Calling functions from the palette of the user interface

Hello

As I understand it, you can not call complex functions in a scripted UI palette, only from windows 'dialogue' (which are usless in my case) because I need the persistence of a palette.

I have a set of scripts in use, now that is accessed from the usual "file-scripts folder" within Illustrator itself (about 27 of them).  I want a range of script window so that users can access without the usual mouse clicks on the menu system.

I am able to call a single function of type "Hello World" using the method "onClick()' by a button of a window of the actions palette, but I can't use my scripts to regular work inside a function that is called by the button.  In X-Code, I could write my scripts individually, then simply add to a floating window via a separate function when they have been completed.  But, I find a little more complicated Javascript.

If I copy my other script code in the script palette window function, it works, but it runs before I click the button! -After in series, then the palette window is displayed (?).  If I try to use with 'onClick' execute() method, the script simply opens in the SDK, it will not be and runs in Illustrator.

I take these two as clear indications that I have no idea what I'm doing (or I'm trying to do the impossible).

I found someone with a similar problem, but they were After Effects script and offered this solution:

system.callSystem ("afterfx - r" / C/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe After Effects CS3/Support Files/Scripts/GlobalVars.jsx ' ");

Is this all I can in Illustrator that allows me to call (or run) my other scripts/functions and make them run in Illustrator?

Thanks for any help!

Well, here it is!

I found this link:

http://www.davidebarranca.com/2012/11/ScriptUI-BridgeTalk-persistent-window-examples/

(If stumble you upon this, thank you davide barranca!)

Now, I can make changes for scripts in one place and everyone will get updates once they restart their window.

Works like a charm and is just what I needed!  Thank you again for your help!

  • Flatten to a string to send arbitrary objects by messages from the user interface?

    Hi people,

    I am trying to send arbitrary data by messages from the user interface defined by the user to my labview interface. Something funny happens then: if I send the data through the message of ui, it seems I have something strange. There is only one character or nothing in the message of the user interface that reached my reminder.

    It seems that flatten channel also creates control characters that are interpreted by NI TestStand and Labview not as members of the chain, and for this reason I only get incomplete data. within the action of testand, which creates the flattened data, I put a dialog box to display the string data, and it seems that at least up to 255 (ascii) characters are used.

    Is there something like uuencode/uudecode to avoid this problem?

    Thanks in advance

    Okidoki, found.

    His «binary"produced by «Flatten the string» string Apparently I thought, the LabVIEW data type is incompatible with the API of TestStand from LabVIEW. In conclusion I would classify this as a bug (sorry people, at least there should be documentation) API for LabVIEW TestStand 2014.

    As a solution, I use flatten it in XML, which is a printable and human readable 'normal' string.

    It was trial and error, and I'm not enjoying this.

  • WIN8 registers touch but no reaction from the user interface?

    Anyone having problems with Win8 button when your fingers are clearly registered (Windows gives this feedback from the spherical ripple effect) but the user interface under your finger does nothing? No not the button and so on.

    I live it with some Chrome for example, with the small button tab when it is near the top edge of the screen.

    If I drag the window to the center of the screen, I have no problem with getting keys recorded. Hit the button new little tab gives no trouble.

    When user interface elements are close to the edge, no reaction, even if the wave indicator appears.

    Cannot know if it is a driver or a HW problem. I use X220T.

    Example screenshot

    May be a problem with Chrome, in fact. Tried with Firefox and the new tab button is a lot easier to hit. ---> will give Chrome devs a hint

    EDIT: what you know! The new beta version has already dealt with this issue:

  • Slow response from the user interface with acquisition of data of type long time

    Hi all

    I have a question to ask more out of curiosity than necessity right now. I've built a program that acquires data from the accelerometer and the Treaty in a number of ways: filtering, FFT, FRFS, things like that, but the answer of the UI is still slow, because I need a resolution of frequency of 0.2 Hz for my data domain, which means that the sample acquisition time is 5s and all this awaits before execution.

    My question is this: is there a way to completely isolate the user interface of data acquisition so that it responds immediately?

    I tried a design model of producer consumer with queues, but found everything to be always waiting for samples to be taken. Maybe it was exactly as I did.

    Thank you

    Phil

    If you need to sample for 5 seconds in order to have enough data to analyze, so unless you can "predict the future" and "knowing" the five seconds of data, simply wait for the data that arrives.  Using parallel loops of producer-consumer will allow data acquisition to proceed (for the next 5 seconds of data) while you do the analysis, but you still have to wait for the data to be analyzed.

    Note that the previous paragraph assumes you are collecting data in 5 seconds 'chunks' and analyze each "chunk" (independent) on arrival.  You could also do something like having a "second 5 sliding window" which moves, say, a second at a time, giving your FFT a finer resolution of 'time' (at the expense of their independence).  This would be a (slight) change in your loop of producer (you want to taste in 1 second pieces, accumulate 5 these pieces) and the consumption loop (start analyzing, spewing a FFT every second, while replacing the older "chunk" with the most recent - a queue with loss can do for you).

  • Feedback from the user interface

    In the Simulator (090), when the user selects the gear (top right) to display a list of parameters to select, the bar of the background and button scrolls down.  However, it is not intuitive how to return to the "main" screen  Still, the down arrow in the main screen button bar pointing downwards and is grayed out.  There seems to be a second "up" button placed in the Center, but it is masked by the "Media" button  Suggest that it is more obvious to select and restore.  Suggest you hide the button bar, make the less gray background and make the arrow more obvious upward so that the user knows that they can select the area to restore.

    Don't forget, this is still in phase beta/Simulator, I am sure that the final design of the user interface will be better/more intuitive.

  • Scripts from the user interface.

    I am trying to create a script that generates a window and fills with icons pre-made depending on how

    documents are opened in Photoshop. then, depending on which icon is clicked, it stacks the files in a certain way.

    My question is, if I fill the window with the image buttons, which are placed there by a switch, should I put the onClick within the

    spend according to each case?  or do I have to put it out after the window shows?

    If you create image buttons, you must put the onClick where you create them--inside the switch, otherwise you will onClick functions that don't relate to anything and will throw an error - if I understand what you are doing.

  • Lost the user interface in Premiere Pro?

    A few weeks ago I signed up for creative cloud. I started using the first Pro CC. I knew that I couldn't take advantage of the Mercury engine because I have ATI Radeon HD 4870 512 MB. I was still able to edit and work. Today I went to send timeline to grade speed and it took forever to export, finally to halfway to send it, I gave up and revived Premiere Pro. When the first opened my UI had disappeared. Drop-down menus have all their but disappeared from the user interface. If I went in create new title, I could see that window, but the chronology, garbage, source and windows Records were not visible. I know that the sequence is always there because if I hit the space bar the sequence plays through my Kona card. I closed the first and I got a pop up menu Nvidia Cuda ask my update of drivers. It's strange because I have a card ATI not a Nvidia card. If I open all the other apps After Effects or Photoshop, all of the user interface is here. What gives?

    Ann Merci for the info, Ann. However I realized that it was just that the interface was dragged all the way upward under the white bar that says first projects.

    When I saw the arrow pointing down I realized that I had to just drag the interface down. Simple mistake. Thanks again.

  • To access the check boxes in the user interface programmatically

    Hi all
    I have the following usecase.
    1. I have a table that has 3 columns, first two columns are read only output of the label component and the third column is a checkbox.
    2. I have three lines in the table.

    Now:
    1. when a user selects the check box and click on a "submit" button I want to check that it should have selected at least one checkbox.
    2. for which I tried to access the table from the user interface programmatically, but it does not work.
    Is there a way I can access the values?

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello

    The box must be bound to an attribute line in the table is related to data collection. If yes then simply loop through the lines and check if the attribute has been set. For example, if each line has a "checked" property, so you can ensure at least a line "checked = true' in your action. To access the collection, you can use something like:

    Object initialRowKey = table.getRowKey();
    try
    {
        int count = table.getRowCount();
        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
        {
            table.setRowIndex(i);
            MyObject row = (MyObject)table.getRowData();
            if (row.isChecked())
            {
                // do something, set a flag to true, etc.
            }
        }
    }
    finally
    {
        table.setRowKey(initialRowKey);
    }
    

    The code above assume that you linked the table to your managed bean using the "required" attribute in the table.

    Kind regards

  • a reminder of the user interface will have a function with arguments?

    some ScriptUI quirks... I have a function (cut in this example) that I can call very well by itself of the extendScript window or if I set directly to the onClick callback, but when I try and call the function from a reminder and analyze arguments, the onClick is not working and the service runs once when the script runs first? what I am doing wrong?

    It works using the extend script window

    Nudge (23,77)


    function nudge (offset, distance) {}

    var L = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers [0];

    L.startTime = (shift * distance);

    Alert ("Done")

    }

    This works when the button is clicked in the user interface


    myButton.onClick = function() {

    var L = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers [0];

    L.startTime = (23 * 77);

    alert("done")

    }

    This also works when the button is clicked in the user interface


    myButton.onClick = boost


    function nudge() {

    var L = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers [0];

    L.startTime = (23 * 77);

    alert("done")

    }

    but when I try and pass arguments (kind of functions) that does not


    myButton.onClick = nudge (23,77)


    function nudge (offset, distance) {}

    var L = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers [0];

    L.startTime = (shift * distance);

    Alert ("Done")

    }

    OK, in the case where someone is interested... the solution with the permission of Mr. Lloyd Alvarez is to nest the function in another function call, why, I have no idea, but it works a treat...

    myButton.onClick = function() {nudge (23,77)}

    function nudge (offset, distance) {}

    var L = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers [0];

    L.startTime = (shift * distance);

  • How to upgrade to the user interface of a screen that is extracted from the stack?

    Hello

    I am currently having a problem in the UI update.

    I have two screens called 'OverviewScreen' & 'DetailScreen' and in the upper part of the two screens, I have three buttons

    (i) back

    (II) next

    (III) charging

    In the entry of the app normally I posted the 'OverviewScreen' and in this screen, back, next buttons are inactive positions (just to have two sets of images, one active and one for idle) and if the user clicks on an item that is displayed in the cell, then I'll navigate the user to the "DetailScreen".

    Now the stack should have two screens,

    at the bottom - "OverviewScreen".

    at the top - "DetailScreen".

    and in the "DetailScreen" - I showed the image is active for the "back" button (because the screen is lower in the stack) and for the next inactive button image.

    Now if the user clicks the back button I navigates to the "OverviewScreen" which is called the UiApplication.getUiApplication (.getActiveScreen) (m:System.NET.Sockets.Socket.close ()); in the case of touch

    Now the "OverviewScreen" located in the bottom of the stack to the front UI (basically when I built it for the first time, it contains inactive images next and back) - what I want here is I need to show the following active image therefore needs to update the user interface of the screen that displays battery

    Because,

    OverviewScreen (back, next inactive images)--> DetailScreen (back - active, next - inactive)--> new OverviewScreen (should show the back - off, next - active)

    For this, I tried with what follows, but none works,

    If (event.getEvent () == TouchEvent.CLICK) {}
    UiApplication.getUiApplication () .getActiveScreen () .getScreenBelow () .updateDisplay ();
    UiApplication.getUiApplication () .getActiveScreen () m:System.NET.Sockets.Socket.close ();
    Returns true;
    }

    I even tried with invalidate() and dopaint() but none works

    However, I realized the functionality if I press the off button in the "OverviewScreen" he navigated me to the "DetailScreen", juice wants to show the icon active next button?

    What should I do to repaint or update the user interface of the screen here?

    Thanks in advance,

    Kitty.

    Found a solution

    Override the method which is found in the net.rim.device.api.ui.container.MainScreen and in this method, I have changed the image for the button and this method is called in the current active screen using getActiveScreen () .getScreenBelow)

  • How to open the window pop-up that requires no response from the user

    Hi - in javascript, I want to open a message window small, very similar to what you get w / an alert or confirm, but who do not require (or allow) a response from the user.

    It displays a message "wait...". "while a process finishes. So, I would like to raise
    the window/message box before the process starts, let the process work, then
    When it is finished, close the window by using the code - not because of user input.

    Is there an easier way to do this than w / window.open? I'm really not together
