My HP laptop uses Windows Update to deploy updates for some of HP's integrated software. How'd they do that? What API will allow you to integrate with Windows Update to deploy your own patches?
My application stores lots of its users friends' phone numbers. I'd like to allow users to associate names with these phone numbers, but I don't want to make users manually type in names (obviously).
I'm curious what the best overall approach is here, as well as the best way to implement it
Overall approach-wise, I imagine using Gmail / Yahoo / Windows Live contacts is best (the Facebook API doesn't let you access phone numbers), though the gems I've found for interacting with these contacts APIs (this and this) only give you access to the names and email addresses of each contact.

I have a Magento installation with around 60 attribute sets. I need to add a new attribute to each of the attribute sets. There doesn't seem to anyway of doing this in the admin control panel.
I am sure I can work it out by manually entering the correct fields into the database, but is there a way of doing this through the API or through the Import / Export profiles?
Any suggestions would be gladly received.
So I have a little (musical) keyboard that has USB midi interface. I know you can program to this (many programs accept input from the midi device via USB interface) but where do you begin to program a midi device?
Ideally I'm looking for a platform-independent api, through Python or something.
In my application, I need to convert PDF docs to PCL5 generic files to send to FTP PCL capable printers. Printing to file would be a last resort, I would prefer a small-footprint command line tool or API that will do the job.
I've seen some mention of doing this on Linux using Ghostscript, but I've got no idea how to replicate this on windows.
Many thanks
Hi,
I have created an application to interact with Excel in C#.net
The API to save the Excel
Excel._Workbook m_oWorkBook;
m_oWorkBook.Save();
Throws up a File Saveas MessageBox though the workbook was already saved in a given name.
Note:
This happens only in Windows 7 & only when another Workbook was already opened.
Any clues.
Hi,
I'm working on a 3D graphical application in Java using the Java 3D API. I noticed that every time I was dealing with transparency, all I got in return were some clipping problems. Some parts of the scene weren't displayed properly. It might seem obvious that this would happen in a certain way but I'm looking for a logical explanation, why is this happening?
Thank you
Hi android developers!
I'm clearly a newb, and I was wondering if anyone knows how I can detect a "ring" event on my cellphone through the android sdk? Generally I want to do something with the phone when it begins ringing! Any thoughts?
If you want to simply point me to a page in the api documents that would be a good answer for me, I just don't know how to start my research!
The prevailing wisdom in webservices/web requests in general is to design your api such that you use as few requests as possible, and that each request returns therefore as much data as is needed
In database design, the accepted wisdom is to design your queries to minimise size over the network, as opposed to minimizing the number of queries.
They are both remote calls, so what gives?
I need to be able to use https to connect to a server and I'm wondering if there's recommended way of doing this on the iPhone that's NOT:
- an undocumented api call
- does not require manually storing certificates in the app bundle
Thanks all.
Is it possible to send SMS from a Java application. I don't want to use J2ME in this case. I want to know with respect to J2SE and J2EE only. Is there any API available to achieve this? If it is available whether we have to use any service provider or not for this? Can you tell me how to achieve that?
I have an UIImage view that responds to touch events. I want to cancel the touch sequence if the touch goes outside of certain bounds. How can I do that?
I know that I can inspect the coordinates of the touch object, what I don't know is how to cancel the sequence. I don't see any event in the API that allows for that.
Hi,
We render SSRS reports through the Web Services API.
For some reason when I get the HTML back any toggle functionality is missing.
I see that ReportingExecutionService has an option called ToggleItem however I don't see any way of getting the item's ID.
How can I discover toggle items and enable an action to be called on one?

I am making a distributed java app for which I need both parts of the app to run on one standard time. Since system times can be different I was thinking if java API contains some class to download time from a standard online source?
from google.appengine.ext import webapp
from google.appengine.ext.webapp import util
from google.appengine.ext import db
from google.appengine.api import urlfetch
class TrakHtml(db.Model):
hawb = db.StringProperty(required=False)
htmlData = db.TextProperty()
class MainHandler(webapp.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
Traks = list()
Traks.append('93332134')
#Traks.append('91779831')
#Traks.append('92782244')
#Traks.append('38476214')
for st in Traks :
trak = TrakHtml()
trak.hawb = st
url = 'http://etracking.cevalogistics.com/eTrackResultsMulti.aspx?sv='+st
result = urlfetch.fetch(url)
self.response.out.write(result.read())
trak.htmlData = result.read()
trak.put()
result.read() is not giving whole file , it giving some portion. trak.htmlData is a textproparty() so it have to store whole file and i want that only
Netbeans uses standart UndoManager API for implementation of undo functionality. But neither standart javax.swing.undo.UndoManager nor org.openide.awt.UndoRedo.Manager doesn't have any method to mark states as saved and check modified status. Nonetheless if you change the file and press undo, the file is marked as unmodified. How do they do that? I need the same functionality for my (non-text) editors if the Netbeans RCP application.
I'm looking to direct the user on the channell webpage instead of the video url that I'm embedding.
I've read the api and I didn't see any way to achieve this.
I tried enclosing the embedded video in a and I added this code:
$('#youtube').click(function() {
document.write('http://www.youtube.com/user/trasportareoggi');
return false;
});
And surprise it won't work.
How, if it's even possible I can do this?
I'm looking for a good way to convert Office (mostly Microsoft) documents to PDF in Java. I've been looking at using the OpenOffice SDK but from the samples I've looked at it looks like this requires having OpenOffice running in server mode to do the work.
Does anyone know of a good way to do this? Good meaning the less external requirements, the better. A 100% Java API would be best, but I don't expect that actually exists.
Hi guys,
I'm just writing an App for displaying the route between two coords (lat, long) in google maps view.
Displaying an single coord (even with a marker) works fine, but how to do this with 2 ones and the route between them?
I must admit that I'm quite new to Android and the maps-API...
From the API, I could see it has something to do with proxy. But I couldn't find a lot of information on proxy and do not understand the difference between calling session.get and session.load. Could someone please explain or direct me to a reference page?
Thank you!!
