JavaFx-8 - synchronisize two ScrollPanes - javafx-8

How can I synchronisize two or more ScrollPanes in JavaFx-8? No matter which scrollbar is moved, every SrollPane should be updated like the other.
I found a solution here, but it works only in one way:
JavaFX ScrollPane - How to use one scrollbar to scroll 2 ScrollPanes?

Do bidirectional bindings for the vvalue and/or hvalue properties:
scrollPane1.hvalueProperty().bindBidirectional(scrollPane2.hvalueProperty());
scrollPane1.hvalueProperty().bindBidirectional(scrollPane3.hvalueProperty());
scrollPane1.vvalueProperty().bindBidirectional(scrollPane2.vvalueProperty());
scrollPane1.vvalueProperty().bindBidirectional(scrollPane3.vvalueProperty());

VerticalLayout dynamically hiding visibility

I was wondering whats the best way around dynamically hiding some menu items. At the moment I have 6 items just in a matrix layout row. I want to have 3 items aligned left and 3 items alligned right. If one of the items is set to not visible I want it to move accross. I've done something similiar in a horizontal layout and setting the visibility to hidden. I was wondering if this would work with a vertical layout? Having trouble trying to figure out exactly how I would do it as I'm quite new to UI5 xml css and javscript. Any help would be great.
Also I'm having one other issue unrelated to this, I cant seem to bind my json model to my xml fragment, if I use the same code on my normal xml view it prints out the model data. But on my fragment it just prints it like {person>/fullName} any ideas ?
Belongs to your second question.
Maybe your binding was quoted on copy and paste? Check the native XML Code.
If no data are shown (not "{person>/fullName}"), add dependent to connect the models of your view
var oFragment = sap.ui.xmlfragment(sFragment, "fragmentName", this);
oView.addDependent(oFragment);

Multiple Edges in Visual Library of Netbeans RCP

I want to make 2 edges between 2 nodes (pins) visibly separated.
Having that for one Edge, the code is like that (abviously):
addEdge(link);
setEdgeSource(link, sourecObject);
setEdgeTarget(link, targetObject);
Where link is object extending ConnectionWidget.
Is there any solution?
I simply overrided paintWidget method and called drawLine() 2 times.

GXT add doesn't seem to work after LayoutContainer.removeAll()

GXT 2.25.
I have a screen with a layout container with a TableLayout with two columns. The left column has a tree grid. The right column is a layout container with table layout, one column.
When I click on various items on the tree grid, I want to display editable fields in the layout container on the right that match to the item clicked on.
When I first start the form and am loading the data from the server, I add text to the layout container and it seems to be fine.
After the text is loaded, I call secondLayout.removeAll() to remove all items. Then I click on an item in the tree. The selection method calls secondLayout.removeAll() and then adds a new text item "Loaded..." for testing.
private LayoutContainer secondaryLayout;
And then...
secondaryLayout.removeAll();
secondaryLayout.add(new Text("Loaded..."));
Ideas?
After making structural changes to a container, be sure to invoke (in GXT 2) the layout method to re-run the layout routines. The alternative is to configure the LayoutContainer to re-run layouts on each modification (using setLayoutOnChange), but that would in this case be at least two re-layouts - one for removeAll, and another for each new object added. Could be needlessly expensive, so better to run once and for all when you are finished making changes.
(Worth pointing out perhaps that GXT 2.2.5 is just over two years old, 2.2.6, 2.3.0 have gone out since then, and it is being superseded by GXT 3. In GXT 3, the method here would be forceLayout.)

How to have the container adjust to a GWT grid?

I have a DataGrid with a SimplePager and when theres less than the predefined number of rows per page (in this case 15) the container will show those rows and leave a white space in between the grid and the simplePager (where the other rows would be).
I have seen some mentions on other sites about rendering datagrid first and then fit it into the container, but i have no idea what this means (Or at least, i don't think they're saying its as easy as removing it from the parent and re-attaching it, since i've tried that already).
Thanks in advance.
My proposition - resize container after data fetch, after rendering of grid. It will be just something like this:
container.setHeight(grid.getOffsetHeight() + "px");

GWT 2.4 DataGrid automatic scrolling when selecting an item

I am using GWT 2.4's new DataGrid in a project. I configured the DataGrid with a pagesize of 50.
The available screen is not big enough to display all items and thus a vertical scrollbar is shown (this is actually the main purpose for using a DataGrid in the first place).
I attached a SingleSelectionModel to the DataGrid in order to be able to select items.
This works fine so far.
However I also have another widget with which the user can interact. Based on that user action a item from the DataGrid should be selected.
Sometimes the selected item is not in the visible screen region and the user has to scroll down in the DataGrid to see it.
Is there any way to automatically or manually scroll down, so that the selected item is visible?
I checked the JavaDocs of the DataGrid and found no appropriate method or function for doing that.
Don't know if this works, but you could try to get the row element for the selection and use the scrollIntoView Method.
Example Code:
dataGrid.getRowElement(INDEX_OF_SELECTED_ITEM).scrollIntoView();
The answer above works pretty well, though if the grid is wider than your window and has a horizontal scroll bar, it also scrolls all the way to the right which is pretty annoying. I was able to get it to scroll down and stay scrolled left by getting the first cell in the selected row and then having it scroll that into view.
dataGrid.getRowElement(dataGrid.getVisibleItems().indexOf(object)).getCells().getItem(0).scrollIntoView();
Don't have time to try it out, but DataGrid implements the interface HasRows, and HasRows has, among other things, a method called setVisibleRange. You just need to figure out the row number of the item that you want to focus on, and then set the visible range from that number n to n+50. That way the DataGrid will reset to put that item at the top (or near the top if it is in the last 50 elements of the list backing the DataGrid). Don't forget to redraw your DataGrid.
Have you already looked at this? If so, I'd be surprised that it didn't work.
Oh, and since this is one widget talking to another, you probably have some messaging set up and some message handlers so that when the user interacts with that second widget and "selects" the item, the message fires on the EventBus and a handler for that message fixes up the DataGrid along the lines I've described. I think you'll have to do this wiring yourself.
My solution, a little better:
dataGrid.getRow(model).scrollIntoView();
I got a Out of bounds exception doing the above.
I solved it getting the ScrollPanel in the DataGrid and used .scrollToTop() and so on on the ScrollPanel. However, to access the ScrollPanel in the DataGrid I had to use this comment:
http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=6865
As Kem pointed out, it's annoying the "scrollToRight" effect after the scrollIntoView. After me, Kem's solution gives a better behaviour than the base one as usually the first columns in a table are the more meaningful.
I improved a bit his approach, which scrolls horizontally to the first column of the row we want to be visible, by calculating the first visible column on the left before applying the scroll and then scrolling to it.
A final note: Columns absolute left is tested against "51". This is a value I found "experimentally" by looking the JS values in the browser's developer tool, I think it depends on the table's style, you may need to change/calculate it.
Below the code:
public void scrollIntoView(T next) {
int index = datagrid.getVisibleItems().indexOf(next);
NodeList<TableCellElement> cells = datagrid.getRowElement(index).getCells();
int firstVisibleIndex = -1;
for(int i=0; i<cells.getLength() && firstVisibleIndex<0;i++)
if(UIObject.isVisible(cells.getItem(i)) && (cells.getItem(i).getAbsoluteLeft() > 51) && (cells.getItem(i).getAbsoluteTop() > 0))
firstVisibleIndex = i;
cells.getItem(firstVisibleIndex>=0? firstVisibleIndex : 0).scrollIntoView();
}
