PyGTK ComboBox: how to populate when down-arrow is clicked - combobox

(PyGTK 2.24.2 with 32-bit Python 2.7.11.)
How do I populate a ComboBox dynamically when the down-arrow is clicked? I want the box to list the Windows COM ports (retrieved via win32file.QueryDosDevice) that exist at the moment it is clicked.

Create a callback function related to the "popdown" gtk.ComboBox Signal where you remove all texts in the connected liststore and add the new ones.
Definition (in your screen design, right after creating the combo):
self.combobox.connect ( 'popdown', self.callback )
Callback (best located in a separate part of the code):
def callback(self, combobox, user_param1, ...)
See http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2reference/class-gtkcombobox.html#signal-gtkcombobox--popdown

access 2007 where condition in Buttons linking between two forms

For a simple borrowed item database, I am trying to link two forms together via a button 'Return'
However, the button does not apply a filter to the correct Item.
In the main menu their is a subform that shows the list of borrowed item via a Query. The list of borrowed Items is a continuous form with the button 'return'
The following event is used when the button is clicked:
OpenForm
form nameReturn
View Form
Data mode Edit
window mode Normal
searchforrecord
object type form
object name return
record First
Where condition = ="[Item_ID]="&[Item_ID]
In that situation access does not apply a filter, after some tutorials I discovered another methode and tested it.
OpenForm
form nameReturn
View Form
Where condition = ="[Item_ID]="&[Item_ID]
Data mode Edit
window mode Normal
in that situation a filter is applied but it does not find any records. Could anyone help in what i did wrong to find link the two forms that use the same table?

Creating new UI controls programmatically in visual c++

I have just started using visual studio c++ (2010) with windows forms, but have cannot for the life of me find out how to create new UI items in response to events. What I would want to happen is click a button, and have a new row, with a couple of text boxes and buttons appear, with onebutton to delete the row if I keep clicking, more rows will appear, named row0, row1 etcv. I looked at this page, (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa984255(v=vs.71).aspx), about adding controls programmatically, but when I add a new text box inside a click event, the text box is only created inside the scope of the event (as expected!), but I want to be able to create it insde the newRow click event, but access it and . I thought of making a 'row' class, with row.text and row.deleteButton properties, and at each creation of a row, respective events will be created for button clicks and text edits.
Is there anyway to do this, ie a function that can be created that creates new objects by passing the required name?
The trick for this to work is that you need to have declarations outside of the event handler to keep track of the newly added UI components. In the link you've given the added TextBox is locally scoped within the event function, and this will be removed from the heap (i.e. memory) when the event is finished.
So one solution would be to add a list of UI components to your form, and then have the events add to or remove from this list of components. To get this solution working you possibly need to read up on lists of objects (or possibly dictionaries) and how to handle these.
Sorry for a rather general answer, but the question is also very broad... :)

Lightswitch modal window

I've got standard CreateNewEntity screen. Entity can contain list of entities of some other type. By default there is an add button that opens modal window when user wants to add another entity into collection. However, default modal window was lacking some of the needed functionality so I've done a bit of research. Turns out that default modal screens cannot be modified. So, I found a nice custom modal window helper class. The problem is that I can't seem to be able to access modal window fields in order to enforce needed logic. There are two dropdown lists that are associated. Change in one will result in limiting the other dropdown list options. I'm stuck at this particular part:
var proxy = this.FindControl("DodavanjeParcele");
proxy.ControlAvailable += (s, e) =>
{
var ctrl = e.Control as System.Windows.Controls.Control;
//how to obtain access to ctrl fields?
};
"DodavanjeParcele" is custom modal window. Before this, modal window is instantiated and initialized. It pops up after button click and functions as expected. The only thing missing are above-mentioned rules. I need to set change event handlers for modal window fields in order to define rules. As seen above I tried to cast IProxy as a standard Windows control. This is where I got stuck. I can't seem to find a way to access control fields and set event handlers. Any thoughts?
If I understand you correctly, I'm not sure why you need to search through controls or cast anything.
Control1 is an entity which creates an AutoComplete Box (dropdown list). That selection is copied into a local property in the Control1_Changed method. That property is used as a parameter in a filter query to create Control2.
C#:
private void Control1_Changed()
{
this.MyLocalProperty = this.Control1.SelectedItem;
}
VB.NET:
Private Sub Control1_Changed()
Me.MyLocalProperty = Me.Control1.SelectedItem
End Sub
Just make sure you have Auto Execute Query checked in Control2's Properties and the second control should update and filter when Control1 changes the query parameter.
The code in my screen shots all takes place inside of Yann's Modal Helper so there is nothing special you need to do.

Apex radio button check from controller

I have a scenario and i ma getting no where:
I am having 20 record and i m using pagination via standartcontroller and my page size is 1.
one by one record are displayed on the screen and i am having a list or radio button to select options.
When user select a radio button i am getting its value and fill a map with record,value for some processing.
What i want to do is that when a user hits back button the option he has selected in radio button must be visible there. But its not coz every time i m filling new values in the radiobutton list so old values are not sustained.
What i want is when user hits back button he should be able to see the old radio button selected.
How can i achive this:
1.Is there any way to make a radio button list's values be checked through controller.
2.Do I need to use wrapperclass to do this.
Help needed.! Thanks
It will be easier to put this field into object. If you don't have such field in you sObject than I would suggest to create wrapper class in your controller and display list of this wrappers instead of your native sObject.
If your radio button field is already part of the object, then there's no need for a wrapper class, but if the radio button doesn't need to be part of the object then use a wrapper class to keep the object simple.
Check out this example of a wrapper class with check boxes.
Wrapper classes don't have to be complex.

WPF trigger code behind button to display second form

I am a WPF novice.
I have created a form containing a combo box with which to choose a multi-field key value(populated from an XML data file).
I have also created a second WPF form which is available to display all field values from the record associated with the multi-field key value chosen from the first form.
I need to be able to click a button which will cause the second form to be displayed, with all fields filled in which are associated with the chosen key field values.
How do I go about writing such an event trigger using C#?
couple of steps (this is not really MVVM, BTW) ...
first, add a click handler to your button
second, in the click handler code, instantiate your new form
third, set the data context, etc for the new form
forth, show the new form by calling .Show()
in your xaml add a click handler to the button in question....
<Button Click="myClickHandler"/>
in visual studio, you can right click the text in the click="" and choose to navigate to the handler and visual studio will generate the code for it for you.
in your click handler, in code behind, do something like this....
public void myClickHandler(object sender,EventArgs)
{
MySecondForm form = new MySecondForm();
form.DataContext = theDataContextIWantToSet;
form.Show();
}
