Making a function of confidence for a dialog box?

My goal is to create a set of application-level scripts to automate common tasks for report generation.  I want a dialog allowing to collect the paths and page numbers for the various assets being manipulated.  The user provides the input, hit OK, and the script accesses.

My problem:  SECURITY.

App.browseForDoc () call throws a security error!  I am new to the Acrobat object model and its security model.  I can't wrap my brain around the documentation on this topic.

Can someone give a peek at the code example below and point me in the right direction?

var dialogAutoReport = {
    initialize: function (dialog) 
    {
        //INSERT CODE TO INITIALIZE DEFAULTS HERE
    },
    commit: function (dialog) 
    { 
        var results = dialog.store();

        console.println("Running report " + results["te1"]);
    },
    btn1: function (dialog)
    {
        console.println("Browse button pressed!");
        app.beginPriv();
        var oBrowseResult = app.browseForDoc();
        app.endPriv();
        if (typeof oBrowseResult != "undefined")

  • Generate the log file for the dialog box

  • Read in Excel for user dialog box

    Hello

    I am currently working on a senior design project in which I first need to create a username and password for people using the vi.  I am very new to LabVIEW and after a search through the help file in LabVIEW, I discovered a login dialog box that seems to be exactly what I need.  I works fine, but I need to design my code in such a way that an administrator has total control over adding, removing or modifying the usernames and passwords.  I would like to create an Excel file where this administrator can reach this goal through a column "username" and "password" column, so that the vi can call these strings in the Excel file in the vi and the user names and passwords will be always saved.  I posted the vi I've tried to work with below.  Instead of the table user in place, I'm guessing that would be replaced by the Excel file to call from?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    Chris

    I couldn't open your vi as a Subvi is missing.

    You can reference vi attached with this post.

    I used the text instead of excelsheet file.

    We apologize for the inconviences. The product team is currently studying the bug and seeks to provide a fix in the near future.

    In the meantime, try the suggestions provided by Nolanco or jwsiddons as a workaround.

  • Shortcut for the dialog box method replace Pages

    What is the method of shortcut keyboard to set up the dialog box replaces Pages.  I use a function to replace the Pages a lot in the preparation of PDF documents and need a faster method than to use the mouse on the side bar to the right of the tools.  I note this shortcut key to insert pages is Ctrl-Shift-I - what is the shortcut to replace Pages.  Previous Acrobat 9, I use alt - DNR, which brought up the dialog box replaces the Pages via the menu, but is no longer part of the Document in the menu bar — it has been deleted.  Please, it's VERY important to me.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    There is no keyboard shortcut to replace Pages and, unfortunately, there is no way in Acrobat X Pro to set a keyboard shortcut.

    The way the faster I know to bring up the command replace Pages is to customize the quick tools (the gear in the top toolbar icon) allows you to add Pages to replace the quick toolbar. It will then be a click to order.

  • An idea for the dialog box Image size

    Just an idea I had. Should at least make it easier to explain the concept of resolution for beginners:

    image size.png

    Might work? Any opinions? Just a sketch of course, probably could be improved.

    I still like the idea. What I think is needed is a clear method to show the relationship of DPI, image size (not pixels) and resampling. So the beginner can grasp how dpi refers to the size of the image and how a 4 X 5 and 8 X 10 picture can have the same pixel dimension, and how two 8 X 10 images can have different resolutions. They are closely related, but I don't know how to articulate.

  • Lack of camera raw dialog box in Photoshop Elements 8 for Windows.

    Hello

    I have Photoshop Elements 8 for Windows. It runs on a Windows 32 - bit Windows Vista VirtualBox virtual machine.

    It worked fine, but suddenly opening of raw images from Nikon is no longer opens the Camera Raw dialog box, but takes me directly into the editing on Photoshop Elements.

    I really like having the area of the Camera Raw dialog box to open as I do most of my treatment using this before opening the file that results in the elements of the image.

    Does anyone know how to get this back box, or open in the elements?

    I tried to open the images in Photoshop Elements by using the element of mnu ' open under... ". "in the menu file, then the 'Camera Raw' choice as the image type, but it nevertheless opens without the Camera Raw dialog box.

    Thank you very much.

    Check your settings screen for vista resolution.

    I believe that the resolution of the screen should be at least 1024 x 768 for the dialog box camera raw show in pse 8.

    For example, if, instead of run VirtualBox full screen, your running in windowed mode or transparent and done the small window by dragging on the corner, which would automatically reduce the resolution of the screen in vista.

  • reload the file TDV stop the running of the built-in dialog box script

    We create a front end for the user in the display panel, which currently uses scripts to perform various functions via a built-in dialog box.

    Hopefully now switch between the panels of different users, but when you load a new layout (to refresh the display pane) she immediately ends execution of the script.

    Is this expected behavior? Is there a way around it? Or should we divide our script and have a push button to initialize the page until we can begin?

    Hi Peter,.

    I asked R & D to look at your application.  Your guess is correct.  You have a SUDialog into a file TDV with a callback function that loads a file TDV.  If you have a function of VBScript that - part way through execution - removes itself from memory.  The R & D mentioned analogy was sitting on the branch you are cutting the tree.

    Could you perhaps insert a custom icon or the menu or the modeless pop-up SUDialog to load a new TDV file?  What might work best for your use cases?

  • Detect if the time information dialog box controls user has been activated

    Hello

    I have to make a few changes to my project. I can't edit existing program blocks, so I have to find a way to detect if the user has pressed icon for user dialog box to set up (control type is Time Stamp). I have now, I can compare the current values with the values from the previous loop pass, but this isn't an option.

    I'm looking for some kind of property as active control node or something similar.

    It does not exist.  You can create your own time stamp control (like an XControl), or you can simply watch to see if the window is displayed. You can do the last using VI server functions or you can use the API of the operating system. For Windows, you can use the LabVIEW Windows utilities library.

    Hi lisap1110,

    It is recommended that you uninstall the printer from your computer and then download and install the latest driver from the Canon Website:

  • Open Directory dialog box does not work in FM 10 if client API is not built with 10 FDK

    Hello

    We have a FrameMaker API client that we have maintained for more than 10 years, since before the FM 6.

    We just brought the code of FDK 7 to 9 FDK so that we can finally move 7 FM support and focus on FM 9 and 10 features. Almost all the code works fine, but we have problems in a function that uses F_ApiChooseFile in FV_ChooseOpenDir mode.

    We do nothing special in the code (I am aware that by passing a value into directory argument can cause the function returns without displaying the dialog box) and you use F_ApiChooseFile in its simplest form:

    IntT err;

    StringT stemp;

    ERR = F_ApiChooseFile (& stemp, (StringT) "Select the folder containing the files to be processed.", (StringT) "", (StringT) "", FV_ChooseOpenDir, (StringT) "");

    When we create our DLL using FDK 9 client and run it in FM 9, the directory chooser dialog box appears correctly and the user can select a directory.

    When the same DLL is running in FM 10, the dialog box does not appear and the function returns immediately with err =-1 and FA_errno no error reported (as if the user has clicked Cancel).

    If I recompile the DLL using FDK 10 dialog work in FM 10, so the problem seems to certainly be related to backward compatibility with a DLL built with an earlier version of FDK.

    Unfortunately, you cannot run a DLL of FDK in FM 9 10 and we do not want to distribute and maintain two different versions of our DLL to support 9 FM and FM 10 users.

    Is there a solution to this?

    This bug was introduced in FM10. Until FM9, FV_ChooseOpenDir was #defined as "3", while in FM10, it was changed to '4' (as part of the evolution of these sets to focus on the value of flag-based). What customers can do to overcome this, is to get the FM using 'FP_VersionMajor' version, and for versions before FM10, they can pass 3 'in FM10, as an argument, the argument will be 4'.

    We will ensure that we will honor the 3 and 4 as "FV_ChooseOpenDir" in the future, but until then, workaround above should work.

    Kind regards

  • Dialog boxes personalized with GREAT text.

    LabVIEW 2010

    Since the regular dialogue vi use standard text and I need big txt I have generated my own. Can I combine strings of errors so that I can work around the error dialog boxes (sort of). However since they are called, but not run they flash briefly on the screen. To resolve this problem, I used screws wrapper for each dialog box that make handeling error unitialized shift registers equipped with remember the last item entered.

    Requirements.

    1 ask the user to information in large text.

    2. variable prompting text.

    3. don't forget previous entry (by instance)

    4 handle the error to work around the dialogue with error in.

    5. selection of "cancle" trap error

    6 focus on control of the key entry

    7. multiple instances so that when I ask the serial number, it doesn't remember the part number that I invited just to.

    This last part is the trickiest part. Where to put the re-entrant execution. Can I put it to the packaging or the dialog box? Maybe there's another that I'm missing that makes easier.

    HI Viper,

    Yes it is.  It is advisable to establish a dialogue before be displayed.  To do this, uncheck 'show façade when it is called' in the properties of the VI so the dialog does not appear initially.  Then use the FP property node. Open your VI dialogue after you look for errors.  It would be also good to populate the old data before the display of the VI.  I use this technique for re draw dialogues before being posted (show/hide controls etc.)

  • How can I change the default file locations in the dialog box "Save as" in Windows 7 x 64?

    I tried all the tips and tricks of WinXP, but they do not seem to work in Win7. Does anyone know how to change the location of the default files for the dialog box "Save as" in Win7?

    It seems, in Windows 7, that you cannot change locations by default save as file.

    In XP, we could modify the registry or use other methods to change the location of the files that appear on the left margin of the Save as dialog box. But some Morón in Redmond chose to end with good sense and called "libraries."

    I really wish Microsoft would stop doing what they think, it's the best for Grandma and little Suzy and give us what expect when we pay for these programs.
