I can't seem to find any information on this, but does anyone know if it is possible to use an embedded image from my.resources within an ObjectListView SubItem?
I am currently using images stored in an ImageList control, but I find for some reason, those images get corrupted and start displaying imperfections. I don't have the problem if I pull them from the embedded resources as I previously have with the normal listview control.
I am using the ImageGetter routine to return a key reference the ImageList, however, ultimately I would like to pull these from embedded resources. I would like to also do this for animated GIF references as well.
If anyone knows a way, could you please assist. Sample code would be appreciated.
Thanks
You can return three different types from the ImageGetter
int - the int value will be used as an index into the image list
String - the string value will be used as a key into the image list
Image - the Image will be drawn directly (only in OwnerDrawn mode)
So option number 3 could be what you want. Note that you have to set objectListView1.OwnerDraw = true.
If that does not work, an alternative could be to load the images into the ImageList at runtime. There is an example here.
this.mainColumn.ImageGetter = delegate(object row) {
String key = this.GetImageKey(row);
if (!this.listView.LargeImageList.Images.ContainsKey(key)) {
Image smallImage = this.GetSmallImageFromStorage(key);
Image largeImage = this.GetLargeImageFromStorage(key);
this.listView.SmallImageList.Images.Add(key, smallImage);
this.listView.LargeImageList.Images.Add(key, largeImage);
}
return key;
};
This dynamically fetches the images if they haven’t been already fetched. You will need to write the GetImageKey(), GetSmallImageFromStorage() and GetLargeImageFromStorage() methods. Their names will probably be different, depending on exactly how you are deciding which image is shown against which model object.

In After Effects scripts, if you want your script to be able to be docked in the program's workspace, the only way to do it as far as I know is to use a resource string like this:
var res = "Group{orientation:'column', alignment:['fill', 'fill'], alignChildren:['fill', 'fill'],\
group1: Group{orientation:'column', alignment:['fill', ''], alignChildren:['fill', ''],\
button1: Button{text: 'Button'},\
},\
}";
myPanel.grp = myPanel.add(res);
The above code creates a script UI with one button ("button1") inside a group ("group1").
I would like to know other ways to create the same resource string. Is it possible to make it using a JSON object and then stringifying it??
I know it can be done somehow, because I have inspected the Duik Bassel script that is dockable and, for example, adds elements like this:
var button1 = myPal.add( 'button' );
but I cannot understand how to do it myself.
TL;DR: I want to make a dockable scriptUI without writing a giant string all at once, but bit by bit, like a floating script.
UI container elements have an add() method which allows you to add other UI elements to them, and you can treat them as normal objects.
var grp = myPanel.add("group");
grp.orientation = "column";
grp.alignment = ['fill', 'fill'];
grp.alignChildren = ['fill', 'fill'];
var group1 = grp.add("group");
…
var button1 = group1.add("button");
button1.text = 'Button'
More details and examples here: https://extendscript.docsforadobe.dev/user-interface-tools/types-of-controls.html#containers
Also worth checking out https://scriptui.joonas.me/ which is a visual scriptUI interface builder. You have to do some work on the code it produces to get panels for AE, but it's not hard.
extendscript still uses a 20th century version of javaScript, which doesn't have JSON built-in, but I have successfully used a JSON polyfill with it.
I used json2.js to get structured data in and out of Illustrator, and it worked beautifully, but I can see there's now a json3.js which might be better for whatever reason. This stackoverflow question addresses the differences.
To load another .js file (such as a polyfill) into your script, you need to do something like
var scriptsFolder = (new File($.fileName)).parent; // hacky but effective
$.evalFile(scriptsFolder + "/lib/json2.js"); // load JSON polyfill
These file locations may differ in other Adobe apps. Not sure what it would be in AfterEffects. I seem to remember that InDesign has a different location for scripts. You can also hardcode the path, of course.
Good luck!
I have a problem with my assignment.
After receiving data in real time, I can create and show 1 moving object image on a background from C++ to qml using ImageProvider (this is simple and done). However, my assignment requirements: "Click on button to generate dynamically a number of object moving independently (example 3 objects, but it should not be fixed). So I decided to create 3 threads for each item, each thread will be received data and update to image separately. However, my problem is:
In qml file, I must declare a code segment for update a image such:
Image {
id: id_image
source: "image/MyImageProvider/id_image
cache: false
function reload(){
source = "";
source = "image/MyImageProvider/id_image"
}
Connections {
target: MyObject
onSignal_reload:{
id_image.reload()
}
}
How could I do the similar thing when I can not know number of object in advanced? Anyone have idea? Thanks.
You could put the Image Item into a Repeater.
Then subclass the QAbstractItemModel and use this as model for the Repeater.
Take a look at the example at

Does anyone have any experience with using a url to target a specific slide in a Soliloquy slider? I am using multiple sliders that I need to link to specific slides of from external pages/sites. The Soliloquy Docs provide this info (soliloquywp.com/docs/dynamically-set-the-starting-slide/) as closest to the solution but, for a php noob like me, the explanation is a bit terse and lacking, my fault, not theirs.
The example given in the docs seems to be a custom filter for a specific slide in a specific slider. I need to target slides in multiple sliders with urls. I guess I need help understanding the filter's function. I have commented out what I think each part does. Maybe someone could show me where I'm wrong?
//OP: I don't understand, what ids/slides are represented by the 10 and 2 values in these parameters. Where do I find these?
add_filter( 'soliloquy_pre_data', 'tgm_soliloquy_dynamic_starting_slide', 10, 2 );
function tgm_soliloquy_dynamic_starting_slide( $data, $slider_id ) {
// If the proper $_GET parameter is not set or is not the proper slider ID, do nothing.
//OP: Is the 'sol_slide' parameter for ALL soliloquy sliders in my site or is it the name in the Dashboard given when constructing the slider?
if ( empty( $_GET['sol_slide'] ) ) {
return $data;
}
// Change this if you want to target a specific slider ID, or remove altogether if you want this for all sliders.
//OP: I believe to target ALL sliders in my site I should comment this out. Right?
if ( 51064 !== $slider_id ) {
return $data;
}
// Set the slide number as a config property. Also preventing randomizing slides.
$data['config']['start'] = absint( $_GET['sol_slide'] );
$data['config']['random'] = 0;
// Optionally prevent autostarting the slider. Uncomment if you want that.
//$data['config']['auto'] = 0;
return $data;
}
Basically, I guess I am asking for a little help with implementing this filter to target any slide in any slider with a url. Slim odds, but I'm dead in the water! Big thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this for me.
Complete, correctly functioning answer is here provided the plugin author, of course, duh: http://soliloquywp.com/support/topic/a-way-to-link-directly-to-a-specific-slide/
The value "sol_slide" is generic to any slider created with the plugin. Just put the custom filter provided in the example into your, hopefully, child-theme's functions.php, and construct your urls targeting specific slides like so: http://mywebsite.com/specific-product-page-with-slider/?sol_slide=3. Slide numbering is based on zero so 1 = 2 etc. Works like a charm.
I'm using Dojo dnd version 1.7.2 and it's generally working really well. I'm happy.
My app maintains many arrays of items, and as the user drags and drops items around, I need to ensure that my arrays are updated to reflect the contents the user is seeing.
In order to accomplish this, I think I need to run some code around the time of Source.onDndDrop
If I use dojo.connect to set up a handler on my Source for onDndDrop or onDrop, my code seems to get called too late. That is, the source that's passed to the handler doesn't actually have the item in it any more.
This is a problem because I want to call source.getItem(nodes[0].id) to get at the actual data that's being dragged around so I can find it in my arrays and update those arrays to reflect the change the user is making.
Perhaps I'm going about this wrong; and there's a better way?
Ok, I found a good way to do this. A hint was found in this answer to a different question:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/1635554/573110
My successful sequence of calls is basically:
var source = new dojo.dnd.Source( element, creationParams );
var dropHandler = function(source,nodes,copy){
var o = source.getItem(nodes[0].id); // 0 is cool here because singular:true.
// party on o.data ...
this.oldDrop(source,nodes,copy);
}
source.oldDrop = source.onDrop;
source.onDrop = dropHandler;
This ensures that the new implementation of onDrop (dropHandler) is called right before the previously installed one.
Kind'a shooting a blank i guess, there are a few different implementations of the dndSource. But there are a some things one needs to know about the events / checkfunctions that are called during the mouseover / dnddrop.
One approach would be to setup checkAcceptance(source, nodes) for any target you may have. Then keep a reference of the nodes currently dragged. Gets tricky though, with multiple containers that has dynamic contents.
Setup your Source, whilst overriding the checkAcceptance and use a known, (perhaps global) variable to keep track.
var lastReference = null;
var target = dojo.dnd.Source(node, {
checkAcceptance(source, nodes) : function() {
// this is called when 'nodes' are attempted dropped - on mouseover
lastReference = source.getItem(nodes[0].id)
// returning boolean here will either green-light or deny your drop
// use fallback (default) behavior like so:
return this.inhertied(arguments);
}
});
Best approach might just be like this - you get both target and source plus nodes at hand, however you need to find out which is the right stack to look for the node in. I believe it is published at same time as the event (onDrop) youre allready using:
dojo.subscribe("/dnd/drop", function(source, nodes, copy, target) {
// figure out your source container id and target dropzone id
// do stuff with nodes
var itemId = nodes[0].id
}
Available mechanics/topics through dojo.subscribe and events are listed here

I have a label on top of the image view.
Every time some one pushes the button the label is filled with a string that comes from a server.
I have a button that calls the picker to select a photo from the picker but the label obviously keeps empty..
How can i make sure the string will be saved with the photo and when i call it back with the picker it fills the label again...
I need some tips/help...
i am using ASIHTTPREQUEST asynchronical call to fill the label...so it does not hang up...thats best practice right ? or should i use nsurl and nsstring with format ?
you may use imageview's tag and store each string with tag of image view.
Somethings are not clear here :-
1>from the client sid eyou can send a request to server with the image that has been changed and get the corresponding string(in a table probably you have have to store string for each image).
2>You might use a dictionary to store key(string) for every corresponding imageName and store it in a dictionary and if you want persistent storage you may use coredata or sqlite.
To ensure that both the image and string are shown at same time you can show an activityIndicator.
