I'm working on a plug-in, which contributes to the toolbar. The toolbar is listed in the Customize perstpective dialog. When I uncheck the check-box, the toolbar disappears as expected. But when the toolbar is updated from my code (using the toolbar manager), it gets displayed again. I need to get somehow the visibility status from code in order to prevent the toolbar from beeing updated when disabled.
Do you anybody have any idea, where the Customize perspective dialog stores the visibility status of menus and toolbars and how to get it from code, please?
You can get information by item ID this way:
private static boolean isToolbarItemVisible(String id){
IWorkbench workbench = PlatformUI.getWorkbench();
IWorkbenchWindow workbenchWindow = workbench.getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
return !((WorkbenchPage) workbenchWindow.getActivePage()).getHiddenItems().contains((ModeledPageLayout.HIDDEN_TOOLBAR_PREFIX + id + ","));
}

I have made a toolbar that has a Search Textbox, using the visual studio built in search for the toolwindowpane: https://learn.microsoft.com/pt-pt/previous-versions/visualstudio/visual-studio-2015/extensibility/adding-search-to-a-tool-window?view=vs-2015&redirectedfrom=MSDN
That is working just fine right now after overriding the methods, however i also added a toolbar to the toolwindow from the vsct file, however it is positioning the search and the toolbar in the same row:
Is there any way to position the search bar underneath the toolbar just like the solution explorer in visual studio? If not, is there a way to decrease the toolbar size so it uses the minimum space so it doesn't look weird like in the picture?
Thank you.
EDIT: Constructor of the class that inherits ToolWindowPane:
public CpcObjectsWindow() : base(null)
{
this.Caption = "CPC Objects";
// This is the user control hosted by the tool window; Note that, even if this class implements IDisposable,
// we are not calling Dispose on this object. This is because ToolWindowPane calls Dispose on
// the object returned by the Content property.
this.Content = new CpcObjectsWindowControl();
this.ToolBar = new CommandID(new Guid(CpcExtensionPackage.guidCpcExtensionPackageCmdSet), CpcExtensionPackage.cpcObjectsToolbar);
this.ToolBarLocation = (int)VSTWT_LOCATION.VSTWT_TOP;
}
I tried to add search to a tool window , a search control appears at the top of the tool window.
I tried to search form the ToolWindowPane Class but there is not any property can set the size of search bar. I think that you can submit a feature request on DC.
In my Xamarin forms application I want to disable the user interaction to current page when displaying a custom popup. How can I block user interaction to the toolbar also. User cannot touch the toolbar when showing the default alert box using the following method
DisplayAlert(...);
But i am using a custom popup. Please help me.
this.Content.IsEnabled = false;
It would turn off touch for all the content.
The most MVVM way would be to bind the IsEnabled property to a boolean value in your viewModel. On showing the popup you could toggle the value to false and then revert on dismissing the popup:
var label = new Label();
label.setBinding<ViewModel>(Label.IsEnabledProperty, vm=>vm.IsEnabledToggle);
I try to implement a custom ContextMenu in a LongListSelector.
I'm not using the ContextMenu from Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit, it's basically the same as in the Rowi App:
(source: hiddenpineapple.com)
Approach 1
My list item toggles a VisualState on hold and an overlay is shown with controls in it.
The problem
I can't find a way to go back to the default state when the user clicks outside of the list item (as in the default ContextMenu).
Approach 2
I've implemented a custom template for the toolkit ContextMenu which looks exactly the same. I had to move its margin top to -itemHeight, as by default it is below the item.
The problem
The problem with this solution is, that it automatically closes itself when opening and I couldn't figure out how to avoid this.
Another problem was that it didn't work well with TiltEffect.IsTiltEnabled from the Toolkit (visual problems).
I need your help
Any suggestions on how to get this working?
Answer
Thanks to Cheese, now I know how to properly close the menu when the user clicks outside.
His suggestion was to get the coordinates of a Tap event on the current page, and check if it's inside the menu. When not, close the menu.
So I added a Tap listener to the page when the menu opens, and removed it when the menu closes. From the page listener I got the event coordinates and could check if it's inside the control which holds the menu (same size and position). I received the position of the control with Point leftUpperPoint = control.TransformToVisual(page).Transform(new Point(0, 0)) and the rightLowerPoint by adding the ActualWidth and ActualHeight.
But then I realized:
Why should I even calculate if the tap is inside the menu? I always want to close the menu when the user taps anywhere on the screen. If it's outside, yes. If it's on a menu button, yes.
Another modification I made was to listen for MouseLeftButtonDown instead of Tap as it also triggers when the user swipes.
So I removed this code and came up with the following:
private void ToggleMenu(object sender, System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e)
{
PhoneApplicationFrame frame = ((PhoneApplicationFrame)Application.Current.RootVisual);
VisualState state = this.States.CurrentState;
if (state == null || state.Name == "DefaultState")
{
frame.MouseLeftButtonDown += MouseDownDelegate;
this.State = "MenuState";
}
else
{
frame.MouseLeftButtonDown -= MouseDownDelegate;
this.State = "DefaultState";
}
}
private void MouseDownDelegate(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
ToggleMenu(sender, null);
}
This works perfectly!
Thanks to Cheese for the hint.
Something like this by #denniscode http://dotnet.dzone.com/articles/rowi-show-tap-menu
Approach 1 problem
The best solution would be:
Get the menus coordinates, when user makes a tap - you check are tap coordinates on menu or not, if not - dissmiss - simple.
Approach 2 problem
I guess you had some button in a corner and when you tapped on it - nothing happened? And when you dissmissed the Tilt all worked. It seems that tilt works faster than a click, so, tilt changes the button coordinates, and device thiks you have missed/or dragged off
You can use what #ScottIsAFool suggested and maybe create another Dependency Property on your TapMenu control of type UIElement named CloseWhenTappedElement and automatically listen for Tap events inside your control once set. For example
<Grid x:Name="TapArea"/>
<TapMenu CloseWhenTappedElement="{Binding ElementName=TapArea"}/>
I am testing APK file. I dont have source code. I need to click on the action bar menu item
I have tried solo.clickonActionbaritems option and it did not work. Please help me. Many thanks!
I guess you want to click on Android Menu button:
Find your keycode here
solo.sendKey(KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MENU);
Also I highly recommend to use Hierarchy viewer in DDMS to find id of required button.
View requiredButton = getViewById(id.reqired_button_id);
solo.clickOnView(requiredButton);
// Method returns view
protected View getViewById(int id) {
View view = solo.getView(id);
assertNotNull("View is null", view);
assertTrue("View is not shown", view.isShown());
return view;
}
Also you can use clickOnText.
I need to provide a dynamic popup menu for all views. I can create a dynamic popup menu contributibution, but I must set the URI and register it for certain view. Now I'm trying to register the menu dynamically, when the user selects another view:
public class GlobalSelectionListener implements ISelectionListener {
HashSet<IWorkbenchPart> extended = new HashSet<IWorkbenchPart>();
#Override
public void selectionChanged(IWorkbenchPart part, ISelection selection) {
if (!extended.contains(part)) {
IWorkbenchPartSite wps = part.getSite();
if (wps == null)
return;
//creates popup menu for this part
MenuManager mgr = new MenuManager();
mgr.add(new DynamicMenu()); //DynamicMenu extends ContributionItem
wps.registerContextMenu("identifier." + mgr.hashCode(), mgr, wps.getSelectionProvider());
extended.add(part);
System.out.println(part + " menu extended");
}
}
}
But this does not work. No one menu item appears in popup menu. I don't know, whether is it ever possible to do it this way. Is there any method to add popup menu for arbitrary view dynamically? It seems, that the registerContextMenu() method does something else.
The problem was not solved, nevertheless there is a workaround. It is possible to register the pop-up menu in plugin.xml file for all views and editors needed. Usualy the number of plugin usecases is limited. If you're writting a plugin, you know what you need the plugin for. Use the Spy plug-in (ALT+SHIFT+F1) to see the active menu contribution identifiers and register your contribution to the pop-up menu of all views and editors you need.
