I have set up a BlackBerry Cascades-UI project. I am using QML to define the look and feel of the user interface. I need to provide the user a method of selecting an image from the device photo gallery after the screen has been touched.
Does anyone have any idea on how to provide a list on the screen with all the images in the gallery and their appropriate names after a touch event has been triggered?
Perhaps someone would like to know even though nobody answered.
There currently is no Photo Gallery dialog (though it is announced and will probably be released in an update in the near future). However, it is possible to invoke a native file selection dialog from another thread. For more information about this, go to the support forums for Cascades and find a topic called: "Using native filebrowse and filesave dialog in Cascades".
Here is a link.
on beta 3, you can use file picker to select file(s)

I'm setting up a carousel in Sitecore using Glass Mapper. In the foreach loop to generate each carousel item, I can get the items out easily enough and make them editable with the #Editable command. What this doesn't give, however, is finer control over the edit process. For example, I want to edit the background image using a custom button in the Experience Editor, but I need to set that up in a rendering.
If I was using straight Sitecore, it looks like I'd use Html.Sitecore().ItemRendering and pass in the carousel item as a regular Sitecore item. In this case, I have my strongly-type class from Glass Mapper, which can't be passed in that way.
Is there a comparable method in Glass Mapper for setting up an item rendering? Or is there another way to affect the Experience Editor buttons for the carousel items? I've also experimented with setting up a separate edit mode, which would work fine, but I wanted to put together a cleaner editing experience with a more WYSIWYG approach to the item.
You'll have to use Custom User Experience Buttons which will allow you to edit in Page Editor Mode.
I just googled and found couple of good article which might help you.

Try Html.Glass().BeginEditFrame() functionality built into Glass Mapper, wrapped in a #using block.
It allows you to specify the fields you wish to edit directly as params. Or if you're feeling adventurous, it can point to a full edit frame configuration in the core DB.
I am developing the user interface for a embedded device. I have created about 30 ui forms. You have first the Welcome form which loads the database and connects automatically to the available known wifi and all those start up functions. Once everything is loaded the next form to be loaded is the user login
So this is how I go about it, if Login is my second ui
//Instantiating the Login class
Login *myLog = new Login();
//Close the welcome class
this->close();
//open the Login class
myLog->show();
Is this the right way to switch between multiple UI? The software can be imagined like any smart phone device with multiple Icon buttons to open different apps. And each app or folder has a functionality of its own. I have a home button to move back to main menu homepage and so on. I have used the above given code to switch between various ui forms and I am not sure if this is the way to go about it. I am very new to Qt and I was asked to do this task within 2 weeks and I created the easiest way I found. Is there a better way to go about it?
Any help or guidelines is appreciated. If you could give me links to understand better it would be great
Thank you
EDIT
Every ui form has a short cut panel for direct access to login, main menu, settings-power options, wifi options (within settings). The layout flow shown under 1 is similar to 2, 3 and settings. Sorry for the ugly image. The two way arrow indicates i can switch back and forth. The single arrow shows linear movement.
Is there a better way to go about it?
I think so.
As noted in the comment, I would use a QStackedWidget myself.
I think this blog post explains how to establish "Home", "First" and so forth widgets inside it. This should be useful for you:

I'm developing a GDK app where I need to provide an user experience to display status text similar to video recording status that Glass provides ( displaying "Recording" status then displaying progress indicator and finally showing 'Complete' text ). Appreciate your input.
Right now, you'll need to write your own UI logic to do this (perhaps by using a Dialog with a custom layout that has the appropriate centered label and icon, with a progress bar at the bottom, and changing the label and dismissing the dialog when the action is complete).
You may want to follow issue 271 in our issue tracker, which covers the progress indicator part of this flow.
Tony is right. There is no way to do this naively but you can build it yourself. You can create a layout that is build exactly like the menu is built in the GDK, and then just update the setcontentview() with a new layout each time you want to move to the next card. Also you can build a layout with the holo horizontal progressbar to get the general idea but it won't be like the one Google uses.
Also wanted to add that I have built a repo that you can drop into your project for this. Here is the link: https://github.com/w9jds/GDK-ProgressBar
Today I did something I've been meaning to do for a while. I got around to creating some icons for the two custom entities I created a while ago. These custom entities were Account Product and Contact Product. I used a microsoft tool to import and publish the new icons. This seemed to work ok. The problem is now the only icons that show up in the entire CRM are the two new icons. All the rest are just blank with little red dots. This isn't the case on the computer I made the change from. All icons are present there. But from every other computer all icons are missing. I seems to be some sort of permission thing but I'm blowed if I know know what it is.
Please help. Any ideas?

Here is the post I followed with a link to the tool http://mscrmtools.blogspot.co.uk/2010/04/updating-custom-entities-icons.html
I have seen that sort of image in Dynamics when you need to publish all the customisations.
I've found no other stackexchange site to ask this question so I present it here. If there's a more appropriate place for it please let me know.
I have just been given a ms-powerpoint template document to fix. It was created by designers using the slide master editor in MS-Office 2011 for Mac. The problem is that when the customer creates a new slide using one of these templates and then wants to insert a chart into one of the designated boxes (which is only one of the things that can be stuck in there) the text in the chart is always set at 18pt. I've looked everywhere for a setting that sets the default font size for charts (and smart art) for only that document but have been unable to find it.
Any pointers or help of any kind would be more than great.
I received the following answer from James Gordon from a Microsoft forum:
Charts are handled by Excel. In Excel you can create Chart Template,
which are saved in (.crtx) file format and will appear in the Ribbon.
The way to do it is to customize a chart and then right-click on the
chart. Use the Save As Template option from the pop-up menu. If you
save your template in the Chart Templates folder (the default when the
save dialog opens), after you quit and then re-open Excel, the
template will be available to you in the Ribbon.
SmartArt is within your PowerPoint presentation. There are various
approaches you might take regarding SmartArt. As you pointed out,
SmartArt can be specified in a Slide Master, or on Slide Design.
Saving a presentation as a Theme (.thmx) is one option. Another save
option is to save as a Template, which is more comprehensive (includes
every aspect of a slide show).
