Find out if react-bootstrap Navbar is collapsed - reactjs

First, the nomenclature here is somewhat vague. I will be explicitly using "collapse" to refer to react-bootstrap's behavior of collapsing the Navbar on smaller viewport widths, and "expand" in reference to toggling a collapsed menu into and out of view.
My goal is to create a navigation bar that, while collapsed (mobile), uses the whole Navbar as a toggle to expand the menu. On wider displays (not collapsed) clicking the Navbar should have no action. For this, I need to know if the Navbar has collapsed. (Note that Navbar's expanded prop doesn't cut it here.)
The obvious solution is to modify behavior based on viewport width. However, I'd like not to copy bootstrap's breakpoint widths, but rather refer to the actual state of the Navbar. That would allow for using Navbar's expand prop to change breakpoint setting, etc. Is it possible to access this information in a reasonable manner?
Thanks, all!

Accessibility issues when using Material-UI 'Menu' on top of a 'Drawer'

I was having an accessibility issue when using Material-UI with React. Specifically when placing a Menu on a Drawer. Essentially the normal behaviour of a Menu is to highlight the top MenuItem. This behaviour is different if that menu is placed on a Material UI Drawer.
I have recreated the problem here using just the example Material-UI Menu and Drawer:
https://codesandbox.io/s/material-ui-menu-and-drawer-accessibility-issues-xjj3h?file=/src/App.js
The following images show the difference between the two menus when opened. I am using the chromevox extension while testing:
A normal menu when using chromevox to show accessability:
A menu when it is placed on a material UI drawer:
Would anyone be able to point out if this is an error in my code or if perhaps there are any workarounds? Was going to raise this as a new github issue but felt it was worth asking the question here first. :)
By default, the drawer enforces (so long as it is open) that focus stays within itself. So when the menu opens and grabs focus, the drawer notices that it lost focus and it grabs it back.
There are two options for fixing this:
You can turn off this drawer behavior by specifying the disableEnforceFocus prop (example here).
You can specify the disablePortal prop on the menu (example here). This will cause the menu to be a descendant of the drawer in the DOM (by default the menu uses portals and is added as a child of the <body> element), so the drawer will not try to "take back" the focus, because when focus is in the menu it will still be within the drawer.
I would recommend option 2 since the drawer's focus enforcement is generally a good thing from an accessibility standpoint.

Codename One - Layout issue

I've a GUI built app and I set many Icon images in the code for some components.
The thing is I've made sure all "padding" and "margin" values are the same for the different states of the components (unselected, pressed, etc) but when I try to input data into the TextFields, it seems like the dimensions of some components change without notice and they completely mess with my layout.
Even sometimes some of the icons partially disappear. Please see the following screenshot of before and after text input, where the Container and TextFields shrink
I really don't know what else I can do. I have tried many things, but stil the same outcome. Please help.
You need to make the container housing all this components scrollable.
Use Millimeters for your TextField padding and margin, don't use Screen Percentage. From the image in the images you posted, 2mm top and bottom and 1mm left and right would be suitable.
If the components having those icons are pressable like a button, be sure to set their pressedIcon to the same icon.
Lastly, style your TextField Unselected state and copy this to Selected and Pressed states, to avoid erroneous styling.

How can I rebuild Form Component in Codename One

I'm trying to create Custom Form configuration with scrollable TitleArea. The Form (black) has a BoxLayout.Y_AXIS Layout in BorderLayout.CENTER (blue). StatusBar (green) stays in BorderLayout.NORTH (green), when rest of the TitleArea (cyan) is in the first position in BoxLayout.
removeComponentFromForm function is unavailable for using in extended class. How can I remove components from Form to removing titleArea from BorderLayout.NORTH?
Why use the title area at all? Why not just add a component to the top of the box layout Y and style it as a Title that way you can scroll it out?
You can also use the new Toolbar API that includes many abilities to fade out the title as you scroll etc. See:

Isotape responsive layout with toggles and unknown heights

I am trying to create a masonary style layout using isotope. The layout must be a responsive grid with flexible columns. However each grid item has an hidden text element which opens when the image is clicked. This text will come from wordpress and therefore as an unknown length. I am trying to use the
.isotope("reLayout");
function to reset the layout when the item is toggled however it does not work. If you alter the size of the browser when the text is visible you can see that that the isotope layout kicks back in and gives the desired effect.
I have created a codepen to illustrate my issue. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
You need top use:
$container.isotope("layout");
Not
$container.isotope("reLayout");

Scrollbar Removal

I can't figure out how to remove the scroll bar from my website.
I've looked up ways of doing it on SO but with no luck. It just keeps staying in the box.
I also want to be scrollable but just without the actual scroll bar visible from computers.
(It's not visible via mobile devices which is okay)
Regards,
Alex
There is no standard cross-browser CSS code you can use to render scroll bars invisible. However, you can put your <div id="shoutbox_data"> element inside another <div> element with an id field like "shoutbox_wrapper", set the CSS overflow property of the wrapper element to hidden, and then use JavaScript to automatically resize the wrapper element so it covers up the scrollbox. The idea comes from Jan Bilek, and you can find the JavaScript to accomplish this on his blog.
