Going "back" from a form doesn't take me to the previous form but back to the main form. What am I doing wrong? Here's more detail:
I have a Command that takes you from the main form of my app to a "human setup" form. From that form if you click on a certain multibutton I go to another form (MaintenanceLevel) like this:
protected void onHumanSetup_MultiButtonMaintenanceAction(Component c, ActionEvent event) {
// Invoke the next level of form
showForm("MaintenanceLevel", null);
}
In the "MaintenanceLevel" form I have an Action set to Back, but when I click the menu bar to go back I end up back on the main-form and not the "human setup" where I want to be.
Edit:
Things have got a little worse!! Now when I go back in to view the Commands for my MaintenanceLevel form it's empty: it's forgetting the command I've entered :(
Here is my command setting for MaintenanceLevel form:
You don't need to define a back command. Remove it. Codename One automatically creates back commands for you.
The usage for this option is when you create a Button and place it within the form, then you want it to behave as a back button effectively (e.g. cancel button).

During script execution a pop up won't go away, and it happens only through QTP(v12.02).
I am trying DOM to bypass the problem, the pop up event was on selection of a drop down value, so I used some code to find the correct index and use DOM to select the value
Browser().Page().WebList().Object.selectedIndex = itmindx
With this the pop up issue got resolved, but now to complete the process,I need to click the Save button which is disabled as the page didn't refreshed when the value was selected ( tried refreshing through QTP, tab out etc--didn't worked as it loads the previous value).So I used the fire event method
Browser().Page().WebList().Fireevent "onchange"
with this I ran in to the same issue of multiple pop ups. Used the following
Browser().Page().WebList().Object.onchange()
but then QTP won't executes the next line unless I hit enter externally on the pop up(multiple pop up is resovled but now QTP is stuck. I don't want to use RS.... Any solutions?
To enable the button
Browser().Page().WebButton().Object.disabled = false
Or
To hit enter for the popup
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SendKeys("{ENTER}")
[ http://ss64.com/vb/sendkeys.html ]
Go for hitting the Enter button using SendKeys. It is not a good idea accessing DOM and change the state ourselves. There is a chance that you might miss potential defects!
I am writting a MS Word Add-in, I create a button to run a long time work with text. My work requires that during the time it is excuted, no change can be made by user ( typing, clicking, deleting ...) When this work is completed, user can type and click as usual.
I have used
this.Application.Options.AllowClickAndTypeMouse = false;
However, this doesn't work.
Who can help me!
First, your approach is wrong. The Click and Type is Word functionality and has nothing to do with disabling user Mouse clicks
(For more information about Click and Type refer to here).
Now for your question, here is one approach I would suggest:
If the user is not able to do any action, I would expect an appropriate message, so my idea is to create a modal form by using:
myForm.ShowDialog();
It should do the job and block the active document until it get closed.
I would also add a nice progress bar and "Close" button which you will enable when work has done.
I have a page with some generated HTML that survives the form's reset button. It is a problem because that HTML is inconsistent with the values in the cached default form.
In principle I guess it could be solved easily if I could force a hard reload from the server when the user presses the reset. However I see that the Chrome browser does not support the onReset event (in fact it is deprecated in HTML5).
But perhaps I could work around the missing onReload event. Can I re-define what happens when the reset button is pressed? In my case the apply and reset buttons are located in general HTML templates which I cannot change. Can I attach a function to the button from JavaScript?
You can replace the "reset" button , by a regular button.
And use the "onClick" event, to trigger a page reload.
EDIT
oops I missed the template part,
You can add a function to a button from Javascript.
First you need to "get" the button, with something like document.getElementbyId('resetButton');
If the button doesn't have a ID, you still can to retrieve it by doing javascript dom traversal
then you can add a function like :
var resetButton = document.getElementbyId('resetButton');
resetButton.onclick= reloadPage;
function reloadPage(){
window.location.reload();
}
I have a Grid object and added a [ (+) New Client ] button which I'd like to open a popup form to create the new client with a couple fields.
I've looked at the code examples in the website but haven't found how to do it (sorry if I've missed something).
This is the current page code:
function page_clients_listing($p){
$g = $p->add('Grid');
$g->addColumn('text','first_name');
$g->addColumn('text','last_name');
$g->addColumn('inline','telephone');
$g->addColumn('expander','comments');
$g->setSource('client');
$g->addButton('With Icon')->set('Add New Client')->setIcon('Plus');
}
Thanks in advance!
You can either create a popup or a dialog. Dialog is based on jQuery UI dialog implementation. Popups are likely to be blocked and are harder to control.
This is actually working for any object (you can apply to view, button, image, icon, etc), but I'll use button).
$b=$g->addButton('Add New Client')->setIcon('Plus');
$b->js('click')->univ()->frameURL($title,$url);
// OR
$b->js('click')->univ()->dialogURL($title,$url);
$url would most likely be returned by api->getDestinationURL(). The other page would be loaded and scripts on that page will be evaluated. Let's say you are on other page and now need to close the window.
$result = $this->addButton('Close')->js('click')->univ()->closeDialog();
closeDialog() returns a jQuery chain object pointing to a view which originally opened the frame. As a result if you do $result->hide(); then after dialog is closed, the original button ('add new client') will also be hidden.
Here is example to show some additional things you can do with frames, reloading and custom event handlers:

I have a site with five tabs using jquery-ui. Each loads an individual jQuery script. Now when I have loaded the second tab and go to the third tab the js out of the second tab still remains active and disturbs my actions in the third tab space.
Can someone explain me why the js out of the second tab still stays active when changing to the third tab and how I can avoid such behaviour?
Once you have loaded a script onto the page, it remains active until the page refreshes.
I don't know about unloading, but you can certainly disable the actions of a certain script depending on what it is. Could you post an example of the script causing the issues?
EDIT:
For example, if you have a script that is dependent on the tab you are in, you can condition the actions in the script with the tabs being at a certain index. A demo syntax:
//will only execute action if you are in current tab
if(tabs_ui_index == 0){
//do something
}
to get that variable (tabs_ui_index) you can do something like this:
$('#mytabs').bind('tabsselect', function(event, ui) {
tabs_ui_index = ui.index;
});
This code binds a "tabsselect" event to the element that is tabbed and sets the variable to the currently indexed tab every time a user changes a tab.
Also, you can unbind events, if you loaded a script that set a click event for a button that no longer exists, or that you are using for a different purpose now:
$("#mybutton").unbind("click");
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
