Suggestion for a drag and drop schedule calendar from a database?

Anyone suggest / help with a drag and drop task scheduler/calendar on an hour by hour day by day basis, from a database?
thanks

What parts are you finding inelegantI was a little worried about the possibility of the image lagging behind the mouse pointer. If the application was repainting every time it got a mouse motion event, it might not keep up. And, of course, there is a level-of-effort consideration for the implementation.
Custom cursors?This was actually my first thought. It would certainly be the easiest solution. I've done custom cursors before, but I was a bit worried about the overhead... Not that I have any specific reason, it's just that the application would be changing cursors quite often and I'm used to thinking of cursors as a special system resource that an application shouldn't mess with... Of course, what was true 20 years ago, is not necessarily true today.
Does anyone know if this would be an issue? Can I use custom cursors reasonably freely without serious impact on the graphics subsystem?

  • HT1535 Does iTunes 11 allow for the "dragging" and "dropping" of music from a library onto a manually managed device?

    It appears that iTunes 11 does not allow for the "dragging" and "dropping" of music from a library onto a manually managed device.. is that true? I am trying to drag a playlist onto my iPhone. I've done it many times before on previous versions of iTunes but now that the menu is up in the heading, I can't drag the playlist onto the icon for my iPhone.

    No.
    Sync you are not syncing, the ONLY way to get items onto a manually managed device is to drag and drop.
    However, I feel a much simpler way is to create a playlist and add/remove songs from this playlist and autosync this playlist (or multiple playlists). I use about 6 or 7 playlists
    You can still also drag & drop songs while autosycning.

  • What is the correct way to add styling to drag-and-drop created calendars?

    I have a working instance of a rich client calendar. I generated the view with the required fields (start, stop, provider, ...), put it into the App Module, and dragged it onto a JSF page to create a calendar.
    Next I created an activityScope object in a class called CalendarBean (no inheritance)
    Class CalendarBean()
    private HashMap<Set<String>, InstanceStyles> activityColorMap;
    +..+
    +public CalendarBean() {+
    super();
    activityColorMap = new HashMap<Set<String>, InstanceStyles>();
    HashSet setEd = new HashSet<String>();
    HashSet setLen = new HashSet<String>();
    setEd.add("Work");
    setLen.add("Home");
    activityColorMap.put(setEd, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.ORANGE));
    activityColorMap.put(setLen, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.RED));
    +}+
    +}+
    Next, I linked this up as a backing bean and associated the ActivityStyles of CalendarBean to it:
    +#{backingBeanScope.calendarBean.activityColorMap}+
    I populated some records in the database with properties "Work" and "Ed', but they show default blue.
    As I understand it, I need to do something with the getTags() method of the underlying CalendarActivity class, but I'm not quite sure how to do that.
    Took a stab at creating a class, CalendarActivityBean, that extended CalendarActivity, and pointed all the CalendarActivity references I had to the new class, but it didn't seem to fire (in debug), and I got into trouble, when inserting records, with
    public void calendarActivityListener(CalendarActivityEvent calendarActivityEvent) {
    currActivity = (CalendarActivityBean) calendarActivityEvent.getCalendarActivity();
    being an illegal cast
    What is the correct way to add provider-based styling to drag-and-drop create calendars?
    Ed Schechter

    A colleague of mine was kind enough to solve this:
    The calendar has ActivityStyles property = #{calendarBean.activityStyles}
    CalendarBean looks something like this:
    package com.hub.appointmentscheduler.ui.schedule;
    import java.util.HashMap;
    import java.util.HashSet;
    import java.util.Set;
    import oracle.adf.view.rich.util.CalendarActivityRamp;
    import oracle.adf.view.rich.util.InstanceStyles;
    +public class CalendarBean {+
    private HashMap activityStyles;
    private String dummy;
    +public CalendarBean() {+
    +// Define colors+
    activityStyles = new HashMap<Set<String>, InstanceStyles>();
    HashSet setPending = new HashSet<String>();
    HashSet setArrived = new HashSet<String>();
    HashSet setApproved = new HashSet<String>();
    HashSet setCompleted = new HashSet<String>();
    setApproved.add("APPROVED");
    setPending.add("PENDING");
    setArrived.add("ARRIVED");
    setCompleted.add("COMPLETED");
    activityStyles.put(setApproved, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.GREEN));
    activityStyles.put(setPending, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.ORANGE));
    activityStyles.put(setArrived, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.PLUM));
    activityStyles.put(setCompleted, CalendarActivityRamp.getActivityRamp(CalendarActivityRamp.RampKey.LAVENDAR));
    +}+
    +public void setactivityStyles(HashMap activityStyles) {+
    this.activityStyles = activityStyles;
    +}+
    +public HashMap getactivityStyles() {+
    return activityStyles;
    +}+
    +}+
    Now, go into the Bindings tab on the calendar page, double click the calendar binding, and specify the column you've defined as the calendar's Provider in the Tags dropdown.
    Should show colors.

    Hello Chris,
    Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
    Thanks for answering so fast.

  • I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer.

    I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer into my iTunes. It lets me play the song from the folder in my computer and then it opens with iTunes and plays the song all the way through, but then if I try to play it again, it says the file cannot be located. So then I go to locate and go to the folder and all that and select it and nothing happens.

    Not sure whether for instance you initially had a Yahoo optimised version of Firefox, and have now overwritten it with an official Mozilla version. Although the Mozilla version should NOT add unwanted features, but the Yahoo version may well do.
    If you merely need to find the Yahoo emails page quickly just add it as a bookmark or as a bookmark on the Bookmarks toolbar and make sure that is visible.
    Clicking the star icon on the location bar whilst looking at your emails will bookmark the page.

  • Drag and Drop of Page from Content Finder into Page Component

    Hi,
    Does anybody has a sample code for Page component which accepts the page when dragging and dropping from the content finder? Basically I am trying to create a web page with page component on it and customized the content finder to display all the pages that I needed on a separate tab, I am trying to drag and drop the pages from the content finder to the page component of the web page that I created, but it is not working for me. If someone has any sample working code please share it.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    There's no direct support for this. But you could implement
    drag and drop the way you normally would in javascript. Except
    here, on mouseUp over a div encapsulating the object or embed tag
    (the flash object), you'll need to make a call into actionscript
    from javascript indicating that a drag and drop happened.
    For more info, see
    how
    to drag and drop using javascript and
    actionscript
    and javascript communication

  • Is it possible to drag and drop an arrangement from another software program such as band-In -Box to garage band

    is it possible to drag and drop an arrangement from another music program like Band-ina-box into garage band

    GarageBand for iPad is a pretty closed system.
    The Song File
    You can only open GarageBand for iPad Song Files with the extension .band. Please note that those files look the same as the ones form GarageBand 11. However, they are only upwards compatible but not downward compatible. GarageBand iOS -> GarageBand OSX -> Logic.
    Audio Files
    You can import a wide variety of Audio Files into GarageBand (via iTunes File Sharing) to use in your Song. But any material from another app has to be mixed down first. Either as a single stereo mix or you mix each track separately and then import those separate files ("stems") into GarageBand. This is a typical procedure to move material to a different app,for example for mixing.
    Hope that helps

  • Drag and dropping an address from address book to the desktop, the address file does not go where my mouse is positioned.

    If I drag and drop an address from address book to the desktop, the address file does not go where my mouse is positioned. It winds up somewhere in the middle of my screen. Any way to have the address file land and stay where my mouse pointer is?

    You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
    You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.
    Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

    It might just be Microsoft not using standards? I remember having a similar situation - I had an application that could have a zip entry fron 7-zip drag-and-dropped into it (came over as plain text, or maybe an InputStream, can't remember), but when you drill into a zip file with Windows (Vista at least), and try to drag-and-drop a zip entry from Windows Explorer, Java shows no dataflavors available. I just assumed Microsoft wasn't exporting the zip entry in any standard format (such as plain text).
    Sorry, I know that wasn't very helpful, just thought I'd share a similar experience. :)

  • Drag and Drop with Calendar functionality in BSP/WebDynpro

    Hi,
    I am not sure where to ask this information. First trying in this forum.
    We are looking for a  scheduling software-kind of functionality within SAP. We get service calls from customers if there is any leak on the roof. We would like to know if we can provide drag and drop functionality in BSP/Webdynpro. We are envisioning left pane with Leak Notification # (could be 25-30 Notification calls per office) and calendar(month or week) functionality on right pane of the page. The service manager can drag and drop Leak Notification # into Calendar on the right pane OR move around within Calendar. When they do that, we want to update certain custom table fields in SAP. Do you think this can be done in BSP or Webdynpro for ABAP easily. If so, can you point us in the right direction ?
    Regards,
    Niranjan

    Thanks once again for the reply Thomas.
    Yes, we have used XHTMLB and PHTMLB extensively.
    One last question if you don't mind since you now work for SAP. We have 1-2 BSP applications written without MVC pattern. We are thinking to convert that to MVC using Webdynpro ABAP. Do you suggest that for any new applications we should start using Webdynpro ABAP and not BSP ? I look at Webdynpro as ABAP query(with not much flexibility) and BSP as normal ABAP coding (which offers more flexibility). Is my assumption correct ? I want to know where SAP is investing in future; is it Webdynpro OR BSP ?
    Also, do you know if SAP has come out with new themes like Design2009 or Design2010 or Design2011. We currently use Design2003 and it does not work well with Firefox or Chrome.
    Thanks once again for writing that book. In fact, I will be training one of my colleague next week on BSP and I am planning to go throu your book this weekend to refresh my memory before training her.

  • HOW TO DRAG AND DROP IN CALENDAR ?

    Hi guys,
    Once again I rely on your infinite wisdom to help me out with a little question I'm having regarding the Drag and Drop Functionality in the new Calendar control of the new APEX 4.1 (pretty cool by the way).
    The thing is that I'm trying to create a simple little page for scheduling purposes, basically for having a centralized place in which the members of a team with a remote manager put the info of which days are they planning on working and when will they start their shift and when they gonna leave, for that purpose I made use of the new Calendar control (pretty neat) which is working fine and is being fed by the following query (note that the field "DISPLAY_COLUMN" is the value that is displayed on the calendar):
    SELECT
    CASE WHEN eas.IS_HOLIDAY = 1 THEN ea.FNAME || ' (OOTO Using a make up Holiday)'
    WHEN eas.IS_VPN = 1 THEN ea.FNAME || ' (' || to_char(eas.SHIFT_START,'HH:MIPM') || ' - ' || to_char(eas.SHIFT_END,'HH:MIPM') || ')' || ' on VPN '
    WHEN ( eas.IS_VPN = 1 AND eas.IS_HOLIDAY = 1 ) THEN ea.FNAME || ' (' || to_char(eas.SHIFT_START,'HH:MIPM') || ' - ' || to_char(eas.SHIFT_END,'HH:MIPM') || ')' || ' on VPN & its Holiday '
    ELSE ea.FNAME || ' (' || to_char(eas.SHIFT_START,'HH:MIPM') || ' - ' || to_char(eas.SHIFT_END,'HH:MIPM') || ')'
    END AS DISPLAY_COLUMN
    , ea.ID AS ea_ID
    , ea.NAME AS ea_NAME
    , ea.FNAME AS ea_FNAME
    , ea.EMAIL AS ea_EMAIL
    , eas.ID AS eas_ID
    , eas.ASSIGNEE_ID AS eas_ASSIGNEE_ID
    , eas.DATE_ENTRY AS eas_DATE_ENTRY
    , eas.SHIFT_START AS eas_SHIFT_START
    , eas.SHIFT_END AS eas_SHIFT_END
    , eas.IS_VPN AS eas_IS_VPN
    , eas.IS_HOLIDAY AS eas_IS_HOLIDAY
    , CASE WHEN eas.IS_VPN = 1 THEN 'VPN'
    ELSE NULL END AS VPN_TEXT
    , CASE WHEN eas.IS_HOLIDAY = 1 THEN 'HOLIDAY'
    ELSE NULL END AS HOLIDAY_TEXT
    FROM EBA_ASSIGNEES ea, EBA_ASSIGNEES_SCHEDULE eas
    WHERE ea.ID = eas.ASSIGNEE_ID
    ORDER BY DISPLAY_COLUMN
    Alright, so far so good, everything is working just fine, the pop up window is inserting the calendar entries in the correct table as expected, but now I'd like to make use of the "Drag and Drop" functionality of this amazing control, to be able to "Clone" calendar entries in different dates instead of having the employees inserting their daily schedule for every day, so I'd like to be able to drag an existing entry from a certain day in the calendar and drop it elsewhere and I'd like the OnDemand process to make an insert on the table but with minor changes (like the date of the entry, of course) ,and I'm currently getting stuck in what to put in the OnDemand PLSQL process for that to happen (and how to reference the info in the row I'm currently dragging in the PLSQL code).
    Here's the table in which I'm currently inserting the Calendar entries (and in which I want to insert the result of the drag and drop as well):
    CREATE TABLE "EBA_ASSIGNEES_SCHEDULE"
    (     "ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
         "ASSIGNEE_ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
         "DATE_ENTRY" DATE NOT NULL ENABLE,
         "SHIFT_START" DATE,
         "SHIFT_END" DATE,
         "IS_VPN" NUMBER,
         "IS_HOLIDAY" NUMBER,
         CONSTRAINT "EBA_ASSIGNEES_SCHEDULE_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("ID") ENABLE
    Please guys, help me out here, I think this might be a simple process I just don't know how to proceed.
    Thanks in advance.
    Daniel Villegas.

    Hi,
    There are 3 things which you need to be clear about Drop & Drop On Demand Process.
    1. Which Column is used as primary Key while creating the SQL Calendar, you can find this under calendar attributes, Since your SQL Query used for Creating Calendar does not have ROWID, I think you would have ID column "eas.ID AS eas_ID" from your query.
    2. Which Column is used as Date Column in the Calendar from your query i think it must be one of these "DATE_ENTRY" DATE NOT NULL ENABLE, "SHIFT_START" DATE, "SHIFT_END" DATE, for the on demand process i will take DATE_ENTRY as your date column, please change accordingly
    3. Which Table need to be updated with the new date value when the data is dragged. In your case the Table will be "EBA_ASSIGNEES_SCHEDULE"
    So the on demand process will look like this.
    declare
    l_date_value varchar2(32767) := apex_application.g_x01;
    l_primary_key_value varchar2(32767) := apex_application.g_x02;
    begin
    update EBA_ASSIGNEES_SCHEDULE set DATE_ENTRY= to_date(l_date_value,'YYYYMMDD HH24MISS')
    where ID = l_primary_key_value;
    end;

    Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
    If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
    Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
    You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way.
