INline custom editor for spark column

Here is quick column definition:
<s:GridColumn dataField="label1" headerText="Order #" editable="true">
                    <s:itemEditor>
                        <fx:Component>
                            <s:GridItemEditor>
                                <s:TextArea/>
                            </s:GridItemEditor>
                        </fx:Component>
                    </s:itemEditor>
                </s:GridColumn>
It will fail at the run time:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Am I doing it wrong?

Yes. Unlike MX, Spark Controls don’t carry the weight of also being drop-in item renderers and editors. You will need to build up your editor based on the GridItemEditor class.

Can't add numbers greater than 100 in the Data Editor for a column chart

I'm trying to create a column chart in Keynote '09 but every time I add a data point with a value greater than 100 in the Data Editor it turns the number into a date. I have the Y Axis set to "Number" and it works fine for numbers less than 100 but I want to show a graph that goes from 0 - 1000. Is this happening to anyone else?
Chart Settings:
Y Axis Options:
- Max = 1000
- Steps = 5
- Format = Number
X Axis Options
- Show Axis
- Show Categories
- No Tick Marks
thanks in advance for the help

Welcome to the discussions, AlexEberts.
No, it's not happening for me. This is what I'm doing
1) Insert -> Chart -> Column
2) In the Data editor, for 2007, I enter 110.
The chart automatically expands to 110 (because, by default, it's set to autosize the Y-axis)
Does this work for you? If it does, then we can look at why it doesn't work when you add parameters.

Dreamweaver as custom editor for other file extensions

So, I'm working on a project that requires me to work on some
files with non-standard extensions. Namely, I have some text files
that have a .cm extension, and I have some code files which have no
extension at all. I am connecting to my file store via an FTP
"site" set up in Dreamweaver.
Under preferences->filetypes/editors, I set up ". .cm" for
those two cases, and had selected "Dreamweaver" as the primary
editor.
The files open just fine, and I'm able to edit and save them,
and when I do, the files get "PUT" back up to the FTP server as I
want. However, what I've noticed is that the first time I edit one
of those types of files, and save it, now, from then on in that
session of Dreamweaver, any time I de-focus the window and then
come back to it, the IDE initiates another PUT action of the files
in question, even if the files are unchanged.
However, if I go back into preferences, and remove the
"Dreamweaver" as the primary editor for those two extensions, and
leave that list blank, Dreamweaver still is able to open up the
files as I want, but this weirdness with FTP putting and the
window-focus goes away.
Anyone have any idea why?

This TechNote explains how to add file extensions to be
recognized by DW.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16410
Unfortunately, DW does not handle file with no file extension
very well.

Create custom scrollbar for Spark Datagrid

I had a custom scroll bar for a MX datagrid. But recently I got the new Flash Builder 4.5 and it said to use the Spark Datagrid component instead. So I changed everything to Spark, but now I can't find any info on customizing the scroll bar. Is this possible? Should I go back to mx?
According to the documentation in Flash Builder:
"The Spark DataGrid control provides the following features:
- Custom skins to control all aspects of the appearance of the DataGrid control"
So I'm hoping it's possible but I can't find any info either way.

Thanks. I'm not sure exactly how I did it, but I started with this document in Flash Builder Help:
"Setting a custom horizontal scroll bar skin on a Spark List control in Flex 4"
I copied the code and changed "s|List" to "s|Datagrid", modified it accordingly for a vertical scroll bar, and I deleted references to "base color" so that it would compile. Then, I copied in VScrollBarTrackSkin.mxml and VScrollBarThumbSkin.mxml from the Flash Builder directory: Adobe Flash Builder 4.5\sdks\4.5.1\samples\themes\zen\src\zen\skins. And I removed the references to the swf files so that it would compile. Then I embedded my own png images, e.g.: source.up="@Embed(source='/images/thumb.png')". And I got a scrollbar!
Only problem is the example does not have up and down controls. But I figured this out from looking at the zen skins (VScrollBarSkin / HScrollBarSkin) and copying in the code for the up and down buttons as well. Now it's working pretty good.
[I did not use any of the Flash Builder wizards/GUI to create the skins or files. I just created the files individually (as in File - New - File). Perhaps there's a better way to do it, but this worked for me.]
I'm not sure why you suggested looking at "ScrollerSkin". This didn't lead me anywhere, though perhaps I was not clear in my question. But I greatly appreciate your answer, for saying that this is possible, otherwise I would have given up!

Strange behavior in JTable using JFileChooser as custom editor

I have an application that I am working on that uses a JFileChooser (customized to select images) as a custom editor for a JTable. The filechooser correctly comes up when I click (single click) on a cell in the table. I can use the filechooser to select an image. When I click on the OPEN button on the filechooser, the cell then displays the editor class name.
I have added prints to the editor methods and have determined that editing is stopped before the JTable adds the listener. I have looked at the code and have searched doc for examples but have not found what I am doing wrong. Can anyone help?
I configured the table editor as follows:
//Set up the editor for the Image cells.
private void setUpPictureEditor(JTable table) {
table.setDefaultEditor(String.class, new PictureChooser());
Below is the code for the JTable editor that I am using:

JDev Extensions: Register only a particular XML file with custom Editor?

Hi Guys,
I have extended the Editor class and created my own Editor - MyCustomEditor. Below is the part of 'extension.xml', where I am registering any XML document with this editor.
<editors xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/ide/extension">

<editor id="myCustomEditor.design"
label="My Design"
editor-class="oracle.xxx.xxx.MyCustomEditor" >
<node-type class="oracle.bali.xml.addin.XMLSourceNode" />
</editor>
</editors>
But my actual requirement is to register my custom (design) editor to a particular XML file which has a fixed name, lets say MyApplicationFile.xml. I don't want this Custom Editor for any other XML document. How can I achieve this?
Thanks,
Rajesh.

No JDev version??
Here is what you can try.
1. Subclass XMLSourceNode to CustomXMLSourceNode. Mention this class in editor tag.
2. In addition to <editor> you may need to have <xml-recognizer> along with <include-filenames>MyApplicationFile.xml</include-filenames>.

Property editor for non bean components

All
My Requirement:
I had just started to develop an IDE for java, if i click on the component for eg,, a button in the frame i should get all the properties of that component. Is there anyway i could do this thru the PropertyEditor object.
Any other suggestions????
Tx in advance
Arul

First I suggest you bone up on the JavaBeans specification... know it well.
Next I think you'll conclude that you'll need to build your own PropertyEditors for all the common types. Along with custom editors for complex types e.g., Font.
Also I think you'll notice that the JavaBeans component model is severely lacking regarding property exposure; a competent property inspector will have to embellish on the JavaBeans model.
Good luck.

JTable with custom cell for folding and unfolding rows

Hi,
I am trying to implement a JTable, whereas one of the columns is a custom component, which has a small + in the right upper corner.
When you push this + the JTable should unfold other rows, giving more detail on the current row.
So something like this :
|--------------------------------|
| <some-string> + |
|--------------------------------|Drawing this custom component for the column is no problem but I am having trouble implementing the MouseMotionListener events over this.
If I add a mouseMotionListener to the JTable, I am able to forward these events to my custom class which draws this custom component.
But off course the X and Y coordinates of this MouseEvent are not mapped into the grid of my custom component, which poses my question.
How can I attach to each cell of this custom column of my JTable, a listener as to implement some mouseover and mouseclick stuff ?
In case this post is not all that clear, I will try to add a demo showing my problem.
Kind regards,
Wim.

You're reinventing a wheel that's been done a few times. One example is JTreeTable (http://community.java.net/javadesktop/) but there are others.

How remove saved system-wide default for a column

yesterday I saved a system-wide default for a column with a custom column heading and data format.
now, when I drag this column in a new analysis, obiee shows no column heading.
I've tried to save my custom default again or reset to column-default but with no results: the column heading is still empty.
How can I fix this problem?
thanks
Luc

Hello,
What OBI version are you using?
Enter some other custom name for the column (e.g. same as default one) and save it as system-wide. I guess, you have already tried, but...
1. Stop Presentation Services.
2. Go under web catalog in the file system and locate folder \root\system\metadata. This folder contains files storing subject area attributes, including system-wide settings. I the folder find 2 files named similar as the subject area which column you have modified (name will be in lowercase, spaces replaced with +). For example, for "SA System" subject area these files are named as "sa+system" and "sa+system.atr".
3. Backup these 2 files you have found (better whole presentation catalog).
4. Try one of the options:
Option 1: If you have another version of these files (in the backup or other environments) - try to replace them. There is a risk you will loose some other column settings (or inherit new).
Option 2: Modify the file without extension (it contains XML code inside): locate the string similar to your column name. Remove whole section ONLY for the column you have found between tags <sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormat and </sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormat>.
Below is sample code for column originally named as "Pager" under "User" folder in "SA System" subject area.
<sawsavedformat:metadata xmlns:sawsavedformat="com.siebel.analytics.web/savedformat/v1.1">
<sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormats>
<sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormat xmlns:saw="com.siebel.analytics.web/report/v1.1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="sawsavedformat:regularColumnSavedFormat" columnName=""SA System"."User"."Pager"">
   <saw:displayFormat><saw:formatSpec suppress="suppress" wrapText="true" hAlign="left" vAlign="top"/></saw:displayFormat>
   <saw:tableHeading><saw:caption fmt="text"><saw:text>User</saw:text></saw:caption><saw:displayFormat/></saw:tableHeading>
   <saw:columnHeading><saw:displayFormat><saw:formatSpec/></saw:displayFormat><saw:caption fmt="text"><saw:text>Pager New</saw:text></saw:caption></saw:columnHeading>
</sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormat>
</sawsavedformat:columnSavedFormats>
</sawsavedformat:metadata>
Option 3: Just remove these 2 files. Naturally, you will loose all the settings, not only one you like to get rid off.
5. Restart presentation services.
Hope, this helps.

Custom Editor: get c++ LanguageService

Hi,
I'm currently creating a custom editor for Visual Studio.
Does somebody know how to get the registered c++ language service and use it for parse c++ and create my own syntactic coloration ?
Thank you in advance
Axel Payan

Hi Axel,
Please take a look at this thread, it's for Visual C# language, but should give you some ideas about how to utilize the built-in C++ language service for your custom editor:

Custom UI or editor for input-parameter

I think I need to implement a custom UI editor for an input-paramenter. My input parameter is really a HashTable. I'd like to present a dialog that allows the user to enter any number of key value pairs. The optional "editor" element looks promising because it allows you to specify a ui-component. I have searched and searched for sample code, but haven't found any. Would some kind soul please point me to a resource that shows how to implement such as custom UI (whether it involves the "editor" element or not)?
Here's a link to the ui-component element in the reference:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/programLC/programmer/help/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/w whelp.htm?href=000959.html#1548965&accessible=true
Thanks,
Halynn

I appreciate the reply.
I was actually trying to point to another page, although that page may be applicable. Apparently the URL in my browser window was not sufficient to recreate my state in livedocs. I was looking at the reference for component.xml, specifically where it describes an optional <editor> element of <input-parameter>. This <editor> component also has a child called <ui-component>. I haven't found any sample code that uses these two elements.
I need to call my component with a Map or Hashtable (an arbitrary set of Key/Value String pairs). This Map needs to be easily configurable in LiveCycle Workbench. I've seen numerous operations that popup dialogs for input-parameters and serialize their data. I was thinking that I will have to implement my own dialog.
It sounds like you are suggesting I can achieve this with a variable and the set value service. I don't quite understand. How would I insert the string pairs?
Thanks,
Halynn

ALT+Up keys,but how to make drop down list appear.
Plz help,it's urgent.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
In addition to setting DO_SUM = 'X' you need to specify function in H_FTYPE field. It should be set to 'AVG' in your case.
ls_fielcat-do_sum = 'X'.
ls_fieldcat-h_ftype = 'AVG.
