parse text file

bertelu — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 07:05:16 GMT

hi folks, could you help me in solving my problem?
i have a text file like this:
Server1, 192.168.2.1
Server2, 192.168.2.2

i would like to parse the text file, using colum 1 (the server name) to make visible or not a button (if Server1 line exist, "server1" button will be visible) then using the column 2 as a parameter to run a shell command (i.e: if Server1 line exist modify the "onclick" properties and set command as "mstsc -v "column2")
it is possible?
thanks for any advise

Hard coded paths for include files

rxrxr — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:59:29 GMT

I have not been able to find more information on a problem I'm having and would appreciate some guidance.

I include a custom icon and a LUA include script in the project, but I find that when changing the paths for these (for example from c:\here\icon.ico to c:\there\icon.ico), the EXE needs to update itself on the client machine when I publish and distribute the files. So a few questions:

Is there any way to get around using hard-coded paths in the project?
Can environment variables be used or Session Variables? I can use these other places like the output log path, but it doesn't seem to work for include files.
If this is possible, will the EXE still need to update itself? If so, why is that?
Are there any other workarounds to avoid the EXE needing to update itself (right now I am just recreating the hard-coded paths, but this is not an optimal solution)?

I'm using TrueUpdate version 3.5.4.1. If anyone has any feedback, I would greatly appreciate it.

RE: Primer Files and the Used By Uninstall and Delete on Exit checkboxes

DDoutelMS — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 14:26:16 GMT

Hey folks,

We have a DLL primer file used at both Install and Uninstall time. It works fine at Install, and is set as "Used by Uninstall" and "Do not delete on exit". After install, I find the DLL in the Uninstall folder under %AppFolder%. At Uninstall, I'm getting an error 2400 ("Failed to load the specified DLL."). What do I have to do to make this DLL available at Uninstall time?

Thanks in advance,
DDoutelMS

SQLite Help

jakabo — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 13:23:45 GMT

Hello guys,

What am I doing wrong with my code ?
I am trying to delete selected grid row from db, it deletes but not refreshing the grid I can only see it is deleted if I rerun the software ;

Code:

function FindSelectedGrid(strGrid)

tblSelect ={};

nRows = Grid.GetRowCount(strGrid)-1;

nColumns = Grid.GetColumnCount(strGrid)-1;

                local x= 0;

                while (x<(nRows)) do 

                        x = x+1;

                         for count = 1,nColumns do

                                if (Grid.IsCellSelected(strGrid, x, count))== true then

                  

                                 tblSelect.Row = x;

                                end

                        end

                end

                local n = 0;

                while (n
            n = n+1;

 return tblSelect 



end        



selected = FindSelectedGrid("Grid1")

if selected ~= nil then

result = Grid.GetCellText("Grid1", selected.Row, 8);

SQLite3Cursor, err = SQLite3Connection:execute("delete from devices where id="..result.."");

Dialog.Message("Succes", "Record deleted." , MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);

        a = a+1; 

end





Grid.Refresh("Grid1");

else

Update Details of TrueUpdate Server at Runtime

centsoft — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:42:17 GMT

Hi,

At run time I would like to be able to dynamically update FOLDER URL, TIMEOUT, PORT depending on selections made in the CLIENT SCRIPT area.

I can do this for FOLDER URL by entering a variable such as %HTTPG_URL% and that works perfectly at runtime by updating the variable as required.

But when I try and add a variable for TIMEOUT or PORT it tells me that I need to enter an integer.

Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers
David

LuaHPDF + libHaru

Ulrich — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 19:04:55 GMT

libHaru is a free, cross platform, open source library for generating PDF files, and LuaHPDF is a module that lets you programmatically create PDF files via Lua using this library.

LuaHPDF was developed by Kurt Jung as an interface to the Haru PDF Library. I have built libHaru 2.2.0.0, with zlib 1.2.8 and libpng 1.6.2, and finally compiled the LuaHPDF 1.3.0 module.

A sample project features 16 different example routines, each showing different capabilities of the libHaru PDF library.

DLL Parameter Types and parameter passing

DDoutelMS — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 17:02:30 GMT

Hey guys,

I've written external C++ DLL's successfully for SetupFactory to call in the past. That said, I'm having some problems passing numeric values, as OutputDebugString() is telling me. I need to pass a bunch of strings (which are working fine), an int and 3 DWORDS. The int and DWORDS are simply showing up blank and then the setup crashes. Is there a "recommended" type for numeric values being passed from SetupFactory to a function in an external DLL?

Thanks in advance!

Using C Source File in AMS

Jrb1x — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 19:39:54 GMT

Hello again everyone,

I'm trying to work with a C Source file (hpdf.c), but I'm unsure of how to operate with it. The examples I've seen show to use the "require" function and you can start using it, but I get an error when trying to call it in "require":

Sample:

Quote:

require "hpdf"
local pdf = hpdf.New()
if pdf then
local page = hpdf.AddPage(pdf)
local height = hpdf.Page_GetHeight(page)
local width = hpdf.Page_GetWidth(page)
local font = hpdf.GetFont(pdf, "Helvetica")
hpdf.Page_SetFontAndSize(page, font, 24)
hpdf.Page_BeginText(page)
hpdf.Page_TextOut(page, 60, height - 60, "Hello from Haru")
hpdf.Page_EndText(page)
hpdf.SaveToFile(pdf, "hello.pdf")
hpdf.Free(pdf)
else
io.write("Error creating PDF object\n")
end

Error:

The C Source file is called "hpdf.c" - What am I doing wrong here?

SetFolderPermissions

EvRenesse — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 15:54:05 GMT

Hi,

I need to set folder permissions for a folder created during a patch process. In the Setup Factory there is a function SetPermissions, but this function is missing in Visual Patch.

How can I set folder permissions in a Visual Patch action?

Thanks for any help or instruction.

Fpdf Image Errors

Jrb1x — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 18:13:30 GMT

Hello everyone,

I've been playing around with the Fpdf library lately. All of the functionality seems to work just fine, but when I try to add an image of any kind, it throws an error.

PNG Error:

The code I'm using is simple & follows the official API:

Code:

local pdf = luaFPDF:new()

pdf:AddPage();

pdf:SetFont('Arial','',8);

pdf:Image('C:\\13.png',10,6,30);

Has anyone else experienced this with Fpdf?

Comment lines/files

Domi — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 14:14:45 GMT

Hi,

it could be fine, in the main screen (Archive), to have buttons to comment a file or more; something, it's interesting, during the development, to suspend the installation of files; now, we are obliged to remove them and to re-create them if needed

thanks if you can take care of this request
sincerely,
Domi.

Move up/down lines

Domi — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 13:56:00 GMT

Hi,

it could be fine, in the main screen (Archive), to have buttons to move up/down lines to re-organize (or group) them; I'm always obliged to edit .suf file.

thanks if you can take care of this request
sincerely,
Domi.
