I understand this is almost always a no go, however I have an item on a pivot control that that I'd like to pass gestures to in Windows Phone 8.1.
I have a color-picker residing on one of the pivots and I'd like the user to still be able to touch, and slide the color picker item around to select their color.
I don't want to abandon this just yet, but I've tried disabling the IsHitTestVisible to false, but this obviously does not help as all child items are not reachable.
I've not found much else on this subject, specifically to disable the pivot's own gesture or pass it on to the color picker. I would change pages by the pivot headers.
Any suggestions on this? Is it any at all possible?
I think you have two options to achieve this
Lock the pivot when user interacting with the color picker. You can set PivotControl.IsLocked=true; property for this.
Show the color picker to a popup like screen on the top of the pivot control. You can change the visibility of the color picker grid based on some triggers

I am new to Automation Anywhere. I am trying to click on specific cell value of a web page table.
I have cloned the table object and applied action "Click on cell by index" provided by automation anywhere tool on specific row and column.
Secondly, I tried Mouse Click functionality but, on search base position of cell where to click will not always be the same that's why cant implement mouse click.
Screenshot is attached what I have done so far, Nothing happens by click on the cell. I want to click on the value present in the cell.
I want to click on highlighted portion mentioned in below screenshot:
Any kind of help will be appreciated.
Could you attach a screenshot of the full search criteria? I'm sure it has to be something with the path and DomXpath.
Make sure that below points have been checked:
The object properties should be unique and non changing. This is required to identify the object correctly during execution
Check whether object cloning is working properly with current screen resolution. If not, you need to change the screen resolution
Does anyone know how programatically:
1- Stop the SpinnerList from spinning;
2- Check in which item the spinner currently is while spinning;
The SpinnerList I am using comes from the mobile.swc components. It is a Spark component (using Flex 4.6). What I could take from the documentation is basically that I could control the SpinnerList and stop it when the user triggers a mouseDown event by manipulating the scoller used in the SpinnerList. That leads to another question how do I control the scroller. Do I need to set the scrollPolicy on/off? Isn't there a better way?
Second point I still have no idea how to do it. Even reading carefully the documentation. My dataProvider is sorted alphabetically and I would like to smoothly pop a letter showing in which letter group the Spinner entered while spinning. Sort of a first letter displayer that dynamically changes while scrolling. Something like the caret_index would be cool but it only updates once the Caret is selected.
Thanks!
I am currently working on making my Flex application accessible.
I have an mx DataGrid that I am using for showing complex data. Each row contains information about a person and one of the columns contains a button to "submit" that person's information.
Currently if I tab to the DataGrid, it has focus on the whole thing, but I cannot tab to individual cells. For accessibility purposes, I need the user to be able to tab to each of these cells to read the information. Everywhere I've looked I've found that it seems the only way to focus on an individual cell is to set the editable property to true. However, I do not want to make the field editable, as that information should not be changed.
At the very least I would like to be able to tab to the cell that has the button ItemRendender for each person. I could set the rest of the information in the accessibilityName of that.
Is there any way to accomplish this? Or am I going to have to find a more "creative" solution?
In case anyone is wondering how to get around this, the only way I could find is to switch over to an AdvancedDataGrid. If you set the ADG's selectable property to true, you can use the arrow keys to select a whole row at a time, and the screen reader will read the whole row of information.
Then to get the effect of clicking the row's button, I set a keyboard event watcher that performs the function of the button using the target(ADG)'s selected item when you press space.
I think I'm looking directly at an Access 2003 bug. Here's what I did (I think):
I'm developing a Continuous Form (i.e. multiple records per page).
I have an unbound textbox in the background of the Details section. Under Data Properties, I have Enabled=No and Locked=Yes. (In other words, I don't want the user to select it. I only want it for the background color)
This textbox also has some conditional formatting to change the background color for that row. (e.g. If we haven't spoken to that customer in awhile, the background for that record is red)
If I choose a record where the conditional formatting is active (i.e. the background is red), I can actually click on this textbox. There's not much that I can do, of course, but this shouldn't happen and surely would be confusing to the end-users.
Has anyone else seen this? What's your workaround?
Enabled is a property that can be controlled via conditional formatting. By default when you add a new condition, the Enabled property is set to True. If you don't want your control to be enabled you must explicitly set Enabled = False within the conditional formatting rule.
The property is toggled via a button in the lower right corner of the conditional formatting dialog. It's easy to miss (I forget about it all the time).
Personally, I think the property should be three-way: True, False, or Inherit (with Inherit as the default). Unfortunately, Access forces you to be explicit when adding conditional formatting rules and state whether the rule should make the control Enabled or Disabled.
Here's my workaround (I was waiting to see if anyone else would suggest something better. Apparently not.)
In my conditionally formatted textbox, add an Event Procedure for GotFocus. Enter this code: Me.Txt_FocusHere.SetFocus.
Make a 2nd unbound text box somewhere on the form. Shrink it until it's just 1 line thick. Call it Txt_FocusHere.
So whenever the user clicks on the colored background, the focus is immediately taken to this dummy textbox which can't store any data and is so small that the user doesn't see the blinking cursor.
I successfully used the method on the following page: http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0047.htm - "Changing the Background Color of the Current Record in a Continuous Form"
In an auto-generated chart based on a query (I dragged the chart object onto a blank form to start it), the chart itself is displaying and updating properly, datawise, but I want to change the Legend from reading "SumOfAvgOfield1" and "SumOfAvgOfield2" to regular words suitable for final presentations. But I can't find a way to change it!
I realize this is a late answer, but I was just having a similar issue and figured someone else might benefit from knowing how to get rid of the 'SumOf' labels.
In design view, right click on the chart and select 'Properties'.
Choose the Data tab.
The 'Row Source' field is the one you're going to be interested.
In there you can see various places where it's labeling your data:
Sum() AS [SumOfData]
Just edit the text right in the properties window and you'll be set.
This is WAY late, but here's what I found (Yes we still use office 2007)
Open the form in PivotTable View. Open Property Sheet. Highlight the column you want to change the Legend Caption for. Choose the Captions Tab in the properties window. There you can change the captions for each column.
Had 4 charts on a form. 3 would let me edit the Heading of the Chart, the 4th would not. Read a lot of posts that did not pertain. Noticed the datasheet for the 4th chart was completely empty.
SOLUTION: Clicked on chart until the datasheet appeared. Added mock field headings and mock data to datasheet. I could then click on chart and edit the chart's Heading. You can also highlight and change the color of selected words in the chart's Heading. Very Nice!
Good luck,
Vancer
The SumofAverageOfFiled1, etc is automatically generated. Even if you edit it in the datasheet, it changes back (or at least that is my experience). What I did to get around this is add a Rectangle and fill it with white and size it to cover up the "Sumof" captions. You can Bring to Front the Rectangle. Then you can add text boxes to label the chart's bars to read the way you want them. Drag them over the Rectange and Bring to Front.
Hope this helps.
Everywhere I looked it said just change the Pivot Table to change the Legend Entry.
Well, let me tell you.
First, if you have no Pivot Table that you can see do the following:
go to design view and select the form
right click and hit Properties. Scroll through till you see AllowPivotTableView and select yes.
Now you can go and change the column headers!
This could help
Select xxxxx, yyyyy from zzzz
Chart0.ChartSeriesCollection(0).DisplayName = ![XXXXX]
Chart0.ChartSeriesCollection(1).DisplayName = ![YYYYY]
Was very difficult to me to find a way to do it.
