EntryCompletion: Message if no or too many matches - autocomplete

I want to use EntryCompletion from pygtk[1].
I could not find a way to tell the user if there are no or too many matches.
Adding an extra gtk.Label would be possible, but does not look very nice. I guess other developer who use EntryCompletion want to display a message like "no matches found" to their users...
[1] http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkentrycompletion.html

There were too many things which were not available in EntryCompletion. I use a Label and an Entry now. I connect to the "changed" event and update the label.

Trying to add notifications to a crud operation in list view

I'm trying to add some notifications to the delete operation on one of my cruds, basically to inform the admin that while successful, the model has some lingering relationships that they may want to remove/deal with.
I've tried adding \Alert::add('warning', 'The text of the notification')->flash(); into the delete operation (and this does show up if the page is then refreshed) but isn't shown in the same way the "Item deleted successfully" one is.
The only option I can see is to not use $this->crud->delete($id); and build out all the functionality there on my own.
I also had a similar situation to you. What I did is, First I have written my condition in destroy function I have created if and in else conditions in if my conditional logic and in else "$this->crud->delete($id)". In my code, if the condition is not met then I have simply return a boolean('true|false') in the form of a string and catch that as result in "resources/views/vendor/backpack/crud/buttons/delete.blade.php" and make your custom notification in if condition.

Protractor Implementation in Angular2 without using ids

I have application in Angularjs2, and developers have not been using ids into it. Now I have to implement the Protractor on same application. Is there anyway to implement the Protractor without using "absolute XPath"?
Thanks in advance!
Please find a huge range of locator-possibilities on the official Protractortest API Page
Every element on a page needs to be uniquely identifiable... else the page wouldn't work, no matter which technology. Therefore with the help of any of the above provided locator-possibilities you'll always find the element you're looking for.
And there is never a need for XPath, except for this only one. (though there is an parentElementArrayFinder introduced in the meantime, so not even that one exception is valid anymore)
UDPATE
If you could use XPath, you can for sure use CSS-Locators.
Here some examples for locators:
$('div.class#id[anyAttribute="anyValue"] div.child.somewhere-below-div-point-class')
element(by.cssContainingText('div[data-index="2"]', 'select this option'))
Or as a specific example the "Learn More" of the "Tree List" section of https://js.devexpress.com/ :
treeListSection = element(by.cssContainingText('div.tab-content h2', 'Tree List')).getDriver();
learnMoreBtn = treeListSection.element(by.cssContainingText('a.tab-button','Learn More'));
learnMoreBtn.click();
Those are just examples, but there is always a way to do it.
If you provide some example-HTML in your Question, I can direct you towards a solution.
UPDATE 2
For getting the Parent Web Element, one could use getDriver() as well

AutoHotKey ControlGet

I have a script that is throwing and error when I issue a ControlGet.
OtPtVar := AfxWnd422
strMPP := Material Planning Profile
ControlFocus,%OtPtVar%,,%strMPP%
Control,Show,,%OtPtVar%,,%strMPP%
These all work but when it gets to the next line it throws an error:
ControlGet,sysList,List,,%OtptVar%,,%strMPP%
The control is a grid with five fields row number,Part,Description,Time,Lateness.
`ControlFocus,%OtPtVar%,,%strMPP%`
`Control,Show,,%OtPtVar%,,%strMPP%`
`ControlGet,sysList,List,,%OtPtVar%,,%strMPP%`
The error occurs on the last line.
Thank you.
After searching the AutoHotKey site I found to the following:
Those Afx window classes were custom classes distributed with early versions of MFC, before the "Common Controls" concept was introduced.
Many people have tried to "read" text from them but you CAN'T, not with messages anyway!
They're almost certainly owner-drawn - the text is not delivered by messages, it's "hand-drawn" into the window's DC
...
Messages are a dead-end I think - those who have pursued this problem must have already clocked up several hundreds of hours of monitoring message traffic between them!
So its not possible to get a hold of the control.
ControlGet's List subcommand can only handle standard listview controls, which usually have the class 'SysListView32'.
Did you try AccViewer just in case.
This link mentions textcapturex by Deskperience Software in case that helps.

There are theoretically process hacker methods,
but I'm not an expert on those, and wouldn't recommend such methods.
And yes, unfortunately when I really needed to, I used OCR once.
Potentially you can do OCR, recreate the text in the same font,
and check for an exact image match as a double-check.
Also, if possible, set the font to one where characters such as capital i and small L are unambiguous.

Re-add value into EXTRA_OECONF_<name> after it was removed by EXTRA_OECONF_remove_<name>

To configure a component I need to add --enable-feature into EXTRA_OECONF_somename
So I tried to do:
EXTRA_OECONF_append_somename = --enable-feature
But it did not help. After investigation it was found that the one of the third-party recipe contains the following line:
EXTRA_OECONF_remove_somename = --enable-feature
I can't modify the third-party recipe.
Is there a way to add --enable-feature into EXTRA_OECONF_somename
Thank you.
I'm afraid not. The _remove operations are always applied last so there is no way to undo them. I would say that the original recipe shouldn't be using it - _remove is intended for distro policy where you want to say "I don't care how this item got in the value, just remove it".
For preference the original recipe should instead it should be using PACKAGECONFIG to control addition (or not) of this feature.

RESTful urls for restore operation from a trash bin

I've been implementing a RESTful web service which has these operations:
List articles:
GET /articles
Delete articles (which should remove only selected articles to a trash bin):
DELETE /articles
List articles in the trash bin:
GET /trash/articles
I have to implement an operation for restoring "articles" from "/trash/articles" back to "/articles".
And here is the question. Ho do you usually do it? What url do I have to use?
I came up to the 2 ways of doing it. The first is:
DELETE /trash/articles
But it feels strange and a user can read it like "delete it permanently, don't restore".
And the second way is
PUT /trash/articles
Which is more odd and a user will be confused what this operation does.
I'm new to REST, so please advice how you do it normally. I tried to search in google but I don't know how to ask it right, so I didn't get something useful.
Another option could be to use "query params" to define a "complementary action/verb" to cover this "special condition" you have (given that this is not very easily covered by the HTTP verbs). This then could be done for example by:
PUT /trash/articles?restore=true
This would make the URI path still complaint with REST guideline (referring to a resource, and not encoding "actions" - like "restore") and would shift the "extra semantics" of what you want to do (which is a very special situation) to the "query parameter". "Query params" are very commonly used for "filtering" resources in REST, not so much for this kind of situation... but maybe this is a reasonable assumption given your requirements.
I would recommend using
PUT /restore/articles
or
PUT /restore/trash/articles
Late answer but, in my opinion, the best way is to change the resource itself.
For instance:
<article is_in_trash="true">
<title>come title</title>
<body>the article body</body>
<date>1990-01-01</date>
</article>
So, in order to remove the article from Trash, you would simple use PUT an updated version of the article, where is_in_trash="false".
