Dynamic Indicator/Control on GUI

Is there a way to dynamically change a control or indicator on a GUI's front panel without using a Subpanel? I'm specifically thinking about an application which contains multiple hardware configurations. Each configuration is an Object-Oriented child of type "UUT" with different control/indicator configurations.
I have an example which uses sub panels, but I'm looking for something that can use the Class control directly instead of creating an additional control

Hi Nelson,
I'm trying to understand what you are asking, do you want the control itself to change for the different hardware configurations or are you wanting to change what controls are shown, just without using subpanels?

In a word, yes. More specifically, I want to be able to use the control in the Class. However I could live with creating
a type def and then have that be my class control.

I'm not saying that there's anything necessarily wrong with that except for the added complexity.
Have you had a chance to look at the example I created? Is that like something you do?
I think I'm coming to the realization that there may not be a perfect way to change a control on a gui without a subpanel.

How do i drag indicator control type on WPF instead of using Drag and Drop points

In my WPF application, i have a window which is docked with the screen. i want to automate to expand the window using an Indicator control type, by sliding it. As of now i use StartDrag and StopDrag using specific points, which is not correct when it runs
in many other screens.
Could you please let me know, is there way to slide the control (to set window display size to viewable) without using drag and drop action using points.

Hi Pavithra,
>> As of now i use StartDrag and StopDrag using specific points, which is not correct when it runs in many other screens.
To really understanding this issue, could you share us what you mean by ”which is not correct”? It would be much helpful if you could share us a screen shoot about your UI and your issue.
>> Could you please let me know, is there way to slide the control (to set window display size to viewable) without using drag and drop action using points
Do you mean that the control of the WPF is invisible and you want to set the window display size to make it visible? If so, I think you could use the Mouse.MoveScrollWheel Method to change the windows view until the control is visible. The link below might
be useful to you:

Bringing dynamically created controls into scope

Normally I can bring controls into scope in a function with
the line
var myControl = myControl;
where myControl is the name of the control.
If I dynamically create controls (called say cbx1, cbx7 etc.
where the
numbers are all different, but not necessarily contiguous)
and save
their names in myArray, then myArray[0] will contain the name
of one of
my new controls.
How can I bring this control into scope in my function?
And is there a way to create, read and change variable
variables in
ActionScript?
Doug

create an array within your function that's local to your
function, if that's what you want. what's the purpose,
though?

I have a bunch of technical indicator controls that I am thinking of displaying in a popup

I have a bunch of technical indicator controls that I am
thinking of displaying in a popup. The only thing is I have to use
outer document to pass lots of parameters into it from the popup,
Is there an easier way to have these controls communicate with the
parent application without stuffing them into the already crowded
application space?

"The only thing is I have to use outer document to pass lots
of parameters into it from the popup."
Pass lots of parameters into "what" from the popup? Into the
technical indicator controls?
Are you trying to figure out how these controls (located in
the popup?) can communicate with the parent application?
If so, you could pass the data using custom events, and
define your custom events so the event object contains the data you
want to pass, and have the application listen for the events.
Or you could use a model to store the data, and the
application accesses the model.

Can you customize an Indicator/Control shape?

Hello everyone,
This is a question that has puzzled me for a long time. Is it possible to make an indicator/control any shape other than a rectangle? I am well aware of creating custom controls and using .pngs as a method of making controls appear irregular shaped by using transparency, but you can still click on the transparent parts and have it register as a click on the control. I want to be able to define the actual edge of the control as something irregular. My end goal is to fit many of these controls together like a puzzle, and I don't want to be clicking on the wrong piece because the transparent corners of one control overlap the other.
I put together an extreme example to illustrate my point.
The image below shows the border of a custom indicator:
If I put a blue indicator of the same type next to it you will see that the transparent border of the red shape blocks the blue shape and it is now impossible to click on the blue shape.
What I would like to be able to do is make a border (not rectangular) that hugs the exact shape of the indicators. Like I said, this is obviously an extreme example, but hopefully you see what I'm talking about.
I have searched around the forums and the internet for a solution and I have not found anything, leading me to believe that it might not be possible. But, as no one has actually said it's impossible, I'm still hopeful.
My one glimmer of hope is that some of the Boolean controls are truly round and maybe there is a way to apply this to a custom control.
Thanks in advance,
-Aaron

Yes and no (very helpful, I know).
Yes, it can be done - the graphics are drawn using both vector and bitmapped images. The vector format allows you to create shaped controls. You can see this if you customize the control and replace the image with something from the decorations palette.
The problem, however, is that the vector format (called PICC) is proprietary. There are no tools available for editing it and, if memory serves, any vector graphic you will import from outside LV (such as EMF and WMF, which are supported) will not give you that specific behavior (although I suggest you do try it with a proper program, as opposed to PowerPoint, which is what I usually use, as it might work).
What some people do to work around this is use a picture control to draw up the graphics, then analyze where the clicks were using a Mouse Down event and some logic. If you want to simplify your logic, let each block have a distinct color. You can then just look at the color of the pixel which was clicked and use a lookup table to determine which block has that color.

AutoScrolling of PanelLayout and setting Location of dynamically created controls

Hi, I have a question related to setting Location of dynamically created controls when my PanelLayout is scrolled down or up.
So basically I have wrote a code that lets me drag on control over other other and replace their's locations.
So I wanted to add possibility for user to dynamically add new controls (every new control is suppose to be 200px below previous) - everything is fine as long as I add them from upper section of my LayoutPanel (without scrolling) but when I try to add
them while I'm half dawn scrolled they are placed based on CURRENT left upper corner which is NOT a upper left corner of LayoutPanel therfore they are placed with wrong padding based on current scrolled position.
So my question is how can I avoid it and always add new controls based on LayoutPanel upper left corner? (I have already tried disabling AutoScroll while adding new control and enabling it back after adding - it works but I want to find PROPER way because
I'm sure there must be some kind of solution to it)
Thanks in advance.

Hi darekg11,
>> I have a question related to setting Location of dynamically created controls when my PanelLayout is scrolled down or up
I am wondering what the PanelLayout was, was it a “flowLayoutPanel” or “tableLayoutPanel”?
>> basically I have wrote a code that lets me drag on control over other other and replace their's locations
Did you mean you drag the control at runtime or at design time?
>> how can I avoid it and always add new controls based on LayoutPanel upper left corner
I could not reproduce your issue, and could you share us some key code or a simple demo to reproduce your issue?
I made a research about “scrolling panel”, and I think the link below might be useful to you:

Dynamic Access Control : Suggested Value Claim

Currently studying for my 70-417 Exam, there's one thing i don't fully understand and can't find any resources that explain it.
A claim type can be created, from what I understand the "suggested values" are optional, these can remain empty like for example the department resource property.
But why is there an suggested value option for the department?

Hi,
When we create a new claim type, in the Suggested Values section, click No values are suggested.
But search for the department attribute in the Filter box and make sure that the
department string is highlighted in the results. Add Finance and
HR as suggested values.

How to control iTV GUI from server

I wanna develop iTV like DVB-MHP Ref-Impl at devicetop.com, but I want to control the GUI from server not build the GUI at client. it's like if we build web page database. at client side will request page to server and server send the UI+database to client. but the client side is iTV from devicetop. can I realize this???
what web server that can make it realize??

Well, MHP doesn't explicitly support it, but if you can implement it, then it's allowed. Implementing it is the hard part :)
The rest of this answer assumes that you're not using DVB-HTML (fairly safe, since no available platform that I know of currently supports it). If this isn';t the case, please ignore the rest of this.
Narakrishna, why do you want to build the GUI on the server and not the client? Given the way that MHP is designed to operate (e.g. like writing any other Java code, where the client running the app handles everything), then doing this will get extremely complex. You're assuming that a return channel exists and is always on, which will not be the case for most users. Since most of the existing MHP implementations use PSTN modems for the return channel if they have one, using an application like this could get very expensive for the user. This situation isn't likely to change in the short term.
It could also be more computationally expensive to render a GUI built on the server than to just build the GUI on the client, since the GUI would eventually have to be converted to Java objects to be displayed. It's much easier to simply build the GUI on the client from Java objects int he first place.
One way of doing someting similar (at the expense of object carousel size and application loading time) would be to hold the descriptions of pre-built GUI components in the oject carousel. You can then update these when you need to. There's a couple of downsides to this approach though:
1) the GUI components are the same for every user
2) depending on what you wanted, you'd still need to do some customisation on the client.
3) you need some way of turning the description in to a real Java GUI component. Maybe you could serialise Java objects for your GUI and do it that way, but I'm not sure.
On the whole, I don't think that this is the best approach to building a GUI for MHP apps due to the limitations of the platform.

How to create Dynamic Table Control

Hi
How to create Dynamic Table control , The field names and values to be displayed in table control are to be fetched from Add-on Tables.
Regards
Prasath

Hi Jonathan,
Actually the columns to be displayed are not constant . It will be increased based on the database values, Anyhow it will not exceed 100.
Please confirm my understanding.
1. In this case I have to create 100 custom columns and make it visible / invisible based on my requirement and I can set the title at runtime.
2. How can i assosicate / reassociate the datadictionary reference for the columns that i use. Because I need to show the search help values for the
dynamic columns.
Your opinion on this will be helpful.

Creating a dynamic sqlldr control file

Hi,
I am in need of creating a dynamic sqlldr control file that will check the flat file, delimiter and load the data in a table. The table is having all the columns but the flat file can vary time to time.
looking forward for your valuable suggestions.
Regards
Rajib.

You may want to post more explicit requirements if you want sample code. For example, what the file looks like, what variations are allowed, what variations are disallowed, an example control file that would be output, etc. Specifying the precise language you're using (there are many different shell scripting languages) would also help.
In my experience, though, this sort of thing is almost always a one-off-- examples don't tend to be particularly helpful because every set of requirements tends to be very particular. If you have a full understanding of the requirements, and a decent understanding of your scripting language, I doubt it would take more than half a day to knock something together.

Delivery Completion Indicator- Control?

Hi all,
In our organization we have defined the release strategy in such a way that, we are having 8 release codes in a release strategy,, by means of release indicator blocked and released,,,once the PO was released bythe initial hierarchy release indicator is set as blocked i.e we cant do any changes to the PO.
Requirement is I hv created a PO for 10 quantity.
Received only 04 quantity,,, by this time vendor told that he cant supply the balance quantity,,, so want to short close the PO. so set the delivery completion indicator during GR time,,, by which the Header status in PO was changed like this. Ordered -10, delivered -4, still to be delivered -0. This is what exactly we require,,, bur our end user try to do GR for the balance 6 items for the same PO,,, it has taken in even we set the delivery completion indicator,,,
Why this indicator is not having control?system should not allow us to do further GR if this indicator is set,, even its allowing us do, how to overcome this?
If ur suggestion is try to short close the PO by changing the ordered qty to 4,,, this is not possible in our business scenario as v r having typical release procedure as explained above. help me out
regards,
urendra

Hi,
This is a problem that is typically caused by blocking changes to an authorised PO.
It would be better to allow certain changes and reset the release instead of completely blocking the PO for change. That way if anything that affects the release changes, it will have to be authorised again, but if something changes that is NOT part of the release check, it can be done without problem.
That way you could set the "blocked" indicator as suggested, but if you changed the qty or price etc. the PO would have to be released again.
One final option would be to use a user exit in MIGO that checks for the DCI flag and prevents the GR.

Dynamic Table control header text

Hi everyone,
I need to change the column header texts of a table control dynamically.
There are 32 columns in my table control. I got the information that I have to use I/O fields for every columns as the column header texts to change it dynamically.
But it didn't work as the I/O box goes into the body of the table control instead of being placed in the header area. So I checked w/title and tried to drag and drop the I/O boxes on the header text place of table control. But it allowed only one I/O box to be there in the header area..
Please suggest me any idea to place the 32 I/O boxes in the header area as the corresponding column headers in the table control..
Thanks in advance,
Sheeba.

You can do it,
Just try the code,...
if you have requirement like to make changes in the same screen itself,
then follow the same thing in PAI Module
In PBO...
