Using vb.net I download files using sftp then immediately set their attributes to normal.
File.SetAttributes(Downloadedfile, Attr)
where Attr is a FileAttribute. I later set the attributes to readonly
File.SetAttributes(Downloadedfile, FileAttributes.ReadOnly)
The problem I am having is that there appears to be a delay between the file being downloaded and the attributes being set by the OS(Win7). As a result the .normal attribute doesn't always get set but later the readonly attribute does. Is it possible to wait until the OS has finished whatever it is doing? I've looked around and seen various articles about changing the indexing and what the folder will be used to store but none of these suggestions has worked. Don't expect somebody to come up with "You need to this" but a pointer in the right direction would be a great help.

Relatively new to coding and have taken up lots of small projects to help learn the basics, and I have now set myself a challenge of a "bigger" one. Essentially I want to recreate the Message Box but with my own styling and customisable elements.
I have got the basics in a class and created it, however I want the class to have two options.
1) load all the details from an XML file for the message, I have done this and that works.
2) I want it to be like the standard message box where you can pass in parameters.
My question is, How can I achieve number 2.
I have tried adding details into the Show/Load subs but no luck, the only way around it I can see is with properties but that would take too long.
I want to be something like the below.
classname.show("message","tittle",icon,"buttons",imagefile,"caption")
However alot of my code is done in the load method as opposed to show, so it needs to be visible / accessible there.
Any help / advice would be appreciated.
Properties are definitely the way to go. It also makes sense: Conceptually, the message being shown is a property of the message box.
Your Show method would look like this:
Public Shared Show(message As String, title As String, ...)
Dim box as New MyMessageBoxWindow()
box.Message = message
box.Title = title
...
box.ShowDialog()
End Sub
In the Load method of MyMessageBoxWindow, you access these properties and configure the UI elements.
I need to write a function goToNthMethod(int n) to let the user jump to the nth method in the file being edited.
Ideas so far:
I imagine the ContentOutline reads its tree from some sort of IContentSource (made up) or something, if I can read from the same source, that would probably be cleaner. Does something like this exist?
Read the contents of the outline view, and maybe simulate a double click on one of the Outline view's entries. This is as far as I got before I realized I was in over my head:
IWorkbenchPage page = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage();
IViewPart part = page.findView("org.eclipse.ui.views.ContentOutline");
ContentOutline outline = (ContentOutline)part;
PageBook pageBook = outline.book; // Doesn't work, book is private
Tree root = pageBook.currentPage; // Doesn't work, currentPage is private
String label = root.getLabel(); // Nothing like getLabel exists
Read the entire IDocument's contents, parse the java source code within, get the offsets in the file, and feed that to the editor.selectAndReveal method. However, parsing the java source code within is a massive task, so this approach probably won't work.
Use outline.getCurrentPage(), which is a JavaOutlinePage, but I can't seem to import that class. I'm guessing I need to pull in the entire JDT project to do that. This approach also means I'm tied to a specific language, when I want my goToNthMethod to be language agnostic.
Any ideas on how I can jump to the nth method? Thanks!
Some context: I'm integrating Dragon NaturallySpeaking with eclipse to be able to program with my voice. It's working well so far, but one tedious part is navigating around the file, which would be made easier if I could say "go to 8th method". In fact, just "go to 8th entry" to just go to the 8th row in the outline view would be sufficient. Any other ideas appreciated!
I have a form that is supposed to create an entity of type Load, but for some reason, doesn't seem to be actually passing or seeing any of the data related to associations of the entity (load.user, load.client, etc). This all used to work fine but stopped working at some point during a bunch of refactoring (that didn't change any of the fields in any of the models). Now all of the forms in my website have broken the same way and I have no clue where to even look to start fixing it.
From the view, I submit the form for a new Load, printing out the data everywhere I can along the way. Printing out the data being sent to the server before it's sent shows all the data is there like it should be. Printing out Form.form(Load.class).bindFromRequest() in the controller shows the form's data contains everything needed, for example, the value user.id=1 is in the data. However, there is also a validation error saying that the user is missing. How can this be?
Form(of=class models.Load, data={ a bunch of stuff, user.id=1, a bunch more stuff}, value=None, errors={=[ValidationError(,Logged in user is missing or invalid.,[])]})
The validation error is being generated by public String validate() in the Load class, which is simply checking if(user==null) and returning that string if it is. I should note that every form that submits multiple entities (for example, submitting a Dock and then also the Dock's Location) only saves the main entity (in this example, the Dock) and ignores all others (the Dock's Location is never saved, even though Dock cascades in the model to also save the Location). All of our form fields are labelled correctly, this code did used to work at some point before it mysteriously stopped working!
So why did all of my forms suddenly stop correctly dealing with anything but the main model for the form? It is as if they cannot even "see" the data contained in bindFromRequest(). If I print out a variable in the validation method of Load, such as this.status, it prints the correct thing. But if I try to print something like this.user.id or this.client.id I get a null pointer error. Where is the code in Play that actually interprets the data (user.id=1) and turns it into the User associated with the Load, and how could it be breaking?
Edit: Also, yes, I did try "play clean", it was the first thing I tried since usually it fixes weird errors like these! But this time, no dice.
Edit2: I'm including the html from the form, in case it is helpful.
<input type="text" id="user_id" name="user.id" value="1" class="idfield">
Edit3: The only change I made during the refactoring that might have influenced this is that I had to make some setter methods like Load.setBroker() because the ones that are supposedly generated by Play didn't work. For example, load.broker=aBroker would not have set the Load's Broker before, so I had to make a public void setBroker(Broker broker) method in Load. Does Play use the auto-generated setters to bind the data? Could overwriting them cause problems?
Whoops, I figured it out. It was the setters I had written. Some of them were set to private purely by mistake, and apparently this was preventing Play from setting the values when binding the data. Changed them all to public and the mystery error vanished.
I defined a class called "FilterCriteria" which has a bunch of function .m files (getAMask, getBMask, etc.) associated with it. When I create the FilterCriteria object and call the functions using it, I don't have any problems. However, recently I added another function (which, on a side note, is almost identical to another function that still works), and Matlab returns the error, "No appropriate method, property, or field getHMask for class FilterCriteria."
I've searched online for this problem, but I can't find anything. The file getHMask.m is definitely in the correct folder, so I don't understand why Matlab seems to have such a problem finding it.
Here's getHMask.m's header:
function mask = getHMask(object, quadrant, channel)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
1) A mistake I make sometimes is not saving the file with the correct name. Make sure capital letters are in the right places etc!
2) Another layer of error checking here... You can call methods('object here') (see here) and make sure it lists the method (function) that you are trying to add to it. If it doesn't show up here you should check into the implementation of the method and make sure it's correctly being added to the class you're using for your object.
I had the same problem that's kind of suggested by Ben's bullet #2 and it was driving me crazy. Turns out MatLab wasn't loading the latest version of my class's m-file. I vaguely remembered it gave me a warning earlier about that, because there were old instances of the class in the workspace and to keep from invalidating them it said it wouldn't update the class until I cleared the workspace...
So if that's the problem, restarting MatLab will work, or you can just enter >> clear
Thanks to everyone in advance -
So I have been banging on this issue for quite a while now and have burned through all my options. My current approach to canceling css requests is with nsIRequest.cancel inside of nsIWebProgressListener.onStateChange. This works most of the time, except when things are a little laggy a few will slip through and jump out of the loadgroup before I can get to them. This is obviously a dirty solution.
I have read through the following links to try and get a better idea of how to disable css before a nsIRequest is created...no dice.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Document_Loading_-_From_Load_Start_to_Finding_a_Handler
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/The_life_of_an_HTML_HTTP_request
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Bird's_Eye_View_of_the_Mozilla_Framework
How do I disable css via presentation objects/interfaces? Is this possible? Inside of nsIDocShell there are a few attributes that kind of imply you can disable css via the browsers docshell - allowPlugins, allowJavascript, allowMetaRedirects, allowSubframes, allowImages.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Sam
The menu option that disables style sheets uses a function
setStyleDisabled(true)
so you probably can just call this function whenever new browser tab is created. Style sheets are still requested from server, but not applied. This function is not very sophisticated and doesn't mess with nsIRequest, source:
function setStyleDisabled(disabled) {
getMarkupDocumentViewer().authorStyleDisabled = disabled;
}
Digging in Web Developer Toolbar source code I have noticed that their "disable stylesheets" function loops trough all document.styleSheets and sets the disabled property to true, like:
/* if DOM content is loaded */
var sheets = document.styleSheets;
for(var i in sheets){ sheets[i].disabled = true; }
So if the key is to not apply CSS to pages, one of the above solutions should work. But if you really need to stop style sheets from being downloaded from servers, I'm affraid nsIRequest interception is your only option.
Set permissions.default.stylesheet to 2 and voilà!
You can actually use the permissions manager to block or allow stylesheets on a host-by-host basis.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a simple flag like allowImages. The bugzilla adding for that is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340746. You can now vote for it using the new bugzilla voting functionality. You can also add yourself to the CC list to be notified if anyone ever works on it.
A related request is to just give us basic HTML parsing support, which may be what you are trying to do. Unfortunately that isn't supported yet either, but you can vote/track the bugzilla for that at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102699.
So the only workable solution seems to be some sort of interception as #pawal suggests. Here is a link that talks about the basics of interception to at least get you/us started https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XUL_School/Intercepting_Page_Loads. It lists several options that I list below.
These first few seem to just be at the page/document level so I don't think they help:
Load Events (addEventListener load)
Web Progress Listeners (nsIWebProgressListener) - I tried this approach, it only seems to be called for the page itself, not for content within the page.
Document Loader Service - A global version of nsIWebProgressListener so I think it has the same problem (page level only)
That leaves two others I have not tried yet. They work globally so you would need to filter them to just the browser/pages you care about.
HTTP Observers - Seems like it might work, need to verify it calls back for CSS
Content Policy - Seems like the best option to me since it explicitly is called for CSS, someday I hope to try it :)
