Show or hide nonprinting characters

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/illustrator/cs/using/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-63e5a .html

Looks like you might have a single large (?) carriage return in the text box.
Open the Character panel to see the size of your type.
To remove paragraph marks select Type > Hide hidden Characters.

[Mac 4.0.2] Show/Hide Hidden Characters

Hello,
Is it possible for my plugin to get notified when the end-user is switching Show/Hide Hidden Characters from InDesign's Type menu? And if the answer was YES then how could we do that would be the next question . . .
Any pointer or direction to have this event watcher implemented smoothly would be very much appreciated indeed.
Best regards
Patrick Perroud

Hi John,
I modified my script and now I am getting error when I run it first time and when I run it again then it run fine.
set the date_stamp to ((the current date) as string)
tell application "Finder" to quit
set OnOff to do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles"
if OnOff = "NO" or OnOff = "OFF" then
set OnOff to "ON"
tell application "Finder"
display dialog "Show all hidden files in this Mac ?" & return & return & date_stamp buttons {"Show Hidden Files", "Cancel"} default button 2 with title "/MSN/" with icon 1
end tell
else
set OnOff to "OFF"
tell application "Finder"
display dialog "Hide all hidden files in this Mac ?" & return & return & date_stamp buttons {"Hide Hidden Files", "Cancel"} default button 2 with title "/MSN/" with icon 1
end tell
end if
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles " & OnOff
delay 1
tell application "Finder" to launch

HT2523 Anyone know how to show nonprinting characters in Mac's textedit?

I grew up using word perfect and it always, at first, had non printing character on the screen. Anyone know how to turn on nonprinting characters in text edit? non printig characters are dots for spaces, an arrow for a tab, and much more.
Thanks

You might want to try the free TextWrangler as a substitute.

Does Pages '09 has "show all nonprinting characters" functionality?

I am a great admirer of Pages '09, and am using it as my default word-processor instead of MS-Office, however one functionality that I have not been able to figure out yet is how to highlight/view the "nonprinting characters" ... as the only way to see them is to click & drag mouse pointer over a paragraph and then I can see them, but then they disappear as soon as I de-select.
My question is, how can enable or view the nonprinting characters in a Pages '09 document? I can very easily do that in a MS-Word, but is there a similar functionality in Pages? If so, how to enable / use it?
Thanks for your support.

Force show (not toggle) hidden characters and threads in script

I have been working on a script to show all the extras (for the most part). I can turn on rulers and frame edges from the DOM, but can not Show Hidden Characters or Show Text Threads from the DOM. I've been working on using menuActions, but there two is a hitch. It seems that the menuActions are only available if the menu has been accessed during the current session? Not 100% on that. There is a good comment (#10) that touches on this a bit at Indiscripts :: How to Create your Own InDesign Menus.
This method works, but again only if the menu has been previously accessed... so it's not reliable:
// locale-independent (should work on non-english versions of InDesign)
// Show Hidden Characters
// FIX/TODO - Only seems to work if the Show/Hide Characters has been toggled within this session?!
var showHiddenChars = app.menuActions.item("$ID/HideHiddenCharactersCmdStr"); //The 'hide' ID String only valid when characters are hidden
var areCharsHidden = (showHiddenChars.isValid);
if (areCharsHidden == true) {
    try {showHiddenChars.invoke()} catch (givenError){alert(givenError.toString())};
else {
        //alert("Hidden characters are already shown!")
I also have a less desirable version of Showing Hidden Characters, which relies on English name property of the Menu Action. It suffers from the same issue.
//~     var acID = acID||
//~             ((t=app.menuActions.item("$ID/ShowHiddenCharactersCmdStr")).isValid&&t.id)||
//~             ((t=app.menuActions.item("$ID/HideHiddenCharactersCmdStr")).isValid&&t.id);
//~     var showHiddenChars = app.menuActions.itemByID(acID);
//~
//~     //if the name property for the menuAction is currently "Hide Hidden Characters", the characters are hidden.
//~     var areCharsHidden = (showHiddenChars.name == "Hide Hidden Characters");
//~     if (areCharsHidden == true) {
//~         try {showHiddenChars.invoke()} catch (givenError){};
//~         }
//~     else {
//~         //alert("Hidden characters are already shown!")
//~         }
Any suggestion on how to force show characters (show threads works the same way) with out having to have had accessed a menu before hand?
Thanks,
Kevin

When you have found a menu action you can remember its ID and use menuActions.itemByID() later on to retrieve it. Most action IDs are hard wired, bound to their implementing plugin. Of course there is an exception for dynamically allocated actions, e.g. script actions.
My first attempt following you is to retrieve the action name - that should trigger the internal method to update the whole action state including checked, enabled (not applicable in this case). Of course it failed, would someone please file a bug? The translated versions of strings that you'd use for the comparison are available via app.translateKeyString().
Btw you are using the wrong string - cmd strings are used for command history as seen in the undo menu. Menu strings usually have an ampersand character to indicate the underline / Alt+Key combo in Windows.
$.writeln(app.menuActions.itemByID(0x1d301).name==app.translateKeyString("$ID/Show Hidden Characters"));
$.writeln(app.menuActions.itemByID(0x1d301).name==app.translateKeyString("$ID/Hide Hidden Characters"));
app.translateKeyString("$ID/Show Hidden Characters")
Ergebnis: Verborgene Zeic&hen einblenden
app.translateKeyString("$ID/Hide Hidden Characters")
Ergebnis: &Verborgene Zeichen ausblenden
// failed test
$.writeln(app.menuActions.itemByID(0x1d301).name);
app.menuActions.itemByID(0x1d301).invoke();
$.writeln(app.menuActions.itemByID(0x1d301).name);
// output should change after invoke
Verborgene Zeichen ausblenden
Verborgene Zeichen ausblenden
As you found command strings, I also had a look at the undo history - it remained empty.
$.writeln(app.activeDocument.undoHistory.length);
Probably the setting is not persisted in the document any more, someone should have removed the command strings.
Then I realized that the output of the previous lines around the invoke had changed as it was expected originally. And I had not touched the menu since restart … but I had activated the application.
One can do that with scripting too - app.activate();
A couple of restarts later this is definitely leading somewhere.
Regarding the command, I also had a second look with a debug build of InDesign: the command is still executed, but there is a flag that binds its undo to the previous command - left as an exercise to verify.
Hmm. It is stored in the persistent document preferences in a structure internally called kDocWorkspaceBoss / ITextOptions, thus should also be exposed for scripting. Back to scripting: set a breakpoint, browse thru tons of document sub-objects, and here we are:
app.activeDocument.textPreferences.showInvisibles
Happy programming,
Dirk
Edit: when comparing the strings, you also have to strip the extra ampersand.

How to show or Hide Generic Column in a regular report

Hi All,
I have created report based on "SQL query (pl/sql function body returning sql query). It returns columns based on some conditions. I have total 60 generic columns like (COL1,COL2....COL60) but it returns 18 or 20 columns based on my conditions, how can I hide the columns that I don't needed. My column heading is based on function return by ':' separated. My function returns number of columns also. Is there any we I can show only those columns which contains data. My report is exactly similar to the default "SQL query (pl/sql function body returning sql query). I didn't find any logic how they are doing this show and hide. I appreciate any ones help.
Thanks,

Hi there,
Somehow you need to find out how many columns your dynamic select will return (by what you said it seems that your procedure returns this information). Then store that number in a hidden page item, say Pnn_COUNT.
Then, for the 19th and 20th columns in the report add these conditions:
Column 19: :Pnn_COUNT >= 19
Column 20: :Pnn_COUNT >= 20
I hope this helps.

How to show or hide portlets dynamically on a Portal Page

Dear All
1. I have a Portal Page with One Portlet in the top having like 5 Buttons. Each button click should display a separate portlet in the bottom on this same page.
2. I have Top Portlet. For bottom I have 5 Portlets P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5. On my .portal file, I dragged and dropped top portlet and all these 5 Portlets one below each other.
3. Now, I am trying to use BackingFile approach at PageLevel/Portlet level, to get the details of button clicked in top portlet (like name etc), and then show only one portlet at a time in the bottom section (using portlet backingcontext show/hide APIs). I do need to compare the bottom portlets defintion_label etc. which is fine for now.
Is this the right approach...?
Or do I have to use Portlet Custom Event approach. So top portlet will trigger event everytime button is clicked with some payload. And bottom 5 portlets listen to that event and show/hide accordingly. But in this approach, I have to attach backingfile to all the bottom portlets to listen to them.
All the portlets are Pageflow based Portlets. Any ideas or any other simpler approaches, are highly appreciated.
Thanks
Ravi Jegga

Hi Kevin
1. Thanks a lot for the pointers. I will go with Events. So for bottom Portlets, I will use the same BackingFile. But still it is going to be custom Event. Because only one portlet will be shown. So its like my payload will be portlet def label. In Backing File, I will compare this payload with actual dynamic value and if same, show or hide that portlet. Please let me know if this is correct approach.
2. Now each one of the Bottom Portlets is a complex pageflow portlet with many buttons of their own. So everytime a button is clicked or action is invoked, the Backing File gets called. And I had to somehow know that the same portlet has to be shown or the show/hide logic should not be called. Is there any way, where backing file gets called or just listen for Events triggered only from main top portlet.
Thanks for the other message, where looks like you already gave lots of pointers. I will go through them.
I will design and test this out and will keep you posted with my results.
Thanks a lot again

Show or Hide Items based on radio value

I am trying to show and hide various Items based on the values of a radio button item. I have see the code and examples like
function Show_On_Radio_Value(pThis, pThat, pValue){
var rv = html_RadioValue(pThis);
if (rv == pValue) {
html_ShowItemRow(pThat);
} else {
html_HideItemRow(pThat);
The problem I am having is that I have 3 different values of the radio item and I want to display certain items based on each different value.
For example:
radio_value = 'Yes'
Show Item1, Item3, Item4
or
radio_value = 'No'
Show Item2, Item5, Item6
or
radio_value = 'Maybe'
Show Item1, Item2, Item4
I am fairly new to this so it might be easy, I just don't know how.
Any help would be appreciated.
--DG

Arie,
Thanks for the reply. I have tried it using the Show_On_Radio_Value function but I still can't get it to do exactly what I want. I have a working version here http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=25290 ,
The code I used for this demo app is:
[script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript"]

[script]
In the HTML Form Element Attribute for the radio button:
onchange="Show_On_Radio_Value('P1_RADIO','P1_TEXTAREA','Maybe');
Hide_On_Radio_Value('P1_RADIO','P1_TEXTFIELD1','Maybe');
Hide_On_Radio_Value('P1_RADIO','P1_TEXTFIELD2','Maybe');
Hide_On_Radio_Value('P1_RADIO','P1_TEXTFIELD3','Maybe');
Hide_On_Radio_Value('P1_RADIO','P1_TEXTFIELD4','Maybe');
Hide_On_Radio_Value('P1_RADIO','P1_RADIOBUTTON','Maybe');
Hide_On_Radio_Value('P1_RADIO','P1_TEXTFIELD2','No');
Hide_On_Radio_Value('P1_RADIO','P1_TEXTFIELD4','No');
Hide_On_Radio_Value('P1_RADIO','P1_RADIOBUTTON','No');
The problem I see is that in the onchange event, the 'No' options are working because they appear last in the event.
Can you possibly provide an example using a Case statement?
Thanks,
DG

Freeze up when I try to show or hide vault

I can not show or hide my vault. Vault is located on external usb drive. Not sure if related but I just plugged in another external drive using fire wire connection. I would like to remove my current vault and then re-create the vault on my fire wire drive.
Thank you for the help - Tony

Tony,
I had all sorts of problems with vaults.
You should be able to just delete the vault from Aperture. Right click on the vault in Aperture and select Remove Vault.
On the new drive create a new vault, containing everything you want.
BTW I found that for the vaults to work correctly on an external drive I had to format as MAC OS Extended (Journaled)
Hope this helps,
Paul

How to show or hide a control in front panel

Hi All, I am revising the code from someone else, and a control in front panel seems to be hidden until you click something to make it show. I tried to use right click in front panel and it did not work by clicking something related to show or hide. Since I don't quite familiar with property nodes, this hidden setting may be related to that.
In the picture it shows the front panel and its two property nodes, could anyone advise me how to change the setting to show this control? Thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you right-click on the the control's terminal, you will see an option to "Hide Control" or "Show Control". This is what you should use when editing the code. The property nodes set to Visible are for when the application is running.

I had another idea that I am pursuing. I am looking into extending the current renderer CommandNavigationRenderer and will render another goLink just after the current goLink that will execute a close action. I was able to re-direct the rendering by added an override render-kit block in my current faces-config.xml file.
<render-kit>
<renderer>
<component-family>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.Command</component-family>
<renderer-type>oracle.adf.rich.NavigationItem</renderer-type>
<renderer-class>com.riscs.ui.backing.jsp.components.ClosableCommandNavigationItemRenderer</renderer-class>
</renderer>
</render-kit>
If this works I am planning on extending the commandNavigationItem by creating a ClosableCommandNavigation tag and add a "closeAction" tag that will determine if a close item should render.
Preliminary work looks promising. I will update if I make progress...please let me know if I am crazy.
Thanks.

Show or Hide the icons in a report column in APEX

Hi All,
I have a requirement to show or Hide a Delete Icon in my report.
Condition is whenever the transfer is completed, then the user should not see the Delete Icon for that particular row of the report. I.E. for example if there are 5 rows in the report, and for 2 rows the value of the Transfer is NULL, then the Delete icon should be appear to the user. If the value for the column transfer is Not Null for remaining 3 rows, then the user should not be able to see the Delete Icon.
For this I did like below,
In the report, I edited the Del_Icon and Selected 'Value of the Item/Column in Expression1 is NULL' and entered 'Transferred' in Expression1 in Conditional Display area. But even if the value for Transfer column is 'Transferred', the Delete Icon is still appearing for that row.
Can someone please let me know where can be the mistake is?
Please let me know if you require more info.
Actually in the application if we go to Transfer Page, there is an option to create a row for Transfer page. There is a column Transfer, If we do not enter any value for the column Transfer and submit the page, the record will be created and the Delete Icon should be appear. If I update the row in the application and provide some value, and click submit button, then the Delete Icon should not appear.
Edited by: 980540 on Apr 2, 2013 5:08 AM

You can do one thing, check the condition in the report sql itself and display the image
select case
            when transfer is null then '<a onclick="f_func()"><img src="#APP_IMAGES#img"></a>'
            else null
            end col1,
         col2
from tableI have used "APP_IMAGES" you can changes it accordingly.
and the <a> tag should be like this *<a onclick="f_func()"*
in the javascript function you can submit the page using apex.submit('REQUEST') and condition your delete process on the REQUEST.

Tauceef

Show or Hide empty table based on If condition

I want to show or hide empty table based on condition. The table will be empty with 5 rows,2 cols and should display if <?Rout_Information1_id1?> is blank or null or when XML field is not present. Actually the JDEdwards report will generate XML file. In the XML file if <?Rout_Information1_id1?> is present it will have definitely value like 'PULL' or 'Cut' otherwise sometimes XML field itself will not be present. Need to display the empty table when the <?Rout_Information1_id1?> is not present. I am trying to do as below but the table is not displayed. Can someone tell me how to resolve this.
<?if:Rout_Information1_id1=' '?>
5 rows,2 cols table
<?end if?>
Thanks,
Vijay Vattiprolu

Ok. I used the below syntax from other post and it resolved displaying empty table issue.
<?if:not(XML_TAG_NAME)?>
<?end if?>
Thanks,
