I have a web app for commercial property management that needs spreadsheet-like functionality for doing budgets. I don't want to use Google Sheets because my users won't necessarily have a Google account.
So is there anything out there that I could use?
I looked and could only find SocialCalc which wasn't quite good enough for me.
Options:
ExtJS Grid Component (Open Source[GPL3] & Commercial License)
Infragistics Grid Component (Commercial License)
TreeGrid (Commercial License, Free Version has maximum of 33 rows)
If you don't mind implementing the logic yourself, the ExtJS grid component is a JavaScript grid component with lots of powerful features, and it is available in both open-source and commercial versions.
I have used dhtmlXGrid successfully. There is an open source version that you can use freely to get your application developed. Assuming everything works out, for $200 you can purchase a license for it and distribute it with your application.
Very easy to use; create an HTML table structure with your data in it and then bind dhtmlXGrid to the table - it automatically turns the table cells into editable fields.
Check it out here: http://www.dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid
Again, you will need to implement the spreadsheet logic yourself but dhtmlXGrid makes it straightforward to translate that into an editable column/row display.
There is an excellent grid from Farpoint
They have web and win forms grids available and are not too bad price wise
Infragistics has spreadsheet-type functionality in their data grid product
You may want to give a try to treegrid # www.coqsoft.com .
try telerik radgrid. It is a pretty decent .net user control which can easily render an XML datasource for user editting. Its also fully Ajax enabled to avoid delays when entering volumes of data.

until now I have used Bootstrap for building my sites.
I heard about Microsoft FAST web-controls, and I want to try it but there is no layout grid.
How am I supposed to do layouting in MS FAST?
I am no web designer, this is why I use bootstrap templates.
I also use Aurelia as my framework of choice to build web apps.
The answer to how are you supposed to do layouting is "there is no how". It's up to you.
What FAST offers is some building blocks (#microsoft/fast-foundation) to allow you to implement your custom design system. So you could go on using bootstrap or turn to material design or another choice.
Here's the link to the info supporting this answer: https://www.fast.design/docs/introduction/#how-can-fast-help-me

I design a UWP application.
In this one I am asked to make many reports that they are invoices or print delivery for example.
These can therefore have different models and these can be fixed or dynamic.
I explore different ideas:
- In the old application in WPF, we used an old version of DevExpress but it's really not easy to make reports simply and scalable ways easily
- There are indeed things like Telerik, ComponentOne but it's really expensive for what it does and I can not find an open source component.
- I looked to be able to make the models in XAML and be able to print them which would be ideal, however it works well with text but with tables (listbox, listview, datagrid ...) I can not manage the pagination.
Do you have any ideas? I do not know Power Bi Embedded well but maybe be an idea? I would like something scalable and simple to implement and without having to pay exhobirating sums for this kind of component.
use all in one DataGrid for enterprise LOB apps on uwp platform, it offers you editing, filtering and sorting etc as well : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/communitytoolkit/controls/datagrid
use Print helper to print stuff from your uwp app. : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/communitytoolkit/helpers/printhelper
Also please do look through other controls and helpers within windows community toolkit you might find some other stuff as well to help and simplify your uwp app developing experience :)
I've not programmed this before and I'm not finding any examples in searching of how to implement this Dojo.
I need a field to type ahead as a drop down field and will fill in the field as they type so when they type enough characters for their needs, they can hit enter and it grabs the correct value. My view is over the 64K limit. The field I've programmed, when previewing in the browser, doesn't show the field, only values in a huge long list below it. Can someone shed some light on how to program this field? Thanks for your help.
Is there an reference book that give examples of all the various elements of xPages that go into more detail than, for example, loading a drop down with six values.
Is this the Dojo Filtering Select Extension Library control? If so, XPages Extension Library book covers those components. Mastering XPages 2nd Edition covers the core controls and generic XPages runtime topics.
Without code or more details it's hard to tell what the cause is. It sounds like the relevant Dojo classes aren't loaded. That could be because the theme used is Bootstrap, which is jQuery-based rather than Dojo-based. Alternatively, if you're not using the Extension Library control, the most likely cause is declaring the Dojo Filtering Select but not including the relevant Dojo modules. That's again one of the reasons to use the Extension Library components instead of manually coding them. Alternatively you may be using a modern IE browser against an older Domino version - IE doesn't support older versions of Dojo, requiring compatible browser / server versions.
We write a lot of intrasite modules and are noticing that they really deviate now in SF 4+ from the content-based ones. So, on that note, I have some questions:
How do you get the EXACT look and feel of the standard modules for the edit/create form? For example, how do you eliminate the menu above, center the form, etc, as in, say, the Events module?
How do you add an actions menu dropdown to a radgrid, same as you'd see in the grids for standard modules?
How do you incorporate Sitefinity fields into the usercontrols? For example sf:ImageField throws script errors when added to a control? Also, is there documentation on each of these fields and how to configure?
---finally---
If we really want that standardization, do we have to go with another module type?
4.Is there a module type that will allow us to access non-sitefinity data (ie separaate db
but also provide us with exactly the same functionality and UI experience as the content-
based modules?
intra site modules are simply custom user controls (ascx) placed into backend pages to add your custom functionality to the backend. To copy the look and feel of the rest of the site, I literally copy and paste the HTML into the control.
I did a webinar on this a while back, including code to recreate the backend editor. It appears to still be valid, and is available here: http://www.sitefinity.com/blogs/joshmorales/posts/josh-morales-blog/2011/06/30/sitefinity_intra-site_module_webinar_notes
the centered view is a bit different, and I don't have that html, but you could potentially do the same (copy it from another native page). I don't always get it 100% accurate (my controls are usually laid out different from what Sitefinity does) but I get close enough so that it doesn't break the user experience.
The actions menu could be recreated with javascript, but if you are looking for NATIVE integration that does all this for you, indeed you would be looking at inheriting or much better yet: simply using the module builder, which lets you build custom types that automatically install themselves into Sitefinity as if they were regular modules.
Fields are definitely designed to run inside the context of native sitefinity module definitions (the classes that make up the UI using the Sitefinity context). This doesn't mean you can't include Sitefinity content in your modules; it simply means if you do you'll have to implement the integration yourself using the API.
On your last question, the only way to use external data but still keep the "Sitefinity Content" UI is to inherit from Content, then create a custom provider that reads from your database and translates it into the Sitefinity content type. It is certainly possible, but is quite a big project.
Unless you are in full need of this tight integration, I recommend simply going intra-site, linking to Sitefinity content types,taxonomy, etc through the API and manage it separately.
I hope this was helpful!
I want to build a custom CMS where users a Rich text editor is the main way to create content rather than wiki markup.
Besides stability and performance, I want the RTE to be easily extensible. The latter point is very important because I intend to extend it to my needs.
For example I want the users to be able to embed OpenSocial gadgets and whiteboard (based on canvas) into the page. I also the want the users to embed media source like (youtube, slideshare etc).
My preliminary investigation shows that Dojo's (dijit) RTE and TinyMCE are pretty good. How would you compare the two in terms of stability, performance and extensibility. Any other RTE's I should be looking at that fit the bill?
PS: I am using dojo as the main js library.
Hava a look here (blog post with some very helpfull informations).
My own opinion is that there are two free available rtes that are close to each other in comparison. Those are CKEditor and Tinymce. My experience lies on the tinymce side and i can say that the extensibility using own plugins is great with it. Some independent tests have shown that tinymce seems to be more adavanced than CKEditor, others claim CKEditor is better. You will have to decide on your own (development is advancing further each day and new functionality has been developed since those tests).
