I have a dashboard with a variables pane at the top. Is there any way that I can freeze the pane so that the variables would be visible and would not go out of view when I scroll down the dashboard?
Are there also ways for me to add a button that allows me to jump back to top of dashboard?

As the title says, I want to move, clicking a button in task bar , a frameless window out and in of screen right edge .One way to achieve this under kde neon in QML, is to create a PlasmaCore.Dialog{} window and setting as flags the Qt.X11BypassWindowManagerHint only, so the window manager is bypassed.The problem with this solution is that, inside window, where i "append" some widgets in a ListView, I can not have activeFocus to TextArea and I can not type anything there. The TextArea gains activeFocus only if I use as flags the Qt.Popup only without Qt.X11BypassWindowManagerHint.
So is there an alternative solution of making the window sliding in an out from screen right edge without using the flags of Qt.X11BypassWindowManagerHint? In the below link is the code I am using now for sliding window:

EDIT 1
After a lot trying and error I found that the use of flags Qt.BypassWindowManagerHint and Qt.Popup do the trick.Now I can slide the window outside screen edge and also type in TextArea inside a widget .
I am trying to hide the tabs screen (which i placed on the left, see screenshot 2), just as other screen parts kan be hidden. I am using intellij idea 2018. I have the tabs appearance set to the left, see screenshot 2. I can't find any options to automatically hide this left screen, just as is possible with the projects view (screenshot 3).
Any idea's?
1) My main development view
[2) The tabs options
3) Projects view
You can set placement to "none" if you want to hide it completely. I don't think there is a way to temporarily hide them.
This is my first UWP app
I have a SplitView. On the right side I want a menu. On the left side I want to be able to load different pages into it(frame)
The only menu I can find have that hamburger in it(AppBarButton).
This app will only run on windows desktop machines so I do not have need of the hamburger and it will be rather useless.
I have spent the last two nights looking for options but all I get are hamburgers.
Can someone please point me to an example of a no hamburger menu or a tutorial of some kind?
I am sure I can figure it out once I know what elements to use, I just need a push in the correct direction.
What you need is a base page (let's call it "HostView") this will simply have a SplitView control with the DisplayMode set to Inline and the IsPaneOpen set to true. You can also set the side panel width by using the OpenPaneLength property.
Your menu buttons go into the SplitView.Pane and you place a Frame control in the SplitView.Content. This frame will navigate to the correct page when a menu item is selected.
If you set the properties as I said above then you will not need a Hamburger menu to open the side panel at all. However, please consider the fact that users will want to resize your app, and they might resize to a very narrow size which means it might not have enough space to display all the content. IN which case you will need to collapse the side panel and show a hamburger menu to open it when needed. You don't have to do this, but it is something to consider.
I would like to implement the OneNote app menu in my own UWP app. In the closed state, the menu only shows the 'hamburger' button, but when clicked a menu pane slides in from the left.
I have tried to use the SplitView, but it doesn't allow me to set the width to 0 when collapsed, always showing a narrow line on the left side. I also considered using the 8.1 Flyout control, but that doesn't see to animate the correct way.
So, what's the correct way to implement the OneNote menu behavior?
You need the SplitView, but don't mess with the width of its pane.
Instead, set the DisplayMode to Inline (or Overlay) and toggle the IsPaneOpen property.
I want to have an icon in the menubar in my Mac app - and the icon should spawn a menu upon clicking. While having more entries in the menu, I would like to have a top row as a universal text entry field - like it is in Spotlight:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3943878/_mine/Screen%20shot%202011-07-16%20at%2012.29.18.png
Is it possible to add such a field to NSMenu? Or should I do it as a panel-type window?
If you're using xcode 4 , make a custom view in interface builder and add a textfield or anything you want to it. In IB also drag and drop a "Menu" from the objects library with as many items as you want in it. Then simply ctrl+click the menu item you want to make into the text field (In your case it would be the top one) and drag to the custom view and select "view". Now when you open the menu, instead of showing a menu item in that space, it shows whatever was in your custom view.
EDIT: As for your comment here's what you should do. Make your menu an outlet by opening the assistant editor view and ctrl+click from your menu to the header file that you want to use. now, simply make a method that will run whenever the menu will open, conveniently apple already made this, it's called menuWillOpen.
- (void)menuWillOpen: nameOfYourMenu{
[self performSelector:#selector(methodExecutedWhenMenuIsClicked) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.0 inModes:[NSArray arrayWithObject:NSRunLoopCommonModes]];
the delay at 0 will make it happen immediately, it must be done in the common modes run loop so that the menu will be updated even while it's open. Now just make the methodExecutedWhenMenuIsClicked and set it so the text field responds.
- (void)methodExecutedWhenMenuIsClicked{
[[yourTextfiled window] makeFirstResponder:yourTextField];
You can put any view in a menu using -[NSMenuItem setView:]. See the long comment in NSMenuItem.h and the section Views in Menus in Application Menu and Pop-up List Programming Topics.
You're probably going to struggle quite a bit. I just tried doing the same thing, and reading the Views in Menus in Application Menu and Pop-up List Programming Topics document referenced by Ahruman, I found this:
A view in a menu item can receive all mouse events as normal, but keyboard events are not supported. During “non-sticky” menu tracking (that is, manipulating menus with the mouse button held down), a view in a menu item receives mouseDragged: events.
I think we're SOL. Apparently Spotlight pops up a borderless window instead.
