Bing map ajax v7 control does not show infoBox 'close' button - bing-maps

For some reason this property is ignored.
Below is my code, as you can see i don't use a custom html.
Any idea why?
edit: i'm using the BingTheme.
the reason i need this button is that for some reason sometimes the infoBox does not close automatically when clicking another place on the map
this.map.entities.push(new Microsoft.Maps.Infobox(currentLocation,
{
title: location.threatType,
description: layer.Options.InfoBoxText + "</br>IP: " + location.IP, pushpin: pin,
zIndex: 100,
showCloseButton: true
}));

The Bing Theme module overrides all styles to match the styles that are used by, now older, Bing Maps site. As such customizations, such as showing the close button are disabled. I, personally never liked this module and recommend not using it. You can create a lot more customizations using the control without this module.

Tinymce Call built-in plugin from custom menu item

I am adding menu buttons to a tinymce editor. In this interface there are multiple tinymce editors loaded on the page at once. The menu buttons I am adding all do some custom styling either using the formatter or by applying custom css classes to selected elements. As part of one of the items I need to also "remove all formatting" from the selection as well as add some text around the selection. There is already a built-in plugin that does this, so I would like to just call that function from my plugin.
I got this working by using jQuery to click the "remove all formatting" button, however since there are multiple editors on the page, this makes the page scroll from where the user is at, depending on which button actually gets clicked by jQuery.
I would rather not use this approach because i feel like it would be much cleaner and provide a better result to execute the remove formatting code from my plugin, but I am unsure how to access the function I need to call.
{
type: 'menuitem',
text: 'Sample Answer',
onAction: function() {
$('button[title|="Clear formatting"]').click(); //I would like to call this function here instead of jQuery clicking a button.
editor.formatter.apply('sample_answer');
}
},
So after some more digging, it appears that a certain amount of tinymce commands can be executed using editor.execCommand RemoveFormat is one of the commands you can use, so they made it easy on me for what I need to do.
It would still be nice to know if there was a way to execute other functions if I wanted to, but the execCommand function definitely solves this issue.
{
type: 'menuitem',
text: 'Sample Answer',
onAction: function() {
editor.execCommand('RemoveFormat');
editor.formatter.apply('sample_answer');
}
},

Add url redirect to mapbox icon

I am trying to allow a mapbox marker to be clicked on and when clicked it automatically takes you to a new link.
Is this possible?
I currently have a map of 10 locations and when loaded the zoom level shows all. When you click on a location, it zooms you into that location.
I now want it to take you through to a url on the click rather than zoom in, however I cant seem to find any documentation on how to do it.
I am aware that it can be done using a popup box which contains a url in it, but is there a way to remove the extra step.
Thank you
You can use click event on your layer to get the feature clicked and use a property of your feature to build your link :
map.on('click', 'layername', function(e) {
// Here you can access e.features[0] which is the feature cliked
// With that you can do whatever you want with your feature
});
Sébastien Bousquet's answer work when using a Symbol, but if using a Marker, you'll need to add your your own click eventlistener like https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/click_event.
marker.getElement().addEventListener('click', event => {
window.location.href = 'https://www.mapbox.com/';
});

Bing Maps Touch Responsiveness to Map Pins on Mobile

I've created a Bing Maps tool to view High Schools and Competitions in out state. The implementation works perfectly on the desktop. You can click on a map pin, and you see either the School information or the Competition information.
However, I noticed today that on my iPhone, the map pins do not respond, i.e. the Info Box does not open. I tried it in Chrome in Responsive mode, and I get the same thing.
I'm using the standard map pins on one and a FontAwesome map pin on the other, but neither is responsive. What am I missing?
https://www.mshsaa.org/Activities/ClassAndDistrictAssignments.aspx?alg=3&class=1
https://www.mshsaa.org/Activities/Scoreboard.aspx?alg=3&view=map
Well, I figured it out. I guess I didn't give enough details.
It turns out I had bound show and hide of the Infoboxes to mouseover and mouseout. I added binding to the "click" event, and that seems to work fine. I did also need to explicitly hide all previously opened boxes, but that was pretty easy to do:
Microsoft.Maps.Events.addHandler(thisPin, 'click', function () {
$(".Infobox").parent().hide(); /* This hides the other open Infoboxes */
infobox.setOptions({ visible: true })
});

Addon SDK way to make a dialog

What is the proper way to use the SDK to make a dialog (which is not anchored to the add-on bar, etc. but shows centered on screen)? It doesn't seem like there is any API for this important capability. I do see windows/utils has open but I have two problems with that:
The dialog opening seems to require "chrome" privs to get it to be centered on the screen (and I'd be expectant of add-on reviewers complaining of chrome privs, and even if not, I'd like to try to stick to the SDK way).
While I can get the DOM window reference of the new window/utils' open() dialog, I'm not sure how to attach a content script so I can respond to user interaction in a way that prompts (and can respond to) privileged behavior ala postMessage or port.emit (without again, directly working with chrome privs).
Ok, this answer should have been pretty obvious for anyone with a little experience with the SDK. I realized I can just use a panel. In my defense, the name "panel" is not as clear as "dialog" in conjuring up this idea, and I am so used to using panels with widgets, that it hadn't occurred to me that I could use it independently!
Edit
Unfortunately, as per Bug 595040, these dialogs are not persistent, meaning if the panel loses focus, the "dialog" is gone... So panel looks like it is not a suitable candidate after all... :(
Edit 2
I've since moved on and have gotten things working mostly to my satisfaction with sdk/window/utils and openDialog on whose returned window I add a load listener and then call tabs.activeTab.on('ready', and then set tabs.activeTab.url to my add-on local HTML file so the ready event will get a tab to which I can attach a worker. There is still the problem with chrome privs I suppose, but at least the main communications are using SDK processes.
Update to Edit 2:
Code sample provided by request:
var data = require('sdk/self').data,
tabs = require('sdk/tabs');
var win = require('sdk/window/utils').openDialog({
// No "url" supplied here in this case as we add it below (in order to have a ready listener in place before load which can give us access to the tab worker)
// For more, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/window.open#Position_and_size_features
features: Object.keys({
chrome: true, // Needed for centerscreen per docs
centerscreen: true, // Doesn't seem to be working for some reason (even though it does work when calling via XPCOM)
resizable: true,
scrollbars: true
}).join() + ',width=850,height=650',
name: "My window name"
// parent:
// args:
});
win.addEventListener('load', function () {
tabs.activeTab.on('ready', function (tab) {
var worker = tab.attach({
contentScriptFile: ....
// ...
});
// Use worker.port.on, worker.port.emit, etc...
});
tabs.activeTab.url = data.url('myHTMLFile.html');
});
if the panel loses focus, the "dialog" is gone...
It doesn't get destroyed, just hides, right? If so, depending on why it's getting hidden, you can just call show() on it again.
You'd want to make sure it's not being hidden for a good reason before calling show again. If there's a specific situation in which it's losing focus where you don't want it to, create a listener for that situation, then call if (!panel.isShown) panel.show();
For example, if it's losing focus because a user clicks outside the box, then that's probably the expected behaviour and nothing should be done. If it's losing focus when the browser/tab loses focus, just register a tab.on('activate', aboveFunction)
Simply adding ",screenX=0,screenY=0" (or any values, the zeroes seem to be meaningless) to the features screen seems to fix centerscreen.

open a pop up window without using javascript

how to open a pop up window in code behind(C#) without using javascript.
Besides the fact that popups piss off a lot of people, it is not really possible to do so (if you don't consider target="_blank") without using javascript. Code written in code behind only generates client side code (which can include javascript) or executes some serverside stuff.
There might be other workarounds using flash or silverlight but I'm not sure about that. Maybe if you clarify your goal a little bit more I can give a better solution to your problem.
That is impossible because of "The code behind runs on the server; you need the popup to appear on the client machine. Therefore your code behind can't trigger a popup".
Alternatively, you can show a panel in the page as pop-up window, by seting it's z-index and giving absolute position.
The code behind runs on the server; you need the popup to appear on the client machine. Therefore your code behind can't trigger a popup.
Also, if you use javascript you'll probably find that the client's popup blocker prevents the new window from appearing (unless the popup happens as a direct response to a click - without posting back - in which case you can use <a target="_blank"...> if you really don't like javascript).
I do not think that is possible . what you can do offcourse is to open a new window with defined small width/height and all menus are stripped...
Just add attributes to a link button or to a button in code behind. Try this code to page load or to the button event handler.
Button1.Attributes.Add("onclick","javascript: SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog
({ url: 'PopUp.aspx', title: 'Pop Up Window', width: 600, height: 500 }); return false;");
