I would like to use a program that can capture phone-call data from the modem on a pc and run a batch file so I can request a url from a browser with the params set to the phone number.
I did this a while back with a very nice and cheap($30) piece of software for windows but cannot find or remember what it was called for the life of me.
Does anyone know of such a program?
Found it

You can run a batch file when someone calls you and use the call data as parameters.
I open firefox and request a url with params, which is hosted on my lan.

I would like to find a way to have a Windows computer share a virtual PDF printer with other local computers (that first part is easy!). However, I would like the PDF to be saved on the print server and not on the computer from which the print out is initiated. Any idea how to do that?
This is going to depend on your skill at resolving other driver problems.
I was able after several false starts to get a 32bit Win 7 peer user (admin) to print on My Win 10 restricted user Virtual printer. But the output result is not great so would need to dig deeper, than I need, just to find out why.
I used a GhostScript Virtual Printer since It allows remote users on network to download its drivers for ARM x64 and x32
It is hosted on a 64bit Win 10 restricted account so I had to jump through hoops to get it seen and accessible on the network, and then had to dig into it share settings to see 32bit/Arm clients need an extra check box on.
It took some challenges to get the 32bit client to see printer was available but it ran from there with the above test page output in the 64bit printme folder, Whilst monitoring that file visually real-time a print from the client was transmitted and instantly appeared on the host screen without noticeable corruption unlike the test print!!.
So an issue you could have is how to stop clients from overwriting the file whilst they are post processed (renamed like in a port redirection monitor) since my GS virtual printer uses a single named NoPromptPort.pdf
Your question should in effect be answered, However My Question is why go this route? It would be so much simpler efficient and reliable for each client to MSPrint to NoPromptPort.PDF then simply copy their renamed.PDF to a server folder.
Is it possible to always open a new instance of QuickBooks when making a call to a specific company file using the desktop SDK?
I am trying to use a server that is shared by many people to interact with QuickBooks, so it typically has a number of qb32 processes open. When I make a connection using that server, it tries to use one of those to process the request (which I don't want).
Best case is that my SDK request opens a new primary QuickBooks instance in a specific user session on the server, or that it opens it in no user session, so that it can run like a windows service.
Thanks!
No you can't able to open company file without quick books instant (QB32.exe) installed in local machine. and also we cant able to open two instance on different company file at a time in same machine.
Let's say i have a list of files. When I click on one it will get downloaded and saved into the app's isostore. Then it's opened in the default viewer/editor on the windows phone like this:
Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchFileAsync(file);
But when I make some changes to the file and want to save it, it can't, because it's a read-only copy of the file. Is there some way to get write-access to the file or else some public/shared (iso)store that every app has access to? The goal is to download the file, edit it and upload it back to the server.
Per the Windows Phone documentation, the Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchFileAsync API is not implemented for the Windows Phone platform:
Windows Phone 8: This API is not implemented and will throw an
exception if called.
In regards to saving the file so that it can be accessed by other applications, this is not possible, unless the file you are dealing with is a photo, in which case you could use the Media Library API.
Here's what I want to be able to do:
Run a program on my local computer which logs in to a citrix server (using citrix receiver or doing so in a similar way), on the server in the citrix session open a web browser, load a website, and then bring the html of that site back out of the citrix session and onto my local computer. Bascially I want to get data out of a citrix remote session.
How can I do this programmatically?
I'm fine with whatever programming language/modality you are comfortable in answering the question using.
I've looked a little into the citrix apis but while I find some things about logging in and even sending keystrokes and mouse clicks I found nothing about obtaining data. I could just log in and then use a program like wireshark to get the information, but I'm guessing it's all encrypted (plus then I wouldn't be doing my task all programmatically). I know of at least one open source program which seems to be able to replace a citrix reciever/client (openthinclient.org) but before I got digging through all its source code to try to answer my question I thought I'd ask here in case someone had an easier answer.
If all you want is to automate the task, is having the program act as a citrix client necessary?
I assume you don't have install privileges inside your citrix session, so are unable to install one of the many automation tools available (such as http://docs.seleniumhq.org/)?
Given the above...
If you have/allow java on your local machine, have a look at http://www.sikuli.org/
The main difference between this and other automation tools I've come across is that Sikuli uses the image on screen to navigate the gui, rather than grabbing calls to the widgets (which wont work in a citrix session).
So, assuming you can take a screenshot of your citrix session, it could be useful to you.
I'm working with a Windows Phone 8 application that writes logs to a file on the device. Is there a way to get access to that file? If not, what are my alternatives to seeing log information outside of using Visual Studio?
Yes you can read the file from isolated storage as long as it's a developer app installed on a developer unlocked phone. I use the Windows Phone Power Tools to do this, and there is a command line tool that comes with the SDK itself as well called IseTool.exe.
For your own access you can just use the advice in Paul's answer. If you want to get the files from other users you can use the Email Task and attach the log file to the email and have it sent to you or use some form of server logging.
