Run formula from a button

Hi everyone,
I have a form with 2 blocks. The first one is the master block and the second is the detail block. I use the first block to type the values that I want to search on my detail block. So when I display all the values on my detail block, the user has to make changes on it, like putting numeric values. After they finish typing they press a button where I have the formula which is the one to calculate a percent, but when we press the button only the row where I have the cursor is the one that gets calculate and not the rest.
Can anyone please help to create a code to calculate all the rows at the same time?
This is what I have on the trigger right now:
Begin
     If :BLOCK1.ITEM1 Between 0 and 100 and :BLOCK1.ITEM2 Between 0 and 100
          and :BLOCK1.ITEM3 Between 0 and 100 then
          :BLOCK1.ITEM4 := (:BLOCK1.ITEM1 * 0.40) + (:BLOCK1.ITEM2 * 0.40) + (:BLOCK1.ITEM3 * 0.20);
     Elsif
          :BLOCK1.ITEM1 Between 0 and 100 and :BLOCK1.ITEM2 Between 0 and 100 and :BLOCK1.ITEM3 is null then
          :BLOCK1.ITEM4 := (:BLOCK1.ITEM1 + :BLOCK1.ITEM2)/2;
     Elsif
               :BLOCK1.ITEM1 Between 0 and 100 and :BLOCK1.ITEM2 is null and :BLOCK1.ITEM3 Between 0 and 100 then
               :BLOCK1.ITEM4 := (:BLOCK1.ITEM1 + :BLOCK1.ITEM3);
     End if;
End;
[/CODE]
Thanks in advance

After they finish typing they press a button where I have the formula which is the one to calculate a percent, but when we press the button only the row where I have the cursor is the one that gets calculate and not the rest.Can anyone please help to create a code to calculate all the rows at the same time?>
You don't mention your Forms version! If you are on Forms 5.0 or higher, you could use a Calculated Item to perform your calculate your percentage on each row. This would make your calculation real-time instead of on-demand and the calculation would be performed on each row! Open the property pallet of the calculated item and scroll to the Calculation node.
If you prefer to perform the calculation on-demand as you have coded it, then you need to loop through each record in the data block (as InoL suggests) otherwise it will only perform the calculation on the selected record.
I have to put that code on my button or on my block level? Put the code in your When-Button-Pressed trigger!
Hope this helps,

FRM-92101 error while running report from a button or menu

Hi All,
I am getting the error FRM-92101 while running report without parameter from a button or menu. I am using Developer Suit 10g. I get the error as it shows there has some configuration problem in my form. Will you please help me anyone how can i solve the problem. My previous forms running very well both with parameter and without parameter.
Arif

Hello Sir,
Thanks for your cooperation. I have solved my problem by myself. The fact was that, when i tried with the following code which made my report---
SELECT br.bid, br.bname, br.branchtxnstatus, dif.difference
FROM branch br,
(SELECT gladbrid branchid,
SUM
(CASE
WHEN ga.gl_acc_categry IN ('L', 'I')
THEN gd.gladbalance
ELSE -1 * gd.gladbalance
END
) AS difference
FROM glaccount ga, glaccountdetail gd
WHERE ga.glid = gd.gladglid
GROUP BY gladbrid) dif
WHERE dif.branchid = br.bid AND br.branchtxnstatus = :Br_Status
and dif.difference!=0
ORDER BY br.bid;
and the code against the button or menu item is---
DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('ASSET');
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
LOOP
rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
/*Display report in the browser*/
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://192.168.0.21:8889/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repserver90','_blank');
ELSE
message('Error when running report');
END IF;
Clear_message;
END;
Clear_message;
which has shown the error FRM-92101 and didn't run the report.
In that case I have changed the query to run the report. first of all i create a view following the query and build the report using a simple select query. that's etc. my report running fine now.
It is mentioned that there had no error on my codes.

ScriptUI run script from dialog button

Here is what I have right now. It is a little clunky in the way it works, and I would just like to make it a bit slicker.
I have a script on startup that creates a Menu item with a dropdown submenu item. when you click on the submenu item, it starts a script.
The first thing the script does is pop up a message box that tells them that two dialog boxes are going to popup. The first one asking them to choose the location of an xml file and the second dialog box that ask them to choose the location of their image folder. After they finish choosing their folder in the second dialog, the script takes those two values, makes them variables, and continues to run the rest of the script.
Here is what I would like it to do..
1. open a dialog window with two input fields, two "browse" buttons, and OK and CANCEL buttons
2. when you click the first browse button next to the first input field, it will open a file dialog window. You select your file and the file string will populate the input field
3. when you click the second button next to the second input field, it opens a folder dialog window. You select the folder and the string populates the second input field.
4. when you click OK, it feeds the values in the input fields to a script.
I already have scripts to that open the file and folder dialogs, but what I can't figure out how to do is to start and run a script from a button press, in this case, when the OK button is pressed. It is probably an onClick, but I haven't been able to find any examples of what the syntax would be.
The closest I have found is in the Beginning ScriptUI document that was on Jongware's site, in the section on Communication between windows. But that opens each of the windows with a different script and not using a button press to call a script.
As always, any point in the right direction is very much appreciated. thanks.

Thanks Gotterman, but the issue I was having was that the dialogs I was opening were not being created by me. They were more like OS generated windows. So I am not able to give the window a name, or the input field a name in order to reference it.
Peters response was actually correct, although I did have to open the folder dialog a bit differently to get it to work. I had to use a style that I got from Jongware in a previous thread, but the concept that Peter showed in the last post pointed me in the right direction.
I just have one more piece to figure out, how I am going to pass the variables to another script, but I think that is something i will have to work out on my own.
For anyone who is curious, here is the code I came up, modifying and combining some of Peters examples from the book plus the help he gave me in this thread. The alert after closing the dialog is just for testing to show that the values are being held by the variables so I can use them else where.
function mySnippet(){
//<fragment>
#target indesign;
#targetengine "session";
var w2 = new Window("palette", "Window 2", undefined, {resizeable: true});
var e2 = w2.add ("edittext"); e2.characters = 30;
var e3 = w2.add ("edittext"); e3.characters = 30;
var f2 = w2.add ("button", undefined,"Browse XML");
var f3 = w2.add ("button", undefined,"Browse Folder");
var f4 = w2.add ("button",undefined,"SAVE AND RUN");
var tf
var tfo
f2.onClick = function()                {
tf = File.openDialog("Select your XML File","*.xml");
if (tf != null)
e2.text = tf;
f3.onClick = function()                {
var tfol = new Folder("~/My Documents")
tfo = tfol.selectDlg("Get Folder");
if (tfo != null)
e3.text = tfo;
f4.onClick = function()
w2.close();
alert ("xml value: " + tf + "\nfolder value: " + tfo);
w2.show();
//</fragment>

How to run a dialog's method from a button's event handler?

I've created my first dialog from the samples, but I am having trouble figuring out how to run a method in my dialog from an button's event handler. Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
function CreateDialog()
    this.windowRef = null;
CreateDialog.prototype.run = function()
    //...declare a bunch of vars
    // Create a window of type palette.
    var win = new Window("dialog", "Element Spray Generator",[iTop,iLeft,iTop + iWidth,iLeft + iHeight] ); // bounds = [left, top, right, bottom]
    this.windowRef = win;
    // Add a frame for the contents.
    win.btnPanel = win.add("panel", [iPadding,iPadding,iWidth-iPadding,iHeight-iPadding], "");
    .... add a bunch of other stuff ...
    win.btnAdd = win.btnPanel.add("button", [win.btnRemove.bounds.left - iPadding - iButtonWidth,win.lstImages.bounds.bottom + iSmPadding,win.btnRemove.bounds.left - iPadding,win.lstImages.bounds.bottom + iSmPadding +iTextHeight], "Add");
    win.btnAdd.onClick = function() {
       //todo implement this
       var f = File.openDialog("Open File") ;
       win.lstImages.add("item", f.displayName );
       this.EnableControls();    //<--- problem is on this line here!!
    this.EnableControls(); //<--- this works
    // Display the window
    win.show();
    return true;
CreateDialog.prototype.EnableControls = function (){
    var result = true;
    result = result && (this.windowRef.ddlPaths.selection != "");
    result = result && (this.windowRef.lstImages.items.length > 0);
    this.windowRef.btnOK.enabled = result;

This may not be the reason, but when using the way I create dialogs 'this' inside of an onClick points to the control.
    win.btnAdd.onClick = function() {
       //todo implement this
       var f = File.openDialog("Open File") ;
       win.lstImages.add("item", f.displayName );
       this.EnableControls();    //<--- I would expect it to call another function of btnAdd
                                        // this.parent.EnableControls() might be what you want if the control is not in some other container

#Include or run script from HTML panel button?

I'v been trying to make a panel with the HTML widget and I keep running into issues. The buttons I made wont run the scripts. Is there a way to include js for PS inside the html to run when the button is pressed? <script></script> doesn't seem to work for things inside of PS. Or is there a way to run a script in PS from a button?
I guess I have multiple questions really. Do you always have to use _AdobeInvokeScript inside the button? I have seen some examples without it and I'm not sure what works and what doesn't.

Thank you Paul!
%20 is just how space characters are encoded and doesn't matter
Ye, I know this,.. it`s was my just suggestion...
So. The solution in this string:
var scriptFile = File(File($.fileName).parent.parent.absoluteURI + "/Change Render Locations.jsx")
Everything else is identical, in my script and in your. Of course except alerts. I remove them, and now i have just my button which works fine....
And may be you can suggest, why does not work "my" method of running the script?
Thanks again!

Disconnect from WiFi Button in Yosemite (Faster File Transfers via Airdrop)

Hi all! Just thought I'd share a great new pro-tip I found that's pretty handy.
Sometimes file transfers through a complex or busy network with a (think hotel lobby or coffee shop), Airdrop file transfers can run extremely slow vs. it going from computer to computer via no network (Ad Hoc). I was determined to find a work around for disconnecting from a WiFi network without turning off Wifi.
Anyways, Yosemite introduced a much asked for feature - The disconnect from WiFi button! Just hold down option while you select the WiFi indicator on the menu bar and click disconnect! Your WiFi will continue to be on and it simply won't connect to that network again. If you now search for other computers in AirDrop, it will find them and be a much faster computer to computer connection.

Testing in a new User will quickly tell you if the problem is system wide or if it's your User's folder that contains the problem.
CREATE A NEW USER
Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups Switch to the New User by logging out/in or use Fast User Switching.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Test Markup in Mail using the iCloud account.
Continue testing to see what works in the new User.
Do you still see the issue?
If yes, then the problem is with your base files.
If no, then the problem is in your User's folder.
Finder - my iMac name is - iMacs iMac. All of a sudden it become iMacs iMac (2) and latter iMacs iMac (6). What are these numbers ?
In System Preferences > Sharing you can see name. When Finder adds a number it indicates it's seeing another drive with the same name. You can select to rename but this could also be an indication of issues at the base level.
Do you have an external drive that could be used to clone your drive in case you need to do a clean install?

T61 Display Problem and Annoying Noise from ESC button area

I have two problems with my T61, model 6460-66U. One's with display and another is annoying noise coming from ESC button area.
Ordered in Feb, 2008 for college use, as soon as I start to use it there's some problem with the display quality. When using Aero there would be black square spots appearing on screen and would disappear when hovering mouse over these areas. Processing speed is somewhat slow when using Aero. While switching to Basic Vista style, those black square spots will only appear in the Windows Photo Gallery's left corner, like the image shows: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3149/2746362257_6dc6a4d6a2_o.jpg When playing videos, like avi, rmvb, wmv files, there's a common problem that the screen in the media player keeps flashing with the green color. I thought it was the RAM, because it's 1G so it got upgraded to 3G over summer break. Hoping the problem would be solved, but not . Recover the system back to factory status helps a little, but after upgrading the newest driver (7.15.11.7597) of Nvidia 140m there would be sudden black out on screen, and notice of display driver stopped working. When degrade to 7.15.11.129 version it runs fairly well but problem with Photo Gallery and videos as mentioned above still exist. I found a Korean media player which could fix the video playing problem, but with Windows Media player, Realplayer and other major video player the problem still exists. Screenshot of the problem is here http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3087/2746362307_aff12c556c_o.jpg I upgraded BIOS, but laptop would become slow and video images would blur/double shadows. So I swtiched it back.
And recent few days, there's annoying noise coming from in the upper left corner, where ESC button is. I don't know whether it's from the fan or the AC adapter, it's like Zssssss, and if I press my finger on it, the noise would be a little louder. There's a similar problem that I noticed in the first few weeks with the experience of this laptop, whenever I maximize the volume (both volume control of computer and the music player), some annoying noise, which is similar to this Zsss sound but louder will buzzing along with music. Didn't care much about that since if I don't maximize the volume it would just be fine. But this time the whining noise won't disappear. What probably cause this? Anyway to fix it, like replacing certain parts??
Suggessions and help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!!

Dirt can get under the button in an instant.
I use a strong suction vacuum cleaner and tip the computer from side to side and upside down while clicking the button to suck out the dirt.

ItunesU videos not playing in Itunes but play ok if you download to laptop's drive and run them from windows directory

I'm having a problem playing some ItunesU videos, some play okay, some just show black screen and don't play, others show a still image but then doesn't play when trying to view them from itunes store. The audio files play with no issues.
I am using windows 7.
However, if I download the videos that don't play to the laptop's drive and run them from the windows directory they play okay. I don't want to have to download videos to see if they are something I'd like to watch.
Just for reference, an example of a video that plays okay is by UC Berkeley Math 16A 001, Fall 2011. Another is Introduction to Robotics by MIT.
An example that just shows blank screen is Stanford's Iphone & Ipad development, Fall 2011, both HD and SD versions.
While an example of a video that just shows the initial image but doesn't play is Harvard's Statistics 110. If you adjust the time of the video, the video moves to that part of the video but only shows the image at that time, ex. at 13:02, but doesn't play.
I've tried reinstalling quicktime first, then itunes. I've also tried putting directdraw in safe mode, but the problem videos still won't play.
Could it be some setting, since it plays when the file is downloaded but won't play straight from itunes store online (ie. pressing the play button beside the video in the itunes list).
Help pls.

You might have more luck asking on a general Windows troubleshooting site, but my guess would be an invalid or old audio or CD driver (or firmware in the drive). You might try checking those to make sure you have the correct and most current drivers.
