I am currently trying to use JS and puppeteer to take a screenshot of every url in my web app, as well as take a screenshot of every button that can be clicked. Is there a way to click each button without specifying the id? Not all of my buttons have an id and even if they did, I wouldn't want to have x number of page.click(id, options) for each button I have (which is quite a lot).
Thanks
I have tried going based off each className (this app is built using react) but this does not work. It will take a screenshot of the same buttons over and over. I believe because if page.click has multiple of the same options, it only chooses the first one and many buttons have the same styling classNames.
You could get an array of each element on a page, go through the elements with a for loop determine if it is a button, then click it. Then for each page you'd have to input each url in an array and then use a for loop to go through it.
Background:
My project uses the "Master Detail" project from Xamarin.Forms, so it comes equipped with the hamburger menu button in the top left which is supposed to be the main source of navigation throughout the app. However, my app requires the user to go through multiple of those screens without the use of the hamburger menu. But when a user uses my own buttons to change the detail, the hamburger menu still says the user is on the previous page.
For example, a user is on Page A. They click a button outside of the menu which sends them to Page B. The menu will still show Page A.
My Attempt:
I really didn't know where to start, so I tried taking the MenuItemType and passing it through the following function:
// This changes the screen without changing the menu and it works.
((MasterDetailPage)Application.Current.MainPage).Detail = new NavigationPage(new PageB());
// This was my attempt to change the menu.
(Application.Current.MainPage as MenuPage).RootPage.NavigateFromMenu((id)MenuItemType.PageB);
But that returned a Null Reference Exception when run.
I've also tried manually calling the list view associated with the hamburger menu and changing the selectedItem property, but that didn't work either. Is there any way to change the selected menu?
For Clarity:
Since StackOverflow won't let me post a video, here's a link to how the app acts. As you can see, I use the Menu to go to the "About" Page. I click a button on the screen which takes me back to the "Browse" Page. However, when I open the menu, it still says "About" is selected. I can't reselect "About" until the menu moves away, meaning I have to reopen "Browse" despite already being on that screen.
What I'm looking for is a function which will automatically change the selected menu item to "Browse" when I press that button on the "About" Page. The app is currently using a Master Detail Page which has the "Detail" component changing from the About Page to the Browse Page. The menu page is a Content Page which came built with the app beforehand.
I have an array of Web Pages and LOCAL HTML files that I want to display using the Web Browser control in a VB.Net application. I set the navigate property from the first file in my array and I get to it OK. I want to stay there for some interval, then display the next one. I set a timer after I navigate to the first one then want to navigate to the second one after the timer pop but It flashes the first one then the second one. Is there method I can use to hold the first one for some interval, then display the second, then the third ETC?
Thanks

I'm struggling with the activation lifecycle for my app. I just want to save the state for the current page whenever the app is hidden or whenever the user navigates to a different page. Conversely, I want to restore the state whenever the user launches my app or navigates back to that page.
In the following case, I detect that the app was made hidden so I store the page's state, but I never get notified that the app was reactivated so I can restore the state:
(on surface)
1. launch app
2. press start
3. drag app from left edge of screen and drop it back into focus
I was hoping the Resuming event would do it, but no. Which event should I use?

For the whole app, check Window.Activated, for individual pages you can use Page.OnNavigatedFrom / Page.OnNavigatedTo.
I have a page with a viewPanel and a dialog. When an item in the viewPanel is clicked, the dialog opens, prompting the user to make changes to that item, and offering them the option to generate a report of the item in PDF format.
At first, I tried putting the PDF creation onto a button, as described here: http://www.eknori.de/2011-10-25/xpages-to-pdf-with-itext/ However, whenever the button is pressed, I get a "NotFoundError: DOM Exception 8" which seems to stem from the dojo JS. So currently I have an alternative whereby the button simply sets some sessionScope variables and opens a pdf.xsp XPage, where the variables are read back and the PDF is created.
The PDF gets created correctly, but it also means that the page that the user is on won't be refreshed to display their new change in the viewPanel. I've tried adding page redirects at the bottom of the XPage which creates the PDF, but with no luck.
So, how can I create a PDF and prompt a user to download it, but also refresh the page that they are currently on?
Are you isseuing an partial refresh on the button to hide your dialog and to execute the code for pdf generation? If so you I think that there is your problem. What you could do is to do a partial refresh on the onClose() method of the dialog to refresh the viewpanel. In the clientside onunload method you could open a so called xAgent which renders the pdf for you in a new window (window.open(pdf.xsp?docid=xxx). Take a look here: NotesIn9: 039 Creating PDF’s with XPages Part 2
Of cours the problem with this approach is that when you have a button / image in yoru viewpanel row that displays if the report has been created is not shown because the xagent runs after the / during the time the viewpanel row is being refreshed.
