On July 19, 2016 at 8:07 pm a question was posed to you regarding making the popup list break lines for long text?
see https://www.codenameone.com/blog/dynamic-autocomplete.html
At that Time you responded "dynamic line breaking is problematic with renderers so that won’t work."
Has this changed?
Is there any way to span lines in the List?
I created a renderer with TextField and set setSingleLineTextArea and setGrowByContent true however The List object does not break lines.
Thoughts?

With renederes getting multiple lines will always be problematic. You can just use a TextField and show an InteractionDialog popup below as you type. In it you can put whatever you want in terms of layout/components.
You can use the DataChangeListener to update the content of the dialog. This is obviously a bit more challenging than using the "simple" auto complete. But it gives you 100% control over the content.

Here's the context:
pdfjs-dist: v2.2.228
angualar/core: 8.2.0 (hybrid Env with an AngularJs 1.5.X)
Objective: to upgrade pdfjs-dist to the latest versions (2.3.200 or at least 2.2.X)
I upgraded from pdfjs-dist 2.0.4xx, and here's what is being rendered:
So basically, instead of having the PDF rendered correctly, with highlightable text and so on, there's like a duplicate of the text: one version of the text is rendered correctly (graphically), the other version seems to work OK for text selection and searching.
When doing any search, PDFFindController works on the highlightable layer (as you can see the area with the greenish text in the upper part of the image).
Any idea what might cause this behavior?
this is due to the new update of PDFjs requires css file to style the pdf.
you can get more details on this from the following question's answer
PDFJS: error on Text rendering for the PDF
I have a flat-file to be load in SSRS report. Which already contains New Line and required spacing. Like the below image:
Want to display same layout and newlines(CRLF) into SSRS. Which works fine If I use
≪Place Holder Property → Markup type = "None - Plain text only"≫
But I want to increase the spacing between Individual new lines.
So I tried below expression with the same other properties:
=REPLACE(Fields!Column1.Value, Chr(13), vbCrLf)
But It has increased the space almost double than my expectation. I also tried to convert ≪Place Holder Property≫ into ≪ HTML - Interpret HTML tags as styles ≫, but It has removed normal new lines which exist into flat-file.
I tried many existing solutions over StackOverflow but none of them are matching my requirement.
Could anyone please give it a try!
Edit-1:
Textbox.line-height is providing a facility to change spacing between lines, but not reflecting PDF output, only showing the effect on a web browser. My target output is PDF.
I am afraid that the thing you are asking about isn't possible.
“<br>” ,”<p>”,vbcrlf, font setting in textbox of any report ,the list mark , do not work with SSRS.
I inherited a legacy website written in old zul and have to add new datebox component for birthday datepicker.
Have added a constraint to accept dates before a given date but that triggers an error alertbox from start as the date presented/selected by default on the datepicker is today.
I wouldn't want to use a workaround but to all due respect it seems like this is something over the top feature I'm looking for in zk's reality:
The main showcase for zul does include a birthday datebox, but pretty lame as it doesn't contain any constrain on age.
There is zk fiddler to show how the before constrain works, but that just proves my point that it doesn't select the first proper date for default date at least, if there is no clean way of setting it.
There is forum post that proposes a workaround to set the default year, so Zk is most probably incapable of doing this without a workaround.
There is an open ZK Jira issue from 2017 that addresses somewhat this issue, with a proposed solution pretty much the same as the workaround mentioned in the above point - so the hope is kinda lost, have to go on the workaround route.
I did try that workaround (after the forum post, as that has default year), but the workaround doesn't work for me. It does execute the
this.setValue(initialDate);
And I see that the value is set into the datebox's _pop/_value and _pop/_end nodes but no difference is visible on the datepicker box, still today is preselected altough it is greyed out - so no effect.
Still, when I try it in a fiddle with version 6.5.8.1, the oldest engine that exists, it does work, but not locally with v5.0.11.
In the buglist for this version there is no mention of datebox. Tried to look into to some bugs that might be interfering but turns out it was just another episode of me wasting time with this.
Tried in the 5.0.11 sandbox and it doesnt work with that version. The structure of how I use it is imitated in the linked fiddler. Hints on a workaround that works on this version?
ZK 5.0.11 is a bit on the older side currently, so it might not accept exactly the same overrides as later versions. If I understand the issue correctly, it boils down to either
1 - setting a value before Datebox is rendered to have a "initial date" opened in calendar.
I'd say that's the easy way out, since you can use either composing or databinding to set the value of the datebox during page rendering. Here's a small sample using databinding and zscripts, but the same logic should apply from composer with setValue(). You mentioned that this doesn't work for you locally with 5.0.11 though. Can you share the code that you are using for this? Sample code here in fiddle I can run it on local 5.0.11, and it set the date before popup is opened.
or
2 - setting an initial date (which doesn't affect the selected value) but would be the target for the opened calendar.
This is not a default ZK 5 behavior for datebox. If you want that effect, you would need to customize it using an override script. Simplest way in can think of in ZK 5 is to use the open event of the datebox popup here's an example of what it would look like (package in a script tag in a single page for the example, would use a global js file for real deployement) example here
I was wondering whether there was a function in KDevelop similar to the one that we used to have in Quanta (miss you, Quanta, btw).
I would like to set a keyboard shortcut, and apply a text transformation upon hitting it. Example:
I select my text to be translated, and I get back: <?=_('my text to be translated'?>
As you can see, this saves me a lot of awkward keystrokes...
I only found this feature in PHPStorm (where it is called "Live Templates"). I defined it like this: <?=t('$SELECTION$')?> and I can call it by hitting CTRL+ALT+J, and select it from the dropdown that appears.
You should be able to do that using a snippet with the following text: <?=_('%{selection}'?>
And you can bind a Shortcut to a snippet.
However my tests showed that this doesn't work correctly - there seems to be a bug somewhere.
As alternative you can write a script that does insert the text. See the documentation.
I am trying to figure out how to make a hyperlink in a Livecycle Form which points to a URL which will change on different days that the form is rendered. For example on one day I might want the hyperlink to point to:
mywebsite/mypage?option=XXX
and on another day I want it to point to:
mywebsite/mypage?option=YYY
The XXX and YYY can be passed into the form's data pretty easily as XML, but I just don't know how to make it so that the hyperlink is changed to correspond to this.
Any suggestions?
This can be accomplished with JavaScript in LiveCycle Designer. The following script, placed on the Form's docReady event will let you dynamically change the URL of a text object.
form1::docReady - (JavaScript, client)
// If this code is running on the server, you don't want it to run any code
// that might force a relayout, or you could get stuck in an infinite loop
if (xfa.host.name != "XFAPresentationAgent") {
// You would load the URL that you want into this variable, based on
// whatever XML data is being passed into your form
var sURL = "www.stackoverflow.com"; // mywebsite/mypage?option=xxx
// URLs are encoded in XHTML. In order to change the URL, you need
// to create the right XHTML string and push it into the Text object's
// <value> node. This is a super simple XHTML shell for this purpose.
// You could add all sorts of markup to make your hyperlink look pretty
var sRichText = "<body><p>Foo</p></body>";
// Assuming you have a text object called "Text1" on the form, this
// call will push the rich text into the node. Note that this call
// will force a re-layout of the form
this.resolveNode("Text1").value.exData.loadXML(sRichText, false, true);
}
There are a couple of caveats: URLs in Acrobat are only supported in Acrobat 9.0 and later. So if someone using an older version of Acrobat opens your form, the URLs won't work.
Also, as you can see from the "if (xfa.host.name !=...)" line, this code won't run properly if the form is being generated on the server, because forcing a re-layout of a form during docReady can cause problems on certain older versions of the LiveCycle server. If you do need to run this script on the server, you should probably pick a different event then form::docReady.
I a number of complaints from users in WorkSpace that clicking links opened them in the same tab so they lost their WorkSpace form, and there's no option to change that in Designer 11. I think the solution I came up with for that would work for you too.
I made buttons with no border and no background, and in their click event have this line (in Javascript, run at client)
app.launchURL("http:/stackoverflow.com/", true);
It would be easy to add some logic to choose the right URL based on the day and it doesn't cause any form re-rendering.
In some spots where the hyperlink is in line with other text, I leave the text of the link blue and underlined but with no hyperlink, and just place the button (no background, no border, no caption) over it. Does require positioned and not flowed subforms for that to work, so depending on your layout it could get a little clunky.
Wow, just realized I am super late to the party. Well, for anyone using ES4 facing a similar problem . . .
Ended up using a 3rd party component to manipulate the PDF's hyperlinks...wish there was a better solution as this one costs about $1000.
