Close method not working in Office - winforms

Im trying to use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word._Document.Close() in a .net 3.5 windows form app.
No matter how much I search here and on Google I cannot find the correct parameters to put in the Close method.
I am using version 14.0.0.0 of Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word and I would like to close the document without saving and ideally ensure that the application can isolate the document thread so that users can still open word documents outside the running application.

See the Close method of the Document class described in MSDN. If you need to omit the parameter and use the default value - pass the Type.Missing parameter.

Try this:
object doNotSaveChanges = Word.WdSaveOptions.wdDoNotSaveChanges;
object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
_Document.Close(ref doNotSaveChanges, ref missing, ref missing);
This is the source
I'm not sure if you'll need the middle line or not. It's not from the original source it's from here

Check whether file has read only flag in UWP

I am working on an UWP text editor. I have added desktop extension to it to modify system files and other read only files. The problem I have is there is no reliable way to detect if a file has read-only attribute. FileInfo.IsReadOnly doesn't work and StorageFile.Attributes has FileAttributes.ReadOnly when file is dragged and dropped from file explorer.
How do I reliably check whether the file has read only flag or not?
While there is no way to detect the readonly attribute by using dotnet methods, however GetFileAttributesExFromApp can be used to get a lot of attributes(readonly, hidden etc.) of the file that aren't available via StorageFile api. Also, SetFileAttributesFromApp can be used to change/remove these attributes.
Edit
After some research and deep dive in MSDN, I came to know about RetrievePropertiesAsync(IEnumerable<String>) and
SavePropertiesAsync(IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<String,Object>>) methods for Windows.Storage.FileProperties.StorageItemContentProperties which can be used to get and set properties by name (Full list of properties names), the name System.FileAttributes can be used to get file attributes and can be used to detect if read-only flag is present. While retrieving properties always works modifying properties will only work if app has write access to file (Windows.Storage.StorageFile.Attributes doesn't contain ReadOnly flag), although SetFileAttributesFromApp works for that scenario but limitation of SetFileAttributesFromApp is it won't work for sensitive file types (.bat, .cmd etc.). So both those methods could be used combined to have maximum effect.
You can see the Attributes property has ReadOnly or not.
var filePicker = new Windows.Storage.Pickers.FileOpenPicker();
filePicker.ViewMode = Windows.Storage.Pickers.PickerViewMode.Thumbnail;
filePicker.SuggestedStartLocation = Windows.Storage.Pickers.PickerLocationId.VideosLibrary;
foreach (string format in HelperUP.subtitlesFormat)
filePicker.FileTypeFilter.Add(format);
var file = await filePicker.PickSingleFileAsync();
if (file == null)
return;
Debug.WriteLine(file.Attributes);
The reason FileAttributes.ReadOnly throws an exception is that the System.IO APIs don't have access to arbitrary file locations on the hard drive in UWP.
On the other hand, a StorageFile opened in the app via drag & drop has this attribute set too, which is a problem that is continuously being discussed and hopefully will be fixed in a future version.
The only workaround I can think of (apart from always using the desktop extension) is declaring the broadFileSystemAccess capability (I have described the process here for example). This is a capability which gives you access to the whole filesystem and allows you to get a file using an arbitrary path with the StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync method (see Docs). Please note you will need to explain why this capability is required when you submit the application to the Microsoft Store.
With broad filesystem access, you could take the drag & drop StorageFile, take its Path and retrieve the same file again using StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync. This new copy of the file will no longer have the "false-positive" Read Only attribute and will reflect the actual attribute state from the filesystem.

How can I download a PDF file from a form using UI designer?? Bonita

The thing is I have found how upload a document and after that downolad it. But I just want to download it. I want to do it using the UI designer but I dont know how to do it.
Thanks :)
I dont know which tool are you using to design your UI, anyway this is concerning functionality, not design. In that point, i need to know wich language do you want (or can) use. For example, in PHP, it's very simple, you can make something like:
(create php file) downloadpdf.php
1st: (if you want to generate pdf "on the fly":
<?php
function download($foo){
content headers (type, force-download, etc)
database select to get data or harcode it.
echo data
}
?>
and call this function with some id to select from database or something (ignore if you want to hardcode it)
Other option to download a file, if it's stored on server is making a link to this file (statically or dyamically). If you wanna take control to file downloads, check this post:
http://www.media-division.com/the-right-way-to-handle-file-downloads-in-php/
I don't mean that it can be done with UI designer tools, and it's not concerned if it's from a form or not.
Cheers!
You should create link and variable which type is javascript expression. On Variable value write
return "/bonita/portal/" + $data.context.mainDoc_ref.url;
On link URL write your variable and to text
Download: {{context.mainDoc_ref.fileName}}
Here you can find excellent example for this case

How do you specify the SQLite database file in FireDAC's TFDPhysSQLiteDriverLink component?

I'm trying to modify one of the FireDAC sample projects in order to use an existing SQLite file as the database source. The sample works fine unmodified and connects to its database. However, I can't figure out where the database it connects to is specified, in order to change it.
According to the documentation, there should be a Database property on the TFDPhysSQLiteDriverLink component. There isn't: it doesn't exist. I even converted the form to text and looked through all components' customized properties, and there's no path defined anywhere. Nor is there in code - the sample is very small and there's no path defined at all.
The other option on the documentation is to include the FireDAC.Phys.SQLite unit, although that doesn't explain how to set the database, since as far as I can tell that unit just includes the component. And when I search for Database properties (see attached image) none of them in any class in that unit seem to be quite what I'm after. The closest is a string that's for a backup component - I doubt that's what I need. There is a SQLiteDatabase property in the TFDPhysSQLiteConnection class but that's read-only.
List of all Database properties defined in the FireDAC.Phys.SQLite unit
I also tried creating a temporary connection definition at runtime, by double-clicking the TFDConnection component. That only gives an exception:
Exception double-clicking the TFDConnection component
The only solution to this I found is in the XE5 documentation, where it says to set the $(PUBLICDOCUMENTSDIR) environment variable. I already had to do that to get the demo to run (previously, it threw the same exception on the line FDConnection1.Connected := True;; it doesn't now, the demo runs perfectly at runtime.) That change obviously hasn't affected the designer, and I don't even know if I'm looking in the right place, since after all the documentation talks about setting the Database property.
So I'm stumped. Where does it set the database? It's not in the DFM or any streamed properties; it's not in the property defined by the documentation (TFDPhysSQLiteDriverLink.Database doesn't exist, nor does anything that looks like it); it's not in the TFDConnection designtime editor (even though it throws an exception, a file specified as a property here would appear in the streamed DFM, I'd think); it's not in code; ...where else can it be?
(I have never used FireDAC before so am a complete noob, btw. I'm self-teaching via the documentation and samples.)
You don't actually need a TFDPhysSQLiteDriverLink for a minimalist FireDAC project, and using one rather confuses the issue if you're trying to make a connection to a database for the first time.
Try this:
Make a note of the name including path of a Sqlite db.
Start a new VCL project and drop a TFDconnection, TFDQuery, TDataSource & TDBGrid onto its form and connection them up. Set the TDFQuery's Sql to select * from some table you know exists in the db.
Right-click the TFDConnection and select Connection editor from the pop-up.
Set the DriverID to SQLite and insert your db name into the Database Value box.
Open the FDQuery.
If you compile and run the project, you'll get an exception telling you a class factory for a TFDGUIxWaitCursor is missing (this is the sort of thing I love about FireDAC), but that's easily fixed by dropping one onto your form. Notice that you don't have to connect it using the Object Inspector to any of the other FD components.
After that, you can add a TFDPhysSQLiteDriverLink and set its DriverID to the same as for the TFDConnection.
I ussualy roll my own class and handle the OnBeforeConnect event
Something like this
procedure TSQLiteConnection.SQLiteConnectionBeforeConnect(Sender: TObject);
begin
if not(TFile.Exists(DatabaseFilePath)) then
Params.Values['OpenMode'] := 'CreateUTF16'
else
Params.Values['OpenMode'] := 'ReadWrite';
Params.Values['Database'] := DatabaseFilePath;
DriverName := 'SQLite';
end;
The DatabaseFilePath is just a string field of the class, so basically you can put any file path there
TSQLiteConnection is, of course, a TFDConnection descendant

How to list all datasets in CKAN (not only the active ones)

I am working on a project based on CKAN, and I am required to list in a page all the datasets that have the state "active" and "draft". When you go to the datasets page, you can only see the ones that have the state marked as "active", but not "draft".
If I use the API (call the package_list() method) or REST calls (http://localhost/api/3/action/package_list), CKAN only returns "active" datasets, but not "drafts". I double and triple checked the documentation, and apparently one cannot lists the datasets by their state.
Does anybody have a clue on how to do this? Has anybody done this already?
Thanks!
If nothing else, you could write an extension to do this. The database call itself will be pretty simple:
SELECT id,title,name FROM package WHERE state='active' OR state='draft';
I managed to modify CKAN core to list the datasets that do not have the state "draft" or "deleted", and it works, but I do no want to touch CKAN's core, I want to do this using a plugin, so the normal thing to do is to implement plugins.IActions and override the package_list method with a custom one. I have already written my own extension to try to modify CKAN behavior on method package_list(), but I can't seem to figure it out how to make it work.
Here is my code:
#side_effect_free
def package_list_custom(context, data_dict=None):
datasets = []
dataset_q = (model.Session.query(model.Package)
.join(model.PackageRole))
for dataset in dataset_q:
if dataset.state != 'draft' and dataset.state != 'deleted':
datasets.append(dataset)
return [dataset.id for dataset in datasets]
class Cnaf_WorkflowPlugin(plugins.SingletonPlugin):
plugins.implements(plugins.IActions)
def get_actions(self):
return {
'package_list' : package_list_custom
}
If I modify CKAN core it works very well, but the problem is that I am not to touch it, so I am obliged to do it via an extension.
EDIT: Ok, I managed to make it work, you need to decorate the method with #side_effect_free. I modified my code, and now it works.
The package_search API is capable of this, by searching for state:draft and setting the include_drafts=True flag. Something like this:
https://my-site.com/api/action/package_search?q=state:draft&include_drafts=True
You should be able to access this from a plugin with something like: ckan.plugins.toolkit.get_action('package_search')(context=context, data_dict={'q': 'state:draft', 'include_drafts': True}) (you'll need to assemble the context yourself, containing a 'user' key for the current username and a 'userobj' key for the current user object).
Then make a page from the results.

protractor-js setting form action attributes

I have today tried to send the data via a form but the data must go in a post uri, Is there a way of appending the params to the form uri in a view which I could then submit a click to.
I have tried the code below. However,
driver.findElement(protractor.By.name('formelement')).setAttribute('action', attr);
returns Object has no method setAttribute
driver.findElement(protractor.By.name('externalFormData')).getText().then(function(result){
var attr = driver.findElement(proractor.By.name('formelement').getAttribute('action');
attr += result;
driver.findElement(protractor.By.name('formelement')).setAttribute('action', attr);
driver.findElement(protractor.By.name('submitRequest')).click();
});
Julie Ralph, the lead developer on protractor says its not (natively) possible here:

A user wouldn't set an attribute, so it's not a feature of webdriver. Can you find a way of running your test manually just using your page? It seems that you might have to use angular and $http.post() instead of just relying on the 's action attribute.
Personally, this stinks a little. I have tests timing out because sendKeys is so slow on long text files. I'll keep you updated if I find a good work-around. Maybe there needs to be a 'pasteTextBlock' instead of 'sendKeys' ... by Julie's rationale a user might copy and paste rather than key in...
