How to add IDs for Tabs in Tabpanel in GWT? - gwt

I am trying to set ids for tabs in the tabpanel. The code that I have written is:
Panel dateTab = new VerticalPanel();
queryTabPanel.addTab("Date", dateTab);
where queryTabPanel is another TabPanel.
My Problem: is to set Ids for the Tabs. So that I can click on the 'Date' tab in the tabpanel.
What I have tried : is by manipulating DOM like :
DOM.setElementAttribute(productTab.getElement(), "id", "Swagatika");
But that does not seem to be working. :(
Has anyone any idea if that is possible, if so How difficult is to add IDs.
Thanks in advance.

For testing using WebDriver, you're supposed to use a special module that <inherits name="com.google.gwt.user.Debug"/> (see "Renaming module" in the GWT DevGuide), and call ensureDebugId on your widgets.
In your case, after calling queryTabPanel.ensureDebugId("queryTabPanel"), the first tab would have an ID of gwt-debug-queryTabPanel-bar-tab1 (see TabPanel.html#onEnsureDebugId for the details).

In addition to the Debug flag you need to use TabLayoutPanel.getTabWidget(...) and use ensureDebugId on it like the following:
SimpleLayoutPanel newTabPanel = new SimpleLayoutPanel();
tabLayoutPanel.add(newTabPanel, "Date Tab");
tabLayoutPanel.getTabWidget(newTabPanel).ensureDebugId("MyDateTab");
Notice that setting the debug ID before adding the Widget to the tabLayoutPanel won't have any effect. Also make sure to use getTabWidget(..) and not getWidget(...).

Microsoft Access Where Condition doesn't works in a subform

I built a form called: "clientlist":
I put a macro with where condition on click:
="IDclient_logindata=" & [Maschere]![clientlist]![IDclient]
this means that when I click on an id client, access will open another form with the respective IDclient. For example if I click on IDclient 3:
it open another form called "client_logindata" filter to IDclient_logindata 3.
Then, I built a navigational form:
using clientlist as subform. But when I click a record, any record, it open every time the client_logindata form with IDclient_logindata form = 1, why it doesn' works in a subform?
Design View of "Navigation Form":
Solved in this way: ="IDclient_logindata=" & [IDclient]
When using a subform, references to controls need to be relative to the main form where the subform is treated as a child control.
Consider adjusting the conditional to the following structure. Do note this is the English version:
="IDclient_logindata=" & Forms!myMainForm!mySubform.Form!mySubformControl
Or specifically tailored to yours (be sure to get exact spelling of all objects):
="IDclient_logindata=" & Forms!NavigationForm!clientlist.Form!IDclient
The OP has found a working solution which is much simpler than what follows. However, I was still interested to see if we could get something on the original model to work, and I'd guess that for users attempting to achieve the same thing using VBA rather than embedded macro's the following may still be useful.
The issue with the code in the original question is that the relevant form isn't open at the 'top level' but as a subform.
Form "normal" subforms, you'd refer to the control on the subform like this:
Forms!navform!clientlist.form!IDclient
Where navform is the name of the outer form. Or in the generalised case, like this:
Forms!Mainform!Subform1.Form!ControlName
However, the "Navigation Form" Wizard, when dragging subforms onto the Add New tab in Layout view doesn't name the subforms nicely. So I had to code it this way:
Forms![Navigation Form]!NavigationSubform.Form!ControlName
To my surprise this code continued to work when I added further forms within the Navigation Forms tabs and had controls named the same as one in question. I guess NavigationSubform automatically points to the tab with the current focus.

Element Checkbox got its label always to the left and needs a link

How can I change the positions of checkbox and label and how to implement a link into the label?
$acceptGTC = new Element\Checkbox('AGBs');
$acceptGTC->setLabel('I Accept the GTC (show it).');
$this->add($acceptGTC);
regards
n00n
meanwhile:
I tried to overwrite the view helper for checkboxes.
copied
*/vendor/zendframework/zend-form/src/View/Helper/FormCheckbox.php
to
*/module/Application/src/Application/View/Helper/FormCheckbox.php
added to module.config.php
'viewhelpers' => array('checkbox'=>'Application\View\Helper'),
But it still uses the original one...
Do I have to tell zend to use my FormCheckbox?
I don't exactly know the way you are rendering your Zend_Form_Element, but in order to enhance the rendering as you want you should build a custom decorator, and add it to this element.
You should read the Zend documentation on Zend_Form_Decorators, everything is quite well explained and should lead you to a fancy solution.

Line breaks in Zend Navigation Menu labels

I have a need to create a <br/> tag in the display label for a menu item generated using Zend_navigation, but don't seem to be able to find a way to do so.
My navigation item is defined in the XML config as:
<registermachine>
<label>Register your Slitter Rewinder</label>
<controller>service</controller>
<action>register</action>
<route>default</route>
</registermachine>
I want to force a tag in the output HTML between 'your' and 'slitter', such that it appears on two line as below:
Register your
Slitter Rewinder
However, I can't seem to do it. obviously using in the XML breaks parsing, and using html entities means that the lable is displayed as:
Register your <br/>Slitter Rewinder
Has anyone had experience of this that can offer advice?
Thanks in advance!
there is no such option built-in you have to use a partial
$partial = array('menu.phtml', 'default');
$this->navigation()->menu()->setPartial($partial);
echo $this->navigation()->menu()->render();
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.view.helpers.html#zend.view.helpers.initial.navigation.menu
you may also try a hack with <label><![CDATA[Menu label<br/>Second line]]></label>
I found a (hacky) solution:
I updated my navigation.xml to use {br} tokens wherever a <br/> tag is required, and then amended the base Zend/View/Helper/Navigation/Menu.php file as follows:
within htmlify function, changed
$this->view->escape($label)
to
str_replace("{br}", "<br/>", $label)
I could (and probably will) override the Zend Library Menu View Helper with my own at some point, but this at least cover it for now.
there is a escapeLabels boolean used to convert html tags and it's true by default.
You can set your navigation like this
$this->navigation()
->menu()
->escapeLabels(false)
->...

How to provide a custom component in the existing Web page Editor Palette

I want to add a new custom component in the Web page Editor Palete named "myHTMLComponent".
So, as soon as user opens any html page with WPE, myHTMLComponentM should be present there.
How can I do the needful, moreover this component will as well need to generate the code changes accordingly. How to achieve the desired result.
Is there any input I can get for this.
I already created standardmetadata tag, but what next!
Finally, I found the solution of the problem.
For adding new categories in the palette, we need to use pagedesignerextension in plugin.xml as following -
<extension
point="org.eclipse.jst.pagedesigner.pageDesignerExtension">
<paletteFactory
class="com.comp.myeditor.palette.CustomEditorPaletteFactory">
</paletteFactory>
</extension>
Where CustomEditorPaletteFactory will be extending AbstractPaletteFactory. Here in createPaletteRoot(), we can add our category.
public PaletteRoot createPaletteRoot(IEditorInput editorInput){
PaletteRoot paletteRoot = new PaletteRoot();
paletteRoot.add(createStandardComponents());
return paletteRoot;
//return null;
}
private static PaletteContainer createStandardComponents() {
PaletteDrawer componentsDrawer = new PaletteDrawer("CustomHTMLComponent");
TagToolPaletteEntry paletteEntry = new TagToolPaletteEntry(
new FormPaletteComponent(".....);
componentsDrawer.add(paletteEntry);
return componentsDrawer;
}
This will create the component category in the palette and we can add as many components as needed using the componentsdrawer.
For adding a new category in the existing one -
Add this in the constructor -
super();
this._paletteContext = PaletteItemManager.createPaletteContext(file);
this._manager = PaletteItemManager.getInstance(_paletteContext);
Then use Palette Grouping like this -
PaletteGroup controls = new PaletteGroup("CUST HTML");
super.add(controls);
ToolEntry tool = new SelectionToolEntry("CUST Cursor",
"Cursor DESCRIPTION");
controls.add(tool);
setDefaultEntry(tool);
//Custom Marquee
controls.add(new MarqueeToolEntry("Marquee", "Marquee Desc"));
controls.add(new PaletteSeparator());
//This class maintins or load all categories features
controls.add(new CustomComponentToolEntry("Custom Component", "Custom Component Descrition",
This really is a good start but I can't find any tutorial or book that get deeper in this matter. For instance, I don't want to replace the default palette but this code does with "new PaletteRoot()" and I lost my HTML tags. Also I want that my new custom components behave as HTML Tags using Drag and Drop, but I don't know how?????????
More Info:
I discovered this code, that was very helpful, whereas file come from ((FileEditorInput)editorInput).getFile()
PaletteRoot paletteRoot = DesignerPaletteRootFactory.createPaletteRoot(file);
This is very interesting topic and I think we are pioneer documenting this feature of eclipse. Here other good point, I want to personalize the tag... e.g. something similiar what I want to achieve is add a tag like "MY TRUEFALSE TAG" and then when is selected and place it in the HTML Designer, I want to become something like <select><option>YES</option><option>NO</option></select> and I guess that I can achieve it by doing something with the tagTransformOperation extension... if you know how to implement it, please let me know. also there is others extensions(tagConverterFactory, elValueResolver). I am guessing here! please I would like your help.
<extension point="org.eclipse.jst.pagedesigner.pageDesignerExtension">
<paletteFactory ...>
<tagTransformOperation id="plugin.tagTransformOperation1XXXXXX">...
SOLUTION?? (Chinese) -solved with tagConverterFactory

Looking for a Combo(Viewer) in SWT/JFace which supports autocomplete

I'm looking for a Combo(Viewer) in SWT/JFace which supports autocomplete / type-ahead, i.e. the user can enter a couple of characters and the drop down list should show all matching elements.
You can also check out the org.eclipse.jface.fieldassist.AutoCompleteField class. It's not a combo, just a text field, but it adds auto complete functionality as if it were a combo very easily. You can do something as simple as this:
Text textField = new Text(parentComposite, SWT.BORDER);
new AutoCompleteField(textField, new TextContentAdapter(), new String[]
{"autocomplete option 1", "autocomplete option 2"});
I don't think there is anything like this built into either Combo or ComboViewer.
As thehiatus suggests org.eclipse.jface.fieldassist.AutoCompleteField is probably the best place to look for this, however, there is support for Combos:
new AutoCompleteField(combo, new ComboContentAdapter(), new String[]
{"item0", "item1"});
You may be interested in Eclipse's "Content Assist" feature. You can see it in action when using the Eclipse IDE's Java editor. As you edit source code, you will sometimes see a drop-down menu with phrases that complete what you were typing. (Note that you can press Ctrl+Space to force the drop-down menu to be displayed.)
You can implement this in your own SWT/JFace application as well. The "Java Developer's Guide to Eclipse" has an sample application that implements Content Assist. The sample application is a SQL editor, and it is described in Chapter 26, "Building a Custom Text Editor with JFace Text." There's actually an online overview of the chapter here. The sample SQL editor project, com.ibm.jdg2e.editor.jfacetext.sql, can be found here.
On the other hand, if you want to create your own Combo widget and auto-populate it based on input that is being entered, then this might not be very applicable. I'm thinking the org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ComboViewer might be helpful (though I'm not positive).
Check out: http://sourceforge.net/projects/swtaddons/
I use it in my project (with a little tweak).
It's really dead easy to set this up.
As thanks to paz117's comment, thought I'd share the code to make this work:
String[] proposals = new String[controller.model().size()];
for (int i = 0; i < controller.model().size(); i++)
proposals[i] = controller.model().get(i).getAppropriateName();
comboViewer = new ComboViewer(parent, SWT.NONE);
comboViewer.setContentProvider(new ArrayContentProvider());
comboViewer.setLabelProvider(new AppropriateLabelProvider());
comboViewer.setInput(_controller.model());
// additionally, configure the comboViewer arbitrary
new AutoCompleteField(comboViewer.getCombo(), new ComboContentAdapter(), proposals);
The only minor nuisance is that you have to separately populate the model of ComboViewer and AutoCompleteField separately, but that can be at least automated via a static utility method or something similar.
As reference for future visitors, the AutocompleteComboInput (SWT Add-on), can also be a way to achieve this.
Code snippet for screenshot (refer to documentation link above for the code template):
import net.sf.swtaddons.autocomplete.combo.AutocompleteComboInput;
...
subjectCodeCombo = new Combo(tab3Composite, SWT.DROP_DOWN);
// other code modifying Combo appearance here...
// returns a String[] of items retrieved from database
String[] subjectCodeArray = dbQuery.subjectsToArray();
subjectCodeCombo.setItems(subjectCodeArray);
subjectCodeCombo.setText("- SELECT -");
new AutocompleteComboInput(subjectCodeCombo);
The add-on requires all JARs below to be added to the Library: (more info)
eclipse-equinox-common-3.5.0.jar
net.sf.swtaddons_0.1.1_bin_src.jar (sourceforge)
