Appointment booking application - Calendar or a custom component

Hello,
I am building an ADF application that books appointments for few resources, say 4 rooms against single calendar. I have given a pictorial view that I am trying to achieve.
Time | Room1 | Room2 | Room3 | Room4
============================
09:00 |--Slot1------|---Slot2--|-----------|--Slot4
09:15 |--------------|------------|--Slot3---|--------
09:30 |--------------|------------|-----------|--------
10:00 |--------------|------------|---------- |--------
A few key points:
-Slots differ in start time, end time, duration from other rooms as shown above.
- I am interested in only a day view.
- User should be able to interact with slots.(Click and book appointment, Slots should be displayed in different color based on booked status)
Analysis: I considered day view of ADF calendar component, and left with a few questions.
*1. Does calendar support grouping view activities under one column? and Does it support multiple columns in a day view?*
*2. Would you suggest any other component to do the job?
A similar requirement is raised in this [ADF EMG group|https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/adf-methodology/XAilw6EkV44] , but couldn't find a solution there.
Kindly advise.
Thanks

I found this component, with available source:

Changing state of application from within a custom component

Hello, I have several custom components all of which are included in the parent application.
When I try to change state from a custom component, I get an error saying "undefined state: state name". How do I change the state of the application from within a custom component ? All the states are defined in the parent application.

@linrsvp,
If you are using Flex3 try Application.application.currentState = "somestate";
If you are using Flex4 try FlexGlobas.topLevelApplication.currentState = "somestate";
Don't forget to import the corresponding namespaces for the above.
Thanks,

If this still doesn't help then you could contact Sun to get help from Sun Professional Services. Writing a custom Convergence application is far from trivial.

Listening in main application for event coming from custom component

I have a custom component that im using for a login. i watch videos and tutorials on how to pass variables between custom components and application. the problem im having is that must tutorials or explanation have you put the event on the custom component and then it refers to some function within the main app.
Is there a way to just listen on the main app when that event kicks off? ive been trying for hours and i know there has to be something im missing it cant be that hard. any help i would really appreciate.
Thanks
Miguel

Sounds like you're asking about addEventListener():
     <fx:Script>
          <![CDATA[
               import mx.events.FlexEvent;
               protected function windowedapplication1_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
                    comp.addEventListener("test", testHandler);
               private function testHandler(e:Event):void {
                    trace(e);
          ]]>
     </fx:Script>
     <local:TestComponent id="comp"/>
Add an event listener on your custom component (first string is the 'type' of the event).

Error in application: custom component Localization in flex library project

Hi!
I created custom component in flex library project and I created resource bundle for it. Now it all compiles, but when I add the component to other project I get an error: Unable to resolve resource bundle "Guestbook" for locale "en_US".
So can someone help me with this?

Where are your resource bundles located in relation to your Flex project src folder?
You may need to add the path to the bundles using Project - Properties - Flex Build Path and then add the parent folder to the resource bundles.
If this post answers your question or helps, please mark it as such.

Unable to create books or calendar in iphoto 08

Hi,
I bought my computer two months ago and am now trying to create a book and calendar for the holidays, but neither are working. The Calendar button does nothing and the book button works, but when the drop-down screen comes up, I am unable to choose what "type" of book I want, nor is there any info on the box to the left. I have visited the genius bar and have called support and no one has been able to help me. They even re-installed the operating system, iLife, iphoto, etc. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if they have solved it or if anyone has any advice?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First have you installed the latest iPhoto 7.1.1 update and theiLife Support 8.1.1 update? If not do so followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility and try again.
If the above doesn't fix the problem it looks like you'll have to reinstall iPhoto from the disks that it came on, probably the system install disks that came with your computer. Here's what you'll have to do:
1 - delete the current application.
2 - delete any files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in your HD/Library/Receipts folder.
3 - delete the Themes folder from your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder.
Also look in the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If there is one there then delete it also.
5 - boot into the system disk that came with your computer and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto. (Note: if you ever use iDVD you might try it first and see if it's themes are available. If not you'll have to do the same for iDVD as I laid out for iPhoto).
After installing reinstall the iPhoto 7.1.1 updater again followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime, 7.3.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Custom component composed of other components

Hello.
I have a form (long, but simple) that is reused a few times across my applicaition. It would be great if I could package it as a JSF component. But I see no obvious way to create an UIComponent composed of other UIComponents.
Are UIComponents really meant to be written from scrach, each parsing it's own request parameters and outputting raw html? Am I missing something?
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply, but I'm still stuck...
How do I go about writing a composite custom
component? Instanciating all sub components and
delegating encoding and decoding to each? That's the road I try to take first.
- Construct a SMALL test-bed application to develop your component.
- consider implementing the naming container interface if you add components as children
- consider acquiring "JSF in Action" from Kito Mann, it's the book with most samples for component building
- announce "absences" to your family. It takes longer than you think beforehand ;-)
- If your servlet-container starts up in less than 10 seconds it's better...
I'm afraid to be asking too much, but does anyone
know where can I find an example of this? I'm
currently browsinng the MyFaces code, but so far
whithout much luck....Well the myfaces code is the second best source after JSF in action and then there are a few tutorials on the net... time to surf to google and http://www.jsftutorials.net/
hope this helps

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.

Problem with attributes in custom component

Hi All,
I am creating a simple jsf PanelGrid custom component....in that component I am adding two new attributes....
when I use that tag in my jsf application it is rendering fine in the client side....but the parent class that is PanelGrid component's attributes are not inheriting to my custom panelgrid....
can any one tell me how can I use the attributes of the super class PanelGrid??
Thanks...

Have you configured the attributes in the tag library descriptor?

ILife '06 Books and Calendars broken in iLife '08

I just installed iLife '08, and immediately installed the iPhoto 7.0.2 update before launching the app. Now, all of the books and calendars that I created in in iLife '06 are broken. The formatting is certainly incorrect for the books and calendars, and also, when trying to edit the book, features seem to be missing, like the top horizontal strip that shows you all of your book's pages.
New Books and Calendars created in iPhoto 7.0.2 seem fine.
Any ideas on how to 'fix' these Books and Calendars?

tvaziri:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If the themes you were using are no longer supported in iPhoto 08 it may not be able to salvage the book in the theme you started. I had a book started in Storybook theme and after the conversion it was still OK except it now had a dust jacket included instead of the photo on the actual cover. There was a warning that if I changed themes I wouldn't be able to go back. I worked on it for a while and then decided to change to a supported theme. Don't know of any way to recover them except to change to a supported theme. Make a copy of the book, select and type Command-D, before you change.

How can I make a custom component focusable?

Hi all,
I'm using a custom made component that consists of a JLabel
and a JTextField. I want to make this component focusable,
and when it's in focus I want the JTextField to have the
focus so that the user can start typing immediately.
I've looked at the java tutorial
(http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/focus.html#focusable).
When my component gets the focus I request the focus to the
JTextField. The problem is: whenever i check if my custom
component has the focus, it hasn't because JTextField has it
(the focus, i mean :-) ) Which isn't strange i think, but
how can i solve this problem?

I want to make this component focusable, and when it's in focus I want the JTextField to have the focus
The problem is: whenever i check if my custom component has the focus, it hasn't because JTextField has it (the focus, i mean :-) So whats the problem the textField has focus as desired.
You don't need to make the containing panel focusable in order for the text field to receive focus. The FocusManager is smart enough to place focus on the first focusable component contained in the panel. If you make the panel focusable then you will need to use the tab key twice, once to move focus to the panel and a second time to move focus to the text field.

What exactly is the process that syncs address book and calendar to google?

I have been syncing with google somewhat successfully for the past 6 months or so, but I am still confused about exactly how it's working.
I have my calendar set up as a caldav account, and it appears to be working fine. I would like to know if calendar still syncs even if the calendar application is not open. I tend to leave it open, but I don't know if that is necessary. Also, I don't understand if calendar has anything to do with isync. I am referring to the little isync icon in the menu bar. Does a caldav account have anything to do with that, or does it sync on its own?
The address book is a little more confusing. From what I have figured out, it only syncs manually by clicking the little isync icon in the menu bar. Is that correct? Is there no way for it to sync automatically like I think caldav accounts do in calendar? Also, I wonder about the application here too. Does the application have to be open for address book to sync with google?
Thanks, I hope someone can explain this a little better!
PS- I am actually running 10.6.8, but don't see an option for that in my product details.

I could sit here and do a bunch of tests, I suppose. I'd have to disable my internet connection before opening the ical and address book applications to see if it syncs without being open. Because I assume it could just refresh upon launching the application. I wish someone could just gice me a clue here. Anyone?

Not sure this will work but if you go into the Keyboard preferences, then click the Keyboad Shortcuts tab, and then the '+', you can add your own shortcuts for any application. I am not sure what happens if you try to override an existing shortcut since I haven't tried using this.
Edit/Update:
Probably against my better judgement I'll also throw this out there - there's an Unsanity haxie called Menumaster which might also allow you to do what you want. Against my better judgement because personally I stay clear of haxies. It's (all haxies) probably almost certain to break in Lion. They always do with each major release.

How do I tie a custom-component to a class?

In flash there's this great way of seperating code from
content: In the properties menu of a movieclip in your library, you
can assign a class name to the movie. So something I very regularly
do is:
class MyMovieClip extends MovieClip{
//etc..
so I'd have all the code that manages my movies nicely tucked
away in some .as files, no code in the fla. That's the way I like
it.
So I was wondering if you can do a similar thing in Flex. I
most definitely don't want the code for my application in the .mxml
file, I actually want to inherit the Application class. Similarly,
I'd like to inherit the Canvas class, yet have the nice gui for
dragging all the visuall elements in place. Is there a way?
Regard, and thanks in advance,
Karel

If you look in the library panel, there should be an entry for your custom component - probably something like CustomComponent1.mxml. Drag this out onto the artboard to create a new instance of the component.
In the case of a custom component, you can't change much on the second instance. If you have something like a text input skin though, you can change the text it is displaying for each instance.
We are working on making this sort of thing easier in the future, so stay tuned
