Our company is working with a great Business Intelligence tool CorVu 4.2 to analyse the operational and strategic data. Since several years we are successfully working with Sharepoint 2007 to collaborate and share information with colleagues. Most of my colleagues are working with Internet Explorer 7, but step by step Internet Explorer 8 is implemented in the company.
We share a lot of CorVu files thought Sharepoint, but since we are using Internet Explorer 8, we have a problem that is new for us. If we click on a CorVu file in Internet Explorer 8 (not necessarily in Sharepoint) a pop-up shows how to open the file, if we save the file, there is no problem. But if we open the file, the file is shown in the browser and not in the CorVu client! See the screenshot below:

(I removed some unnecessary information)
So far my colleagues accept this 'feature' in Internet Explorer 8. But I we open and closes more CorVu files, multiple errors (more than 10) show up starting with:
(unable to place more hyperlinks)
By pressing Enter the errors disappear, but it's not professional! I contacted the creators of CorVu, but they don't have a solution for in their client. There may be a solution in Internet Explorer 8?
The extensions of a CorVu file can be a .sqy, .tab or .qrp. But is it possible to force the files to open in the standard client instead of the browser?
Check your Add-Ons and see if you can disable the one that is displaying that content.
Tools -> Internet Options -> Programs -> Manage Add-ons
Your screenshot appears to be Excel. You should be able to tweak Excel to remove the in-browser viewer.
Microsoft discusses how to configure the Office-in-browser viewers. There are methods for older computers as well.
If the browser is actually showing the CorVu program, then the CorVu program must have a plugin into IE when it was installed. Try uninstalling IE and reinstalling it without touching CorVu. That should purge all the custom stuff that CorVu did.

For work, I'm trying to read an epub file I generated from RoboHelp 2017. I installed the kobo reader from the Windows app store to test it.
I need to know where the Kobo eBooks desktop app is installed so that I can associate the app with the epub format. But I can't figure it out. Typically, I just right-click on a short-cut in Windows 10 from the start menu and choose Open File location, but that isn't shown as an option for some reason.
I've searched online, and while I'm certain I'm not the the only one who has asked this question, I don't see any results on the installation location..
For example, Kobo's documentation website here...
https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020121953-Install-Kobo-Desktop-on-your-PC-or-Mac
... just gives instructions on how to install, but there's no installation location.
I also looked in my program files and x86 variety of the same, but didn't see any readily visible folders there.
Can someone give the pathway to the default installation location for this app from the Windows app store?
While writing up my question and researching it, I found the answer to my questions.
The short answer is that by default, you cannot open Windows apps folders. They are protected folders and you have to jump through some hoops to make them available in File Explorer. This site gives instructions:
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/windows-8-metro-apps-folder-location
I ended up not following these instructions, as I found out how to load the epub file into kobo by using the Kobo app:
Launch the Kobo eBooks app.
Note on the app, at the bottom, there's a toolbar.
Click the icon that looks like a left-pointing arrow. This shows an Open dialog box.
Use the Open dialog box to locate and open your .epub file.
After a few minutes, the e-book appears in the Kobo app, and you can access and read the book.
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 had my RadStudio setup all working and have created a very simple mobile app for android that uses IBLite to grab some data. For business reasons I had to leave the project and move on to other things. So I come back to Radstudio thinking I can just pick up where I left off.
I notice there is an update for the product so I apply the changes and then open up my previous project. From there things get very strange. I can build and deploy to android and the project still works. If I deploy to IOS simulator again no problem and everything works fine. As soon as I try to deploy to a device I get the following compiler error:-
[DCC Error] E2597 ld: library not found for -libtogo
(This is an outstanding question on Embarcadero Developer Forum)
Which looks to me like a problem with the licence file. So I try to manually add it to the deployment but still get the error. So I decided to park my project and go back to the IOS IBLite tutorial from the Embarcadero website. I get to the stage where I want to drop an sqlconnection to the form and connect to the database... No joy it comes up with unavailable database which I thought might be a licensing issue or the fact the IB Server was not running. So I double checked the latter and sure enough it is running as a windows service and I can use IBConsole to connect to it.
So I drop trying to create a mobile application and try to create a desktop app that connects to the dbdemos database. No luck, the ide still states unavailable database...
So to my question?
How do I get radstudio to pick up the license for Interbase and particulary IBLIte for IOS?
I have searched online and on the EDF and have been unable to find a solution.
Take a look to this link.
IBREDISTDIR environment variable should be properly configurated with the directory containing library folders and licenses.
RAD Studio links statically libibtogo.a probably this file is missing. This file usually is into ($BDS)/lib/iosDevice/debug path
I am using BlackBerry SDK 5.0.0.36 on eclipse
whenever i am doing any changes i need to restart the simulator
i want to run simulator only once and dont wanna restart it again n again for little changes
i refer to this thread in stackoverflow.com -> "View changes without restarting Blackberry simulator?"
i follow the given procedure in above thread but still my simulator not making it
i also tried it in BlackBerry SDK 6.0 and 7.1 . . .but i am still fighting with same problem
As Mister Smith says, this functionality is not highly reliable. Sometimes it works, and sometimes not.
However, one fixable problem that I encounter somewhat often is that permissions on the JDE plugin folders get restricted so that the BlackBerry simulator cannot write out the proper files to perform hot swapping.
I can often fix this in Windows explorer by going to the root folder for Eclipse (you could probably just go to the JDE plugin folder, if you're concerned about opening up permissions too much). In Windows Explorer, right-click and select Properties. I then uncheck the Read-only checkbox. Then, use the Security tab and make sure that your user account has Full control for that directory, and all of its subdirectories.
I will usually also just transfer ownership of the entire Eclipse directory tree to my user account (e.g. HOSTNAME\username). Do that with the Advanced button on the Security tab.
Also, have a look at this question/answer and this BlackBerry support forum thread on the topic of hot swap file permissions
