• Why is there not a reference point locator in the scale tool dialog box in Illustrator?

  I guess that's also a suggestion that it is, but why isn't there a reference point locator in the scale tool dialog box in Illustrator? Maybe the function exists and I'm not aware, but it would just using the tool of the easier level. I realize, I can type in mathematics to scale upwards or downwards in the palette transform or workspace, but the scale tool dialog box offers the additional advantage to allow you to preview the results, while the other options are not. Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated.

  Roger,

• Completely disable the "Untrusted connection" dialog box

  I am a professional developer stuck behind a proxy at work. The behavior of this power of Attorney causes the SSL connection attempts get a certificate signed by my company, not the web site I try to connect to. I have no control over the proxy, so change this behaviour is out of the question.

  I need to use Firefox for a number of things and am generally fine adding exceptions for sites that I want to connect. However, some sites like github.com loading resources many other areas via SSL (CDN, Google Analytics, Gravatar, etc.). For these sites, I try to add exceptions in order to allow the company a signed, cert but I can only add to github.com, not any other sites, so even after adding an exception I'm brought back in the right to the page "this connection is untrusted". No matter how many times I try to grant a waiver, I never really get to github.com.

  Other browsers on my system are administered remotely and seem to be configured to automatically trust signed certs society. I need to know how to manually configure Firefox to always trust these certificates OR never shows me the unreliable connection dialog box and just maybe show red in the address bar when he does not trust the site cert.

  Apparently in OS X, there are at the level of the authorities of certification system. I don't know why it does not use Firefox, but I was able to export the CA company and import it in Firefox. Finally solved my problem.

• I can't find 'save to desktop' in the Save as dialog box to an Excel on Win7

  In fact I do not see how to save any kind of file on my desktop with Win 7 and MS Office 2007 Pro.

  There is that no more save it as only includes orders for the economy in several formats, but the dialog box that opens shows not the desktop as the destination to save in.  The only affected destinations are;  models, Favorites, libraies, residential, computer group, WIN7C and network.  I explored all the and can not find any "desktop."

  Desktop is not listed under Favorites on the left side of the Save as
  dialog box? Simply click on it.

  But note that I strongly recommend against save data files in the
  desktop computer. My recommendation is that you put nothing else that shortcuts on
  the desktop computer. There are two things wrong to put the real files it:

  1. one day probably will remove you a real file, thinking that you were
  just remove a shortcut.

  2. you you cluttering up the desktop with too many files, making it difficult
  to find what you are looking for.

  You have to put your files Excel (and other real data files) in the
  Documents folder. If you have some of these files you want
  access often, put shortcuts to these files on the desktop.

• Native of filebrowse using and the cascading Save dialog box

  In my application I need to open file and file save dialog box when a specific button is clicked. I looked at the docs of stunts, but I found that the native options. Tried the native alert dialog, change of filebrowse dialog type. It displays well on Simulator, but could not get any output file that will be used in the Qt code.

  I pass these parameters

  int * num = NULL;

  char * folder [1024];
  dialog_update (alert_dialog);

  to dialog_event_get_filebrowse_filepaths(event,file,num), but it always returns BPS_FAILURE.

  In addition, access_shared is present in the bar-descriptor

  Native Subforums have no useful information on this subject. Any help is greatly appreciated

  Hello again, here's the example as promised.

  To use the native filebrowse dialog box, the native code must run in its own thread to prevent the user interface in the Cascades to block. This is achieved by encapsulating all the dialog box code in a class derived from QThread.  The class I wrote is called FileBrowseDialog

          dialog_destroy(m_dialog);
      }
  }
  

  This class derives from QObject (by QThread) which means that it can be used by QML when it exposes properties and signals. The FileBrowseDialog class has 3 properties

  -multiple selection: a Boolean flag indicating if single or multiple selection is allowed

  -filepaths: a read only value that returns the list of files selected

  -Filters: a read/write value is where you can specify one or more filters to file (for example, ".doc", "*.jpg") etc.

  The next part is how you call the FileBrowseDialog through the QML. To do this, we must inform the QML of the FileBrowseDialog page. This is done in the App class via the qmlregistertype code.

  App.cpp

  #include 
  #include 
  #include 
  
  #include "app.hpp"
  #include "FileBrowseDialog.hpp"
  
  using namespace bb::cascades;
  
  App::App()
  {
      qmlRegisterType("Dialog.FileBrowse", 1, 0, "FileBrowseDialog");
      QmlDocument *qml = QmlDocument::create("main.qml");
      qml->setContextProperty("cs", this);
  
      AbstractPane *root = qml->createRootNode();
      Application::setScene(root);
  }
  

  The QML is now ready to be able to use the FileBrowseDialog. The example below is a page complete qml which has a button and a label. When we click on the FileBrowseDialog button is open, and all selected files will appear in the label.

  Main.QML

  import bb.cascades 1.0
  import Dialog.FileBrowse 1.0
  
  Page {
      content: Container {
          Label { id: filebrowseDialogLabel }
          Button {
              text : "File Browse Dialog"
              onClicked: {
                  filebrowseDialog.show();
              }
          }
          attachedObjects: [
              FileBrowseDialog {
                  id: filebrowseDialog
                  multiselect : true
                  filters : ["*.doc","*.jpg","*.txt"]
                  onSelectionCompleted: {
                      if(filebrowseDialog.filepaths.length>0)
                          filebrowseDialogLabel.text = filebrowseDialog.filepaths[0];
                      else
                          filebrowseDialogLabel.text = "no file selected";
                  }
                  onSelectionCancelled: {
                      filebrowseDialogLabel.text = "file browse dialog was cancelled";
                  }
              }
          ]
      }
  }
  

  And it's pretty much just invoke the native dialog file navigation in stunts. Please note save the file would follow a similar model, but I found that this dialog box was not particularly useful because it displays only a simple dialogbox with a text file name entry.

  See you soon

• Definition of area of purge without any effects in the document size dialog box

  Hi all

  
  

  Can I create a new document with the bleeding, it works very well. Should I try to change the lost funds, it seems not to be saved by the document size dialog box.

  
  

  Here is my code to create the document:

  NewDocCmd InterfacePtr < ICommand > (() Utils < IDocumentCommands >-> CreateNewCommand(K2::kFullUI));))

  NewDocCmdData InterfacePtr < INewDocCmdData > (newDocCmd, UseDefaultIID());

  newDocCmdData-> SetCreateBasicDocument (kFalse);

  newDocCmdData-> SetNewDocumentPageSize (PMPageSize (width, height));

  newDocCmdData-> SetWideOrientation ((width>height)? kTrue: kFalse);

  newDocCmdData-> SetMargins (left, top, right, bottom);

  newDocCmdData-> SetNumPages (numPages);

  newDocCmdData-> SetPagesPerSpread (1);

  newDocCmdData-> SetColumns_4 (colNum, gridDist, IColumns::kVerticalColumnOrientation);

  newDocCmdData-> SetUseUniformBleed (false);

  PMRect bleedBox.

  bleedBox.Left (mm2pt(bleedLeft/1000.f));

  bleedBox.Top (mm2pt(bleedTop/1000.f));

  bleedBox.Right (mm2pt(bleedRight/1000.f));

  bleedBox.Bottom (mm2pt(bleedBottom/1000.f));

  newDocCmdData-> SetBleedBox (bleedBox);

  Create the new document.

  CmdUtils::ProcessCommand (newDocCmd);

  The document size dialog box shows my correct bleeding.

  And this is the code I use to change him bleed (suppose bleedBox has different values now):

  InterfacePtr < ICommand > pageCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kSetPageSizeCmdBoss));)

  InterfacePtr < IDocSetupCmdData > pageData (pageCmd, IID_IDOCSETUPCMDDATA);

  pageData-> SetDocSetupCmdData (docRef, PMPageSize (width, height), 1, 1, width > height, kLeftToRightBinding, kTrue);

  pageData-> SetUseUniformBleed (false);

  pageData-> SetBleedBox (bleedBox);

  The SetPageSizeCmd process

  CmdUtils::ProcessCommand (pageCmd);

  No error, but also no change in the dialog box the size of the document. Purge values are unchanged.

  What else I have to call the dialog box to show my new bleeding?

  
  

  If I give the word

  	BB2 = pageData-> GetBleedBox();

  then bb2, later the (modified) values.

  
  

  Thanks for all your advice!

  Hi kb_alfa

  Use kSetPageSetupPrefsCmdBoss instead of kSetPageSizeCmdBoss

• Showing the full path of the file in the Save as dialog box

  I'm a relatively new for MAC OS and I took the habit of intelligent services on Microsoft file manipulation, in particular to the Save as dialog box. Who has a little smart "arrows" and "buttons" allowing you to ask around the system of files easily, but I faced something else in the MAC operating system.

  Finally, I was able to pass on the path of file bar in the Finder (basically, that nice, small bar with the name of folders/sub-sub-sub-folders you can switch to and it shows "where you are both in the file system"), but I don't miss the Save as dialog box. I tried to find it in the settings to turn it on, scoured the internet, talked with experts at Apple, also called the central phone number, but I couldn't learn all solutions to get the bar path of file under tension to the Save as dialog box.

  And believe me, it's very annoying, when you create a file structure when you register under ' week/Tuesday/XY client Documents/work/approvals/journal/2016/August/2nd /' a file and for the recording of the version changed the same file under the same path, but not to not only return to the file a subfolder creation there AB of the customer, I have to click again through the whole lot.

  The arrows 'story' don't help because when I click on the it puts me directly to record under the folder where I have the last recorded the previous file, or help click on the drop-down above, where records are listed because I could never find the subfolder where I want to go back to there.

  Are there solutions to get the path of file under tension to the Save dialog box under?

  Or is there a plan to get it in the new version of the operating system?

  It is the same on the open file dialog box...

  ..., and I don't want to keep a Finder opens just to copy..., on the way to the record, which was the same effort and has been even more professional!

  I would like to just turn this simple file path bar,..., even that which is available in the Finder!

  Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks for sharing your thoughts in advance, Ian

• Use the own user dialog box

  Hello

  I want to use my own user dialog box at startup of the user interface. This dialog gets the user to a database of information and I'm not logging in twice.

  Is it possible, where can I disable the standard dialog box, where I should put my dialog box and what data should I send to TS.

  Using TS3.0 and LV8.2.1.

  schwede greetings

  Schwede-

  If you want to change the user login dialog box when you start TestStand, what you want to do is to change the sequence of LoginLogout in the sequence FrontEndCallbacks.seq file. Before editing, I recommend that you copy the folder \Components\NI\Callbacks\FrontEnd \Components\User\Callbacks in the Directory. Then, modify the files there. You want to replace the steps of connection and disconnection of the sequence of LoginLogout with your own steps that display your own personal dialog box.

  I hope this helps.

• In XP, when you try to open any file, get the "Open with" dialog box

  After a virus infection that I cleaned up, I now have the 'open with' dialog box popping up whenever I want to open a file.  I tried a restore of the system, but to no avail.  What do you suggest to me.  Thank you

• Can not enter wildcard (*) in the file selection dialog box when opening a file

  It's something I've not seen before. I posted this question in the forum Autodesk AutoCad LT five days ago, but I got no answer at all. Because I'm not sure whether it is a Windows or a problem with Autocad, I thought I'll try to post here, too.

  On one of our AutoCad workstations, when you open a drawing, we cannot enter a wildcard character (*) in the file selection dialog box to help unravel the drawings.

  In other words, say there are 10 versions of a drawing with the number 5008. I should be able to enter the 5008 * and just see these ten designs. On this computer, when I try to type an asterisk (*), I get this error message: invalid character. The following characters are not allowed in file names: \ /: *? "<>

  Now, I know that they are not allowed... but I don't mean to create a file name. I'm just trying to classify them. On our other RTE Autocad workstations, the wildcard character works fine.  What's up with this one? Y at - it a setting or a variable that controls this?

  Thanks - Kevin

  Hello

  ·         The problem occurs with any other application?

  It may be some setting in Auto CAD, which raises the question, and its best you seek help from experts in DAO automatic.

• Remote Desktop area is missing the 'Remote' tab in the System Properties dialog box window?

  Remote Desktop area is missing the 'Remote' tab in the System Properties dialog box window? I can not set up or add users. Remote assistance is the ONLY settings and options that I see. It is a brand new OEM Vista Home Premium X 64 installation with all updates (SP2). That's the problem since it was first started.

  I'm sorry, but it is not possible to access Vista Home Premium via Remote Desktop.  To do this, you need Vista Business or Vista Ultimate.

• The "Windows features" dialog box is empty in Windows 7

  When I click on turn on or off Windows features in the programs and features Control Panel, the Windows features dialog box is empty, no functionality is displayed. What should I do?

  Thank you buddy, but sfc.exe/scannow not worked and I faced another error! (windows resource protection could not start the repair service).

  Finally, I found the solution:
  (1) If you receive the error "Registry space" low, set the size limit of the registry to "unlimited":

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control

  Key: RegistrySizeLimit

  Type: REG_DWORD

  Value: 0xffffff (4294967295)

  (2) restart

  (3) as administrator, open a command prompt and run "SFC/scannow". The command should complete successfully and when errors have been detected, they should be corrected.

  Follow the steps and good luck!

• I try to print, get the error message "Please enable setting"Enable bidirectional communication"in the printer properties dialog box.

  When I tried to print I got the message (please turn on the setting "enable bidirectional Communication" in the printer properties dialog box ") but I need to know how to do this.

  On the start menu, menu on the side right should be a button devices and printers, which will bring you to the page printers. There you can find your printer and right click on it and select Properties. This would be the place to enable two-way communication, but beyond that, I can't help you as I don't know what would the Properties window for your printer.
