I have a yfiles.canvas.Control, with some nodes inside. However, the number of nodes is getting bigger, and I need to add a scrollbar in order to vertically navigate through them, despite the reduced size in height.
How can I do this? I see that a ScrollBar class exists, but I don't know how to integrate it.
yFiles for HTML comes with scrollbars built in. You can customize their visibility, but by default they will be shown as soon as the content rectangle is larger than the visible area. Maybe calling updateContentRect is all that is missing in your code?

I am working on a Qt-UI with PyQt and found this nice snipped to create a custom collapsible box widget here: How to create collapsible box in PyQt
I have just replaced the internal QScrollArea by a QFrame.
It works perfectly, as long as the content of the layout that is added stays the same.
However, I allow the user to add or remove widgets from that layout dynamically during use. Here I need some help. I am adding a Grid Layout with, say, 3 widgets inside there (initial creation of the box with .setContentLayout) and once the user adds a 4th widget:
the layout is compressed and keeps its original size
all widgets inside are compressed to fit in the newly created one
overall size of the collapsible box is kept constant.
I have played with various options like updateGeometry() on the content_area and all surounding widgets. It seems I don't fully understand what this code does, I am not really familiar with these animations yet. My best guess is, that the animation somehow blocks the update of the height of the collapsible box, causing the layout to be compressed.
I would be really happy for a pointer where to look / what to adjust to get the size of the collapsible box reacting to the size of the containing layout.
Thanks!
I'm working on a GTK program in Rust (someone can probably answer this if they don't know Rust, as I can figure out how to translate between different bindings and the native C API) via the gtk-rs bindings for which I want to have a non-editable TextView who's contents are constantly updated in my code. I want the user to be able to resize the TextView to any size, after which my code will re-calculate its contents accordingly. Unfortunately, GTK prevents any resize from taking place that would hide any contents that are current in the TextView. I can't use a ScrolledWindow because I don't want visible scrollbars, and disabling the scrollbars on a ScrolledWindow prevents the resizing behavior that I want. I also tried calling set_size_request to set the size to both 1, 1, and 0, 0 after every text change, but this does not change the behavior at all either — the user still can't properly resize the TextView (by resizing the window).
How can I enable the resizing behavior that I want?
Probably this is not possible. What would be the point of resizing the text view smaller, if the user can never see the text that is outside of the viewport because you don't want scrollbars? That seems like it would confound the user's expectation of how such a component would usually work.
Maybe an approach could be that you pick a certain number of lines to show, make that the size of the viewport, and delete the old contents of the text view that scroll outside of the viewport?
below i attached an app help guide screen. I am understanding how to build this screen.
If any body have idea please share here
View with semi transparent background color (backgroundColor:"rgba(0,0,0,0.5)";) and some images on top of it.
So, using images is bad. You'll need images for translations and if you do this as one image you'll need to ensure all devices are covered so your arrows point to the right element.
Minimise images == smaller app.
First thing you'll need to do is a create a blocker view -- so that's a view that will fill the screen and have a black background with opacity.
You can't apply that to the window as everything in it will be semi-transparent so:
Create a transparent Window that fills the screen.
Add to that window a view that fills the window and has opacity say 0.5 and black background
Add to the Window (not the view you just created) the other elements and button -- ideally, these should be individual graphics of the arrows, sized in such a way that you can position them based on the host element (the item they are pointing to / referring to). Use real text so you can handle translations / reduce file size.
So you'll need a way to associate each tip with a control they are anchored too, and that will ensure that regardless of the screen size, the tip will appear in the correct place.
First of all, always give a try before putting questions anywhere because it makes you learn things on your own for long time.
The easiest step for you to do this is to ask your designer to create a complete image just like that & you just have to show it on top.
If you have to show that image in different translations, then you can ask your designer to provide you required translations images.
Think I'm missing the obvious here, but I have a Bookstrap 3 navbar that works great in desktop view but as I squeeze the width and it gets to tablet size rather than collapsing into the toggle menu it's jumping the menu onto two lines:

I've tried reducing the text size in the navbar via a media query but that isn't solving it.
What am I missing?
Appreciate it. Thank you.

One solution might be to change the point at which the navbar collapses, you can do this by creating a customized Bootstrap and setting the #grid-float-breakpoint to a larger number.
This variable unfortunately also influences the dt and dd inside a .dl-horizontal which might be a problem.
If you want to use a media query to reduce the font-size you can use the .navbar-default .navbar-nav > li > a selector. It however needs to become 9px at the smallest viewport size to still stay on a single row which is quite unreadable.
From the Bootstrap documentation:
Overflowing content
Since Bootstrap doesn't know how much space the content in your navbar needs, you might run into issues with content wrapping into a second row. To resolve this, you can:
Reduce the amount or width of navbar items.
Hide certain navbar items at certain screen sizes using responsive utility classes.
Change the point at which your navbar switches between collapsed and horizontal mode. Customize the #grid-float-breakpoint variable or add your own media query.
It goes on to say:
Changing the collapsed mobile navbar breakpoint
The navbar collapses into its vertical mobile view when the viewport is narrower than #grid-float-breakpoint, and expands into its horizontal non-mobile view when the viewport is at least #grid-float-breakpoint in width. Adjust this variable in the Less source to control when the navbar collapses/expands. The default value is 768px (the smallest "small" or "tablet" screen).
I'm trying to create a live tile for my application, using a user control.
The user control contains a grid, an image and a rectangle filled with color.
Now here comes the funny part.
I want the rectangle to act as a background for the tile's title, and the image to fill the rest of the tile. And i said to myself, well, lets put some rows in that grid and set the like you usually set them in a WPF/SL application.
I then write the entire thing in a WBM and save it to isostore.
The problem is, the parser seems to ignore the presence of grid's rows. regardless of what I try, the rectangle is not shown, and the image covers the full tile, when it should only cover the first row. It is as if the grid didn't even existed.
Another funny aspect is that it doesn't matter if I use rows or columns, the result is the same.
Any ideas?
Are you using the following method?
Dynamic LiveTile - adding background image?
I recently implemented a Live Tile using a Grid with Rows and Columns for layout of some TextBlocks. I encountered similar challenges, so I placed the control that I was using for my Live Tile on a blank page in my app to better see what was happening. Does the control render correctly when displayed on a page (versus being rendered to a WriteableBitmap)?
Another idea. Instead of trying to position the Rectangle relative to the tile's Title, why not leave the Title property blank and put the same text in a TextBlock within the user control?
If you are careful about the font and positioning of the TextBlock, the text on the resulting background image can appear indistinguishable from text displayed from the Title property. I decided to follow this strategy myself. I found the font information in the following answer:
Font size and family for a tile's title
Otherwise, could you post an example of the XAML you are using?
