I have one doubt in filemaker pro. In my project I have one layout with a button(Lets say layout1). If I click on the button, it is navigating to next page(Lets say layout2). If I go to layout mode in this page(layout2), it is showing the layout mode of previous page(layout1). I checked the button setup in this page(layout1). It is calling some script(Lets say script1). In the script(script1) it is calling some object using "go to object[object name:nameoftheobject]". I want to make some changes in layout2. Is there any way to find this layout or suggest some ideas to edit the object 'nameoftheobject'?
Your script does not change the layout, instead the interface is re-drawn by going to an object covering a whole layout. It could be a hidden tab control, popover or slide control. Duplicate layout and try to select all and apply a visible border.

You can change the visibility by clicking the caret seen in the screenshot above. Is there a way to trigger this visibility change via the API? I can't find any setter for the visibility inside the VSCode Extension API-documentation
In this case this is a TreeView and this means the needed method would trigger the views onDidChangeVisibility-Event.
If you want to collapse the view (and not just its contents), I think the answer is that it cannot be done programmatically from an extension at this point.
See API to programatically expand/collapse tree view: which is "On Deck" (and I think could be easily implemented - so upvote it).
If you were happy to just collapse the contents of the view but not the entire view, see I want to Collapse a VSCode tree view programatically.
Finally, it is relatively easy to remove the view altogether, see how to use vscode extension to hide timeline and outline in the side bar and
await vscode.commands.executeCommand('timeline.removeView');
but I can't find a good way to programmatically add a view back except
await vscode.commands.executeCommand('workbench.action.quickOpen', 'view NPM Scripts');
await vscode.commands.executeCommand('workbench.action.acceptSelectedQuickOpenItem');
which is less than optimal. If, however, it is your treeView you could use the TreeView.reveal() command which will open the view if it is closed. You do have to pass some element to the reveal(), perhaps the root of the tree.
I'm trying to make an app in Glade and Builder using Vala, and I've gotten stuck while making the menu. Basically, what I want is the button in the titlebar with three lines, and when you click it, it shows a menu. I know how to do this with a regular Popover, but I want to use GtkPopoveMenu because it fits better with all of the other apps.
So I double-clicked on the grey Glade logo in the background, and clicked GtkPopoverMenu. Then, when I double-clicked on that and tried to add a GtkBox, I got a dialog saying 'Widgets of type Popover Menu need placeholders to add children.'
When I look in the XML file, there is an empty <placeholder/> tag.
Does anyone have an idea what's going on, or how to add these widgets?
I'm working on a GWT application that has the following layout:
- on top there's Menu Bar
- below that screen is separated into two panel by Split Layout Panel
When user clicks on a label in Menu Bar relevant information is show below in the left part of the screen. Then user clicks on an action item on that left part of the screen, and relevant information on that action item is displayed on the right part of the screen.
Clicking on an action item on the right part of the screen may also change relevant information on left part of the screen.
I want to extend on this by giving a possibility to drag/drop the panel on the right part of the screen to another browser tab/window. After that the right and left part of the screen should remain connected as if they are in the same browser tab/window.
Also, that new tab/window should only display that right panel, while Menu Bar and left panel, along with Split Layout Panel should not be present (this is less important but it would be great if it can be done).
Another important thing is that current visual representation of application is not changed but only extended with this functionality.
Is that something that can be done and if it is how to do it?
Thank you for your help.
I think you would have to use "HTML5" native drag and drop to drag between browser instances, so that would limit browser support. Both tabs would already have to have your code loaded into them so they could respond to these events.
If you have a server back end (not just static HTML/JS) then you could communicate via the server. Otherwise maybe "HTML5" client side storage to store blobs of data describing the panel contents. Probably easier re-render in the new browser/tab.
I've created a query to use in an AutoCompleteBox and it works as expected when the user select the AutoCompleteBox in the grid as shown in the picture below
However if the user click the plus button to add a new record using the predefined Add Dialog then the query and the AutoCompleteBox's format doesn't work as shown in the picture below
Why is this happening and how I can fix that?
Thanks
I haven't yet found a way to edit the default Add New dialog.
Instead, make a new screen, select the "New Data Screen" template, and link it to your entity data. You can customize the screen to fit your needs, even make it a Modal Window by changing the Control Type in the screen properties. Once you have the screen set up the way you want, go back to your grid screen, and double click on the Add... command in the Command Bar of your grid, to edit the AddAndEditNew_Execute code. In that method, call your custom screen.
So, as I got to thinking about this some more, I came back to the thought I had when I tried to do this a few months ago. There has to be a better way, so I Googled it again.
This time, I found something. He's using an old version of Lightswitch, but I've successfully applied his technique in my application built in Lightswitch 2012.

How would one implement a wizard style interface for the iPhone?
For instance I have a form that I would like to break down into 5
different pages or views instead of putting all the information to fill out
into one page or view.
This interface must have the ability to go prev or next in case they want
to change something on page 2 when they are on page 4.
This interface must have the ability to go to page 3 directly and still be
able to go prev and next. Seems like using UINavigationController wouldn't
work here since views 1 and 2 are not on the stack so prev would not work.
Update: Check out the "gas cubby" application. It has what I'm looking for. UITableView presents the items you can fill out. Selecting a row takes you to the detail view to enter data and prev and next to fill in other information.
UINavigationController seems like the obvious solution. It gives you nice, familiar page transitions for free, and if you need to jump to a specific page you can just set up your navigation stack without using the transition animations.
I would say use a Navigation Controller. On the 1st view, show the 5 options in a Table View. The user selects a row, and then the corresponding section is pushed onto the stack as a new UIViewController. So, if they are in view #3 and want to go back to view #1 (to be honest, I would recommend rethinking whether or not somebody in the real world will actually want to do this), they hit "back" and then select view #1 from the table.
I can't think of a better way to do this because you won't have room to do something like breadcrumbing, which Apple would recommend against anyway. You could use a tab bar but that is more like options then some sort of wizard workflow.
If you really want them to be able to skip around the process, the combination of a UINavigation controller with a UISegmentedControl to jump to sections would do what you want. You can either embed the segmented control in the nav bar or place it just below the nav bar (which seems more like what you want since you have five sections).
If the Segmented control is not quite to your taste just put up any set of five buttons to change sections and make them visually appealing.
A "wizard" UI is typically used when you have a relatively small number of steps where one step depends on the previous, at least at some steps, the results or presentation depends on previous steps. This is like a navigation tree that usually results in the use of the navigation controller, but with only one potential branch at each each step. My feeling is that the navigation UI would be perfect, but with one exception; A button on the right hand side of the navigation bar that is the left to right mirror image of the "back" button that is usually found in the left part of the navigation button. That button would navigate to the the next step, and at each step the page presented would allow the user to fill in the information for that step. The only problem then is navigating to a step not the next or previous, and this could be corrected with a custom button that includes a drop-down list of the steps in the process. And this would fit nicely with the rest of the iPhone UI, which Gas Cubby's wizard UI (as good as it is) does not.
