bring page to foreground? multipage editor - eclipse-plugin

I'm develpping an RCP user interface. I have a multipage editor in which pages are editors (EditorPart). From a first page in my multipage editor I want to open a second one if a button is pressed. I've managed to do that but the problem that I'm facing is that the created page is visible only if we switch to it, i.e only the tab is visble.. what I want is to directly switch to the new page automatically after its creation. In other words, how can I bring the new page to foreground exactly when it is created.
Can you help me please
Kind Regards,
Jean

It seems to me that the calling the method org.eclipse.ui.part.MultiPageEditorPart.setActivePage(int) should do the trick.

Using puppeteer to automate button clicks for every button at every URL in a web app

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.

Add global button in CRM

Is there a way to add a new button to ALL PAGES in CRM?
I have tried different ways but in some views, the new button is shown at the end. Im trying to found a way to create a button and place it as first button, to any view, entity and page in CRM. Is this accomplisable?
I'm afraid that out-of-the-box buttons will often take precedence over custom buttons, and the only way to change that would be to hide the out-of-the-box buttons.
I'm assuming you are adding the button via the Application Ribbon, correct? (not every single form and grid)
You can add items to the "Jewel", (the dropdown from "File" in the top left). It's not exactly the same as putting it in the ribbon because you have to make an extra click, but it should show up globally.

PDF creation with page refresh

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.

How to create a nice add button to list view like in the Weather app?

Following these steps:
Open the Weather app.
Right click
Click on places
See that little item with the + symbol? I want to do something exactly like that, the looks and behaviour.
Assuming you are just trying to get some basic ideas about metro-ui controls and you are on Release Preview.
When you do right click, the control that's being triggered is called App Bar. The "place" button is a App Bar Command. Clicking on the button will take you to another page (HTML or XAML). This page contains a ListView control with GridLayout. You can dynamically change the ListView Template and assign different actions to the itemInvoke event.
Here is a quick tutorial for App Bar and commands:

How do I click a hyper link in a web browser automatically in vb.net?

Let's say my browser goes to a page similar to this one below ..
Picture Is Here
On this page there is a hyper link called 'Click Here' .. when I click it, it opens another window with things in it.
How can I click this hyper link in vb.net automatically without me clicking on it with the mouse, and how do I open the window in a second web browser ?
We can assume that the first browser is called (WebBroswer1 ) and the second one is called (WebBrower2).
I know how to perform buttons clicks and do raise the 'OnClick' Events, but I don't know how to do it with a hyper links.
Please any help will be appreciated, I look forward for solutions.
If you have jquery available in your webpage you can do something like
Say you have Click Here
you can programatically trigger the click of that link by doing:
$("#webbrowser2").trigger("click");
