How to wire a programmatic control with events

Hi, I believe I won't truly understand the iphone sdk until I've tried things both through IB and programmatically. Below is some code that works for me in viewDidLoad to instantiate a control. How do I wire it with an event, programmatically?
(please feel free to refer me to a doc page, I haven't been able to find this...)
Thanks.
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(20.0, 68.0, 280.0, 31.0);
UITextField *aTextField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
aTextField.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
aTextField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;
aTextField.autocapitalizationType = UITextAutocapitalizationTypeWords;
aTextField.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeNamePhonePad;
aTextField.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDone;
[self.view addSubview:aTextField];

Are you referring to the view I'm subviewing the control to?
And I'm not using a delegate at the moment, nor am I sure about their role. The doc defines a delegate pretty generally, as a class performing work for another class.
I take that back, maybe I need more help than a help search keyword. Maybe a line or two of code...
I'm familiar with the supported events for my new programmatic UITextField, I'm just not sure how to trap any.

How can one use Mission Control with two monitors? Please bring Spaces back

How can one use Mission Control with two monitors. With Spaces I could treat each space as a single desktop.
SyBB

I use two monitors at work and have no issue. I have my mail set to use Desktop 1 and iTunes set to the second monitor of Desktop 1. I have browsers set to Desktop 2 and Fusion and RDC set to Desktop 3.
Two things that may help you. In System Preferences > Mission Control, disable the setting "Automatically rearrange spaces...". This screwed with assigning applications to certain spaces. And the other thing is don't use full screen on apps that support it. This just makes your second monitor superfluous.

Can I use, and how can I use voice control with my iPad 2?

Is it possible to use the voice control with my iPad 2? If so, how can I use it? Since there is no siri for iPad yet, I'd like to use something similar to it and I've seen this built in voice control before but I was not sure if it's possible with the iPad.

Not yet, however you can download the new google app. This offers voice seeking on the net.

How can i distinguish two controls with the same name?

I'm recording automated tests with VS 2012 Coded Ui Test for testing a web application.
In that web application it is possible to enter data in something looking like a list.
There is - per example - an Edit control sitting on a ColumnHeader with the name/text "Description".
Below that header is another Edit control for data input - containing the text "Description" too and which lies on a Cell control.
When i playback my recording, Coded UI Test looks for a control with the name "Description" and gets the one, it finds at first.
In that case the Edit on the ColumnHeader, which causes an exception, when the Text will be setted with the data input from the recording.
Unfortunately the controls have no ID.
Is there a way to distinguish controls with the same name?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Patrick Pirzer,
>>Is there a way to distinguish controls with the same name?
Based on the blog "How does “Coded UI test” finds a control ??", we know that to really find a control, it would be related to the unique properties as the search properties,
so if two controls have the same property, please use other unique property as the search property would be better.

How to create the composite control with textinput,button and grid.

I have created the application having two Textinput and three button and a DataGrid.
1. on click of first button next to "select a value" , a DataGrid will be open.
and i am using all the functionality of DataGrid.
2. now by using all of these control i have required to create single composite control.
plz help me how to create this composite control.

Right click the graph and select Create>Property Node. On the diagram, find the property node, right click it and first select Change All to Write. Right click again and if you select Properties, you will see a list of all the available properties for the graph. The properties you want are XScale.Minimum, XScale.Maximum, XScale.Increment, YScale.Minimum, YScaleMaximum, and YScale.Increment. You can grow the single property node to have as many properties that you want. Once you have all the properties created, create front panel controls and wire them to the property node. See the attached picture.

XML FORM - How to save read-only controls with a default value

Hello everybody,
I have a 3 xml forms, each one to create one type of news. I need to use 3 because each of this forms has their own controls. But the control which indicates the type of news (asociated with a KM Predefined Property) must be common in the 3 forms, in order to use it on searches.
The question is, how can I include in this forms a control:
- Visible for the user
- With a default value defined in the control properties (each form has a different value, corresponding with the type of news)
- Read-only mode
- The value showed in the control must be saved in the associated KM Predefined Property when the user clicks the Save button.
Anyone knows how to do this?
What control can I use?
I was thinking of trying with text boxes, but I don't find the way to make them unwritable (Read only mode).
It is posible using labels?
Thanks.
Kind regards

Hello Jose,
I know you responded with a question... I see it in the email, but I don't see it here! Very odd... but in response:
The first thing I do when I open the Edit.xsl file is do a 'find' for the name of the text field that I want to be read-only (in my test case, it's 'location'). Repeat the find until you see something like:
[code][/code]
Below there is where I put the new code. Mine looks like this:
[code]- <xsl:choose>
- <xsl:when test="location='' and ($editmode='create')">
- <xsl:choose>
- <xsl:when test="./xf:ValidationError/@tagname='location'">
- <input name="location" size="30" type="text" class="urEdfiTxtEnbl" id="field_1157467268006">
- <xsl:attribute name="tabindex">
- <xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$accessibilitymode='true'">21</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>3792</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
- <xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="''" />
</xsl:attribute>
- <xsl:attribute name="readonly">true</xsl:attribute>
</input>
</xsl:when>
- <xsl:otherwise>
- <input name="location" size="30" type="text" tabindex="3792" class="urEdfTxtEnbl" id="field_1157467268006">
- <xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="''" />
</xsl:attribute>
- <xsl:attribute name="readonly">true</xsl:attribute>
</input>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>[/code]
I put the <xsl:attribute name="readonly"> in both places (when test, and when not test). I'm not entirely sure if that's necessary, but that worked for me.
Hope this helps,
Fallon

Strange behavior of stop control with events

I have found some strange behavior while using stop controls. I have a main vi which has two while loops. One of them is used to continuosly acquire the images. The other while loop has event structure that has several booleans which trigger different events. Both the while loops are operated using the same stop. My problem is this. None of the events get triggered when I press the buttons for them. However if I keep the stop value true( which stops the acquisition) and then click the event buttons all of them work fine. so every time I want an event to run I first change this stop value to true and then press the button for the event to fire. I want to know what is causing this? Why is th stop button influencing the behavior
of other events?

If your while loops are completely independent then it whould work. I've attached a simple example in LabVIEW 6.1 that shows a while loop with an event structure and another running continuously. A single stop button stops both but until then, the event structure will respond to clicking on two other Booleans in the VI.

How can I add logic control with timeout in OSB?

In the proxy service, when I try to call business service, the business service may timeout, how can I add logic with this? Like, I can set the timeout to 20 seconds, if more than 20 seconds, then do something else. But I just want this service can set to 20 seconds, others may different. Is that possible? Thanks.

There is a Read Timeout and Connection Timeout setting in the Business service configuration.

How to turn off voice control with iPhone 5s with iOS 8

I Dropped my phone in the tub, I have an otterbox on it but it didn't do the phone any good :/. I dried it off and the home button started acting up. And now it doesnt work when i hit it. But the Touch ID still works. However randomly voice control will pop up and call random people when i don't even touch it. I tried going into restrictions > Siri and turning it off I turned off voice

Otterbox cases are not waterproof and are not advertised to be so. For that, you need a Lifeproof case or similar.
If you turn off Siri, Voice Control is enabled. The only way to turn off Voice Control is to turn Siri back on. Your phone has been damaged by immersion in liquid and may never work properly again. Sorry.

How do I apply programmatic skins for completely custom drawn components of a Flex library project?

Hello folks,
I am looking for best practices advice when (1) creating
custom components and (2) styling and skinning.
I already know how to skin a component part of the Flex
framework. I can make a class extending ProgrammaticSkin and have
my component skinned using CSS to link the component with the
reference to my custom class.
However what about those cases when you are completely
creating a component from scratch?
Imagine a "Freehand Drawing Canvas" component that allows the
user to draw on it and has some buttons to set color styles, line
styles, etc., or imagine a "Screen Flow Gallery" component that
displays visual objects in a fashion similar to Cover Flow in the
Mac.
In many components I am aware you may reuse other components
part of the Flex framework but I am trying to picture an scenario
where you would need to draw everything yourself because there just
isn't something to base it upon so you will end up drawing it from
scratch.
To learn how instead of building one of those components I
mentioned previously I decided to start with something simple that
would illustrate this like a LiteButton component that will behave
just like the Flex mx.controls.Button but will extend UIComponent
and be completely custom drawn.
The component will have a default look and will also be
style-able and skin-able. I will provide styles for users of the
component to modify and regarding skinning anyone can create a
custom ProgrammaticSkin adding its own drawing logic and link it to
the component via CSS with the ClassReference applied to the skin
selector.
So far so good and it's clear what I want to achieve. I
actually know how to do most of the stuff here but I have one
single problem.
Here is my question, where should I put my custom drawing
logic? If I do it in the updateDisplayList inside the class
extending UIComponent it works, however I thought that it would be
a better practice to do it using programmatic skins, that way I
could provide different skin themes for my component set.
The problem is that I can't make the programmatic work in
this scenario. I tried instantiating the custom programmatic skin
during the updateDisplayList of the LiteButton component and adding
it to my display object via addChild but that didn't do anything. I
also tried creating a "default.css" stylesheet and tried to use
ClassReference as I would normally do to skin an already existing
component (or composite component as well) but that didn't do
anything either.
So how do I apply programmatic skins for completely custom
drawn components of my Flex library project?
I could do it inside the updateDisplayList of the LiteButton
class extending UIComponent but again I would like to provide
different theme sets for my components so it makes sense using
programmatic skins.

These aren't mutually exclusive. When you provide a skin with
a
TypeSelector, you have to add it to the display list
somewhere, and this is
typically done in updateDisplayList or addChildren. I prefer
to do it in
updateDisplayList, because you can then change it if the
style changes.

I've never had any problem using an approach similar to
this...but I will
say that I couldn't see any advantage in creating a
default.css style sheet,
since it's not really default in the way that the one that
comes with Flex
is. It's much more obvious to anyone using your component
what's going on
there if you create a style sheet where they're likely to
spot it.

It seems like your approach is fine, but maybe you've made a
mistake in your
implementation.

You might want to consider also adding an instance of
HaloBorder to your
component. That brings a lot of functionality with it.

Windows Phone - Cannot bind custom user controll with listview item source property

It is Windows Phone 8.1 (runtime)
I have some problem of binding custom user controll with list of data. I'll make it simple as I can.
My problem is that somehow if I use DataBind {Binding Something} inside my custom controll it will not work.
I need to transfer binded data (string) to custom controll.
It is strange that if I do not use DataBind, it will work normally. Eg MyCustomControllParameter = "some string" (in my example 'BindingTextValue' property)
Does anyone Know how to bind custom user controll with inside ListView with DataTemplate.
Assume this:
XAML Test-Main page
<Grid Background="Black">        <ListView x:Name="TestList" Background="#FFEAEAEA">                    <ListView.ItemTemplate>                <DataTemplate>                    <Grid Background="#FF727272">                        <local:TextBoxS BindingTextValue="{Binding Tag, FallbackValue='aSource'}" local:TextBoxS>                    </Grid>                </DataTemplate>            </ListView.ItemTemplate>        </ListView>    </Grid>
XAML Test-Main page c#
public sealed partial class MainPage : Page    {        List<TTag> tags = new List<TTag>();        public MainPage()        {            this.InitializeComponent();            this.NavigationCacheMode = NavigationCacheMode.Required;        }        public class TTag        {            public string Tag { get; set; }        }        private void InitializeAppData()        {            TTag tag = new TTag() { Tag = "hello world" };            tags.Add(tag);            tags.Add(tag);            tags.Add(tag);            TestList.ItemsSource = tags;        }             protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)        {            InitializeAppData();        }           }

Thanks for helping ;)

If you use a built-in control rather than your custom control, does binding work? You should verify that first.

Resizing controls with custom skin

Hi,
Can someone tell me how to make a spark control with a custom skin made in Catalyst to behave like a standard unskinned control when resized in design view of Flash Builder or during runtime? In other words I want it to behave like it's 9-sliced. For example, I've made a simple and ugly rounded skin for TextInput in Catalyst like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Skin xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009">
     <fx:Metadata>[HostComponent("spark.components.TextInput")]</fx:Metadata>
     <s:states>
          <s:State name="normal"/>
          <s:State name="disabled"/>
     </s:states>
     <s:Group x="0" y="0">
          <s:Rect height="31" radiusX="5" width="182" x="0.5" y="0.5">
               <s:stroke>
                    <s:SolidColorStroke caps="none" color="#000000" joints="miter" miterLimit="4" weight="1"/>
               </s:stroke>
               <s:fill>
                    <s:SolidColor color="#FF90CD"/>
               </s:fill>
          </s:Rect>
          <s:RichEditableText color="#2B4381" fontFamily="Arial" fontSize="12" tabStops="S0 S50 S100" x="11" y="11" width="161" heightInLines="1" id="textDisplay"/>
     </s:Group>
</s:Skin>
How to do that in this example?
I have searched everywhere on the net, and in a 1000 page book I have about Flash Builder and Flex and couldn't find even a single example. And I need this if I want to make something like resizable web form with a resize grip or resizable options panel.
Thanks in advance,
Petar

I've got an answer but on other forum. Here is link if someone finds answer to this question useful: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3299385/resizing-flex-spark-control-with-a-custom-skin

Replace VBX Control with Java Bean

Hi All,
While compiling 6i forms in 10g I got this error of VBX Control (Obsolete)
The document says replace it with JavaBeans.
I don’t know how to replace a VBS Control with Java Bean but this is what I did, I selected the item type as Bean Area.
But the item do have a trigger
begin
control_lib.when_tab_changed(:control.tab_ctl)
end
The Package CONTROL_LIB is coded as below.
Will this code work, technically I think yes, but its always better to ask experts before I move this to test...
package body control_lib is
g_tab_id number := 0
procedure when_tab_changed
(p_tab_id number) is
l_err_txt varchar2(255);
begin
if :system.block_status != 'QUERY' then
if not good_quiet_post(l_err_txt) then
raise form_trigger_failure;
end if
end if
if p_tab_id = 0 then
rpt_ln_lib.new_tab;
elsif p_tab_id = 1 then
stat_lib.new_tab;
elsif p_tab_id = 2 then
per_acc_rl_lib.new_tab;
end if
g_tab_id := p_tab_id
exception
when form_trigger_failure then
:control.tab_ctl := g_tab_id
synchronize
end when_tab_changed
Thanks to all.

A Java bean is another technology than VBX control.
If some document says: Replace it with java bean it certainly means to use a similar java bean with a similar functionality.
I do not know a java bean, which runs VBX controls.
So you surely have to look at what yout VBX does an than to look after a proper java bean (or to write an own one).
