I'm using SlickGrid in a sharepoint environment to display and update data. To save on the the load time, I am populating auto complete fields with options that have only been used in previous lines (with tables with more than 50 lines), and then I am wanting to give the user the option to click on a "Metadata refresh button" located at the top of the autocomplete fields that will go and fetch all available options to repopulate the auto complete field.
<table><tr><td>[ TextField ] </td><td>[ AutoComplete1 ] </td><td>[ AutoComplete2]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Entry1</td><td>Hello</td><td>Goodbye</td></tr>
<tr><td>Entry2</td><td>Hi</td><td>Later</td></tr>
</table>
So if, the user was to create a new line, they would have the options of Hello and Hi in column 2, and Goodbye or Later in column 3 to choose from since they have been used before. If they want the option "Hail!" to appear in column 2, they would have to click the "Update MetaData" button for column 2, which would refresh ALL the cells in that column with all available but previously unused selections.
I know its not ideal, but its a requirement that has been given to me.
I know how to add buttons to column headers and I am updating the array of data that the grid needs for the autocomplete column, but I am at a loss on how to update the column choices without redrawing the whole grid.
Any suggestions?

This is probably closest to what you want:

What I have done in the past is create a data property of the cell node to store the object, like:
$jqacContainer.data('queryautocomplete', jqac);
It's then easy enough to get the object from the cell node.
However, this requires proper cleanup of the property to avoid a memory leak. This should be able to be done in editor.destroy(), but I don't think I've checked corner cases, for example where the editor is scrolled offscreen before being completed.

I want to implement new item(row) in sap.m.Table. In Add Items section of Fiori guideline, it looks like this:
Here is my Demo
I have three questions:
How to add the new row to the first item of the table?
How to "highlighted it with a visual indicator"? (the left blue part in design)
Why addOneRow function did not work before setModel? Is it because data binding refresh the table or sth.?
1- The way I addressed this problem in several project is by using 2 tables : first tables only contains one fixed row and the second one is binded to an array. When clicking the 'add' button in the first table it resets the first table content and adds an item to the second table binding
2- the hightlight property is on the items. example:
<ColumnListItem type="Detail" highlight="Error">
if you use my solution from #1 you might use it only on first table
3- you're totally right, this is also why you should put your 'addOneRow' in the 'onAfterRendering' callback to make sure your last row (that you likely always want) is always displayed.
(btw if you use solution from #1 you simply dont need it anymore)
My e2e-test for ui-grid is the following:
I'm adding the new item with the name that includes timestamp, saving it to the server.
I'm checking if the item with this name has been added to the ui-grid table.
The problem is that the table can get very big and ui-grid apparently uses lazy loading and puts only the visible rows to the DOM. I found this library of helper methods for testing, but it doesn't provide anything to search for the rows which are not in visible now.
So, question, is one of the following is possible in my Protractor test?
1) can I check how many rows do I have in my ui-grid table?
2) can I search for the certain cell by text, even if the cell is not visible?
1) Can I check how many rows do I have in my ui-grid table?
As long as the row is in the DOM, you can access it. However, if it's not visible you won't be able to do any operation on it (e.g. click). To get number of table rows you can use count:
$$('table tr').count();
2) Can I search for the certain cell by text, even if the cell is not visible?
Yes, you can search for (but not interact with) the cell as long as it's in the DOM. It doesn't have to be visible. But selecting elements by their text is rather fragile, so you should try to use some other method, if possible.
I have question about Lotus Note. I have form: http://i.stack.imgur.com/YWii6.jpg
In this form I need create bottom. With this buttom user can add new row with input field in this row to existing table. I find that kind of lotusscript from:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSVRGU_9.0.1/com.ibm.designer.domino.main.doc/H_EXAMPLES_ADDROW_METHOD_RTTABLE.html
But when I this script copied to this form, I get error "Object variable no set"
Then I tried this solotion:
LotusNotes 8.5 - Adding a row to a table with a button
And I again get the same error.
Can anybody tell me please, how I can create new row and input field in this row, when I pressed buttom "Add row"?
You can't make a table with a dynamic amount of rows in a Lotus Notes Form. There are two common ways to solve this:
Use child-documents; one document for each row; and show these documents using an embedded view. This is the most elegant imho.
Create a large, fixed-elements table, and hide the rows that are not needed (for instance, by checking the presence of an input in the preceding row. This is OK for small amounts of row, but performance starts getting bad if you have too many rows.
It seems you are a bit confused as to the difference between a form (your picture) and a document (the code you link). Also, you definitely need to understand the meaning of "Object variable not set", which is the most common error when you use Lotusscript.
Anyhow, where to go from here depends on how you plan using the data once it is input. Will it be edited ? Will each row need to be handled as a separate record ?
I have a form in Access where I have 2 unbound multi-select listboxes, with some code to move items between them.
Each of the fields in the table which are shown in the listboxes are boolean values - if the value is true then the name of that field shows up in lstSelected, and if false shows up in lstUnselected.
The listboxes have a RowSourceType of Value List, and the value list is generated programatically by looking at the underlying record and constructing a string with the field names where the boolean values are true for lstSelected and False for lstUnselected.
On the form I have two buttons, cmdMoveToSelected and cmdMoveToUnselected. When I click on cmdMoveToSelected it changes the boolean value of the underlying field for any selected items in the lstUnselected listbox from false to true by executing an SQL string, then rebuilds the value lists for both of the listboxes.
I have all of this working just fine. If I do a me.lstUnwanted.requery and a me.lstwanted.requery then everything moves and shows up correctly, and the underlying fields are edited correctly, BUT when I click on anything else on the form I get the error:
The data has been changed.
Another user edited this record and saved the changes before you attempted to save your changes.
Re-edit the record.
Now I've found a way around this (jobDetailsID is the primary key of the record being dealt with):
Dim intCurID as Integer
intCurID = Me.JobDetailsID
Me.Form.Requery
Me.Recordset.FindFirst "JobDetailsID = " & curID
This requeries the form and then moves back to the current record, and this gets rid of the error, however it causes there to be a delay and the form to flicker while it opens back at the first record, changes back to the correct record and repopulates the list boxes.
Is there a way to do away with this error, or get it to trigger programmatically so I can catch it by turning the warnings off via vba?
Thanks in advance.
Maybe it helps not to bind the form to the table being altered by cmdMoveToSelected, but to a query that doesn't contain all the boolean fields. If cmdMoveToSelected alters one or more boolean fields, the record is changed, but the query result isn't. Not sure if it's sound though.
It also sounds a bit like a design problem rather than a form problem, storing options in boolean fields instead of into a related table.
Probably the best solution would be to not directly update the current record in the table while the Form is dirty. Instead, update the values of the fields within the form itself (Me!FieldName) as the items are moved from one List Box to the other, and let the form write those values back to the table as usual.
I seem to have fixed it, though the fix doesn't make a great deal of sense to me.
I added in a Me.Refresh to the button click code, after I had requeried the two listboxes and it appears to have stopped the message from coming up. However this only works when I have the JobDetailsID textbox visible on the form (though I expect this is arbitrary and any field-linked textbox would work).
Can anybody explain to me why this works? I'd like to understand fully when to use requery, refresh etc
I've had this sort of thing happen when I've left the form RowSource query hanging in place after converting the controls to unbound textboxes, etc. The general Form rowsource query (to bring in all fields I might possibly end up using) provides me with a query-list identical to the table fieldnames, making it simple to select them for control-names as needed. Works fine, but you have to remove the form rowsource query after all the names are matched-up. (After which DLookup and BeforeUpdate works for getting and storing values and changes.)
This might be simple but I am new to Oracle. I am using Oracle 10g and have a form that lists our information from a linked table in a tabular Layout. The last column of data is a "list Item" item type that has the Element list of Enabled (T) and Disabled (F).
What I need is when a user changes this dropdown, to disabled, I want ONLY that row to have some of the columns be disabled and not the entire column.
This is also assuming on load of the form, it will disable and enable rows of data depending on what values are being pulled from the EnabledDisabled column in the database.
Thanks for the help!
Option 1: use the ENABLED item property.
Unfortunately Oracle Forms does not allow changing the ENABLED property of an item at the item instance level.
What you can do, however, is enable or disable the whole item when the user enters a record - use the WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE trigger - depending on the value of the current record's value for the list item, the trigger would set the ENABLED property to PROPERTY_TRUE or PROPERTY_FALSE.
Of course, your list item would also have the same code in its WHEN-LIST-CHANGED trigger.
The downside to this approach is that the whole column will "look" disabled to the user, and they will not be able to select a different record using those disabled items.
Option 2: use the INSERT_ALLOWED and UPDATE_ALLOWED properties.
You can set these properties at the item instance level using SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY. You would set them in the block's POST-QUERY trigger, as well as in the list item's WHEN-LIST-CHANGED trigger.
This would not, however, change how the items look on the screen. To solve this, you could also set a visual attribute at the item instance level (e.g. change the items to use a dark gray background or something).
