P4EXP Windows Explorer Integration - Problem Solved

There were lots of issues  and i was struggling to use p4exp which come in bundle with p4v setup. i Couldn't configure it properly for a long time. I searched the net couldn't find the answer. Sometimes i used to get "no workspace has been set for this connection" or unable to connect, connection failure messages, even though your p4v is working properly.

The root cause was , whatever you configure in p4v is not available for p4exp. You need to configure this manually using p4v set.

I did the following :
Open command prompt and set the following values.
c:\>p4 set P4CLIENT=<WorkSpaceName>
c:\>p4 set P4PORT=<PerfoceServerip:PortNo>
c:\>p4 set P4USER=<PerforceUserName>
Example:
c:\>p4 set P4CLIENT=vijayk_workspace
c:\>p4 set P4PORT=172.19.86.15:1999
c:\>p4 set P4USER=vijayk

You can also have p4config file.

Basically i got some help from this link:

Tabbing in Flex

Today i observed that tabbing was not working as i expected.
I had a custom component with 2 states read state and edit state. added few textfields in it. and in readstate i disabled tabs and in edit state i enabled tabs along with giving tabindex. But at runtime when i switch to editmode still tabbing is disabled!

My favorite place where i search for new technologies.

I normally goto 3 places to search new technologies.
1. microsoft labs, adobe labs, and google labs. These are the places where i find most of the new things which are at beta stage.

Google Sites

Let me make it clear I'm a big fan of google technologies.

I found one interesting app on the google. that was google site.
It is actually a website creation tool with live editing support.
I agree that there are hundreds of sites which provide website creation. But big benifit of google site is not only the web creation , its the integrety with other google apps like gmail, calender, picasa, google docs etc. You can create a single one place where all your internet identites, info are availabe.

Google Wave

Its an wonderful idea which will change the way how we communicate in the future.
E-mail, chat, documents now they are seperate entities. But google redefines it into one called waves.
