Task Status bar?

Hey all,
Running a procedure in forms that reads from a spreadsheet, and then writes the data to a flat file. For the 500 or so lines it has to write, it is taking a considerable amount of time. I would love to have one of these "Task in Process" things come up so the user sees something ticking away instead of just staring at the screen. Help?
Chris

That is the Windows Taskbar and not part of Firefox.
The Firefox Status Bar shows messages like Looking up and Waiting for and loading and Done.
If you do not see that Taskbar with Firefox closed then you may have hidden it.
Try to move the mouse at the bottom and see if you can pull it up with the left mouse button pressed.
If the Taskbar disappear if you open Firefox the check the Properties of the Taskbar to make sure that it is always visible.

My blue task/status bar at the bottom of the page is no longer visible. How do I turn that back on? The status bar feature under view does display it.

For some reason the blue status/task bar that would normally display at the bottom of the webpage (shows time, etc.) is no longer visible. I do not know how it got turned off and going to view-status bar simply enables a gray bar to display that says "done". I have searched using terms like "display task bar", etc and nothing comes up but view- status bar.

In 1 applications, e.g. Norton Virus Scan, and Macware DiskToolsPro, the status bar shows 100% but task is still running. Where it says x of y items complete, x is y. This also happens in Windows 7 with Bootcamp. Please explain.

In >1 applications, e.g. Norton Virus Scan, and Macware DiskToolsPro, the status bar sometimes shows 100% complete but task is still running. Under the status bar, where it says something like "x of y items complete," x is greater than y. This also happens in Windows 7 with Bootcamp. Why does this happen?

How can I implement a status bar at the bottom of a resizable application?

Hello all,
I am a JavaFx newbie and I am implementing an application (a Sokoban game), with a menu at the top of the frame and a gaming area covering the rest of the frame. To support the game, I have to load images at certain positions in the gaming area.
The game also includes a level editor with another menubar and where images are set to other positions.
I implemented this in another view, swiching from the game mode to the level editor mode and vice versa is just done by setting the other view visible. Up to now this works, here the important statements building these details:
Group root = new Group();
gameView = new Group(); // for gaming mode
le_view = new Group()   // for level editor mode
MenuBar gameMenubar = new MenuBar();
Menu menuGame = new Menu(bundle.getString("MenuGame"));
... building the menu items and menues ...
gameView.getChildren().add(gameMenubar);
ImageView buildingView[][] = new ImageView[22][22];
for (nCol = 0; nCol < 22; nCol++) {
    for (nRow = 0; nRow < 22; nRow++) {
        buildingView[nCol][nRow] = new ImageView();
        buildingView[nCol][nRow].setX(nCol * 26 + 5);
        buildingView[nCol][nRow].setY(nRow * 26 + 40);
        gameView.getChildren().add(buildingView[nCol][nRow]);
gameView.setVisible(true);
root.getChildren().add(gameView);
... same stuff to build the le_view ...
le_View.setVisible(false);
root.getChildren().add(le_View);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 800, 600, Color.CORNSILK); Now I want to introduce a status bar at the bottom of the frame, which of course has to follow the bottom of the frame, if it is resized. And of course the menu and the status bar should not grow vertically, if the height of the frame is increased.
The implementation seems to be easy with StackPane for the frame and one BorderPane for each mode.
For the first step I only tried implementing the game mode with only one BorderPane (just setting the menu, the gaming area and the status bar each into a HBox and setting these three HBoxes at the top, into the center and at the bottom). I also tried this via GridPane and via VBox; I always get any erroneous behaviour:
Either the menubar is visible, but the menus do not pop up the menu items, or the anchor point of the menu and of gaming area are set 100 pixels left of the left frame border and move into the frame when the frame width is increased, or the menu is set 20 pixels below the top of the frame, or HBox with the menu grows when the frame height is increased, so that the anchor point of the gaming area moves down.
Can you describe me a correct construction of such a frame? Thanks in advance.
Best regards

Hello Gerhard,
Glad the code helped, thanks for a fun layout exercise.
For the draft code I just pulled an icon off the internet over a http connection.
If you haven't done so already place any icons and graphics you need local to your project, so that resource lookups like:
Image img = new Image("http://www.julepstudios.com/images/close-icon.png");become
Image img = new Image("close-icon.png");then performance may improve.
Another possible reason for your performance problem could be that when you use a vbox, the vbox content can overflow the area of the borderpane center and might be sitting on top of the menu pane, making you unable to click the menu (which is what happens to me when I try that with the draft program with the vbox wrapping mod, then resize the scene to make it smaller). This was a trick which caught me and the reason that I used a Group originally rather than a vbox. I found a vbox still works but you need to tweak things a bit. The trick I saw was that the order in which you add stuff to the borderpane is important. The borderpane acts like a stack where the last thing added floats over the top of everything else if you size the scene small enough. For your project you want the menu on top always, so it always needs to be the last thing added to the borderpane, but when you swap in the level pane for the game pane, then back out again, the game pane can end up on top of the menu which makes the menu seem like you can't click it (only when the scene is sized small enough). It was quite a subtle bug which took me a little while to work out what was happening. For me the solution was to add just one vbox to the center of the border, and then swap the game pane and the level editor in and out of the vbox, that way the center of the layout always stayed behind the menu bar and the status bar.
I added some revisions to reflect the comments above and placed some comments in the code to note what was changed and why.
public class SampleGameLayoutRevised extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) { Application.launch(args); }
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
    final BorderPane gameLayout = new BorderPane();
    final Group gameView = new Group();
    final MenuBar gameMenubar = new MenuBar();
    final Menu gameMenu = new Menu("Mode");
    final VBox centerView = new VBox();
    centerView.setStyle("-fx-background-color: darkgreen"); // we set a background color on the center view to check if it overwrites the game menu.
    MenuItem playGameMenu = new MenuItem("Play Game");
    MenuItem levelEditMenu = new MenuItem("Edit Levels");
    gameMenu.getItems().add(playGameMenu);
    gameMenu.getItems().add(levelEditMenu);
    gameMenubar.getMenus().add(gameMenu);
    final StackPane levelEditView = new StackPane();
    levelEditView.getChildren().add(new Text("Level Editor"));
    ImageView buildingView[][] = new ImageView[22][22];
    Image img = new Image("http://www.julepstudios.com/images/close-icon.png"); // use of http here is just for example, instead use an image resource from your project files.
    for (int nCol = 0; nCol < 22; nCol++) {
      for (int nRow = 0; nRow < 22; nRow++) {
        ImageView imgView = new ImageView(img);
        imgView.setScaleX(0.5);
        imgView.setScaleY(0.5);
        buildingView[nCol][nRow] = imgView;
        buildingView[nCol][nRow].setX(nCol * 20 + 5);
        buildingView[nCol][nRow].setY(nRow * 20 + 40);
        gameView.getChildren().add(buildingView[nCol][nRow]);
    final VBox statusBar = new VBox();
    final Text statusText = new Text("Playing Game");
    statusBar.getChildren().add(statusText);
    statusBar.setStyle("-fx-background-color: cornsilk"); // we set a background color on the status bar,
                                                          // because we can't rely on the scene background color
                                                          // because, if the scene is sized small, the status bar will start to overlay the game view
                                                          // and if we don't explicitly set the statusBar background the center view will start
                                                          // to bleed through the transparent background of the statusBar.
    gameLayout.setCenter(centerView); // we add the centerview first and we never change it, instead we put it's changeable contents in a vbox and change out the vbox content.
    gameLayout.setBottom(statusBar);
    gameLayout.setTop(gameMenubar);   // note the game layout is the last thing added to the borderpane so it will always stay on top if the border pane is resized.
    playGameMenu.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
      public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
        centerView.getChildren().clear(); // here we perform a centerview vbox content swap.
        centerView.getChildren().add(gameView);
        statusText.setText("Playing Game");
    levelEditMenu.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
      public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
        centerView.getChildren().clear(); // here we perform a centerview vbox content swap.
        centerView.getChildren().add(levelEditView);
        statusText.setText("Editing Level");
    playGameMenu.fire();
    Scene scene = new Scene(gameLayout, 800, 600, Color.CORNSILK);
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.show();
}Other than that I am not sure of a reason for the slowdown you are seeing. In my experience JavaFX has been quick and responsive for the tasks I have been using it for. Admittedly, I just use if for a bunch of small trial projects, but I've never seen it unresponsive for a minute.

How do I get Javascript to work? It is enabled in options but nothing happens when I select something that begins "javascript" on the status bar at the bottom of screen.

When I tried to download a file from the Canon U.S.A, I clicked on the "I agree - begin download" button and nothing happened. The information in the status bar at bottom of screen, when the mouse cursor is over the download button is "javascript:downloadFile()". I got following from the error console -
Error: The stylesheet http://www.usa.canon.com/wsss/GeneratedPages/wsss_xsl/global.css was not loaded because its MIME type, "text/html", is not "text/css".
Source File: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/i_series/i950_series?selectedName=DriversAndSoftware
There were also many warnings about parsing of commands.
This sort of thing seems to happens whenever whenever javascript is involved.

I checked out the "Unable to download or save files" section. The only thing that seemed applicable was the "Reset download actions" section. I renamed the mimeTypes.rdf file to mimeTypes.rdf.old but it didn't seem to have any effect on downloading the file I wanted. There was still no response when I asked for the download.
I have noticed another problem that occurs when I try to download this file. I exit Firefox, then try to restart it. But nothing happens. I have discovered that in the Task Manager that the Firefox process is still running. When I end the Firefox process in the Task Manager, I am then able to restart Firefox.
By the way, I am able to download the file using Internet Explorer without difficulty.

How to disable status bar from creating a dead zone in the simulator

Is this a known bug in the simulator,where a hidden status bar is still grabbing touches? I constantly get frustrated by the inability to click at the top 20 or so pixels of the screen because that is a dead zone, and even though I have a hidden status bar the status bar is still grabbing touches there. Any way around this? And will this happen in the iPhone version, or is it just the simulator?

You have a point, if your users are filling the form in with Reader, they won't be able to save the data with the form unless the form has been "Reader Extended" (which enables this functionality in Reader for the particular form)
If you have Acrobat Pro, you can "extend" the form before you send it to the users. The following is from the Acrobat Pro help...
Enable Reader users to save form data
Ordinarily, Reader users can’t save filled-in copies of forms that they complete. However, you can extend rights to Reader users so they have the ability to do so. These extended rights also include the ability to add comments, use the Typewriter tool, and digitally sign the PDF.
1. Open a single PDF, or select one or more PDFs in a PDF Portfolio.
2. Choose Advanced > Extend Features In Adobe Reader.
These extended privileges are limited to the current PDF. When you create a different PDF form, you must perform this task again if you want to enable Reader users to save their own filled-in copies of that PDF.

Progress indicator in the status bar

Bridge often does a number of time-consuming activities where it would be useful as a user to know how far along it is, and how far it has to go. Since most of these are done in the background and don't interfere with the user doing more things, a progress meter would be inappropriate. However, the status bar is good place for such info. Currently, the status bar says what it's doing--just not how far along it has to go. Clearly, some operations cannot be known ahead of time, but of those that are known, it'd be great to know where it is in its task.

Thanks for you feedback. You wish has been granted (a "nn jobs pending" display indicate the number of thumbnails remaing to be thumbnail or metadata to be extracted, etc.. There are also better and more accurate progress dialogs). Check out the free beta of Bridge CS3 (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/photoshopcs3/)

Change task status in notification

is it possible to change the task status like the notification status (in process again). A completed task -> in process again. I can't find this function and also it isn't possible to delete a completed task.
Best Regards
Bernd

Hi,
you can delete the tasks in database table which has generated through action box item that means you can mark it as deleted. Take you notification number go to table qmsm and give that notification number and execute you will get the tasks select the task which you are going to delete and go to command bar type /H press enter and then press display then press F7 it will guide you to a line in code
if code = 'SHOW'. double click on that and in field contents type CAPS EDIT and press change button and then press F8 it will guide you to next screen i.e. QMSM table in change mode. In this set X for field KZLOESCH and delete the indicator in KZACTIONBOX field and save it. Again go to that notification in change mode and see the task.it will get deleted.
pls reward me with points if it is useful to you

Check status bar message type

Hi All,
Are there any function module or method that could use to check what message type (I,S etc) are prompting on the status bar?
Thanks.

Hi,
If i understand you requirement correctly, you have made some customization to a standard program's PBO/PAI. This customization updates some Z Tables. Now the flow is such that your customization executes before Standard program has completed its validations and there is a possibility that an error might be thrown later in the program validation and in such cases you do not want your changes to be committed to the Z tables.
If my understanding is correct, i can think of below solutions.
1) Since you are customizing the standard code, look for a EXIT/BADI which get triggered on SAVE and add your code here.
If you have tried this already and didn't find a suitable enhancement, then try with the below solution.
Create an FM with the processing type as an "Update Module" (attribute tab of the FM in SE37), and pass the data that needs updated in the Z table to this FM, inside this FM you can have your custom validations and code to update the Z table.
Now call this FM "CALL "FM" IN UPDATE TASK" in the PBO/PAI of your customization.
With this what you will achieve is that, the update modules will be called only if the original transaction was committed successfully.
Regards,
Chen

Dynamic status bar

I made up a status bar, but couldn't get it to be updated while some other task is being executed, like several printing jobs. The bar is a simple JPanel with a JLabel. I tried to revalidate the panel and another thread.
What do I have to do to get the message updated?

but couldn't get it to be updated while some other task is being executed, like several printing jobs.Its probably because you aren't using Threads. If your printing jobs are executing in the Event Thread then the GUI can't be updated until the printing is finished. The printing code should be moved to a separate Thread.

Firefox displays "Stopped" in the status bar; stops all the tabs and does not do anything!

Firefox displays "Stopped" in the status bar after running for a few minutes. It does not do anything on the page unless it is killed by opening the task manager. Sometimes I even have to restart the computer. And if that also doesn't work that shut down using the power button. Others have reported similar issues too.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== couple of weeks ago

Can't get multitasking status bar to show

I purchased an ipad original, and double tapping on the Home button does not bring up the multitasking status bar. I've tried resetting the device, but still no multitasking status bar. Any suggestions of what may be happening?
Also, how can I check to be sure I am on the latest OS? I do not see that info in the About section of the Settings.

The latest iOS version is 4.3.5 - it should show in Settings > General > About > Version on the iPad, and on the Summary tab when connected to your computer's iTunes (i.e. on the right-hand side of iTunes when you've selected the iPad device on the left-hand side of it) - there should also be a Check For Updates button on that tab which should check if there is more up-to-date version available than you've got installed.
The multi-tasking bar was introduced in iOS 4.1 (I think), so you need iOS 4+ on the iPad for the bar to appear

How to display messages in status bar

Hello,
Im developing some forms that will be published in EBS 12.1.1
Im using Oracle Forms Builder v 10.12.0.2.
Those forms are based on the Template form.
I have the following problem: Messages are not displayed in the status bar (for example messages about how many records were affected when the user press Save)
Do you know if I need to set up any property or another task that I need to do in order to see the messages ?
Thanks in advance,
Sergio Maestri

Sergio,
Even though your form is based on the Apps Template form, double-check to ensure it has all of the triggers it should have, like the Form level Key-Commit. The easiest way to make this comparison would be to open your custom form and then open one of the EBS forms like "ARXCUDCI". If your comparison shows no significant differences you might be dealing with a situation when the message is displaying in the Console (status bar) but something else is clearing the console. Check for any Clear_Message calls.
Hope this helps.
Craig...
