Is it possible to hide the cursor if the window looses the focus ? e.g. 'windmove-left moves the focus one window left but the cursor can still be seen in the windows that is no longer active.
That's the purpose of user option cursor-in-non-selected-windows.
cursor-in-non-selected-windows is a variable defined in ‘C source code’.
Its value is t
Automatically becomes buffer-local when set.
Documentation:
Non-nil means show a cursor in non-selected windows.
If nil, only shows a cursor in the selected window.
If t, displays a cursor related to the usual cursor type
(a solid box becomes hollow, a bar becomes a narrower bar).
You can also specify the cursor type as in the `cursor-type' variable.
Use Custom to set this variable and update the display.
You can customize this variable.

I have the following requirement (sorry, but I'm quite new to JavaFX).
I need to have a custom TextArea that supports not only entering text but also entering a kind of macro.
This Macro has a unique ID and an associated text. The text should be displayed in the TextArea but with an e.g. light grey background. This is because it should behave as a unit.
You should not be able to click inside the macro and add a char there. The cursor should be placed behind the macro. And is you press just backspace the complete macro should be deleted.
If you call something like getRawContent() of the custom TextArea you should get a placeholder for the macro and not the associated text like:
getRawContent()
==> "This is text part one MACRO:132 This is text part two"
If the macro 132 has the following text associated "XXX123XXX", you will see inside the custom TextArea:
This is text part oneXXX123XXXThis is text part two"
But the text XXX123XXX has a light grey background to show that this text is associated with a macro and could be deleted, copied, and so on as a whole unit. Could be italic as well as in the above line. Should be only a bit different to the generic text.
Could someone assist me?
My Custom Control works now. I used an Eventfilter to prevent the internal Eventhandler to process the keypressed events in order to set the caret position behind a macro or delete the complete macro when DEL or BACKSPACE is pressed, this works.
And I use a Mouselistener to prevent that someone clicks and set caret position inside a macro.
So now I have only the problem left to mark the text somehow that the user can see what is normal text and what macro content.
Maybe I close here and open a new question.
Have a study of Material-UI's Autocomplete with the playground on https://material-ui.com/components/autocomplete/, I really cannot see any difference with/without includeInputInList property? The document says 'If true, the highlight can move to the input.' I tried it, highlight never move to the input field.
The includeInputInList has 2 associated unit tests.
The description of the tests says:
it considers the textbox the predessor of the first option when pressing Up
it considers the textbox the successor of the last option when pressing Down
This means that with includeInputInList, when you have the focus on the component and you press key up, if it's the first item, the focus will go to the textbox (the input element), before continuing on the items. And if you press down and it's the last item, the focus will also go to the textbox.
Without that option the focus stays on the displayed items and never goes to the textbox, it jumps from the first to the last item (key up), and from the last to the first (key down) while you have the focus on them and just press key up or key down.
You can try on the example provided on the Material UI docs: press tab until you are on the MUI component, and then play with key up or down, with and without the includeInputInList prop on the Autocomplete component.
I have a table cell of fixed large size, and in it is nothing but a Plain Text Content Control, whose default placeholder text "Click here to enter text" takes up only a small portion of that table cell.
The problem is that if the user clicks anywhere in the cell but outside of the control's placeholder text, then starts typing, the entered text will not be part of the control and will not be subject to the control's style or any other control properties.
So - other than adding a lot of dummy characters to the placeholder text, which doesn't seem to be predictable in its word-wrap behavior, is there a way to make the control's placeholder text (or, in general, its click-boundary) fill the entire table cell?
UPDATE actually there were some carriage returns after the control that I was not aware of; after deleting those, clicking anywhere in the cell as long as the x coordinate if the click is greater than or equal to the leftmost x coordinate of the control will edit the control text value as desired. If you click leftward of the control, you will end up editing whatever fixed text exists to the left of the control, i.e. a fixed text label. Still strange. The workaround here was to split cells for all multi line text entry areas, such that the label is on its own cell, and the control is now at the leftmost edge of its cell.
Content controls do not support something like expanding to the surrounding container. They will always use only the space that is required to render their content.
If you want to prevent users from clicking and typing text outside of the control, you could use the following approach:
Put a rich text content control around your table/table row/cell
Put the plain text content control as a nested content control in the table cell (the plain text content control must be non-vanishing for this to work)
Make the outer content control read-only
Now the only thing the user is allowed to edit is the inner plain text content control. The downside of this approach is that your document now contains areas that are locked. This has an impact on usability, first, because, it may not be obvious to the user why certain areas cannot be modified, and second, because a lot of standard actions do no longer work if part of the selection is locked (e.g. Select All > Update ToC).
Whenever I write an auto-completed function call and start typing something, a black rectangle is drawn around the input, like below:
Why does eclipse do this and how can I turn it off? I've looked the different editor settings but I haven't found anything that describes this behavior.
This is called place holder. Keep caret anywhere in between the class methods and inside the class body and type public and press Ctrl + Space and select public_method option. Then you will get a template looks like this:
Here return_type is covered with rectangle and highlighted this means you can type the return type as void, int etc and this will appear in this rectangle box.
Use TAB key to traverse next place holders i.e name is also covered with rectangle box. After typing the return type when you press TAB key you will jump to next place holder(i.e name).
You can go back to the previous place holder by pressing Shift + TAB key. Green color caret represent the end of place holders.
While you are in any place holder if you press Enter key you will be directly taken to the end of the place holder(i.e green caret).
Check the template grammar for public_method template here Windows > Preferences > Java > Editors > Templates
It looks as
public ${return_type} ${name}(${}) {
${cursor}
}
You can edit this. If you remove ${cursor} then green colour caret will not appear and so on.
You can turn if off by
Deleting template(Not recommended)
Editing template grammer
Or just by pressing Enter key(Recommended)
Also check the grammar of static_final template. Here you will get the drop down menu along with rectangular box.
I have a row in a tablex that I want to hide based on a condition. I can do this with the visibility property and also using CanShrink as well is an option.
I've tried both of these and the best I can do is hide the row (make it invisible), but it keeps the whitespace it takes up - I need to remove the whitespace too so if it is not shown that it doesn't take up paper/viewing space.
I have also made the height of the row very small and put cangrow=true so that that if i populate the field with data based on an expression it will grow to the right size but this is not ideal because there is still 0.03125in of space for the row that is always shown (minimim height) and if it grows it grows to fit the text but not neccessarily the set size I want.
I thought I had done this before in an older version of RS but I can't seem to get it to work correctly in this version (2008).
Any ideas?
Try to set the Hidden property of the Static Row Group under the Details Group, in this case the whole row will disappear instead of the content of the textboxes.
If you are using Report Builder, you need to switch to Advanced Mode (make sure that the Properties and the Grouping windows are displayed, go to the upper right side of the Grouping window and press the black triangle):
Click on the second "Static" item under the "(Details)" group and you can set the Hidden property on the Properties window.
Link to MSDN sample
A simpler way to get to this option for hiding a row is to right-click on the row header and select "Row Visibility". From there you will get a dialog where to can enter an expression.
I was able to make the rows go away by setting the following 2 properties
textbox.CanShrink
row.Hidden
I played w/ row.HideIfNoRows and it seems to have no effect in accomplishing the desired outcome described by op.
Click on textbox, these one is in the properties of the textbox
(if there are multiple columns, I assume you will have to make this setting for each cell/textbox, in my case, I only had 1 column)
CanShrink=false
For the next property, you have to go into ADVANCED MODE by clicking the down arrow at the right side of the Row Groups/Column Groups pane.
Click on the Row containing the line you would like to hide.
The Hidden property can be found in properties pane...
This is an alternate way to set Hidden, as opposed to right clicking the Row Header in the actual Tablix.
Hidden= <expression describing when you want the row hidden hidden>
One other note - If you right click the Row Header and choose 'Row Visibility' you get a dialgue. the Row Property dialog has a caption "Show or Hide Based on an expression".
The actual behaviour is It will HIDE the row if the expression evaluates to TRUE.
IMHO - this is misleading, at best ambiguous.
Once you understand the property you are actually setting is called HIDDEN, then this makes sense. Until then, I certainly assumed I was setting a property called Visisble... FWIW....
On the empty row you want to hide, go to the text box properties and go to expressions -> visibility, then show or hide based on an expression and use
=iif(first(Fields!.Value = ""),true,false)
Setting row visibility logic is important, but I've learned that sometimes a blank row will still appear, even though its contents are hidden. To solve this, I had to do the following non-intuitive steps, but I did in fact succeed in completely suppressing unwanted white space.
In the cell in the tablix region, use the Insert > Rectangle menu option.
In the rectangle, use the Insert > Textbox menu option. Resize as needed.
In the textbox, right-click and enter a placeholder.
Set the value of the placeholder expression to whatever you need.
