custom values?
All newScale text is customizable. Follow the procedure below to change the value of any text string that appears in RequestCenter online pages.
Procedure
1. Find out the String ID of the text string you would like to overwrite by turning on the String ID display:
a) Navigate to the RequestCenter.ear/config directory.
b) Open the newscale.properties file and add the following name-value pair at the end of the file:res.format=2
c) Save the file.
d) Repeat steps b and c for the RmiConfig.prop and RequestCenter.prop files.
e) Stop and restart the RequestCenter service.
f) Log in to RequestCenter and browse to the page that has the text you want to overwrite. In front of the text you will now see the String ID.
g) Note down the String ID's you want to change.
2. Navigate to the directory: /RequestCenter.ear/RequestCenter.war/WEB-INF/classes/com/newscale/bfw.
3. Create the following sub-directory: res/resources
4. Create the following empty text files in the directory you just created:
RequestCenter_0.properties
RequestCenter_1.properties
RequestCenter_2.properties
RequestCenter_3.properties
RequestCenter_4.properties
RequestCenter_5.properties
RequestCenter_6.properties
RequestCenter_7.properties
5. Add the custom text strings to the appropriate RequestCenter_<Number>.properties file in the following manner (name-value pair) StringID=YourCustomTextString
Example: The StringID for "Available Work" in ServiceManager is 699.
If you wanted to change "Available Work" to "General Inbox", you would add the following line to the RequestCenter_0.properties file
699=General Inbox
Strings are divided into the following files, based on their numeric ID:
Strings are divided into the following files, based on their numeric ID:
String ID File Name
0 to 999 -> RequestCenter_0.properties
1000 to 1999 -> RequestCenter_1.properties
2000 to 2999 -> RequestCenter_2.properties
3000 to 3999 -> RequestCenter_3.properties
4000 to 4999 -> RequestCenter_4.properties
5000 to 5999 -> RequestCenter_5.properties
6000 to 6999 -> RequestCenter_6.properties
7000 to 7999 -> RequestCenter_7.properties
6. Turn off the String ID display by removing (or commenting out) the line "res.format=2" from the newscale.properties, RequestCenter.prop and RmiConfig.prop files
7. Restart RequestCenter.
Your customized text should be displayed.

I've recently come across this information and it was very helpful in changing some of the inline text.
However, one place that seemed out of reach with this method was the three main buttons on an "Order" page. Specifically the "Add & Review Order" button was confusing some of our users.
Through the use of JavaScript we were able to modify the label of this button. We placed JS in the footer.html file that changes the value of the butt

Problem with prepared statement where cluase when passing string value.Help

I am updating a table using the following code. I am using string parameter in where clause. if I use Long parameter in where clause with ps.setLong , this code is working. Is there any special way to pass string value? Am I doing anything wrong?
===================
updateMPSQL.append("UPDATE MP_Table SET ");
     updateMPSQL.append("MPRqmt = ?,End_Dt = ? ");
          updateMPSQL.append("where POS = ? ");
          System.out.println(updateMPSQL.toString());
          con     = getConnection(false) ;
          ps      = con.prepareStatement(updateMPSQL.toString());
          ps.setLong(1,MPB.getMPRqmt());
          ps.setDate(2,MPB.getEnd_Dt());
          ps.setString(3,MPB.getPos());
result = ps.execute();
          System.out.println("Result : " + result);

Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

doesn't Pos look like a number rather than a string variable?
if I use Long
parameter in where clause with ps.setLong , this code
is working.
updateMPSQL.append("where POS = ? ");
ps.setString(3,MPB.getPos());

Is it possible to add a string inside a textbox with a value of another textbox for Acrobat Forms?

Is it possible to add a string inside a textbox with a value of another textbox?
ex.
Textbox1 = Happy

Textbox3 = "I am Happy therefore I am not Sad"
"I am (value of textbox1) therefore I am not ( value of textbox2)"

Use this code as the custom calculation code of Textbox3:

How to create an array of ring with a different items/values for each

Hi All,
i want an array of text ring with different items and values for each text ring. Do you have other solution if it does not work?
thanks by advance

Hello Mnemo15,
The properties of elements in an array are shared across all controls or indicators in an array, so there is no way to specify unique selectable values for different text rings in an array. It sounds like what you are looking for is a cluster of ring controls, where each control can be modified independently.
Could you provide a more descriptive overview of the sort of behavior you are looking for? Are these ring elements populated at run time? Will the values be changed dynamically? Will the user interact with them directly?
Regards,
But the selection is not a property, it is a value... I just tried it and you can have different selections. Just not different items.

Replacing the same value in a string with varying values

If I have a string:
"%s is the %s I am referring to"
and - I want to replace the %s occurrences with DIFFERENT values... what's the best way to do this.
I was thinking parsing it into seperate strings using substr and instr but, I'm not sure if that's overkill or not.
Replace is ideal but - it replaces every occurrence so - you can state just replace the first occurrence with one value and the second with another (i.e. if the desired result after replacing the above string was supposed to be "This is the string I am referring to"
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Explain how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.3.0).
See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}
I was thinking parsing it into seperate strings using substr and instr but, I'm not sure if that's overkill or not.Depending on your requirements, you might need to do that.
Replace is ideal but - it replaces every occurrence so - you can state just replace the first occurrence with one value and the second with another (i.e. if the desired result after replacing the above string was supposed to be "This is the string I am referring to"As you said, REPLACE changes all occurrences. There's no way to tell it (for example) to change only the first one.
REGEXP_REPLACE, is a lot more flexible. It does have an option for giving a specific occurrence, but you may not even need that feature. You might just want something like
REGEXP_REPLACE ( '%s is the %s I am referring to'
            , '(.*)%s(.*)%s(.*)'
            , '\1This\2string\3'
            )It all depends on your data and your requirements.
Are the new values (such as 'This' and 'string') fixed, or can they change from row to row?
Will you always have 2 (or some known number) of '%s's in the original string?
Does '%' always signal something that is to be replaced? If not, how can you tell when it does and when it doesn't?
Does 's' always come right after '%'? If not, what are the possibilites, and what do the different characters signify?

Forms.INS(72) No String value associated with this variable

When I try to distribute my application I need to make sure that
when my app installs it either adds or creates the environment
variable Forms60_Path. This can be done in the project
builder. When going through this one of the steps you have
ability to add new environment variables. So I add on one named
Forms60_Path with a value and contents of %PROD_HOME% and with
the append set to yes.
This now will give me either one or two errors when installing
the application. The first error is that because i am choosing
append set to yes it doesn't appear to be checking if the
variable is already there or not. What it does do is give me a
messages saying "A file not found while trying to translate
Forms60_Path from '$Oracle' would u like to retry, ignore or
process' I have choosen to process and the installer correctly
adds the registry entry. That is a good thing but i still
should not recieve an error when doing this it should check to
see if the Reg entry is there if not then create it, if it is
there then append to it. This only happens if you have append
set to yes and the environment variable does not exist in the
registry yet.
The second error is more concerning because it just cancels out
of the install all together. What it does no matter what under
any circurmstance after you have added an environment variable
in the delivery wizard is give u a message saying that
"Form_Name.INS(72) No String Value associated with this
variable" This error always comes up no matter what. After
looking throught the INS file I took out the line
"win32_register_map_variable(repl_var);" and I no longer
recieved that error. My question is why do I get this error and
what is the ramifications of taking this line out of the INS
file?
If no one else has had these problems I will be simply amazed!!!
Thanks,
Spencer Tabbert

Spencer,
I am also getting the error you got months ago. (The second one: FORM.ins(72): No string value associated with this variable.) Can you tell me how you were able
to fix it? I would appreciate it.
I am new to Project Builder and pretty
confused.
Thanks,

Registry key string values disappearing with SCOM

I'm trying to determine why some registry key string values are disappearing when Windows Server 2008 machines are restarting. In all cases, System Center Operations Manager is installed on the server. The registry keys whose string values are deleted are
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\IISADMIN, HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC, and HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WAS.
The string value is the same in all cases. The string data item is called "Environment" and the string multisz value is "COR_ENABLE_PROFILING=0x1".
Does SCOM, or part of it such as the Avicode monitor, cause these values to be removed when a system is restarted?
Thanks,
Bob

Bob,
SCOM2007 will do nothing in that sense, unless it is integrated with AVIcode --> but that would mean you have TWO agents on the machine (the SCOM and the AVIcode agent), since they were two separate products... where you run your other profiler,
you should not use AVIcode.
SCOM2012 installs the APM piece with its agent... but leaves it DISABLED until you configure it. While it is disabled, no rule that touches configuration gets applied to it. Once you do ENABLE the APM functionality, then yes, we will go and change the registry
key adding ourselves (APM) as profiler... because that is what the configuration to tells us to do. If you REMOVE that configuration, we'll clear ourselves out of it.
But again, it requires configuration to be done -- otherwise, out of the box, we do none of this.

JDBC MS Access--- cannot extract entry with null value with data type Meta

I'm trying to extract a data entry with null value by using JDBC. The database is MS Access.
The question is how to extract null entry with data type memo? The following code works when the label has data type Text, but it throws sqlException when the data type is memo.
Any advice will be appreciated! thanks!
Following are the table description and JDBC code:
test table has the following attributes:
Field name Data Type
name Text
label Memo
table contents:
name label
me null
you gates
Code:
String query = "SELECT name, label FROM test where name like 'me' ";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
while (rs.next())
String name = rs.getString("name");
rs.getString("val");
String label = rs.getString("label");
System.out.println("\t"+name+"\t"+label);
catch (SQLException ex)
System.out.println(ex.getSQLState());
System.out.println(ex.getErrorCode());
System.out.println("in sqlexception");
output:
C:\Temp\SEFormExtractor>java DBTest
yet SELECT name, label FROM test
null
0
in sqlexception

The question is how to extract null entry with data type memo?Okay, what you need to do is this:
if (rs.getString("val") == null)
// do something
}This way, when it's a null value, you can check it first, and then handle it how you want, rather than getting an exception.

Problems with string comparison using

I have a problem using the > and < comparison operators.
When the xsl:if test uses numeric values the comparison works OK. If the
test uses string values it always returns a false result.
The style sheet below shows an example (which should run against any
XML doc with a root element)
Note - the spurious
tags are just for debugging- I write the
output to an HTML page and IE happens to recognise them
even though the rest of the HTML tags are missing !!

Having looked at the XPath spec I believe what I am trying to do (compare strings with gt and lt type tests) is not supported. The spec indicates that they can only be used for node sets or numerics. Presumably the processor is attempting to convert the values to numbers but evaluating them both as NaN (not a number). Can someone confirm this.
I find this restriction quite strange, is this a situation where an extension function is required ? If so can someone point me to some (Java) examples.

Dynamic action with set value on date field

Hi,
I'm using APEX 4.02
I'm trying to calculate the age based on the date of birth dynamically on a form. I'm trying to do this with a (advanced)dynamic action with set value.
I'm able to get this kind of action working based on a number field etc, but NEVER on a date field.
I've read all posts on this subject but so far no solution. Even if I try to simply copy the value over to another date field or typecast it to a string ( to_char function ) it does not work. So for me the problem seems to be in the source field being a date field.
I've tried using the source value as is in a select statement :
select :P33_GEBOORTEDATUM from dual;
and also type casted based on the date format :
select TO_DATE(:P33_GEBOORTEDATUM,'DD-MON-YYYY') from dual
but still no luck.
On the same form I don't have any issues as long as the calculation is based on number fields, but as soon as I start using dates all goes wrong.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If you need any extra info just let me know.
Cheers
Bas
b.t.w My application default date format is DD-MON-YYYY, maybe this has something to do with the issue .... ?
Edited by: user3338841 on 3-apr-2011 7:33

Hi,
Create a dynamic action named "set age" with following values.
Event: Change
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): P1_DATE_OF_BIRTH
Action: Set value
Fire on page load: TRUE
Set Type: PL/SQL Expression
PL/SQL Expression: ROUND( (SYSDATE - :P1_DATE_OF_BIRTH)/365.24,0)
Page items to submit: P1_DATE_OF_BIRTH
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): P1_AGE

In the above code im geeting project D which is an integer value. But not able to get the project name.
Please some one guide me.

As I said in the other thread, this really isn't the place to ask questions about a database API unrelated to the Illustrator SDK. You're far more like to find people familliar with your problem on a forum that is dedicated to answering those kinds of questions instead.

Problem with checkbox value and app.settings.getSetting()

Hello everyone.
I`ve got a problem with getting saved settings for checkbox.
Saved settings doesn`t apply on checkbox value.
It`s strange, but it always "true".
So here piece of code:
checkMe = 11;    //any value for the first time running
if (app.settings.haveSetting("savea", "chck")) {
                      checkMe = app.settings.getSetting("savea", "chck"); // get saved value, else 11
                      alert("checkMe = "+checkMe)
                    if(checkMe == 11){
                        checkMe= false;   //if there is no saved settings, checkbox value will be false/ unchecked
                        alert("You run this script first time, so manual value will be 'false'")
                        }else{
                            checkMe = app.settings.getSetting("savea", "chck");     // if saved settings exist, get true or false
     alert("Yes, checkMe will = "+checkMe)
win.checkPanel.chkOne.value = checkMe; /// checkbox value will equal saved checkMe
var fff = win.checkPanel.chkOne.value; // string for alert
alert("aha! but checkbox value is = " +fff+ "\n Why so?")     // here we`ve got always "true"
win.checkPanel.chkOne.onClick = function () {
    var path11 = win.checkPanel.chkOne.value; // checkbox value to variable
    app.settings.saveSetting("savea", "chck", path11); //saving checkbox value
    alert("Saved this value - " + app.settings.getSetting("savea", "chck"))
win.checkPanel.chkOne.value is always true.
Can someone exmplain why and how to get rid of this static value?
P.S. just in case, here is full code:
function mainFun()
    this.windowRef = null;
mainFun.prototype.run = function()

          win.checkPanel.chkOne = win.checkPanel.add("checkbox", [10, 15, 125, 35], "Checkbox One");
          //win.checkPanel.chkTxtOne = win.checkPanel.add('edittext', [140, 15, 230, 35], '');
     win.quitBtn = win.add("button", [110,275,200,295], "Close");
checkMe = 11;    //any value for the first time running
if (app.settings.haveSetting("savea", "chck")) {
                      checkMe = app.settings.getSetting("savea", "chck"); // get saved value, else 11
                      alert("checkMe = "+checkMe)
                    if(checkMe == 11){
                        checkMe= false;   //if there is no saved settings, checkbox value will be false/ unchecked

Played around with different values, combinations...
Doesn`t work too:
checkMe = 111;    //any value for the first time running
if (app.settings.haveSetting("333", "check")) {
                      checkMe = app.settings.getSetting("333", "check");
alert(checkMe);
                if(checkMe == 111){
                         win.checkPanel.chkOne.value= false;
                        }else{
                            if (checkMe != false){
                            win.checkPanel.chkOne.value= true;
                            }else{
                            win.checkPanel.chkOne.value= false;
win.checkPanel.chkOne.onClick = function () {
    var path11 = win.checkPanel.chkOne.value;
    var path12 = path11.toString();
    app.settings.saveSetting("333", "check", path12);
    alert("Saved value - " + app.settings.getSetting("333", "check"))

How to set an attribute of a HTML tag with a value in the Servlet

I have a HTML page and a Servlet.
The HTML page sends a request to the Servlet.
The Servlet has to read the contents of the HTML page. When the Servlet encounters the body tag it should set the bgcolor attribute of the body tag with a string(For eg.a string called color with a value blue) in the servlet.
After doing this the Servlet has to update the original HTML page with the changes (in the body tag).
I need a help on this.

Hi sangee,
you could get what you want to do by using a Java Server Page instead of both a HTML page and a Servlet.
I should code something like this:
<%Strung color="yourColor"%>
<html><head><title></title></head>
<body bgcolor="<%=color%>
</body>
</html>

Ring with string value
