Using flutter inspector I'm not able to find a list of widget's properties like font size, font family, border color, padding, margin ...
For example, in a Text widget the available properties are textDirection, textAlign, size, and a few more, like in screenshot below:
I would like to see all computed properties, like browsers do:
Of course they are different tools, but i would like to know if there is a way to check more properties.
I also found a code-based solution, to access widget properties after it has been rendered, like in this question:
How to get the TextFormField text color,fontsize, etc using controller in flutter?
Is that the best way to achieve the result? Is it possible to use Keys in a way which allows to access widget properties without using a custom widget (i would like to save the reference to a Text, Row, etc. widgets and print all their properties)?
I also tried to use toDiagnosticsNode and toStringDeep methods as follows (_textWidget is of course a Text widget created above, this code is called when i click a button):
var test = _textWidget.toDiagnosticsNode().getProperties();
if (test != null && test.isNotEmpty) {
test.forEach((element) {
print(element.toStringDeep());
});
}
Is it possible to play a bit with a recursive function to get all the properties? All i can see with that code is the text displayed.
I've got a situation where I create a report based on jrxml-files generated programmaitically and a style template with a given name and given style names. This works fine up to the point where there are conditional styles. Every example I found just uses ConditionalStyles to change some value like setting a different backcolor for specific situations. This can't be done here since there is no way of knowing what separates an even row style from an odd row style. Like wheter an odd row will get a gray background or an even row will get a green foreground and a black bottom pen.
What I tried or looked at:
Using Conditional Styles - There seems to be no way of defining a style reference just to change style values
Using a Variable for the style name - The variable didn't get evaluated
Creating a style with 2 ConditionalStyles using even and odd styles as parent styles - these were ignored when creating the jrtx-file
So... is there a way to create alternate styled rows using style references? If yes how it is done?
As there seems no solution to this, we had to change the structure of the style-files to include the conditional style instead of doing this in the document.
When walking this path and trying to change or create these style-files programmatically, be aware that in the JRXmlTemplateWriter that comes with Jasper, the method toWriteConditionalStyles is implemented as:
protected boolean toWriteConditionalStyles() {
return false;
}
Which is unfortunate. You'll have to use your own Exporter that changes this behavior.
Simply the way of knowing what separates an even row style from an odd row style.
Even row will satisfy the condition
(($V{REPORT_COUNT}%2) == 0)
Odd row will satisfy the condition
(($V{REPORT_COUNT}%2) != 0)
Then you can use a Conditional Styles with above conditions
I would like to print a GWT widget which extends Composite. This widget is composed of a grid whose cells are built with a ListDataProvider. When the user clic on a button print, the widget to print is built. Once this is done, I launch the print:
Element element = widgetToPrint.getElement();
String content = element.getInnerHTML();
print(content);
public static native boolean print(String content)
/*-{
var mywindow = window.open('', 'Printing', '');
mywindow.document.write('<html><head><title>Test</title>');
mywindow.document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" href="/public/stylesheets/ToPrintWidget.css" type="text/css" media="all"/></head><body>');
mywindow.document.write(content);
mywindow.document.write('</body></html>');
mywindow.print();
return true;
}-*/;
So, here is my problem:
The window which is opened by this method contains the core of the widget (built by the UI Binder), but some children are missing...
If I look inside the ListDataProvider and its related FlowPanel, the data are consistent, i.e. I've got several item in my list and in the flowPanel.
Consequently, it should be visible on the printing window...
I thought that maybe the problem was related to the method used to print the widget, so I also tried to add this widget into a dialogbox just before launching the print, to see if the widget was properly built... and it was.
So my widget displays well on a dialogbox, but if I try to give its innerHTML to the print method, by using getElement(), some widgets are missing... I've the feeling that the widgets which should have been built when the ListDataProvider changes are not properly set in the DOM... Somehow it works when I add the widget to a regular component, but it doesn't work when I have to give directly its innerHTML...
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks in advance.
Widgets are not just the sum of their elements, and DOM elements are not just the string that they are serialized to. Widgets are the element, and all events sunk to the dom to listen for any changes or interactions by the user. Elements then have callback functions or handlers they invoke when the user interacts with them.
By serializing the element (i.e. invoking getInnerHTML()), you are only reading out the structure of the dom, not the callbacks, and additionally not the styles set by CSS. This probably shouldn't be expected to work correctly, and as your experience is demonstrating, it doesn't.
As this is just a print window you are trying to create, event handling is probably not a concern. You just want the ability to see, but not interact with, the content that would be in that set of widgets. Styles are probably the main problem here then (though your question doesn't specify 'some children are missing' doesn't tell us what is missing, or give us any more clues as to why...) - you are adding one stylesheet in your JSNI code, but CellTable (which I assume you are using since you reference ListDataProvider) needs additional CssResource instances to appear correctly. I'm not sure how you can hijack those to draw in a new window.
Are you only using this to print content, not to let the user directly interact with the data? If so, consider another approach - use a SafeHtmlBuilder to create a giant, properly escaped string of content to draw in the new window.
String content = element.toString();
This will include all hierarchy elements in the node.
Just a reminder, all the GWT handlers will not work, and you have to sink all the events using DOM.
You might want to grab the outer HTML rather than the inner one.
GWT unfortunately has no getOuterHTML, but it's relatively easy to emulate.
If your widget is the only child within an element, then simply get the inner HTML of the parent element (w.getElement().getParentElement().getInnerHTML())
Otherwise, clone your widget's node add it to a newly created parent element, from which you'll be able to get the inner HTML:
DivElement temp = Document.get().createDivElement();
temp.appendChild(w.getElement().cloneNode(true));
return temp.getInnerHTML();
First thank you for your answers, it helped me to work out this problem.
I've almost solve the problem:
First, I do not use ListDataProvider anymore, because it wasn't clear for me when and how the view was refreshed. Instead I add my widgets by hand, which makes sense since, they are not going to move anyway.
Then, I define the style of my widgets using a common CSS stylesheet. However, in order to do it, I can't rely on CssResource, which was the way I was used to do it with GWT. I think that this comes from the JS method which gets lost by this kind of styles... Instead, I have to specify everything in a static CSS stylesheet, and to give it to the JS.
It works perfectly well, ie, I have my widgets, with thei styles, and I can print it.
But...
The color of some widgets depends on the color of the object that they represent. Consequently, I cannot write a generic CSS stylesheet... And as I said, I can't add a style using CssResource... Do you have any ideas on the way to handle that ?
To make sure I'm clear on the way I'm adding styles, here is an example:
Label l = new Label("Here is a cell in my grid to be printed");
l.addStyleName("PrintLineCell-kind_1");
With, in a public CSS stylesheet:
.PrintLineCell-kind_1{
background-color: red;
}
I hope there is a better way than to write 300 styles to cover 300 different colors...
In GWT, I am using CellTable.
When you mouse over the CellTable it highlights each row.
How do change the behavior of the highlighting from the mouse over? Specifically:
change the color of highlighting
disable/enable
make it highlight only the specific grid item at your cursor (instead of the entire row)
( The current hack I have is to create a bunch of 1 column wide CellTables and add them to a VerticalPanel layout... creating the illusion that there is one CellTable and it highlights each grid according to your cursor. Is this bad? Why? performance? )
You will notice the CellTable uses a ResourceBundle, which means all the css styles get obfuscated ... this makes it more difficult to override styles.
The CellTable constructor will actually allow you to override the default ResourceBundle. So first, you need to create your own resource bundle like this:
public interface CellTableResources extends Resources {
public CellTableResources INSTANCE =
GWT.create(CellTableResources.class);
/**
* The styles used in this widget.
*/
#Source("CellTable.css")
CellTable.Style cellTableStyle();
}
Then you need to create your own CSS file. I recommend copying the CellTable style directly into your project and use that as a starting point. You can find it here:
http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/browse/trunk/user/src/com/google/gwt/user/cellview/client/CellTable.css
Make sure the style is injected first, and then you just feed it into the CellTable's constructor like this:
CellTableResources.INSTANCE.cellTableStyle().ensureInjected();
myCellTable = new CellTable<T>(Integer.MAX_VALUE,CellTableResources.INSTANCE);
Specifically, you'll want to tweak these styles:
cellTableKeyboardSelectedRow
cellTableKeyboardSelectedRowCell
cellTableSelectedRow
cellTableSelectedRowCell
cellTableKeyboardSelectedCell
It is important to note that the cell table differentiates between the 'selected row' and the 'keyboard selected row'. The selected row is the actual row selected (ie via SelectionModel). The keyboard selected row refers to what is highlighted when the user is pressing the up / down key, but does not mean the row is actually selected (if that makes sense).
I'll just add for number 2) on your list, you can simply do
cellList.setSkipRowHoverStyleUpdate(true)
That completely disables highlighting. There are also two more setSkip-functions on CellList related to hovering.
CellTable can be styled via CSS: How do I style a gwt 2.1 CellTables headers?
To disable highlighting just set the hover CSS property to nothing.
Possibly - try tweaking the .cellTableSelectedRow and .cellTableSelectedRowCell.
Here is the original CellTable.css: http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#A1edwVHBClQ/user/src/com/google/gwt/user/cellview/client/CellTable.css&q=cellTableLastColumn&d=8
I have a long webpage with a form at the bottom. The form has several inputs and one of them is required="true". After the parser parses all the inputs and dojoifies them, it scrolls down to that required field - which of cours is not what I want the visitors to see first since the important things are at the top of the page. This scrolling behaviour might be smart in some cases - but in my case it totally sucks.
How do I tell dojo to stop scrolling to the required text input?
Thanks to all the dojo gurus out there!
The base widget dijit.form._FormWidget has scrollOnFocus property that is inherited by descendant widgets.
Set it to false. It helped me to prevent scrolling to buttons.
That won't work because the dijit.Form contains the logic that focuses the first invalid field.The quickest solution I can think of is adding a patch that would override validate method of dijit.form._FormMixin. You'll need to require the patch on those pages where you want new behavior.
dojo.provide("your.namespace.FormPatch");
dojo.extend(dijit.form._FormMixin, {
validate: function() { /* your implementation here */ }
});
You can also define a new widget that would inherit from dijit.Form.
