selected item of dropDownSelectTree disappeared when create button in TabbedForm(React admin) change - reactjs

I am working with react admin and I am using TabbedForm to add data, the problem is that when I select item from dropDownSelectTree, and then add text to TextInput, the create button change from disable to able and my selected itemed disappeared, I want to know how to keep my selected items when the button change.

This could be a lot of things from incorrect state handling to incorrect props setup. However, without the actual code to check not many people will be able to help you out. So if you may, share your code with us.

setState with radio buttons

Hi every one hope you're doing good,
I'd like to update my state with radio buttons that I generate dynamicaly.
my state is an array of objects, each object contains one question and 2 or more answer options,
each answer option is a radio button and by clicking it it will update one of the properties of the object.
I'm putting a link to get to the code, you'll be able to make changes and test them (but would not be saved)
I'll really appreciate you're help, thanks

clearing a material-UI autocomplete field on the press of a button

I am using material-UI autocomplete for a project that involves rendering a dynamic array based on what you select from the menu. I am finished with the project and now trying to implement multi-select to make choosing things from the menu easier. When you have everything you want from the menu, you click an "Add" button that takes everything you currently have selected and adds it to a table (and adds the properly formatted text into a query on the side, the goal is to build queries for users without them worrying about syntax). When I was not using multiselect, and only adding one thing at a time to the query, I was easily able to clear the autocomplete field by changing the value prop to null. This prevents users from adding the same fields to the query over and over (when add is clicked the options that were added are popped from the list of options). When using multi the rules seem to change and now changing value directly causes an error. My question is, does anyone know of a way to programattically click the x button built in to material-ui autocomplete fields to clear that text field in an event handler? Or is there any reliable way of clearing that on my end?

React, react-select placeholder

I did some research but couldn't find usefull solution.
Is that possible to keep placeholder always visible? I mean when I pick any option it replaces placeholder spot, but I do not want this, the desired expectation is to keep placeholder visible all the time.
If you don't want users to see what they selected, but still track it in your app, you can make use of onChange event to capture what users selected, but still pass value={null} to react-select so it think that nothing is selected - and it will display the placeholder.

Conditional Formatting based on layout view

Another question for you Filemaker Pro experts. The database I am developing starts with a Main layout with a number of buttons (e.g. insert new item, show all items, etc.). Each button is associated to a script, which takes the user to the relevant layout. In each of these layouts I show the buttons in a row, and highlight the current layout with inverse colour.
My problem is that some of the buttons lead to the same layout, viewed in different modes, and I don't know how to conditionally highlight the right button.
For instance, Insert new item and Show all items take to the same layout, however in the first case the script views the layout as a form and inserts a new record, while in the second I view as a list and show all records. The layout is the same, though, so I'd need to enact a conditional formatting based on something. How do I do that, and what should I check against?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards.
Presumably you are currently using the formula: Get (LayoutName) to decide on your conditional formula, why not try additionally using formulas: Get(WindowMode) and Get(LayoutViewState)?
You could conditionally format the button if (which sends user to MyLayout in browse mode):
Get(WindowMode)=0 and Get(LayoutName)="MyLayout"
Or (which sends user to MyLayout in form view):
Get(LayoutViewState)=0 and Get(LayoutName)="MyLayout"
.
Other functions which may help could be Get(FoundCount) and Get(TotalRecordCount). You can see the entire list of Get functions here.

Cannot tab out of databound Winforms dropdown list

This is a bit of a strange one, but I've been struggling for a few hours now and I can't understand what is happening.
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem, and can perhaps explain it. I'm building a simple Winforms app and trying to use many of the built in controls.
Basically, I've got a form with a user control and some data capture fields. 3 of the fields are dropdown lists and on the user control I have a bindingSource control that binds directly to a Product class.
At run time I provide an instance of the Product class to the BindingSource and the class contains a property of ProductType. For simplicity I also added a List<ProductType> ProductTypes to the Product Class which loads itself when queried, which means I can just use the same bindingSource and choose the ProductTypes Data Member as the Datasource for the dropdownlist.
Upon running the form, the list binds perfectly and I can see all the product types listed, and I can select one and tab or click to the next field. But obviously the selected value won't bind because I've not chosen any bindings-SelectedValue for the dropdown, only a datasource. As soon as I make sure that the drop down modifies the instance of the Product by binding to the Bindings-SelectedValue, and then run the form, the list still gets populated perfectly and I can tab through the controls as long as I don't make a selection from the dropdown. If I make a selection from the dropdown then the dropdown holds focus. I cannot tab out for love or money and can't even click cancel button on the form, the close button top right is the only button I can click which works and I can't click any other field or dropdown. This affects all three dropdowns as soon as a selection is made.
Anyone have any ideas what I'm missing?
I have tried changing a few things and had some success by feeding the dropdown values a string[] instead of a member of an object. That seems to work, but defeats the object of using databinding doesn't it?
Any help appreciated!
Just guessing here, because I don't have time to set up a test and confirm right now, but are you doing any validating? I seem to remember that data-bound controls won't let you leave if the contents don't validate. Even if you aren't explicitly, try setting CausesValidation to False to see if there's any sort of validation going on behind the scenes, that might at least give you a hint.
Thanks for the input on this, helped me wrap my head around this.
In my case, it turns out that an exception was being thrown in one of the EventHadlers for my ComboBox.Validating event. It was hard to track down, because the IDE didn't show me that exception. I was able to modify the Exception behavior (in the debug menu) and have it show me any InvalidOperationException that was being thrown, and then I was able to track it down.
As Tom suggested, turning off CuasesValidation was the ticket to figuring it out.
For Infragisticst Dropdowns (may not be true for other winform dropdowns): If you have "LimitToList" set to true you can be stuck in a dropdown that you can't get out of without realizing it. Use the ItemNotInList even to trigger a warning message.
