Finally, I managed to build XPSDrv Sample project successfully . But still there is a problem .
I need to execute a function ( to start an exe file ) after the xps file has been sent to the printer (in my case to local port). So , where and how can I add the function ?
And regarding the filters , how would I know the sequence in which the filters executed .
I really need a help in this matter because I am a beginner in Windows Driver Development , specially in Printer Drivers ...
Any Idea is highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
Which filters are included, and the order in which they execute, is controlled by the PipelineConfig.xml.
I'm not sure that launching an external executable after the document has cleared the pipeline is a particularly good idea, but if you must do so, you will need to add that functionality to the last filter in the pipeline.

I am trying to develop my own GtkPrintBackend ,
taking help from here:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2006-December/msg00069.html
I want to test my print backend( by making the print dialog use my backend instead). How do I do that?
That is, how do I make the Print dialog use my backend instead?
Answering my own question here since I figured out a workaround:
I installed jhbuild and built the gtk+ module using jhbuild.
The source code of the corresponding module is downloaded in ~/jhbuild/checkout/<module-name> .
Modify the print backends under ~jhbuild/checkout/gtk+/gtk/modules/printbackends/ directory, and rebuild it (Find instructions to do that here).
Now when you launch a gtk application from the jhbuild shell, it will use the modified backend instead of the system default one.
I want to conditionally compile some blocks of code depending on type of client i'm running in. this is fine for batch and tty as i can use the {&BATCH-MODE} but how to test for when the code is being compiled in webspeed agent? eg. {&IF} not {&SOMETHING} EQ "YES" {&THEN}
{&ANALYSE-SUSPEND}
foo
bar
{&ANALYSE-RESUME}
{&ENDIF}
it would be helpful if this did not rely on defines auto generated by the architect in .w's etc but that would be a nice to have not essential.
Compile time isn't run time. If the program can be run different ways (as a part of a of webpage using webspeed, as a part of a batch and as a part of some other kind of client etc) you're most likely better of evaluating this in run time instead.
You can identify in what environment you're running:
SESSION:CLIENT-TYPE
This will identify your type of client.
DISPLAY SESSION:CLIENT-TYPE.
Type of client Attribute value
-------------------------------- -----------------------
ProVision standard ABL client 4GLCLIENT
WebClient WEBCLIENT
AppServer agent APPSERVER
WebSpeed agent WEBSPEED
Pacific Application Server agent MULTI-SESSION-AGENT
Other special-purpose clients Unknown value (?)
Documentation
Using VST
If you have at least one database connected
_Connect-ClientType tells you what kind of client this particular connection is:
Value Client
-------- ---------------------
ABL ABL client
SQLC SQL client
WTA Webspeed agent
APSV AppServer agent
SQFC SQL Federated client
Example:
FIND FIRST _myconnection NO-LOCK.
FIND FIRST _connect NO-LOCK WHERE _connect._connect-usr = _myconnection._MyConn-userid.
DISPLAY _connect._Connect-ClientType.
Based on OS
Perhaps you run different OS:es?
DISPLAY OPSYS.
Other ways
There's a number of other ways of doing this, including perhaps looking at PROPATH, Working directory etc.
Try to stick with a solution that won't change over the course of time because of Progress upgrades, new OS:es, new directory structures etc.
IMHO there is no such preprocessor variable out of the box.
But you could create your own include file and include that in the code that's relevant. You need two versions of that file, one says
&GLOBAL-DEFINE WebSpeed WebSpeed
and the other
&GLOBAL-DEFINE NoWebSpeed NoWebSpeed
And then configure your compile sessions so that they find exactly one of the files in propath.
But as you will agree, this is probably dangerous as the result will heavily rely on the proper PROPATH used during compilation. I'd rather attempt to use a runtime condition instead.
What are you trying to achieve in detail?
finally figured it out this morning {&webstream} and {&out} are not defined in in normal sessions so i can just test for that. runtime is not an issue in my case i just want to compile the code in all cases. in this shop dont ask me why but every single piece of code is session compiled. poor cpu but there u go. i could be defensive and add some logic with session:Client-type for bells and whistles you're right. if not can-do then boogie :)
I host a server and I was wondering: is there any way to run chat commands through ComputerCraft? I want to be able to run /tps through the ComputerCraft terminal and then have it print out the TPS. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
In the new Computercraft 1.7 there is a new type of computer, the Command Computer. It allows the user to run commands the same way as shell.run("mkdir", "foo"). It can only be obtained by ops, and can only directly be controlled (we are talking without using rednet and such) by ops
commands.exec(string command) -- Runs and outputs command output in chat.
commands.execAsync(string command) -- Quietly runs command without output.
Here is the wiki page:
Commands (API)
But if we are talking 1.6.4 (Which almost all modpacks use) there is no "stock" version of doing that.
Hope it helps /Tyrerexus
I believe that you can use this thing called the Chat Box.
http://ftbwiki.org/Chat_Box
It's not part of the default Computercraft, however. It is part of the Misc Peripherals mod I believe.
Hi I am new to the language of powershell s i though about playing around with it. I am trying to extract information out of a log file (the file belongs to a program called event viewer). I need to use the information under Boot Duration.
Could somebody guide me a little bit?
It will be greatly appreciated
Thanks.
Logs are always the same. Not sure if you are going to monitor boot log of windows or linux or what.. but will try to answer.
If you edit your question and add info on the operating system and an example of relevant lines of boot log file I can provide you with some powershell code.
In general you should do:
Identify how to manually see boot time in log file. For example
probably it will have a starting boot time and a finished boot time.
Something similar to this.
[2012-06-08 12:00:04] starting boot
lot of log entries
[2012-06-08 12:00:34] finished boot
Once you know how to do it manually, you have to convince powershell to do it for you. You can use regular expressions to look for the pattern of dates. In my example look for lines that contains "starting boot" and then parse it to load date.
Here you have an useful link on powershell and regular expressions: http://www.regular-expressions.info/powershell.html
I am able to get a shell registry type context menu function to work , see below . But is there a way to tell windows to send multiple files selected to the same application , perhaps instead of %1 or %L some other parameter . What happens now is that it launches the associated application for each file in the list .
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*\shell\sendtomyapp]
#="&Upload to (File*Pics)Mojo"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*\shell\sendtomyapp\command]
#="c:\Program Files\app_directory\App.exe -n \"%1\""
Is there a way to send an array of names like sys.args in python ?
My guess is to look into DDEExec instead of shell\open\command. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb165967(VS.80).aspx
Seems like a superuser.com question, but I think these kind of operations require a bit of code. e.g. you write a proxy program that accepts the files, and adds them to an execution queue or batch of another program (like adding several files to a media player) I don't know if what you are looking for is supported inherently in Windows
You will need a full shell extension DLL to do what you want to do here. So the answer is programming even if the question was not.
