Problem Statement:
I as a user needs text box that selects from one of the existing options that is pulled from database and also give suggestions as the user is typing in the text box.
Possible Solution:
I know one possible solution is combo box but I do not user to have a large dropdown every time he wants to input in a text box and at same time I need user not to add new value. Also I want user to have suggestions for user from possible input values.
You can use AutoCompleteField to add automatic completion suggestions to various types of control such as Text.
For example:
String [] proposals = .... array of completion proposals
Text text = new Text(parent, SWT.BORDER);
new AutoCompleteField(text, new TextContentAdapter(), proposals);
As the user types in the text field matching proposals will be shown in a drop down. They can select the one they want or just continue to type.
Use ComboContentAdapter instead of TextContentAdapter to make this work with a Combo control.
You can also use ContentProposalAdapter if you need more control of the proposal behaviour, AutoCompleteField just provides a simpler interface to this.

I want a button from the command line bar to be visible or invisible depending on whether a record has been selected in the lookup field from the main form or not.
If no record has been selected, then the button should be displayed. Otherwise not.
For this problem, I want to use the Power Fx in PowerApps, but I haven't found a command yet, which shows me the content or something like that of the lookup field. Other field data types like text have worked without problems.
With Javascript, I already managed it without problems, but I would like to do it also in PowerFx if that should work.

The records come from the Table Company, where the attribute is Companyname.
Commands where I think they might work:
If([Selected Record];true;false);If(IsBlank([Selected Record]);true;false);If(IsBlankOrError([Selected Record]);true;false);If(IsEmpty([Selected Record]);true;false)
I guess there are 2 scenarios:
The Lookup form control element is a Dropdown with a Selected output property. Then your approach would work like If(IsBlankOrError(DataCardValue1.Selected),true,false)
If your form control element is a ComboBox then you could use If(CountRows(DataCardValue1.SelectedItems)>0,true,false) or the above described IsBlankOrError.
While working with Perl and Gtk2, I have to programmatically remove an option from a drop-down (ComboBox). While I'm aware that $combo_box->remove_text ($position) will do the trick in one shot, I need to remove the option based on its name (entered by the user).
I'm unable to find a method that can return the index of an item by its name. Could someone help out?
It's a bit unclear what you mean by "name"; combo box items don't have names. If the combo box is textual, then each item is made up of text, but that text isn't a name. You could have the same string in all items for instance, which would make it very unclear which one you want to delete.
I think you're going to have to implement it youself, by iterating over the combo box's underlying tree model. Then it's up to you if you want to just delete the first match, continue searching to find all of them.
my SAPUI5 app has an input field where the valid values must be obtained through a value help:
<Input showValueHelp="true" valueHelpOnly="true"
valueHelpRequest="onValueHelpRequest"
value="{myModel>/myField}"
The value help is realized with a SelectDialog, where the only options are
choose one or
cancel
The problem is now the following flow:
User opens value help dialog to choose one item and presses Confirm
Input field now displays chosen value
User wants to clear the input, because it's optional
Unfortunately,
sap.m.Input doesn't provide a clear button
sap.m.SelectDialog doesn't provide the possibility to add a custom button like Clear
The input is layed out in a SimpleForm with 2 columns, labels and input fields, so it would be hard to add a clear button
The Gateway entity set which feeds the value help dialog list doesn't have a totally empty line
I don't like the workaround to switch the SelectDialog to multiSelect just for the purpose that the user can choose "one or none". I also think it would be hard to explain to the user "if you want to remove the value, hold the control key and click on the previously selected item again".
Any ideas out there how to easily implement a clear button or something similar?
valueHelpOnly="false"
// with this user can either fill by F4 (assisted input) or by typing input..
and if you want to clear you can add a button and set the value to null
oInput.setValue("");
I want to validate that user cannot change spinner value manually by typing in text box of spinner.
For example a field sales multiple = x which I fetched from server not fix.
and displays a spinner field with limitation of like bellow
spinner.setMinValue = x
spinner.setIncrement = x
spinner.setValue = x
so user forcefully select a value which is multiple with x. e.g. if x=3 the user have to enter 3,6,9... and so on.
So here my issue is if I type a 2 in spinner field text box. GXT widget accept that value.
Posible solutions:
Is there any predefined properties of spinnerfield that i forget to set it?
Is there any predefined validator for this?
Can I set text box of spinner field read only by css so user cannot focus on text box but still change a value.
If none of above how to achieve manually?
i've searched a bit in the different classes and I don't see either a precise method which would set what you want.
Don't know about one, and even with one, a validator doesn't change the value in the input field, but maybe it's enough for your needs.
You can disable the text input by calling setEditable(boolean) on the spinnerfield (testSpinner.setEditable(false);)
Maybe you could search around the IntegerPropertyEditor, I haven't tried but as long as a new Spinner is like this:
SpinnerField<Integer> testSpinner = new SpinnerField<Integer>(new NumberPropertyEditor.IntegerPropertyEditor());
you can seen that there is another Constructor for IntegerPropertyEditor, which takes a "NumberFormat" param, but there is no NumberFormart() constructor, so I'm not sure about how you create your own one, but that could be an idea (to format numbers in the input to be a multiple of the increment).
The last option would be that Sencha forgot this possibility and that you should report this as a "bug" on the forum ?
Hope to have helped a bit, good luck :).
I have a data-grid and three column in it. one column is type of DataGridViewComboBoxCell, three items are in this grid combo box, now i have to invoke selection index changed event to change value according to combo value change in grid.
also help me to make a new event ....
please help...
thanks
I really can't understand your question.
But maybe these informations can help:
A ComboBoxColumn has always two kinds of controls. A presenting one (in most cases a label) which is individually for each row. And a editing one that will be shared for the whole column. So take a look into this documentation and the IDataGridViewEditingControl Interface.
Maybe these will give you a starting point on how to solve your problem.
In the Load event for the form, you need to get the cell that you want to add the handler to and cast it as a regular combo box. You can then add the event handler on SelectedIndexChanged, but it must be done programmatically, and depending on the language you are using.
