User-Interface tab control question

Heey everyone,
I`ve disigned a program and a user interface, on this user interface there is a tab control (see attachement) in this tab control you can select several measurements. This is a school project and according to my teacher it isn`t clear enough which measurement is chosen.
My question: Is there a way to give the active tab a different color? If not then do you know a way to create a nice user-interface which has the same abilities as the tab control (select measurement and fil in values for the measurement).
Thank you
Currently using labview 8.2.1

Hi Grasman,
it is possible to give different Tabs different colors, first you should activate Multiple colors - "Right-click on a tab on the control. Select Advanced » Allow Multiple Colors.
To change only the color of the active tab, please see Steve Birds VI, you can find this on the following forum post
Active Tab Color

BPM Workspace Customization & User Interface: Best Practice Question

Hi All,
This is our first BPM Project in house and we are on Oracle BPM 11g.
The business process involves request for approval for a permit from a public user and internal users need to approve/reject the same. Pretty simple and straightforward so far.
But we are now having lots of questions wrt to user interface.
1. Work Space Changes.
If we develop this application completely in Oracle BPM, the outside user (general public) will also see the 'workspace' with its current interface. It would be impossible to handle user training on this interface for a simple Joe Bloe, who may not be computer savvy) So the requirement documents demand that the look and feel of the outside users should be totally different than what the workspace provides. They want this to be customized in such a way that iit would strip all of the default lay out (left navigation bar, and get rid of the upper section completely. with its list of tabs) and also to modify the task list that appears below).
We have figured out how to achieve this (by modifying the workspace .jar files and recompiling the same), but is this a good approach? What happens if we are developing a brand new application on the BPM in our shop? This change will affect that application as well, as the workspace is shared and common to all the apps? I want some of you experts to let us know, your thoughts on this. If this is not a recommended practice, what would be best way to achieve what we want using Oracle BPM? (Where we want a simple intuitive user interface, without the default add ons that comes with the work space)...
2. What would be the best method to create a user registration page (where a user creates his own login and password and maintains his account) for an application using the BPM ? Right now we are thinking this should be in either a ADF page/ JSP page or (worst case a PL SQL cartridge) that can be launched on the browser, which will be open and does not require any kind of authentication to access. Is this a good practice or recommended one? Or are we missing out on something within BPM application itself, that we are not aware of and that would let us do this?
3. Also, if we go with an external ADF application for the 'public' user interface developement, then how can we (or can we) leverage the BPM's internal storage for the submitted data from the payload? I understand that it stores this information currently on the server 'soa infra' tables some where? Thru an external ADF app, can we write into these tables (Is this recommended or just sounds plain ridiculous)???
Knowing answers to these questions will help us decide, if this is the right tool for the job at hand.
Appreciate your time and xpertise.
Thanks

Tab Control Question

Dear Sir
If I have a control in the front panel of one page in tab control and I want to add the same control in another page in tab control to use it. How can I do that ??
I'm waiting your reply

Then you are probably going to want a loop with an event structure.
One event would be: Changed Value on control 1. When that happens, you need to also change the value of control 2 (to the same number).
Second event would be: Changed Value on control 2. When that happens, change control 1 also.
There are a variety of ways of changing the value of a control (the easiest, but least elegant is to use a local variable) -- the important thing is the event structure.

Using LabView to serial interface my microscope how I make a user interface to make the stage move by pressing buttons?

I have used LabView very little and am trying to write a program to control a microscope. I want to be able to give it commands such as to get the stage to move left, right, forward, back, and return to zero. I'm having trouble implementing the code into my block diagram. I've been reading LabView 8.6 tutorials for a couple of weeks and I'm still learning. What I know that is that I need a event structure inside a while-loop for the user interface but I've been stuck.
Thanks for any help! If you need me to try and provide more information please say so.

Button.vi ‏21 KB

Alright so my serial port code should be inside a while loop unfortunately it doesn't work whenever I enter a command to move the stage. It sits there maybe I'm missing something.
So let me give you an overview to what happens in my code, so the configure serial port is very crucial. The VISA Write writes the bytes to the port. The first VISA Write takes the string to write command. I connected the second VISA write to make it easier whenever I enter a command, the \r will iniate the command as a whole. Example L\r will move the stage to Left once, ending up at VISA Read then closing. All of this found in separate case structures.
Now the user interface to control the the movement of the microscope is one of my issues, making several attempts to make it work yielded no results. My best work not the best but a attempt is attached, also one of the things with this I'm having trouble with is getting the button to talk to the stage. On previous buttons I worked on I could press the button and light up an LED on the front panel, I thought the same principle would relate to the movement of the stage, no such luck.
I hope I cleared up some misconceptions on my part, I appreciate your patience.

Implementing 2 Different User Interfaces

Hi all,
i have implemented an application that communicates with a certain type of
digital camera, now there is the demand to support a second type of
camera with a slightly different user interface. My question is, can i use the
code that i already have (something like the DLL concept in Windows, i
believe its called creating my own framework in Mac OS X) and just switch
between interfaces when i detect the second type of camera?
This brings up the question of using 2 different ViewControllers as well.I am
not sure how to go about that at all. Can anybody give me some pointers?
Thank you very much!
Best Regards

User interface through a network

Hello !
Is there a way (API or something else) in Java which would allow to load the UI
through a network? (except WebStart).
I mean something like Orace*Forms or telnet-session that is with no graphic in it.
Best wishes
Anton

The bit I didn't understand was whether you needed a
Graphical User Interface (GUI), or just a text based
interface.Just a text based interface.
Let me explain my task. I have two parts:
server side (EJB-based) and, of course, client (I don't know under what OS it will work). As for server side -- all is clear, I change something in it and a client automaticaly uses methods that I've changed. So all the client need to store localy is some interface (or declarations) to the main (executive) methods.
This is, unfortunatelly, not true for the user interface.
My question is: Is it possible to write in Java
text based user interface that can be sent to the client
over the network ? (for instance, over the telnet-protocol, so i don't care about what the telnet-client will be used, java-based or c-based or anything else).

User Interface Questions

I have already programmed some dialogs in JavaScript. I'm not using Script UI, although I've played around with Script UI a little bit. Now I'm getting a bit more advanced with some user interfaces and dialogs and have a few questions:
1. Is it possible to create a "live updating" dialog similar to InDesign's Files > New > Document, where based on a menu selection of a preset, the dialog's editboxes change their values to reflect that menu selection?
2. Can you program something like the Presets button in InDesign's New Document dialog where the user clicks "Save Preset", names it, and then the main dialog updates with the new preset the user just created.
3. Script UI does not have measurement friendly boxes, does it? By that I mean that when you enter inches, mm or picas, the box will translate it into the current measurement type.
4. I love the nudge option on the measurement editboxes. Can that be done via Script UI?
Ideally my coding needs to work in both CS2 and CS3 and I code in JavaScript because that's what I know, but if the "live updating" stuff is possible in AppleScript or VBScript I'd still like to be aware that it can be done.
While code examples of any of this are welcome, I mostly need to know what's possible, and any starting point you can offer will help (like the name of the control). That way I can start looking things up and figuring them out.
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Thanks for the answers Bob. They are exactly as I thought, but wanted to make sure. It sucks that we have to recreate (via code), things that were given to us before Script UI. I know Script UI is more powerful in some ways (and hopefully sure will get more powerful with time) but loosing measurement boxes is a big bummer. They had so many nice built in features. I feel like I need to reinvent the wheel with Script UI.
1. Do you have any example dialogs that you could post? I can often figure out how to get a lot of stuff done by looking over examples other people have created. Especially things where one feature interacts with another, but even just a dialog with menus, text, etc so I can check out how to layout the dialog. I have created one dialog with Script UI, but am not sure if I am doing it very efficiently and I couldn't find any Script UI stuff in InDesign's sample scripts.
2. I suspect if I use Script UI I'll have to verify that only numbers are entered into the edit fields right? I need numerical values only for what I will be doing. Any thoughts on the best way to verify it's only a number in there? Can I do that live in the dialog before the user clicks OK? Argh, all these complications make me less than enthusiastic to go to Script UI, but I really would like to be able to have a live updating dialog.

Controlling user interface settings on LiveCycle Designer ES4

How can you control the user interface settings on LiveCycle Designer ES4?

The problem you descibe has nothing to do with the PDF security settings.
If you have added scripts in the fields calculate event or set their access property to readOnly or protected you won't be able to change a fields value.
Ypu can check the current access setting in the Object palette under the Value tab.

Data Origin Types not filled in the tab "Control Data" of BP interface

Hello experts,
I have loaded the clients from ECC6.0 to CRM 4.0.
Before I have loaded the clients I have maintained the data origin type for the BP in spro -> cross application components -> SAP Business Partner -> Business partner -> Basic settings -> Data Origin -> Maintain Data Origin Type.
After I have done the load initial of clients, the field "Data Origin" is empty in the tab "Control Data" in BP interface. If I do F4 in the field appear the configuration that I did in spro appear.
For this field will appear filled I'll need to do more configurations in spro?
Best regards,
Mary

Hi Mary,
The middleware does not fill this field in BP master data. You can maintain data origin type in SPRO, however the mBdoc does not use this customizing in order to fill this field.
Please try to use the BADI CRM_DATAEXCHG_BADI in order to fill this field during master data download.
It hope it helps.

Gabriel Santana

Disabling Controls in the Full Featured User Interface

Hi Ppl,
I do not want few controls (variables view, stack view) to be displayed in my full featured User Interface. What is the best way to do this. Are there configuration parameters(UserInterface.xml) that could make these controls in visible. Or Should these controls be make in visible only through the Visible Property.
Thanks

Hi Dennis,
Will Deleting the controls solve the purpose ? I tried moving the controls from the visible part of the front panel. but when the code was run the controls came back to their original position. Then I discovered that the full featured user interface has some code to set the position,size etc of the controls. This part of the code also checks the number of controls present. So I was wondering if just editing the configuration alone could disable the controls.
Thanks

Dreamweaver user interface controls appear small and hard-to-read on high-density displays.

I have 3840x2160, 24" display and many of the user interface controls are small, hard to read and in some cases are cut off.
I see this issue existed with Photoshop and Adobe introduced a "Introducing scale the UI 200% for high-density displays for Windows" under "Experimental Features"
Photoshop: Introducing scale the UI 200% for high-density displays for Windows
However I don't see this option available in Dreamweaver? Is there another work around?

Wow, 4K resolution within a 24" space. You need a 200% increase in UI size just to work, I would think. Can you post a screenshot of the issue? I would like to see that. ;-)
With the changes the Dw team have made to the UI over the last few releases, and with the latest Workspaces, it almost feels like 720p is the main focus, or like the only Dw users that matter are on small Macbooks, with very limited screen real estate. I can still work on my laptop when I'm out of the office (17" at 1920x1080 on Windows 8.1), but the icons and controls are pretty small. Even with the added screen real estate, and the fact that the UI is still intact, I'd hate to have to use it for extended periods.
I voted as well.

Controling a user interface with extern DLL

Hi,
I am currently developing an application that is based on a graphical interface. I divide my code into multiple DLLs. By going this route, I met several problems. I want to know some facts:
1 - from the DLL can I assign values to textbox, read listbox of the GUI:GetCtrlVal (panelHandle, PANEL_TEXTBOX, val); (the GUI is integrating in the project who call the DLL)
2 - I use global variables "extern int" in my files. h and my functions. How do I change this variable declaration when I migrate to the DLL.
If you have any exemple describing how can i control a GUI with extern DLL.
Thanks

Hey Fishingman,
It looks like this post is very similar to your other post on Application Architecture. If this is the case, let's continue this discussion on this thread so that it is easier to follow for anyone else who may be keeping up with this.
To expand on my original response a little though - if you are just looking to be able to modify the user interface in a dll then take a look at this link. It explains how to set up dll function calls to modify a user interface. Again, I wouldn't suggest building your entire GUI through different dlls but it is definitely possible to modify it within a dll.

Trey C.

Cmd Tab greying out creative suite User Interface

Sometimes when I switch to a CS4 application using 'cmd Tab' the User Interface, Menu bar, tool palettes etc are a dark gray colour - grayed out and inactive. If I click on them they return to their usual appearance but its really annoying - is this a known issue? is there a fix?
Thanks
