I'm writing a plugin for TinyMCE, and I want to have ListBox B dependent on what's selected in Listbox A. I can make it so the initial selection in ListBox A fills ListBox B, but I cannot make a second selection, wipe ListBox B clean, and fill ListBox B with the new items.
I've tried using just Native ListBoxes and JQuery functions but JQuery can't find them on the page.
Thanks!
TinyMCE creates an iframe to hold the content it's editing, so the list boxes you're searching for are in there rather than in the main document. You can use the tinymce.get('editor_id').getDoc() function to retrieve the document from the iframe (see http://tinymce.ephox.com/documentation/api/index.html#class_tinymce.Editor.html-getDoc). If you target your standard JQuery functions on that document it should work.

Here is a workaround which works for me. My ListBox holds classnames (cssclass is a variable holding a simple string):
listbox = ed.controlManager.get('p_style'); // listboxname
if (typeof listbox == "undefined") return;
// after rendering, no new listbox elements can be entered -> workaround
if (listbox && listbox.isMenuRendered) {
listbox.menu.destroy();
listbox.isMenuRendered = false;
listbox.oldID = 0;
}
// class zu Listboxen hinzufügen
if (listbox)
listbox.add(cssclass, cssclass);

In the onChange of React-Bootstrap-Typeahead, I need to manually set a custom display value. My first thought was to use a ref and do something similar to the .clear() in this example.
But although .clear() works, inputNode.value = 'abc' does not work, and I'm left with the old selected value from the menu.
onChange={option => {
typeaheadRef.current.blur(); // This works
typeaheadRef.current.inputNode.value = 'abc'; // This does not work (old value is retained)
}}
I also tried directly accessing the DOM input element, whose ID I know, and doing
var inputElement = document.querySelector('input[id=myTypeahead]');
inputElement.value = 'abc';
But that didn't work either. For a brief second, right after my changed value = , I do see the new display label, but then it's quickly lost. I think the component saves or retains the menu-selected value.
Note: I cannot use selected, I use defaultSelected. I have some Formik-related behavior that I've introduced, and it didn't work with selected, so I'm stuck with defaultSelected.
The only workaround I found is to re-render the Typeahead component (hide and re-show, from a blank state) with a new defaultSelected="abc" which is a one-time Mount-time value specification for the control.
I couldn't get selected=.. to work, I have a wrapper around the component which makes it fit into Formik with custom onChange and onInputChange and selected wasn't working with that.
So the simple workaround that works is, if the visibility of the Typeahead depends on some condition (otherwise it won't be rendered), use that to momentarily hide and re-show the component (a brand new repaint) with a new defaultSelected, e.g.
/* Conditions controlling the visibility of the Typeahead */
!isEmptyObject(values) &&
(values.approverId === null || (values.approverId !== null && detailedApproverUserInfo)
)
&&
<AsyncTypehead defaultSelected={{...whatever is needed to build the string, or the literal string itself...}}
..
// Given the above visibility condition, we'll hide/re-show the component
// The below will first hide the control in React's renders
setFieldValue("approver", someId);
setDetailedUserInfo(null);
// The below will re-show the control in React's renders, after a small delay (a fetch)
setDetailedUserInfo(fetchDetailedUserInfo());
I have a question and maybe someone could help me find the best solution. I want a user to be able to add items to a drop down list dynamically in a form. I have a form with text boxes and drop down lists and want the user to be able to add items to the drop down list if they don't find it. I would make the drop down lists text boxes but I want to try and keep the names consistent. An example of a form would be have the user enter a name and then have drop down lists for colors and shapes. If the user does not see the color in the drop down I want them to be able to click a link next to the drop down and enter the name or the color. Another link to add shapes to the drop down list.
I'm trying to do this in an MVC Razor environment. I tried using partial views by having the link open a modal box of a partial view to enter the name, but then I have a form within a form and cannot submit the inner form. If I open a small window to enter the name then how do I add it back to the original parent window form without loosing what they already entered in the text box? I know there has to be a good solution out there.
If you want the users new input to be saved for later use, you could use Ajax to submit the new data into the database, and then have the controller return a partial view with your new dropdown.
So your dropdown would be an action Like this:
public PartialViewResult Dropdown()
{
var model = new DropdownModel()
{
Data = yourdata;
}
return PartialView("Dropdown.cshtml", model)
}
And your action to insert new data would look something like this:
public PartialViewResult AddDataToDropdown(string data)
{
var newDropdown = repository.AddData(data);
var model = new DropdownModel()
{
Data = newDropdown;
}
return PartialView("Dropdown.cshtml", model)
}
So bascially, you can resplace the HTML in the div that contains the dropdown with Ajax like this:
$(".someButton").on("click", function () {
var newData = ("$someTextbox").val();
$.ajax({
url: "/YourController/AddDataToDropdown",
type: "GET",
data: { data: newData}
})
.success(function (partialView) {
$(".someDiv").html(partialView);
});
});
This way you save the data and the dropdown is refreshed without refreshing the entire page
Working in Google Web Toolkit (GWT) I am using a CellList to render the details of a list of Tariffs (using a CompositeCell to show a CheckBoxCell next to a custom cell of my own).
I want to filter the list by tariff length (12, 18, 24, 36 months etc). I would like to render a checkbox for each tariff length at the top of the list, and update the dataProvider as necessary when users uncheck and recheck a box.
I do not know in advance the set of tariff lengths, they will be extracted from the result set when the page is rendered. There could just be two (requiring two checkboxes), but possibly there could be 10 (requiring 10 checkboxes) - I only want to render a checkbox for each as needed.
So somehow I need to associate an int value with each checkbox, and then pass that int to a function that updates the list by removing all tariffs that match. I'm just not sure how to add the handler for the checkboxes and how to get the value for that particular box.
This is what I'm thinking:
// panel to hold boxes
private Panel contractLengthPanel = new HorizontalPanel();
textPanel2.add(contractLengthPanel);
// create a set of the terms, by looping the result set
Set<String> contractTerms = new HashSet<String>();
for(ElecTariff tariff : tariffs)
{
contractTerms.add(Integer.toString(tariff.getContractLength()));
}
// loop that set, creating a CheckBox for each value
for(String term : contractTerms)
{
CheckBox box = new CheckBox(term + " Months");
// set all boxes with the same name, and a unique id
box.getElement().setAttribute("name", "termBoxes");
box.getElement().setAttribute("id", "termBox" + term);
contractLengthPanel.add(box);
}
Now I'm not sure if I'm along the right lines here, but now I have each box as part of the same group (they have the same name) I would like to use that to add a handler that is called when a box is checked or unchecked, passing the box id (which contains the tariff length) to that function.
I hope this wasn't too confusingly written. Help appreciated.
There really is nothing like a "group of checkboxes" in HTML, and neither there is in GWT. There are kind of "groups of radiobuttons" though, but it's only about having their checked state mutually exclusive, it doesn't change anything to the way you work with them from code.
You have to listen to changes on each and every checkbox.
What you can do though is to use the same event handler for all your checkboxes; something like:
ValueChangeHandler<Boolean> handler = new ValueChangeHandler<Boolean>() {
#Override
public void onValueChange(ValueChangeEvent<Boolean> event) {
CheckBox box = (CheckBox) event.getSource();
String id = box.getFormValue();
boolean checked = box.getValue();
…
}
};
(note: I used getFormValue() rather than getElement().getId(); I believe it's a better choice: it's specifically made to associate a value with the checkbox)
I'm trying to use the new GWT CellTable widget but my table needs to support one row expansion, i.e. there is a zippy on the left of a row and when it's clicked, the row should expand to provide more detail information and this row should span across all columns. Is it possible to achieve this with the CellTable? How do I add a row that spans all columns between other rows dynamically?
Any help will be appreciated!
GWT 2.5 will add a CellTableBuilder with the exact goal of allowing this kind of things.
You can find a live example at http://showcase2.jlabanca-testing.appspot.com/#!CwCustomDataGrid (click on the "show friends" cells)
Can you not make the additional row invisible using getRowElement(int row) and using DOM methods to set display 'none' when rendered and as blank when the button, to show it, is hit.
I am working on the solution too and my plan for now is to use CSS classes + manual styles manipulation to make it look as I need. Not sure if I be able to merry it with GWT though: http://jsfiddle.net/7WFcF/
I took a different approach to solve this same problem.
The basic concept is using dom elements to add and remove rows based on an event. The following code is an abstract extension of CellTable. You'll want to call this method from your event that gets fired from the click to expand a row.
import com.google.gwt.dom.client.Document;
import com.google.gwt.dom.client.Element;
import com.google.gwt.dom.client.NodeList;
public abstract class ActionCellTable<T> extends CellTable<T> {
protected abstract void addActionsColumn();
Integer previousSelectedRow = null;
public void displayRowDetail(int selectedRow, Element e){
//Get the tbody of the Cell Table
//Assumption that we want the first (only?) tbody.
Element tbody = this.getElement().getElementsByTagName("tbody").getItem(0);
//Get all the trs in the body
NodeList<Element> trs = tbody.getElementsByTagName("tr");
//remove previously selected view, if there was one
if(previousSelectedRow!=null){
trs.getItem(previousSelectedRow+1).removeFromParent();
//If the current is further down the list then the current your index will be one off.
if(selectedRow>previousSelectedRow)selectedRow--;
}
if(previousSelectedRow==null || selectedRow != previousSelectedRow){// if the are equal we don't want to do anything else
Element td = Document.get().createTDElement();
td.setAttribute("colspan", Integer.toString(trs.getItem(selectedRow).getChildNodes().getLength()));
td.appendChild(e);
Element tr = Document.get().createTRElement();
tr.appendChild(td);
tbody.insertAfter(tr, trs.getItem(selectedRow));
previousSelectedRow=selectedRow;
} else {
previousSelectedRow=null;
}
}
}
previousSelectedRow is used to track which item is "expanded", this could probably be achieved using classes or IDs. If needed I can elaborate more on the CellTable, events, views, and activities.
This is strange and any alternative method to what I want to accomplish is welcome. My app uses the jqgrid 3.5.3 and I need to disable a select list on my edit form. When I do so using the code displayed below it breaks the edit form - meaning I can not cancel or submit it. Thanks. This code is in the edit options array of the navGrid method. The the dropdown is the 'serv_descr' field. The others are text boxes and don't pose a problem. The form does come up and the field is disabled - its just broken.
beforeShowForm: function(eparams) {
document.getElementById('equip_id').disabled = true;
document.getElementById('service_dt').disabled = true;
document.getElementById('serv_descr').disabled = true;
document.getElementById('calc_next_svc').checked = 'true';
}
afterShowForm: function(eparams) {
$('#equip_id').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
$('#service_dt').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
$('#serv_descr').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
$('#calc_next_svc').attr('checked', true);
}
Note:
replace event trigger afterShowForm
id name must be form controll
