Lightswitch - Person Picker dialog not showing name, instead shows person id sometimes

I have a simple add user screen with Email, o365username, UserListProp and name fields. I am grabing Email and o365username from UserListProp change event. UserListProp is the Screen property from UserInformationList datasource. And i have unchecked the
"Is Searchable" property of the user information list for my purpose.
So here is the problem, When i click "+" sign to grab user from the UserListProp dialog, Sometimes it shows personid and sometimes the name of the user.
Say, for me it's, Nirav Maisuriya or [email protected]
Please help.
I do't know if it's a known issue or lightswitch bug or some error or the network traffic.
Please guide me through. Need reply from Lightswitch Team if possible.
Thanks,
Nirav

Hi,
You could try to use add or edit dialog to achieve this, this is pretty simple to do this with add and edit screen.
You could check your operation steps following blog below:

People Picker column not displaying name in list view

I have a strange thing going on in list views. If I create a default view with a people picker column, it does not show the name - it appears to be blank (like below);
If I then alter the view and make the style "Shaded" the user name appears (like below);
It also seems to be an issue when looking at a Workflow process or survey results.. Can anybody explain to me why this is happening and how to resolve the issue?

Hi,
As I understand, the issue occurs to All task view in task list, assigned to column not showing while it could be filtered.
I’d recommend you create a new view with needed column including assigned to column, and make it default.
Here is a similar thread, please check if it helps:

Crystal Parameter Hierarchy Pick List not showing in Infoview

Hello,
We are having an issue with crystal reports not showing the hierarchy pick list in infoview.
We have 3 environments, Dev, QA, Prod.
Business Objects environments consist of 3 separate servers
Dev
Windows Server 2003 64bit
BOXI 3.1 with Service Pack 2
Integration Kit 3.1 with SP2
Crystal Reports V1 SP2
QA
Windows Server 2003 64bit
BOXI 3.1 with Service Pack 2
Integration Kit 3.1 with SP2

SAP BW Environments consist of 2 server landscapes, with DEV / QA sitting on 1 and production on its own.
ServerA
Dev and QA
ServerB
Prod
We create a crystal report in Dev BOBJ, and publish to DEV SAP BW system sitting on ServerA.
The picklist shows hierarchy properly in Dev Infoview.
We then LCM the report to QA BOBJ, and Do Not publish to QA SAP BW system sitting on ServerA.
We transport the role that the report was published to, from Dev SAP BW to QA SAP BW
The picklist shows hierarchy properly in QA Infoview.
We then LCM the report to PROD BOBJ, and Do Not publish to PROD SAP BW system sitting on ServerB.
We transport the role from QA SAP BW to Prod SAP BW
The picklist does NOT show hierarchy properly in Prod Infoview.
We are a bit confused on why the picklist works properly on QA Infoview without publishing, but will not work on Production Infoview.
Is it because the repository objects for the picklist contain some server paths? (Since DEV and QA sit on the same server "ServerA")
Do we need to publish in production SAP BW for the hierarchy pick list to function?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks!
Nick

Hi Nick,
Did you get this resolved? We are encountering the same issue. We have migrated our report from QA to Prod using BW Transport and then used BW Publisher to publish to BOE. The parameter list shows in InfoView for Dev and QA, but not Prod.
We're using BOE SP2 FP 2.8

Download file in struts - File save dialog not showing up

Hi,
The issue i have is - the file save dialog box which should be displayed on file download is not showing up.
I have a DAO being called from the Action form SaveDocumentAction which extends DispatchAction and has a download(mapping, request, response,..) method. Below are relevant portions of my code.
public void showDocument(DocumentTO Doc, HttpServletResponse response){
//get filename etc
response.setContentType("application/x-download");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=myFile.txt");
OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
//code for writing from input file to out
I shld be getting a File Save dialog after response.setHeader(), but I am not. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong. I have printed SOPs and all print fine, even the file writing part.

Put this code into a servlet rather than a JSP.
JSP are for returning text based HTML pages. It adds extra carriage returns into the response that will corrupt the file, and prevent the dialog showing up.
This code is much better off being in a servlet
If you are using a FileInputStream, you should be using a ServletOutputStream rather than the JSP writer: response.getOutputStream()
When dealing with file input in a JSP/Servlet you should use the methods of ServletContext. getRealPath() turns a website relative file into a real location on disk. getResourceAsStream() opens the file for you. getResourceAsStream() is more reliable as it will work even if the web app is deployed in a packed WAR.

Date picker css not showing in web form

Hi there, I have a web form and added the date picker.
When you try this within BC admin it displays very nicely, yet when Ive inserted the webform in the html page,
the css styling for the date picker is not included.
Can anyone help me here so that I can add the css to style the calendar to look a bit prettier!
The source code of the datepicker:
        <label for="CAT_Custom_95263">Date of last vaccination</label>
        <br /><input type="text" name="CAT_Custom_95263" id="CAT_Custom_95263" class="cat_textbox" readonly="readonly" style="background-color:#F0F0F0;" onfocus="displayDatePicker('CAT_Custom_95263');return false;" />

Hello VickiTuch,
The date picker, once loaded, will get a bunch of inline styles applied to it from BC. This can override your CSS if you are not specific enough. If you give your declarations an important:
#datepicker{
    background-color: #333 !important;
Should override their inline styles.
Hope this helps,

PSA Edit Dialog - Not showing all the columns

Hi All,
I need to edit the transaction data for 2LIS_13_VDITM in PSA. when I go to display the PSA data it shows few selected fields in the initial display not all coming in the data source.
In Order to get that field in Data Display, I change the display variant and bring the field in the data display .
Now, When I try to edit that record the the Edit Dialog Pop Up does not show me all the columns which are there in the Data Display. I checked in the display Selection Tab, the field list over there also does not contain this field.
However, I am able to edit data for all other Data Sources.
Has someone ever faced this kind of strange thing. We were on support pack 18 and migrated to BW 3.1 support pack 20. I was able to edit data in PSA for this data source earlier. Can it be a support Pack Problem ?
Requesting for your valuable suggestions on this!!!
Regards
Deepak

Hi All,
The below problem occured due to Support Pack upgrade.
If you are upgrading Basis Support pack from 47 to 48, you might face this kind of problem.

Swing Dialog not Showing Content

Hello,
I am currently developing code for a complex GUI system and I am experiencing a big problem
when I try to popup JDialogs. I have a JProgressBar inside a JDialog that pops up when our
system is doing work. The JDialog pops up but I cannot see the JProgressBar inside the dialog.
(I also tried to just add a JLabel to the dialog but that doesnt show up either.) When I run my progress
dialog "stand-alone" I can see the progress bar fine.
The code for my progress dialog even creates its own thread when it runs so I am pretty sure that
its not blocking inside my own code.
This leads me to believe that somewhere in our GUI code we have somehow "blocked" some critical
AWT (or Swing?) thread and it cannot update the contents of the JDialog.
Does anyone have an idea as to what could be going on here or how I might find out? I have tried using
JProbe and Optimizeit Thread profiling tools but they have not really been much help.
Thanks!

Hi Michelle!
I tried out your code: besides the GUIUtilities class, whose reference I commented out, the program ran perfectly. I got a JProgressBar, with the text in the middle, and the indeterminate bar floating across...
What version of Java are you using?

Javax.swing.ProgressMonitor-dialog not showing properly

Hi @all,
I've got a little prob using ProgressMonitor. I'm coding an Applet which loads some images. Since this task may take a while, I'm trying to use ProgressMonitor to show a dialog window with the corresponding progressbar to indicate how much work's done already.
My code looks like this:
// Image[] images has been filled before.
// mt is a MediaTracker which surveys the loading.
ProgressMonitor pm = new ProgressMonitor(
null,
"Loading images",
0,
images.length - 1
for (int i = 0; i < images.length; i++) {
pm.setProgress(i);
pm.setNote(images[ i ].toString());
// actual image loaded?
while (!mt.checkID(i, true)) {
// if not wait:
Thread.sleep(10);
if (mt.checkAll() && !pm.isCanceled() && !mt.isErrorAny()) {
pm.close();
// everything successfully loadedThe loading of the images works fine. My only prob is with the ProgressMonitor which starts showing after the default time (might be one second) - but the frame it shows is corrupt. You can see the outlines of it, but none of the contents is displayed - not to talk of the progressbar. Simply nothing.
Did anyone encounter this prob as well and has some ideas what's wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Dialog not showing

Hey guys i really need urgent help.
I have a JDialog called dlg and what happen is i add a menu bar called menubar during runtime to this JDialog.
to add menubar during runtime i use
dlg.setJMenuBar(menubar);
dlg.setSize(dlg.getPreferredSize());
dlg.validate();
dlg.repaint();what happen is it only display the dialog with grey window only.it doesnt show up the contents.
i used dlg.pack() before but it still not working.
i believe the addition of the menu bar is working because i can see the grey window is changing height but it just dont want to display all the components.
do you know what could be the problem? and suggestion? code sample will be helpful.

oh sorry ... i get what you mean by using show () now .. but it is still not working ...
do you have any more suggestion??
i guess i should tell you this to, on some window my method work perfectly but in other window its not. so its not really consistent.
is it possible because theres a conflict or something? if it is then could you tell me what are the conflict that can cause this code is not working?
thank you

Only in my FF browser do the pick boxes not show

The boxes that you that you click on for what you want to do are only showing up in script form. This only happens in the FF browser, not IE or Chrome. The only way I can see what the boxes are for is to hoover over them.

Why does the search dialog not show up for inputListOfValues?

I am using JDEVADF_11.1.1.5.0_GENERIC_110409.0025.6013
I have an LOV defined that works correctly in the Application Module Tester but does not appear to work correctly within a column of a table.
I have defined the inputListOfValues as follows within a column of a table
<af:inputListOfValues id="valueOneProductIntegrationIdId"
searchDesc="Search Product"
popupTitle="Search and Select: Product"
model="#{row.bindings.ValueOneProductIntegrationId.listOfValuesModel}"
simple="true">
The control shows up with the search icon in the appropriate column of the table when I add a new row, but when I click on the the search icon, it does not bring up the Search and Select panel. It looks like it is trying to do something, but it is just ends up redrawing table.
Any clue about how I might figure out what is going on here or what I am missing?
Thanks, -Klaus

Find and replace dialog not showing correct

After updating to Keynote 5.1 the Find dialog - Simple as well as Advanced - only shows a little more than two centimeters vertically from the top leaving the Replace field unaccessible.
Any one else seing this?
How can I get it right?
It looks - and works - alright in Pages 4.1.
best

Solved! It is the Danish localization that is the culprit.
Replacing BGFindPanel.nib in da.lproj with BGFindPanel.nib from English.lproj the Find dialog displays correctly.
And I can live with that the dialog is in English :-)

ADF Popup Dialog Not Showing Working

I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3 and ADF. I have been unable to get a dialog popup working. When I click on a commandLink in the Originating page, it only refreshes the Originating page and does not open the destination page at all. It's happening in both FF and IE.
Within the faces-config.xml I created a navigational rule with outcome that begins with dialog.
Extracted sample from faces-config.xml:
*<navigation-rule>*
*<from-view-id>/Originate.jspx</from-view-id>*
*<navigation-case>*
*<from-outcome>dialog:dest</from-outcome>*
*<to-view-id>/Destination.jspx</to-view-id>*
*</navigation-case>*
*</navigation-rule>*
The commandLink action attribute begins with dialog: and useWindow attribute is true.
Extracted sample from JSP document:
*<af:commandLink text="Go to Destination" action="'dialog:dest'"*
useWindow="true" windowHeight="250" windowWidth="300"
partialSubmit="true" id="originate"/>
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

It seems like the dialog:popUp does not work if it is not nested within
<afh:html>
<afh:body>
<af:form>
<af:commandLink action="dialog:popUp"/>
</af:form>
</afh:body>
</afh:html>
I currently have it this way
<html>
<body>
<h:form>
<af:commandLink action="dialog:popUp"/>
</h:form>
</body>
</html>
P.S.
The former way works but it messes up page layout. It seems not to notice DIVs and image positioning.
Any clues as to why?

Save As Dialog Not Showing when opening pdf from Outlook 2010

Hi
I have recently had to change the default documents folder on a windows 7 machine (Right Click Documents, properties, include folder, set save location). Since this change, when opening an attached pdf document in outlook 2010 and viewing with adobe reader, if i click Save as from the file menu, no os dialog appears and therefore user cannot choose a place to save the document.
As a work around the user can right click the attachment save the docment to a location, once opened, ther save as dialog is usable.
I have uninstalled and re-installed reader to the laterst version, but with no luck.
Any ideas?
Jason Congerton

This looks like a new behavior of Outlook 2010 and isn't specific to PDFs. You will need to "save as" the document. There is a thread at Microsoft forums about this with some possible workarounds:

Save as dialog not showing files on a AFP share in CS2

I have a user who is not able to see any files or folders on an AFP share (SFM on Windows 2003) when attempting to Save As. The files are visible in the finder, terminal, it is not a permissions issue, and I have trashed permissions. Any ideas? Are there hidden files on the share that need to be trashed?
