I have a container element in which I create on the fly/place() a form, then another one..etc.
My goal is to switch between them i.e. hide all and show only the active form.
It hides alright, but I can't show the active back.
I tried using:
.style.display(none<->block) and visibility(visibility<->hidden)
dojo.style(...)
resize() and startup() after the changes
Several other variants i found on Internet from old dojo's
Nothing works.
/I need it to work with display, so that it does not occupy space./
Can you tell me what is the correct way to show and hide with dojo()
Also looked at this one :
How do I dynamically show and hide an entire TabContainer using DOJO?
Does not work.
The pseudo code I use is something like this :
....
//find or create the FORM element
form = dijit.byId(...);
if(typeof form != 'object') {
form = dojo.create('form', ....);
dojo.place(form,'containerx','last');
}
//hide all
dojo.query('#containerx > *').forEach(function(item){
dojo.style(item, 'visibility','hidden');// and all other variants i mentioned
})
//show only the current form
dojo.style(form, 'visibility','visible');
//if the dojo form obj was already created, then skip it
if (this.form_obj) return;
....build the form and the elements....
this.form_obj.startup()
thanx
I just answered the question in that thread you referenced in your question a few minutes ago. Basically it involved getting jQuery involved. Works great for me. I have all the tabs created statically (as opposed to programatically) and I'm able to manipulate whether they are shown or hidden with the help on jQuery. All the code any everything is in my post here:
How do I dynamically show and hide an entire TabContainer using DOJO?
Sounds like you might be looking for StackContainer functionality.
Just set things up so that the StackContainer has the dijit.form.Forms as children and you can use the selectChild method to choose what form to display.

I am trying to set up a QSelect driven by user input in order to achieve an "autocomplete" behavior. There are a few examples on the official documentation and they make use of the #filter callback.
I have currently two problems:
Whenever I click outside of the input field the input text is lost and the popup disappears.
If I click on the input the current text remains, but the pop is hidden until I click on it again.
For the latter issue, one workaround is to force the popup to show upon click:
<q-select
ref="input"
...
#click.native.prevent="onClick"
>
...
onClick(){
if( this.searchFilter.length > 0){
this.$refs.input.showPopup()
}
}
However, the inconvenience is that the popup still shortly disappears for a short while before showing again. I've also tried using #click.native.stop instead of #click.native.prevent to no avail.
As for issue number 1 I haven't even found a workaround yet.
Here is a related issue, though the popup disappearing was a wanted behavior in his case.
I set up a basic Pen to illustrate the issue. Try clicking on the input or outside the input at the same height.
The trick was to use #click.capture.native and then conditionally stop the propagation inside the callback function via event.stopImmediatePropagation() See it working here
I have a GridView as my zoomed out view in a SemanticZoom control. This GridView uses a custom DataTemplateSelector as the ItemTemplateSelector. It shows an item for each content group that my app shows.
The template is different depending on whether the group is empty or not. This works fine on load, but it doesn't update when a group becomes empty or stops being empty.
I've found that the ItemTemplateSelector is only run when the page is first shown. How can I force the DataTemplateSelector get run again.
The WPF questions on this topic all suggest triggers, but these aren't available in WinRT XAML.
I've found an answer to a similar WPF question that answers this in a way that works in WinRT:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/11327087/31569
Basically you set the ItemTemplateSelector to null and then set it again. Like this:
var templateSelector = MyGroupView.ItemTemplateSelector;
MyGroupView.ItemTemplateSelector = null;
MyGroupView.ItemTemplateSelector = templateSelector;
This works, but happy to be told if there is a better way to do this.
I find it easier to just just remove the item in need updating from the collection and adding it back. This forces the GridView or ListView to apply the template. This is easy to do in MVVM world.
var itemToReload; //The object who's template needs updating
var reloadIndex = this.SomeCollection.IndexOf(itemToReload);
this.SomeCollection.Remove(itemToReload);
this.SomeCollection.Insert(reloadIndex, itemToReload);
One thing to note, is that if the item is a "Selected" item, you'll need to reapply that selection.
I got a question to which I have no answer after a couple of hours of trying and googling :(
I've created three dojo.dnd.Source components. It is used to couple a user to a project so to the left I've got projects and to the right I've got my users and in the center I got a canvas. I set up the relevant creators and checkacceptance functions and all is well.
Onto the center canvas a user can drop a project which is shown as a div containing all related users as div elements. The other dndtype that can be dropped is the user type, in that case I want to empty the canvas and show all projects to which te dropped user is related. As soon as I drop a project or user on the canvas the creator function is called. The problem is that the creator function returns 1 element that should be dropped, if I drop a user I need to draw several elements onto the canvas so the creator method isn't fully covering this since it returns only one element.
To cope with the default behaviour I tried to manually add projects to the canvas and returning only one, I know it ain't pretty :S It's working but I'm confronted with strange behaviour, if I move a project on the canvas it is treated as a user in stead of a project.
Bottom line, is there a way that you guys know of to drop one item and create multiple. I was searching to trigger the drop event myself but to no avail.
Thanks!
The event you are looking for is Source's onDrop event. Check the API docs for some more events you could use: there is a onDropExternal and onDropInternal for use inside and between Stores.
require(["dojo/dnd/Source"], function(Source){
var source = new Source({
onDrop = function(source, nodes, copy) {
//called only on the current target, when drop is performed
this.inherited(arguments); //execute the default onDrop function
//now add the node(s) to the other stores here
//you might be able to just do something like:
source2.insertNodes(nodes);//but this is untested ;)
}
});
});
I see that there are three events fired when a tab is selected and I see the order in which the events are fired but I'm rather confused about which event to use or how these are truly different. If all three are fired, couldn't I just put my code in any of the events?
I must be missing something here. Can someone clarify?
So after messing with this more I'm going to share what I ended up doing in the hopes that it might help someone else.
I had to generate dynamic tabs based on data returned in an Ajax call. It's basically data by date where the tabs are the date and they display whatever data falls within that date.
Generating the tabs from the returned data was easy but I couldn't figure out how to write out the associated data. Finally (and I should have started here), I looked that the generated dom and noticed that a dynamically created tab also creates a div. Maybe that's obvious to some (it wasn't to me) and if it was in the documentation I missed it. Anyway, this code will generate tabs from an array and then append html to the associated div when the tab is clicked. I don't need all the variables but I thought that might make it more readable. Put the function for show before adding the tabs or it wont work!
var _sessionDates = getSessionDates(sessionData.Sessions);
var $tabs = $("#sub-tabs");
$tabs.tabs({
show: function(event, ui) {
var selected = $tabs.tabs('option', 'selected');
var _sessionDates = getSessionDates(sessionData.Sessions);
var grid = buildGrid(_sessionDates[selected]);
$('#' + _sessionDates[selected]).html(grid);
}
});
$(_sessionDates).each(function(i, dayOfShow) {
var d = dateFormat(dayOfShow, "mediumDate");
$tabs.tabs('add', '#' + dayOfShow, d);
});
Finally, I have to "scroll" through my data shown in the tab and I was able to do that with these two lines. The first line gives me the id of the div element corresponding to the selected tab (which is really the important part) and the second line just calls my method and passes in the id of the div less the '#'. My date is also my id. There's a global variable that I've changed outside of this that makes it work. I know that's bad and I'll remove it when I refactor it.
var $el = $($('#sub-tabs a')[$('#sub-tabs').tabs('option', 'selected')]).attr('href');
$($el).html(buildGrid($el.replace('#', '')));
select is triggered when a tab is clicked on, but before the tab has been shown
load is triggered after the contents of a remote tab have been loaded (i.e. a tab whose content is not part of the initial page payload, but that is loaded via an ajax call when the user clicks on the related tab)
show is triggered after a tab has been shown
The jQuery documentation makes this relatively clear, but I had to experiment in order to fully understand the difference between select and show.
This has been made more clear since the original question was asked so now the following is true:
Effectively, the functionality for "show" is now provided by "activate" and "select" is done with "beforeActivate" while "load" is still the same.
activate: (previously show) Triggered after a tab has been activated (after animation completes)
beforeActivate: (previously select) Triggered immediately before a tab is activated.
load: Triggered after a remote tab has been loaded.
Also provided are:
beforeLoad: Triggered when a remote tab is about to be loaded, after the beforeActivate event.
create: Triggered when the tabs are created.
I am using a Widget that contains a DataGrid object. The Widget works fine when included in the first tab (this is the visible tab), but not when I use the same code on a second tab.
The code is the same I have done several checks to make sure there are no other problems - and non Grid code is rendering fine - only the grid that has a problem. I have tried setting the height and width manually and this just results in a large grey rectangle on the second tab.
Do I need to tell the Grid to refresh in some way - or is it a property for the TabContainer?
Help - this is driving me mad!
Yeah, that's a big problem with the grid. If you use it declaritively in a tab container, it won't render properly on the non-visible tabs. It needs to calculate height/width (even though you specify them)...as you have seen.
The way I got around it was to create the grids programatically on tab select. I posted about my solution on the dojo forums. My code sample is over on github. It's a bit too large to post here methinks. Let me know if you want it, and i'll edit my answer.
There's also a discussion on nabble with a different solution.
"resize" works like a charm! Been looking for this for a long time (didn't know what I had to search for), thanks.
I use this routine to dynamically determine if the tab has more than one datagrid, as I may not know the ID of one single grid, maybe someone else might use that, too:
dojo.query('div#container div[id^="gridNode_"]').forEach(function(node, index, arr) {
dijit.byId(node.id).resize();
});
This will check the div with id="container" (skip that part if you want to search the whole DOM) for divs with an id starting with "gridNode_" and apply "resize" to those widgets.
An alternate approach is to resize the grid upon tab element selection. Sample code
dojo.connect(dijit.byId('my_tab_container'), "selectChild", function(child){
// if second tab (could be any...) selected
if(child.id == 'mySecondTabId'){
var myGrid = dijit.byId('myGridInsideTabId');
if(myGrid != null) myGrid.resize();
}
});
