How to verify form elements like text with disappearing text in 'On-focus' field, out of focus fields? Also how to use javascripts and spec file together for testing in galen framework?
Is there any other framework for UI automation apart from Galen to perform styleguide testing?
Besides Galen you can use Applitools, but if you need more that 25 visual validations per week and more than one concurrent run, you have to pay.
For what you want to achieve you can use the Galen Javascript API.

I'm working on creating adaptive form on AEM. I'm new in AEM forms topic and I would like to create a form which includes validation type "please repeat the same email". I see that AEM adaptive forms doesn't have such feature by default. I'm thinking how can I achieve that. I don't know how to "attack" this problem. Should I create specific rules? Attach clientlib for that?
The validation can be achieved using the rule editor (either the visual or the code editor should be able to achieve your requirement) within the form. However, your business users need to have knowledge of using those editors if they wish to maintain/make changes going forward.
Alternatively, you can add it to a clientlib and attach it to the form. This would allow you to version control the code as well as provide an easy way for the authors to reuse this validation in multiple forms if necessary.
I create a site with AEM (Adobe Experience Manager). I have a page type as property-page. The property-page have a field type "Number of event in a page". I want to modify the number of event for all property page.
How to do that?
Thank you & kind regards,
There is no mass-update feature in AEM. Ask your developers for support. They either write you a little tool. Or they could generate a lot of curl-requests based on a query. Another option would be the AEM Groovy Console (https://github.com/OlsonDigital/aem-groovy-console). There you or your developers could write a script.
Finally you can do it one by one manually. Take a look into crx/de, which might be a little bit faster.
If you want to bulk update the page property you may use OTB Bulk Editor feature. Here is a video explaining how to use this.
There is a similar ACS tool for updating sling:resourceType property. You can extend and customize this tool if not happy with OTB feature.
I am trying to automate UI interactions for a C++ MFC application. I tried to find elements' automation ID using UISpy and UIAVerify tools. I am on win2k3.
There is a tab control, the automation ID of which is visible to UISpy but not to UIAVerify.
The issue is - it is not visible even to the C# code that I write using Project White framework or ui automation framework of .net 3.0.
I want to get handle to this control the way UISpy gets it. Is there any way I can find out how UISpy does it?
Thanks!!!
UISpy is likely using Microsoft UI Automation under the covers. You can see how this works from this example*. There are all kinds of conditions on AutomationElement which you can use to locate them.
I've only worked with WPF tabs, but found it really, really hard to locate them by Automation Id. Instead I've been using the AutomationName property, with the title on the tab as the value. Not sure if White supports this, but I'm pretty sure you can get the original AutomationElement out and use it as per the example.
You'll also probably be looking for something supporting the SelectionItemPattern (there's a SelectionItemIsSupportedProperty), and you'll need to use the pattern to select the tab and make it active before you can see anything in it.
Please comment if you need any more info. It might help to know what the structure of your container with tabs in is.

We are trying to make a document-managemnet / knowledge management portal using Plone 4. We would like a forms / structured data feature in our webapp with posibility of defining forms through the web, having workflows using these forms and being able to create reports from them (preferably in some format that facilitates simple and nice looking or skinnable printouts).
Any pointers to modules, documentation and/or literature would be great. Thanks.
Dexterity in combination with collections for reporting should get you what you need.
http://plone.org/products/dexterity
PloneFormGen is a good solution for through the web creation of standalone forms but as soon as you need your form to be workflowed, reviewed inside plone or later edited and updated then a "Content Type" is normally the most appropriate way to model this inside an CMS. Dexterity is the recommended way to build content types going forward. It has the ability to create and edit content types through the web.
For more indepth information of developing a Dexterity based solution see http://plone.org/products/dexterity/documentation/manual/developer-manual
Archetypes would be an alternative way to create content types.
Collections can be used for basic through the web reports. To make this work on the new fields in your content types you'd need to make the fields usable inside collections which I'll leave out of this explanation. For more advanced reports I'd suggest a simple BrowserView which lets you use any python you want to compose your report.
The add-on http://plone.org/products/uwosh.pfg.d2c product with PloneFormGen, is going to be the best fit for your situation.
uwosh.pfg.d2c creates content objects from your PloneFormGen form submissions. You can then use it with placeful workflows to give you a custom workflow on the submission.
If you'd rather not use placeful workflows, it also allows you to specify the content type it'll save the form to so you can have a different content type, with a different workflow on every form.
Dexterity would work too, but the TTW tool is not nearly where PloneFormGen is.

I am looking for a nice framework for developing a GUI builder Application. We have an application where 100Os of custom data entry forms and their print formats are required and each client will need some modifications on these. We have a developed a product using java based open source templatnig frameworks so that the layout and field definition are stored in database and rendered dynamically to the user. We also have an appication to design these forms but cannot do visual design.
Now I am trying to make a Visual Form Designer application for generating these forms. Can any one suggest some open source frameworks than can be used? Can I use Eclipse Visual Editor? Or is it better to develop some kind of parser for HTML using AntLR and then parse the HTML output from already existing GUI builders like Dreamweaver to get the desired output?
Thanks and Regards,

Oooh, great question!
I wouldn't know any readily availble framework that you can use. Depending on your needs however, I think rolling your own shouldn't be too hard.
First of all, you probably wouldn't want to give the users too much freedom. Freedom only gives them the opportunity to mess things up and make the resultant forms hard to use. I think from your description that the fields are pre-defined, so that the user only needs to customize which fields appear on a given form, and in what order. Order can be a simple thing like top-to-bottom. Some semi-intelligent automatic layouting could be used to conserve screen space. Adding a feature to group fields together would probably also be useful, and grouping would lead to some kind of standard "group" widget.
Accepting simplified functionality like this, you don't really need the flexibility of a full gui editor. A couple of listviews, maybe a property sheet and a preview window will be enough to give your users the functionality they need.
Of course, this only holds for screen forms. Print forms may be trickier to layout, as people may want to cram as many fields as possible into very little space so the entire form can fit on a single page or something. I really don't have any suggestions for you there, but maybe a similar "simplified" approach with some intelligent auto-layouting could work.
Overall, my advice would be: Keep It Simple! (S... ;)
