is there a way to determine which layout has been selected in a Google Meet - hangouts-api

In a Google Meet, you can click the vertical ellipsis and then change the layout.
I have written an extension for which the tiled layout gives the best results, but I can't seem to find (programmatically) which view is being used. Any tips or suggestions?

There is no mention as of today of getting or setting Meet layout in its documentation; neither you can list its activities or get them from System Parameters. If you need this feature, I would suggest you to open an Issue Tracker case asking for it. Feel free to ask me more if needed.

What happened to the new BigQuery UI feature to toggle display of nested values?

At some point earlier this year BigQuery's UI gained a feature that I really liked, the ability to expand/collapse the display of nested values. Unfortunately this feature seems to have disappeared.
There's a SO post at Changing BigQuery's view of nested or array data that contains some images that show this UI really well and I'm hoping the poster of that message won't mind my including them here:
As you can see the UI contained a little arrow button to toggle between the expanded and collapsed view.
I really liked this new feature and am disappointed that it no longer seems to be available. Does anyone know why it has gone and, more importantly, is it coming back?

PivotItemHeader in two rows?

I'm currently building an app where I use a PivotControl as the standard navigation. I managed to style the headers now but after some thought I realised that I should probably make the whole app sizeable for different screens. Not every screen (especially in IoT scenarios) will be a full HD screen :D
Thats the current control:
My problem now is that when I make the screen and the PivotItem smaller it just cuts off the end of the pivots like you can see at the right of the picture.
What I would rather have is that when the PivotItem gets smaller I want the Headers to stack.
Like in this quickly googled example:
But I don't know how I should make that possible...
Does anybody have an idea?
What are you trying to build?
Could the content be organized in other way?
Pivots or similar controls (tabs, segmented controls etc) work best with few items that are important to the user and deserve the central stage.
The screenshot you added violates several UI best practices and I suggest you find an alternative to structure your UI that is user friendly.

How to add scrolling option on component parameter GUI?

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.

Is it possible to resize a DateTimePicker or MonthCalendar Control in VB.net

Essentially I want to re-size my dateTimePicker control to fit its parent container. I have tried to do this both through the Control Editor and programmatically but I simply cannot get the drop down calendar to expand at all. So 2 part question:
a) Is this even possible to do?
b) Is there an easy-to-implement solution to having a good looking calendar that fits its parent field? (i.e. using a data grid or something similar)
Any help or knowledge is greatly appreciated!!!
The size of both objects is fixed and defined by the size of its font. Thus you might change its size by affecting the font size. This works fine with DateTimePicker but does not seem to work with MonthCalendar. After a quick research I have found a pretty curious recommendation on the MSDN forum: "you can consider third party MonthCalendar controls to meet your requirement temporarily".
There are quite a few third-party options (after a really quick search I found this) or you might even create one by your own. I personally haven't ever had any problem with the in-built controls but if the size is so important for you I guess that you would have to search/develop something by your own.
Further recommendation: rely on WPF which does contain a resizable control (DatePicker). I want to highlight here that I don't like WPF at all and that thus this recommendation is because I don't see any other option (inside .NET).

How to customize issue display in YouTrack?

Is there a way to customize the style for the issue displayed from search?
The specific features I am looking for:
To be able to choose whatever fields to display and the order. The popup windows
from "Visibility Setting" does not seem to work completely for this purpose.
To break down issues into groups with headings, such as priorities, milestone, etc
(again, from user choice).
Here is the sample screen from fogbugz:
Anyway to do the same? That is the simple useful feature I assume must be already supported.
I have search the doc, but could not find an answer.
Thanks.
What you request is clear, but unfortunately, it's not possible.
