Can you get the parent GTK window from a widget? - widget

I have a custom widget and it needs to launch a MessageDialog and in order for me to put that message dialog on top of the window my widget is in then I need access to the parent gtk.window. Is there a way to get the parent GTK window? Thanks

The GTK docs suggest:
GtkWidget *toplevel = gtk_widget_get_toplevel (widget);
if (gtk_widget_is_toplevel (toplevel))
{
/* Perform action on toplevel. */
}
get_toplevel will return the topmost widget you're inside, whether or not it's a window, thus the is_toplevel check. Yeah something is mis-named since the code above does a "get_toplevel()" then an immediate "is_toplevel()" (most likely, get_toplevel() should be called something else).

In pygtk, you can get the toplevel like toplevel = mywidget.get_toplevel() then feed toplevel directly to gtk.MessageDialog()

Though gtk_widget_get_toplevel should work, you may also give a try to the code below. It should get the parent gtk window for the given widget and print it's title.
GdkWindow *gtk_window = gtk_widget_get_parent_window(widget);
GtkWindow *parent = NULL;
gdk_window_get_user_data(gtk_window, (gpointer *)&parent);
g_print("%s\n", gtk_window_get_title(parent));
hope this helps, regards

For GTK4, the gtk_widget_get_toplevel() method on GtkWidget has been deprecated. Instead, you can use the gtk_widget_get_root() method or the Widget:root property, which returns a GtkRoot. That GtkRoot can then be cast to a GtkApplicationWindow() or GtkWindow().
Here's an example in C
GtkRoot *root = gtk_widget_get_root (GTK_WIDGET (widget));
GtkWindow *window = GTK_WINDOW (root);
Here's an example in Rust
let window: Window = widget
.root()
.unwrap()
.downcast::<Window>()
.unwrap();

I want to pass an HTMLDivElement as a React child. Is that impossible?

Context
I am building a React app (rails-react) where I have a parent component GameTracker that has some child components; namely, EquipmentPanel and PinnedPanels. I have added a pinned-panels-container div in the parent component where I want to move panels from the EquipmentPanel when I click on a 'pin' button.
<div id='container'>
<EquipmentPanel pinPanel={this.pinPanel}/>
<div id='tracker-contents'>
{this.state.pinnedPanels.length > 0 &&
<div id='pinned-panels-container'>
<h2>Pinned Panels</h2>
{this.state.pinnedPanels}
</div>}
</div>
</div>
Approach
The way I plan to do this is create a pinPanel() function in the parent component GameTracker, and pass it as a prop to its child, EquipmentPanel. The child then adds the button, and calls pinPanel(div), with div being the specific div/panel I want to pin.
pinPanel(panel) {
let newPanel = panel.current.cloneNode(true)
var parser = new DOMParser();
var htmlDoc = parser.parseFromString(newPanel.innerHTML, 'text/html');
newPanel = htmlDoc
let newPinnedPanels = this.state.pinnedPanels
newPinnedPanels.push(newPanel)
this.setState({
pinnedPanels: newPinnedPanels
})
}
Error
Now, whenever I pin a panel, React gives me:
Uncaught Error: Objects are not valid as a React child (found: [object HTMLDocument]).
If you meant to render a collection of children, use an array instead.
If I try to use an array, as the error message recommends, I get the same error. If I don't use DOMParser(), (which I found here), I get the same error, with the following difference: found: [object HTMLDivElement].
My question is, is there any way in React to clone a div with all its contents, pass it to another component through state, and render it in another component that is not its parent or child? I basically want to copy/paste a div.
Edit: If I try to assign it by .innerHTML, the end result is a panel with [object HTMLDocument] as a string inside.
Unsure if this is considered a proper answer, but I made it work with DOM manipulation. Feels hacky, but it works. If someone has any insight, it is of course welcome.
let newPanel = panel.current.cloneNode(true)
if (this.pinnedPanelsRef.current.innerHTML.includes(newPanel.children[0].innerHTML)) {
this.pinnedPanelsRef.current.innerHTML = this.pinnedPanelsRef.current.innerHTML.replace(newPanel.children[0].innerHTML, "")
}
else {
this.pinnedPanelsRef.current.innerHTML += newPanel.children[0].innerHTML
}
I still feel like there is a much more elegant solution that I am failing to reach.

Outer container 'null' not found.

used jssor slider , i have some pages with same jssor slider , some pages are working fine , but some pages comes Outer container 'null' not found. bug , can any one help on this ?
I had a similar problem, so did some digging to see what the issue was.
The setup starts with the initial call, here's the snippet from the demo site
http://www.jssor.com/development/index.html
var jssor_slider1 = new $JssorSlider$("slider1_container", options);
which, among setting up all kinds of utility functions- more importantly does this
function JssorSlider(elmt, options) {
var _SelfSlider = this;
...
// bunch of other functions
...
$JssorDebug$.$Execute(function () {
var outerContainerElmt = $Jssor$.$GetElement(elmt);
if (!outerContainerElmt)
$JssorDebug$.$Fail("Outer container '" + elmt + "' not found.");
});
}
so at this point, it's trying to collect the string you passed, which is the elmt variable- which is for what? Well let's take a look at that $GetElement function in jssor.js
_This.$GetElement = function (elmt) {
if (_This.$IsString(elmt)) {
elmt = document.getElementById(elmt);
}
return elmt;
};
So, really, what it comes down to is this line for finding the element.
elmt = document.getElementById(elmt);
So the base of this error is
"We tried to use your string to find a matching ID tag on the page and it didn't give us a valid value"
This could be a typo, or another line of code modifying/removing the DOM.
Note that there are some scripts try to remove or modify element in your page.
Please right click on your page and click 'Inspect Element' menu item in the context menu.
Check if the 'outer container' is still there in the document. And check if there is another element with the same id.
Check if "Slider1_Container" is present or Used.
In my case, I didn't have it in my html, but still I had added the js.
Removing js resolved my issue.

How to get object referece of UIPickerView when it create through html select tag

I have a UIWebview contains a html "select" tag, which is shown as a on the screen.
When I click the dropdown, the UIWebview brings up a UIWebSelectSinglePicker View automatically, which is shown as .
I want to change the picker view background color and text color. How can I achieve this goal?
I tried to listen on UIKeyboardWillShowNotification event, but at that moment, this view has not been created.
Thanks in advance for any helps.
I managed to resolve the issue myself.
If someone also want to change the UIPickView on the fly, please take a look:
First, add a listener on UIKeyboardWillShowNotification event.
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(_pickerViewWillBeShown:) name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification object:nil];
Second, when notification fired, call change background color method after delay. <-- This is very important, if call method without delay, the pickview does not exist at that moment.
- (void)_pickerViewWillBeShown:(NSNotification*)aNotification {
[self performSelector:#selector(_resetPickerViewBackgroundAfterDelay) withObject:nil afterDelay:0];
}
Third, go through the UIApplication windows and find out pickerView. And you can change what ever you want for pickerView.
-(void)_resetPickerViewBackgroundAfterDelay
{
UIPickerView *pickerView = nil;
for (UIWindow *uiWindow in [[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows]) {
for (UIView *uiView in [uiWindow subviews]) {
pickerView = [self _findPickerView:uiView];
}
}
if (pickerView){
[pickerView setBackgroundColor:UIColorFromRGB(0x00FF00)];
}
}
(UIPickerView *) _findPickerView:(UIView *)uiView {
if ([uiView isKindOfClass:[UIPickerView class]] ){
return (UIPickerView*) uiView;
}
if ([uiView subviews].count > 0) {
for (UIView *subview in [uiView subviews]){
UIPickerView* view = [self _findPickerView:subview];
if (view)
return view;
}
}
return nil;
}
Hope it will help.
I believe I've come up with an alternate solution to this problem. There are certain circumstances with the other solution proposed where the label colours appear incorrect (using the system default instead of the overridden colour). This happens while scrolling the list of items.
In order to prevent this from happening, we can make use of method swizzling to fix the label colours at their source (rather than patching them after they're already created).
The UIWebSelectSinglePicker is shown (as you've stated) which implements the UIPickerViewDelegate protocol. This protocol takes care of providing the NSAttributedString instances which are shown in the picker view via the - (NSAttributedString *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView attributedTitleForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component method. By swizzling the implementation with our own, we can override what the labels look like.
To do this, I defined a category on UIPickerView:
#implementation UIPickerView (LabelColourOverride)
- (NSAttributedString *)overridePickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView
attributedTitleForRow:(NSInteger)row
forComponent:(NSInteger)component
{
// Get the original title
NSMutableAttributedString* title =
(NSMutableAttributedString*)[self overridePickerView:pickerView
attributedTitleForRow:row
forComponent:component];
// Modify any attributes you like. The following changes the text colour.
[title setAttributes:#{NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor redColor]}
range:NSMakeRange(0, title.length)];
// You can also conveniently change the background of the picker as well.
// Multiple calls to set backgroundColor doesn't seem to slow the use of
// the picker, but you could just as easily do a check before setting the
// colour to see if it's needed.
pickerView.backgroundColor = [UIColor yellowColor];
return title;
}
#end
Then using method swizzling (see this answer for reference) we swap the implementations:
[Swizzle swizzleClass:NSClassFromString(#"UIWebSelectSinglePicker")
method:#selector(pickerView:attributedTitleForRow:forComponent:)
forClass:[UIPickerView class]
method:#selector(overridePickerView:attributedTitleForRow:forComponent:)];
This is the Swizzle implementation I developed based off the link above.
#implementation Swizzle
+ (void)swizzleClass:(Class)originalClass
method:(SEL)originalSelector
forClass:(Class)overrideClass
method:(SEL)overrideSelector
{
Method originalMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(originalClass, originalSelector);
Method overrideMethod = class_getInstanceMethod(overrideClass, overrideSelector);
if (class_addMethod(originalClass,
originalSelector,
method_getImplementation(overrideMethod),
method_getTypeEncoding(overrideMethod))) {
class_replaceMethod(originalClass,
overrideSelector,
method_getImplementation(originalMethod),
method_getTypeEncoding(originalMethod));
}
else {
method_exchangeImplementations(originalMethod, overrideMethod);
}
}
#end
The result of this is that when a label is requested, our override function is called, which calls the original function, which conveniently happens to return us a mutable NSAttributedString that we can modify in anyway we want. We could completely replace the return value if we wanted to and just keep the text. Find the list of attributes you can change here.
This solution allows you to globally change all the Picker views in the app with a single call removing the need to register notifications for every view controller where this code is needed (or defining a base class to do the same).

Forced to use template?

This code from Dart worries me:
bool get isTemplate => tagName == 'TEMPLATE' || _isAttributeTemplate;
void _ensureTemplate() {
if (!isTemplate) {
throw new UnsupportedError('$this is not a template.');
}
...
Does this mean that the only way I can modify my document is to make it html5?
What if I want to modify an html4 document and set innerHtml in a div, how do I achieve this?
I am assuming you are asking about the code in dart:html Element?
The method you are referring to is only called by the library itself, and only in methods where isTemplate has to be true, for example this one. If you follow this link, you can also read what other fields/methods work like this.
innerHtml is a field in every subclass of Element which supports it, for example DivElement
Example:
DivElement myDiv1 = new DivElement();
myDiv1.innerHtml = "<p>I am a DIV!</p>";
query("#some_div_id").innerHtml = "<p>Hey, me too!</p>";

MediaWiki variant tabs

Anyone knows how to get the variant tabs to work as actual tabs and not as a drop down?
This is how sr.wikipedia.org has it:
and this is how I have it on my zablude.com/wiki/ page:
and I've tried everything I found and searched everywhere I could think of but I wasn't able to find a solution... anyone has any ideas how this works?
They hack it in JavaScript — see this piece of code at the bottom of Медијавики:Vector.js:
//to be able to switch the language variant (overrides the default buttons with more visible ones)
function tabWorkaround() {
if(mw.config.get('wgUserVariant') == 'sr') {
var tab_urls = {};
tab_urls[0] = document.getElementById('ca-varlang-0').getElementsByTagName('a')[0].href; //Ћирилица
tab_urls[1] = document.getElementById('ca-varlang-1').getElementsByTagName('a')[0].href; //Latinica
$('#p-variants').remove();
mw.util.addPortletLink('p-namespaces', tab_urls[0], 'Ћирилица');
mw.util.addPortletLink('p-namespaces', tab_urls[1], 'Latinica');
}
}
$(document).ready(tabWorkaround);
It would probably be cleaner to do it with a MediaWiki hook, though. The following code is untested, but should work if I haven't made any silly mistakes:
// show language variants as tabs in Vector skin
function tabWorkaround( &$skintemplate, &$links ) {
$links['namespaces'] += $links['variants'];
$links['variants'] = array();
return true;
}
$wgHooks['SkinTemplateNavigation::Universal'][] = 'tabWorkaround';
(In MW 1.17, this hook is only called from the Vector skin. In MW 1.18, it will affect all skins. If you don't want that, you could test whether $skintemplate->skinname == 'vector'.)
Try $wgVectorFeatures['collapsibletabs']['global'] = false;. That is intended for the dropdown on the other side, but might work for other dropdowns as well.
