Advice on creating a tricky custom component

Hi,
I'm working on creating a custom component which displays a image at the top of the canvas, and loops through a passed array collection, displaying each row of the array collection in a item renderer. So the component should look like this (see attached image).
As you can see from this image the header is a image itself, this will differ every instance of the panel, there should be 3 of these panels on the page. Then each row of data is a item renderer displaying the data provided from a array collection of value object. If there are 4 items in this array collection then the panel should show 4 rows, if there are 2 row in the array then the panel will display 2 rows. Also the height of the panel will dynamically change depending on the number of rows to show.
I was thinking of extending a Canvas component, and then passing in the image URL and trying to load and draw the image dynamically, then I was thinking of using the Drawing API to create the rectangle shape using the drawRoundRectComplex() of the graphics class.
The problems I see with this is that I don't think the drawn rectangle shape can re-draw itself to show the change in height when more or less row of data need to be be displayed.
Another option I have been thinking about is extending the Panel class to create my component, this may be better for handling the height resizing, but I'm not sure it can support the look of this component (the header image and the three rounded corners).
Could anyone give me some advice on what would be the better option for creating this component.
Thanks

Create complex custom component

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to create my own custom component in JSF. However I have several questions :
- It is not mandatory to create a renderer class, right ? the component can draw itself ?
- How can I create a custom component which would have several "values" inside ? for example let us supppose I want to create a custom JSF component to enter a IBAN. The IBAN is divided into several parts : BBAN, country code, key, Bank adresse,... but any tutorial I've found explain how to create a input component with only one simple value (for example the classical "CreditCardInputComponent").

Hi,
did you find a solution for your "composite" component problem?
I am also trying to create a custom component that contains several standard jsf components such as HtmlCommandLink and HtmlInputText.
I build all the standard components within my component programmatically using things like:
HtmlCommandLink link = (HtmlCommandLink) application.createComponent(HtmlCommandLink.COMPONENT_TYPE);
Also at the beginning of the encodeBegin I clear all children from my custom component using getChildren().clear()
and rerender the component based on my new internal model which I updated during the previous decoding of my component.
As a simple jsf custom tag it works ok, however, I am facing deep problems with action events as soon as I use the component within a jsf HtmlDataTable tag.
Am I missing something here?
Any ideas? Help is really really appreciated. This different behavior in different contexts is slowly but constantly driving me nuts.
cheers

Flex Print Job not working with custom component

Hi All,
I have to print pages with header, body and footer. So the thought process was to create a custom component fro header, footer and body. Header component is based on Box, Body is a renderer (which will have fix value of items - and will decide the number of possible pages) and footer is again based on Box.
But when i created a simple Custom component like this for header
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:VBox xmlns:fx=http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
<fx:Declarations>

</fx:Declarations>
<mx:HBox>      <mx:Label id="testLabel" text="Test Container"/>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:VBox>
Then when i try to add this to FlexPrintJob, and save it as 'xps' to see the print output, i get error message that this file is in use or damaged.
    var myPrintJob:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
if(!myPrintJob.start()){
      return;
var header:Header = new Header();
header.width = myPrintJob.pageWidth;
header.visible = false;
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.addChild(panierPrintHeader);
myPrintJob.addObject(header);
myPrintJob.send();
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.removeChild(panierPrintHeader);
But this does not work and i get the above mentioned exception. Now when i not use the custom component and just have a label or HBox or anything on stage before the print functionality is invoked, it works fine. And this too haapens only if you have a mxml component, i tried by creating a new Label component using actionscript and then provide the same to the printJob, which did not work either. I need help on this, else i will have to take print functionality to server side(Java) which has some business implications, the reason why i am spending time on flex for printing.
Thanks and Regards,
Jigar
Looks like custom component print is not working fine with flex or i am doing something terribly wrong.
Looking forward for help.

Is there nobody in flex community who can help on this....
Looks like a toothless class that adobe actionscript team has provided, which is not liked across much

Advice for Creating a Custom Default User Profile in Windows Enterprise 8/8.1 Preview

Just after some advice on the Best way to create a custom Default User Profile for our Windows 8 Enterprise Image.
We are also looking at the Windows 8.1 Enterprise preview so advice on creating a Default User profile for this would also be appreciated.
My Requirements are listed below
-Pinned Web sites that open in Windows 8 App style IE
-Default Windows 8 pre-installed Apps
-The Microsoft Lync Windows 8 Client from the App Store *I understand this would be tricky, not fussed though if it cant be done*
-Customised Start screen layout
I have tried the Copy Profile tag in the Unattend.xml and syspreped the machine, this did not work.
I have tried using the new "Start Screen Layout" Group Policy object, this also did not work
The Closest I can get was to setup a user profile, Backup the Default User profile, Rename the User I worked on to "Default", Clean up the temp folder, then navigate through the user registry and replaced any absolute profile paths with the %USERPROFILE%
variable. This worked in terms of setting the layout of the start screen, but the Lync App was not present, and Windows 8 apps, eg Video, Music and IE, would crash when attempting to open them.
I know I am doing something wrong, so any advice would be much appreciated.
Thankyou

Still not getting the results that I want, to recap I am trying to do the following.
Create a Windows 8.1 Enterprise Standard Operating Environment (SOE) Image for laptop devices at our school. These devices will be in the Students hands 24/7 and will be joined to our Windows 2012 based domain.
I am trying to create a custom Default user profile for the image so that when a student logs onto the Laptop for the first time they get a start screen that we have created.
The start screen consists of Pre-installed Modern Apps, a modern app created by our Software team that is side-loaded, Office 2013 Applications, and most importantly Tiles for Websites such as our Learning Management System and Intranet Portal.
Now to the issues
I boot the target system into Audit mode, and setup the start screen accordingly. For the Websites,
I open the websites in the IE11 Modern app and use the built in control to pin the site to the start screen. Everything goes and looks as expected.
I then run sysprep with a custom unattend.xml with copyprofile inside it. Again everything runs as expected.
Now when I create a new user on the system the custom start screen appears however the websites that were pinned are no longer on the start screen. BUT when I manually open the Modern IE11 app, navigate to the website and pin the site, The Tile now appears
on the start screen in the location I put it.
<Rant>
Now this puts us in a situation where we can no longer deliver a Standard Operating environment for not just our managed laptops but also our labs where a student just wants to logon and get to work.
Why as a Desktop and System Administrator, who manages a fleet of 300+ Desktops and 1000+ Laptops do I not have the full power to customise things they way I want them.
Yes I am aware of the new Group Policy setting for deploying Start screen configurations, Doesn't work when Web sites are pinned
Yes I am aware of AppsFolderLayout.bin, Doesn't work for Pinned sites.
Do the links above to Microsoft TechNet articles explaining how to customise Start Screens help, No they do not.
Finally I am aware that I can just create a shortcut to the websites and pin those, the issue is that this does not utilise the new Live Tile code that was introduced with IE11 and we plan to use these Tiles as another notification system for our staff and
students.
I will continue to work on this, if I manage to find a solution myself I will post the process, however if anyone in the community, or from Microsoft for that matter, has a proven solution to pinning websites to the default user profiles start screen, please
post it.
</Rant>
Thankyou

How do you reference a valueObject located in main to a custom component created in Catalyst?

Hello,
I have been working with the Catalyst Beta 2 / Flash Builder beta trying to create a photogallery and have hit a little bit of a snag, try as I might I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. I am still new to Flex so please excuse me if this is a basic question, I have been trying to understand more about Flex to make my designs in Catalyst better.
I found this video on Adobe TV: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/rich-internet-applications-101/ria-stepbystep-16-binding-a-data- service-to-flash-builder-components/
It's wonderful and I have the datalist I created in Catalyst working with the XML file I generated but I designed my little photogallery a bit diffrent, I created a Custom Component in Catalyst so that when you click an item on the DataList it pop's up a little screen with a larger photo in on it, rather then having an image in the main application. Now my problem seems to be that I can't refrence the valueObject I created with the wizard as it's in my Main.mxml file, is there a way to refrence it from my Custom Component so the larger image will display? Is there a way to let the component know which item on the dataList in the main application is selected and display the correct image?
I should also say I really enjoy working with the Beta for both Flash Builder / Catalyst, thanks for the hard work!
Thanks for the help,
Chris

I am afraid you cannot bind to static properties in Windows Store Apps. It is simply not supported.
You could create a proxy class that exposes the static command property and bind to this property of an instance of the proxy object:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14186175/bind-to-a-static-field-in-windows-8-xaml
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4708711/how-can-i-use-the-xstatic-extension-for-phone7-silverlight-apps
You will of course have to create an instance of the proxy object. There is no way around this.

How to create custom component in CRM 2007

Hi.
I am new for the CRM 2007 Web UI.
Here we have CRM_UI_FRAME.
Like this so many Components are there.
I want how to create our own component.
I created it as follows.
Open the Transaction code bsp_wd_cmpwb.
Provide Z Name in the Component.
Zcomponent
Press Create button.
Go to Run Time Repository.
Press Change Mode.
Create a MODEL as ALL.
GO to Browser Component Structre.
Select View.
Provide View name.
Create the View.
Go to view Layout.
Provide the code like this.
<%@page language="abap"%>
<%@ extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb"%>
<%@ extension name="xhtmlb" prefix="xhtmlb"%>
<%@ extension name="crm_bsp_ic" prefix="crmic"%>
<%@ extension name="bsp" prefix="bsp"%>
<cthmlb:overviewFormConfig/>
Create the context under the context.
Go to Configuration tab.
Assigne the Attributes to the Screen.
GO to the Run Time Repository.
press change mode.
Assigne the view name to the Window.
Save it.
Test the Componet. But it is not diaply anything on the screen.
How i will get the data into the web UI.
Can anybody expalin about this one to me with screen shorts if possible.
I want add some fields into the web UI. Provide some values into that. Capture the values.
Navigate the data from one screen to another screen. How it is possible. I did not understand.
If i am changing any screens in the pre define component it shows dump.
So, now i need Custom component with adding of the fields.
Please give me proper information regarding this one.
Thank You.
Krishna. B.

Hi,
Try put the htmlb to show a field:
<thtmlb:label design="LABEL" for="//<context>/<field>" text="<field>"/>
<thtmlb:inputField id="<field>" maxlength="31" size="20" value="//<context>/<field>"/>
In order to get value, you can write a simple code in the event_handler:
LR_BOL type ref to IF_BOL_BO_PROPERTY_ACCESS
LR_BOL = ME->TYPED_CONTEXT-><context>->COLLECTION_WRAPPER->get_current()
var1 = LR_BOL->GET_PROPERTY_AS_STRING('FIELD').
take a look at lr_bol methods so that you can see the set and get methods.

Renato.

Creating a custom component in multisim using *.lib and *.olb files

i have *.lib and *.olb files for a pspice model. which file i have to you while creating a custom component in multisim.

Hello,
Thanks for your question. In order to create simulatable custom components in Multisim you need a SPICE model (Multisim can also understand PSpice Models). The file format for SPICE model can be different according to the manufacturer, for instance: *.cir, *.lib, *.llb. At the end of the day these files are text files that you can open with a text editor, therefore, you can simply copy and paste the model in Multisim.
Here are two good resources on component creation:
Component Creation 101
Creating a Custom Component in NI Multisim
When you reach the step where you need to enter the SPICE model, simply open the *.lib or *.olb file with a text editor, and copy and paste the model.
Hope this helps.

Creating an HtmlCommandLink in a Custom Component

Hi,
A simplified version of my problem is as follows: I have created a custom component that delegates to a renderer. Within the renderer I create an instance of the HtmlCommandLink class to which I want to assign an action with the setAction method. However, when I try doing this with the line:
link.setAction(Util.createConstantMethodBinding("success"));
The page renders but the link does not work.
or:
MethodBinding vb = context.getApplication().createMethodBinding("success", null);
link.setAction(vb);
I get an exception.
I have set the navigation rule in my faces-config file for "success".
I am new to JSF and so I might be doing something stupid or missing the point somehow but I want to be able to create HtmlCommandLinks within a custom class rather than from a tag on the page.
Any help appreciated,
Barney

can you please post your exception as well as your JSP page.
Thanks

Help with creating a custom component.

Hi. I have created a really simple custom component called
myComp. It is a simple Canvas 100 pixels x 100 pixels with an Image
control component.
<mx:Canvas>
<mx:Image id="image1">
</mx:Canvas>
After instantiating the component in Main.mxml eg. var
pic1:myComp = new myComp(); I am having a problem setting the
source property of the Image component.
"image1" is the id of mx:Image in the custom compoenent so I
tried pic1.image1.source = "assets/ball.jpg" but I get a run time
error "Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference".
Don't really know what I am doing wrong.
Any help please!

In your custom component, try adding a bindable public var
which contains the path to your image. Also, set the image.source
to this var.
In your main app, set the var within the <mx:> tags of
the custom component. Since it is a public var, it will show up in
the code hint. You can also now change the image var from the main
app anytime you like using ActionScript code.

Where to create root BOL in custom component - best practice

Hi Experts,
I have created a BOL class to insert values into a ZTable.
I have created a custom component/views for the BOL. Now how will the create method in the BOL will be called. In which method of the component controller or view controller do I create the BOL root..
I want to use the following code.
CALL METHOD SUPER->WD_CREATE_CONTEXT
DATA:
lref_substitute           TYPE REF TO if_bol_bo_property_access,
lv_index                  TYPE i,
lref_bol_entity           TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_entity,
lrf_cuco                  TYPE REF TO cl_gs_mcat_mcat_impl,
lref_bol_core             TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_core,
lv_object_name            TYPE crmt_ext_obj_name VALUE cl_crm_catego_genil=>gc_ob_schema,
lv_create_param               TYPE crmt_name_value_pair_tab,
lv_number                     TYPE int4 VALUE 1,
lref_new_substitute       TYPE REF TO if_bol_entity_col,
lr_tx                     TYPE REF TO if_bol_transaction_context
lref_bol_core = cl_crm_bol_core=>Get_instance( abap_true ).
lv_object_name = 'ZHRUS_D2'.
TRY.
    CALL METHOD lref_bol_core->root_create
      EXPORTING
        iv_object_name = lv_object_name
        iv_create_param = lv_create_param
        iv_number       = lv_number
      RECEIVING
        rv_result       = lref_new_substitute.
CATCH cx_crm_unsupported_object .
ENDTRY.
CHECK lref_new_substitute IS BOUND.
lref_substitute ?= lref_new_substitute->get_first( ).
CHECK lref_substitute IS BOUND.
me->typed_context->zhrus->collection_wrapper->clear( ).
me->typed_context->zhrus->collection_wrapper->add( iv_entity = lref_substitute ).
I give the code in various methods and it all works fine. But what is the best way to create the root node.
Regards,
Abdullah Ismail

Hi Abdullah,
I use something like this to create a root entity in the BOL Core. In this case, a standard entity: BTOrder.
*- Data dictionary
DATA lr_core         TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_core.
DATA lr_fac          TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_entity_factory.
DATA lt_params       TYPE crmt_name_value_pair_tab.
DATA lr_ent          TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_entity.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <line> TYPE crmt_name_value_pair.
*- Get the core instance and factory
lr_core = cl_crm_bol_core=>get_instance( ).
lr_fac = lr_core->get_entity_factory( 'BTOrder' ).
*- get supported parameters for this object
lt_params = lr_fac->get_parameter_table( ).
*- Set the process Type
READ TABLE lt_params ASSIGNING <line> WITH KEY name = 'PROCESS_TYPE'.
<line>-value = '0010'.
*- Create the BOL entity, based on parameters
lr_ent = lr_fac->create( lt_params ).
lr_ent = lr_ent->get_related_entity( 'BTOrderHeader' ).
*- Lock order
CHECK lr_ent->lock( ) = abap_true.
It is an alternative way. Check if it helps you creating your Z-Object in the BOL root
Kind regards,
Garcia

Creating a custom component

I am creating a custom component that is based on Canvas.
I am trying to add this component as a child of another
component like that:
myCanvas.addChild(myCustomComponent)
addChild function expect ObjectDisplay in its argument and
not a Class. I am little confused. If I am creating a component
that base on Canvas isnt it inherited from ObjectDisplay?
please help.

I actually figure it out. Thank you!!!
here is what I am trying to do.
1. creating component_A based on Canvas
2 in my Application I have Canvas_B
I wanted to add component_A as a child to Canvas_B
solution:
Canvas_B.addChild(new component_A ())

Creating a custom component is causing a strange scoping issue

I am a fairly new user to Flash and Actionscript, but I have
a fair amount of experience working with C and Java. I'm currently
working with Actionscript 2 in Macromedia Studio 8. I was trying to
create a new component for a project I am working on, and I
followed the tutorial in the help and all testing works while I am
in context of the flash document where I export the component from.
However, I try testing my component in a new blank document and I
get some strange behavior.
I am able to create a component on the stage, and adjust the
properties perfectly fine. However, when I test the file, the
variables for colors go out of scope. That is, the adjustments I
made to the component through the parameters panel, and saw updated
on the stage aren't demonstrated at runtime. The Number variable I
used however is preserved. I did some traces, and it appears that
this is happening because at runtime in the new blank document, the
variables in the onEnterFrame method go out of scope, where they
weren't before.
It seems really strange to me that I should be able to edit
the color on stage but have it revert while it is running. My
intuition says that if it wasn't going to work in the new document,
that it shouldn't work in either case.
Anyway, here is the code for the .as file, I hope I'm just
doing something stupid.

There seems to be a little confusion here. Think of it this way:
A basic UIComponent by itself is not visible; you can add something you can see to it to make a visual custom component. For example, a ComboBox component is a UIComponent with a ComboBox added to it.
The UIComponent is the lightest weight component available from which you can create other components. I use it as the base for custom components that the user cannot see, like a data manager.
HTH,

Create new / add Custom Node in Component Pallete - Workflow Editor

is there anyway to Create new / add Custom Node in Component Pallete - Workflow Editor in SQL Developer - Oracle Data Miner?
Now i'm in progress create data cleansing engine in database package, and I have an idea to create new node in workflow editor, the node will call my procedure data cleansing.
Anybody help?

Hi,
Not currently.
We are working on a SQL Query node that would process data on connected input nodes and allow the user to create any sql query specification they would like.
So as long as your implementation is compatible with being included as part of a sql query, then you may be able to take advantage of this new node.
Since you describe your implementation as a data cleansing implementation, I could see it taking in what ever input is provided in the flow, and then returning a cleansed result set.
Thanks, Mark

Custom Component Creates Unicode Files instead of UTF-8

We have a custom component running in our SAP Enterprise Portal. The component creates a XML Outputfile encoded in UTF-8 since we force the component to so so. In the environment we're using right now, the output is in Unicode, which is obviously wrong. In what way can we amend the settings of our WebAs to switch the output format to unicode? Where/with what means do we have to do that?
We are using Enterprise Portal 6.0 SP2, therefore WebAS 6.2.

Alexander,
Were you able to find the answer to your question? I am experiencing the same issue and need to know how to create an XML output file in UTF-8 encoding.
Thanks,
Shannon
