I need to allow a user to select a number between 5 and 30 in my Windows Phone app, and I find it overall difficult to do.
I am using pivot control so I shouldn't use slider according to MS guidelines.
I have downloaded WPToolkit and they have a neat DatePicker and TimePicker controls, and I think something similar would be perfect to pick a number (just the same way you pick time when setting up an alarm).
I was considering simple textbox, but I think it would be much nicer to just pick from a list of numbers instead of typing in...
Any ideas how to implement it? Or have anyone done that alrady? I think I could put like a textbox with focus or click event that would redirect to another page that has LongListSelector and once an item has been selected I would redirect back to the original page and populate the textbox with the selected number... Is that doable?
You can download the Toolkit source code and modify the DatePicker/TimePicker control to be more generic.
If you don't want to do that, you could just use the ListPicker control instead which is also included in the toolkit. Simply pass a list of numbers between 5 and 30 and the user can pick from the list.
You need to use LoopingSelector from Windows Phone Toolkit. An example how to customize it is here http://www.maxpaulousky.com/blog/archive/2011/01/31/windows-phone-looping-selector-for-digits.aspx.

I am trying to call a page in my customers webapplication (Exact Synergy Enterprise)
This is the link: http://someserveridontdisclose/Synergy/docs/CSCANEduCourseCard.aspx?ProjectNr=ACPGINTV
Within this page is an Ajax TabContainer with several TabPanels. One of them is called 'Doelgroepen'
I dont have the source for this application, as i am not the developer of it. We only develop custom extentions to it.
Here's the question: Is it possible to focus on one of the tabs USING ONLY AN URL? If so How?
Thank you very much for your thoughts about this.
try to set with javascript. you'll have to write your own js to get index number you want from url, then set like this
$find('<%=TabContainer1.ClientID%>').set_activeTabIndex(2);

If you do not have access to the code and if this is not part of the requirement / design specification for the application you are using (ie: what you asked the developer to do), then the answer is No.
The control does not have "native" support for URL tab selection. There needs to be specific code in the application in order to handle this.
It is however very easy to implement, if you absolutely need it, it shouldn't take much time (about 15-30 lines of code, depending on how many tabs/urls combination you need).
You can find a running sample of the AjaxControlToolkit Tabs control at the following link (the available functionnalities are described in there):
http://www.asp.net/ajaxLibrary/AjaxControlToolkitSampleSite/Tabs/Tabs.aspx
If the TAB has an ID you could make it visible by adding '#tabid' to the URL.
I have a metro application in which I have a Listview and service data contains above 100 items. Initially when am loading listview in my page it has to display only 8 items plus 1 more-related item and later if i click on a more-item it needs add another 9 items to my page and totally it has to show 17 items in my page and need to display more item also like that flow continues.What should I get to get my scenario.Can anyone help me.Below I tried to give u my scenario.
Thank you.
Take a look to this article: http://www.silverlightplayground.org/post/2012/06/10/Metro-Incrementally-load-GridView-and-ListView-with-ISupportIncrementalLoading.aspx.
There are a couple of solutions -- all depending on the work that you want to undertake. Also, I would suggest that you don't have a "More" button if you can help it -- it's not the best user interaction. Option 2 is going to give you the best experience.
Option 1
Use WinJS.Binding.List as your data source -- using this you can manipulate it like a JavaScript Array (e.g. push, pop etc). As you add & remove items from the list, the list view will react to those changes.
Full details are here.
Option 2
Create a VirtualDataSource derivation that is intimately aware of the ways in which you can request your data, and can offer up a consistent interface to the ListView. This enables your UI to be completely flexible to it's layout, and request enough data to satisfy the available space, while virtualizing the UI elements (better memory/performance), and the data (ensuring only the data needed by the user is requested.
Full worked example here.
I have this problem, in a form I have a list of customers that could be more than 300 and, for me, it isn't very simple find over there because I should scroll all results for find a single row!
On the old technology I had a button that opened a pop up where I should research which customer I should select and than I used a javascript for recording the selection on the first form, but It could be a good solution with new technology!
How can I resolve this doubt? What is the best solution for big <select> tag?
You basically want an autocomplete dropdown list. This does not exist in the standard JSF component set and it is also not exactly trivial to implement with JavaScript/jQuery on top of the standard JSF component set because the available values have to be present in the server side's state. You also basically want a dropdown list which is represented by a <div><input><ul><li> instead of a <select><option> because a normal <select> doesn't allow the enduser to type text in. The standard JSF component set does not have a component which renders the desired HTML markup. You'd basically need to create a custom JSF component.
There are 3rd party JSF component libraries which already offer a fullworthy JSF autocomplete dropdown list. It would be easier to use either of them instead of reinventing the wheel by a custom JSF component. Take your pick:
PrimeFaces - the <p:autoComplete> component
RichFaces - the <rich:autocomplete> component
OpenFaces - the <o:suggestionField> component
ICEfaces - the <ice:selectInputText> component
you can try jquery ajax autocomplete
Refer to:
http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Autocomplete
http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/
Yes, the jQuery autocomplete plugin is the best solution for you while you have a large number of items.
By the way, imagine that you would like to select an item with specific letters. While you are using drop down lists, you can point to your wanted items by typing their names from the first letter of each one. But using jQuery autocomplete, you can search a string or a group of letters in everywhere. it does not matter if are your inserted letters located at the first of your item names or in other places.
As ShantanuD said, you can find this plugin in http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/
We are porting our MFC based client to Dojo. Is there any widget similar to listbox control. At present I am using DataGrid, but that seems heavy and overkill for our purposes. Alternatively what is best widget to replace listbox.
Update: I have already looked at dijit.form.multiselect, and I dont think that meets my requirement. MFC Listbox typically looks like this. I dont see (or rather dont know) how to replicate this with multiselect. It is possible that DataGrid is best fit for the control.
If you use dojo 1.7, take a look at the new DGrid.
For an example looking like yours, go to the tests page and pickup the Selector.html example.
Here are some options depending on which part of the ListBox you want to create:
dijit.Dialog to create a basic dialog box.
dijit.form.FilteringSelect to create a drop-down with your options (single select only).
You could also use radio buttons or checkboxes for your options depending on whether multiple selections are allowed.
My current job is updating an existing Access97-Project. I haven't worked with Access in a long time and i can't find out, how i can explore a toolbar called "sbmbDrucken" which is obviously user-created. I just need access to the action or the code which is called by the buttons...
Is there any menu entry i missed or do i need special code for self-inspection?
TIA!
There are three different ways for menus/toolbars to be instantiated:
the old way, using macros. Before A95, this was the only way, so a lot of older apps (i.e., those converted from earlier versions) may still use macros for the menus.
defining them by hand, using the CUSTOMIZE function that you get when you right click on a toolbar in Access.
in code, using the Application.Commandbar object.
For the first you can browse your macros and see if any of them are menu macros.
For the last, you can do a search in the code for CommandBar.
For the second, just look at them through the built-in menu customization tools. Keep in mind that you may have to check them off to get them to be visible, and that the list is in no rational order. Likewise, some menus/toolbars are hidden from the customization interface. Also, you might need to look at the CUSTOM toolbar menu item.
I don't have Access 97 on hand but you may take a look of this webpage: http://www.alvechurchdata.co.uk/hints-and-tips/accaddtoolbar.html
It seems that "user-created" toolbars could be defined by handwritten code at form.load or somewhere similar. You may search CommandBars.Add and see if you can find those relevant code segments.
Hope that helps.
In the design mode, you will be able to see the toolbar & actions assigned to each of the button.
Right click on the specific toolbar
Click on Customize...
Right click on the button you would like to edit the action of.
You will be able to see the action (which could either be macro or code).
Let me know, if that doesn't help at all.
