Webutil Open File Dialog look and feel

Webutil all revisions?, Windows NT 4.0/XP.
The open/save file dialog boxes in webutil are always the same style (Oracle/Motif?) when either the LookandFeel is set to Generic/Windows or Oracle/Motif.
Is there anyway to change it to always look like Windows Look and Feel?

Hello,
One possible way would be to write your own Java Bean component that call the standard openfile dialog, then set the LAF yourself:
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
...but, I know, this represents some extra work.

Folder appears in Windows Explorer, but not in the Open File dialog

Hello,
I hope this is the right place to post this. If not, please let me know where is.
A friend just showed me a weird problem he is having with his computer. He is using Windows 7 pro, and has a folder under My Documents, in which he keeps his work files. He emails these files using Gmail, which he accesses via Internet Explorer.
All worked fine until a few days ago, when he noticed that when he clicked the link in Gmail to attach a file, his folder wasn't listed in the Open File dialog. He looked in Windows Explorer, and could see the folder OK. I tried opening Word and using the Open
File dialog there, and the folder wasn't visible.
If he clicks in the address bar, and adds the folder name to the path, it opens the folder, but shows it as empty. I actually has two subfolders. If he adds the name of a subfolder, then the Open File dialog shows the files in that folder.
I checked the permissions on the folder, and couldn't see anything odd. What I don't understand is how the folder can be visible in Windows Explorer, and not in the Open File dialog.
Anyone any ideas? Thanks

I can confirm - I'm having the exact same problem.
When I try to lookup or save a file from an IE file dialog some folders do not show up. I can type the folder name into the directory field and it then goes there, but this assumes you know the directory name and it's a PITB.
Firefox can browse to the directory directly.
It would be interesting if anyone else found a fix for this - I'll post here again if I find out more somewhere else, but there are not too many threads out there as far as I have found for now.
Found a solution over at answers at Microsoft dot com. (can post links here yet - will update once I can)
In short: There's a fast fix for this issue by resetting a hidden flag that IE sets for some folders. I believe this part of the "protected mode" feature, though I can't confirm and also have no idea how this would protect me from any intruders,
if only (unimportant) subfolders are protected ...
Anyway - if you know the name of the missing folder (e.g. from browsing the directories form windows explorer): in the parent directory that has the folder missing do a Search (in box at top right) for the missing
folder name. In my case the hidden folder shows up in the search - now right click -> Properties -> clear hidden flag. Note: this "hidden" flag is independent of the flags set in windows explorer - that's why you have trouble going there with IE and not
the file explorer from the desktop.

Open file dialog hangs

I have some raw video files dumped from a Sony HD camera. The files are in some MPEG format (VLC just reports mpegv, mpega), the resolution is 1440x1088, and they are about 10 GB for 1 hour of video. My Quicktime wont play the video, but VLC plays it fine.
When I try to "Import video from file..." in iMovie '08, and navigate to the folder where the files are, the open file dialog hangs and iMovie beachballs - so far I have only had patience for 30 min, then a Force Quit is the only option.
Edit: OK, so it took 45 min then I could interact. The .mpeg is greyed out and as soon as I touch anything, iMovie beachballs again.
Any idea of the reason for this and how to circumvent it? Is iMovie trying to extract info from the files beforehand? Is it due to the file size (10 GB)?
Presently, I am trying to transcode the files using VLC, but I am having some trouble finding the best settings so not to loose too much quality, get rid of the interlace, etc. Any pointers on how to optimize setting for processing afterwards in iMovie HD and/or '08 are appreciated.

I don't understand how iMovie works with those thumbnails.
I imported some DV footage from an old iMovie HD, 2 clips. The files generated by iMovie'08 looks like this:
clip1.dv is 768x567 and is 118 MB on disk (although Quicktime reports 238 MB) and clip2.dv is 768x567 and 53 MB on disk. iMovie'08 creates a folder iMovie Cache with a file Cache.mov, 720x576, 12 kB on disk. In the folder iMovie Thumbnails is the file clip01.mov, 160x90, 10 MB on disk and clip02.mov, 160x90, 4.5 MB on disk. In the subfolder iMovie Cache is the file Cache.mov, 160x90, 16 kB.
Now, the HD footage I had to process differently. In order to get it into iMovie'08, I used VisualHub to convert the 1 hour video at 1440x1088, 10 GB on disk, file HD.mpeg to AppleTV format (720p) as HD.mp4, now 1280x720, 1.5 GB. I import this in iMovie, goes fine, takes a minute or so. Then iMovie starts creating its thumbnails. It took 4 hours 9 minutes!
The clip is in there as one 1 hour clip. The file structure is as follows: HD.mp4 is 1280x720, 1.5 GB on disk. In the folder iMovie Cache is cache.mov, 1280x720, 2.1 MB. In the folder iMovie Thumbnails is HD.mov, 160x90, 980 MB on disk - ie. two-thirds the size of the original file, in 1/64 the resolution! In the subfolder iMovie Cache is cache.mov, 160x90, 590 kB.
Skimming is hardly possible on the HD clip, especially moving the cursor backwards, and it is hard to trim selections. It plays fine, though. For the DV clips skimming it works fine.
Any ideas what is going on here, and how to work around? Is the inefficiency due to the very large clip? I tried to trim of a 2 min clip from the original file and put it through the same conversion, but the result was more or less the same, skimming-wise - very inefficient.

WebUtil within Oracle Forms (Find File - Open File Dialog Window)

I have successfully configured WebUtil and I can successfully execute the functions. I have been working with PKG_FIND_FILE.Selection function (which displays an Open File Dialog Window).
I cannot figure out why the following is occurring:
When I call the above function, the system typically displays an older dialog window (light blue / gray) window. For a brief time, we were able to bring up the "Windows looking" dialog window. I don't know what we changed in the configuration, but it is now back to the older looking light blue/gray dialog window.
Any ideas on where in the configuration, this would cause the dialog window to switch its "look and feel"
Thanks,
Mike

File dialog look has been changed because of the java version difference.
In Java 1.4 the look is different and 1.5 shows another way.
So check which java plugin and the version of the java
( go to control panel->settings -> click on java and check on version)

How do I get a more modern look and feel for a compiled help file

I gather from reading various posts that there is no easy way
to generate a .chm file with a more modern look and feel (am I
right about this?). Are there no plug-ins available from Adobe that
will enable us to generate a help file that looks more modern?
I hesitate to move to flash help or something like that
because, of course, then the developers would have to hookup the
hundreds of dialog boxes we have in our product to the new files. I
also think that having one file is way easier to manage in terms of
getting updated help to the customers. What are online Help
developers generally delivering for apps where users are not
connected to the Internet except perhaps periodically while using
the software? I'm a writer (not a developer) so need soemthing that
is easy to implement :-)
Thanks for your help. It is much appreciated.

To add to the advice already offered, you can apply a skin to
a CHM file which allows you to customise it. However as with most
things there are issues with this approach. You can read about this
by downloading Rick Stone's excellent
tips
'n tricks file. Just look in the index under "skins". Something
else you may want to look at is the beta of Adobe's
AIR.

I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1. An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6. If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates. If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.

Accessing File/Folder icons for current Look and Feel

Hi,
I'm looking to get the Icon for files and folders that the current UIManager uses for some work I'm doing. Please could you help.
I'm getting strange results from the method I'm using, which is to create a temporary file and do: Icon i = FileSystemView.getFileSystemView().getSystemIcon(tempFile);
I don't like the idea of having to create a temporary file to do this - isn't there another way to do it? - for instance asking "get default file icon"/"get default folder icon".
I could download a jpg image of the file/folder icons, but this is static - and I want my method to get the icons used for the current look and feel I'm using.
There must be a simple way to do this right? I mean, java uses a method to get the icons for the current look and feel.. Oh.. Please help!
- Edd.

Try these:
UIManager.getIcon("FileView.directoryIcon");
UIManager.getIcon("FileView.fileIcon");Leif Samuelsson

What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it

What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it?
I have a bug in my code (that I've posted about before, here) which I can't fix at the moment, but I do have a workaround.
Briefly, the bug:
I call a dll from a function node, to initialise and run a spectrometer. If I start up the PC, LabVIEW and run my vi the code runs without complaint, the first call to the dll to initialise the spectrometer doesn;t return an error but the spectrometer is not detected either.
I've tried various solutions, see the link above, and none work
The workaround:
If, at any time before running the code containing the function node I open an 'open file' dialog window, select the dll and click ok/hit enter then everything is fine. When I run the main code the spectrometer is detected.
I use an express vi to open the file dialog, I specify the start path and file name as constant inputs and just click ok/hit return when the dialog pops up. I don't do anything with the dialog outputs. In fact the vi that contains the open file dialog can be run before the project containing the bug is even open.
I have to do this everytime I turn the PC on.
So, either
1) Can somewone suggest a fix for the original bug?
2) What is the easiest way to simulate the enter keypress when the open file dialog pops up
or
3) Can someone tell me what the open file dialog does under the hood that somehow causes the dll to work and can it be simulated in straight LabVIEW
I suspect that the dll itself is dodgy ( I have in the past talked to the supplier but not got very far, and I will try again but I would like a quick, temporary solution too). I'm guessing that the file dialog is making some kind of check on the file, and possibly registering its presence with the OS (winXP). I tried using the file/folder exists vi to see if checking the file like that worked but no luck.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Dave

Hi David
I am very conscious about thread hijacking but this sounded like my issue so I hope you dont mind me asking about your issue. I am hoping that you have a spectrometer from the same vendor as me and its not just me seeing an Error 1097 issue. My spectrometer is from a company called Stellarnet.
So far I have unable to get it to work with other VIs. There is one condition where I can get it to work but its no good for me.
Case 1
I open the VI in a fresh labview environment with no other VIs in memory. The code runs with no issue.
Case 2
Labview is not opened. I double click the spectrometer VI in windows explorer. The VI opens but it fails to run resulting in Error 1097. Personally, I dont see the difference between this and Case 1 above and yet it fails.
Case 3
If I already have other VI's in memory and try to load the spectrometer VI and run it fails with Error 1097. This case is the one that most important to me. I have a test executive that will load test VIs dynamically and I can't get this to work. Same problem Error 1097.
I wanted to share what I have seen with you and to let you know that maybe somebody else has the same issue. I am convinced its the DLL but the vendor dis-agreed saying it was LabVIEW. I couldn't convince him otherwise.
Thanks in advance
David

What are the functions of look and feel files?

Hi,
If some one can explain me what are individual role in look and feel of the ISA B2C application.
mainFS.jsp
main_inner.jsp
catalogFS.jsp
accountFS.jsp
refresherB2C.jsp
I want to know function of each files. If I change any file then where exactly I can see changes which I made.
Any help from any one highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Ashish

Hi,
If you get hold of the ISA Development and Extension guide there is a section highlighting which frames go where in the main application.
You can also see which .jsp pages are displayed where by adding the following parameter to the root URL of the application when you logon.
http://<host>:<port>/b2c/b2c/init.do?showmodulename=true
This will display the name of each jsp page in the frames on screen.
Also, surely you must have been asked to change certain aspects of the application - not specific files? You shouldn't just change the files and then "see what happens"...
Hope this helps,
Gareth.

RW2 preview in finder and "Open file" dialog

Hello,
I run into a curiosity with RW2 file format (from LX3 and FZ38). In Finder, RW2 preview is not displayed and only default icon (black icon with text exec in corner). The same RW2 files does have correct preview, when I browse them in "Open file" dialog window (for example Safari > File > Open File...).
How it is possible the Finder and Open dialog do have different settings? Is it possible to copy these settings?
Thank You

see thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3805971&#3805971

Open File dialog user can delete and rename files.

Does any one know if there is a way to prevent a user from deleting and renaming files by right clicking on them in an Open File dialog box?

Well, the problem is that this isn't a LV dialog box. It's the standard Windows file dialog box and this is the way they work in Windows.

WEBUTIL_FILE.FILE_OPEN_DIALOG look and feel

Hello all,
We just implemented webutil on our 10g environment to facilitate with the upload + download of files via our forms.
To my horror, users are complaining about the look and feel of the file manipulation dialogs. I fully recognise that this is a java based screen, but was wondering is it possible to configure the look and feel to a more Microsoft way! (euch!)
Many Thanks,
John Lynagh

Hello,
You are right to say that the LAF directly depends on the underlying Java runtime. JIintiator is JRE 1.3 based, so you have the look that comes with.
Two possible solutions would be:
1- replace the JInitiator by the Sun Java plug-in
2- write a nice Javabean to replace the file selection dialog.

Problems installing the new 'Look And Feel' done by Francios Degrelle

I have download the new verison of the new 'Look And Feel' from
http://sheikyerbouti.developpez.com/forms-pjc-bean/LAF/sources/v133/LAF_133.zip
1- I defined a new section in formsweb.cfg named summit in the middle tier (AS 10g Rel2):
[Summit]
baseHTML=base.htm
baseHTMLjinitiator=basejpi.htm
baseHTMLjpi=basejpi.htm
baseHTMLie=baseie.htm
HTMLdelimiter=%
workingDirectory=e:\app\summit
envFile=default.env
IE=JInitiator
escapeparams=true
form=customers_laf
debug=no
otherparams=buffer_records=%buffer% debug_messages=%debug_messages% array=%array% obr=%obr% query_only=%query_only% quiet=%quiet% render=%render% record=%record% tracegroup=%tracegroup% log=%log% term=%term% useSDI=yes
buffer=no
debug_messages=no
array=no
obr=no
query_only=no
quiet=yes
render=no
pageTitle=Summit
serverURL=/forms/lservlet
codebase=/forms/java
imageBase=DocumentBase
width=100%
height=100%
separateFrame=false
splashScreen=no
lookAndFeel=oracle
colorScheme=blue
logo=no
restrictedURLparams=HTMLbodyAttrs,HTMLbeforeForm,pageTitle,HTMLafterForm,log,allow_debug,allowNewConnections

jpi_codebase=http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/autodl/jinstall-1_4-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,4,0,0
2- then I put a copy of the file 'forms.css' in the middle tier in the folder :
apache\apache\htdocs
so as to be on the path and then modified PM$CSS_FILENAME in all forms to be 'forms.css' instead of 'c:\forms.css' and recompiled.
3-I put a copy of the file 'laf.jar' in the folder : 'd\Ora_AS\forms\java' in the middle tier and added this path to the classpath environment variable.
4- I restarted the middle tier and wrote this URL:
http://test/forms/frmservlet/config=summit
the customers form opened but with no background images,I added the following to the URL '&form=test_laf_color_scheme.fmx',the form opened with the default color scheme to 'purple',I changed it from a drop down list to orange and all buttons background color degraded to orange.
My questions:
1-where are the background images ?
2- I cannot compile the 'laf.pll' file to 'laf.plx',when I compile I get this error:
FRm-91507 -internal error
P.S. I read this thread :
FRM-91507 when compiling a library with Forms 6i
and I didn't understand it,where do I change the Forms_Path? in the forms Home release 1 or Forms home release 2?!!!
3-Is the 'forms.css' file properly located? if not? where do I put it?
Sorry for the long scenario but I'm really confused?
Thanks
Mohammad

Hello,
I'm curently out of everything so I cannot answer this one. All I can tell is that images are read from the client machine or jar file. If you want read images from the application server, you need the http:// syntax.

Open File Dialog - JSP pages

If I create a jsp page with an open file dialog will it work no matter what OS people are running? What I want to do is attach a file. It would be preferrable if I could set a "working" directory and when I open up the dialog it starts in that directory. It has to work with Windows, Macs, and Linux . If there is no way to set the "working" directory, can a cookie be created that remembers the last directory accessed from the page so that when they open up the dialog it opens up under the last directory accessed?

there is a html input type that sparks up the OS native filechooser. Thus, it should be platform independent. You should look into Apache Commons FileUpload, as it makes the process of uploading/sending files ridiculously easy.
