Menu or MenuButton with separate click handler - gwt

I'm looking for a widget like this.
http://ppt.cc/RPfL
Clicking "View" and triangle (drop down icon) need to perform two different functions.
Clicking the triangle opening the menu.
I tried creating 2 buttons to emulate, but the 2 buttons have extra space in between them.
How can I eliminate the space between buttons or, is there a convenient way to accomplish this?
thank you all!!

An IconMenuButton (which is a sub class of IconButton) will provide what you need.
Menu menu = new Menu();
MenuItem newItem = new MenuItem("New");
MenuItem openItem = new MenuItem("Open");
MenuItem saveItem = new MenuItem("Save");
MenuItem saveAsItem = new MenuItem("Save As");
menu.setItems(newItem, openItem, saveItem, saveAsItem);
IconMenuButton menuButton = new IconMenuButton("View", menu);
Also check SmartGWT samples I've given in my comment and RibbonBar sample.

Press, hide button in ChartContainerContent in UI5 fiori

Hi all SAP UI5 and FIORI positive,
I have ChartContainer with button for graph and button for table. It is defined in xml file as:
<suite:ChartContainerContent id="idButtonChart"
icon = "sap-icon://bar-chart"
title = "Chart"
>
<suite:ChartContainerContent id="idButtonTable"
icon = "sap-icon://table-view"
title = "{i18n>table}">
<suite:content>
Let's say I want to hide some of these buttons which are placed inside ChartContainer. I have tried (in controller.js part):
this.getView().byId("idButtonChart").setVisible(false);
or
this.getView().byId("idButtonChart").setVisible(false);
But this code, hided graph but not button. Please, do you have any idea how to hide button? Or to trigger click event on button idButtonTable?
Thanks for any advices.
Have you found any good solution for this issue? I've been checking the SDK and I can't find a way to get those buttons in an straight way.
Anyway, you could do it using the following code -
var chartContainerContent = this.getView().byId('your chart id');
var chartContainer = chartContainerContent.getParent();
var aToolbarButtons = chartContainer._oToolBar.getContent();
var segmentedButton;
for(var i=0; i<aToolbarButtons.length; i++){
var button = aToolbarButtons[i];
if(button.getMetadata()._sClassName === "sap.m.SegmentedButton"){
segmentedButton = button;
break;
}
}
//segmentedButton.getButtons()
Once you get the buttons you can setVisible(false) to the one you want.
Of course this is not the best, but the chartContainer doesn't provide any public function to get the buttons of the chart.
I try to understand the issue. You define 2 charts in your example.
The buttons are usually used to switch the display to the corresponding chart.
How are you going to switch between the 2 charts if you hide the corresponding button?
A little late but I guess an .updateChartContainer() after the .setVisible should do the trick:
this.getView().byId("idButtonChart").setVisible(false);
this.getView().byId("<NAME OF THE CONTENT CONTAINER>").updateChartContainer();

GtkToolbar: How to add Toolitem to toolbar using PyGObject

How can I add icons to a GtkToolbar using PyGObject?
I can create the toolbar and an icon without any problems:
self.toolbar = Gtk.Toolbar()
self.item = Gtk.ToolItem()
But adding the item to the toolbar doesn't seem to work like this (Found this in the PyGTK documentation):
self.toolbar.Container.add(self.item)
The solution is actually pretty simple:
self.button = Gtk.ToolButton(Gtk.STOCK_ABOUT)
self.toolbar.insert(self.button, 0)
User button instead of item and then choose an icon from this list: http://python-gtk-3-tutorial.readthedocs.org/en/latest/stock.html
Then use .inset with the object and the position (in this case 0, meaning the first item in the toolbar).

How to set a Popup to be always visible on the top in GWT

I have a loading popup that I need to display on the top of the page, even if the user scroll down.
What I tried so far is to set the popup position as follows
setPopupPosition(Window.getClientWidth()/2 , 0);
The popup shows up on the absolut top.
The situation can be resolved easily if you view it from a different angle: Not the popup position should adjust to the page - instead, the page should scroll behind the centering popup, e.g.:
final ScrollPanel scrollPanel = new ScrollPanel();
RootLayoutPanel.get().add(scrollPanel);
pagePanel = new FlowPanel();
scrollPanel.setWidget(pagePanel);
pagePanel.add(...);
Now add the entire page contents to pagePanel (instead of adding them directly to rootPanel).
Then you can create popups like this:
final PopupPanel popupPanel = new PopupPanel();
popupPanel.add(...);
popupPanel.center();
You'll still have to re-center the popup when the window resizes, but apart from that, the popup will always be at the center in front of the scrolling page.
To achieve this you can implement Window.addWindowScrollHandler. It will always be on top whatever you do.
DialogBox dialog = new DialogBox();
dialog.setWidget(...);
Window.addWindowScrollHandler(new ScrollHandler() {
#Override
public void onWindowScroll(ScrollEvent event) {
dialog.setPopupPosition((Window.getClientWidth() - widthOfDialog) / 2, event.getScrollTop());
}
});
Hope this helps.. Thanks..
The solution that worked for me is this
setPopupPosition(Window.getClientWidth()/2 , Window.getScrollTop());

GWT - Can you nest FormPanels inside FormPanels?

I'm trying to nest a FormPanel inside another FormPanel. It seems that any field in the nested panel is never rendered.
This screenshot is produced by the code below it:
TabItem tabItem = new TabItem("Tab Item");
FormPanel formPanel = new FormPanel();
formPanel.setHeading("Form Panel");
formPanel.setFrame(true);
TextField textField = new TextField();
textField.setFieldLabel("Text Field");
FormPanel nestedPanel = new FormPanel();
nestedPanel.setHeading("Nested Panel");
TextField nestedField = new TextField();
nestedField.setFieldLabel("Nested Field");
nestedPanel.add(nestedField);
TextField anotherField = new TextField();
anotherField.setFieldLabel("Another Field");
formPanel.add(textField);
formPanel.add(nestedPanel);
formPanel.add(anotherField);
tabItem.add(formPanel);
tabPanel.add(tabItem);
Can anyone explain why the nested field does not show in the nested panel?
I've also tried using a CaptionPanel instead of a FormPanel as the nested panel, but the caption panel does not show the field label.
Any suggestions as to how I can get this to work would be most welcome. Thank you :)
As Jason mentioned, <form> cannot be nested. The GXT FormPanel draws a form as part of how it works, so consider drawing this layout in another way.
To emulate the appearance of the FormPanel, there are two basic steps.
To get the header, border, create a ContentPanel, and add the content to that
To get the GXT 2 layout of drawing the field labels, use a FormLayout in the content panel.
This will look something like this (from your example)
//...
ContentPanel nestedPanel = new ContentPanel(new FormLayout();
nestedPanel.setHeading("Nested Panel");
TextField nestedField = new TextField();
nestedField.setFieldLabel("Nested Field");
nestedPanel.add(nestedField);
//...
The outer field will still manage any binding, and the nested field will look as if they were in a FormPanel. If not using other features of the FormPanel, it may in general make more sense to use a ContentPanel (or LayoutContainer, if you don't want the border/header) with a FormLayout.

Add dropdown menu in a view's ToolBarManager

I want to add several dynamically created actions to a view. This works to add them to the View Menu in the top right corner:
private void fillActionBars() {
IActionBars bars = getViewSite().getActionBars();
IMenuManager manager = bars.getMenuManager();
IMenuManager myMenu = new MenuManager("Menu title", MY_MENU_ID);
// add actions to myMenu
manager.add(myMenu);
bars.updateActionBars();
}
This works fine. However, I want to add the actions to a dropdown menu in the toolbar instead (so the user can see them immediately). If I replace the third line with
IToolbarManager manager = bars.getToolBarManager();
the menu doesn't show up.
You're right, this doesn't work. A workaround that works fine, not using a MenuManager but a drop down action and a menu creator:
IActionBars bars = getViewSite().getActionBars();
IToolbarManager manager = bars.getToolBarManager();
Action act=new Action("Menu title",SWT.DROP_DOWN){};
act.setMenuCreator(new MyMenuCreator());
manager.add(act);
class MyMenuCreator implements IMenuCreator{
public Menu getMenu(Control ctrl){
...
}
}
You need to use IToolbarManager.add(IContributionItem) with a class that implements IContributionItem. See org.eclipse.ui.internal.FastViewBarContextMenuContribution as an example.
