  • Diff between dialog and Document Windows?

    Hi all

    What is the Diff between dialogue and Document Windows?

    Thank you

    Window Style antonyms:

    MDI applications display a default parent, called the application window window. All other application windows are document windows or dialog windows.

    Document windows remain as part of the application window. If the user resizes the application window so that it is smaller than a document window, the document window is cropped. An operator can enlarge a document window occupies the whole workspace of the application window.

    Dialog windows are floating, and the operator can move outside the window of the application if they have been defined as mobile. They cannot be minimized, maximized, or resized by the operator.

    Valid only for a secondary window. (A root window is a document window.)

  • How do I share my printer between my two systems of Windows 7?

    Some users find that they have a printer that is not connected to the network that worked well in a mixed Windows environment, but their two printers on Windows 7 (a host and a client) are not able to share the printer.

    Windows 7 manages networks differently than previous versions of Windows.

    The best way to start with sharing printers between several Windows 7 computers is to set up a homegroup.  A homegroup is a way to allow different Windows 7 computers communicate with each other and share resources.  Microsoft has a good article on the residential groups that includes links to various guides.

    Once the residential group is installed, the next step is to set up a host of the USB printer.

    This Microsoft article details how to enable files and printers, sharing, printer sharing and the main steps of adding the printer.

    The first two sections are fine as they are, but I would like to expand on adding a printer shared on other computers to Windows 7.

    This process tends to have the greatest success with printer sharing in Windows 7.  Most USB printers only have a driver available in Windows.

    1. Select start > devices and printers.

    2. click on add a printer up.

    3 if it is a network printer, it is not the standard current network printer.  Select Add a local printer.

    4. Select create a new port with a local port for type.

    5. enter------------ without the <> symbols.  The host name is the name of the computer on which the printer is connected to it.  If you don't know this name, go to the host computer and click Start > right click on computer > properties.  The name of the computer appears here.  Share name of the printer has been selected in a previous step in the Microsoft article.

    6. click on Ok and the printer driver appears.  Click Windows Update to ensure that it is the most recent list.

    7. Select the printer model in the list.

    8. follow the rest of the guests.

    At the end of these steps, the printer must be shared from the host computer to the other computers on Windows 7.

    A few important notes this configuration:

    1. only impression will be functional.

    2. the host computer must be on for printing to work.

    3. the host computer may enter sleep or suspension.  This interrupts the shared printer on other systems.

    With these steps, the printer must be functional on Windows 7 computers once more.

    I hope this information is useful for some.

  • How can I fix a printer model number misidentified by Windows 7?

    Windows 7 identifies my printer HP 970se and shall immediately proceed to install the driver, whereas it is actually HP 970cxi.  How can I fix the model number before you install the driver?  Unfortunately, a downloadable driver is not available for this printer for Windows 7 (64-bit).  Windows 7 does have more the driver for it because once I had the opportunity to choose between these two models, but I'm not able to reproduce this particular circumstance.  Can someone help, please?

    I tink you find that printers are the same but designated for different markets.

    Fact the installed Windows 7 driver does not work?

  • Ideas on how to create a sine wave between 0 and 10 V with NI 5412?

    Hello

    I tried to create a sine wave from 0 to 10 volts on a 5412 OR. I have 2 problems and I have a question:

    (1) I can't generate a waveform with lag, even when using the examples of NEITHER.

    (2) the value of the offset, that I can set the camera is of +/-25% range of amplitudes. Do I have to create an arbitrary waveform myself?

    (3) in the brochure it says I can get 12 v peak-to-peak. Does this mean that it is between-6 and 6, or it is between 0 and 12?

    I would appreciate it if I could see an example.

    Thank you very much.

    Hi, several notes:

    (1) the peak to peak voltage is 12V. For example, it can operate between 0 - 12V.

    (2) the shift of 25% limit is for a given wave. That means assuming that it will create a wave, it cannot compensate for 25% of the beach. The solution is to create an arbitrary wave (e.g. a sine between 0 and 10 V) and the function generator to create rather than attempt to compensate for a sine wave.

    Thanks for the help though.

    Thank you in advance, Sonya

    I don't think it's possible with dbms_xmlgen. I suggest you explore sql/xml to generate your own code xml using the keywords etc. of xmlelement, xmlagg.

    For example:

    Select xmlelement ("LINES"

    , xmlelement ("TEST", "NEW")

    XMLAGG (XMLELEMENT ("ROW",

    XMLFOREST (EMPNO,

    ENAME

    WORK

    BISHOP

    HIREDATE

    SAL

    COMM

    DEPTNO

    ) AS THE FOREST - XMLFOREST

    ) - LINE

    ) - TOT.

    ) - ROWSET

    from EMP;

    you will look like the following:

  • Networking Windows 7 and a Windows 98 computer

    Since the update to my Windows Vista computer to Windows 7, I can no longer communicate with an old Windows 98 computer I connected. I've assigned and IP for the Windows 98 computer and I've added to the list of networks on my Security Center Firewall (McAfee), as has been suggested as a possible solution.  It did not work.

    I need to be able to have the old Windows 98 computer on my home network for what one might consider a stupid reason (I've got an older scanner on this computer and large enough files that create scanners are also difficult to transfer to the new computer.  The new scanner has stopped working after only a year and a half because of what HP calls irreparable electronic failure, so I use the old scanner on a Windows 98 computer for which the software was never updated for XP/Vista/7.

    The Windows 7 computer see the network connection, but that is as far as things go. How can I get Windows 7 and Windows 98 computers to see and talk to each other?

    alanr

    Short answer: can not be done. You can access shared folders in Win98 to Windows 7 computer, but not the reverse. Scan on, one after the other using file transfer. You cannot use a Windows 7 Homegroup to connect this way, you must use the standard file sharing and printers (as in the working groups). Create an account on the Windows 98 computer that has the same user name and password for an account on the Windows 7 computer. Set up as usual on the Windows 98 file sharing computer and assign it to the same workgroup name that the Windows 7 computer use. It should then appear in a Windows 7 network and allow you to access shared folders Win98. You can see the computer Windows 7 from Windows 98, but you will not be able to access.
    All confirmed as true, but - WHY?

    Windows 7 keeps shoving homegroup into my face, as if all of the computers on the planet he runs.
    This is the notion of a network is damaged. The idea of a network is to share resources.
    After the days of violin which he inserted - PC after the name, I gave him, used for the first HOUSE as my location, then lost, has created a homegroup, when I never requseted it. Or simply behaving badly HURT.
    I was finally able to get the computer to windows 7 in the same workgroup as my other computers.
    It STILL shows it as connetion: internet! Stupid _...
    And now when I try to access is no longer an error, but asks for a password.
    My normal response to this is (Hit Enter Key - i.e. 'none' on well behaved systems.)
    I wonder what Windows 7 by default?
    No matter, the machine and the operating system will return to the store.
