I'm trying basic stuff with JavaFX with Clojure, on Java8 64-bit (1.8.0_05-b13) on Windows 7.
In my imports (whether in .clj file or in REPL), I can (import 'javafx.scene.control.ButtonBuilder) (and other builders), but I cannot (import 'javafx.scene.control.Button) or any other final widget from javax.scene.control.
If I try importing javafx.scene.control.Button or other widget, I get the Toolkit Not Initialized error. Same with trying to create the button via the ButtonBuilder, even though the ButtonBuilder class itself seems to work fine, and it appears I'm quite able to import other things from the javafx heirarchy.
In order to get it to work I have to force the toolkit to initialize, as shown here, which I think leaves me with an Orphan panel somewhere, which feels kind of dirty: https://gist.github.com/zilti/6286307
(ns hello.core
(:import (javafx.event ActionEvent EventHandler)
(javafx.scene Scene SceneBuilder)
(javafx.scene.layout VBox VBoxBuilder)
;;(javafx.scene.control Button) -- MUST COMMENT THIS OUT OR FAIL
(javafx.scene.control ButtonBuilder)
(javafx.stage Stage StageBuilder)))
(defonce force-toolkit-init (javafx.embed.swing.JFXPanel.))
This was not the case with Java 7 and javafxrt.jar. The only discussion about this I've found (on SO) shows this is required for Swing interop, which I'm not using.
Can someone please explain why this is required now with Java8, and why it only seems to be required for final widgets like Button?
This looks like a magic workaround. Is there a real solution somehow?
JavaFX requires initialization code which starts UI threads, handles application running modes and load native libraries.
JavaFX application are strongly advised to start from a class extending javafx.appication.Application which will perform all initialization routines.
Calling JFXPanel will perform initialization too but it's kinda hack (unless you are really using swing and FX in one app).

I have C+ program that compiles to web assebmbly using the emscripten system. I would like to clean up some things, flush files, etc etc. when he page running the program is closed.
in main there is:
emscripten_set_main_loop_arg(onMainLoopTick, arg, 0, 1);
Currently when the page closes the "process" is simply exited and does not continue after the "loop simulator". I figure I need to get an event from the page that will block the main thread until the C++ code process it and cleans up it's mess.
What event should I forward to C++ and how should I use it ?
The first things to know is that there is no native library nor APIs for WebAssembly (I mean..yet, as of MVP. There are native features like threads coming as post-MVP feature). What is means that all system libraries in C++ are implemented by importing emulated JavaScript functions. So if you are looking for native features like detecting closing events, you should check if there is JS/HTML5 APIs that do the similar things.
To see how it works, open generated .wast file and search for import instructions and generated JS files. Also, you may want to search on Emscripten repo directly to check if there is JS/HTML5 bindings available on C++ side, as their documentation is quite large and hard to look through.
Sticking to the point, the HTML5 events that are fired when closing are beforeunload and unload. I would prefer using beforeunload event. Emscripten provides em_beforeunload_callback callback function type and emscripten_set_beforeunload_callback to register in html5.h bindings.
Otherwise, you use them directly. For example:
In C++:
void EMSCRIPTEN_KEEPALIVE clean_stuff() {
// Clean up the mess...
// You should use EMSCRIPTEN_KEEPALIVE or
// add it to EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS in emcc compilation options
// to make it callable in JS side.
}
In JS:
window.addEventListener("beforeunload", function (event) {
// Exported functions are prefixed by an underscore
Module._clean_stuff();
});
I want to use WinRT API for WiFi Direct from Windows 10 SDK in Win32 Console Application. I know about C++/CX (and even made some progress going that way), but still want to make it work without this extension.
My problem is that I can't activate IWifiDirectDevice interface (from ABI::Windows::Devices::WiFiDirect) to access IWifiDirectDeviceStatics that provides an GetDeviceSelector method.
HStringReference strDevice(RuntimeClass_Windows_Devices_WiFiDirect_WiFiDirectDevice);
ComPtr<IInspectable> insp;
hr = RoActivateInstance(strDevice.Get(), insp.GetAddressOf());
This code ends up with E_NOTIMPL as a result. In Microsoft's example they used factories for activation, but ABI::Windows::Devices::WiFiDirect namespace has no factories.
Worth mentioning that IWifiDirectAdvertisementPublisher works just fine when activated the way I wrote before.
So how to activate IWifiDirectDevice from WRL?
Windows.Devices.WiFiDirect.WiFiDirectDevice is not an activatable class. You can see that by looking at windows.devices.wifidirect.idl.
You will need to use the static methods, e.g.:
HStringReference strDevice(RuntimeClass_Windows_Devices_WiFiDirect_WiFiDirectDevice);
ComPtr<IWiFiDirectDeviceStatics> wiFiDirectDeviceStatics;
hr = Windows::Foundation::GetActivationFactory(
strDevice.Get(),
&wiFiDirectDeviceStatics);
ComPtr<IWiFiDirectDevice> wiFiDirectDevice;
ComPtr<IAsyncOperation<WiFiDirectDevice*>> asyncOperation;
hr = wiFiDirectDeviceStatics->FromIdAsync(deviceId.Get(), &asyncOperation);
Consider taking a look at the Wi-Fi Direct sample.
I'm using MVVM Light and everything is fine except when launching my Windows Phone 8.1 WinRT app as a Share Target.
When I try to assign MainViewModel viewModel = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<MainViewModel>(); I get an exception for ServiceLocator.Current.
Exception Message: ServiceLocationProvider must be set.
Do I need to do something extra in App.xaml.cs OnShareTargetActivated event to insure the Locator is running?
UPDATE:
A ShareTarget page needs to be thought of as a small extension of your app. It seems that not all of the app's resources are loaded (including app-wide resources in App.xaml). So I just created a new instance of MainViewModel in the share page's constructor, loaded only the things I need for the share to complete, save the information and call ShareOperation.ReportCompleted. This returns the user back to the app that is sharing.
I still haven't found a good solution for getting other resources in my ViewModel, but this works for now.
This indicates that the following line has not been executed:
ServiceLocator.SetLocatorProvider(() => SimpleIoc.Default);
This line will instruct the ServiceLocator class to use the SimpleIoc.Default instance as its ServiceLocator.Current. When you run your app as a Share target, the initialization is slightly different and probably the ViewModelLocator doesn't get initialized. You need to find a good location to perform the initialization before you use the ServiceLocator.

I'm researching the possibility of using cocos2d-js by embedding it as a view inside an existing iOS app. In order to make this work, I'm going to need 2-way communication between cocos2d and the surrounding application.
After some initial investigation, I have determined that it is possible to call in to cocos using ScriptingCore:
ScriptingCore* sc = ScriptingCore::getInstance();
jsval outVal;
sc->evalString("function()", &outVal);
My question, then, is around doing the reverse. It is possible to (e.g. in response to user input) call back out of cocos2d-js to C++? Ideally, there would be a way to register a callback with ScriptingCore which could be invoked from JavaScript.
I believe it can be done, but I have not tried myself, nor can I find a good and concise example.
All I can do is point you at SuperSuraccoon's Bluetooth example and it's git page, which apparently does both ways communication between C++ and JS code.
I need to implement switch from one window to another in IE. However, element driver doesn't support getWindowHandle function.
I assume it might be just configuration problem or settings, though I don't know how to fix it.
Please, any suggestions.
I'm working with c# - Visual Studio
You haven't said which language bindings you're using, but based on a comment you posted, it looks like you're using C#. The method names are slightly different for each language binding. From this answer:
The object, method, and property names in the .NET language bindings
do not exactly correspond to those in the Java bindings. One of the
principles of the project is that each language binding should "feel
natural" to those comfortable coding in that language.
So you have to do a little translation if you're trying to copy-paste Java code. In this case, you want the combination of the WindowHandles property (to look for the new window handle) and the CurrentWindowHandle property of the driver. You can find full API documentation for the .NET bindings at the project's Google code site.
I am going to make wild guess:
Try to initialize your driver like this:
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(); //assume you use firefox
The interface WebDriver supports that method. Do not forget to store the handle somewhere ;)
String myWindow = driver.getWindowHandle();
BTW that method should return you actual window If you need all windows you probably should use getWindowHandles() method
If this does not work, please provide more info:
what error exactly are you getting?
How do you initialize WebDriver?
