Using Filemerge how to you get to see the lower pane. The one with the results in? - filemerge

You know, you do a clean install and the pane at the bottom has disappeared.
I loved that pane.

See that little dot. Click on it and you can pull the window into view.
Life is better now.

Looking for an elegant multi-state (open/close/pin/hover) side drawer react component to recommend for my dev team to reference. I'm UX - whacha got?

Examples I have found show OPEN/PIN and CLOSE (a la side-nav/menu) but nothing that includes a hover or a floating state. Think JIRA side menu, where the left panel overlaps the page contents/backlog table, where youhover and look where you are and then it closes on you....that comes the closest to an example to what I'm looking for.
Example of Jira panel
Only, I'd like to have a 3-click + hover system:
1-click to pin (ie: have page contents responsive 'stick' to the panel)
1-click to float (ie: have page contents scroll behind the floating open panel)
1 click to close.
I'd also like the ability to hover over the closed panel and have it open.
I know I'm asking a lot....
If you find an example, I need to be able to see a working example of react libraries without a dev computer - I'm on a mac. We're building a component library together and I need to see what's out there and available as a source (starting point) so that we can then discuss tweaks and changes for our use.
I love sites like this: https://www.ag-grid.com/react-data-grid/
or this: https://reactjsexample.com/
That provide me with a menu and examples to click though so that I can speak intelligently with my team and have proper visuals and examples.
Anything you find that has this functionality would be great... thank you!

DevExpress: Adding a revert button to a tab pane

I have this requirement for a project that I can't seem to think of an idea on how to do it. Basically, I would like to add some kind of revert button beside the header of a DevExpress Tab Pane. I have below a sample image on what I wanted to achieve. Anybody can point me out if this design is possible?

Is there a Tool Tip for CodenameOne?

Is there a button property that is analogous to swing's tool tip? I want the user to be able to long press a button and see a message describing the button, but I can't find any such property. (The button doesn't and can't have a visible name.) Tool tips are so useful to users, so I assumed there must be one, but I can't find it.
The ToastBar (https://www.codenameone.com/blog/toastbar-gaussian-blur.html) might work.
There was also an old demo using the GlassPane for a tutorial overlay which allowed some quite neat effects. Can't find it on the CN1 website now though.

Silverlight - How to implement this functionality? Nice feature

I don't know what this is called in SL, but I would like to replicate this functionality. If you go to this site: http://www.mscui.com/PatientJourneyDemonstrator/PrimaryCareAdmin.htm and click on the "Show Details" button located on the top, right-hand corder of the screen. When you click on this, there should be a "Scene Details" button-like feature on the right side. When you click on this, this is what I would like to implement. Can someone direct me please? Either to an online article, etc...
I'm not precisely sure what feature of the site you'r referring to (I'm blind so the description doesn't make much sense to me). However, two useful links - some of the MSCUI source code is available on Codeplex http://mscui.codeplex.com. Also, the Silverlight developer/designer on this project created Blacklight http://blacklight.codeplex.com which includes visual assets to use with Silverlight.
Although I don't know the specifics of the implementation, as far as I can guess, this is done by having a second Grid that follows the Grid for the page. Then, simply change the visiblity on the "guide" grid when the button toggles.
I believe that is simple, although it'll require you to work to figure out the positioning of the underlying page - but it's more flexible. With Blend it'll be easy.
Alternatively you could have a ton of additional UI elements on the page next to their respective controls, and either Tag or name them in a way that you can iterate over them to control visibility and interaction.
I think you're talking about a the grey overlay with a modal window on top. I think the best way to do that in Silverlight 3 is with the ChildWindow control.

How can I make a Windows Explorer file preview screen in WPF?

I'm working on an application that will have attachments, and I would like to create a type of display like in windows Explorer, where you choose a "Details" view, and also show the preview pane.
I would like to be able to show a thumbnail view of the attached file currently selected, based on the file extension.
Does anyone know where I can start to look for examples on how to pull this off?
I know Outlook 2007 can also do something similar using preview handlers. I think that’s going to be the direction I want to go in, but I'm not sure where to start.
Many thanks.
All Hail the Glory of the Hypnotoad!
While you could do it in WPF, you should not do it.
Seriously: don't do it! - you would break many apps (including one of mine).
To do this without .NET, see here for a nice guide.
I think you can start here

(the code is partially black on black, at least for me, but you can disable the styles or just copy it)
