Shared variable data type: Can I choose an array of a custom typedef, without making the array itself a typedef?

Hi all,
I'd like to pass an array of a cluster across my network. My cluster is typedef'ed, but I'd like to avoid polluting my project with another redundant typedef.
Is it possible to use the shared variable's "From Custom Control..." option with an array, without saving the array as a new .ctl file?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ah, I didn't realize you were using shared variables. I thought you were just considering it as another option along with TCP/IP or UDP or something like that. In this case, you would have to create a second custom control. This control would be an array with teh typedef cluster in it. No need to make this new control itself a typedef though. Sorry, I know you were hoping for a different answer. I doubt one file will really "clutter" your project though

  • Declare Variable Data Types

    From my understanding, there is no need to declare variables
    data type like String, Number, Array for it to function. For
    example:
    var abc:String = "abcde";
    var abc:Number = 1234;
    var abc:Array = new Array();
    We can write it in easier way and it is still working.
    abc = "abcde";
    abc = 1234;
    abc = new Array();
    So, what is the purpose and benefit to declare the variable
    specific data type?

    i mean that as3 (= actionscript 3) requires variable typing
    in most situations or the flash compiler will throw an error.
    and no, failing to use strict typing won't cause any
    debugging problems.
    there's also some "feeling" that strict typing enhances code
    efficiency, but i haven't seen anything convincing on this.

  • I want to update the OS of the Macbook Pro I bought today to Lion, but at "purchase date" I can only choose 2011. Now what?

    I want to update the OS of the Macbook Pro I bought today to Lion, but at "purchase date" I can only choose 2011. Now what?

    Sorry but I don't completely understand your question or what you are trying to do.
    If you purchase a new MBP Today, Jan 3 2012, it should already have OS X Lion 10.7.x installed on it.
    Only some left over early 2011 model that stores may have had sitting around would of come with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Or even if you bought a Reburbished model from Apple it would of still came from them with Lion.
    So my questions are.
    1) Did you buy this new from a authorized Apple store or reseller?
    2) If not new was it purchased from an authorized Apple store or reseller?
    3) To my knowledge when trying to do updates to the OS there is no check of purchase date. So what exactly are you doing that asks for a purchase date?
    If new then just use the Software Updates in the Apple Logo menu item.
    If not new and it originally came with Snow Leopard or Leopard you will have to buy OS X Lion at the Online Apple Store. If that is the case then nyou need to put in the original date the unit was purchased NEW and or manufactured. That way the Online Apple Store can tell if Lion will function on that model properly.

  • Which Data-Types can be used as Widget Parameters?

    Hi,
    I have been playing about with widgets (specifically widget parameters) for a while now.
    I've got to wondering, exactly which data-types can Captivate turn into widget parameters?
    So far I know that you can use:
    Numbers,
    Strings,
    Arrays,
    Objects
    and Booleans,
    as parameters.
    Which ones am I missing?
    I know some don't work, because I tried storing a MovieClip as a parameter and that didn't work.

    Hi Eccles,
    You can set all basic data types supported in flash viz.,
    1)Numbers
    2)Strings
    3)Arrays
    4)Objects
    Since in Action script , an Object can be anything (array , array of objects , array of objects which by themselves are array of objects and so on ) , you can virtualy send anything as widget params
    But there are two caveats to this
    1)Object References
    -Object References do not have any meaning once the swf is closed.But the widget params have to be stored across sessions.So If you send a reference as part of widget params it is not going to work.
    This is why sending a Movie Clip (which is actually a reference to an Object ) does not work
    If you want to send such things you will have to 'serialize' the object.
    2)Size of the Object that you send
    The size of the object that you send can have an impact on performance.And since any object that you send has to be converted into XML , objects like bitmaps can turn out to be huge and difficult to handle.
    This brings us down to this - you can send any object across as widget param as long as it is small and serialized.

  • How can I create a custom data type that is a 2D array of string by using TestStand API?

    Hi all,
    I'm new in TestStand:
    I'm able to create a custom data type that is a 1D array of string but I cannot find the way to create a 2D array of string.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thank you in advance.
    Federico

    I made it!!
    Indeed my 2D array is an item of a container:
    /*  Create a new container */
    RunState.Engine.NewPropertyObject(Locals.NewDataType,PropValType_Container,False,"",0)
    /*  Create an array of strings as item of the container */
    Locals.NewDataType.NewSubProperty("Array_2D",PropValType_String,True,"",0)
    /*  Reshape the array as an empty 2D array */
    Locals.NewDataType.GetPropertyObject("Array_2D",0).Type.ArrayDimensions.SetBoundsByStrings("[0][0]","[][]")
    being:
    NewDataType a local property (type Object)

  • I reinstalled my OS and now it wants to empty my phone.  How can I get it to back up my phone without removing the data?

    I reinstalled my OS and now it wants to empty my phone.  How can I get it to back up my phone without removing the data?

    You can't. But if you backed up your computer prior to wiping it out, you should be able to restore your iTunes library, contacts, photos, etc. from that backup. Once you do, you can set the phone up again and just sync everything from your library back to it.
    If you didn't back the computer up either, you can transfer items purchased on the phone into iTunes, and if you set up at least one contact in whatever application you sync your contacts to on the computer, it will offer to merge the address books on the first sync, saving those.  Any media you'd acquired from sources other than the iTunes store will have to be re-downloaded from the source or re-ripped.
    The iPhone is NOT a backup device.

    I've forgotten my administrator password and can't download software. can anyone advise how to reset a new password without having the original?

    Forgot Your Account Password
    For Snow Leopard and earlier
         Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
    For Lion/Mountain Lion
        Boot to the Recovery HD:
    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.
         When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
         Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
         instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
         Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
         OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    If you are unable to boot from an installer DVD:
    (these will only work on Leopard or earlier)
      1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down
          the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
      2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each
          command line:
         /sbin/fsck -yf
         If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command
         until you do.  If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK"
         message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
         mount -uw /
         cd /private/var/db/netinfo
         mv local.nidb local.old
         rm ../.AppleSetupDone
         shutdown -r now
    The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
    This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
    Reset Admin Password Using The Terminal
    You can reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
    First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what the directory is called in the Users folder.
    Now, start in Single-user Mode. It should boot into a command line.
    Enter these exact lines. Press RETURN after each.
    mount -uw /
    ifconfig lo0 up
    cd /var/db/netinfo
    netinfod -s local
    Now you'll need that short name. Enter "passwd", a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was rather prosaically called "imadmin", you would enter "passwd imadmin".
    The computer will now prompt you to change the password for "lmadmin" (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and enter a new password.
    Now, enter:
    sync
    reboot
    and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed.

  • How can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

    how can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

    Jim,
    Take heart.  We can help.
    First turn on page view so you can see how the content of your sheet fits on the page(s).  A Numbers document contains sheets (listed on the left) which in turn contain tables, charts, text, and graphics.  Select the sheet you want to print on the left, then enable page view by selecting the menu item:
    "View > Show Print View":
    Now you should see your content and how it fits on one, or more, pages.  If thie content is too big for one page use the controls and the bottom left of the window to expose the sheet controls:
    Here a table is too big to fit on one page:
    slide the "Content Scale" slider so the content fits:

  • How can I create a long employment form without making the form widget drag?

    How can I create a long employment form without making the form widget drag?

    Sorry Sachin, I mean that I created a simple form on the page from the widget and started adding fields to it. The more fields I add the slower the delay becomes in creating a new field. Even when I try to select and drag or move an item, there's a huge delay and sometimes the program feezes,  loose what i've done and have ot restart.
    I'm doing an enployment form that has more than 20 fields, at least, and I need to be able to build the fields in separate categories, like Education, Past Employment, etc... quickly without delay issues.
    I can probably send you a snap shot of what I'm talking about if I cna post it or attach it here..?

  • How can I delete a bookmark address in I cloud without deleting the whole account

    How can I delete a bookmark address in I cloud without deleting the complete account. Is it possible?

    Your question does not make much sense. iCloud syncs Safari's bookmarks between devices. If you delete a web site's bookmark from one device it will be removed from all other devices setup to sync to your iCloud account. If this is a bookmark to other websites you have an account with such as Amazon or other sites you are only removing the bookmark to that site, you would have to log into that website to remove thae account related to that site.
