When the diagramobjects are created using addin using API parentDiagram.DiagramObjects.AddNew("l=30;r=700;t=-50;b=-450;", "") we have first parameter in AddNew method where we will be able to set the position left,right,top and bottom.for these alignment we assign integer values .So we have around 20 elements created in diagram so we have one formula where it will be generating the integer values based on previous diagramobject top,left,bottom,right values.So is there any boundary for these integer values.
For Ex:left can have only integer values from 0-2000.
Here you can set all the EA given layout's in your diagram through LayoutDiagram property of GetProjectInterface.
Using below code it can be achieved :
Repository.GetProjectInterface().LayoutDiagram(DiagramUGID,layoutStyle);

I have created one master shape with many properties. In the "Define Shape Data" windows of the master shape (of the document stencil), one of the properties (masterProp) is a variable list (so with a list of allowed values).
Is it possible to re-use the list of values allowed for this property (masterProp) to define the format of another property of type variable list in another master shape so that the list of values has to be maintained only once ?
Maybee is there a way to set up "lists" in Visio and link the expected/allowed values (format field) of a property to this list (without using excel) ?
Thanks for your advises,
Is it possible to use the same property (masterProp) in another master
shape to inherit the same allowed values? Or is it possible to link
the values of another property of type fixed list in another master
shape to the values of this masterProp property ?
You mean mastershape in document stencil or in external stencil ?
You can refer to some cell of mastershape in document stencil
To reference a cell of
Use this syntax
Example
A master
Masters[MasterName]!SheetName!CellReference
Masters[Gear]!Shaft!Geometry1.X1
About Cell References
Well, Thanks to #Surrodate, this is the correct way of doing this:
Add a user-defined cell in the ShapeSheet of the document (or the page)
Open the master shape for editing
In the master shape, open the shapesheet of the master shape and go to the section of the Shape Data
In the Format column, refer to your user-defined cell. Begin typing with a "=" otherwise it takes your entry as text (even if it recognise your data ...). To refer to the document, begin with =TheDoc!User... if your data are in the page, begin with ThePage!User... Do not forget to set the type of data to 1 or 4 (in case of list).
Ok, I found the shapeSheet of the Page-1. I added a user-defined
section, then a cell named "User.Softwares". I set the value to
="Soft1;Soft2;Soft3". Correct for list ? Then in the field "Format" of the "Define Shape Data" windows in have written
"Page-1!User.Softwares". Is that the correct way to refer to the
page-1 ? When I click on the property of a shape, it proposes the text
"Page-1!User.Softwares" and not the value of the user-defined cell in
Page-1 ... What is the mistake ?
You must also change Type field ! If in this cell stores 0, it mean "String". if cell value is 1 it mean Fixed list.
You must write Page-1!User.Softwares, without quotation marks !
Is it possible to have a grid column containing multiple types inside of it based on the value of a cell? Where each cell is rendered based on value. For instance, with in the same column a cell could be of type 'text' or 'datetime' or 'list' etc... and for each type I can use built in inline-editing? See image illustration below. Basically a key/value editor where the value column need to contain more than one 'type. Please post a sample answer.
It's possible, but you cannot rely on standard funtionality.
The idea of a w2grid is to assign a renderer to a column and render all cells of the same column in the same way.
You could implement a render function for your column and then generate the HTML for each cell based on those arguments:
http://w2ui.com/web/docs/1.5/w2grid.columns
Or you could override getCellHTML() for your grid.
Have a look at the implementation of getCellHTML() to see what awaits you if you want to customize it:
https://github.com/vitmalina/w2ui/blob/master/src/w2grid.js#L7396
Although it was a hack solution I ended up creating multiple grids aligned vertically each with a property & value column but the value column's 'type' attribute is different for each grid based on the w2ui framework out of box functionality I Desired for it. Each Grid is also separated by the header without padding to give it a feel like it is one grid. See Image below. now obviously the draw back of this is you cannot sort on all the fields but this is not required in my use case.
Currently I have a GUI in which once a 'Submit' button is pressed the drop menu which is left blank is then populated by a calculated value determined by the three other values.
I have successfully figured out how to grab all of the values using this logic:
temp=get(handles.FSTOPpopmenu,{'String','Value'});
fstop=temp{1}{temp{2}};
if (strcmp(fstop,'Select'))
fstop = 0;
else
fstop = str2num(fstop);
end
I just have two questions about this that I can not seem to find an answer for.
How would I go about updating the 'empty' drop menu to the calculated variable (the calculated variable will already be one of the possible values in the predetermined list)?
How would I go about presenting an error, say if I have an if statement checking that the amount of zeros in the array? Would a pop up box be sufficient?
Cheers.
As for your first question matlab's set command is what you're looking for. The documentation is here. You would probably need:
MyValueIndex = find(DropDownValues==NewValue);
switch handleToChange
case handles.handle1
set(handles.handle1,'Value',MyValueIndex);
case handles.handle2
set(handles.handle2,'Value',MyValueIndex);
otherwise
error('Uh oh!');
end
Note that MyValueIndex is the index of dropdown box values that you want. Which is found with a find command on the actual value.
Question two is more of an opinion question but I think that a pop-up box describing the problem is sufficient. Maybe add in a system beep for good measure!

For a popupmenu uicontrol the Value property determines which element of the String property is currently being displayed. Get the String; compare its contents to the calculated variable to get the index; then set that index as the Value property. If the calculated variable is not currently in the String then add it to the String and then set the Value. (Note when comparing you need to compare numbers to numbers or string to strings, so you may need to do an appropriate data type conversion first).

I have an RDL with a table/textbox visibility set to:
=iif(Fields!question_caption.Value = "OBJECTIVE 1",false,true)
I am trying to make this textbox display the value named "narrative" only if the question_caption record = "OBJECTIVE 1". How can I do this? Currently this textbox displays nothing with the above logic. I have the narrative field stored in a Placeholder if that makes any difference.
Here is some sample data for you:
create table #dummy_data
(
question_caption varchar(max),
narrative varchar(max)
)
insert #dummy_data values('1st week dates','week 1'),('2nd week dates','week 2'),('3rd week dates','week 3'),('OBJECTIVE 1','obj 1'),
('5th week dates','week 5')
select * from #dummy_data
I don't see anything wrong with your visibility expression. However, in your question, you're discussing two separate things as one (i.e., visibility & displaying a value in a placeholder).
The hidden property will show an object (tablix, textbox, image, chart, container, etc) if the expression returns false and will hide an object when the expression returns true. When I say hide, I mean that it will remove the object from the grid and, if all is setup properly, the surrounding objects will be shifted to fill the now empty space of the hidden object.
To display (or not) a value is an entirely different thing. To show or hide a value, you would put the following expression in the value property of the placeholder:
=IIF(Fields!question_caption.Value = "OBJECTIVE 1",Fields!narrative.Value,"")
Notice that I've set it up such that if the desired value of the question_caption field is present, it will display the value of the narrative field. Otherwise, it will return an empty string. This will maintain the layout of the report but simply display the desired value or an empty string, based on some criteria.
As for the issues you're current experiencing, I'm not sure why that would be happening. I would first check that you don't have a typo in the Objective 1 hardcoded value in your expression.
If this doesn't help, please comment and let me know some more information about your problem and I'll do my best to help.
I am using SmartGWT and it's ListGrid. Is it possible to have different ListGridFieldType's in same ListGridField in SmartGWT? E.g. having both ListGridFieldType.FLOAT and ListGridFieldType.IMAGE for the same column? The background to my question is that the column should present values that are Doubles, but in case the Double is null an image should be displayed.
Use ListGridField.setCellFormatter to create this conditional display.
http://www.smartclient.com/smartgwtee/javadoc/com/smartgwt/client/widgets/grid/ListGridField.html#setCellFormatter%28com.smartgwt.client.widgets.grid.CellFormatter%29
In this case leave the field type as FLOAT since the values are either numeric or null - there's no actual image URLs in the data, it's just something you do in your formatter.
