Hopefully this is an easy one...
I need to create an "Alert Me" button on my custom SharePoint masterpage which when clicked, will direct the user to a pre-populated "New Alert" page for that particular site/list. The OOTB blog site template already features this exact same button at the bottom of the default.aspx page, it's markup is as follows:
http://server/currentsite/_layouts/SubNew.aspx?List={00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}&Source=http://server/currentsite/default.aspx
Does anyone know if there is an OOTB control or web part that I can just drop into my page layout to reproduce this?
Obviously I could create the button dynamically in the codebehind of my page layout if need be, but I'd be surprised if there isn't a pre-written control already.
Thanks in advance...
For those insterested, I ended up rolling my own usercontrol for this. Code is as follows:
HTML
<asp:HyperLink ID="AlertHyperLink" runat="server"><img alt="Alert me" src="/_layouts/images/menualert.gif" title="Alert me to any changes that get made to this site." /></asp:HyperLink>
C#
protected void Page_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// If the current page is not associated with a list, then hide the list-sensitive tools.
if (SPContext.Current.List != null)
{
this.AlertHyperLink.NavigateUrl = string.Format(
"{0}/_layouts/SubNew.aspx?List={{{1}}}&Source={2}",
SPContext.Current.Web.Url,
SPContext.Current.List.ID.ToString(),
this.Server.UrlEncode(this.Page.Request.Url.ToString()));
}
else
{
this.AlertHyperLink.Visible = false;
}
}

I'm trying to declare a button as default in UWP app but receive an error:
The property 'IsDefault' was not found in type 'Button'
How can I make a default button in UWP app?
I down know what IsDefault is in WPF but to get if a button is pressed in UWP you can use CoreWindow.GetForCurrentThread().KeyDown. Create a Method that will be called from when the button is pressed or VirtualKey.Enter is clicked.
public MainPage()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
CoreWindow.GetForCurrentThread().KeyDown += MainPage_KeyDown; ;
}
private void MainPage_KeyDown(CoreWindow sender, KeyEventArgs args)
{
switch (args.VirtualKey)
{
case Windows.System.VirtualKey.Enter:
// handler for enter key
break;
default:
break;
}
}
You can use key down event which you can place on any textbox for example if you are making a login page then probably there will be 2 textboxes for username and password then just add key down event handler to textbox as it will be the last mandatory field like this:
<PasswordBox KeyDown="PasswordKeyDown"/>
then you can handle this event as:
using System.Windows.Input;
private void PasswordKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Key == Key.Enter)
Login();
}
Hope it will help you :)
There is not easy or clean way to solve your problem because IsDefault is not available for uwp apps.
if you are using MVVM or you want to reuse your code I recommend you to use Behaviors and follow the examples that the other guys posted.
I need a Button which user can invoke by pressing the ENTER key.
In an UWP app, by default a Button can be invoked by pressing the Enter key. So I guess what you want is setting the focus on this Button when there are some other UIElements in your page.
You can refer to Keyboard navigation among UI elements,
By default, the tab order of controls is the same as the order in which they are added to a design surface, listed in XAML, or programmatically added to a container.
To focus on the Button which is not the first element, you can just give the TabIndex="1" property to your Button, this property can make your Button get focus whenever the page is loaded, but if you change the focus on other controls in this page, you will need to reselect this button by mouse clicking, touching or TAB key.
I navigate forward using Frame.Navigate but when I press the hardware back key on my phone I end up on the start screen and not the page I just visited.
What might be wrong?
The reason behind your problem is, you are creating a Blank Page. If you're creating a blank page, you should define what the app has to do when the back button is fired.
Better, consider adding "Basic page". It will have backstack by nature. If you are navigating from the MainPage to the Basic Page and when you pressed back button at the Basic Page it will back to the MainPage.
I hope this could solve your problem!
If you want to use Blank Page in your application, you need to use like this on your page where you wanna override back button:
add this in your header:
using Windows.Phone.UI.Input;
and then in your constructor:
HardwareButtons.BackPressed += HardwareButtons_BackPressed;
add this anywhere in your code:
void HardwareButtons_BackPressed(object sender, BackPressedEventArgs e)
{
HardwareButtons.BackPressed -= HardwareButtons_BackPressed;
this.Frame.Navigate(typeof(MainPage));
e.Handled = true;
}
You've probably forgotten to use the NavigationHelper included in the template of the universal app.
You should use it like this on every page:
NavigationHelper _navigationHelper;
public LoginPage()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
_navigationHelper = new NavigationHelper(this);
}
I have a custom form and I would like to add some functionality in my submit button. When I click on Submit button, I would like to close the popup and refresh the parent page.
I used this code in my button but there is a problem. It does not validate the controls and it makes a postback and even does not save any data.
OnClientClick="javascript:window.frameElement.commitPopup();"
Can you help me with some working code?
Thank you.
You need to set OnClientClick property after the code you want to be executed.
protected void btnAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Your Code here(some functionality)
Context.Response.Write(#"<script type='text/javascript'>window.frameElement.commitPopup(); return false</script>");
Context.Response.Flush();
Context.Response.End();
}
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.
The medical company I work for has a EMR system setup to keep digital copies of patient files so they are searchable as well as quick to access. A new request has come through to be able to save e-mail to the EMR system, however it does not display .msg files very nicely. It does display files nicely as .htm, so was hoping i could figure out a way to save email messages to a specific folder in a .htm format with the user just hitting a single button.
Should i be looking at making an add-in using vs 2010 to do this simple task? Or would there be a better way to do this?
I've explored making an Add-In breifly over the past few days using command bars but have hit numerous problems with adding the menu item to mail items, as well as losing event handlers or having them fire quite a few times, so i'm wondering if i'm barking up the wrong tree.
Edit: Looking at ribbon bar customization as well, may have to upgrade some users that are still using 2003, but seems like it might be the better option than command bars going forward.
Ribbon bar was the best path i found, however i had trouble finding a great how-to for the start-to-finish project, so i'll make a small write up here.
To add a button to the ribbon for only existing mail messages including a image for the button.
Using VS 2010
New project, Office, select "Outlook 2007 add in", enter a name for your project.
To your newly created project, Add a new item "Ribbon (XML)" name it however you want, i'll call it CustomRibbon
open your newly created CustomRibbon.xml file and change the tab node to have the following
<tab idMso="TabReadMessage">
<group insertBeforeMso="GroupActions" id="CustomGroup" label="GroupNameThatShowsInOutlook">
<button id="btnCustomButton"
label = "Text For The Custom Button"
supertip="tip for the button hover"
onAction ="ButtonClicked"
size="large"
getImage="GetCustomButtonImage" />
</group>
</tab>
This then has 2 callback functions to the CustomRibbon.cs file, one called GetCustomButtonImage, the other ButtonClicked.
open CustomRibbon.cs to fill this in, in the Ribbon Callbacks region add the following
public void ButtonClicked(Office.IRibbonControl Control)
{
//Do work here
}
also add the following in the same section
public stdole.IPictureDisp GetCustomButtonImage(Office.IRibbonControl control)
{
System.Drawing.Image myImage;
myImage = OutlookAddIn.Properties.Resources.ImageName;
return AxHostConverter.ImageToPictureDisp(myImage);
}
this will then show there is a class missing, we'll get to that shortly, but first we are going to add in the last part we need in CustomRibbon.cs. In the IRibbonExtensibility Members region, in GetCustomUI change the existing code
public string GetCustomUI(string ribbonID)
{
if (ribbonID == "Microsoft.Outlook.Mail.Read")
{
return GetResourceText("OutlookAddIn.CustomRibbon.xml");
}
else
{
return "";
}
}
Add a new class to your project call it AxHostConverter, add add this to the top
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;
Then change the class to have the following code
class AxHostConverter : AxHost
{
private AxHostConverter() : base("") { }
static public stdole.IPictureDisp ImageToPictureDisp(Image image)
{
return (stdole.IPictureDisp)GetIPictureDispFromPicture(image);
}
static public Image PictureDispToImage(stdole.IPictureDisp pictureDisp)
{
return GetPictureFromIPicture(pictureDisp);
}
}
Add your image for your button to the project, and change the GetCustomButtonImage function to use that resource. I used a PNG and had good luck with transparencies displaying well.
And finally, all that should be left is to add the following to ThisAddIn.cs
protected override Microsoft.Office.Core.IRibbonExtensibility CreateRibbonExtensibilityObject()
{
return new CustomRibbon();
}
Add whatever code you are wanting to ButtonClicked and you are set.
Deploy using Clickonce and installation is fairly straightforward.
