I have searched google/stackoverflow etc. for answer to my question, but I didn't quite manage to find the right one. I believe I just don't know, how to set the question properly, and thus I cannot find solution.
Is there any way, how to create grid like I drawed in following image (with red colour):
I need to add this red grid to several images, which look very simmilar. The grid field (the one selected) have rolling menu, prescribed position, and a field for additional text. Black lines in background are image in background, and the red supposed to be grid above the image. I thought of creating a lot of buttons alined to each other, but i think that is very bad way to do so.
I would like a pop-up menu from selected field, but opening new activity with same fields is usable aswell. Is there any "simple" solution for creating such grid/menu ?
Btw, I am not programmer with many experience with coding, let's say, I know basics only.
Thanks in advance.

I want to replicate Badoo's interests screen. The highlighting of each element and then being able to see these highlighted elements being remembered and able to be seen on another section of the menu. I've tried before, but in a very inefficient way.

I'm using Dymola but I expect OpenModelica might very well be the same (or at least similar).
For a given component model sometimes it makes more sense to have lots of parameters shown on one "tab" of the parameter GUI. This can lead to an excessively long GUI which, for many reasons including for psychological reasons in relation to how humans process information, is not a appropriate solution.
To solve this I would like to add a vertical scroll bar on the parameter GUI. I believe I saw it once though I cannot recall exactly where.
For illustrative purposes look to the right side of your web browser window. That gray bar that goes up and down is the scrollbar :). I know, obvious but you never know.
I assume I need to put some command in an annotation somewhere though where and what command I am not sure. For example, I found some reference to a verticalScrollBarPolicy but alas, I can not find any documentation on this.
Anyone know how to do this?
EDIT #1:
Dymola (and Adrian indicated OpenModelica as well) will automatically create the scroll bar when the GUI gets larger than the screen. Unfortunately (at least in Dymola) there is little margin so if you GUI is a fraction smaller than the window the "OK" button will be covered by the ribbon on the bottom of the screen and the GUI will be needed to made slightly larger to make the scroll bar appear automatically. This is a reason why a manual option for a scrollbar would come in handy.
I think additional "tabs" might help?
As far as I know in OpenModelica we have a scroll bar for that dialog windows if the window would expand out of the screen.
As of this posting my understanding based on feedback on this forum, my own experience, and from additional discussions with others there is no current manual control of the GUI (i.e., size, scrollbars, etc.).
Your best bet if you come across issues (e.g., you have a super small 2nd monitor) is to use lots of tabs and keep descriptions very short (which is probably appropriate for most applications anyways).
This is a Dymola and OpenModelica issue not a modelica issue as it is not contained in the modelica specification (as I understand it).
If this changes and I find out about it I'll remove or update this post.
EDIT: I realized that I didn't tag this properly - I should have included vb.net as a tag, on the grounds that there could be a code based solution. Note, that no changes to the resolution are made in my source code.
UPDATE: When the program starts execution, the left coordinate for each PictureBox is multiplied by ~0.376, whilst the top coordinate for each PictureBox.Top is multiplied by ~0.418 . This "down-scaling" applies to all picture boxes. The source code I have is incredibly rudimentary and cannot be responsible for this. I also looked at another project and I still face the same error. A simple but poor fix would be to divide each coordinate by the corresponding values mentioned above.
In order to show you the issue I'm facing, please look at the images below. Compare this image, where each PictureBox (i.e. a snake, set of arrows, etc.) has been placed so that they line up with a feature of the background image:
To this image, where the PictureBox elements are bunched together. Their positions have been "down-scaled" closer to the origin of the form (note that all the elements are transforming horizontally during runtime, which is why the elements are in the top right corner):
In the solution I was given (developed in VS 2010 I believe), the position of each PictureBox goes beyond the background image as shown:
It is clear that each picture box has been placed in an organized fashion. During execution, each PictureBox goes to it's intended position (i.e. lines up appropriately with the background image).
Obviously, the original developer of the solution I was given would have not faced the problem I am. The fact that the solution works properly during runtime indicates some kind of error with my instance(s) of VB. Does anyone know of any solutions?
I've came across this question which asks how to change the default resolution for a Windows 8 App and this question which asks why some applications appear differently on different machines, but they pose no clear solutions. I would appreciate any help, since it's holding me back from critical work I must do. Thank you in advance!
I feel a little silly now - I started carrying out a bit more research on VB forms and came came across this Microsoft documentation on form scaling. Realizing that my issue may have been caused by having this scaling automatically carried out, I then found the AutoScaleMode property of my form and changed it from Font to None, which resolved my problem.
Couldn't find it anywhere (google or stackoverflow).
Is there a way to force Dump()'s output to be automatically collapsed?
Update:
Some more info, to bring more focus to the question.
As mentioned below Collapsing can be done after the output as rendered via keyboard shortcust (Alt+1, Alt+2, Alt+3)
And can rendering depth can be determined by passing an int depth param, but that does not allow to expand the results.
Is there some way to change the CSS formatting? I'm not that fluent in CSS, so this might be the solution.
Why I need this:
What I want is to make the output 'cleaner', and dive in when something of interest show's up.
I'm running a query repeatedly, and don't need all of the output all the time, but still using my human abilities to detect change, instead of coding the detection.
Update: November 2013
As Joe (the author himself!) mentions in the comments, LINQPad no longer has the limitation described.
It is now possible to state 0 and collapse the information after it's rendered.
No, although you can call Dump with a number to force it to display to that nesting depth:
.Dump(0)
You can also use the formatting shortcuts (Alt+1, Alt+2, Alt+3) to collapse the whole display to one, two or three levels.
Another option is to dump to grids. Call Dump(true) or use the toolbar button. Grids show only one level and subsequent levels are shown upon demand with hyperlinks.
I'm working on a prototype app that has a challenging behavior. I thought I'd ask for advice before really tearing into it...
Part of the app has an area of text that needs to be formatted in a manner where there will be a description of an item in bold, followed by one or more detail items:
Item Description: Item Detail 1. Item Detail 2. Item Detail N.
In most cases these items will require multiple lines, so word wrapping will be necessary.
The the user will be able to tap on any bolded item description to expose a popover with options they can select that will populate the plain item details.
I was about to attempt doing this with a webview, to be able to format the text, provide natural word wrapping and use hyperlinks to call methods, etc... As I look into this more, I can see it will be a pretty weighty task and want to make sure there aren't alternatives to this before I head down what looks like a fairly long, dark tunnel.
I'm still fairly new to iOS dev, so bear with me if I come back with "noob" questions.
Thanks in advance!
The alternative is Core Text but it is a fairly long, dark tunnel, too.
