I have a requirement where I need to create a dojox.layout.ContentPane programmatically.
function constructContentPane(methodToBeCalled){
var testCntPane=new dojox.layout.ContentPane({
href: "some url",
executeScripts: true,
cleanContent: true,
onDownloadEnd: methodToBeCalled
}).placeAt("testContentPaneId");
testCntPane.startup();
}
This places the content pane inside testContentPaneId and calls methodToBeCalled method once the content pane is created.
I have two questions.
How do I check if the content pane is already created or not? I tried to check using the code below
if(dijit.byId("testContentPaneId") == undefined) {
//then don't create again
}
But this did not work. Each time it creates the content pane with the id dojox_layout_ContentPane_0. The last digit gets incremented each time.
Is this the right way to pass the onComplete method as argument? This is how I invoke this
constructContentPane(thisMethodWillBeCalled);
Is there any better way to do this? How do I invoke that method? I tried using eval(methodToBeCalled), but that did not work.
When you use the placeAt() method then the widget will be placed as a child to the specified dom node. I think in your case you should pass the dom directly to the constructor of the content pane.
Try doing like this instead:
var testCntPane=new dojox.layout.ContentPane({
href:"some url",
executeScripts:true,
cleanContent:true,
onDownloadEnd:methodToBeCalled
}, "testContentPaneId");
This will also make sure that the id of the content pane is testContentPaneId

I have two editors on the screen, one read-only. What I want to do is allow the user to select content from the read-only editor and paste it into the current position of the other by clicking a button. (the logic may manipulate the text which is one reason I don't want to use the system's clipboard.)
So far I have the function that is able to paste the text like as follows. (I am using the Angular wrapper which explains the presence of the CKEditorComponent reference.
doPaste(pasteEvent: PasteEvent, editorComponent: CKEditorComponent) {
const editor = editorComponent.editorInstance;
editor.model.change(writer => {
writer.insertText(pasteEvent.text, editor.model.document.selection.getFirstPosition() );
});
}
What I can't find from the documentation is how to extract the selected text. What I have so far is:
clickPasteSelectedPlain(editorComponent: CKEditorComponent) {
const editor = editorComponent.editorInstance;
const selection = editor.model.document.selection;
console.log('clickPasteAll selection', selection);
console.log('clickPasteAll selectedcontent', editor.model.document.getSelectedContent);
}
The selection appears to change depending on what is selected in the editor's view. The getSelectedContent function is undefined. How do I get the content?
With a bit of poking around I figured out how to do this. I'll document it here on the chance that it will help someone down the road avoid the process of discovery that I went through.
On the source document I have a ckeditor element like this:
<div *ngIf="document">
<ckeditor #ckEditor
[editor]="Editor" [config]="ckconfig" [disabled]="true"
[(ngModel)]="document.text"></ckeditor>
<button mat-flat-button (click)="clickPasteSelectedPlain(ckEditor)">Paste Selected Text Plain</button>
</div>
In the component the function called on the click event is like this:
#Output() paste = new EventEmitter<PasteEvent>();
...
clickPasteSelectedPlain(editorComponent: CKEditorComponent) {
const editor = editorComponent.editorInstance;
this.paste.emit({
content: editor.model.getSelectedContent(editor.model.document.selection),
obj: this.document,
quote: false
});
}
The PasteEvent is defined as an exported interface which I will omit here to save space. The content key will refer to a DocumentFragment.
Note that I am passing the CKEditorComponent as a parameter. You could also access it via an Angular #ViewChild declaration but note that my ckeditor is inside an *ngIf structure. I think that works well in Angular 6 but in the past I have had difficulty with #ViewChild references when the target was conditionally in the DOM. This method always works but use whatever method you want.
The event fired by the emit is processed with a method that looks like this:
doPaste(pasteEvent: PasteEvent, editorComponent: CKEditorComponent) {
const editor = editorComponent.editorInstance;
editor.model.insertContent(pasteEvent.content);
}
Because the content is a DocumentFragment the paste operation will include all formatting and text attributes contained in the selected source. But that's all there is to it.
I have a dropdownlist that is bound to a list in my model. Model.list_IDs
The current page is an "editing" page where a user would inherently change a property of the model by using the dropdownlist.
#Html.DropDownListFor(model => Model.ID, Model.list_IDs, new { style = "width:250px" })
The items within the dropdownlist are not intuitive, so I would like to provide a button, that when clicked, retrieves additional information via a stored procedure (called from the controller via a method called GetDetails)
The button is created through an action link, and I plan to display a partial view (like a focused pop up window) that shows the additional information once the button is clicked.
#Html.ActionLink(" ", "GetDetails", new { id = Model.ID.ToString() }, new { #class = "lnkMagnify16", title = "View Details" })
Obviously Model.ID.ToString() is incorrect, because it will only send the model's current ID, rather than the ID currently selected in the dropdownlist.
How can I change Model.ID.ToString() to represent the dropdownlist's current selected item?
I know there is a way to do this using FormMethod.Post (Get selected item in DropDownList ASP.NET MVC) but I do not want to reload the page with a submit button. I'd also like to avoid "third party" approaches like JavaScript if possible.
JavaScript is not a "third party" approach, and it's also the only way to accomplish what you want here. Whether by a standard form post or via AJAX (JavaScript), you must make a new request to the server to get the new information you want.
Now, since all you're specifically after is a way to dynamically update the the Model.ID value in the link, you can do that without AJAX or a form post, but you still must use JavaScript, since all dynamic behavior client-side originates from JavaScript. Basically, you'd need to bind to the change event of the dropdown and alter the href property of your link.
document.getElementById('ID').addEventListener('change', function () {
var selectedId = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;
document.getElementById('AwesomeLink').href = // alter `href` with `selectedId`
});
However, that link is still going to change the whole view if the user clicks it. If you truly want the user to stay on the page, then you'll need to fetch the response of that link using AJAX and then either add it to the page somehow, whether that be directly or via a modal popup (which will required yet even further JavaScript to achieve). Also, it's not clear how the Model.ID value ends up in the URL, i.e. whether it's part of the path (/some/url/{id}/) or as a query string param (/some/url/?id={id}). If it's the former, I'd recommend switching to the latter, as it will make it much easier to build your URL client-side.
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.addEventListener("load", function (response) {
// add response.responseText to the DOM
});
xhr.open("GET", "/some/url/?id=" + selectedId);
xhr.send();
I have a custom menubutton in my tinyMCE editor that uses specific HTML elements elsewhere on the page as the menu items. I use a jQuery selector to get the list of elements and then add one each as a menu item:
c.onRenderMenu.add(function(c,m) {
m.add({ title: 'Pick One:', 'class': 'mceMenuItemTitle' }).setDisabled(1);
$('span[data-menuitem]').each(function() {
var val = $(this).html();
m.add({
title: $(this).attr("data-menuitem"),
onclick: function () { tinyMCE.activeEditor.execCommand('mceInsertContent', false, val) }
});
});
});
My problem is that this only happens once when the button is first clicked and the menu is first rendered. The HTML elements on the current page will change occasionally based on user clicks and some AJAX, so I need this selector code to run each time the menu is rendered to make sure the menu is fully up-to-date. Is that possible?
Failing that, is it possible to dynamically update the control from the end of my AJAX call elsewhere in the page? I'm not sure how to access the menu item and to update it. Something using tinyMCE.activeEditor.controlManager...?
Thanks!
I found a solution to this problem, though I'm not sure it's the best path.
It doesn't look like I can make tinyMCE re-render the menu, so instead I've added some code at the end of my AJAX call: after it has updated the DOM then it manually updates the tinymce drop menu.
The menu object is accessible using:
tinyMCE.activeEditor.controlManager.get('editor_mybutton_menu')
where mybutton is the name of my custom control. My quick-and-dirty solution is to call removeAll() on this menu object (to remove all the current menu items) and then to re-execute my selector code to find the matching elements in the (new) DOM and to add the menu items back based on the new state.
It seems to work just fine, though tweaks & ideas are always welcome!
Let's say in a view I have a DojoX Mobile ListItem that is pulling an HTML view fragment into the DOM via AJAX and then transitioning to that view. Assume this is all working fine.
Now, I go back to the initial view that had that ListItem on it and click some other button that destroys that view node from the DOM. If I now click on that ListItem that previously loaded that view node into the DOM (which has now been removed), it will try to transition to a view that doesn't exist. It doesn't know that it has been removed.
Is there some type of way to tell a ListItem that it needs to fetch the HTML again because what was previously fetched no longer exists? I am not seeing anything about doing this in any documentation anywhere. I don't think a code sample is really necessary here, but I can provide a minimal one if necessary.
I went a different route and left the view exist in the DOM, and simply made a function that clears all sensitive data out of the view.
Okay, in this case, i guess you could hook the onShow function of your ListItem container(or any other onchange event). Create a listener for said handle to evaluate if your item needs reloading. Following is under the assumtion that it is the item.onclick contents showing - and not the label of your item which contains these informations
Or better yet, do all this during initialization so that your ListItem container will be an extended with custom onClick code.
Seems simple but may introduce some quirks, where/when/if you programatically change to this item, however here goes:
function checkItem() {
// figure out if DOM is present and if it should be
if( isLoggedIn() ) {
this.getChildren().forEach(function(listitem) {
if( dojo.query("#ID_TO_LOOK_FOR", listitem.domNode).length == 0 ) {
// this references the listItem, refresh contents.
// Note: this expects the listitem to be stateful, have no testing environment at time being but it should be
listitem.set("url", listitem.url);
}
});
}
}
Preferably, set this in your construct of the container for your ListItems
var listItemParent = new dojox.mobile.RoundRectList({
onShow : checkItem,
...
});
Or create listener
var listItemParent = dijit.byId('itemRegistryId');
// override onClick - calling inheritance chain once done
dojo.connect(listItemParent, "onClick", listItemParent, checkItem);
I have a TabContainer with different tabs (ContentPanes). I am loading each type dynamically when the user selects something from a tree. I would like to be able to run a certain JS function on the newly loaded ContentPane/Tab. So something in this form:
dojo.forEach(
dojo.query("select"),
function(selectTag) {
selectTag.disabled = true;
}
);
However, I only want to process this on the newly loaded ContentPane/Tab... so let's say given a ContentPane/Tab Dojo Object, how do I do a forEach/query on its content only?
Thanks
You can give dojo.query a second argument telling it in which DOM node to start looking. So if you have a ContentPane with id "fooTab", you can do:
dojo.forEach(dojo.query("select", "fooTab"),
function(selectTag) {
....
}
);
Now, technically, "fooTab" is the "dijit ID", but the dijit's/ContentPane's outermost DOM node will also have an id "fooTab". Perhaps not the kosher way, but it works.
