I have made a toolbar that has a Search Textbox, using the visual studio built in search for the toolwindowpane: https://learn.microsoft.com/pt-pt/previous-versions/visualstudio/visual-studio-2015/extensibility/adding-search-to-a-tool-window?view=vs-2015&redirectedfrom=MSDN
That is working just fine right now after overriding the methods, however i also added a toolbar to the toolwindow from the vsct file, however it is positioning the search and the toolbar in the same row:
Is there any way to position the search bar underneath the toolbar just like the solution explorer in visual studio? If not, is there a way to decrease the toolbar size so it uses the minimum space so it doesn't look weird like in the picture?
Thank you.
EDIT: Constructor of the class that inherits ToolWindowPane:
public CpcObjectsWindow() : base(null)
{
this.Caption = "CPC Objects";
// This is the user control hosted by the tool window; Note that, even if this class implements IDisposable,
// we are not calling Dispose on this object. This is because ToolWindowPane calls Dispose on
// the object returned by the Content property.
this.Content = new CpcObjectsWindowControl();
this.ToolBar = new CommandID(new Guid(CpcExtensionPackage.guidCpcExtensionPackageCmdSet), CpcExtensionPackage.cpcObjectsToolbar);
this.ToolBarLocation = (int)VSTWT_LOCATION.VSTWT_TOP;
}
I tried to add search to a tool window , a search control appears at the top of the tool window.
I tried to search form the ToolWindowPane Class but there is not any property can set the size of search bar. I think that you can submit a feature request on DC.
I have some buttons in my xaml which I want to bind the style dynamically based on some value. This all works great, but for maybe a second or two the buttons are not styled properly as my app is still loading. My application will load, but I have a list view that is waiting to receive some data from a web service. It seems as though the buttons won't be bound until the list view is bound.
Is there a way to set a "default" style on my buttons but still have my buttons bind at runtime without having to set all the properties for each button? Or why are my buttons taking so long to bind? Can I prioritize them?
Here is my button...
<Button x:Name="ButtonAll" Click="ButtonAll_Click" Style="{Binding State,Converter={StaticResource ButtonStateConverter},ConverterParameter=All}" Margin="0,0,50,0">All</Button>
Here is my converter code...
SampleState state = (SampleState)value;
SampleState param = new SampleState() { Code = (string)parameter, Name = (string) parameter };
if (state == param)
return App.Current.Resources["TextPrimaryButtonStyle"];
else
return App.Current.Resources["TextSecondaryButtonStyle"];
I'm approaching to Metro App development in this days, so please be gentle.
I have created a User Control - some buttons and textblocks- that is loaded in every page of my app. I want the texblocks to change dynamically depending on the page selected: for example one of the texblocks of the user control is the page title. How can I accomplish this?
you can go for a simple code by finding the children of the usercontrol you are adding.
xaml code
xmlns:newPage="using:TestApp"
add the page like this in say mainpage.xaml:
<newPage:TestPage x:Name="pageNew"></newPage:TestPage>
then from code behind of the mainpage ie mainpage.xaml.cs
public mainpage(){
InitializeComponent();
var newPageContent = pageNew.Content; //here content will give u the immidiete children of usercntrl
}
Now you can type cast like
(Grid)newPageContent = pageNew.content;
var TextBlockFirst = newPageContent.children[0];
and so on :) please check if the suggestion is helpful :)
I use Caliburn.Micro for my Silverlight application.
I have a view/viewmodel to create a new Item.
On the view there is one combobox.
The first time I open the view , fill in all fields, the Item is saved correctly.
The second time I open the view, fill in all fields, all teh values of them are changed in the object, except the value of the combobox, this property of Item stays 0 (it's an integer).
Any ideas why this is? I think the Caliburn framework is doing something weird.
thanks,
Filip
The code to open the view was:
EventAggreg.EventAgg.Publish(new ObjectDetailEvent() { ObjectDetail = new ObjectDTO() });
I replaced it with:
EventAggreg.EventAgg.Publish(new ObjectDetailEvent() { ObjectDetail = new ObjectDTO { LandId = 0 } });
LandId is the property bound to the combobox.
So when this is filled in by default, teh notify works perfect every time.
This code used to work in WSS 3.0 / MOSS 2007 in FeatureReceiver.FeatureActivated:
using (SPLimitedWebPartManager limitedWebPartManager = Site.GetLimitedWebPartManager("default.aspx", PersonalizationScope.Shared)) {
ListViewWebPart listViewWebPart = new ListViewWebPart {
Title = title,
ListName = list.ID.ToString("B").ToUpper(),
ViewGuid = view.ID.ToString("B").ToUpper()
};
limitedWebPartManager.AddWebPart(listViewWebPart, zone, position);
}
I'm trying to convert to SharePoint 2010 and it now fails with:
System.ArgumentException: The specified view is invalid.
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPViewCollection.get_Item(Guid guid)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.ListViewWebPart.EnsureListAndView(Boolean requireFullBlownViewSchema)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.ListViewWebPart.get_AppropriateBaseViewId()
at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.SPWebPartManager.AddWebPartInternal(SPSupersetWebPart superset, Boolean throwIfLocked)

at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.SPLimitedWebPartManager.AddWebPart(WebPart webPart, String zoneId, Int32 zoneIndex)
Interestingly enough when I run it from a unit test it works, it only fails in FeatureActivated. When I debug with Reflector it is failing on this line:
this.view = this.list.LightweightViews[new Guid(this.ViewGuid)];
list.LightweightViews only returns one view, the default view, even though list.Views returns all of them. When running from a unit test LightweightViews returns all of my views. I have no idea what LightweightViews is supposed to mean and I'm running out of ideas. Anyone else got any?
To make it work, just do the following:
Do not set the viewguid property of the listviewwebpart object (leave it blank)
call the AddWebpart method
It will generate a new viewguid associated to a new hidden view.
Then if you want to customize this view, retrieve it from the list and customize it.
Hopefully no one ever has this problem or even sees this question. In the unfortunate event you get the same problem I have no specific solution. It eventually just started to work for me (8 hour later). I can tell you what I did right before it started working and hopefully it will help:
I went in through the UI and set the view that I was trying to set the list view web part to as the default view. I believe that's what fixed it and I have no idea why.
Some other notes on the problem:
I create all my lists and views through code
RunWithElevatedPrivileges did not help
Instantiating a new SPWeb in feature activated did not help
Setting ListViewXml = view.HtmlSchemaXml instead of setting ViewGuid made it not crash but the view was wrong when this code executed in FeatureActivated but correct when executed in a unit test.
Best I can do, sorry. If you're having this problem, good luck!
After reading this and this articles I found even more easiest solution.
When you add listviewwebpart to an any page, webpart automatically creates new hidden view in list, which is associated with this webpart (you can check it in SharePoint Manager).
When you switch view for listviewwebpart throw UI, it simply get copy of fields from selected view and push it in his hidden view.
All you need is get this view by ID, add\remove necessary fields and update view. Something like this:
var wpMngr = web.GetLimitedWebPartManager(workspaceWeb.Url + "/default.aspx", PersonalizationScope.Shared);
var attendeeListViewWebPart =
(ListViewWebPart)wpMngr.WebParts.Cast<WebPart>().FirstOrDefault(w => w.Title == Lists.AttendeesList);
var list = workspaceWeb.Lists[Lists.AttendeesList];
var view = list.Views.Cast<SPView>().FirstOrDefault(w => w.ID.ToString("B").Equals(attendeeListViewWebPart.ViewGuid, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase));
view.ViewFields.DeleteAll();
view.ViewFields.Add...
view.Update();
According to articles, you cann't update ViewGuid property for listviewwebpart.
I have been fighting with this today also.
For some odd reasons the code that you provided works for some cases but not in others.
I haven't had time to investigate more about that but what I can say is that if you are willing to use the XsltListViewWebPart (which is the replacement of the ListViewWebPart in SharePoint 2010), you will get rid of this annoying "bug".
I have just tested in myself.
Hope it helps!
I was getting this same error with an XsltListViewWebPart:
Exception: System.ArgumentException: The specified view is invalid.
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPViewCollection.get_Item(Guid guid)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPList.GetView(Guid viewGuid)

at Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.SPLimitedWebPartManager.AddWebPart(WebPart webPart, String zoneId, Int32 zoneIndex)
Since SPList.GetView is a public method, I tried it in Powershell using the Guid from my new view. It worked fine.
I figured out that the problem was the context. I had been creating my view right before the ViewGuid assignment. When I moved the creation of my view outside of the SPLimitedWebPartManager, the code ran without any errors:
SPView view = CreateHiddenView(list);
using (SPLimitedWebPartManager manager = file.GetLimitedWebPartManager(PersonalizationScope.Shared))
{
try
{
XsltListViewWebPart webpart = new XsltListViewWebPart();
webpart.ListName = list.ID.ToString("B").ToUpperInvariant();
webpart.TitleUrl = list.DefaultViewUrl;
webpart.WebId = list.ParentWeb.ID;
webpart.Title = list.Title;
webpart.ViewGuid = view.ID.ToString("B").ToUpperInvariant();
manager.AddWebPart(webpart, "Right", 1);
}
finally
{
manager.Web.Dispose();
}
}
