osx - How can I keep track of a USB device across disconnections? -

-

i've got bunch of usb serial devices (these precise: http://plugable.com/products/pl2303-db9) and, if @ possible, "keep track" of them across unplug/replug events (even if replug event different usb port).

the driver appears create bsd dialin/callout/tty device names usb location, changes depending on usb port plug them into.

looking @ iokit property dictionaries between 2 identical devices plugged 2 separate usb ports, differences in sessionid, usb address, locationid, portnum or in values appear derived locationid. sessionid appears change, well, per session (i.e. different after every unplug/replug).

since these devices return 0 iserialnumber, think i'm screwed here, figured i'd toss out here , see if has ideas. there maybe generic facility write "token" usb device can read back? don't see in quick skimming/googling of usb standard, facility trick...

any ideas?

unfortunately, there's no way (and if figure 1 out, please post here, i've been trying come 1 years).

the problem, have surmised, there's no unique id on device itself. if devices had unique serial numbers (exposed in iokit property dictionaries), handle it, , if there little bit of user-addressable flash on device access, write it, far i've been able divine, there isn't any.

the thing i've been able far keep track of locations , tell people connect devices same ports if want devices recognized. however, in case, have predictable set of devices, handle serial numbers, able bit of querying devices @ other end of serial line directly.

if set mycoolbar.fixedorder true,only grip on first band hidden. well,if use delphi 7 create vcl forms application,then put coolbar on , create 3 coolbans hold other controls,only grip , top coolbands can hidden setting mycoolbar.fixedorder:=true. i've uploaded picture make things clear. you got fixedorder property wrong. fixed property not allow bands rearranged if set true . setting property of coolbar true keep user changing bands order @ runtime, user can still move , resize bands. can give advice can do, actual solution problem, well, have wait answer. my advice use 3 coolbars in row , setting "fixedorder" property true , bandborderstyle bsnone . way grip hidden on of them. about property, it's not bug of ide, actual preference of property.

this baffling me @ moment. i'm experienced programmer looking throw bit of surprise fiancee on countdown page our wedding. desired effect simulated confetti falling behind main page. setup follows: i have array of divs in javascript. each div absolutely positioned on page. have interval set updates every 50 or milliseconds. on each tick, run loop on array of divs, , calculations , update positions. problem problem having, however, though can see divs created, stored array, , modified (in case, each has slight randomized rotation) during initialization phase, once tick update position starts, div stored in whatever last slot of array gets position updated. tried hard-coding each div index testing purposes, strictly last element update position. upon printing current "left" , "top" style values each div before , after calculations shows value has been changed, no visible change noticeable. here's basic code: javascript var container;
