I was requested to put a pop-up window on each 3rd usage of an app but I have to control this pop-up so I can take it off whenever I want or change it remotely.
I don't want an alert view, just a background that I will insert myself, that can be controlled from a server.
What's the easy way to do that? Do I need my own server that the app connects to and get a "boolean number" whether to remove it or play it?
The way I handled this was with a configuration file on an amazon s3 bucket. The application downloads the configuration file, and checks the appropriate values for how to behave. It's worked fairly well so far.

As for the window, you should just use a modal.

I need to upload a file to OneDrive, via the command line. This will be done through a batch file which is distributed to end users.
From searching on Stack Overflow, I find questions like this one which say that you need to register an app and create an app password, using Azure. I don't have the necessary permissions to do this in the organization where I work, nor can I do anything that requires an admin account. So I can't any install software - I have to use what comes with Windows 10. I can't use VBA either as that's blocked.
I've managed to download files from OneDrive without anything like that, using the process described here:
Open the URL in either of the browser.
Open Developer options using Ctrl+Shift+I.
Go to Network tab.
Now click on download. Saving file isn’t required. We only need the network activity while browser requests the file from the server.
A new entry will appear which would look like “download.aspx?…”.
Right click on that and Copy → Copy as cURL.
Paste the copied content directly in the terminal and append ‘--output file.extension’ to save the content in file.extension since
terminal isn’t capable of showing binary data.
Example:
curl https://xyz.sharepoint.com/personal/someting/_layouts/15/download.aspx?UniqueId=cefb6082%2D696e%2D4f23%2D8c7a%2
…. some long text ….

cucg=1’ --compressed --output file.extension
I tried to do something similar after clicking 'upload' on the browser, but didn't find anything useful when trying to filter the requests.
I found these two questions but there is no keyboard shortcut to upload, AFAICT. Also the end user will be uploading a file to a folder I've shared with them from my OneDrive. Opening Chrome or Edge as a minimised window is fine, but I can't just shove a window in their face which automatically clicks on things - they won't like that.
It's just occurred to me that I might be able to use an office application to Save As the file to the necessary onedrive folder, where the keyboard shortcuts are pretty stable, but have no idea how to achieve that via the command line.
The best and more secure way to accomplish this goal I think is going to be with the Rest API for OneDrive.

You still need a Azure AD App Registration (which your admin should be able to configure for you), to provide API access to services in Azure. Coding with the API is going to be far easier and less complicated, not to mention more versatile.
Hi guys,
Is it possible to select a file from a dialog box when we are running a web test in Telerik Test Studio? The scenario of this execution is when we click a field in a web browser, a windows dialog box pops out and we would need to input a path to a local folder and select a file(SelectFile.PNG).
But I'm unable to detect any element from this dialog box presuming this is because the test script is a web test and hence this limitation(do correct me if i'm wrong).
Is there any workaround or suggestion to this limitation?
Many many thanks!
Best Regards,

Kind of a late response but if your recording is enabled, it should automatically record the step for a File Upload dialog box (and handle it appropriately when using play back).
Alternatively, you can manually add the "Dialogs->FileUpload" step, and fill in the properties appropriately.
I am working on a application in which i have to update all app related settings remotely.
App setings include
Text Font
List item
Text Color
background Color
Images
Url etc..
My idea is something like this, the first time when the user install the app it start downloading all images and settings like text color, font etc.
And when ever any changes happen the app itself downlaod those changes and store it locally.
Currently i am using a constant file where i have written all required settings.
Tell me some best way to achieve this and also tell me where to save the settings.
If is there any sample app available please provide me the link.
Thanks.
You could try something like GroundControl. It updates values in NSUserDefaults from a file found on a web server.
If you have a constant file from which you read all your settings, you can place an identically formatted file on a server, (maybe have a "last updated" date saved inside these files). Upon every session init, try to download the remote settings file - if it is "later" than the one you have, or any settings is different than the one you have saved, save the newly downloaded file instead of the old one, and act upon the changes.
The settings' flags and vars may change instantly across the app, while downloading images for skin and UI occurs immidiately after this, and take effect after they have completed downloading (which may look awkward to the user) or, more plausibly, upon init of the next session.
IMHO, using NSUSerDefaults settings and downloading a remote plist with the same keys and structure is most convenient file format for settings stuff.
Also, you may place the remote file in a web service, and have the client send that web service the request for the file accompanied with a "my last updated settings are of the date X" - the date of the latest settings you have locally. Then, the server may return a file, or an "you already have the latest file" response.
I want to know if this is doable and get some hints about how to achieve this.
I guess at least it would need a confirmation dialog to run the (possibly evil) macro.
I want to produce an OpenOffice document that will upload itself on save to a hardcoded URL.
Is it possible?
What are the rough steps to achieve this?
My guess is:
bind a macro to the save event
have that macro get the current file binary data
have it post this data to a URL
but before researching about how to do this I need to know if this can be done in the first place.
I don't believe you need a macro to do this, instead depending on your OS you can map a FTP or other type of protocol remotely.
For example in windows you can "Map" a FTP as a drive and this would do exactly the same thing as your describing, you open the file from the FTP and upon saving it will then be written to the remote server. FTP is just an example here, there are other platforms you can use.
If you are at all interested in this method then following the instructions below, otherwise disregard.
Mapping a Network Drive in Windows Vista and 7.
Click on Windows start orb and then click on "computer".
Click on map a network drive.
Map a network drive will then open a new dialog box where you can click "connect to a website"
Simply follow that easy to use wizard and click add a new network location (Choose a custom network location)
Type in your FTP address, including username and password.
Finally name your network location to whatever you want.
Just a suggestion, I really don't think you need any macro unless you plan on distributing these files to other people then yes, but they would need to install that macro/plugin on their open office since there is no way to encode the document itself with such features as far as I know.
I would like to know if in IIS manager, when I export an application, there is a way to save components selected so, when I export next time, to select them by default (like appHostConfig). Thank you.
Unfortunately that is not possible today, if you are constantly using it you should consider using the command line instead that will easily allow you to save those in an external file and run them as frequently as needed without having to specify everything again.
