I transported an xpage from 9.00 server and extlib to an 9.01
rebuild it etc, and now got a few oddies:
amongst others, my fileupload control creates 2 instead of 1 file attachment from a selected file (e.g. filename.txt plus filename-2.txt)
The control's code:
<xp:fileUpload
id="fileUpload4" value="#{fback.SolutionAtt}">
<xp:eventHandler
event="onchange" submit="true" refreshMode="partial"
refreshId="tdUpload4" disableValidators="true">
<xp:this.action><![CDATA[#{javascript:viewScope.HasUpload = "2"}]]>
</xp:this.action>
</xp:eventHandler>
</xp:fileUpload>
Same issue on a XPage with multiple fileupload controls (each bounded to different field). For one file everything was OK, two entered files were saved as 4 files (both were duplicated), three files were saved as 9 (3 files for each) and so on.
Solution: Embed each fileupload along with it's related filedownload control in a panel and set partial update in onchange event of the fileupload control.
I believe File upload using partial refreshed was introduced in 9.0.1.
maybe you have some code on your page that did not work before that started working with 9.0.1
Thomas, yes, that might be the reason.
I did a refresh of a certain table cell with an "upload" button (which did nothing else than another partial refresh and showed the file in an download control).
I now reinserted the upload control to my page and can trigger a direct refresh in the onchange event of the upload control. So as soon as the user chooses a file via the upload control, it is shown in the download control, and - that's the difference! - the upload is empty again.
Thx, Uwe

We have been using PDF file as a part of help docs in our vb.net desktop application. In PDF, we would traverse to the certain chapter in the PDF doc.
Now we have decided to use MadCap Flare as documentation tool. We have a menu item in vb.net form for documentation. On click of the link, we want to open the specific chapter of the Flare documentation.
You know managing content with single-source XML authoring is possible when using MapCad Flare (I'm not using Flare!). You can publish content to an increasing number of formats including HTML5, WebHelp, PDF, Word, XHTML, Clean XHTML, EPUB, DITA and more by MapCad Flare.
So, you may continue using PDF and the way connecting your vb.net desktop application help.
Using HTML based topics maybe another solution for your needs by creating Help for a form, a dialog or control with HTML files (See also: Help for controls with VB .NET).
Properties to display help (HTML file - local)
Activate the hlpProvider component hlpHtmlLocal and set the HelpNameSpace property of hlpHtmlLocal to the file name you want to work with.
We open a local HTML file with the dialog using the little button to the right.
The next step is to set the HelpNavigator property of a control (e.g. button) to a value of the HelpNavigator enumeration (see table below). Here we use Topic.
When the application is running click the HelpButton to enable "What's this .." Help. The cursor changes. Now click the button or press F1 when the button has focus. This will open the single HTML file in your browser.
It seems you can't use anchor names to jump to a specific part of your HTML file.
Properties to display help (HTML file - Server http://..)
Activate the hlpProvider component and set the HelpNameSpace property of hlpHtmlServer to the file name you want to work with. Here we use a http:// address of a single HTML file. If you provide the file on your company server, you don't have to update the help file with the customer.
The next step is to set the HelpNavigator property of a control (e.g. button) to a value of the HelpNavigator enumaration (see table below). Here we use Topic. Then we set the HelpKeyword on hlpHtmlSever property to e.g. "anchor3". Don't add a leading "#". Leave it empty if you want to open a HTML file without anchors. The Help Handles cmdControl2.Click Dim sHelpFile As String Dim sStartupPath As String '--- Initialize context-sensitive help --- Keyword property provides the key information to retrieve the help associated with the control.
When the application is running click the HelpButton to enable "What's this .." Help. The cursor changes. Now click the button or press F1 when the button has focus. This will open the single HTML file over the Internet in your browser.
I am working on creating multiple documents from source document.
I am using:
objWordApp.Documents.Open("D:\Template\Aptletter.doc")
I modify the above document and save in another folder.
While creating documents, word files are opening and closing multiple times. So user unable to do another work on the same PC.
How to stop open file or Is there any method to modify document without above method?
So please suggest
Thanks in Advance

The visibility of a word document being controlled via interop can be set using the WordApplication.Visible attribute.
This attribute is, as you can see, at the Application level. If you've already opened a document using that WordApplication, you can't suddenly make the application invisible using the attribute.
What you can do, though, is create another instance of WordApplication. Call it InvisibleWordApplication for clarity, and set InvisibleWordApplication.Visible = false right from the start. Then open your document using that application, and you should be set.
I have a page with a viewPanel and a dialog. When an item in the viewPanel is clicked, the dialog opens, prompting the user to make changes to that item, and offering them the option to generate a report of the item in PDF format.
At first, I tried putting the PDF creation onto a button, as described here: http://www.eknori.de/2011-10-25/xpages-to-pdf-with-itext/ However, whenever the button is pressed, I get a "NotFoundError: DOM Exception 8" which seems to stem from the dojo JS. So currently I have an alternative whereby the button simply sets some sessionScope variables and opens a pdf.xsp XPage, where the variables are read back and the PDF is created.
The PDF gets created correctly, but it also means that the page that the user is on won't be refreshed to display their new change in the viewPanel. I've tried adding page redirects at the bottom of the XPage which creates the PDF, but with no luck.
So, how can I create a PDF and prompt a user to download it, but also refresh the page that they are currently on?
Are you isseuing an partial refresh on the button to hide your dialog and to execute the code for pdf generation? If so you I think that there is your problem. What you could do is to do a partial refresh on the onClose() method of the dialog to refresh the viewpanel. In the clientside onunload method you could open a so called xAgent which renders the pdf for you in a new window (window.open(pdf.xsp?docid=xxx). Take a look here: NotesIn9: 039 Creating PDF’s with XPages Part 2
Of cours the problem with this approach is that when you have a button / image in yoru viewpanel row that displays if the report has been created is not shown because the xagent runs after the / during the time the viewpanel row is being refreshed.
I want to have a webpart working when a file is open. I saw that text files are open in a blank page, but Excel files are open within a SharePoint page, in which I cannot edit/see a web part zone.
So, I was wondering if it's possible to add a webpart in that view, so I can execute some actions when a file is open.
Thanks in advance!
The page opened is XLViewer.aspx from the layouts directory. It is bad practice to edit out of the box files so I would copy the file into a custom directory and then add a web part zone to it. I would then use jquery to change the onclick event of the Excel file links to point to your custom page.
Alternatively, XLViewer.aspx uses minimal.master as its master page, so you could add your web part to minimal.master in SharePoint Designer. I would then code the web part to be dormant unless the page is XLViewer.aspx.
I am trying to do a file upload from gwt-ext without bringing up the dialog box. To do this, I created a FormPanel and added the appropriate fields to it. Then did a form.submit(). This doesn't seem to work. Any idea why? The code is shown below.
final FormPanel uploadForm = new FormPanel();
uploadForm.setVisible(false);
uploadForm.setFileUpload(true);
final TextField sourceFile = new TextField("File", "sourceFile");
sourceFile.setVisible(false);
sourceFile.setInputType("file");
sourceFile.setValue("/tmp/test.txt");
final TextField targetFile = new TextField("Upload As", "targetFile");
targetFile.setVisible(false);
targetFile.setValue("different.txt");
uploadForm.add(sourceFile);
uploadForm.add(targetFile);
final String url = GWT.getModuleBaseURL() + "/uploadFile";
uploadForm.getForm().submit(url, null, Connection.POST, null, false);
I tested the servlet on the server side with a simple html form and it works correctly. Only the GWT-EXT version doesn't seem to work.
I found out why the above piece of code is not working. The primary issue here is that file uploads are blocked by the browser due to security reasons if the upload form has not been rendered and/or if the form has been modified after the user clicks the submit button. If the browser did allow such things, then any file on the system can be easily uploaded without the user's knowledge.
Solution to to the above problem is to bring up the dialog box, do the upload in the event handler for the submit button and in the onActionComplete method of the form listener, do any other processing.
The whole idea of uploading without dialog box looks like a security breach to me. I can imagine an application that steals passwords file whenever opened, if only the above would be possible.
