is it possible to find the control name for control which is an edit method in ax 2012 form.
i.e how to find control name for edit method control.
I tried but could not find the correct name .
You can right click on the edit method and click "view details" and it will show you something like Fld_23 in the lower right corner.
Or if you need to dynamically determine this, I wrote a blogpost on how to recursively enumerate every control on the form. http://alexondax.blogspot.com/2014/05/how-to-use-recursion-to-loop-over-form.html
The controls are generated at runtime and there is a variable counter that just counts up as each new dynamic control is added during form runtime. So you can use the name you discover, as long as the form doesn't keep getting modified. It might be a good idea to just obtain the static group object or whatever that contains the edit method, then just find the child from there.
You must Right Click on form and click on Personalize option.
In personalization form , Goto information tab and Click on Edit form name.
Then You can see and edit form controls in AOT.
You can use below link for more information.

When I drag Class element onto my diagram there is a window fired "Paste Class1", where I can choose the drop type, such as "Link","Property","Instance (Object)" and so.
I need to change that behavior - when I drag from ProjectBrowser I need apply only drop type "Link" and hide any variants from end user. Is it possible to do that via addin or anything else ?
Sparx 13.5
No you can't change the behavior of that dialog.
What you can do in an add-in is overrule whatever the user chose after the fact, and make it into a link anyway. (e.g. deleting the instance from the model and set the elementID of the classifier in the DiagramObject instead)
There is also a checkbox option to only show this window when Ctrl-drag is used. That might help to avoid mishaps as well.
I would like to display some information to the user via Matlab App Designer's GUI. I am new to this program and can't seem to find a widget that provides what I feel should be a simple function. Am I missing something? Examples would include showing the user:
The path of the file that he/she selected
Errors such as "No files detected" that are printed in a Matlab script called on by the GUI code.
Other print statements in code such as "Done!", etc that will inform the user when a process is complete.
Is there a way to capture the output in the Matlab command line and report these in a window of some sort in the GUI? Thanks in advance!
You can use a TextArea to display information for the user. Here's how I made a simple example:
Drag a button to the app in design view.
Drag in a text area also. I changed the label to Feedback.
Select the button and use the Callbacks tab in the bottom right of app designer to add a callback with the default name it gives you.
Edit the callback to contain
answer = 'what your want to display';
app.FeedbackTextArea.Value = answer;
When you push the button the text area gets filled. In your code, instead of just setting 'answer' to some string, set a variable using whatever code is dealing with your user's information. The key is to store what you want the user to see in a variable and then assign that to the "Value" parameter of the text area or other widget where you want them to see the results.
What I am trying to accomplish:
Use button to open a form, filter the form, and set specific value to an unbound textbox in the opened form's header. There are multiple buttons being used open the same form and I would like this textbox to changed every time a specific button is clicked.
What I have done so far:
Used a macro to open the form and the "where" condition to filter the records. I also used "SetProperty" to change the value of the unbound textbox in the opened form's header depending on which button was clicked. When I do used the SetProperty option in the macro I get the error "The control name ... is misspelled or refers to a control that doesn't exist. Error 32004
I have verified numerous times that this is the correct name for the textbox and everything. I am pretty new to access and don't do VBA all that much so any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
First Form and Macro for the "Physical Security" Button
Second form with error and unbound txt box I want to change to "Physical Security"
A few Ideas to track down your problem:
Maybe there's a problem with opening and (immediately) accessing the forms controls(?) You could try to fire a macro from within the same from that (only) changes the value of this text-box to make sure it definitely works there. Of course you'd want to make it work there if it failed before you'd go back to your original problem.
Is the property called value? Could it be text?
Are you sure you need to separate (all) hierarchies using !? Just by desperation: Maybe try using Forms!frmVW.txtXY or Forms.frmVW.txtXY
If that doesn't solve it:
It's often best to reduce your problem to it's very basics. Copy your application (!!!!) and radically delete unneeded stuff. Or start a short experiment from scratch (one or two forms, maybe only a button and a textbox, a macro, most probably not even a single Datatable/Source).
I have created a basic form in access that has a couple of buttons and text fields.
I want the button to do something along the lines of when I click it, it should bring up a browse file dialog and when I select a file, change the text field to the path of the file.
My question is how can I program this? Specifically, do I create a module that goes like?
sub command1_onClick()
..bla bla...
end sub
Or are forms programmed differently? How can I tie a function to a button?
You can add actions to the button. In the properties window of the button is an Event-Tab. Click on On Click and select Event Procedure. You are then taken to the VBA Editor (ALT+F11) into following procedure:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
End Sub
In that procedure, you can use an API call to open the standard file dialog:
API: Call the standard Windows File Open/Save dialog box
The TestIt function in above link shows you hove to open the dialog and get the path. You can set your textbox to that path like this:
Me!Text1 = strPath
strPath has to be populated with the path you get from the file dialog.
You will want to look at the file dialog property.
Dim fDialog As Office.FileDialog
MSDN File Dialog
The above shows an example that is performed on a button click
The example adds the selected file to a listbox, for your situation you would want to use a simple textbox instead of the listbox.
You may want to set AllowMultiSelect to false to ignore the looping part if you only want one item. (this would simplify the code in the example for you.
.AllowMultiSelect = false
I may be a lil rusty but then you would want to do something like this(someone edit or correct me if I am way off)
Assuming you used varFile
(Dim varFile As Variant)
Me.TextBox1.Text = varFile
EDIT: After encountering error
It seems the error can come froma few things. Check to make sure the reference is there.
Also you may need to add the Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library reference.
See the "More information" section of this Link (Hopefully 2002 is close enough to 2003)
. It may have a few more helpful tips if that doesn't solve the problem.
GTK+ noob question here:
Would it be possible to customize the GtkFileChooserButton or GtkFileChooserDialog to remove the 'Places' section (on the left) and the 'Location' entry box on the top?
What I'm essentially trying to do is to allow the user to select files only from a particular folder (which I set using gtk_file_chooser_set_current_folder ) and disable navigating to other locations on the file system.
This is the standard file chooser dialog :
This is what I need:
It doesn't look like that is possible with the standard file chooser dialog. For example, here is a document discussing why such a thing would be useful and how it could be implemented, but the idea never made it to fruition.
What you can do, perhaps, is write your own dialog that implements the GtkFileChooser interface, based on the GtkFileChooserDialog code, but hides the location bar and bookmarks list.
You can get a handle on the individual children by finding out where there are with gtkparasite and then accessing them with get_children.
Make sure to use .show() instead of .run() for inspecting the dialog with gtkparasite. If you use .run() the dialog is shown in modal mode so you can't inspect it.
For example I hide the Path and Places widgets with the statements below:
dialog = gtk.FileChooserDialog("Open***", None, gtk.FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN,
(gtk.STOCK_CANCEL, gtk.RESPONSE_CANCEL,gtk.STOCK_OPEN, gtk.RESPONSE_OK))
dialog.set_show_hidden(True)
dialog.set_default_response(gtk.RESPONSE_OK)
vbox = dialog.get_children()[0].get_children()[0].get_children( [0].get_children()[0]
vbox.get_children()[0].hide()
vbox.get_children()[2].get_children()[0].hide()
Of course this is not an exposed API so it can always break from underlying changes.
Hope it makes sense ...
