(CS3; JavaScript) how effectively "select all" / performing an action
Hi all
while I found little code to run applescript action I need to be able to do from JavaScript. The documentation does not mention at all of the shares.
It would save me a lot of work if I could just perform an action that changes the color of the document to CMYK instead of having to duplicate all objects in a new document (I have already created the action and it works)
This brings me to my other question: are there really no "select all"? It takes almost 2 seconds (at least if the Profiler is right) just to select a simple 300 objects in my test file. I need to batch process something like 30 records that could prove more complex and I don't like the idea to say to my colleagues that they should wait for so long...
Is there a better way that a loop through pageItems and setting .selected = true?
I could imagine performs an action that selects all objects (how to copy actions to others machines. btw?) or to run the shortcut (Ctrl + a).
Thank you very much
Mike
Good evening
Void test_ai()
Set myAi = CreateObject ("illustrator.application.CS4")
Set myDocAi = myAi.ActiveDocument
' - An idea is to show, as a first step, the layers on which you want to select all objects.
myDocAi.Layers ("myLayerWithObjects"). Visible = True
myDocAi.ActiveLayer.Locked = False
myDocAi.Layers ("mySecondLayerWithObjects"). Visible = True
myDocAi.ActiveLayer.Locked = False
' - In a second step, you select all
For each myLayers in myDocAi.Layers
If myLayers.Visible = True Then myLayers.HasSelectedArtwork = True
Next
' - and finally, you define a variable with your selection
myselexion = myAi.Selection
End Sub
After that, you will probably identify each item of your choice.
Best regards
Patrice

How to select all of the people who are not in any team?
Hello
I have a nice SQL expression that gives me accordingly all the "AGENTS" (people) working in a TEAM (a team)
Select one. "" AGENT_ID. "
a."NAME" | ' ' || a.' first NAME' 'Name',
c.libelle 'team ', he said.
a."DATE_EMBAUCHE" "Hire Date"
a."DATE_DEBAUCHE" «Date debauchery. "
of the OBSERVATORY. "" AGENT. "
b Observatoire.equipe_agents,
c Observatoire.Equipe
where a.agent_id = b.agent_id
and b.equipe_id = c.equipe_id
order by name
Now, how to select all the agents who do NOT work in any 'TEAM' (team)?
I tried but could not succeed!
Thank you for your help.
ChristianDave solutions use an outer join ((+) in the joints), which should bring back all the records of the agent, even if they do not exist in the equipe_agents table.
Another approach would be to use a statement NOT EXISTS or NOT IN, for example
SELECT * FROM agents a WHERE NOT EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM equipe_agents ea WHERE ea.agent_id = a.agent_id )

How to select all objects in a document?
Newbie question WAS:
I have an active document with two linked files, I need to select both of them in a script and incorporate the two. Then I'll be in selecting these separate and perform various actions on each.
In JavaScript, once I have the document object how can I select these two files/items?
Thank you
Dave
This will select all the document and incorporate your files related to assets:
* a slight change *.
for (I = app.activeDocument.placedItems.length - 1; i > = 0; i--) {}
app.activeDocument.placedItems [i] .selected = true;
app.activeDocument.placedItems [i] .embed ();
}see you soon;

How COUNT (*) SELECT all first before returning SELECT *.
Our interface involves a grid filled by a SELECT query. The records are retrieved via a complex query with many tables involved and spent many filtering parameters. A simplified example:
SELECT col1, col2,... colx
OF tab1 tab2, tab 3 t3 t2, t1, etc.
WHERE
T1.Key1 = t2.key1
and t2.key2 = t3.key2,
and... etc.
and t1.coldate > p_FilterDateFrom
and t1.coldate < p_FilterDateTo
and t2.somefield = p_FilterSomeFilter
and t3.someotherfield = p_FilterSomeOtherField
and... etc.
Generally, the user enters parameters, so a small, manageable resultset is returned.
But sometimes the user will enter the parameters that returns thousands of lines. As a result, the frontend in IE makes a break from time to time say ' Stop running this script? A script on this page slows down your web browser to run slowly... »
I would like to run the above example query with a COUNT (*) SELECT all first before running the actual SELECT col1, col2, col3. This way if the rows returned exceeds a certain threshold, say, 500 lines, I could pop a message saying "more than 500 rows will be returned. Do you want to continue? ». If the user clicks Yes, then I go ahead and perform the actual query and fill the grid. If the user clicks on no, then the user gets a chance to adjust its settings.
Y at - it an easy way to do short of coding (essentially) two versions of the same complex query, one for "SELECT COUNT (*)" and the other for "SELECT?"
Thank you.
Hey, Justin (or someone else). I quite agree with you on this... However, just to play the lawyer of the devil for a second... (or maybe not... so why I asked)
The COUNT (*) Analytics as a separate and additional column has been added to the query would be a significant hit to the performance? I have simply discarded with a little, but set of samples was not big enough - I'll try a larger, later when I get time.
something like:
- SELECT *.
- DE)
- SELECT col1, col2,... colx, count (*) NTC)
- OF tab1 tab2, tab 3 t3 t2, t1, etc.
- WHERE
- T1.Key1 = t2.key1
- and t2.key2 = t3.key2,
- and... etc.
- and t1.coldate > p_FilterDateFrom
- and t1.coldate<>
- and t2.somefield = p_FilterSomeFilter
- and t3.someotherfield = p_FilterSomeOtherField
- and... etc.
- order of something)
- where rownum<=>=>
So, you can then enter the total number of any line (probably the first) and know how much you have?
I'm sure it's more work than simply without... However, I guess that the real question... How much better it is than to the separate account? (if applicable)

How to select all the text with QNX TextInput
With QNX TextInput, is there a way to select all the text? Spark TextInput a selectAll() method to select all text, but I do not see a similar method in QNX TextInput. No idea how you can choose all the texts with QNX TextInput. Thank you.
Hey French,.
Thanks for the clarification! I think I can help you. Here is a code example to show my explanation. In the code below when a user clicks the LabelButton object it will assign the focus to your TextInput object and then select all the text in this object. The only downside is that it will not bring the keyboard. so far, we are not successfully by invoking the keyboard without the user clicking on the TextInput. in any case in the code below, we use TextInput property the textField object as a reference to the TextField object internal. from there, we use the setSelection() method to select the text inside the object from the start to the end position pos. Here's the same code:
package { import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.display.StageAlign; import flash.display.StageScaleMode; import flash.events.FocusEvent; import flash.events.MouseEvent; import qnx.ui.buttons.LabelButton; import qnx.ui.text.TextInput; [SWF(width="1024",height="600",backgroundColor="#CCCCCC",frameRate="30")] public class TextInputTest extends Sprite { private var myInput:TextInput; public function TextInputTest() { super(); // support autoOrients stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT; stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE; myInput = new TextInput(); myInput.setSize(300,50); addChild(myInput); var newBtn:LabelButton = new LabelButton(); newBtn.label = "Click Me"; newBtn.setPosition(325, 0); newBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, selectMyText); addChild(newBtn); } private function selectMyText(e:MouseEvent):void { stage.focus = myInput; myInput.textField.setSelection(0, myInput.textField.length); } } }
hope it's what you want. Good luck!

Call javascript function when select all is checked the report
Hi Experts
Ive a tabular manual from query below
SELECT Apex_item.checkbox (1, ID, 'onclick = enableButton ()') select, a, b, c of table
By choosing 1 or more checkbox individually, enableButton() is called, and works very well as expected
However when select all is done, I do not know how to call the same function
Position of column select is: < input type = "checkbox" onclick = "$f_CheckFirstColumn (this)" / > (topic is a checkbox, check, selects all rows in the report) "
I tried: < input type = "checkbox" onclick = "$f_CheckFirstColumn (this)" onclick = "javascritp:enableButton(); "/ >. It does not help
Is it possible to call the function when select all is checked?

How to select all the text in the document?
I need to select all the text in a long export to RTF document. I only seem to be able to select a story. Any ideas of how I can do?
Thank you
Ian
Cannot be done. You will need to attach all the text boxes in a long history, or to use the 'ExportAllStories.jsx' script that comes with your installation default InDesign.
There are other alternatives (each using scripts), and the best way may depend on what are your intentions with the exported file - for example, if you want to read back into their original text after the mounting frames, well, there are ways to do it.

How to select all the values populated both of LOV
Hi all.
I developed a form containing fields in a table. I join these areas a LOV (which get values in the other table). Now, I have to select a value only once for each record.
But my question is how to map all the LOV values to these fields at a time. If it is possible what exactly is the way.
If this is not possible then what is the way to do that.
Thanks in advanceHello!
Try using this code.
You will get a lot of messages, but you can discover what column could not be red:declare l_group recordgroup := find_group ( 'lov27' ); l_result pls_integer; begin if show_lov --> show the lov and user selected a value then l_result := populate_group ( l_group ); clear_record; for i in 1..get_group_row_count ( l_group ) loop message ( 'reading personal no' ); :bill_detail.personal_no := get_group_char_cell ( 'lov27.personal_no', i ); message ( 'reading name' ); :bill_detail.name := get_group_char_cell ( 'lov27.name', i ); message ( 'reading desigantion' ); :bill_detail.designation := get_group_char_cell ( 'lov27.designation', i ); message ( 'reading rank' ); :bill_detail.rank := get_group_char_cell ( 'lov27.rank', i ); message ( 'reading basic scale' ); :bill_detail.basic_scale := get_group_number_cell ( 'lov27.basic_scale', i ); message ( 'reading basic pay' ); :bill_detail.basic_pay := get_group_number_cell ( 'lov27.basic_pay', i ); message ( 'reading basic pay' ); :bill_detail.vendor_no := get_group_number_cell ( 'lov27.vendor_no', i ); message ( 'reading branch code' ); :bill_detail.branch_code := get_group_number_cell ( 'lov27.branch_code', i ); message ( 'reading sr no' ); :bill_detail.sr_no := get_group_number_cell ( 'lov27.sr_no', i ); create_record; end loop; first_record; end if; end;

How to select all the text in an EditField?
Hello
I'm trying to select all of the text in an EditField using:
EditField editField = new EditField("Label:", "ABC", EditField.DEFAULT_MAXCHARS, 0); editField.setSelection(0, true, editField.getText.lenght());
but the text is not selected. Any idea? Thank you
I do not see a method called setSelection in EditField docs, so not sure what it does even if it exists. Compile your code?
When I need to select text, I use something like this:
editField.select (false);
editField.setCursorPosition (index1);
editField.select (true);
editField.setCursorPosition (index2);
The text between index1 and index2 is selected.

How to select all the text fields at a given time in Adobe Reader ms?
I created a document that contains more than one text field I created with Acrobat Pro DC, I want to allow the user the ability to select all fields in order to change the text size/color and fonts at the same time... not having to go through the entire form and must make each field separately. To be a little more specific, the document is two pages with six place/lounge cards per page, designed for weddings and other events. Each place card has a field for 'user name' and ' number of table: my question is...» Is it possible to 'select all fields' in Adobe Reader? If I go to Edition > select all, the program selects all graphics and none of the text fields. Not exactly what I'm missing here and I can not find my answer online. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Jodi
In this case, you can only change the properties of the text selected within a field. Acrobat Reader cannot change the properties of the text field.
