I want to programmatically retrieve the value of the word wrap setting for GEdit3 from inside a Python plugin.
The GtkSettings class provides a method to set a string property, but how does one retrieve the value of a string property? I see no "getter" method.
I have also consulted pydoc gi.repository.Gtk.Settings - the methods listed there are the same as the online docs.
I am able to retrieve the property value of interest with the gsettings CLI utility. The command gsettings get org.gnome.gedit.preferences.editor wrap-mode
yields the value 'word'. I was hoping not to have to use subprocess.Popen() just to retrieve this property, however.
This will work
from gi.repository import Gio
a = Gio.Settings('org.gnome.gedit.preferences.editor')
a.get_string('wrap-mode')
Since you're using automatic generated bindings, C code samples will work just fine for you, it is just about changing the syntax.

I have a required custom field on any ticket created (Bug, Tasks, PBI).
I have a pipeline that creates tickets automatically, but the values that are used to create these tickets doesn't have a value for my custom field. I want to set this custom field by adding an entry to the pipeline variables, but I don't know the variable name of the custom field.
How can I find the variable name of the custom field so I can access it?
I found out how to determine your custom variable name.
ADO has a bunch of APIs. The following will give you all the details of a specific work type. For my case I needed the "bug" work type.
/*
Api to display work type fields in JSON format
Replace {} with correct values
*/
https://dev.azure.com/{orginization}/{project}/_apis/wit/workitemtypes/{type}/fields?api-version=6.0
The resulting JSON will give you a whole list of variables. Here is what the System Variable and a Custom Variable look like.
The referenceName is the variable name you would use in your scripts, etc.
TL;DR -
Take your field name and remove all spacing and then put Custom. in front of it.

In my current project in Access VBA, I created a window which works like a console and now I am trying to add a possibility to display any public variable. It should work like:
Show_var [variable_name]
So it should be like in the direct window where i can type:
? pVar.variable_A
I found out that using
Application.VBE.ActiveVBProject.VBComponents(11).CodeModule.CountOfLines
I can display the number of lines within a module or form so I thought perhaps I could somehow find the variables there, cycle through them and when the correct one is found, its value can be shown. OFC I could make a Select Case Statement where all variables are included but that is not the way I want to do it because it is complicated and must be changed every time update my public variable list.
There are so many problems that I think you are out of luck. Let me just list some of them:
There is no way to get a list of all variables - that would mean you would need access to the internal symbol table.
As a consequence, you would have to read the code (CodeModule lets you read the code of a module), and write an own parser to fetch all declarations (hopefully you use Option Explicit)
AFAIK, the is no method that can access the content of a variable via it's name.
Even if there would be any such method: What would you do with different data types, arrays and especially with objects.
If a user runs into problems, often it is a runtime error. If you don't handle that errors with some kind of error handler, the only option if a user cannot enter the debugger is to press "End" - which would destroy the content of all variables.
You have to deal with scope of variables, you can have several variables with the same name and you will likely have lots of variables that are out of scope in the moment you want to dump them.
I want to ask is it possible to have database properties outside of any property file now I have database properties inside dbconfig.properties but I want to have it be supplied from outside passing as an argument for example.
Is there any suggestion to have this approach.
I would follow the documentation:
24.2 Accessing command line properties:
By default SpringApplication will convert any command line option
arguments (starting with ‘--’, e.g. --server.port=9000) to a property
and add it to the Spring Environment. As mentioned above, command line
properties always take precedence over other property sources.
I'm using the MSOfficeDemo/MSWord classes as a starter.
How can I print a document that is open in Word?
In a new method in the MSWord.java class I've tried:
this.invokeNoReply("Print", this.getDocuments());
this.invokeNoReply("PrintOut", this.getDocuments());
this.invokeNoReply("FilePrint", this.getDocuments());
I get an Unknown Name (hr=-2147352570) error for each of the above calls.
I've been searching for a week now and haven't found a solution.
Rather than guessing, you need to match your method signature to the documentation.
You need to actually print the active document (this.getActiveDocument()) rather than the collection of documents. Then refer to the Document methods to see which method (and arguments) to use, in this case PrintOut is the correct method.
What you pass for the parameters, you need to look at the various method signatures in ComLateBindingObject and pick the one that best matches your needs (you can pass one or two arguments, more than that you need an array.
This code should work... haven't tested it (don't have MSWord on my Windows VM) but combined with the links above it should get you in the right direction:
this.invokeNoReply("PrintOut", getActiveDocument());
If that doesn't work, try:
this.invokeNoReply("PrintOut", getActiveDocument().getIDispatch());
If you actually need to pass any of the parameters, you'll create a VARIANT for them and start filling in 1 or more of the parameters (or an array of them).
Is there anyway to specify more than one MergeSection value for the MSBuild LINK task? (The MergeSection param is the same as the /merge param for link.exe)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee862471.aspx
When calling link.exe you can specify more than one /merge value, but that doesn't seem possible with the MergeSection parameter.
So far the only way I can see to make this work is by using the AddtionalOptions param, but I'm hoping there's a better way to implement this parameter.
Thanks
I think you may have to use AdditionalOptions.
In the Link task the MergeSections property is a string value, not an array, so you can only set one string. Link.exe does not seem to allow you to pass multiple pairs in one command line parameter, you must specify a separate MERGE command line parameter for each pair. The Visual Studio property page only allows a single string for the MergeSections property.
