Dojo Popup Menus - Connect a menu item event to multiple 'triggering' elements - dojo

What i have is a single dijit.Menu that contains the dijit.MenuItem objects with labels 1 - 9. It is connected to a sudoku like grid of 81 'nodes' (because there are so many, i dont bother with individual id's, i simply collect them with dojo.query('their-css-class-name')). This is the code i'm using inside of a widget to instantiate the context menu and its menu items.
var contextMenu = new dijit.Menu({targetNodeIds:dojo.query(".sudokuNode"), leftClickToOpen:true});
for(var i = 1; i <= 9; i++) {
contextMenu.addChild(new dijit.MenuItem({
label:i,
onClick: function(evt) {
//??
}
}));
};
contextMenu.startup();
What i'm trying to do is have the node that is clicked, and subsequently opens a popup/context menu, be filled with the value (1-9) selected from the context menu's MenuItems.
My problem is that i dont know how to "know" which of the 81 nodes was the one to fire the oncontextmenu event, and i dont know how to reference that node inside the 'onClick' method declared in the menu item.
Any help demonstrating how to reference the calling node in that context would be appreciated! If this isn't enough information, let me know what else i can do to explain my problem!

evt.target should get you the node that was actually clicked. Depending on the structure, you may need to do some other navigation from there, or use dijit.getEnclosingWidget().
If the MenuItems allow the events to bubble (I'm not sure; haven't used it myself), you could connect to the onClick() method of the Menu, so you've only got the single event listener in play.

CreateJS hit only visible elements

I have two shapes in my canvas using CreateJS. In each shape I included a hit area with the own shape with a mouseover listener. Two shapes are one above the other. When I click into the shape, I received the two callbacks. It's possible to get only the callback to the visible shapes?
enter image description here
Similar to the DOM, the way mouse interaction works is to bubble up the display list, which excludes elements that are not part of the hierarchy chain of the event target.
This means siblings, or elements of other display lists that are underneath will not receive event handlers (which is what you described), and you will not receive mouse events for elements that are not the target of the mouse event.
However, you can wire up your own interaction fairly easily using getObjectsUnderPoint, which tells you what is under the mouse.
stage.on("click", handleClick);
function handleClick(event) {
var list = stage.getObjectsUnderPoint(event.localX, event.localY);
for (var i=0, l=list.length; i<l; i++) {
console.log(list[i]);
}
}
Here is a quick sample: http://jsfiddle.net/y8jhb26x/
Note that you can add the mouse event to any container you want to constrain what objects will trigger this check (I just used stage), but when you call getObjectsUnderPoint, it will return anything under the mouse. If you want to only check items in that container, you can use the contains method to filter out unwanted children:
for (var i=0, l=list.length; i<l; i++) {
if (someContainer.contains(list[i])) {
console.log(list[i]);
}
}
You can also use arguments on getObjectsUnderPoint to filter out items with mouse handlers, or respect the mouseChildren/mouseEnabled property, which is how actual mouse interaction works.

Hope that helps!

Context menu using dojo dgrid

How to create context menu using dojo dgrid?
Actually looking for context menu on dgrid, which should appear after "Right Click"of the mouse over row of the grid.
There is no ready plug-in that can do that, you can see that on the documentation here there is a comparison table. but there is a a listener that can help you create your own plug in.
grid.on(".dgrid-row:contextmenu", function(evt){
evt.preventDefault(); // prevent default browser context menu
var item = grid.row(evt).data;
// item is the store item
});
you can also read the documentation here

Dojo:how to find if the widget has focus in dojo

how do I find out if my custom widget has focus in Dojo?
i have dojo editor i wnat to know if the editor has already focus or not?
you can use the module dijit/focus to find out the focus
FROM DOJO DOCS
Tracking active widgets
At any point in time there is a set of (for lack of a better word)
“active” or “focused” widgets, meaning the currently focused widget
and that widget’s ancestors. “Ancestor” can mean either DOM ancestor
(ex: TextBox –> Form), or a logical parent-child relationship (ex:
TooltipDialog –> DropDownButton).
For example, if focus is on a TextBox inside a TabContainer inside a
TooltipDialog triggered by a DropDownButton, the stack would be
TextBox –> ContentPane –> TabContainer –> TooltipDialog –>
DropDownButton.
The activeStack[] parameter indicates this set of widgets, and an app
can monitor changes to activeStack[] by:
require([ "dijit/focus" ], function(focusUtil){
focusUtil.watch("activeStack", function(name, oldValue, newValue){
console.log("Focused widget + ancestors: ", newValue.join(", "));
});
});
the question in title has a different answer than the one in the descriptions.
there are two ways achieving the question in the title, by using dojo's focusUtil ("dijit/focus"). both ways give you something that you could find the widget using it and the dijit's registry ("dijit/registry").
focusUtil.curNode: gives you the DOM Node that currently has the focus. the function below, you could get the widget reference.
function getWidgetByNode(node){
var result;
while (!result && node){
result = registry.byNode(node);
if (node.parentElement)
node = node.parentElement;
else
node = null;
}
return result;
}
var focusedWidget = getWidgetByNode(focusUtil.curNode)
focusUtil.activeStack: gives you an array of the widgets (parent to child) that has the focus. so the last item in the array is the direct widget which has the focus. index values are widget ids, so you should get the widget by the following code
var focusedWidgetId = focusUtil.activeStack[focusUtil.activeStack.length-1];
var focusedWidget = registry.byId(focusedWidgetId);
now if you want to know if the currently focused widget is some specific one, it depends on what you have in hands from that specific widget:
widget itself: like the return values of above samples. now you have to compare if these are the same thing. you can not compare two widget objects using the == operator. you could compare their ids like this:
myWidget.id == focusedWidget.id
widget's id: this way you just easily get the id of the current node from focusUtil and compare it with the id you have liek this:
myWidgetId == focusedWidgetId
references:
http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.9/dijit/focus.html
http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.9/dijit/registry.html
require([ "dijit/focus" ], function(focusUtil){
var activeElement = focusUtil.curNode; // returns null if there is no focused element
});
check blow url here you can see some examples
http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.8/dijit/focus.html#dijit-focus
a) For dojo 1.6: call dijit.getFocus(). This will return an object containing the currently focused dom node, among other things (selected text, etc.). To get the corresponding widget, simply do:
var activeElement = dijit.getEnclosingWidget(dijit.getFocus().node);
This is the full reference for dijit.getFocus(), from the source code:
// summary:
// Called as getFocus(), this returns an Object showing the current focus
// and selected text.
//
// Called as getFocus(widget), where widget is a (widget representing) a button
// that was just pressed, it returns where focus was before that button
// was pressed. (Pressing the button may have either shifted focus to the button,
// or removed focus altogether.) In this case the selected text is not returned,
// since it can't be accurately determined.
//
// menu: dijit._Widget or {domNode: DomNode} structure
// The button that was just pressed. If focus has disappeared or moved
// to this button, returns the previous focus. In this case the bookmark
// information is already lost, and null is returned.
//
// openedForWindow:
// iframe in which menu was opened
//
// returns:
// A handle to restore focus/selection, to be passed to `dijit.focus`.
b) For dojo 1.7 and up, use dijit/focus:
require([ "dijit/focus" ], function(focusUtil) {
var activeElement = focusUtil.curNode; // returns null if there is no focused element
});

Dynamic menu button items in TinyMCE

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!

DojoX Mobile ListItem load HTML via AJAX and then remove from DOM

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);
