Contents of the group with its container

Hello

The final goal is to change the transparency of an object and its container, but I first need things of group for the object and container can change. At least I think. Is there a way to consolidate a container and its contents? Nothing seems to be anchored, but I can only select the object or container, not both-if only I can change the transparency of one or the other.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Bruno

I think there is a misunderstanding of basic objects, containers and content and how to use the selection tools, here.

An object would be the container (frame) and its contents, if any, together. They are chosen together with the selection tool (black arrow). You can select either frame (container), the content separately using the direct Selection (white arrow) tool. A group is a collection of objects that are supposed to behave as a single object.

If you want transparency affect as well the box and its content, use the selection tool to select the object, and then choose the command object in the menu drop-down of the effect controls panel, as shown in the screenshot of premio oscar above.

  • Scrolling group problem: not all the group with scrolling content?

    Helloooow peoplez script wise.

    I was biting my nails on this problem, the last two days and still have not found a solution. Go here:

    I tried to make a window (or Panel actually, because ultimately it must be run from the EI > window > scriptname.jsx), with a scroll bar, which can scroll content in a group beside him. I can get the scroll and all group, but is the problem, just now, that the elements of x in the group, the last get cut. Like this (it is supposed to be 500 buttons):

    Screen Shot 2015-10-13 at 21.40.05.png

    The only way that I was able to get the 'internal' group grow is by not using do not align properties and manually set the .size. I know that the content is here because the last element arises, when I move the last location of points [1] upwards until he reached the top of the group. I tried to refresh the page layout (layout.layout (true); layout.resize (()) to each call of the function onChanging() of the cursor, but without success. Read a lot of forum posts beautiful and discussion by @Marc Autret and other users of scriptUI/extendscript long has this far been without success.

    TL; DR: I'm doing a group with a lot of content that I can scroll with a scroll bar.

    Aaalrighty, guys. It seems to me have cracked... Sort of...

    David, your version worked quite well, I just modified a bit to get the right calculation.

    The wheel now works as expected and the scroller.maxvalue is calculated as ((number of items) * height of the first item).

    Everything works fine until I have started using the automatic layout manager. The option 'fill' at least makes it really hard to understand the final height of the internal objects. So they must be defined accordingly.

    Indeed, here is my modified code (sorry, @David for resources according to the version string, you may simply copy the scroller.onChanging () and populateGrid() x parts))

    {
    //scroller test

  • Get members of the group with the Java API in LiveCycle

    I work with the Java API in LiveCycle (LiveCycle 8.2) and I am looking


    an example of how read the members of a group.

    I am able to get a group (Type GroupImpl) using the PrincipalSearchFilter.


    But how do I get the members of this group. I checked the
    DirectoryManagerServiceClient and classes of different search filters
    without success?

    As a solution, I can retrieve all users of my application area and
    check their membership to see if they are in the group concerned. But this
    is a dirty hack, I really don't want to use.

    Any ideas?

    Hello!

    I know you mentioned that you were watching in this without success, but it should work really.

    First make a GroupMemebershipSearchFilter, defining the groupoid be the ID of the group itself.  Using the DirectoryManagerServiceClient you can then call findGroupMembers using the searchFilter that will return a list of, as follows:

    DirectoryManager DirectoryManagerServiceClient = new DirectoryManagerServiceClient (serviceConnection.getFactory ());

    List userList = new ArrayList ();

    Try
    {
    userList = directoryManager.findGroupMembers (searchFilter);
    }
    catch (System.Exception e)
    {

    Animals mistake
    }

    return userList;

  • Add the group with the ES2 Java API

    Hi all

    There is an example that shows how to create a new group using the ES2 API here:

    http://help.Adobe.com/en_US/LiveCycle/9.0/programLC/help/index.htm

    However, if you run the code to create a group, the code works fine and a new OID is returned. But if you go in the /AdminUI ES2 and the list of all groups, you don't see the 'AdobeGroup' group here! Also if you are looking to the /AdminUI for the group 'AdobeGroup' it is not found.

    If the code does not work or the Admin UI does not show the newly created group.

    How to share the context of the ADF with web service for access to the ADF model.

    Kind regards.

    Something in your architecture is not supposed.

    Usually, Web Services are part of your model layer - and if they want to access a Module of application they need not go through the viewController layer.

    If you want to transfer data to your Web Service - pass it as parameters to the function - in this way your service is not dependent on a user interface layer.

  • How to import the excel with its property sheet

    HII

    My task is to import my excel sheet in the control of my frontpanal... but on the excel sheet to open I want to update my forehead pave...

    Essential is my excel worksheet contains cells with different colors in each cell... my task is to import this file because it is in my spreadsheet to my Panel object before labview excel...

    can any 1 suggest me an idea how to implement this task...

    The Microsoft Office Spreadsheet ActiveX control will not import an Excel workbook. If you choose to use a table of LabVIEW control or ActiveX control, you can manually read the data in your Excel workbook using ActiveX (for Excel 2003 and earlier versions), and then fill the control (whether it is a table of LabVIEW or spreadsheet ActiveX control). Then, still using ActiveX calls once you must browse your Excel spreadsheet and read cell background colors, and then define the cells of the table LabVIEW control or control ActiveX to be the same. This is done by using the properties of the controls.

    Bottom line: this is a very manual process. For example, the attached VI is one that I post quite often. It will read the data from an Excel worksheet, and place it in a table of LabVIEW Control.

    Another option is to simply use a web browser control and display the worksheet by using the Excel plugin browser, as this is explained in this article: using the browser control Microsoft Web to incorporate a spreadsheet Excel in LabVIEW.

    Question: Why do you need to do this? What you are trying to accomplish in the long term? Perhaps there is a better way to do it.

    Text items cannot be centered vertically as they are not containers. However, you can fake that a very big little thanks to the row height. But this means that if you have a text that spans two lines it would be very remote however
