I have a grid that is using a buffered renderer.
For printing, I copy the grid DOM into a new window, and send it to printer. For this to work, the DOM has to be rendered completely, but with a buffered renderer, it isn't.
If I have to, I will disable buffered renderer completely, but since only a few users use the printing feature, I would prefer not to.
Is there a possibility to switch bufferedRenderer off temporarily before fetching the DOM, and to switch it back on afterwards?
I am not sure how it helps you , but I have done this similar sort by increasing the view size at runtime.
Lets suppose you have buffered renderer with this config:
ptype : 'bufferedrenderer',
trailingBufferZone : 20,
leadingBufferZone : 50
So dynamically , you can set the viewsize at runtime by getting the reference of plugin and using setViewSize(newSize) method.
eg:
var dd=Ext.ComponentQuery.query("#ExampleTreePanel")[0];
var bufferedRendererPlugin = dd.plugins[0];
bufferedRendererPlugin.setViewSize(100000);
This large size is just a big number we can assume so that the DOM will be completely loaded and you can give it to print.Its a workaround. Again you can resize the view by setting it to small number.
bufferedRendererPlugin.setViewSize(115);
I have adapted the good answer by Saloo to work around some things that are different between ExtJS 6 and ExtJS 4:
// Set view size to match store content:
this.bufferedRenderer.setViewSize(this.getStore().getCount());
// Refresh view, so that everything is rendered:
this.bufferedRenderer.refreshView(0);
// refreshView does not revert the node container's "translate" setting after the viewSize was changed to be equal or greater than the store count, so we have to enforce it manually:
this.getView().getEl().down(this.getView().getNodeContainerSelector()).translate(0,0,0);

I am testing a WPF application and am not privy to it's exact workings but I am finding many instances where I need to find if a control is shown. All the traditional answers on this on Stack Overflow and MS forums etc say to use one of the following ...
IsVisible,
Exists,
TryGetClickablePoint,
State (e.g. OffScreen
The problem is that for this system, many controls return true for all of those even when the control cannot be seen! They also return a point with co-ordinates (-1, -1, -1, -1) whether the control is visible or not.
The only thing I have had any success with is using a try catch finally. I try to click on the control and if that fails, I go in to the catch block. That takes 60 seconds to time out though and I am getting intermittent issues with tests that run 9 times out of 10. Maybe the constant use of try catch is causing performance issues.
Is there an approach that actually works when all the standard approaches fail? I have noticed lots of other people asking these question are also testing WPF. Is there something WPF developers are doing to hide controls that makes CodedUI think they are still present and visible etc. Are they just behind something?
Many thanks in advance.
The solution was two-fold. Firstly I had to find the element and this was not working properly with my recorded steps. The element was buried too deeply in the system under test which is WPF (XAML). Secondly I had to prove I had found the element and for this I can't use TryGetClickablePoint, Exists, Top or Width. None of them seemed to work properly at all for my element. I had to use State.
public void Assert_MyElementShown()
{
#region Variable Declarations
WpfCustom uISurfaceCustom = this.UISysUnderTestClientShWindow.UIItemCustom1.UISurfaceCustom;
WpfCustom uIYAxisLabelsCustom = new WpfCustom();
#endregion
//Find the Element using it's Container and SearchProperties
uIYAxisLabelsCustom.Container = uISurfaceCustom;
uIYAxisLabelsCustom.SearchProperties[WpfControl.PropertyNames.ClassName] = "Uia.AxisLabelControl";
uIYAxisLabelsCustom.SearchProperties[WpfControl.PropertyNames.AutomationId] = "YAxisLabels";
//Use the State to find if it's on screen or not
var state = uIYAxisLabelsCustom.State;
if (state == Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.ControlStates.Default)
{
//Element is visible, do stuff here!
}
else if (state == Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.ControlStates.Offscreen)
{
//The control may exist, it may have location on screen and may even
//appear to be clickable according to coded ui framework but is is NOT
//shown on the screen.
}
}
You can try this approach for your application..if control properties are showing true for viable than we can go for height and width.Means if control is not visible in UI and but still all properties are showing true than check control height and width must be in -ve number.Than we can keep a assertion like
If control.height<0
Not visible in UI
UPDATE
I've tried to make a standalone version here: https://codepen.io/neezer/pen/pPRJar
It doesn't work quite like my local copy, but I'm hoping it similar enough that you can see where I'm trying to go.
I'm not getting quite the same behavior as well because I changed the listener target to document, which seemed to help some.
Also, I'm using RxJS v5 and the latest version of React.
Still getting the hang of RxJS...
I have two Observables: one subscribed to mouseover x coordinates on a table to show a resize column, and the other to allow the user to drag on that column.
Roughly speaking, the first one looks like this (all of the below defined in a componentDidUpdate lifecycle method in a React component):
Rx.DOM.mouseover(tableEl)
.map(/* some complicated x coordinate checking */)
.distinctUntilChanged()
.subscribe(/* setState call */)
That works great, and gives me this:
So now I want to provide the actual "drag" behavior, and I tried setting up a new Observable like so
// `resizerEl` is the black element that appears on hover
// from the previous observable; it's just a div that gets
// repositioned and conditionally created
Rx.DOM.mousedown(resizerEl)
.flatMap(md => {
md.preventDefault()
return Rx.DOM.mousemove(tableEl)
.map(mm => mm.x - md.x)
.takeUntil(Rx.DOM.mouseup(document))
})
.subscribe(/* do column resizing stuff */)
There are three problems with that:
Once I've done my first "drag", I can't do any more. My understanding is that takeUntil completes the Observable, and I'm not sure how I can "restart" it.
The mousemove from the first observable is still active while I'm dragging, so my black div will disappear once my x position changes enough to trigger that behavior.
The binding on the second Observable doesn't always seem to trigger (it's unreliable). I think there might be a race condition or something happening here because sometimes I'll refresh the page and I'll get the drag once (from #1), and other times I won't get it at all.
Note at first after a clean refresh I can't drag the handle (#3), then I refresh, and I can't drag the handle past the bounds setup from the first Observable--and the black resizer bar disappears and reappears as my mouse's x coordinate enters and leaves that envelope (#2).
I've been head-banging on this for quite some time now and would really appreciate any insight as to what I'm doing wrong here. In short, I want
the first Observable to "pause" when I'm dragging, then resume when I'm done dragging
the second Observable to not "complete" (or "restart") once a drag is done
the second Observable to reliably work
As I mentioned earlier, I currently have this logic setup in a React component's componentDidUpdate lifecycle method, the shape of which looks roughly like this:
componentWillUpdate() {
// bail if we don't have the ref to our table
if (!tableEl) {
return;
}
// try not to have a new Observable defined on each component update
if (!this.resizerDrag$ && this.resizer) {
this.resizerDrag$ = // second Observable from above
}
// try not to have a new Observable defined on each component update
if (!this.resizerPos$) {
this.resizerPos$ = // first Observable from above
}
}
I've played around with this a bit now, I don't think this answer will be complete, but I'd like to share my insights. Hopefully a more advanced RxJS mind will chime in, and we can all work together to figure it out :).
I recreated a "lite-er" version of this in CodePen, using some light jQuery manipulation as opposed to React. Here's what I have so far:
"the first Observable to "pause" when I'm dragging, then resume when I'm done dragging"
Solving the first point helps with the other two. Based on what I had to do to get my resizerEl, I get the feeling it is rendered in the render method of the component based on something in this.state. If this is true, that means that when the first observable still has the ability to create and destroy resizerEl even while the second observable is listening. This means that resizerEl will no longer be able to generate any events, even though the observable doesn't complete until you've moused up.
In my case, I noticed that if you moved the mouse fast enough to go outside of width of what you were trying to drag, it would eliminate resizerEl, which is of what we want, but not while we're trying to drag something!
My solution: I introduced another variable to the "state" of the "component". This would set to true when we moused down on resizerEl, and then false when we moused up again.
Then we use switchMap.
Rx.DOM.mousemove(tableEl)
.switchMap(function(event) {
return this.state.mouseIsDown ? Rx.Observable.never() : Rx.Observable.of(event);
})
.map(...
There's probably a better way to do it rather than just sticking event back in an Observable, but this was the last part of it I worked on and my brain is kind of fried hehe. The key here is switching to Observable.never while the mouse is down, that way we don't go any further down the operator chain.
Actually, one nice thing is that this may not even need to be put in this.state, since that would cause a re-render. You can probably just use an instance variable, since the variable is only essential to the Observables functionality, and not any rendering. So, using this.mouseIsDown would be just as good.
How do we handle the mouse being down or up?
Part 1:
...
Rx.DOM.mousedown(resizerEl)
.do(() => this.mouseIsDown = true)
Better to abstract this to a function of course, but this is the gist of what it does.
Part 2:
...
return Rx.DOM.mousemove(tableEl)
.map(mm => mm.x - md.x)
.takeUntil(Rx.DOM.mouseup(document))
.doOnCompleted(() => this.mouseIsDown = false)
Here we take advantage of doOnComplete to perform this side-effect once the observable has completed, which in this case, would be on mouseup.
"the second Observable to not "complete" (or "restart") once a drag is done"
Now here's the tricky one, I never ran into this problem. You see, every time Rx.DOM.mousedown(resizerEl) emits an event, inside of flatMap, a new Observable is created each time with return Rx.DOM.mousemove(tableEl).... I used RxJS 4.1 when making this, so it's possible that there could be behavioral differences, but I found that just because the inner observable completed didn't mean the outer one would complete as well.
So what could be happening? Well, I'm thinking that since you're using React, that resizerEl is being created/destroyed respectively when the component is rendering. I haven't seen the rest of your code of course, but please correct me if I'm wrong about this assumption.
This wasn't a problem for me because, for the sake of simplicity, I simply re-used the same element as a dragger, only hiding it when I wasn't hovering over a draggable element.
So the important question is: how is resizerEl being defined and used in your component? I'm assuming the actual reference to it is made using, well, a ref. But if it that DOM element is ever destroyed or recreated, then the Rx.Dom binding needs to be repeated all over again.
I see you're doing this with componentDidUpdate. However, the Rx.Dom.mousedown event may still be bound to an old copy of the ref to resizerEl. Even if the component destroys the resizer in the DOM, and sets the ref (I assume that is this.resizer) to null or undefined, that does not destroy the Observable that is bound to that element. In fact, I don't even think it removes it from memory, even if it's removed from the DOM! That means that this.resizerDrag$ will never evaluate to false/null, and it will still be listening to an element that is no longer in the DOM.
If that is the case, something like this in componentWillUpdate might help:
if (!this.resizerDrag$ && this.resizer) {
this.resizerDrag$ = // second Observable from above
}
else if (!this.resizer && this.resizerDrag$) {
this.resizerDrag$ = null;
}
This will remove the Observable if the resizer object ceases to exist, that way we can properly reinitialise it upon it's return. There's a better to way to do with Subjects, keeping the subscription to one subject and just subscribing the subject to different mousedown streams once they become available, but let's keep this simple :).
This is something where we'd have to see the rest of your code (for this component) tell what's going on, and figure how to address it. But, my hypothesis is that you'd need to intentionally destroy the Observable if this.resizer is ever removed.
the second Observable to reliably work
Pretty sure that once the above two issues work, this one goes away. Nice and easy!
The CodePen
Here is the very naive mockup I made of this problem:
https://codepen.io/anon/pen/KmapYZ
Drag the blue circles back and forth along the X axis. (Has some little problems and bugs unrelated to the scope of this question, so I'm not worried about them.)
I made some slight changes of course just to keep it in-step with the more dumb downed approach I used. But all the concepts are there, as well as most of the code you wrote, modified to match this approach.
As I mentioned before, I didn't encounter the problem of the dragging only working once, so this better demonstrates the solution to pausing the first Observable. I re-use the dragging element, which I assume is why I didn't run into the 'drag-only-once' problem.
I hope that you or anyone else can comment with some improvements to this approach, or just show us a better (potentially more idiomatic) approach.
I have trouble getting Map behave properly when calling ZoomToResolution and PanTo
I need to be able to Zoom into specific coordinate and center map.
The only way I got it working is by removing animations:
this.MapControl.ZoomDuration = new TimeSpan(0);
this.MapControl.PanDuration = new TimeSpan(0);
Otherwise if I make call like this:
control.MapControl.ZoomToResolution(ZoomLevel);
control.MapControl.PanTo(MapPoint());
It does one or another (i.e. pan or zoom, but not both). If (after animation) I call this code second time (map already zoomed or panned to needed position/level) - it does second part.
Tried this:
control.MapControl.ZoomToResolution(ZoomLevel, MapPoint());
Same issue, internally it calls above commands
So, my only workaround right now is to set Zoom/Pan duration to 0. And it makes for bad UX when using mouse.
I also tried something like this:
this.MapControl.ZoomDuration = new TimeSpan(0);
this.MapControl.PanDuration = new TimeSpan(0);
control.MapControl.ZoomToResolution(ZoomLevel);
control.MapControl.PanTo(MapPoint());
this.MapControl.ZoomDuration = new TimeSpan(750);
this.MapControl.PanDuration = new TimeSpan(750);
Which seems to be working, but then mouse interaction becomes "crazy". Mouse scroll will make map jump and zoom to random places.
Is there known solution?
The problem is the second operation replaces the previous one. You would have to wait for one to complete before starting the next one. But that probably doesn't give the effect you want.
Instead zoom to an extent, and you'll get the desired behavior. If you don't have the extent but only center and resolution, you can create one using the following:
var zoomToExtent = new Envelope(point.X - resolution * MapControl.ActualWidth/2, point.Y, point.X + resolution * MapControl.ActualWidth/2, point.Y);
Btw it's a little confusing in your code that you call your resolution "ZoomLevel". I assume this is a map resolution, and not a level number right? The esri map control doesn't deal with service-specific levels, but is agnostic to the data's levels and uses a more generic "units per pixels" resolution value.
I am unable to access the store elements returned from my store. When I console.log(me.proxy.read(operation)) and expand/navigate in the console I see all of my elements. There are 1000 rows. I am using the same store for a grid and have the pageSize set to 50. Even though I can see 1000 rows when i do a console.log(me.proxy.read(operation.resultSet.records[51])) i get an undefined message. So, it appears that for some reason the number of elements I can access is only 50 as that is what my pageSize is set to.
Long story short, I am using the same store for two scenarios. I want to have paging in my grid that will show 50 rows on each page. However, I want to loop through the entire store and load an array of all 1000 rows. The reason why I want an array of all 1000 is becasue I am going to use a date field in the rows to populate my date picker from an array. I am going to disable the dates in my grid and have the datepicker display only the dates that are in my grid.
I tried to include a screen shot but I am not allowed because i am only a 3 on the reputation system.
var operation = new Ext.data.Operation({action: 'read', start: 0, limit: 1000});
var proxy = new Ext.data.proxy.Ajax({ url: 'http://192.168.0.103/testit/dao_2.cfc?method=getContent'});
me.proxy.read(operation);
console.log(me.proxy.read(operation));
HERE IS UPDATED CODE:
I have this in my controller:
ondatesStoreLoad: function(me,records,success)
{
var s = this.getStore('dates');
for (i = 0; i < s.getCount(); i++) {
MESSAGE_ID = s.getAt(i).get('message_id');
RECIP_EMAIL = s.getAt(i).get('recip_email');
UNIX_TIME_STAMP = s.getAt(i).get('unix_time_stamp')
console.log(i,MESSAGE_ID, RECIP_EMAIL, UNIX_TIME_STAMP);
};}
This puts out all 1,000 of my records to the console but I am not sure how to put them in an array that I can use in my datepicker component. When ever i try to get the store in the datepicker it is always undefined. I suppose it is becasue the store hasn't loaded yet so there is nothing there. Not sure how to get around that. Perhaps a callback handler?
HERE IS ANOTHER UPDATE:
I added a callback in my store.load:
var store = Ext.getStore('dates');
store.load({callback: function(){
console.log(store.data.items[999].data.recip_email);
console.log(store.data.items[999].data.unix_time_stamp);}
})
That took forever to figure out but now I can access all my records and have a smaller problem to work on. At the moment i just have one element hardcoded to do a quick test.
Where do I need to put the code to get it into my date picker disableDates config? I need to put the dates into an array but for quick testing I used minDate: just to see if i could see something work but it shows up as undefined. Now i have the code in a beforrender listener but that seemingly needs to be in some other place or maybe some handler for my date picker....? is there an onload for the datepicker or something i shoudl use for this??
Why not just change the datepicker directly from that ondatesStoreLoad function? Before the loop, disable all dates in the datepicker. Then during the loop, instead of the console.log call, enable the date that was found in that record.
In theory, that should work. However, looking at the docs for Ext, I don't see a way to disable all dates, or to enable a date. You can only set which dates are disabled. But the general idea of updating the datepicker in that ondatesStoreLoad call is still what you should do.
You might need to extend the datepicker class, and add some custom methods to it to be able to enable a specific day.
I'm currently writing an eBook reader for Windows Phone Seven, and I'm trying to style it like the Kindle reader. In order to do so, I need to split my books up into pages, and this is going to get a lot more complex when variable font sizes are added.
To do this at the moment, I just add a word at a time into the textblock until it becomes higher than its container. As you can imagine though, with a document of over 120,000 words, this takes an unacceptable period of time.
Is there a way I can find out when the text would exceed the bounds (logically dividing it into pages), without having to actually render it? That way I'd be able to run it in a background thread so the user can keep reading in the meantime.
So far, the only idea that has occurred to me is to find out how the textblock decides its bounds (in the measure call?), but I have no idea how to find that code, because reflector didn't show anything.
Thanks in advance!
From what I can see the Kindle app appears to use a similar algorithm to the one you suggest. Note that:
it generally shows the % position through the book - it doesn't show total number of pages.
if you change the font size, then the first word on the page remains the same (so that's where the % comes from) - so the Kindle app just does one page worth of repagination assuming the first word of the page stays the same.
if you change the font size and then scroll back to the first page, then actually there is a discontinuity - they pull content forwards again in order to fill the first page.
Based on this, I would suggest you do not index the whole book. Instead just concentrate on the current page based on a "position" of some kind (e.g. character count - displayed as a percentage). If you have to do something on a background thread, then just look at the next page (and maybe the prev page) in order that scrolling can be more responsive.
Further to optimise your experience, there are a couple of changes you could make to your current algorithm that you could try:
try a different starting point and search increment for your algorithm - no need to start at one word and to then only add one word at a time.
assuming most of your books are ASCII, try caching the width of the common characters, and then work out the width of textblocks yourself.
Beyond that, I'd also quite like to try using <Run> blocks within your TextBlock - it may be possible to get the relative position of each Run within the TextBlock - although I've not managed to do this yet.
I do something similar to adjust font size for individual textboxes (to ensure they all fit). Basically, I create a TextBlock in code, set all my properties and check the ActualWidth and ActualHeight properties. Here is some pseudo code to help with your problem:
public static String PageText(TextBlock txtPage, String BookText)
{
TextBlock t = new TextBlock();
t.FontFamily = txtPage.FontFamily;
t.FontStyle = txtPage.FontStyle;
t.FontWeight = txtPage.FontWeight;
t.FontSize = txtPage.FontSize;
t.Text = BookText;
Size Actual = new Size();
Actual.Width = t.ActualWidth;
Actual.Height = t.ActualHeight;
if(Actual.Height <= txtPage.ActualHeight)
return BookText;
Double hRatio = txtPage.ActualHeight / Actual.Height;
return s.Substring((int)((s.Length - 1) * hRatio));
}
The above is untested code, but hopefully can get you started. Basically it sees if the text can fit in the box, if so you're good to go. If not, it finds out what percentage of the text can fit and returns it. This does not take word breaks into account, and may not be a perfect match, but should get you close.
You could alter this code to return the length rather than the actual substring and use that as your page size. Creating the textblock in code (with no display) actually performs pretty well (I do it in some table views with no noticeable lag). I wouldn't send all 120,000 words to this function, but a reasonable subset of some sort.
Once you have the ideal length you can use a RegEx to split the book into pages. There are examples on this site of RegEx that break on word boundaries after a specific length.
Another option, is to calculate page size ahead of time for each potential fontsize (and hardcode it with a switch statement). This could easily get crazy if you are allowing any font and any size combinations, and would be awful if you allowed mixed fonts/sizes, but would perform very well. Most likely you have a particular range of readable sizes, and just a few fonts. Creating a test app to calculate the text length of a page for each of these combinations wouldn't be that hard and would probably make your life easier - even if it doesn't "feel" right as a programmer :)
I didn't find any reference to this example from Microsoft called: "Principles of Pagination".
It has some interesting sample code running in Windows Phone.

You can query the FormattedText class that is used AFAIK inside textBlock. since this is the class being used to format text in preparation for Rendering, this is the most lower-level class available, and should be fast.
