Add a parameter to your package. Scope is not important. Set the Sensitive property to True.
Add a new File System Task to your package.
Double click to open the editor.
Set IsDestinationPathVariable = True
Attempt to set the property DestinationVariable.
You will see that the dialog box closes (crashes?) and you can never enter the variable.
It works fine for the SourceVariable property.
Yeah, this does look like a bug. However, I've found that if you open the Properties box for the File System Task, you can manually type in the variable name in the Destination property in the form User::VARNAME. Not an ideal workaround, but better than having to remove sensitive parameters during development.

A Granite/Coral component PathField (granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/pathfield) provides a dialog box to select a path. Is it possible to set a default path to start from? I mean, something that can be changed by the user, not rootPath.
Have you considered using the value property? It's what the widget sets when you click through the content tree and select a page/resource. If you set this yourself in the dialog definition, the dialog should load with your path pre-set and allow the user to change it if necessary.
I'm unable to link an Input Control to my report's Parameter. I feel I'm doing right, but I can't see the desired result in the final report.
My intention is to create a list, filled by some options, and display the list in a report as a parameter, so the user can (multi)select the options. As far as I know, I must create an Input Control on the server, create a Parameter on the report using the same name between the Input Control and the Parameter.
I've created a List of Values named ListaCalificaciones as follows:
Then, this is the Input Control:
Finally, this is the parameter:
However, when it comes to show the report on Jasper Server's web interface, I can't see a filled input:
Am I missing something?
By the way, I'm using Jasper Studio 6.6.0 and Jasper Server 7.1.0 (compiled version 20180504_1307).
Edit 2018/10/05 13:04
I've changed the input control, so that the id is ic_calificaciones and the name stays as it was (Calificaciones). I've found a way to make it work. First, I deploy the report to my server (local server in my case). Then, I edit the report, go to "Controls and resources", remove the ic_calificaciones parameter and add a InputControl parameter to the report. That way the Calificaciones parameter gets filled up with options.
I found the solution, it was just in front, but due to a poor UI I just didn't realise...
You must edit your parameter's name to match the Input Control's name, in my case it ought to be ic_valoracion. Then, the parameter-to-input-control-binding has to be made when publishing the report to the server.
So, being in Jasper Studio, click on publish button, as seen in the following picture:
Now, select the location where to publish the report. Then, the second step is what we're looking for, it's the place where you must select the resources to publish. As seen in the next image, you must edit your parameter's type to select "Link To Resource", click on whichever place and a new prompt will appear. Now, there, select the desired Input Control.
Finally, test your report.
I am busy with a C script in Siemens WinCC.
I would like to open a faceplate on in which I can open other faceplates.
Howerver, I would like to use the Tagprefix from the first faceplate in the second. Does anybody have an idea how I can give the tag prefix through?
Thanks in advance!
Tom
As You know, the tag prefix is a property of the screen window. You need to provide that data to the script running in the context of the picture inside the picture window from the parent screen window.
One solution is by using a text field "tagname" in the "faceplate" and use that as a source of the tag-prefix name. The tag-prefix can be transferred by a simple vbs script that runs "on open".
Use VBS "Item.parent.TagPrefix" and then give the result to the text field.
Or just from a button in the picture "Item.parent.parent.TagPrefix" is also ok.
The same in C would use the functions "GetParentPictureWindow", and return a string(lpsz) containing the name of the picture window. This name can be used to read the property of the object with this name using "GetPropChar" using "Tagprefix" as the property.

I have a preferences pane built using Cocoa bindings, and many of the options are check boxes. Some of these should only be editable if others are turned on. Here is an example - the indented (selected) box should only be enabled when the one above it is turned on:
To make this work I created two entries in my defaults, one for the value of each check box (the first two):
Testing this worked fine, I could turn the boxes on and off and the values were saved run-to-run as I expected. Ok, finally I want to link the enabled status of the second to the first:
And at that point, the entire system stops working - the preferences pane opens but it's empty. This prints in the output:
2016-02-25 08:46:04.691 SwiftNEC[49564:4153826] Failed to set (contentViewController) user defined inspected property on (NSWindow): Cannot create BOOL from object <_NSControllerObjectProxy: 0x618000003be0> of class _NSControllerObjectProxy
Un-binding this makes everything work again. Now unless I'm mistaken, the enabled value should be a Boolean, and the preferences definitely is a Boolean (as you can see). Can anyone offer an explanation of how to do this?
I've developed an application that load an image using the context menu of window (right click on the file) and for the moment is working, but the reg key is on
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*
and it works with all files.
I want that the menu item on the context menu should be displayed only with .jpg files.
How can I do that? Which registry keys should I use?
Identify the file type (ProgID) for .jpg files
This can be done by checking the default value of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg. It could be anything based on what you've installed, but for the purposes of this example, we'll call it jpegfile, a common default.
Set the context menu item (verb) properties for that file type
You can set per-user context menu items in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\jpegfile\shell. This key has a list of verbs for the file type. There is a similar key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\jpegfile\shell, and these are the system defaults for the file type. You can put a verb key there too, but if the same key exists in HKCU, it will be overridden, so be advised.
Set the command value
The bare minimum key value that needs to be set to get it to work is the default value of the command subkey. You need to set that with the path to your application, like so: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\jpegfile\shell\open_with_myapp\command would be set to "c:\path\to\myapp.exe" "%1". Now a context menu for .jpg files will have a "open_with_myapp" item which will launch your app when clicked, and pass the file name of the selected file as a parameter. Of course, how your application processes parameters is up to you, so you'd need to set the parameter string to something your app can process.
Set other verb properties
I'd imagine you're probably going to want the context menu item to read something a little more friendly than the key name. You can have the context menu display whatever label you want for your item by setting the default value of that key (open_with_myapp).
That's your basic overview. Definitely check out my answer to this question about associating a file, which has a similar answer:
Create registry entry to associate file extension with application in C++
There's another key on the registry that works independently of user's default programs: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations. Since nobody mentioned it on this question... No need to check ProgID before adding the context menu item. Example:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.mkv\shell\subtitle]
#="Search subtitles..."
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.mkv\shell\subtitle\command]
#="\"D:\\Tools\\subsearch.exe\" \"%1\""
Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/shell/app-registration#registering-verbs-and-other-file-association-information
Additional Considerations:
The HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT subtree can be written to but in general is a view formed by merging
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes
file type registration visible to the current user only
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes
globally register a file type on a particular computer
You can register to those classes instead/aswell
The (ProgID) defined verbs have priority over the same ones defined in ...\SystemFileAssociations\ , but are dependent on that particular Application, When that application uninstalls, it would normally delete its registry entry, along with what modifications/additions you may have done under that key. Or if the default (ProgID) is changed, your modifications will no longer be in effect.
The ...\SystemFileAssociations\ registrations are stable even when users change/uninstall the default programs.
Will publish my working solution derived from the previous answer (and one of its author's other answer).
It also adds an icon. I used it for all file types and didn't have administrator's privileges. The subitem * didn't exist in my registry, I created it myself.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\*]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\*\shell]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\*\shell\open_with_notepad_pp]
#="Open with Notepad++"
"icon"="C:\\portable\\npp.7.9\\notepad++.exe"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\*\shell\open_with_notepad_pp\command]
#="\"C:\\portable\\npp.7.9\\notepad++.exe\" \"%1\""
UPDATE
Replace * with something like .svg and only for this extension the menu item will be shown.
