Without dialog window?

I have an AppleScript that sends a message from one computer to another via Bonjour. I don't want dialog window to pop up. Is it possible? There is property "fisible" for vindows, but I am not sure how to impement it. Or may be there is the way to close window after message is sent. I think, it should be easy, but I am new in AppleScript, so any help will be appreciated.
I posted this question in iChat forum too, but think here it's more appropriate.
Thank you in advance
Vera

I send message by iChat, computers connected via Bonjour. Very simple script:
tell application "Finder"
set the_message to "....."
set the_account to "Bonjour:...account id....."
tell application "iChat"
send the_message to first account whose id is the_account
end tell
end tell
I don't want the window to pop up on the machine which sends the message. I know in InDesign there is an option "without showing window", but here it does not work.
Best regards
Vera

File without opening the dialog window

How do I open a file on Mac without dialog window using a pre-defined path network?
example: myfile / mytest / mytestfile.ai
Thanks

Hi Ferrarezzi
Just a tip
If you look at your computer..in the same folder where Extended Script Toolkit application is installed, there´s a PDF called JavaScript Tools Guide.
This guide has a chapter that covers all the File and Folder methods and properties. Read it. This would give you a great overview of what you can do with Files and Folders

Duplex printing. No dialog window on the HP LaserJet 1020

I'm running WinXP Pro, but I think it doesn't matter so much, because I've used duplex printing on it for a year without any problems. But now the dialog window, which must appear while using duplex printing is gone
When the Print on both sides instruction dialog window appears on the PC's monitor, follow the instructions, says the Duplexing Manual.
How to solve it, please help

Victory at last. OK, in case there is anyone out there who still has this (and start up no start) problems.
1. Delete the HP 1020 printer software via the Printers box from Control Panel (Visa 32 bit OS).
To do this, right click on the HP 1020 printer image, open the box, click on delete to remove the old driver & printer.
2. Go to HP 1020 site and find software downloads (words to that effect).
3. Download most recent driver (it is a plug and play driver -- currently [2-2011] there are 3 choices, this one is on top)
4. Install this driver. It will take a few minutes to complete
5. Plug in the printer and power up.
6 Once the dialogue box on the task bar says the printer is installed it's time to restart (if you look in the Printers Menu you probably won't find the printer. Don't panic yet)
7. Restart
8. Now look in the Printer Menu again. You 1020 should be there.
9. Test and good luck.
If this isn't the exact sequence for your computer, try a variation. The plug and play doesn't work on top of old software. Clear that old dog out and install the latest [Nov 2010 date] driver first, then plug in, then restart your computer.
Too Bad HP didn't publish this "fix" or even explain it on its woebegotten website. You can't drag this stuff up with a search engine. Next time you shop printers, tell the salesperson you deserve a big price break for putting up with all of this nonsense from HP.

Open file/browse-file dialog window size too small

It seems like the size of the "Open file" and "Browse file"-dialog windows have become too small to use efficiently.
I'm not sure if this is related to the latest updates from testing, but it wasn't like this before. I have to resize the dialog window every time in order to be able to select files and folders.
The changes are not saved across the same session of a program, but it does result in unpredictable behavior in gedit.
If I resize the open file dialog, then close the dialog, then open it again, the changes are sometimes preserved, but not always. Sometimes it's small and sometimes it's resized, and there's no way of telling.
I'm running compiz-fusion and emerald, but the bug is not related to window manager, as it's the same with metacity and openbox. So it's for all GTK programs.
When I try to run gnome-appearance-properties, I get:
"Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'.
Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take effect. This could indicate a problem with Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings manager."
and the problem remains no mather what GTK theme I choose.
Is gnome-settings-daemon responsible for this kind of behavior?

The issue was resolved by updating all to gnome-desktop 2.24 from testing..

My save as pdf dialog window has mysteriously disappeared. How do I get it back?

I'm using Illustrator CS5 on a Mac running Mavericks. I have made a bunch of images using a template and now I am wanting to make pdf of my images. I go "File" > "Save as" and then select "Adobe pdf" and click save. This used to bring up a separate dialog window that asked me things about how to save the pdf, but that has disappeared. I'm also using an external monitor on my MacBook Pro and I feel that this is the culprit. I'm trying to save my individual layers so that I can turn them on/off in Adobe Reader, but that function isn't available without the dialog box. Any suggestions on how to get it back? Also, without the dialog Illustrator beeps at me if I try to use it. I have to hit enter on the keyboard to save the pdf with the default parameters.
Thanks in advance,
Ben

Sounds like the dialog is off screen. You can try to reset the Preferences by using Cmd-Opt-Shift on restarting AI. That might bring it back to the current screen.

Image preview in Open dialog window (Photoshop CS6)

Hi
We had a possibility to see images preview in Open File dialog window of Photoshop CS5 but in new CS6 version there is not such possibility. Should I forget about that nice option and use Mini Bridge?

I'm not so sure it was on purpose or not Noel. Especially since it's still there in Illustrator and Indesign. If it weren't for it being in those, I might think it was intentional. Then again, it could very well be Adobe trying really hard to push MiniBridge, which is almost utterly useless. I think they actually made the minibridge WORSE as well. The sizing issues of the thumbnails on that are a pain and minibridge is just plain cumbersome to run. Anyways, besides my many qualms with minibridge itself, and back on the open dialog box thing...I actually watched a youtube video pointing out the same codecs you're talking about and without the PSD functionality, it's pretty useless. I'm a graphic designer, so I don't really use PS for camera image editing and don't mess with those files that the codec helps with. Even if it did, that still isn't very helpful to me. Because at that point, you're pretty much just doing what Bridge/MIniBridge does. However, consider how I, and many other designers in the print field work: At any given point we might have something like 3 different versions of a file; a PSD (with layers to edit), a JPEG (to send to the customer for proofing), and a PDF (for printing). Now, within that customer folder I might have 50+ files of different jobs. Imagine trying to sift through all those thumbnails, scrolling across window upon window, and when you get to the file you're finally looking for, you click it open to just to see that you opened the jpeg instead of the PSD. Now, in LIST view, I can see many more files on one screen and each file type is represented by an icon. So I know the blue icons are Photoshop icons and it's very easy to skim through there and know exactly which file type I'm looking for without peering at extensions. Get what I'm saying? Not that I don't appreciate you trying to help. Just saying, unless any codec can bring back the preview screen....than I don't see a workaround until Adobe flat out FIXES IT. I'm one of those guys that loves to get the newest thing and give it time to work, but if they don't fix it, I might have to call up Adobe and demand a downgrade on my Photoshop to 5.5, cause it really slows my workflow when I have hundreds of files to keep up with, and any new feature in PS CS6 that might have sped up my work is offset by not being able to do such a remedial task as preview my files before opening them.

Passing values to a modal dialog window...

Hi All,
Is there a way to pass massive amount of data into a pop-up
modal dialog window? I have this following code that keeps giving
me a JavaScript error whenever I have like 2000 characters in the
documen.myForm.Product_Details textarea field. Any suggestions or
advice is greatly appreciated, and thank you very much in advance!
function Modal_NewWin() {
var width = 750;
var depth = 200;
var productDetails = document.myForm.Product_Details.value;
var url =
"PreviewProducts.cfm?ProductID=#GetProductInfo.ProductID#&ProductDetails="
+ productDetails;
var sfeatures = "dialogHeight: " + depth + "px; dialogWidth:
" + width + "px; dialogTop: px; dialogLeft: px; center: Yes; help:
No; resizable: No; status: No;";
return window.showModalDialog(url,'',sfeatures);

can you use JSStringFormat() without first submitting the
form??? (so CF can see the value in the form field jsstringformat
is applied to..)
submitting a form to the preview page will solve the problem
for sure, but then you will somehow have to have 2 different action
target for the form, so that clicking 'preview' button submits the
form to the modal window, and clicking a 'save' button will submit
the form to another action page that inserts values into a db...
you can do that, again with some more javascript...
as html-escaping javascripts are readily available on various
script sites, i think it will be easier to employ one of them...
(please note that i am assuming quiet a lot about how the
AppDeveloper's form works and what it does, since he never
explained it himself...)

Switching into a dialog window's buttons (ok/cancel) w/ a keybord shortcut

how can i do this?
on pc i'm used to press "tab" button to switch from the default option to the other.
for example when selecting "shut down the computer" in the apple menu, it appears a dialog window saying "the computer will shut down in 1 m and ..." selected default button (blue) is CONTINUE, how do I switch to CANCEL button without using the mouse?
Thank you

Normally you use "tab" to move around within a dialog box on a Mac too, spiderresistance.
To automatically hit the "cancel" button, though, use "esc"
You can find very extensive lists of Mac keyboard shortcuts by going to the "Help" menu when in the Finder , choosing "Mac Help" and then typing "keyboard shortcuts" in the search box.

People Recognition: Empty dialog window.

Hi,
I'm experiencing some problems when using the People Recognition function. I’m in the organizer and showing all media and clicking the “Add people” button. The organizer starts preparing the files, but ends up with an empty dialog window as shown below. It doesn’t seem to matter how many or few photos I select, when activating this function.
I’ve used this function several times before (inside the actual catalog) without any problems. There are still a lot of unrecognized people inside the catalog, so this shouldn’t be the reason for this odd behavior.
Any help is greatly appreciated
I've already tried the following:
- Repairing the catalog
- Optimizing the catalog
- Restoring the preferences to default settings
- Renaming the "status.dat" and "psa.prf" files
My specifications:
- Installed Adobe software - Photoshop Elements 12 + Premiere Elements 12
- Catalog containing approx. 17.000 photos and 400 video clips
- Windows 7 64 bit
- Quick Time Player version 7.7.4
Thanks in advance.

You may need to contact Adobe directly for issues with new installations. It is usually possible to get it fixed right away by starting an on-line chat whenever an agent is free.

Wizard in a dialog window does not show errormessages from the database

I have a main window and some wizards defined with JHeadstart. The wizards are started as dialogs to get them in a separate windows from the main window. This gives me a cancel and a save button for the dialog in addition to the ones for the wizard.
I have managed to take away the cancel and save button from the dialog using custom .vm files. The problem is that then pressing the FINISH button for the wizard it closes the dialog window without showing errormessages from the database (ie constraint messages) and these only appear in the log. If I use the save button from the dialog it gives the errormessages, but does not exit the dialog even if there are no errormessages.
Is this a bug or is there another way I should have done this ?
The code for starting the wizard.
<af:commandLink id="StartVeiRegMerknad"
text="#{nls['TABLE_TITLE_VEIREGMERKNAD']}"
action="dialog:StartVeiRegMerknad"
useWindow="true" partialSubmit="true"
launchListener="#{DialogLaunchHandler.handleDialogLaunch}"
windowWidth="600" windowHeight="600"
returnListener="#{backing_show.backFromPopup}"
immediate="true">
<f:actionListener type="oracle.jheadstart.controller.jsf.listener.DoRollbackActionListener"/>
<f:actionListener type="oracle.jheadstart.controller.jsf.listener.ResetBreadcrumbStackActionListener"/>
<af:resetActionListener/>
</af:commandLink>

Your finish button should call a custom managed bean method that executes the commit, checks whether there are errors, and only close the dialog of there are no errors.
To close the dialog in code, you can use this:
AdfFacesContext adf = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
adf.returnFromDialog(null, null);
which is similar to using the <af:returnActionListener/> that you probably now used but should be removed from your finish button.

JList Dialog Window

I would like to make a dialog with just the contents of a JList in it.
I do not want to extend JDialog with a new class.
I can add the JList to a JOptionPane, and create a JDialog from that, but it looks horrible with spaces on either side of the list.
Is there an easier way to draw a JList by itself inside a JDialog without the unwanted JDialog padding, or should I expect to just code another Dialog window from scratch?
-FBL
        JOptionPane userPane = new JOptionPane();
     DefaultListModel userListModel = new DefaultListModel();
     JList userList = new JList(userListModel);
     for (User u : Database.getAllUsers())
          userListModel.addElement(u);
     userPane.setOptions(new Object[]{userList});
     JDialog userDialog = userPane.createDialog(this, "Users");
     userDialog.show();

Don't understand the question. All you do is:
JDialog dialog = new JDialog()
dialog.getContentPane().add( yourJList );How do you expect it to be any easier than that?
If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE) that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
Don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags so the posted code retains its original formatting.

Global msgs in a ADF Dialog window

Hi,
I have a launched a dialog manually, in the Backing Bean of the Dialog i have done some validations, but on getting an error the return listener is fired and the dialog closes without showing the error msg in the dialog itself.
Is it possible to show global msgs in a Dialog? If yes, how can i display global error msgs in a dialog window?
Code in the backing bean:
JSFUtils.constructMsg("search.noselection.error",FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO);
return null;
Code in JSPX:
<af:messages globalOnly="true" />
Thanks

Hi , Frank,
The solution to this question(menu items being defaulted in the template --- answer : bind variables) was suggested by Mr.Shay in the following thread:
Default content in Template Facets
But , what if the dynamic content to be defaulted in the template is : an Image, or a Flash file ? or some thing like that?
Can we use ADF Binding parameters to these objects in the template?
If it is possible , can you please give an example?
Thanking you,
Anil.
