I'm designing a page in SharePoint 2010 which would have 10 WebCharts in it.
And on top of that page, I have to keep one drop down control which should allow the user to select different set of WebCharts as per the options they select.
For instance - if the user selects the Option-A, then he should be provided with first 5 charts and when he goes for Option-B, then he should be provided with next 5 charts. On the other hand, if he selects 'All' then he should be provided with all the 10 charts.
I have spent more time in searching for some relevant thread, but couldn't find the needed one. So please help in achieving this requirement.
Thanks for your help!
you can do this with a bit of js and css.
it will still load all charts, but if thats okay, then you can try this.
create you ddl, capture the selection.
if you wrap your charts with a div for the first 5 and a second div for the other 5 charts you can do something like
option a
$('#divA').show();
$('#divA').hide();
option b
$('#divA').hide();
$('#divB').show();
option c
$('#divA').show();
$('#divA').show();
for capturing the change event you can easily find other posts
Detect when a specific <option> is selected with jQuery
you will also have to inject a display none into the second div, since I assume you want option a visible by default.
you can use cookies to persist the change.
good luck

I have a userform that makes use of dynamic controls, however if the user makes a mistake and enters the wrong number into a textbox they receive the wrong number of dynamic controls for example:
If a user enters 5 in my textbox they will receive 5 listboxs but if they then decide that they need 3 listboxs instead of 5 they will still see 5 listboxs because the dynamic controls haven't been removed and added again.
I know that I could reset the entire form but I don't want to do this because there is information in fixed controls that I want to keep available to the user. So what I am trying to ask is: Is it possible to remove and add dynamic controls during run time? I have read numerous articles on this matter but with no luck.
Assuming you store the control references in an array/collection/whatever, you can loop through that and delete all the ones you created - or only delete the difference in number e.g. the last two.
I have a table that has a series of filters across the top of it (as per usual.) This table feeds a massive graph that has multiple series of data in it. In order to hide different series of data I have grouped the information in the tables. I can then click on the minus button to remove a series of data from the graph by collapsing the group, or click the plus button to add it back in the same way. Yes, I know, not the best solution. It was an early effort, what can I say? My default is for all data to be hidden (all groups collapsed).
I have a user (a very important user) who wants to be able to use the filters across the top to find the specific series they are looking for. The filter will find the collapsed series just fine, but the series will not display because it is collapsed.
So, What I'm trying to do is get all groups to auto-expand when the filter is activated. This should work as a stop gap measure until I can simply redesign the chart.
The Problem: I can't figure out how to make Excel notice when the filter has been clicked on (or otherwise used). I've tried using Worksheet_Change and Worksheet_SelectionChange, but neither of them activate the code I have set up in the listener. That code, FYI, checks to make sure the filter is in use and adjusts the groupings accordingly. It should work fine if I can just get Excel to notice it's existence.
I've looked into making my own listener, but there's nowhere in the code I can insert it to make it activate. I just need a listener that will notice when the filter has been changed.
Any thoughts? After an hour of searching I'm stumped...
Okay, after some research I figured out a work around. The big problem here is that changing a filter does not raise any events that can be heard by VBA. Big problem.
Simple Solution: Create something that will activate a listener.
What I ended up doing was finding a cell somewhere outside of my table that wasn't going to be affected by the collapses, then I added a very simple formula (=Count(H:H)). Now whenever the table is collapsed the count is affected which activates the Worksheet_Calculate listener. And voila! I can dynamically change the groupings all I want :-).
So there you have it. If you need to detect a filter being activated via a Worksheet listener, you just need to set up a formula to activate the calculate listener.
Reference: [MSDN Article on the same thing].1 There is apparently a much more robust way to fix this problem as well which is detailed in the article.
You mentioned table, so assuming it's PivotTable you may try,
Worksheet_PivotTableUpdate(ByVal Target As PivotTable)
If it's simply a Targe Range change then,
If Intersect(Target, Range("A2"))
I have a Silverlight 4 app with RIA services. It's based on Tim Heuer's video and I have pretty much the same setup.
I have a DomainDataSource, a set of DomainDataSource.FilterDescriptors, a Datagrid which display 15 items per page with the help of a DataPager. When the user enters their filtering options, the datagrid updates accordingly but is still multiple pages which is okay for viewing on screen. I want to implement a print function that essentially prints the datagrid but all items at once and on multiple pages, if need be.
I have played around with printing basics and I can print the datagrid as it is exactly displayed on screen but I want to be able to print all items.
I'm not finding any good examples on the web. Can anyone suggest an approach to tackle this?
Thanks
Edit:
Not sure how helpful it's going to be but here's the XAML outline.
So one problem will be that when the user says they want to print, you'll presumably then want to ensure all the data is on the client (by executing some larger query), but let's assume you've taken care of that and have all the data on the clien and just want to focus on printing now.
In that case, I'd point you to David Poll's excellent additional printing helpers ( blog post here : http://www.davidpoll.com/2010/04/16/making-printing-easier-in-silverlight-4/ ). He provides a library (with full source) that basically takes an ItemsControl (or lots of other things, but ItemsControl is particularly relevant here) and paginates it automatically.
So you'd create a separate UserControl that has a "print view" of your data, which contains a DataGrid not limited to 15 items, removes paging UI, and basically gets everything "print-ready" (sort of like a print CSS sheet if you're familiar with that concept). Just point his library at that print view of your data, with all the data already on the client, and you should be just about all set.
How many times have we seen this type of selector:
List Box Selector http://geekswithblogs.net/images/geekswithblogs_net/dotNETvinz/MoveItemsListBox.jpg
I was just about to start creating this in a WinForms app, when I thought that others may have some ideas for doing this better. We need it to sort - so the right hand list will need up/down buttons. But this seems so old school. I love devexpress components, and was thinking of asking them if they would consider adding a component that handles this functionality with a slick UI.
I am thinking that a graphical representation of the objects, and a graphical representation of the listboxes - that would be a more intuitive way to move items around.
Has anyone seen an open source project like this?
If a CheckListBox won't suffice (and it usually will), then the "modern" approach would be to use a ListView or similar component with a "Transfer" column. Render the button inline in that column, one for each row, so that it only takes one click to move an item from one to the other.
You see this everywhere in Vista, usually with hyperlinks as opposed to buttons. Instead of clicking on an item and then choosing an action, you click the action at the item level.
I wouldn't go overboard with slickness as it can impair functionality, but the dual-listbox screen is definitely old-school.
Also, if there's a very large amount of data to manage, it helps to provide a progressive search at the bottom of one or both lists.
I have done this type of selection using (essentially) a single CheckListBox that displays each item as an image. Part of the image looks like a LED, which is on (bright) if the item is selected or off (dark) if it is not selected.
This works well if you have a reasonable amount of data to select from, and also works well in a multi-column format if you can predict that the options will have reasonably similar lengths.
Allow users to drag items in/out of list 2, and also drag to reorder in list2.
(All items dragged out of list2, and dropped anywhere outside the list, get put back into list 1, in their correct place in the list by alphabetical or natural order.)
You can merge the two list boxes into one with the help of groups (LVGF_GROUPID flag): one group for selected and one for not selected.
You can also implement group membership changes with drag-drop between them. This way single drag-drop can move an item into the other group at the appropriate position, saving most/all of the other buttons.
Additionaly the bottom of each group can have one pseudo item with help text (i.e. "Drag items here to...") that is visible only when relevant.
I am creating a web control in vb.net that contains a list box. I know that I am able to choose a selection mode of Single or Multiple, but I am interested in limiting a Multiple selection to a predetermined size. For example preventing a user from selecting more than 3 items.
I have tried adding a Validator to the list box, which might be a way forward, but was wondering if there was a way of changing the selection mode to something a bit different than just the two specified ones.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Edit: Unfortunately due to project limitations I am unable to use Javascript on this problem. very annoying I know!
You could try handling one of the SelectedIndexChange events. With multiple selection, each time this event fires you can check how many items have already been selected. If it is more than you want, have the handler deselect the one that was just selected. You could also put up a little red label under the listbox saying "Sorry, no more than [n] selections allowed."
EDIT:
Just noticed you said WEB. Same theory applies, but it would have to be done using Javascript.
On the SelectedIndexChanged event, write a short piece of code that will check the number of selected items and if it is greater than your desired amount, unselect the new selection (or unselect the oldest one, or however you wish this to operate).
