First Question:
Is it possible to show the Users preview Pictures for every Feature?
If they go with the mouse on the Feature I want to have a description
and a preview Picture from the elements to install!
For example: for a Game different Modifications!
I can't find this function in the Installer and I think I have searched a lot!
And second question:
Is it possible to disable the "advanced Installer" inscription on every Installer side?
1) The standard MSI controls do not support this kind of user interaction. However, Advanced Installer does have an UI theme for the dialogs where you can use HTML and JS to render a custom UI for the end users. You could try use that.
2) Yes, but only if you have a license for the Enterprise or Architect edition. You can customize your dialogs in any way you desire, from Dialogs page.
The same license is also required to try to the solution from the first question.
With the trial version of Advanced Installer you can use any of these feature for 30 days, for free.

I'm planning to use list & label as a reporting tool for my MVC Web Application, I downloaded the trial version and the sample code was really helpful.
I'm almost settled on using this as my app's reporting tool but I'm thinking twice on their web app report designer tool, because I needed to install the chrome extension before I can use it.
I'm using version LL v.20
So my questions are:
Is the chrome extension really needed for the designer to work? I'm thinking that if my app goes live, will I require my clients to install this plugin first?
Will the designer have issues on other browser? So far I haven't seen extensions/plugins for IE (only Fireforx, Safari, Opera, Chrome).
PS. If all else fail, can you suggest an alternative for this? The reporting tool that I need is web-based and allows end-users to edit the reports. Thanks!
1) Yes, you need to install the plugin on the client side.
2) For IE, there's a Designer ActiveX. Simply open your existing app in IE, you should be offered to install the OCX right away.
As to your general concerns:
We plan to replace the plugins with a client-side application that can be one-time installed with a couple of clicks in LL21. The reasoning is the step-by-step deprecation of plugins by most browser vendors. Changing between the plugins and the new designer app will be quite easy. The new designer will also support previewing at design time. Depending on when you plan to ship your application it may well be worth the wait till October.
I have tried List and Label Web Designer and found that installing additional application for all users is not a good idea. Will look for another solutions, may be FastReport.Net. That online designer is realy online and can work not only on Windows.
I need to create a firefox plugin that allows a user to take screenshots of any part of their desktop and have them uploaded to a server. There seems to be lots of plugins for screen capturing a webpage, but nothing for capturing anything outside of firefox. So after a little research I have not found much information on how this might be possible. I don't want to resort to a using a java applet but I will if that is my only option.
Does anyone have advice on how I might create such a feature?
Thanks
I don't think a Firefox addon is the most appropriate approach here. Maybe split the task into a Firefox addon to offer the "upload to a server" component and a native app to do the desktop screenshot (or just integrate with existing screenshot tools).
If you're worried about complicating the installation process for end users, you could look into bundling the addon component and native app into a single installer (e.g. MSI on Windows, RPM on Linux, etc.). You'll have to come up with different apps for each platform you want to support (and maybe even each version - e.g. Windows XP vs Windows 10).
Whatever you decide, you'll probably need to create a more specific question to get further help here (there's no simple Firefox.Addons.API.TakeScreenShot() answer I'm afraid).
Also make sure you're using the right terminology - a plugin is the deprecated NPAPI approach whereas addons are still supported.
I'm actually working on taking native desktop screenshots just in the last coupel of days. I'm using js-ctypes. My work goal is the same exact thing to, upload to server. If you would like to collaborate I am very open to it! We can chat about it on #jsctypes irc channel :) irc://moznet/jsctypes (Mibbit IRC WebApp) If you don't know js-ctypes thats ok i can handle that while you can handle uploading techniques, and an editor on canvas :) The editor is a huge part of it, you can see my ideas/plans here: https://github.com/Noitidart/NativeShot/wiki/NativeShot
I'm really really interested in a collab on this!
I'm still working on windows right now, the color is messed up: https://github.com/Noitidart/NativeShot/tree/digitanks-method
I was just about to start OSX work following this example here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/SonOfGrab/Introduction/Intro.html and here: Take ScreenShot without Window
You can install the addon from that branch and click the icon that gets added to the toolbar, it will take a screenshot with 3sec delay and then append it to the body of the selected tab. (Windows only right now)

Got some quirks. Released it as v1.0 though. I'm working on Android support, pretty close. I need to flesh out the editor tools. Please let me know if you're willing to collaborate.
I'm using Advanced Installer to let users install my game and its associated prerequisites (DirectX, etc).
The game isn't supported on Windows XP- it requires DX10 and Vista+. What's the best way in the installer to let the user know that the game won't work if they try to install on XP?
Ideally the installer would allow me to put up a custom message of some kind.
You can go to Launch Conditions page and uncheck from the tree of OS-es all versions that you do not support. This will make the installer present a message to your users when they try to install it on XP.
You can customize this message only in the Enterprise edition, from the Table Editor page, in Launch Conditions table. But the default message is pretty well written, I don't think you'll need to customize it.
I'm interested in incorporating the jQuery Mobile Datetime text input capabilities into a hobby Rails app that I'm building. I do not need any of the other jQuery Mobile features.
What is the best way to go about this? Will it work if I include nothing but the jquery.mobile.forms.textinput.js file from github or are there other required jQuery Mobile files?
I know in the Release Notes for RC1 they had decoupled jQM and were working on a Download Builder
http://jquerymobile.com/blog/2011/09/29/jquery-mobile-1-0rc1-released/
Download builder: In the works
Now that we’ve decoupled most of the UI widgets, we’ve set the stage
for there to be a download builder. This will let you build a custom
version of jQuery Mobile to only include the parts you need. For
example, you could just use the core files to add Ajax-based
navigation with pushState and leverage some of the touch events and
other utilities with a very lightweight build (roughly 10k). Or, you
could add in specific UI widgets like form elements, listviews, etc.
to create an optimized build. We’re aiming to have a download builder
tool launch as part of 1.0 final in some form. We’re working on a
dependency map now for all the plugins to support this tool.
Not sure if this is release as of yet
As far as I know there is no widget for a date/time picker packaged with jQuery Mobile at the moment.
There are however several options out there (and I'm sure you can find more with some Google-time):
http://mobiscroll.com/ - I use this one on mobile websites
http://dev.jtsage.com/jQM-DateBox/ - Updated to work well with jQuery Mobile 1.0RC3, but note that it requires jQuery Mobile (see J.T.Sage's comment below).
I am new in blackberry. I want the name of the application on focus. That is, for a particular application, if it is focused in downloads folder then name of that application should be displayed. Is it possible in Blackberry?
Please share it.
Thank you.
In your project you will find a file called BlackBerry_App_Descriptor.xml
If you open that file in eclipse you will see it allows you to set 2 icons and tick one as rollover (in focus).
You could simply design the rollover icon so that it incorporates your applications name. Or maybe logo/initials as it's not very big.
I'm guessing you mean when your application icon is in focus, if you mean other peoples applications then the answer is no (or more specifically what Richard said).
This would only be possable if the application in question either provided an API for other applications to get this data, through a listener interface for example; or if it issued a global event.
