How to determine the collapsed state of the AjaxControlToolkit CollapsiblePanelExtender in code-behind? - ajaxcontroltoolkit

cpe.Collapsed seems to be always set to the initial state and not reflect the current state. Is there a direct way to determine on the server if the panel is collapsed?

if (cpe.ClientState == "true") // panel is collapsed.

GWT: Multi Selection model does not update the celltable status in some cases

I am using the GWT MultiSelectionModel within a CellTable in which I have a checkbox in one column and a widget in the other column. I have added handlers to update the selection status based on user clicks. If the user clicks on any part of either columns when the cell is selected, the status gets updated correctly and the cell turns white from light blue. Howvever, If the user clicks on the check box and the cell is selected, the check box gets unchecked but the cell is still blue. Even more strange: This issue does not happen if I have a few breakpoints before the status update code is executed.
In all other cases, the cell state and the checkbox state gets updated correctly. Note that I am not using the ProvidesKeys interface since the object do not change.
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks for your help.
Have you tried using a CheckBoxCell for your checkbox column and, specifically, the CheckboxCell(boolean dependsOnSelection, boolean handlesSelection) constructor (by passing true to both params)?
I've got almost the same problem when I use MultiSelectionModel. What's my walkaround is to see the checkbox's column as a special one and then to deal with it manually. Say:
myDataGrid.addCellPreviewHandler(
#Override
public void onCellPreview(final CellPreviewEvent<MyCellData> event){
if("click".equals(event.getNativeEvent().getType()) && 0 != event.getColumn()){
doWhatYouWant();
}
}
)

GWT 2.4 DataGrid automatic scrolling when selecting an item

I am using GWT 2.4's new DataGrid in a project. I configured the DataGrid with a pagesize of 50.
The available screen is not big enough to display all items and thus a vertical scrollbar is shown (this is actually the main purpose for using a DataGrid in the first place).
I attached a SingleSelectionModel to the DataGrid in order to be able to select items.
This works fine so far.
However I also have another widget with which the user can interact. Based on that user action a item from the DataGrid should be selected.
Sometimes the selected item is not in the visible screen region and the user has to scroll down in the DataGrid to see it.
Is there any way to automatically or manually scroll down, so that the selected item is visible?
I checked the JavaDocs of the DataGrid and found no appropriate method or function for doing that.
Don't know if this works, but you could try to get the row element for the selection and use the scrollIntoView Method.
Example Code:
dataGrid.getRowElement(INDEX_OF_SELECTED_ITEM).scrollIntoView();
The answer above works pretty well, though if the grid is wider than your window and has a horizontal scroll bar, it also scrolls all the way to the right which is pretty annoying. I was able to get it to scroll down and stay scrolled left by getting the first cell in the selected row and then having it scroll that into view.
dataGrid.getRowElement(dataGrid.getVisibleItems().indexOf(object)).getCells().getItem(0).scrollIntoView();
Don't have time to try it out, but DataGrid implements the interface HasRows, and HasRows has, among other things, a method called setVisibleRange. You just need to figure out the row number of the item that you want to focus on, and then set the visible range from that number n to n+50. That way the DataGrid will reset to put that item at the top (or near the top if it is in the last 50 elements of the list backing the DataGrid). Don't forget to redraw your DataGrid.
Have you already looked at this? If so, I'd be surprised that it didn't work.
Oh, and since this is one widget talking to another, you probably have some messaging set up and some message handlers so that when the user interacts with that second widget and "selects" the item, the message fires on the EventBus and a handler for that message fixes up the DataGrid along the lines I've described. I think you'll have to do this wiring yourself.
My solution, a little better:
dataGrid.getRow(model).scrollIntoView();
I got a Out of bounds exception doing the above.
I solved it getting the ScrollPanel in the DataGrid and used .scrollToTop() and so on on the ScrollPanel. However, to access the ScrollPanel in the DataGrid I had to use this comment:
http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=6865
As Kem pointed out, it's annoying the "scrollToRight" effect after the scrollIntoView. After me, Kem's solution gives a better behaviour than the base one as usually the first columns in a table are the more meaningful.
I improved a bit his approach, which scrolls horizontally to the first column of the row we want to be visible, by calculating the first visible column on the left before applying the scroll and then scrolling to it.
A final note: Columns absolute left is tested against "51". This is a value I found "experimentally" by looking the JS values in the browser's developer tool, I think it depends on the table's style, you may need to change/calculate it.
Below the code:
public void scrollIntoView(T next) {
int index = datagrid.getVisibleItems().indexOf(next);
NodeList<TableCellElement> cells = datagrid.getRowElement(index).getCells();
int firstVisibleIndex = -1;
for(int i=0; i<cells.getLength() && firstVisibleIndex<0;i++)
if(UIObject.isVisible(cells.getItem(i)) && (cells.getItem(i).getAbsoluteLeft() > 51) && (cells.getItem(i).getAbsoluteTop() > 0))
firstVisibleIndex = i;
cells.getItem(firstVisibleIndex>=0? firstVisibleIndex : 0).scrollIntoView();
}

Multiple Selection QTreeWidget

Does anyone know if its possible to select multiple items on a QTreeWidget and how to go about enabling the multiple selection?
All the items I want to be selectable are top level QTreeWidgetItems and all their children are set to be disabled (i.e QTreeWidgetItem.setDisabled(True) )
It is, you'll want to call setSelectionMode during init to enable QAbstractItemView::MultiSelection. QTreeView/QTreeWidget inherit QAbstractItemView, so it is available.
Then to disable the items, just hook on to QTreeWidgets.itemSelectionChanged() signal.
I think below will help:
youQTreeWidget.setSelectionMode(QGui.QAbstractView.MultiSelection)

Pygtk: Disable moving separator in a gtk.Paned (HPaned/VPaned)

Is there a way I can stop the user from dragging around the separator in a gtk.Paned? I don't want to disable it completely... if any child resized or set_position() was called, the separator should still change position.
Thanks!
One possible (dirty :)) way would be to track Paned' events and re-set its size:
def handle_cb (pane, param):
# detect if paned is locked
# or its position has changed - ommited
pane.set_position(10)
return True
pane = gtk.VPaned()
...
pane.connect("notify", handle_cb)
I'd try to set child widgets unshrinkable first, though.

ScrolledComposite splits the screen vertically and content is displayed in the right half

I am using the ScrolledComposite for a existing control(with many children) based on the method2 mentioned here :http://www.placelab.org/toolkit/doc/javadoc/org/placelab/util/swt/SwtScrolledComposite.html
The only change is instead of creating a new shell & display I am using the existing control's parent.
I am seeing the scroll bars as expected but the existing control/content is displayed form the centre & not from the start. The first half(vertically split) of the layout is empty & the actual control/content gets displayed in the right-half.
I checked bounds, Origin, size etc. they seem to be fine.

Any clues
Thanks in advance
Did you delete the Composite c1? maybe that is in the left side.
You could also provide what is exactly your change to the code.
