Drag/drop & maximize Panels within a Tile

Hi Guys,
I've had a look at WASI's Dashboard, and I would like to create a much simpeler version in Flex 4.
The begin is simple: Create a mx:Tile, dump a couple of s:Panels, everything's alligned properly. Looks good.
I'm confused in the next steps:
How to make the Panels 'movable'? Like: Drag the first s:Panel, and drop it as last.
How to make the Panels 'Maximizable' without pushing the other object away? I can edit the PanelSkin, ad a maximize button, but just changing size isn't enough... somehow this panel should be "lifted out" first before resizing. But how?
Can someone give me any pointers?

When you say Tile do you mean a tilelist ? as Tilelist allows you to drag items around.
To Maximise over the tilelist without touching the tile arrangement one approach would be to have a canvas with 1 child panel(maxpanel) that is not displayed.
maxpanel.top=maxpanel.left=maxpanel.right=maxpanel.bottom=0;
on maximize a tiled panel
maxpanel = mytilepanel;
mymaxcanvas.addchild(mytilepanel);
on minimize
mymaxpanel.removeChild(maxpanel);
well thats just off the top of my head.
I have some old code somewhere I did to drag tiles around whilst maintaining their original index positions which was good to do a reset, so i'll see if I can find it and put it up for you.

Drag Drop Dockable Panels

Hi there all,
Does anybody know if there is source code/widgets/extensions
out there to
achieve the same effect as the BBC home page.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/
It's really the ability to drag/drop/dock the panels and the
fact the panel
positions are stored (I'm presuming via a cookie).
Would really appreciate any help at all.
Cheers,
@ndyB

Manual Drag&Drop on Panel components

Ok people I have been following this example
http://blogs.adobe.com/flexdoc/drag_and_drop/
What the goal of my application will be to have a canvas on
top of my application and one at the bottom. I will start off with
a set of dynamically generated panels in the top or bottom canvas,
doesn't really matter which. I want to be able to count how many
panels are in each canvas and get the related id and name for each
panel in each canvas.
I have set up a canvas at the top where I pretty much just
have the code from that example I linked to at the top except that
my panels are generated on the fly and their count is variable. I
am STRUGGLING to create a "two way drag and drop" between the two
canvases (moving child panel from the top canvas to the bottom
canvas and vice versa).
I have found PLENTY of two way drop and drag examples but
they all were about lists, datagrid, or tree components -
components that already come built in with "drag and drop" and "two
way drag and drop" but in my case the drag and drop is manually
created.
I am totally clueless as to the process. Can anyone point me
in the right direction? I posted in the yahoo usergroups but so far
my post has NOT been approved and it was posted like three hours
ago.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Drag drop Sub Panel VI

Has anyone done a drag from a tree control and dropped the data into another control on the front panel of a VI running within a Sub Panel container? I believe I will have to use a queue to actually communicate the data from the parent vi to the vi in the sub panel, but let me know if I am barking up the wrong tree.

:Drag Drop From Panel to Tree

I have two panels in a page. I am creating a Tree control dynamically and adding to a Panel1. I have to drag an image from panel2 to the Tree on Panel1.
I set the Tree property to accept the drop. When I drop the image on the Tree, the DragDropComplete Event is not executing but the DragDropComplete Event of the Panel (Which is Tree parent container) is executing.
The DragEnter event on Tree is executing but the DragDropComplete not executing.
How can I invoke the DragDropComplete event on Tree. Pl show some pointers. I appreciate your help.

instead of dragComplete
     use dragDrop event
and at the end wirte event.stopImmediatePropagation
<Tree dragEnter="treeDragEnter(event)"   dragDrop="treeDragdrop(event)" />
protected function treeDragEnter(event:DragEvent):void
     if(event.dragSource.hasFormat('items'))
          DragManager.acceptDragDrop(DataGrid(event.currentTarget));
protected function treeDragdrop(event:DragEvent):void
     var items:Array = event.dragSource.dataForFormat("items") as Array;
     var str:String = new String(items[0]);var cols:Array = DG.columns;
     if(cols.indexOf(str)<0) {
     event.stopImmediatePropagation();

Problem with Drag and drop in panel dashboard

Hi
I am having problem with drag and drop in panel dashboard.
I will explain what i am doing.
I am using Oracle three column template in First region i am having a table that showing all customer.
I drag one record from my table and drop it on customer info (CIF) page on second region it is working fine.
my CIF page has a dashboard with 6 panel box. i am showing 6 different jsff in 6 panel box.
I put drop target in each jsff
<af:dropTarget dropListener="#{backingBeanScope.backing_customerinformation.handleItemDrop}"
actions="COPY">
<af:dataFlavor flavorClass="org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.model.RowKeySet"
discriminant="CustomerSearchDnD"/>
</af:dropTarget>
when i put drop target my panel boxes moves only when i drag it to another panel box header not entire part of panel box.
if i remove the drop target then panel box move normally as the example given on: [http://adfui.us.oracle.com:7778/faces-trunk/faces/visualDesigns/dashboard.jspx?_afrLoop=2021391022520156&_afrWindowMode=0&_afrWindowId=null] but in taht case i am not able to drag and drop my data

You must be an Oracle employee as you're referring to a component in the upcoming JDeveloper version which has yet been released to the general public. Oracle employee's are, I believe, directed to post on internal Oracle forums.

Drag & drop item within Tree not working

Hi,
I want to be able to drag & drop items within a tree but
items cannot move accross branches
It can only be moved within its branch.
For this I have a condition in dragDrop(event) handler.
When i drag item it does not move accross branches which is
intended but when i drop within its branch
on a different location,
the item does
not get dropped
Though i have dragMoveEnabled set to true.
my code looks like this:
private function onDragDrop(event:DragEvent):void {
var dropTarget:Tree = Tree(event.currentTarget);
var node:XML = myTree.selectedItem as XML;
var p:*;
p = node.parent();
if(node.parent().@label != "sameBranch") {
return;
} else {
// drop target.
Do i need to do anything else...
Please advice.
Thanks
Lucky

topping up, still did not find a way to do...
but i have handled all tree events like dragEnter and
dragDrop as described in the flex doc.
Has anyone faced a similar issue...

Lost drag and drop properties panel CP8

I developed a project in Captivate 7. It included some drag and drop interactions. I've upgraded to CP8 as we want to be able to release the training on mobile devices.
I have not set it up to be a responsive project at this point - I've not learned enough about how to do that.
I can create and edit new drag and drop interactions but as soon as I save them, close the file and reopen it, they are no longer editable. The drag and drop properties panel won't show up, the D&D outlines (blue and green) disappear, the D&D option in interactions is greyed out and I cannot edit the interaction at all. It still has the submit button in the corner and this cannot be deleted. There doesn't seem to be a way to edit the interaction at all.
When I go to close the file and save it, it tells me that it is a captivate 7 file and as soon as I save it, it won't open in Captivate 7 only 8. Save as just saves it as a Captivate file.
How can I work around this?

Drag&Drop would not work in responsive projects anyway.
Maybe this is due to the upgrade? And I suppose you are working in Newbie mode, where panels are controlled by Captivate? You could try in Expert mode (fourth option 'Enable...' in Preferences) because it will allow you to open the Drag&Drop panel from the Window menu.

Drag-n-Drop Illustrator Panel

I'm relatively new to extension building but well versed in HTML/JS. I'd like to build an extension similar to how Illustrator Symbols work where objects can be simply dragged from a panel onto an artboard. Creating Symbol libraries are great, but for larger objects, the preview is very small making it difficult to tell what you're looking at. The idea would be that the panel could display objects at their actual size or include a label describing what the element is.
Wondering if anyone can advise on the complexity of this, how feasible it is to build with EB3, and get pointed in the right direction.
Thanks!

Thanks Hallgrimur.
I've been playing around with EB3, creating sample projects, etc. and it's starting to gel. However, I'm guessing there's a native hook to reference an external file and place it onto the active artboard/canvas. I've searched through the CSInterface and CEPEngine API stuff but it's not apparent what function I would reference to achieve this. I think once I've got that I'm on my way! Appreciate any example you can provide or just pointing me in the right direction. Thank you.

Drag drop from bridge to InDesign.

I am having problems with getting drag drop to work from bridge to InDesign. I have made an extension that reads information from ouer dam and shows it in bridge. I wont to bee able to drag a node from that data from bridge(It shows fine in bridge with thumbs) to InDesign. I have enabled:
               if(infosetName == "item" || infosetName == "all")
                    infoset.cacheData.status = "good";
                        if(!currentNode.isContainer())
                            infoset.canBeDragSource = true;
                            infoset.canBeDropTarget = true;
in
        dbiModel.refreshInfoset = function(infosetName)
And made
        dbiModel.addToDrag = function(pointerToOsDragObject)
            return true;
        dbiModel.wouldAcceptDrop = function(type, sources, osDragRef)
            return false;
And are able to drag the node but other applications dosent accept it as valid.

In the Control Panel you have got a Bridge Icon

But I just don't see a way to go "Place from Bridge"
In fact - in all the years I've been on the forums I have never seen the request.

Emulating Drag & Drop in Transaction OAWD

Hello:
Iv'e been trying to automate dragging and dropping files into the TextEdit window via transaction OAWD. I've recorded the script using the script recorder and get this:
session.findById("wnd[0]").maximize
session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[0]/okcd").text = "oawd"
session.findById("wnd[0]").sendVKey 0
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/lbl[5,3]").setFocus
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/lbl[5,3]").caretPosition = 1
session.findById("wnd[0]").sendVKey 2
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/lbl[12,5]").setFocus
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/lbl[12,5]").caretPosition = 0
session.findById("wnd[0]").sendVKey 2
session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/txt[2]").text = "Test 2"
session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/txt[2]").caretPosition = 6
session.findById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[9]").press
session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/ssub/1/cntlSPLITTER/shellcont/shellcont/shell/shellcont[0]/shell").hierarchyHeaderWidth = 286

session.findById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[0]").press
session.findById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[12]").press
session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[0]/btn[3]").press
The .multipleFilesDropped is a method defined in the Scripting Help as :
Emulate a Drag&Drop operation, in which several files are dropped on the
textedit control. The collection contains for each file the fully qualified file
name as a string.
I've also tried replacing that method with the .SingleFileDropped method which is defined as:
This function emulates the drop of a single file with the directory path fileName.
I used .SingleFileDropped ("C:\SAP\myfile.pdf") when attempting this method.
No files are copied to the TextEdit window with either method. I'm trying to do this within an Excel macro and realize that my code will have to identify the files that should be dragged to the TextEdit window. Does anyone out there know how to automate the drag & drop step?

You can choice FileOpen Dialog via OAWD. But there we have the next issue:
No support for Microsoft common dialogs
Scripting for common dialogs (such as FileSave, FileOpen) is not supported.
I do not know if we have another Transaction beside OAWD which can get file-path as string Input.
When you want use MS Comm Dialog FileOpen you Need to use an seperate macro-enabled Excel instance which can control MS Comm FileOpen via USER32-Api calls during execution of SAP Session code.
This is an complex Workaround. Don´t know if this make any sense for your requirements.

Drag-&-dropped bitmaps downscaled, why?

Using Freehand 11.0.2.
When I drag-&-drop a .bmp file from Windows Explorer into
Freehand, it
shows up just fine, except Freehand decides to downscale it
for some reason.
For example, a 486x450 bitmap is downscaled to 364.5x337.5
(i.e. 75% scale)
when I drag-&-drop the .bmp file into Freehand. There is
noticeable image
quality loss due to the downscaling. The downscale factor is
always 75%.
Happens with TIFF files as well. Doesn't matter whether I'm
linking or
embedding.
What's going on?

First, understand that a raster image has a pixel count, and
it contains
dimensions, measured in inches (or centimeters or points) and
it has a
resolution which is the ratio of pixels per inch or ppi.
You are ignoring how FreeHand handles images. You have to
understand that
FreeHand places images according the the dimensions
(measurements) set in
the image file.
If I place a 300 ppi, 2 x 3 inch image, it will place as 2 x
3 inches in FH,
not 600 x 900 points. All the pixels will be used in printing
or EPS export,
but will not display at 100% view in FreeHand.
If you want your 96 ppi images to display at 72 pixels per
inch, which is
the native display ratio in FH, then you have two choices.
1. Within FH, scale the 96 ppi images. You can do this
accurately by using
the scale panel and entering 96/72*100. Press 'Scale". This
will scale by
133.33%.
Or
2. Open the files in an image editor and, without resampling
(without
changing the number of pixels), change the image *resolution*
to 72 ppi.
Save. Place this file in FH.

I deleted the "desktop" in tiger, can't "alias", "copy" or "drag & drop" anything to it now, I get a message that "desktop can not be changed"

I was trying to make an alias of "SAFARI" icon to have on the desktop & in the dock as well, I managed to make the safari icon appear on the desktop, but when I wanted to switch from firefox to safari it wouldn't open / start safari, so OK, no big deal, I moved it the trash, ( by rt. click,>move to trash>click ) the horror starts here, everything on the desktop disappeared into the trash !!!!! ......
So I have tried to "drag & drop", "alias", "copy", "duplicate" to get things back out of the trash, but every attempt is met with a message "the desktop con not be changed", and whatever I try to bring anything out of the trash window, it gets a "minus - sign" added to it when it crosses over the edge of the trash window, and of course it jumps right back into the trash when the mouse button is released.
I think (barely) I will need the do a "clean install", or a "restore" from the install DVD to restore / get the desktop back.
And while the only thing on the desktop now is the HDD icon, clicking it open does not show the desktop in the Lf. column of the window where it should be, or any OS X folders when clicking on anything, but the OS is is running for this post and yahoo, etc., and there is a upward facing arrow next to the "network" name in the left column, that doesn't go away, like after installing some software, this is weird !!
Any solid ideas welcomed, and Thanks for reading my driveling post, ..... wayne146 .........
this is happening on my back-up machine, a G4 400mhz PCI, OS X TIGER 10.4.11 & 9.2.2 in classic ( all the 9.2.2 stuff does still show in the hdd when clicked )
I am having bigger troubles with my QS 800 dp, so I need this one to stay online, Please help !!!

to safari it wouldn't open / start safari, so OK, no big deal, I moved it the trash, ( by rt. click,>move to trash>click ) the horror starts here, everything on the desktop disappeared into the trash !!!!!
I am confused by what you did.
open / start safari
What did you do? This looks like a terminal command.
Or, did you click on the safari icon then right click on the safari icon then click on open?
I do not understand how you that moving to the trash would be helpful.

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Dynamic Bea Portal: Drag&Drop, Ajax, Context Menu, etc...

Hi all,
Here's a buzzy discussion for all enterprise portal geeks:
I am currently implementing a portal on WLP.
On the other hand, I'm also building a proprietary framework to host several applications for a large institution.
For the latter, we are using Ajax and solid Javascript development to create a desktop-like visual environment (with reusable components, drag and drop between applications, context menus, dynamic windows, reusable views: list, detail, etc).
Given the functional contrast (between the portal and the rich application), I am becoming terribly frustrated by the inflexibility of the portal/portlet paradigm, and the innability to incorporate most of these concepts without hacking the specification... it's evident to me that the jsr168, as implemented now, has sacrificed too much in favor of too little (WSRP and portability) and carries with limitations imposed by arguably "obsolete" problems such as client statelessness or the innability to refresh the browser on a per portlet basis.
One might argue that the latter comes from a commitment to the "no javascript" development philosophy. But, doesn't Weblogic console, Portal admin and even the sample portal use javascript for non-trivial tasks??
OK, so we can use javascript... :-)
mmh, in that case, here are some obvious enhancements that come to my mind which still could be applied without violating the specification:
- Drag and drop of portlets within a page
- Lifecycle and State management occuring asynchronously over the wire, for each portlet independently
- Dynamic invocation of a given portlet with a javascript Api (on demand)
- Context menu (or similar) used to invoke a relevant portlet (by allowing registration, just like in a shell)
I am being <b>very</b> conservative here... and yet these features alone would create a dramatically more dynamic user experience without pushing the spec. Plus, we would be able to create lighter portal applications (smaller activation tree and the whole page reload overhead).
Of course portlet state and inter-portlet communication should (or could) then be passed to the visual interface. But, hey, isn't that where it should be? If you think about it, no portlet should allow potentially insecure operations to occurr unchecked, and for this matter, the consumer server environment is as dangerous as the user client environment (if you hold true to the producer-consumer-user paradigm).
Now, talking about interoperable portlets... how standarized is inter portlet communication anyway?
And what about mobile and js-disabled souls!!? well, I believe fallback is the word for them.
Anyway, all this issues should be resolved by the portal container, that's what we are paying for ;)!
how?... easy: clever, solid javascript and a smart fallback strategy.
If you feel I'm talking on air here, here's some pretty solid air:

I am currently experimenting on this issues, but I'm already having conceptual problems with the personalization service and others... (of course, it's all thought for something else).
Any ideas more than welcome.
BEA, what do you have in mind?
Regards,
Aldo

Hello Armin,
Do we have this feature available in Java Webdynpro now?
Best Regards,
Roby..
