ZK MVC Drag and Drop between two Listbox - drag-and-drop

I have a problem in ZK MVC controller.
I'd like to manage drag and drop between 2 Listbox (right and left).
This code loads item in right:
for(int i=0;i<lstEtic.size();i++) {
Listitem li = new Listitem();
System.out.println(lstEtic.get(i));
addListcell(li,lstEtic.get(i));
right.appendChild(li);
}
The Left listbox is empty.
Question: Will someone please give me a code example to manage drag and drop events in Java controller?

Here is an example based on the documentation I mentioned. It is very easy to move all the necessary attribute setting and onDrop listeners to Java:
<hlayout width="400px" height="400px" apply="path.to.MyComposer">
<listbox id="left" hflex="1" vflex="1" />
<listbox id="right" hflex="1" vflex="1" />
</hlayout>
public class MyComposer
extends SelectorComposer<Component>
{
#Wire
private Listbox left;
#Wire
private Listbox right;
#Override
public void doAfterCompose(Component comp)
throws Exception
{
super.doAfterCompose(comp);
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
Listitem li = new Listitem();
li.appendChild(new Listcell("Item " + i));
li.setDraggable("true");
right.appendChild(li);
}
left.setDroppable("true");
left.addEventListener(Events.ON_DROP,
(DropEvent event) -> left.appendChild(event.getDragged()));
}
}

How to display popup in a template and pass it arguments

Part of my application is recording the finish times of a race. Since this will most likely be done on a phone or tablet I would like to implement a small popup to easily modify the time without having to set the focus exactly and type it in. However having the time start as 00:00:00 for every finish time will make the process very laborious so I want to have it initialise to the last entered finish time. I want the popup to appear directly below the timebox, if times being entered are at the top of the grid, or above the timebox for times being entered which are at the bottom of the grid. Below is stripped down versions of my code which hopefully helps explain the concept.
My popup window: entertime.zul
<window viewModel="#id('vmtp') #init('EnterTimeVM')" onBlur="#command('close')">
<caption>
<toolbarbutton label="Save" onClick="#command('save')"/>
<toolbarbutton label="Cancel" onClick="#command('close')"/>
</caption>
<hlayout>
<vlayout>
<button label="+" onClick="#command('changeHours', amount='1')" />
<intbox value="#load(vmtp.hours)" readonly="true" />
<button label="-" onClick="#command('changeHours', amount='-1')" />
</vlayout>
<vlayout>
<button label="+" onClick="#command('changeMinutes', amount='1')" />
<intbox value="#load(vmtp.minutes)" readonly="true" />
<button label="-" onClick="#command('changeMinutes', amount='-1')" />
</vlayout>
<vlayout>
<button label="+" onClick="#command('changeSeconds', amount='1')" />
<intbox value="#load(vmtp.seconds)" readonly="true" />
<button label="-" onClick="#command('changeSeconds', amount='-1')" />
</vlayout>
</hlayout>
</window>
EnterTimeVM.java
public class EnterTimeVM {
private LocalDateTime ldt;
private Component view;
#Init
public void init(#ExecutionArgParam("initTime") LocalDateTime initTime,
#ContextParam(ContextType.VIEW) Component view) {
ldt = initTime;
this.view = view;
}
public int getHours() {
return ldt.getHour();
}
public int getMinutes() {
return ldt.getMinute();
}
public int getSeconds() {
return ldt.getSecond();
}
#Command
#NotifyChange("hours")
public void changeHours(#BindingParam("amount") int amount) {
ldt = ldt.plusHours(amount);
}
#Command
#NotifyChange({ "hours", "minutes" })
public void changeMinutes(#BindingParam("amount") int amount) {
ldt = ldt.plusMinutes(amount);
}
#Command
#NotifyChange({ "hours", "minutes", "seconds" })
public void changeSeconds(#BindingParam("amount") int amount) {
ldt = ldt.plusSeconds(amount);
}
#Command
public void save() {
Map<String, Object> args = new HashMap<>();
args.put("finishTime", ldt);
BindUtils.postGlobalCommand(null, null, "finishTime", args);
close();
}
#Command
public void close() {
view.detach();
}
}
Here is my main zul and view model.
timekeeper.zul (excess columns removed for brevity)
<window viewModel="#id('vmtk') #init('TimeKeeperVM')">
<grid model="#load(vmtk.competitors)">
<columns>
<column label="Name" />
<column label="Finish time" />
</columns>
<template name="model">
<row>
<label value="#load(each.name)" />
<timebox format="HH:mm:ss" value="#bind(each.finishTime)"
onFocus="#command('changeFinishTime', comp=each)" />
</row>
</template>
</grid>
</window>
Competitor.java
public class Competitor {
private String name;
private LocalDateTime finishTime;
// getters and setters
}
TimeKeeperVM.java
public class TimeKeeperVM {
private List<Competitor> competitors;
private Competitor selectedCompetitor;
private LocalDateTime prevFinishTime;
#Init
public void timeKeeperInit() {
prevInitTime = LocalDateTime.now();
}
public List<Competitor> getCompetitors() {
return competitors;
}
#Command
public void changeFinishTime(#BindingParam("comp") Competitor competitor,
#ContextParam(ContextType.COMPONENT) Component timebox) {
selectedCompetitor = competitor;
Map<String, Object> args = new HashMap<>();
LocalDateTime currentFinishTime = competitor.getFinishTime();
args.put("initTime", (currentFinishTime != null) ? currentFinishTime : prevFinishTime);
Window win = (Window) Executions.createComponents("entertime.zul", timebox.getParent(), args);
// Need to use the parent of timebox in this case
win.setPosition("parent,bottom,right"); // positions the popup relative to timebox parent, not timebox
win.doPopup();
}
#GlobalCommand
#NotifyChange("competitors")
public void finishTime(#BindingParam("finishTime") LocalDateTime finishTime) {
if (selectedCompetitor != null && finishTime != null) {
selectedCompetitor.setFinishTime(finishTime);
prevFinishTime = finishTime;
}
}
}
The code as I have it at the moment (i.e programatically create the popup - see changeFinishTime method) displays the popup but not in the ideal position. As per the zk popup demo I could generate the popup in the zul by having somewhere in the zul file:
<popup id="timepop">
<include src="entertime.zul" />
</popup>
and then displaying it by:
onFocus='timepop.open(self,#load(vm.popupPosition))'
The problem with this is that I can't pass args to entertime.zul. Also I can't modify the position of the popup as popupPosition will be resolved at render time; not runtime. This is the same problem if the include line (from above) is changed to:
<include initTime="#load(vm.prevFinishTime)" src="entertime.zul" />
initTime is initialised at render time; not runtime.
Any thoughts/advice greatly appreciated.
I would prefer to use the Executions.createComponents solution.
If the position of the modal win is the same for all the windows, I usually tag directly the position in window component:
<window viewModel="#id('vmtp') #init('EnterTimeVM')" onBlur="#command('close')" position="parent, bottom, right" width="100px">
instead of set it VM.
Then, did you try to remove the position? In my testing project with your code the popup is opened next the timebox.getParent().
With your code, the timebox.getParent is the component Row, so maybe there can be problems with row width, for example.
You can bypass the problem use a parent component before timebox like hbox.
<hbox>
<timebox format="HH:mm:ss" value="#bind(each.finishTime)" onFocus="#command('changeFinishTime', comp=each)" />
</hbox>
so that the parent result a little more usable.
I was hoping to position the popup relative to the row the popup is attached to. I didn't read the api of Window's setPosition properly. It says Position the window relative to its parent. That is, the left and top is an offset to his parent's left-top corner. But I can manipulate the position using session attributes:
#Command
public void changeFinishTime(#BindingParam("comp") Competitor competitor,
#ContextParam(ContextType.COMPONENT) Component timebox) {
selectedCompetitor = competitor;
// set args map
Window win = (Window) Executions.createComponents("entertime.zul", timebox.getParent(), args);
Sessions.getCurrent().setAttribute("top", "-20px");
win.doPopup();
}
And then change entertime.zul:
<window viewModel="#id('vmtp') #init('EnterTimeVM')" onBlur="#command('close')" position="parent" top="${sessionScope.top}" width="100px">
This solution is a little clunky and will have to look into how much of an issue it is if the font size changes but it does achieve what I want.
I could also remove all the positioning from the entertime.zul window element and do it in java:
Window win = (Window) Executions.createComponents("entertime.zul", timebox.getParent(), args);
win.setPosition("parent");
win.setTop("-20px");
win.doPopup();

Insert text at caret from button in RichTextBox mvvm using wpf toolkit

I have selected text from a ListBox that I want to insert into a RichTextBox at the caret position. I can get the selected text to be inserted at the end of the text string.
I am not sure how to pass the RichTextBox caret position to my view model.
Here is part of my code for the project.
<Button x:Name="AddItemBtn" Content="Add Item" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="417,10,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="100" Command="{Binding AddItemBtn}" CommandParameter="{Binding ElementName=AddItemList,Path=SelectedItem}"/>
<wpftoolkit:RichTextBox Grid.Column="0" Text="{Binding TestText, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" x:Name="MyEditor" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" Margin="0" Height="Auto" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Width="Auto" IsDocumentEnabled="True" AcceptsTab="True" AcceptsReturn="True" >
<wpftoolkit:RichTextBox.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Paragraph}">
<Setter Property="Margin" Value="0" ></Setter>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="15"></Setter>
</Style>
</wpftoolkit:RichTextBox.Resources>
<wpftoolkit:RichTextBox.TextFormatter>
<wpftoolkit:PlainTextFormatter/>
</wpftoolkit:RichTextBox.TextFormatter>
</wpftoolkit:RichTextBox>
Here is the view model part.
private string _testText;
public string TestText
{
get
{
return _testText;
}
set
{
//_testText = _testText + value;
SetProperty(ref _testText, value);
}
}
public ICommand AddItemBtn
{
get;
set;
}
public void addItem(Tabbed selectedItem)
{
if (selectedItem != null)
{
MessageBox.Show(selectedItem.Command);
if (TestText != null)
{
TestText = TestText.ToString() + selectedItem.Command;
}
else
{
TestText = selectedItem.Command;
}
}
}
I tried a flowdocument but still could not get the parameters to pass correctly.
I like to put a function on the view model that is setup in the view code behind.
public class MainViewModel : ViewModelBase
{
public Func<int> GetCarrotPosition { get; set; }
//...
Looks like you can get the number of characters into the text string by getting the offset from the document start start to the current position
public MainWindow()
{
// InitializeComponent stuff..
var castedContext = (MainViewModel)DataContext;
castedContext.GetCarrotPosition = () =>
{
// Placing the cursor at the start of the text returns a value of 2, so I subtract 2 to get the current cursor location
return MyRichTextBox.CaretPosition.DocumentStart.GetOffsetToPosition(MyRichTextBox.CaretPosition) - 2;
};
//...
Finally, call the GetCarrotPosition() function in your command
var carrotPosition = GetCarrotPosition();
TestText.Insert(carrotPosition, selectedItem.Command);
Creating delegates on the view model that get wired up in the view code behind is the sexiest MVVM way of working with UI elements I know of.

I try in the second listbox (At begin have to be empty), show the details of the book everytime when a book in the 1st listbox is selected. I get the correct info. When I choose a book, I get the correct details of that book, but my second listbox does'nt show anything. I will apreciate all the help. PD: Sorry for the english
Oke, there are more points to say on this code then you imagine.
Never use static for a user/session variable.
In your VM you have the following code :
private static Book selectedBook;
Imagine that I select Book 1 and you select 2 seconds later Book 2.
Because it's static, I'm also having Book 2 selected, while mine view isn't aware of it.
This means the GUI and server side are out of sync => never a good thing.
If you could be able to sync the view with the selected item, this means that you select book 2 for me and I'll be searching the number of the Ghost Busters.
With ZK, always use ListModel interface to give collections to GUI.
While returning List<Book> works pretty good, you need to understand the consequences of this action.
A List or Grid expect an implementation of ListModel and if you don't give it, there will be one created every time you notify the list of a change.
While this is a nice to have feature it also removes the intelligence of a listmodel and the GUI rendering will be a lot more.
An example is always more clear :
We have a Collection of 9 items and we will append 1 to it.
Adding 1 Object to the List and notifying it implies that all the content rendered of the Listbox will be removed and then adding all the content again to the Listbox.
This means that we are removing and adding 9 lines who aren't changed.
Adding 1 Object to a ListModel, even without notifying the ListModel of a change will result in an action where there is only 1 item appended to the Listbox. This is the intelligence of a ListModel => adding and removing items will be persisted to the GUI without overhead.
So your code should be looking like this :
private Book selectedBook;
private final ListModelList<Book> booksData = new ListModelList<Book>(new BookData().getBooks()); // Armo los libros
Why not working to the interface and why final?
So I just told you about the interface ListModel and yet, I'm setting an implementation of ListModel as code, even while we learn to work against interfaces.
The simple reason is that ListModel doesn't have methods for appending and removing items while the implementation do have it.
So I make a decision to work against that object in stead of casting it when I need the methods.
Remember, the global getter for the booksData can look like this :
public ListModel<Book> getBooksData() {
return booksData;
}
So here we hide the implementation of ListModelList to the outside.
The reason for final is that you will forcing yourself or other people who are going through the code to use the clear() method in stead of making a new ListModelList.
It's just not needed to create a new instance of it.
Using 2 viewmodel's
Your making yourself difficult of using 2 VM's.
But while it's sometimes a good idea to do this I'll be helping you to get your problem solved.
Your first problem is one of a naming kind.
Viewmodel 1 => called vm in the zul.
Viewmodel 2 => called vm in the zul.
You see it coming? who will listen when I cry to vm?
let's call the viewmodel of the details detailVM
viewModel="#id('detailVM') #init('detail.DetailViewModel')"
The second problem is that your detail viewmodel doesn't have any clue of the first listbox.
What do I want to say is that your second viewmodel should be holding the correct info of the selected item of the first listbox.
Zul code should be looking like this :
<window title="" border="none" height="100%" apply="org.zkoss.bind.BindComposer" viewmodel="#id('vm') #init('book.BookViewModel')">
<div apply="org.zkoss.bind.BindComposer"
viewModel="#id('detailVM') #init('detail.DetailViewModel')">
<listbox model="#init(vm.booksData)" selecteditem="#bind(detailVM.selectedBook)" emptymessage="No book found in the result">
<listhead>
<listheader label="Num Libro"/>
<listheader label="Libro"/>
<listheader label="Autor"/>
</listhead>
<template name="model" var="book">
<listitem>
<listcell label="#load(book.numBook)"/>
<listcell label="#load(book.nameBook)"/>
<listcell label="#load(book.author)"/>
</listitem>
</template>
</listbox>
<separator height="100px"/>
<listbox model="#init(detailVM.detailsData)" emptyMessage="No existen datos que presentar">
<listhead>
<listheader label="Num Capitulos"/>
<listheader label="Titulo del Cap"/>
</listhead>
<template name="model" var="detail">
<listitem>
<listcell label="#load(detail.idBook)"/>
<listcell label="#load(detail.title)"/>
<listcell label="#load(detail.numPages)"/>
</listitem>
</template>
</listbox>
</div>
</window>
So I set you up with the correct zul, and now it's up to you to modify the viewmodels.
Remember that I set selectedBook in detailVM so now it's not needed in the first viewmodel.
I don't write everything for you, otherwise you wouldn't learn from it.
Some small things left to say.
You see I change the listbox model to #init and not #bind.
A model is always read only, so please NEVER NEVER NEVER use #bind.
#load is the highest annotation you could use, and this is only the case when you will create a new instance for the ListModel, witch is hardly needed.
Labels, are also not updatable in your GUI.
Again #bind is over the top, #load should be used in normal situations (when the value can change, so most commonly) or #init when the value will never change, but if you use #load I'll be happy already.
Hope this could set you to the right direction.

I am not sure, What is wrong but only header is appearing in the modal.
You are calling AddBook.this.show(); - this shows the Modal that is the base of this AddBook instance, not the instance defined in your UiBinder template. When you call setTitle(title); you are setting the header/title on this instance - this is why all you see is the header and not the rest of the modal. You should assign an ui:field to your Modal defined in your UiBinder template and show/hide it.
Also AddBook shouldn't be extending Modal - it shouldn't extend any widget class at all :) Normally, UiBinder classes are extending Composite - because your UiBinder template is composed of a variety of widgets and Composite is used to bring them together without exposing any of their APIs: you call initWidget with the result of binder.createAndBindUi(this).
But if you are creating a widget whose "main" widget is Modal, like here, you should just call binder.createAndBindUi(this) and ignore the Widget that is returned (just like you are doing now). This is because Modal attaches itself to the DOM, bypassing any GWT mechanism (actually, it conflicts with it).

Why can't I use multiple selection with listbox in zk framework?

I followed zk demo to create listbox with multiple selection.
Here is my zul file:
<window title="demo"
xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns="http://www.zkoss.org/2005/zul"
apply="com.viettel.voffice.controller.ListboxController">
<listbox id="lb" model="${$composer.list}" multiple="true" checkmark="true" mold="paging" pageSize="10">
<listhead>
<listheader label="STT"/>
<listheader label="Name"/>
</listhead>
<template name="model">
<listitem>
<listcell label="${forEachStatus.index}"/>
<listcell label="${each}"/>
</listitem>
</template>
</listbox>
Controller:
public class ListboxController extends SelectorComposer<Component> {
#Wire
private Listbox lb;
private ListModelList list;
#Override
public void doAfterCompose(Component comp) throws Exception {
super.doAfterCompose(comp);
List listData = new BigList(1000);
list = new ListModelList(listData);
lb.setModel(list);
lb.renderAll();
lb.setMultiple(true);
}
#Override
public ComponentInfo doBeforeCompose(Page page, Component parent, ComponentInfo compInfo) {
return super.doBeforeCompose(page, parent, compInfo);
}
public ListModelList getList() {
return list;
}
BigList.java:
public class BigList extends AbstractList<Integer> {
private int size;
public BigList(int sz) {
if (sz < 0) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Negative not allowed: " + sz);
}
size = sz;
}
public int size() {
return size;
}
public Integer get(int j) {
return Integer.valueOf(j);
}
}
And here is what zk display:

Why doesn't listbox display multiple selection?
I have just solved it. Just add this line:
model.setMultiple(true);
:D
You made little mistake you have to add this in afterCompose() method
list.setMultiple(true);
