I'm trying to display a user's messages in a watchOS app and I'm using a WKInterfaceTable instance to do so.
I would like outgoing messages to be right-aligned and incoming messages to be left-aligned but I can't get it to work. Here is the code I'm using:
let row = mainTable.rowController(at: index) as! MessagesViewTableRowController
row.rowLabel.setText(messageText!)
row.rowLabel.setSemanticContentAttribute(.forceLeftToRight)
if outgoing == 1 {
row.rowLabel.setSemanticContentAttribute(.forceRightToLeft)
}
The line that sets the semantic to right is being executed but it's having no effect on the alignment of the row. Everything is remaining left-aligned.
I figured it out.
The label needed its width to be set to "Relative to Container" with a value of 1. After setting that in the storyboard, my code is working.

I have a QScrollArea Widget, which starts empty;
It has a vertical layout, with a QGridLayout, and a vertical spacer to keep it at the top, and prevent it from stretching over the whole scroll area;
Elsewhere in the program, there is a QTextEdit, which when changed, has its contents scanned for "species" elements, and then they are added to the QGridLayout. Any species elements which have been removed are removed too. This bit works;
I have turned the vertical scrollbar on all the time, so that when it appears it does not sit on top of the other stuff in there. Note that the scroll bar is larger than the scroll box already though, despite not needing to be.
This is the problem. The scroll area seems to be preset, and i cannot change it. If i add more rows to the QGridLayout, the scroll area doesn't increase in size.
Instead, it stays the same size, and squeezes the QGridLayout, making it look ugly (at first);
And then after adding even more it becomes unusable;
Note that again, the scroll bar is still the same size as in previous images. The first two images are from Qt Designer, the subsequent 3 are from the program running.
If I resize the window so that the QScrollArea grows, then I see this:
Indicating that there's some layout inside the scroll area that is not resizing properly.
My question is; what do I need to do to make the scrollable area of the widget resize dynamically as I add and remove from the QGridLayout?
If you're coming here from Google and not having luck with the accepted answer, that's because you're missing the other secret invocation: QScrollArea::setWidget. You must create and explicitly identify a single widget which is to be scrolled. It's not enough to just add the item as a child! Adding multiple items directly to the ScrollArea will also not work.
This script demonstrates a simple working example of QScrollArea:
from PySide.QtGui import *
app = QApplication([])
scroll = QScrollArea()
scroll.setWidgetResizable(True) # CRITICAL
inner = QFrame(scroll)
inner.setLayout(QVBoxLayout())
scroll.setWidget(inner) # CRITICAL
for i in range(40):
b = QPushButton(inner)
b.setText(str(i))
inner.layout().addWidget(b)
scroll.show()
app.exec_()
The documentation provide an answer :
widgetResizable : bool
This property holds whether the scroll area should resize the view widget.
If this property is set to false (the default), the scroll area honors the size of its widget.
Set it to true.
Why don't you use a QListView for your rows, it will manage all the issues for you? Just make sure that after you add it you click on the Class (top right window of designer) and assign a layout or it wont expand properly.
I use a QLIstWidget inside a QScrollArea to make a scrollable image list
Try this for adding other objects to the list, this is how I add an image to the list.
QImage& qim = myclass.getQTImage();
QImage iconImage = copyImageToSquareRegion(qim, ui->display_image->palette().color(QWidget::backgroundRole()));
QListWidgetItem* pItem = new QListWidgetItem(QIcon(QPixmap::fromImage(iconImage)), NULL);
pItem->setData(Qt::UserRole, "thumb" + QString::number(ui->ImageThumbList->count())); // probably not necessary for you
QString strTooltip = "a tooltip"
pItem->setToolTip(strTooltip);
ui->ImageThumbList->addItem(pItem);
Update on Artfunkel's answer:
Here's a PySide6 demo that uses a "Populate" button to run the for loop adding items to the scroll area. Each button will also delete itself when clicked.
from PySide6.QtWidgets import *
app = QApplication([])
scroll = QScrollArea()
scroll.setWidgetResizable(True) # CRITICAL
inner = QFrame(scroll)
inner.setLayout(QVBoxLayout())
scroll.setWidget(inner) # CRITICAL
def on_remove_widget(button):
button.deleteLater()
def populate():
for i in range(40):
b = QPushButton(inner)
b.setText(str(i))
b.clicked.connect(b.deleteLater)
inner.layout().addWidget(b)
b = QPushButton(inner)
b.setText("Populate")
b.clicked.connect(populate)
inner.layout().addWidget(b)
scroll.show()
app.exec()
I have ViewPager2 with 4 items. I want to prevent user to scroll right to 4th item when he is trying to swipe right from position 3 to 4, but I want him to allow scrolling left all the time. I cannot remove the last 4-th item because I use it on another fragment.
How can I do that? When I make if like this :
if(position == 3){
binding.viewPager.isUserInputEnabled = false
}
This stops mi scrolling in every direction - right as I expected and left too. I need to detect in which direction user scroll and then stop scrolling right only. Ant tips?
I am doing Stocks market app, I need to display Order status changes to user. I came across ControlsFX Notification. From doc example, it looks like we can only specify simple text for it's content.
Notifications.create()
.title("Title")
.text("Hello Notification")
.darkStyle()
.show();
Is there a way to specify content Node, eg: TableView? As I would like to group a bunch of messages together, present in TableView / ListView, then show in single notification.
If not achievable with ControlsFX, any other recommendation? Thanks!
You can set a Node to display unsing graphic.
Notifications.create()
.darkStyle()
.title("Title")
.graphic(new Rectangle(600, 400, Color.RED)) // sets node to display
.hideAfter(Duration.seconds(10))
.show();
I have the following snippet of code for auto expanding the textarea in sencha touch. I need to cap it out at a set number of rows.
Any ideas?
http://www.senchafiddle.com/#Q9gjN
Wouldn't this be great if it were a nice, easy to use property.
At first I thought it would be the maxRows property but this is just the number of rows to display before the vertical scrollbar appears.
It may be that the only way would be a complicated solution such as this: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/56392/How-to-Limit-the-Number-of-Lines-and-Characters-in
or
Limiting number of lines in textarea
EDIT: I needed to cap the number of rows in an address to 5 lines.
One approach could be to listen to the keyup event on the textareafield, check for the 'Enter' key and then revert back to previous input.
The approach I have taken is just to add validation to the model, which works great.
{ type: 'format', field: 'Address', message: 'Address cannot be more than 5 lines.', matcher: /^([^\r\n]{0,50}(\r?\n|$)){5}$/ }
The regex restricts saving a record to the store that has more than 5 lines, of more than 50 chars.
I'm using Dojo.dnd to transfer items between to areas. The problem is: the items will snap into place once I drop them, but I'd like to have them stay where I drop them, but only for one area.
Here's a little code to explain this better:
<div id="dropZone" class="dropZone">
<div id="itemNodes"></div>
<div id="targetZone" dojoType="dojo.dnd.Source"></div>
</div>
"dropZone" is a DIV that contains two dojo.dnd.Source-areas, "itemNodes" (created programmatically) and "targetZone". Items (DIVs with images) should be dragged from a simple list out of "itemNodes" into "targetZone" and stay where they are dropped. As soon as they are dragged out of "targetZone" they should snap back to the list inside "itemNodes".
Here's the code I use to create the items:
var nodelist = new dojo.dnd.Source("itemNodes");
{Smarty-Loop}
nodelist.insertNodes(false, ['<img class="dragItem" src="{$items->info.itemtext}" alt="{$items->info.itemtext}" border="0" />']);
{/Smarty-Loop}
But this way I just have two lists of items, the items dropped into "targetZone" won't stay where I dropped them. I've tried a loop dojo.query(".dojoDndItem").forEach(function(node) to grab all items and change them to a "moveable"-type:
using dojo.dnd.move.constrainedMoveable will change the items so they can always be moved around (even in "itemNodes")
using dojo.dnd.move.boxConstrainedMoveable and defining the "box" to the borders of "targetZone" makes it possible to just move the items around inside "targetZone", but as soon as I drop them, I can't grab and move them back out. (Strange: dojo.connect(node, "onMoved" doesn't work here, the even won't fire, no matter what.)
So here's the question: is it possible to create two dnd.Sources where I can move items back and forth and let the items be "moveable" only in one of the sources?Or is there a workaround like making the items moveable and if they're not dropped into "targetZone" they'll be moved back to the list in "itemNodes" automatically?
Once the page is submitted, I have to save the position of every item that has been placed into "targetZone". (The next step will be positioning the items inside "targetZone" on page load if the grid has already been filled before, but I'd be happy to just get the thing working in the first place.)
Any hint is appreciated.
Greetings, Select0r
There is no direct support for such features. It can be done with a custom code, e.g., by subclassing a Source and overriding its insertNodes().
Here's a quick workaround to get this working:
I ended up using only one DIV which is a dojo.dnd.Source and contains the items that should be dropped into a "dropZone" and moved around in it while snapping back to the item-list when placed outside the dropZone.
All items are a dojo.dnd.move.parentConstrainedMoveable to make them movable in the originating DIV. Connecting to onMoveStop will give me the opportunity to decide whether the "drop" has occured in the dropZone or somewhere else.
if (coordX >= (dropCoords.l + dropAreaX) &&
coordX <= (dropCoords.l + dropAreaX + dropAreaW) &&
coordY >= (dropCoords.t + dropAreaY) &&
coordY <= (dropCoords.t + dropAreaY + dropAreaH))
{
// OK!
}
else
{
// outside, snap back to list
}
dropAreaX and dropAreaY contain the coordinates where the dropZone starts, dropAreaW and dropAreaH contain its width and height.
If "OK!", the items will be saved into an array, so I know which items have been dropped. Otherwise the item will be removed from that array (if it's in there) and the item will be placed back into the list (via CSS "left: 0"). The number of elements in the array will tell me how many elements are left in the list, so I can "stack" them in a loop using "top: numberOfElement * heightOfElement px").
There's more to it as I need the items coordinates written to hidden fields, but I guess this should get anybody who's working on a similar problem on the right track.
