ui.tabs add callback not able to set tab - select

I am trying to get jQuery tabs to behave like IE and Firefox. I have a few tabs with an "addtab" at the end. When this tab is clicked a new tab is added, this is fine. But i want to select the second last tab. This is proving to be quite difficult.
my init code is
$tabs =$("#tabs").tabs({
add: function(event, ui) {
$tabs.tabs('select', $tabs.tabs( 'length' ) -2);
alert ("after setting tab");
}
});
my add tab code is
$("#addtab").click(function(){
showcal();
// The first thing to do is to deselect all the other selections
$("#tabs .ui-corner-top").each (function () {
$(this).removeClass ("ui-tabs-selected ui-state-active").addClass ("ui-state-default");
});
$tabs.tabs('add','#extra','Generate Report', ($tabs.tabs('length')-1));
tabContainerTabCount++;
});
however in the add callback the following line is resetting the selected tab
self._trigger('select', null, self._ui(this, $show[0])) === false)
If anyone has any solution or reason why this is done, can you let me know
Thanks
John

I was pointed to the answer at the following web page

How to highlight the selected tab in sap.m.IconTabBar?

Dear SAPUI5 developers,
I have a sap.m.IconTabBar and I set the active tab by the code when the user switch between pages. I used the following code:
sap.ui.getCore().byId(this.createId("iconTabBar")).setSelectedKey("1");
The problem is that it switch the selected tab correctly to the first tab. But it does not show the blue line under the tab that shows it is selected.
Please look at the following images:
What shows when I select the first tab by code:
But what it shows when I press the tab by the mouse it shows a blue line under the icon like the following:
As #Ash said in the comments you need to call fireSelect but this works just if user the second tab at first. If the user is on the first tab and switches between the pages then fireSelect does not act properly. Thus you need to select the second tab at first then it will works almost all times.
sap.ui.getCore().byId(this.createId("iconTabBar")).setSelectedKey("2");
sap.ui.getCore().byId(this.createId("iconTabBar")).setSelectedKey("1");
sap.ui.getCore().byId(this.createId("iconTabBar")).fireSelect();
Ok I had a look into the IconTabBar source Code and theres something I dont really get why but here is how it proceeds :
when you call IconTabBar.setSelectedKey(key), it calls IconTabHeader.setSelectedKey(key)
then internally the IconTabBarHeader calls setSelectedItem(item, true)
the 'true' here is important, the parameter is named 'bAPIchange' in the setSelectedItem function, and it is used as condition for the fireSelect() :
if (!bAPIchange) {
// fire event on iconTabBar
if (bIsParentIconTabBar) {
oParent.fireSelect({
selectedItem: this.oSelectedItem,
selectedKey: sSelectedKey,
item: this.oSelectedItem,
key: sSelectedKey
});
} else {
// fire event on header
this.fireSelect({
selectedItem: this.oSelectedItem,
selectedKey: sSelectedKey,
item: this.oSelectedItem,
key: sSelectedKey
});
}
}
Which explains why the event is not fired in your case

How to enable auto focus on SAPUI5 input suggestion field

I'm currently developing a sapui5 mobile application and am using an sap.m.Input with suggestions bound by a model like this:
new Page('page', {
showNavButton: true,
content: [
new sap.m.Input({
id: "input",
type: 'Text',
showSuggestion: true,
suggestionItemSelected: function(event) {
event.getParameters().selectedItem.mProperties.text;
},
liveChange: function() {
// some stuff
}
})
]
});
The Model is created and bound like the following:
var model = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel();
// model is filled
sap.ui.getCore().byId('input').setModel(model);
sap.ui.getCore().byId('input').bindAggregation('suggestionItems', '/', new sap.ui.core.Item({
text: "{someField}"
}));
When I now click into the input field on a mobile device, kind of a new screen opens with a new input field, which the user has to manually focus again, what seems like a usability flaw to me.
Is there a nice possibility to enable auto focusing the input field on this new screen, so that the user doesn't has to do it again? Or can this screen be disabled at all on mobile devices?
sap.m.input doesn't seem to have a own method for focusing, or at least I'm not finding one - I already tried using jquery's .focus() on the new input field, but without success.
edit: for clarification, the suggestion works troublefree - only the absence of the auto focus on the appearing new screen is what bothers me.
Here is a workaround to "fix" this behavior: https://jsbin.com/lukozaq
Note 1: The above snippet relies on internal implementation of how the popup works. Use it with caution as there are currently no public APIs to access the corresponding internal controls.
Note 2: I put the word fix in quotes because it seems to be the intended behavior that the user has to click on the second input field explicitly, according to the comment in the source code:
Setting focus to DOM Element, which can open the on screen keyboard on mobile device, doesn't work consistently across devices. Therefore, setting focus to those elements are disabled on mobile devices and the keyboard should be opened by the user explicitly.
That comment is from the module sap.m.Dialog. On a mobile device, when the user clicks on the source input field, a stretched Dialog opens up as a "popup" which has the second input field in its sub header.
Please check the API documentation of sap.m.Input, it has a method focus. You can call:
this.byId("input").focus()
to set the focus into the input field.
Try this:
jQuery.sap.delayedCall(0, this, function() {
this.byId("input").focus()
});
About how to detect when the user presses the input field: maybe something like this? Only problem is that I think you probably don't know the id of the new input field which is shown.
var domId = this.byId("input").getId();
$( "#"+domId ).click(function() {
jQuery.sap.delayedCall(0, this, function() {
this.byId("input").focus()
});
});
I am pretty sure that the first piece of code is how to put focus on an input. I'm not sure about the second part, but it's something to try.
in onAfterRendering() do the below..
onAfterRendering : function() {
$('document').ready(function(){
sap.ui.getCore().byId('input').focus();
});
}
I didnĀ“t have the exactly same problem, but It was similiar.
My problem was that I needed focus into suggestion input when the view had been rendered. My solution was to put following code into "hanldeRouteMatched" function:
var myInput = this.byId("inputName");
var viewName = this.getView().getId();
var selector1 = viewName + "--inputName-inner";
var selector2 = viewName + "--inputName-popup-input-inner";
jQuery.sap.delayedCall(1000, this, function() {
myInput.focus();
if($("#" + selector1)){
$("#" + selector1).click();
jQuery.sap.delayedCall(500, this, function() {
if($("#" + selector2)){
$("#" + selector2).focus();
}
});
}
});
If you see that suggestion input catch focus, but It lose it after, or It never catched it, try increasing the time in delayedCalls. The needed time depends on your connection speed.

How to send Keyboard keys in protractor like TAB

I need to select an element, send values to it, press tab and then send new values.
I can select the element and send values to it but am not being able to send TAB from my keyboard and then send new value.
I used ptor first but then it is being obsoleted, I now am trying to do same by using browser.key but its not working for me.
Please Help !
i wrote a snippet and tested it against google.de (not .com! maybe you have to adjust this) and when sending TAB the next element gets the focus (in this case it's the search button).
the snippet:
describe('Test', function () {
it('should browse to google', function () {
browser.ignoreSynchronization = true;
browser.driver.get('https://www.google.de');
expect(browser.getCurrentUrl()).toEqual('https://www.google.de/');
});
it('should unfocus the search field', function () {
var search = element(by.name('q'));
search.sendKeys(protractor.Key.TAB);
browser.sleep(3000); // 3s to take a look ;)
});
});

How to add a custom control to the TinyMce 4 toolbar

I want to introduce a new Control to TinyMce that I can use in the toolbar. In my case I want to add an icon control that can be placed at the start of the toolbar to differentiate between editors.
However there is almost no information about how to properly do this.
Finally I managed to come up with a way to properly do this.
First I introduce a new plugin icon (in icon/plugin.js) that registers a new control Icon. It uses a setting iconClass.
tinymce.PluginManager.add('icon', function() {
tinymce.ui.Icon = tinymce.ui.Widget.extend({
renderHtml: function () {
return '<span class="icon icon-' + this.settings.iconClass + '"> </span>';
}
});
});
Next I add a button facebook to the toolbar in the following way:
editor.addButton('facebook', {
type: 'icon',
iconClass: 'facebook-share'
});
Now I can add it to the toolbar specification:
tinymce.init({
toolbar: "facebook"
})
That's it! The new custom control should not render. The plugin code is only ran once; even if used multiple times.

ExtJS 4: Prevent changing tab using TabBar

I don't use tab panel just tab bar, and have to prevent changing tab by some criteria.
In ExtJS docs I found change event for Ext.tab.Bar, but it fires when tab is already changed. So preventDefault() and return false are not working in this case.
Second I tried is set Ext.tab.Tab.handler property when tabs were initialized, but it fires when tab button is already clicked. So preventDefault() and return false don't work too.
Can ony body help with this? How can I prevent changing tabs using only Ext.tab.Tab and Ext.tab.Bar?
Thx.
I think you can use the 'beforetabchange' event on the tab panel itself.
From sencha docs: http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-0/#!/api/Ext.tab.Panel-event-beforetabchange .
Return false in any listener to cancel the tabchange.
Edit
Maybe you could then extend the Ext.tab.Bar component and register the beforechange event by modifying the setActiveTab method, I think it's a pretty easy modification
setActiveTab: function(tab) {
//test the beforechange return
if (tab.disabled && me.fireEvent('beforechange', tab) === false) {
return;
}
var me = this;
if (me.activeTab) {
me.previousTab = me.activeTab;
me.activeTab.deactivate();
}
tab.activate();
if (me.rendered) {
me.layout.layout();
tab.el && tab.el.scrollIntoView(me.layout.getRenderTarget());
}
me.activeTab = tab;
me.fireEvent('change', me, tab, tab.card);
}
Add a controller action "beforeshow" on the tab panel container and disable the listeners. Allows the tabs to behave normally without clickability.
component.down("#tabPanel").tabBar.clearListeners();
