To switch between map layers

Hello,
I have several layers at my map and would like to switch some of them if necessary.
This is because sometimes the objects overlap each other and total picture doesnt look impressive
Can somebody give me the necessary code?
I found one on this forum but it doesnt work
Thanks

Switch between layers in a BEx MAP

Hi,
   Does anyone have an idea how to switch between layers in a BEx Map? And manipulate the attributes on the MAP in WAD. I ever saw a demo of such a web template which could do that.
Thanks,

Hi,
here is some javascript which might be useful in your case
function create_checkbox(mapitem) {
   var prop = SAPBWGetItemProp(mapitem);
   if (prop != null){
      map_panel_html = "<form name="map_panel_input">";
         for(k=1;k<prop.length;k++){
            if (prop[k][0].substr(0,7) == "SUBITEM") {
                          prop2=SAPBWGetItemProp(prop[k][1]);
                          hidden = true;
                          if (prop2 != null) {
                                       for(l=1;l<prop.length;l++){
                                              if (prop2[l][0] == "HIDDEN") {
                                                    hidden = (prop2[l][1] == "X");
                          map_panel_html = map_panel_html +
                          "<input type="checkbox" name="" +prop[k][1] +
                "" value="" + prop[k][1] +
               "" onClick="change_map_layer(this.value, this.checked)"";
                        if (!hidden) {
                             map_panel_html = map_panel_html + " checked";
                        map_panel_html = map_panel_html + "> "+ prop[k][1] +"<br>"    ;
     map_panel_html = map_panel_html + "</form>";
    document.getElementById("map_panel").innerHTML = map_panel_html;
function change_map_layer(maplayer, show) {
   if (show) {
      location.href="<SAP_BW_URL>" + "&item=" + maplayer + "&hidden="
   else {
      location.href="<SAP_BW_URL>" + "&item=" + maplayer + "&hidden=X"
Just add additional a
<div id="map_panel"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
in your Web Template and replace MAP_1 with your web item name.
This code will check the map for its layers and you can show or hide them.

HT5392 How can I use an Action List to re-order my layers in iAd Producer? It looks like there's a tool for this, but I can't figure out how to use it. I want to use a button to switch between a text field and a drawing pad layer.

I am working on an iBooks Author Widget and want to allow the user to switch between drawing-pad functions and a text field on screen. I'd like to create an action that will automatically re-order the layers so that the text field is accessible when typing but covered when writing by hand. Then, I'd like the opposite to be available, so that the text field is accessible when typing, but the drawing pad is left alone.

Have you tried using the selections in the Encore menu viewer that show you selected and activated states?

Is there an expression that lets you switch between layers every other frame?

Kind of like flickering back and forth between two layers. I'm guessing adding an expression to the opacity on the top layer would do it.
Thanks,
Josh

Something like this applied to the opacity of the top layer:
f = timeToFrames(t = time + thisComp.displayStartTime);
if (f % 2 == 0){
0}
else 100
It's just a simple java test for even numbers
Hope this does what you want.
Another variation would be:
f = time / thisComp.frameDuration;
s = Math.round(f);
if (s % 2 == 0){
0}
else 100

When frequently switching between mobile and desktop view

When I frequently switching between mobile and desktop view I have to open the layers every time since they get closed/collapsed. Adobe may need to fix it for the next version.

You can use CTRL+# to switch between Code and Design View.
By the way, this is the Dreamweaver Application Development forum which deals with questions about using server-side scripting languages like PHP or ColdFusion. General Dreamweaver questions should be posted in the regular Dreamweaver General Discussions forum.
And while I´m at it: please use descriptive headlines such as "how to switch between Code and Design View" for your posts -- mentioning your screen name "Goula129" is not helpful to other users.

Switching between https and http requests

Hi,
Our application is built using ADF 10.1.3
This application need to be integrated with an in house built single sign on system. ( SSO system is built in C# and .NET)
This single sign on system only understand https request. Once user is validated against single sign on system, our application's authorization page is called in HTTPS mode. Once the user is authorized, he is forwarded to home page. While forwarding to home page, we want to convert the HTTPS request to HTTP.
Currently once the user is authenticated, all requests are happening in HTTPS mode.
We do not know how to make http request from existing https requested page.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Ranajit

Hi,
the way to do this is by redirecting the call from a PhaseListener or command button. The solution Avrom refers to is a PhaseListener that uses XML configuration file to determine whether or not the page you are navigating to requires https or http. The code that handles the protocol switch is printed below
* Determines if the requested page requires SSL and if the current protocol
* meets this need. If not the protocol is switched between http and https
* @param viewId
* @param pageRequiresSSL
public void handleProtocolSwitch(String viewId, boolean pageRequiresSSL)
    ExternalContext exctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
    boolean isSecureSSLChannel = ((HttpServletRequest)exctx.getRequest()).isSecure();
    // pages that require SSL and SSL is on, or pages that don't require
    // SSL but SSL is on and should be kept
    if (pageRequiresSSL && isSecureSSLChannel || !pageRequiresSSL && isSecureSSLChannel && isKeepSSLMode) {
    printDebugMessage("Page requires SSL = "+pageRequiresSSL+", channel is secure = "+isSecureSSLChannel+", is keep SSL = "+isKeepSSLMode);
    printDebugMessage("No protocol change required");
    // page requires SSL and SSL is not active. Switch to SSL.
    if (pageRequiresSSL && !isSecureSSLChannel) {
      printDebugMessage("Page requires SSL = "+pageRequiresSSL+", channel is secure = "+isSecureSSLChannel);
      printDebugMessage("Protocol change required to use https");
      switchToHttps(viewId);
    // switch to HTTP is page doesn't require SSL and channel isn't secure
    // and isKeepSSLMode is false
    if (!pageRequiresSSL && !isKeepSSLMode && isSecureSSLChannel) {
      printDebugMessage("Page requires SSL = "+pageRequiresSSL+", channel is secure = "+isSecureSSLChannel+", is keep SSL = "+isKeepSSLMode);
      printDebugMessage("Protocol change required to use http");
      switchToHttp(viewId);
    if (!pageRequiresSSL && !isSecureSSLChannel) {
      printDebugMessage("Page requires SSL = "+pageRequiresSSL+", channel is secure = "+isSecureSSLChannel);
      printDebugMessage("No protocol change required");

          e.printStackTrace();

      return remoteHost;
}If your container doesn't support session sharing between http and https then the session is renewed. In OC4J you will have to configure this.

Inform users on unsaved data when switching between/starting new TaskFlows?

Hi
In our case, we are using the multiTaskFlow concept to dynamically start new TaskFlows in Tabs. The simple requirement is to have a generic way to inform users on modified unsaved data when switching or starting new TaskFlow
I did research in google for answers, but did not found anything working.
For example, I added following checks (df=dirtyFlag) just before switching between Tabs and Menu-items:
boolean df1 = am.getApplicationModuleDef().isDirty();
boolean df2 = ControllerContext.getInstance().getCurrentRootViewPort().isDataDirty();
boolean df3 = ControllerContext.getInstance().getCurrentViewPort().isDataDirty();
boolean df4 = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getDirtyPageHandler().isDataDirty();
boolean df5 = am.getTransaction().isDirty();
boolean df6 = am.getDBTransaction().isDirty();
boolean df7 = bindingContext.getDefaultDataControl().isTransactionDirty();
boolean df8 = dcBindingContainer.getDataControl().isTransactionModified();
boolean df9 = dcBindingContainer.getDataControl().isTransactionDirty();
Start Application and perform a TAB switch without searching or changing anything
df1 true
df2 false
df3 false
df4 false
df5 false
df6 false
df7 false
df8 false
df9 false
Within a TaskFlow I perform a SEARCH and perform a TAB switch, flags change to following:
df1 true
df2 true
df3 true
df4 true
df5 true
df6 true
df7 false
df8 false
df9 false
I MODIFY values within TF and perform a TAB switch, flags remain same and regardless what I do, they remain so:
df1 true
df2 true
df3 true
df4 true
df5 true
df6 true
df7 false
df8 false
df9 false
Do you know a working approach?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
its for when you leave a view, not when you switch task flows in a page. To get back to your question, one thing you forgot to mention is what data control state is it that the task flows have: shared or isolated? If they have a shared state then only a single transaction is on and you should be able to tell the dirty state by calling
boolean df2 = ControllerContext.getInstance().getCurrentRootViewPort().isDataDirty();
However, if the task flow is in isolated mode then you will need to get a handle to the data control frame used by that task flow.
BindingContext ctx = oracle.adf.controller.binding.BindingUtils.getBindingContext();
String frameName = ctx.getCurrentDataControlFrame();
DataControlFrame frame = ctx.findDataControlFrame(frameName);
boolean isDirty = frame.isTransactionDirty();
//see: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E15051_01/apirefs.1111/e10653/oracle/adf/model/DataControlFrame.htmlHowever, this information is only available from within the task flow, which means to check this from the outside you need to provide a mechanism to get to this information (contextual events would be an option. You define a contextual event receiver on the task flows that when called checks the current transaction state and then "fires" the answer back to the caller, which then obtains a map of task flow transaction states to check before navigating away or switching task flows.

Switching Between Sessions Problem ...

Dear all,
I am using SGD 4.3 and I am experiencing the following problem ...
When switching between puTTY sessions using ALT and TAB or Suspend and Resume it is messing up the keyboard mapping.
When I begin to type within the puTTY session the text is prefixed with the ESC Character � ^ [ �
Does anyone know of a fix??
Thanks for any advice :)

Hi carmelomtta,
I am launching thepuTTY sessions via SGD. The puTTY executable resides on the same Windows Termiinal Server. The puTTY sessions that I open are pointing to the same IP address.
I launch one session from my Webtop and the keyboard input is fine. I launch another puTTY session via SGD and the keyboard mapping is fine.
I switch between the two sessions using ALT TAB and then begin to type and every character is prefixed with an ESC Character.
The problem is intermittent. It does not happen all the time.
Thank you for your help.

7344 servo motion switching between open and closed loop operation

I have a custom end-of-line test system presently using a 4-axis 7344 servo controller to perform various functional tests on small, brushed DC motors. The system is programmed in C/C++ and uses flex motion functions to control the motor during testing. Motors are coupled to external encoder feedback and third party PWM drives running in closed-loop torque mode from an analog command signal. The system uses all four motion axis channels on the 7344 board to independently and asynchronously test up to four production motors at a time.
In closed-loop mode, the system runs without issue, satisfying the battery of testing protocols executed by this system. I now have a request to add additional test functionality to the system. This testing must be run in open loop mode. Specifically, I need to use my +/- 10v analog output command to my torque drive to send different DAC output levels to the connected motor.drive while monitoring response.
I do not believe the flex motion library or 7344 controller includes functions to easily switch between open and closed loop mode without sending a new drive configuration. I am also under the impression that I cannot reconfigure one (or more) servo controller axis channels without disabling the entire drive. As my system runs each axis channel in an asynchronous manner, any requirement to shutdown all drives each time I change modes is an unworkable solution.
I am open to all ideas that will allow asynchronous operation of my 4 motor testing stations. If the only solution is to add a second 7344 controller and mechanical relays to switch the drive and motor wiring between two separately configured servo channels, so be it. I just want to explore any available avenue before I place a price tag on this new system requirement.
Bob

Jochen,
Thank you for the quick response. The 7344 board does an excellent job running my manufacturing motor assemblies through a custom end-of-line tester in closed loop mode. A portion of the performance history and test result couples the motor through a mechanical load and external shaft. The shaft is in contact with a linear encoder that closes my servo loop.
My new manufacturing requirement is to also sample/document how the small DC motor behaves in open loop operation. Your solution is exactly what I need to perform the additional functional tests on the product I am manufacturing. I see no reason why this cannot work. I was originally concerned that I would need to reinitialize the 7344 board after changing axis configuration. Initialization is a global event and impacts all four channels on the 7344 board.
Using flex_config_axis() to change axis configuration on a single channel without disturbing other potentially running axis channels will solve my concern. It will be several weeks before I can return to the manufacturing facility where the 7344-based testing machine is located. I will update this thread once I verify a successful result.
Bob

What is the diffrence between map and map.entry in core java

what is the diffrence between map and map.entry in core java . where it will be use ful. any one give one example plz.

A Map contains Map.Entry's
e.g.
        Map map = new LinkedHashMap(8);
        map.put(new Integer(1), "one");
        map.put(new Integer(2), "two");
        final Iterator iterator = map.entrySet().iterator();
        while (iterator.hasNext()) {
            Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry) iterator.next();
            System.out.println("key=" + entry.getKey() + ", value=" + entry.getValue());

Dreamweaver 6.1 - JavaScript error when switching between open tabs

When switching between open tabs a sequence of javascript
errors occurs. I had not used Dreamweaver for about 2 weeks, and
last time I used it with no problems.
I have tried uninstalling it, OKing removal of all files when
asked, re-installing it and updating with dwmx61_updater.exe, but I
still get the same errors.
This has rendered the software virtually unuseable, so any
help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm working to a
rapidly-approaching deadline.
"While executing Browse_Back enabled in toolbars.xml, a
JavaScript error occurred"
followed by
"While executing Browse_Forward enabled in toolbars.xml, a
JavaScript error occurred"
followed by
"While executing Browse_Stop enabled in toolbars.xml, a
JavaScript error occurred"
The relevant code seems to be :

<toolbar id="Browser_Toolbar" platform="win"
label="Browser Navigation" container="document"
initiallyVisible="false">
<button id="Browse_Back"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/back.gif"
disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/back_dis.gif"
tooltip="Back"
label="Back"
enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.isCmdEnabled('back')"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.backPage()"
update="onEveryIdle"/>
<button id="Browse_Forward"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/forward.gif"
disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/forward_dis.gif"
tooltip="Forward"
label="Forward"
enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.isCmdEnabled('forward')"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.forwardPage()"
update="onEveryIdle"/>
<button id="Browse_Stop"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/stop.gif"
disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/stop_dis.gif"
tooltip="Stop"
label="Stop"
enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.getPageBusy()"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.stopPage()"
update="onBrowserPageBusyChange"/>
<button id="Browse_Refresh"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/browserRefresh.gif"
tooltip="Refresh"
label="Refresh"
enabled="true"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.refreshPage()"/>
presumably the next error is caused by the previous ones
failing :
"While executing getCurrentValue in AddressURL.htm, a
JavaScript error occurred"
the relevan tcode :
function getCurrentValue()
var dom = dw.getDocumentDOM();
var value = dom.browser.getURL();
if (value && value.length)
//check if is it not a temp file
//extract the tail of the url
var filename = value;
var slashIndex = filename.lastIndexOf("/");
filename = filename.substring(slashIndex+1);
var tempIndex = filename.indexOf("TMP");
if (tempIndex != 0)
addRecentAddress(value);
return value;

You can try this simple fix -
Quit DW.
Find this folder -
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration\WinFileCache-*.dat
(these folders are normally hidden - you may have to use
Explorer > Tools >
Folder Options to unhide them)
and delete it.
Restart DW. Works better?

How can I switch between apps without going to home screen?

Is there anyway to switch between apps with one tap? (ie. without going to home screen first). Kind of like a command-tab feature.
Steve

Well, you can have one app that you can get to with a double push of the home button (set in settings which you want), but I think it's only your contacts list, or your ipod app. Still useful though.

Graphic distortion when switching between external and built-in display (rMBP)

Recently (within the past two weeks or so) I've noticed a strange issue when switching between my external display (Thunderbolt) and my built-in display on my 15" rMBP. The following issue seems to be specific to Photoshop CS6.
Typically, I'll have a PS document open on my external display and I'll wind up taking my to another location. If I close the PS document while on my built-in and then re-open it, I get all kinds of distortion and pixellation. Closing out PS and reopining, restarting, logging on/off; none of it seems to work. It seems like the issue is with the PSD itself, but it doesn't make any sense to me. Any ideas? Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/iCipSc7.jpg

Do you have intel gpy as well as other graphic card? You may be viewing document on different gpu's. PS does not like multiple gpu's.

How to make my application programmatically switch between English and Russian

Greetings from Colorado...
My application needs to be switchable between English and Russian. Future languages to add are Spanish and Chinese. The user selects a language
from a control before starting the program and then the program changes the Captions, Boolean Texts, Graph Labels, and Enum Type Strings to the
chosen language. For Russian, this requires a different set of characters. I have made substantial progress by:
Control Panels>Region and Language>Keyboards and Languages>Change Keyboards added Russian>Keyboard>Russian on my development
computer.
In the LabVIEW.ini file, I added UseUnicode=TRUE (thanks to a suggestion found in this forum)
Made property nodes for controls and used properties such as Interpret As Unicode (True for Russian, False for English), Text, Font Name, Font Size, etc.
I have used fonts Arial and Arial CYR for Russian and MS Sans Serif for English
Set the keyboard for Russian and enter Cyrillic characters into text constants that are set for Arial or Arial CYR font. Sometimes one works and
sometimes the other works. As long as I set the font name in the property node the same way the text went into the text constant, it generally
works. I wish I could understand why one works sometimes and the other works other times!
I have had trouble with the Boolean Text going off-center when changing fonts and languages and it seems that by setting the Lock Text In Center
property to False and then True again, it seems to work. Often changing Boolean texts between short and long texts causes some of the long text
to be non-displayed; I have remedied this by explicitly setting the width of the Boolean text in a property node.
Often, the Russian text appears as gibberish with strange right-angle characters, :s, =s, and tiny numbers. I have been able to remedy this on my
development computer by ensuring that the text constant on the block diagram has the same size as the caption is supposed to have. This
is not necessary for normal programming in English, but it seems to help here. But it doesn't always solve the problem.
Sometimes the English text appears as Chinese gibberish in an Enum Type selection list or in a graph label. On my development computer,
it seems that making the text the last property to change helps here.
By changing the sequences of assignments to a single property node with a long list of properties, I have been able to make some of these
controls to switch between languages without gibberish showing up.
A few hours ago, I had the Russian strings in the Enum Type control working, except that when selecting from the available items, only the first
word of the Russian string was displayed. Two of the items start with the same word, so the user can't distinguish them.
At that time the English strings were appearing as Chinese gibberish while the list during the selection process displayed in English. As soon
as I changed the selection, future attempts to change the selection gave Chinese gibberish during the selection process, too. But this was only
a problem in the executable version; the source-code version worked fine.
In an attempt to get rid of the Chinese gibberish, I made new constants and retyped the items into them. This worked! But then, the Russian
stopped working and gave gibberish angles and tiny numbers, even though I didn't touch any of the code that sets the properties in Russian mode.
After trying a few sequences of setting the properties for the graph X label on page 2 of my tab control, this label started working correctly for both
languages. But the text of that label comes through on page 1 of the tab control, partly obscured by other controls on that page. After the
program runs a few more seconds, these shadows disappear.
Most times I restart LabVIEW, I get an error message saying there was a crash due to fontmgr.cpp, line 7494. But there actually wasn't a crash.
My computer has Windows 7 64-bit. Deployment Computer has Windows 7 32-bit. LabVIEW version is 8.5.
I have probably 50 or 100 more controls and indicators to change to language programmability and figuring out all this stuff for each one is
terribly time-consuming and there is no assurance that all of them will ever work.
At this point, I'm hoping that I am on an entirely wrong path and someone will send me a clue to get me on a path that is more predictable.
Thanks in advance to all who post ideas!

Hi All,
I've made a lot of progress on this translation, but it's been really hard. There are lots of weird things going on that must be logical because they're in a computer, but I can't figure out what the logic is. When changing a font on a caption using the front panel, it sometimes changes the font on the caption and sometimes doesn't although the indicator always indicates the new font. Removing the first character of the unicode font string being sent to the caption seems to help...huh? Anyway, tabs still can't change language programmatically, and niether can ring controls (some kinds will take the new list of strings, but when selecting, they only display the first word of the string!). Boolean text can be reprogrammed, but only if the boolean text is set to be the same for both true and false states. When reprogramming captions on a non-displayed page of a multi-page tab-controlled user interface, the new text appears on the current page until I change pages back and forth. What a pain!
Sooo, NI....does LabVIEW 2011 have support for unicode fonts? Or, is there anything else in the new control style that will support programmatic language changing?
