IN my metro application i want to create a semantic view for the page.
For that i am manually creating a grouped collection object using foreach loop. I am not using LINQ to group the object collection because of some reason .
SO now when i try to populate semantic zoom it displays nothing(no semantic zoom).
How can i bind my own collection to grouped collection source
XAML
<CollectionViewSource x:Name="GroupedSource" IsSourceGrouped="true" />
Code behind file
GroupedSource.Source =context.Collection; // my own grouped collection..
When using LINQ it working fine.But i cant use lINQ because of some reasons
Is there anything else i need to do to get
Try using this code to set the source:
(semanticZoom.ZoomedOutView as ListViewBase).ItemsSource = GroupedSource.View.CollectionGroups;
Need a bit more detail, but. The IsSourceGrouped="true" is only half of the story unless you bind to a hierrachal datasource. You need to specify the property that contains the child collection - ItemsPath="myItems" as an xaml property of the CollectionViewSource. If that is not the issue it may be a case of precidence of execution. put a break point and check context.Collection is populated before it is used, if context.Collection is an ObservableCollection you should be able to populate at anytime (ie. async fill).
<CollectionViewSource x:Name="GroupedSource" IsSourceGrouped="true" ItemsPath="Items" />

I'm trying to check if a value is contained in the innertext of a webelement but I'm having a little problem: frames seem to change at every refresh of the pages.
These are the steps I've recorded:
Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").Frame("dme2_header").Image("Gestione Anagrafiche").Click<br>
Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").Frame("dme2_appl").WebEdit("pdrBean.pdrPod").Set parameter("POD")<br>
Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").Frame("dme2_appl").WebButton("Cerca").Click
Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").Frame("dme2_appl_2").Image("show_files").Click
Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").Frame("dme2_appl_6").Image("Lente").Click
cctype = Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").Frame("dme2_appl_7").WebElement("arrow_down").GetROProperty("innertext")<br>
DataAct = Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").Frame("dme2_appl_7").WebElement("arrow_down_2").GetROProperty("innertext")<br>
Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").Frame("dme2_header").Image("Gestione Anagrafiche").Click
The frames "dme2_appl6" and "dme2_appl7" changes at every refresh of the two pages.
The question is simple: how can I rewrite these two actions to make them universal?
I've tried to do something like:
Set objFrame = Frame("title:=dme2_appl_.")
and then
Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").objFrame.Image("Lente").Click
But QTP gives me an error in return: "property or method not supported by the object"
Please try using the below code
Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").Image("Lente").Click
Avoid using the "Frame" and if you really want to use it, put regex for name property of Frame.
Go to Object Properties--> Click on the Frame object --> Mandatory Properties--> Change name property as
like iFrame_213123123 to i.*
Hope this will solve your problem.
I don't think you can use a frame object that way. When you write Page().Frame() UFT sets the frame's parent in different way than if you first create the Frame.
Think of Frame() as a function that behaves differently when called on a Page or as a free function.
Try:
Browser("SystemPage").Page("SystemP").Frame("title:=dme2_appl_.")
I'm on ExtJS 4 and using an MVC approach. I've created a simple grid view class, and have added a componentquery type 'ref' to that view in my controller. Within the initial grid view itself I set several columns to be hidden and some to be visible by default. The rendering of the grid with those settings is all working fine.
Then I have a button that, when clicked and based on some other conditions, will make some of the initially hidden grid columns visible. This works as well.
But what I need is a way to later 'reset' the grid to its initial view (with the correct columns hidden/visible, as they were initially).
I've tried various permutations of the following with no effect:
var theGrid = this.getTheGrid();
theGrid.reconfigure(store, theGrid.initialConfig.columns);
theGrid.getView().refresh();
I suppose I could loop through every column and reset its 'hidden' state, but would think there's a way to just 'reset' back to what's set in the class? Advice?
SOLUTION UPDATE
Appreciate the pointer from tuespetre. For anyone coming along in the future looking for specifics, here is what was needed (at least for my implementation):
Within the view, moved the column defs into a variable
Within the view, columns ref within the class becomes:
columns: myColumns,
Within the view, the following function created within the class:
resetGrid: function(){
this.reconfigure(null, myColumns);
},
Within the controller:
var theGrid = this.getTheGrid();
theGrid.resetGrid();
You will just need to create a function on your view class to encapsulate that functionality.
I've scoured the dojo documentation, stack overflow, as well as thoroughly explored the EnhancedGrid object itself with firebug, and I'm not finding answers.
I have an enhanced grid that I populate with values for the user to sort on and basically create a selection set (using indirectSelection plugin). They then have a button to zoom to the selected items on a map.
The problem is, when sorting columns, it doesn't change the order of the items in the store itself, where I'm keeping an object inside each item that tells me how to zoom on the map, so I have no way to reconcile the grid.selection.selected array indices with the store._arrayOfAllItems indices.
edit: Note that I'm stuck using Dojo 1.6 as it's baked into the API I'm using.
Have a look at Dojo Object Store Tutorial.
You can set an idProperty to a Store, e.g.:
var employeeStore = new dojo.store.Memory({data:employees, idProperty: "name"});
Then you can operate the store with that id property using the get method like this:
// add a new employee
employeeStore.add({name:"George", department:"accounting"});
// remove Bill
employeeStore.remove("Bill");
// retrieve object with the name "Jim"
var jim = employeeStore.get("Jim");
Instead of using store._arrayOfAllItems. That way your grid.selection object will contain your id's values instead of array indexes (provided that your grid's store property is your store). This is the part that I'm guessing will work because I know for sure that the new dojo's dgrid does it that way, which I encourage you to use it BTW.
Hope it helps,
I have a Silverlight 4 OOB application which needs localizing. In the past I have used the conventional resx route but I have been asked to follow the architecture of an existing winforms app.
All the strings are currently stored in a database - I use a webservice to pull these down and write them into a local Effiproz Isolated Storage database. On Login I load a Dictionary object with the language strings for the users language. This works fine.
However, I want to automate the UI localization (the WinForms app does it like this):
Loop through all the controls on the page and look for any Textblocks - if there is a text property I replace it with the localized version. If the text is not found, then I WRITE the string to the database for localization.
This works ok on simple forms but as soon as you have expanders/scrollviewers and content controls then the VisualTree parser does not return the children of the controls as they are not necessarily visible (see my code below). This is a known issue and thwarts my automation attempt.
My first question is: Is there a way of automating this on page load by looping through the complex (non-visual) elements and looking up the value in a dictionary?
My second question is: If not, then is the best way of handling this is to load the strings into an app resource dictionary and change all my pages to reference it, or should I look into generating resx files, either on the server (and package it with the app as per normal) or on the client (I have the downloaded strings, can I make and load resx files?)
Thanks for any pointers.
Here is my existing code that does not work on collapsed elements and complex content controls:
public void Translate(DependencyObject dependencyObject)
{
//this uses the VisualTreeHelper which only shows controls that are actually visible (so if they are in a collapsed expander they will not be returned). You need to call it OnLoaded to make sure all controls have been added
foreach (var child in dependencyObject.GetAllChildren(true))
{
TranslateTextBlock(child);
}
}
private void TranslateTextBlock(DependencyObject child)
{
var textBlock = child as TextBlock;
if (textBlock == null) return;
var value = (string)child.GetValue(TextBlock.TextProperty);
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
{
var newValue = default(string);
if (!_languageMappings.TryGetValue(value, out newValue))
{
//write the value back to the collection so it can be marked for translation
_languageMappings.Add(value, string.Empty);
newValue = "Not Translated";
}
child.SetValue(TextBlock.TextProperty, newValue);
}
}
Then I have tried 2 different approaches:
1) Store the strings in a normal dictionary object
2) Store the strings in a normal dictionary object and add it to the Application as a Resource, then you can reference it as
TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=[Equipment], Source={StaticResource ResourceHandler}}"
App.GetApp.DictionaryStrings = new AmtDictionaryDAO().GetAmtDictionaryByLanguageID(App.GetApp.CurrentSession.DefaultLanguageId);
Application.Current.Resources.Add("ResourceHandler", App.GetApp.DictionaryStrings);
//http://forums.silverlight.net/forums/p/168712/383052.aspx
Ok, so nobody answered this and I came up with a solution.
Basically it seems that you can load the language dictionary into your global resources using
Application.Current.Resources.Add("ResourceHandler", App.GetApp.DictionaryStrings);
<TextBlock Text="{Binding [Equipment], Source={StaticResource ResourceHandler}}" />
and then access it like a normal StaticResource. We have the requirement of noting all our missing strings into a database for translation - for this reason I chose to use a Converter that calls a Localise extension method (so it can be done on any string in the code behind) which then looks up the string in the Dictionary (not the resource) and can do something with it (write it to a local DB) if it does not exist.
Text="{Binding Source='Logged on User', Converter={StaticResource LocalizationConverter}}"/>
This method works ok for us.
I am using the designer rehosting samples and am trying to put the generic types into the toolbox, however I can't seem to make it work.
I've tried XAML based:
<sapt:ToolboxItemWrapper AssemblyName="{StaticResource AssemblyName}">
<sapt:ToolboxItemWrapper.ToolName>
System.Activities.Statements.ForEach
</sapt:ToolboxItemWrapper.ToolName>
</sapt:ToolboxItemWrapper>
and code based:
Type t = Type.GetType("System.Activities.Statements.Foreach, System.Activities, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35");
ToolboxItemWrapper w = new ToolboxItemWrapper(t);
category.Add(w);
however neither of them seem to work. Any suggestions?
You are leaving out what isn't working but I assume you can't add a child activity to the ForEach in the designer.
If that is the case that is because the Body property is an ActivityAction not an Activity and it needs to be initialized. There are several ways of doing this but the easiest is to get started with the ForEachWithBodyFactory in the designer and drag that onto the design surface instead.
The following code works for me. I can drag the ForEach onto a workflow and add child items to it.
var cat = new ToolboxCategory("Standard Activities");
cat.Add(new ToolboxItemWrapper(typeof(ForEachWithBodyFactory<>)));
