setPopupPosition not working - google-apps-script

I have the following code that basically works, but the dialog box is not located where the setPopupPosition method says it should be. I am testing this on Chrome.
function doGet() {
var member1 = "Member1";
var member2 = "Member2";
var app = UiApp.createApplication();
var vPanel = app.createVerticalPanel().setId('vPanel').setSpacing(10);
var hPanel = app.createHorizontalPanel().setId('hPanel').setSpacing(10);
var msg = app.createHTML("Which member's information do you want to update?");
var radio1 = app.createRadioButton('rb1').setText(member1);
var radio2 = app.createRadioButton('rb2').setText(member2);
var selectBtn = app.createButton("Select").setStyleAttribute("margin-left", "80px").setFocus(true);
var cnclBtn = app.createButton("Cancel");
var dlg = app.createDialogBox()
.setModal(true)
.setText("Select Member")
.setTitle("Select Member")
.setPopupPosition(200, 200); //PopupPosition does not work
hPanel.add(selectBtn)
.add(cnclBtn);
vPanel.add(msg)
.add(radio1)
.add(radio2)
.add(hPanel);
dlg.add(vPanel);
dlg.show();
app.add(dlg);
return app;
}

It seems that setPopupPosition works only when the popup is created in a handler function.... I know it seems weird but in a couple of script I wrote I use it without issue in handler and it doesn't work if I copy/paste it in a doGet function....
Anyway, I don't know how you're going to use it in your real code but in the mean time you could position it with style attributes...
This code works :
function doGet() {
var member1 = "Member1";
var member2 = "Member2";
var app = UiApp.createApplication();
var vPanel = app.createVerticalPanel().setId('vPanel').setSpacing(10);
var hPanel = app.createHorizontalPanel().setId('hPanel').setSpacing(10);
var msg = app.createHTML("Which member's information do you want to update?");
var radio1 = app.createRadioButton('rb1').setText(member1);
var radio2 = app.createRadioButton('rb2').setText(member2);
var selectBtn = app.createButton("Select").setStyleAttribute("margin-left", "80px").setFocus(true);
var cnclBtn = app.createButton("Cancel");
var dlg = app.createDialogBox()
.setModal(true)
.setText("Select Member")
.setTitle("Select Member")
.setStyleAttributes({'margin-top':200,'margin-left':200})
.setPopupPosition(200, 200); //PopupPosition does not work
hPanel.add(selectBtn)
.add(cnclBtn);
vPanel.add(msg)
.add(radio1)
.add(radio2)
.add(hPanel);
dlg.add(vPanel);
dlg.show();
app.add(dlg);
return app;
}
btw, your radioButtons won't work as it is, they must have the same name to behave as they are supposed to. There is an open issue on that subject and a couple of workaround as well. (issue 506)

Message Box in popup form

I have a doubt,
I make a Button for Submit form and when I press the first button appear to me a message of confirmation to continue or not, but when I press "no" and the message disappear and return to form,but the first button doesn't work more.
You known that I make wrong.
thanks for all.
function doGet(){

buttons.addClickHandler(handlers);
flow.add(buttons);
app.add(flow);

You are trying to make it happen in clientHandler which is basically a good idea but the problem is that some methods are not available in clientHandlers, for example hide() is not !
So you used setVisible(false) to hide the dialog but then you can't get it visible again easily...
All in all, I found it was easier with serverHandler and a few modifications.
Since you seem to be quite comfortable with UiApp I don't need to explain further, the code is self explanatory enough (I hope :-)
Code below : (and test HERE)
function doGet(){
var app = UiApp.createApplication().setTitle('Request Form');
var flow = app.createFlowPanel().setStyleAttribute("textAlign", "center").setWidth("900px");
var buttons = app.createButton('Print and Save').setId('buttons');
var handlers = app.createServerClickHandler('question').addCallbackElement(flow);
buttons.addClickHandler(handlers);
flow.add(buttons);
app.add(flow);
return app;
}
function question(e){
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
var dialog = app.createPopupPanel().setModal(true).setSize(700, 100).setPopupPosition(10, 400).setId('dialog');
var button = app.getElementById('buttons').setEnabled(true);
var closeHandler = app.createClientHandler().forTargets(button).setEnabled(true);
var correctHandler = app.createServerHandler('hideDialog');
var handlersend = app.createServerClickHandler('Send');
var labelp = app.createLabel('Are you sure that this information is correct?')
var buttonp1= app.createButton('yes, continue').addClickHandler(handlersend);
var buttonp2= app.createButton('No, I want correct').addClickHandler(closeHandler).addClickHandler(correctHandler);
app.getElementById('buttons').setEnabled(false);
var gridp = app.createGrid(1,5);
gridp.setWidget(0, 0, labelp)
.setWidget(0,1,buttonp1)
.setWidget(0,2,buttonp2);
dialog.add(gridp)
dialog.show();
return app;
}
function hideDialog(){
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
var dialog = app.getElementById('dialog');
dialog.hide();
return app;
}
function Send(e){
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
var dialog = app.getElementById('dialog');
dialog.hide();
app.getElementById('buttons').setEnabled(false);
app.add(app.createLabel('send'));
return app;
}

GUI form does not show up

I'm stuck... My code doesn't want to show me my GUI form.

The methods that you are using to show your UI are specifically for Spreadsheet containers. You've probably read this, to get where you are, but re-read Creating User Interface Elements in UI Service, especially the examples of doGet().
function doGet() { // A script with a user interface that is published as a web app
// must contain a doGet(e) function.
...
return myapp;
}
At the end of the function, you simply need to return your UI App instance. No need to call show, or reference the spreadsheet at all.

Is there a way to turn off Auto Fill for users when filling out a form?

I think this is a quick one for you, Folks:
I am collecting data in a UiApp built form, and using validation before enabling them to continue. My problem is that often auto-fill will have different format than what is required in my form (such as the state written out instead of a postal abbreviation). I think this may lead to confusion, so I would love to force the users to fill out each box by hand.
Is there a way to turn off the auto-fill function of browsers?
If I were to build in html, would it give me more control of this?
Thanks for the help~
Martin
NOTE: I am using the "ChangeHandler" as it will at least update the validator when autofill is used.
Here's an example code which is of the style I am using. It includes multiple field validation and a review panel. Relevant to my question, but also may be useful for those building forms.
function doGet(e){
var app = UiApp.createApplication().setTitle("Review and Validation");
var appPanel = app.createVerticalPanel();
var form = app.createFormPanel();
var panel1 = app.createGrid(4,5).setId('panel1');
var firstNameLabel = app.createLabel("First Name:");
var firstName = app.createTextBox().setName('firstName').setId('firstName');
var lastNameLabel = app.createLabel("Last Name:");
var lastName = app.createTextBox().setName('lastName').setId('lastName');
var emailLabel = app.createLabel('Your Email');
var email = app.createTextBox().setName('email').setId('email');
var button1 = app.createButton('Go to Review').setEnabled(false);
var info1 = app.createLabel("Please Enter First Name")
.setVisible(false)
.setStyleAttribute('color', 'red');
var info2 = app.createLabel("Please Enter Last Name")
.setVisible(false)
.setStyleAttribute('color', 'red');
var info3 = app.createLabel("Please Enter Email")
.setVisible(false)
.setStyleAttribute('color', 'red');
var syncChangeHandler = app.createServerHandler('syncText').addCallbackElement(form)
.validateLength(firstName, 2, 30).validateLength(lastName, 2, 30).validateEmail(email);

app.createClientHandler().validateLength(firstName,2,30).validateLength(lastName,2,30).validateEmail(email).forTargets(
button1).setEnabled(true);

GAS is globally browser independent since the app is running on Google's Server and doesn't interact directly with your browser... I don't think it is possible to tell the browser to do anything like that and I haven't seen any trick that would make that possible... If I'm wrong then I'd be very curious about it ;-)
Edit : I played with your code and I was wondering if it might not be a solution to use a key press handler instead of click handler so users would be forced to use keyboard to fill the form instead of mouse click. I've seen scripts that check if an 'enter' was pressed to validate an answer. (just an idea)
EDIT 2 : Well, Browsers are too smart, I tested it but autocomplete simulates keypress quite efficiently... too bad :-/

Display a pop up UI based on users' answer

I currently have a UI with drop down questions. When a user select a certain answer in the drop down list, I want to show another UI that will allow the user to answer more questions. Then, I would like to close this window and return the user to the first UI and continue answering questions.
I have tried popuppanel, set one Ui's invisibility to false but nothing seems to work.
NOTE: Since the data in my first UI are dynamic, I can't use the GUI builder so please only provide solutions using code.
These are the code I have so far:
// when user select this drop down option, show another UI
case 'Move to a special meeting':
displayActionItemsUI();
cellStatus.offset(numOfRowsOffset,0).setValue(N);
cellMeetingType.offset(numOfRowsOffset,0).setValue('Special Meeting');
break;
function displayActionItemsUI() {
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
var panelActionItems = app.createVerticalPanel();
var gridActionItems = app.createGrid(3, 2).setId('gridActionItems')
.setCellPadding(15);
var lblTaskStatement = app.createLabel('Task Statement:');
var lblOwner = app.createLabel('Owner:');
var lblDeadline = app.createLabel('Deadline:');
var tboxTask = app.createTextBox().setId('tboxTask').setName('tboxTask');
var tboxOwner = app.createTextBox().setId('tboxOwner').setName('tboxOwner');
var dboxDeadline = app.createDateBox()
.setFormat(UiApp.DateTimeFormat.DATE_SHORT)
.setId('dboxDeadline').setName('dboxDeadline');
gridActionItems.setWidget(0, 0, lblTaskStatement);
gridActionItems.setWidget(0, 1, tboxTask);
gridActionItems.setWidget(1, 0, lblOwner);
gridActionItems.setWidget(1, 1, tboxOwner);
gridActionItems.setWidget(2, 0, lblDeadline);
gridActionItems.setWidget(2, 1, dboxDeadline);
var btnAdd = app.createButton('Add');
var lblTest = app.createLabel().setId('lblTest').setVisible(false);
panelActionItems.add(gridActionItems)
.add(btnAdd).add(lblTest);
app.add(panelActionItems);
addHandler = app.createServerHandler('_responseToAdd')
.addCallbackElement(panelActionItems);
btnAdd.addClickHandler(addHandler);
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
ss.show(app);
}
// add response to a separate tab and close the UI
function _responseToAdd(e) {
// store user's inputs;
var actionItems = [];
var actionObject = new Object();
var taskStatement = e.parameter.tboxTask;
var owner = e.parameter.tboxOwner;
var deadline = e.parameter.dboxDeadline;
actionObject['task'] = taskStatement;
actionObject['owner'] = owner;
actionObject['deadline'] = deadline;
actionItems.push(actionObject);
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Action Items");
var headers = ['task', 'owner', 'deadline'];
var valuesR = ObjApp.objectToArray(headers, actionItems); //returns [[]]
sheet.getRange(sheet.getLastRow()+1, 1, 1, valuesR[0].length).setValues([valuesR[0]]);
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
var panelActionItems = app.getElementById('panelActionItems');
panelActionItems.clear();
return app;
}
I think you could do it using multiple panels like in this post answer, you could build the panels and change their content depending of the answers...

How to know which Radio Button is selected?

I have 3 Radio buttons in my Ui in the same Radio group. They are,
var rbutton1 = app.createRadioButton('dist','5 miles');
var rbutton2 = app.createRadioButton('dist','10 miles');
var rbutton3 = app.createRadioButton('dist','25 miles');
In the event handler function, the variable, e.parameter.dist gives true or false just based on whether rbutton3 (the last radio button) is checked or not. Is there any way to determine what radio button is selected exactly?
The only way the make radio buttons group work like this (as intended by design) is by using them in a FormPanel and looking the name (in your case "dist") on a doPost from a submit action of the form.
There's some workarounds though, using the new client handlers that make it radio buttons usage on any panel roughly the same as on the from. Please take a look at this issue on the tracker. You may want to star this issue as well, to keep track of updates and kind of vote for it.
I use:
eventData.parameter.source
and pick up the change using addClickHandler.
You need to store this somewhere
Are these buttons suppose to be in an exclusive OR mode. If so, they need to have the same name. Look at Serge's answer for a detailed explanation and example code.
in the meantime I came up with a workaround to set the radiobutton as well, in this example I use a listBox but any other data could be used.
Here is the complete code : (to test in a spreadsheet container)
function radiotest() {
var app = UiApp.createApplication();
var panel = app.createVerticalPanel();
var radioValue = app.createTextBox().setId('radioValue');
radioValue.setId("radioValue").setName("radioValue");
var listhandler = app.createServerHandler('listhandler').addCallbackElement(panel);
var list = app.createListBox().addChangeHandler(listhandler).setName('list');
for(var i = 1; i < 10; i++){
var name = 'choice '+i;
list.addItem('Activate '+name,name)
var handler = app.createClientHandler().forTargets(radioValue).setText(name);
panel.add(app.createRadioButton('radioButtonGroup',name).addValueChangeHandler(handler).setId(name));
}
panel.add(radioValue);
var getit=app.createButton("Valide").setId("val");
panel.add(getit).add(list)
var handler = app.createServerHandler("valide")
handler.addCallbackElement(panel)
getit.addClickHandler(handler);
app.add(panel);
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().show(app);// show app
}
//
function valide(e){ ;// This function is called when key "validate" is pressed
var sh = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var RadioButton = e.parameter.radioValue;
sh.getRange('A1').setValue(RadioButton);
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
return app;
}​
function listhandler(e){ ;// This function is called when listBox is changed
var sh = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
var listvalue = e.parameter.list
var radioValue = app.getElementById('radioValue').setValue(listvalue)
sh.getRange('A2').setValue(listvalue);
var radiobutton = app.getElementById(listvalue)
radiobutton.setValue(true)
return app;
}​
the selected radioButton values comes in the textBox value and the listBox allows to select which radioButton is activated... it shows up like this
There is also another approach, as stated by eddyparkinson that is to use the e.parameter.source but this works only if the handler is assigned directly to the radioButton and not using a 'submit' button. In many case it can be used and makes the code a(little) bit lighter.
Here is a test of this code
function radiotest2() {
var app = UiApp.createApplication();
var panel = app.createVerticalPanel();
var listhandler = app.createServerHandler('listhandler2').addCallbackElement(panel);
var list = app.createListBox().addChangeHandler(listhandler).setName('list');
var handler = app.createServerHandler("valide2")
handler.addCallbackElement(panel)
for(var i = 1; i < 10; i++){
var name = 'choice '+i;
list.addItem('Activate '+name,name)
panel.add(app.createRadioButton('radioButtonGroup',name).setId(name).addClickHandler(handler));
}
panel.add(list)
app.add(panel);
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().show(app);// show app
}
function valide2(e){ ;// This function is called when a radioButton is selected
var sh = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var source = e.parameter.source;
var radioValue = '';
if(source.match('choice')=='choice'){radioValue=source}
sh.getRange('A1').setValue(radioValue);
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
return app;
}​
function listhandler2(e){ ;// This function is called when listBox is changed
var sh = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
var listvalue = e.parameter.list
sh.getRange('A2').setValue(listvalue);
var radiobutton = app.getElementById(listvalue)
radiobutton.setValue(true)
return app;
}​
