I am developing eclipse plugin and I want to create jface Text boxes in loop dynamically.
is there a way of doing it in eclipse plugin developement?
do I need to redraw or something after I add Text boxes dynamically
You might need to call Composite.layout() on the parent composite of the freshly created control, depending on how you write the code.
you may create all your controls but use a conditional statement to hide/show and update information in the controls

We're developing a custom control (to make our lives easier), which included a customs (external) grid control and some default buttons and text. The grid control has the option to add columns by clicking the small arrow on the top right of the grid in designer, like shown in the picture.
We want to keep this option when putting our new custom control on a (win)form. Is there any way we can achieve this?
I've already looked into the 'verbs' and I can add my own custom verbs to the new control, but I'm not sure the arrow is a verb (as it does not show the option on the bottom of the properties). I also haven't been able to find how to use the verbs from the grid control.
Thank you very much!
I've found the solution to my problem.
I thought the way to add columns was a custom control when in reality, it was a default CollectionEditor. This, in combination with Smart Tag, solved my problem.
I want to add control to user GUI that would represent excel like table but I cannot find additional control that would do that. Control like that would be used for easier data entry.
I believe that VBA has control like that and I am missing something obvious.
Does anyone know where to activate control like that?
If you have VB6 installed then, this should work:
Microsoft Flex Grid Control
However, if you do not have (vb6) then, another option is to create one yourself by dynamically adding controls to your UserForm (such as a textbox) and then tracking those object. It would take some work, but it would be an option.
I'm trying to do a scheduler for a lesson schedule. Which control should I use and how to do?
Here you find an image of what I'm trying.
You should create a UserControl based on the "DatePicker" control.
And then redefine the control template, using a UniformGrid.
There is no simple and quick way to do that yourself. Either you recreate a custom control based on a DatePicker, or you try to find a library of controls already doing what you are trying to.
I believe a few controls already exists to do that, but I don't have names to throw in.
I have a picture library and added few fields to it. When i click add new item from picture library, the EditForm.aspx appears after uploading the picture. This form contains many fields of which I want to hide Title, Date Picture Taken, Description, and Keyword. In short the EditForm should contain only Name, Preview and the columns that I have added. Is it possible to hide the other columns? I want to perform this out of the box.
Several possibilities.
You can use SharePoint Designer to manipulate the NewForm, EditForm and DisplayForm. Edit the existing form, use CSS to set the out of the box HTML form to hidden, then add a new custom form to the page and remove the columns you don't want to see.
If you don't want to use these columns at all, just delete them in the Library settings
If you don't want to delete the columns, click the parent content type in the Library settings, then edit each column and set it to "hidden"

I found this solution to be really simple and effective. Very well documented and descriptive.
I am trying to remove the hover effect that brings up the checkbox next to the row item in SharePoint 2010 list item rows. Is there any settings that can make this happen? I would like to keep away from having to tinker with the CSS and javascripts. Please see illustration below. Thank you.
There are no settings for that sort of thing - the selection check box is a default behavior. You are going to have to modify the CSS, for that.
Use SharePoint Designer (Available Here]1) to help determine whitch CSS elements control that behavior, and make a custom style sheet to override it.
You can accomplish this by going to the Modify View option of your list and unchecking the Allow Individual Item Checkboxes under Tabular View options.
Note: If you are using a Web Part to view it you might have to set the view again for the changes to reflect.
