Can anyone suggest me how to use progress bar to show progress?
In my app, when a user launches the app for the first time it downloads 12 MB of data via multiple web service, and the download can take 3 to 4 minutes. Right now I am using WL busy indicator but to have good user experience, I think a progress bar is the best solution.
So can you tell me how to proceed?
Is it possible with WL? Do I need to use Dojo?
Worklight does not provide a progress bar UI widget - nor should it; Worklight is not that kind of a framework.
Since you added the dojo tag to your question, you can try implementing Dojo's dijit/ProgressBar. You will need to control when to show and hide it.

Hi I could do with some help / more experienced eyes.
I have a WPF application which I have started automating some UI tests for using winappdriver, upon further investigation it has embeded html in it - webview, and can fire off requests to open the default browser with app related content - such as help files.
Has anyone had experience in working with this? For example:
open the WPF app,
click on help button on the WPF app which will open a browser and
then continue the test to ensure that the correct help page has been launched with the correct content in relation to the WPF page it was fired from.
Presumably this can be done in my case with chrome driver (winappdriver cannot see the content on the webpage). I have tried using selenium's window handles, but it's like the driver can't see the already open browser page. So I am at a bit of a loss and really not sure what to do.
In previous roles I was used to using Ranorex, which does both windows and web based UI automation. So I have never had any experience using multiple driver types to do the one test.
I am using ionic framework, i want to fetch all details of current user. I have a large amount of data.
I want to show progress bar on header and need to show counter (Remaining data) like downloading 1/100 and so on.
Can we run this on behind the scene and how we show.
Any idea ?
Thanks
You can show a basic progress bar - there are several implementations available for angular, which show some ramdom progress.
In Angular it's yet not possible to show the real progress with the actual numbers. You need to implement a XHR progress handler, but this is not (yet) supported by angular.
You have to patch angular or implement your own request handler. For more information see the discussion thread.
I could not think of a better title, Please suggest one.
I am planning to work on a large web application. It will take time to load the full application before application starts functioning.
Suppose its something like asana.com. If you have a link to the task and you open the link. It loads the application first and then shows the detail of the task.
Note: I have added another example in update 2
I want to do just the opposite. Suppose if I try to open the link directly. It should show me the tasks details first and then load the whole application in background.
What development strategy should I follow to implement such feature. Will angular be good for this? I have worked with angular for small projects and am capable of think in angular :)
I just wanted to be pointed in right direction.
Update 1:
I am using Apache2 PHP5 in backing as ReST API. I am thinking to change to GoLang http server. But that does not matter in this context :)
Update 2:
I have not yet started working on the application, but I know that its size is going to be big and its going to take time to load the application. This will be a javascript application, all the communication to web will be done mostly by API. APIs will be fast and it wont be slowing down the application. My main concern is the javascript library and the approach to the issue that I want to display the content of the page before the application is loaded and load the application in background.
As second example: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/a-journey-through-middle/gjgkjeheegjnnmheaflhdocglkiegoni?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon
If you open this link in chrome, it will load the application and then load the specific content in a popup. I want to load the content of the popup first and then load the application in background. How should I write my application to achieve that.
My suggestion (and I say this as I start to do similar vs. having proven it successful) would be to make some level of framework fairly static so that users get an almost instant response to the site loaded and then start the angular app with something like this
angular.bootstrap(document.getElementById("container"), ["app"])
Ref for the api - https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/function/angular.bootstrap
Ref for a demonstration of this - https://egghead.io/lessons/angularjs-angular-bootstrap-app-init
My expectation then is that you will be able to
Load your static elements quickly (which will just have placeholders for your content/material)
Access the data you want in the order you want to get it to present on the screen
Release any other part of the app you need to chrome it up/decorate or populate side items.
I'd like to use the Notification API to create toast notifications for a Silverlight app designed to run both in and out of the browser, but the NotificationWindow class is only available OOB.
Does there exist anything that can replicate the behaviour inside the app? My idea is to have a container in the bottom right of the screen overlaying all other content. Then, create a wrapper which detects OOB-mode, passing params to the Notification API if possible, or populating and showing my own container if not. Is there anything that does this available?
It seems strange that MS chose not to implement something like this, as has been pointed out before.
Displaying a notification in browser is simple. You just need to use a popup and make it appear in the right place. See the following post as an example.
Now the difference with that approach is that the notification will show inside the browser. In OOB it shows outside the window and it's visible even if the windows is minimized. Due to security reasons it's not possible to directly do this.
Out of interest, Chrome Applications like Tweetdeck and Gmail, are able to display notifications outside of the browser. I think this might be a possiblity, but not exactly a Silverlight and cross browser solution.
I can present multiple pages in Silverlight using
Content = new DetailsPage();
However is this can be confusing to a user who may not even know the page is in Silverlight and would be expecting to hit the back button on the browser.
Obviously I can add my own buttons but this doesn't seem right.
How can I allow "normal" browser navigation using the back/forwards button?
In Silverlight 2, you can still handle navigation. It's just a more manual process.
Call
HtmlPage.Window.NavigateToBookmark("blah");
to add the "#blah" to the end of the URL.
Call
string bookmark = HtmlPage.Window.CurrentBookmark;
to find out where you currently are. People are also tying into jquery/Asp.net AJAX libraries to use their navigation support.
In Silverlight 3, you can use the Navigation Framework to do some of this automatically. File->New Project->Silverlight Navigation Project.
You should really formulate a question.
I'll assume that you want to know how to achieve multi-page navigation with browser back-button support.
There one simple answer, which is to use Silverlight 3 where it is supported out of the box, as well as in-app navigation using the address bar.
Release date is set for july 10, so there's not much longer to wait.
Be careful, you cannot at the moment install both Silverlight 2 and 3 on one machine, and there is no end-user plugin available (only developper runtimes, to install manually).
