I am trying to get blue prism to multi-select some options on a webpage. What I did was spy the html combo box and then use navigate to create four elements:
Global send keys, with text value = "<{CTRL}>".
Global Mouse click, with text value = option name
repeat 2 on other options I want to choose
Global send keys, with text value = "{CTRL}".
Error message was "Keyword "CTRL" is not valid". Very confused on how to proceed...
If you want to do press a key, then do some actions, then release the key, then Global Send Keys is not the function to use. Go for Global Send Key Events.
The < and > function as a state modifier, using these you specify what key event you want to do. The character < is for key pressing, > is for releasing. So, to press Control, you would use <{CTRL} and to release it you would use >{CTRL}.

I'm researching an easy way to make a free text input that can also contain multiple replaceable tags to create templates. As on this picture example
In that picture, the information witch player (tag) made the goal would be stored.
Later I would reuse that template and replacing the tag by a value.
Like: Goal of Iniesta, Goal of Rivaldo, ...
I couldn't find a lib that would do the job. The few attempts that I made to try to resolve it lead to extremely complex inputs with redefining selects (onClick, onKeydown, onSelect, maintaining current select) as the user can't edit the tag by hand (they are trigger by clicking buttons).
Does somebody already had to handle this kind of input?
Edit: As my question seems to be not clear, I will add a few details.
In fact, the input should work as it is a free text input but should also allow adding tags/chips that are provided by external triggers (onClick buttons)
Example: I will make [activity] on [day]
First I type "I will make " then I click the button "activity" that will add a "activity" tag/chip to the input. I continue with typing " on " and finaly click the button "day" to add the tag "day".
Then I will store this as template and reuse it in several scenarios by replacing the tags. Like:
I will make sandwiches on Monday
I will make sport on Friday
If somebody else have the same issue. I finally found the right lib Tagify. It has a mixed mode (text + tag)
Everytime I jump to where I can enter e new record, the ID field from the parent is empty and so the connection is lost. I am looking for a workaround.
My Setup
I have a parent form that deals with two 1:n relationships
(school-class --> pupils, school-class --> tests).
For the first relationship I used the wizard. Everything works find. For the second I show the connected tests in an unbound list. Under the list is a button opening the form for entering a new record (test) for the class I came from (parent form). So I filter the sub-form via VBA so that only the tests of the current class are shown. That works perfectly fine, too.
When moving through the tests already connected with the class the correct ID (of the class filtered) is the value of the corresponding input field. But when I come to the new new record state (all fields empty), then the connection to the parent breaks and the user has to manually enter the ID of the parent (school-class).
My Question
Is my setup correct?
Is there a better way to create a subform that offers to (only) enter a new record connected to the parent data? (Maybe without the ID input field in the subform and passing of forcing the value via VBA?)
Thank you for your time!
You can use Default Value to set the classid of Tests form but be sure the parent form is open in background or behind the pop up.
Under Property Sheet/Data tab of Tests form's classid control, enter in Default Value cell:
=Forms!parentformname!classid
Alternatively, in VBA in the Tests form's OnOpen Event:
Me.classid.DefaultValue = Forms!parentformname!classid
You can then choose to hide (Visible - No) this classid control so users do not modify it. It's always advised to never allow users control of primary and foreign keys.
I'm trying to use AngularJS and Angular-UI-Bootstrap to create a WebApp but as I'm rather new with all this, I need some help. I'm using ng-repeat and an array to create a Tab interface.
Depending on an action in the first Tab, a second Tab is added to the interface or should be refreshed if it's already open. I've got the Tab working and have a check to make sure it isn't added again when it's already open.
The basic structure is the following: One controller (TabController) to control the Tab interface, and one controller (Tab1 and Tab2) for each Tab that's added to the interface.
Now, I have the following problem, the content of the second tab should change depending on data changed in the first tab. When the user confirms the data in the first tab, I execute a function in the TabController (to add / activate the second tab) that also changes some data in the scope. I can't seem to be able to detect the change in this data in de second tab, I've created a watch for the field, but it's only fired the first time the tab is loaded. If I use the field itself, the data is changed, but the watch doesn't fire. Anyone got an idea how I can get this to work? The data that changes should be used to make changes to other information, that's the reason I'm trying to use a watch and execute a function...
I've created a Plunker that should demonstrate in a simple example what the problem is and what I'm trying to do (I hope...)
DEMO
On the first Tab, there is a button to add a second tab (or activate it), as an example, I just increase a count that's displayed on both tabs. On the second tab, I have a local field on the scope that I fill with the global field using a $watch.
When starting the first time, the global count is one, after adding the second tab, both the global as the local count on the second tab are 2. When I go back to the first tab and click the 'Add tab' button again, the global count on both tabs is 3, but the local count on the second tab remains 2 and the watch isn't fired.
As I'm new to Angular (and web programming) I might be trying to do something that goes against all the best practices, so if someone has a better / different way to do what I'm trying to do, feel free to make any suggestions.
Your watch expression was incorrect, the correct expression would be
$scope.$watch("tabCount",
function() {
$scope.localCount = $scope.tabCount;
})
}
instead of
$scope.$watch($scope.tabCount,
The first one means you want to watch on a variable tabCountdefined over the scope.
I am trying to capture keypress event for "ENTER" key for input box inside ADF editable table. I have added client listener and server listener and have the JavaScript code for the input box inside af:resource tag.
The requirement is as follows -
I have a editable table with total of 6 columns but only first and last columns are editable. So when user enters a value in first column and hits enter I need to populate some data from some other business component and fill the other columns.
I am able to capture the enter keypress event, but when I am using chrome after the server side method is called the row focus is automatically moved to next row in the table.
Can someone tell me how to stop this on the table. This happens only in chrome. The code works fine in firefox and IE.
You could set focus on the field you need through javascript on request. But you need to know the client Id of the component to set focus on.
Call this in your event handler:
String clientId = ...
String script = "AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent('" + clientId + "').focus();";
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Service.getRenderKitService(context,
ExtendedRenderKitService.class).addScript(context, script);
script will be called on the client when response is handled.
I have to create a vertical menu using clutter in C. Can anyone help me how to implement focus shift using the navigation keys for the menu where i want to highlight the focused menu option.
the easiest way is to mark the actor that contains all the menu items as reactive, assign to it the key focus using clutter_actor_grab_key_focus() and connect to the key-press-event signal. then you can use clutter_event_get_key_symbol() on the ClutterEvent passed to the signal and match it agains key symbols like CLUTTER_KEY_Down or CLUTTER_KEY_Up.
then there's even the possibility to use ClutterBindingPool to handle tuples of (key symbol, modifier) and assign them to a specific callback function.
