How do I get the selected value (either the string, or an int reference) from a Gtk.ComboBox in mono? All I can find is stuff about using iterators. Why isn't there a function to simply fetch the value (or is there)?
For (int) index you can use:
comboBox.Active;
and for text:
comboBox.ActiveText;
to get the selected value in a GTK+ combo box I used:
TreeIter tree;
comboBox.GetActiveIter(out tree);
TreeModel = comboBox.Model ();
String selectedText = (String) comboBox.Model.GetValue (tree, 0);
"comboBox" is the GTK combo box.
I hope this will help.

Problem: When I select a check box (in Column '1'), the OnSelection event should find a Label on Column '0' in the same Row, but I am getting:
System.InvalidCastException: 'Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Controls.CheckBox' to type 'System.Windows.Controls.Label'.'
I am initializing the view as such:
Label lbName = new() { Content = "labelName" };
Grid.SetColumn(lbName, 0);
GrWindow.Children.Add(lbName);
CheckBox ckSelection = new();
ckSelection.Checked += OnSelection;
Grid.SetColumn(ckSelection, 1);
GrWindow.Children.Add(ckSelection);
And on the OnSelection method, where the exception is triggered:
string? labelName = GrWindow.Children.
Cast<Label>().
First(e => Grid.GetRow(e) == row && Grid.GetColumn(e) == 0).
Content as string;
In other place in my app, I am using a very similar approach to get a name from Row '0' and works fine.
There is only one children on every row/column = '0', and its a label, I dont know how to debug such situations, since the checkbox is on column='1'.
Thanks in advance.
Replace
.Cast<Label>()
with
.OfType<Label>()
to get only the Labels.
Otherwise you are trying to cast all child elements to Label, which will of course fail for the CheckBox.
An alternative to querying the Children collection might be to assign the associated Label to the Tag property of the CheckBox
ckSelection.Tag = lblName;
and get it back in the event handler by
var checkBox = (CheckBox)sender;
val label = (Label)checkBox.Tag;
Derived from Jeff S's methodology found here, I can add a "Checkbox" to a PDF page like so:
PdfPTable tblFirstRow = new PdfPTable(5);
tblFirstRow.SpacingBefore = 4f;
tblFirstRow.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_LEFT;
. . . // code where textboxes are added has been elided for brevity
PdfPCell cell204Submitted = new PdfPCell()
{
CellEvent = new DynamicCheckbox("checkbox204Submitted", "204 Submitted or on file")
};
tblFirstRow.AddCell(cell204Submitted);
doc.Add(tblFirstRow);
The DynamicCheckbox class, based on Jeff S's CustomCellLayout class, is:
public class DynamicCheckbox : IPdfPCellEvent
{
private string fieldname;
private string cap;
public DynamicCheckbox(string name, String caption)
{
fieldname = name;
cap = caption;
}
public void CellLayout(PdfPCell cell, Rectangle rectangle, PdfContentByte[] canvases)
{
PdfWriter writer = canvases[0].PdfWriter;
RadioCheckField ckbx = new RadioCheckField(writer, rectangle, fieldname, "Yes");
ckbx.CheckType = RadioCheckField.TYPE_CHECK;
ckbx.Text = cap;
PdfFormField field = ckbx.CheckField;
writer.AddAnnotation(field);
}
}
My problem is that the checkbox's text (the string assigned to ckbx.Text) is not displaying. The checkbox (outsized) occupies the last cell in the table row, but there is no (visible) accompanying text.
What's missing from my code?
Note: I tried to reduce the size of the checkbox by doing this:
Rectangle tangle = new Rectangle(20, 20);
//RadioCheckField ckbx = new RadioCheckField(writer, rectangle, fieldname, "Yes");
RadioCheckField ckbx = new RadioCheckField(writer, tangle, fieldname, "Yes");
...but that attempt failed - with that code, I can't even "find" the checkbox in the generated PDF file - clicking willy-nilly in column 5 conjures up no checkbox...
Others have answered the label part. The Rectangle that you have called "tangle" needs to be calculated off of the rectangle that comes into the event handler, similar to
Rectangle tangle = new Rectangle(
rectangle.Left,
rectangle.Top - PDFStyle.boxsize - 4.5f,
rectangle.Left + PDFStyle.boxsize,
rectangle.Top - 4.5f
);
Where PDFStyle.boxsize is the width/height of the checkbox and 4.5f is the padding the edge of the cell. Basically the rectangle isn't relative to the cell, but absolute to the page.
As described in ISO-32000-1, a check box is a field of type Button. If you define text for a button, you want to define the text that is displayed on the button. However: in the case of a check box, there is no such text! Instead, you have two appearances, one for the Off value and one for the Yes value.
An educated guess made by an attentive reader would be that you don't want to add text (to the button), but that you want to add a label (for a checkbox). Again you should consult ISO-32000-1 and you'll discover that the spec doesn't say anything about labels for check boxes. The concept just doesn't exist at the level of an AcroForm.
This doesn't mean the concept doesn't exist in general. Many PDF tools allow you to define check boxes that are preceded by a label. When you look inside the PDF, you'll discover that this label is just part of the content, whereas the check box is represented by a widget orientation.
Let's take a look at the official documentation instead of frustrating ourselves searching on every place of the web except on the official web site. More specifically: let's take a look at the Buttons example from Chapter 7 of my book. You'll see that one can set text for a real button:
PushbuttonField button = new PushbuttonField(writer, rect, "Buttons");
button.setText("Push me");
This isn't possible with check boxes (for the obvious reason that the appearance of a check box is completely different). If we want to add a label, we can add it for instance like this:
checkbox = new RadioCheckField(writer, rect, LANGUAGES[i], "Yes");
field = checkbox.getCheckField();
field.setAppearance(PdfAnnotation.APPEARANCE_NORMAL, "Off", onOff[0]);
field.setAppearance(PdfAnnotation.APPEARANCE_NORMAL, "Yes", onOff[1]);
writer.addAnnotation(field);
ColumnText.showTextAligned(canvas, Element.ALIGN_LEFT,
new Phrase(LANGUAGES[i], font), 210, 790 - i * 40, 0);
You can find the C# version of these examples here: http://tinyurl.com/itextsharpIIA2C07
Creating a checkbox, and then accompanying text to its right, can be done like this:
PdfPCell cell204Submitted = new PdfPCell()
{
CellEvent = new DynamicCheckbox("checkbox204Submitted")
};
tblFirstRow.AddCell(cell204Submitted);
// . . . Chunks and an anchor created; that code has been elided for brevity
Paragraph parCkbxText = new Paragraph();
parCkbxText.Add(Chunk204SubmittedPreamble);
parCkbxText.Add(ChunkBoldNote);
parCkbxText.Add(Chunk204Midsection);
parCkbxText.Add(anchorPayeeSetup204);
PdfPCell cellCkbxText = new PdfPCell(parCkbxText);
cellCkbxText.BorderWidth = PdfPCell.NO_BORDER;
tblFirstRow.AddCell(cellCkbxText);
public class DynamicCheckbox : IPdfPCellEvent
{
private string fieldname;
public DynamicCheckbox(string name)
{
fieldname = name;
}
public void CellLayout(PdfPCell cell, Rectangle rectangle, PdfContentByte[] canvases)
{
PdfWriter writer = canvases[0].PdfWriter;
RadioCheckField ckbx = new RadioCheckField(writer, rectangle, fieldname, "Yes");
ckbx.CheckType = RadioCheckField.TYPE_CHECK;
ckbx.BackgroundColor = BaseColor.ORANGE;
ckbx.FontSize = 6;
ckbx.TextColor = BaseColor.WHITE;
PdfFormField field = ckbx.CheckField;
writer.AddAnnotation(field);
}
}
I am using GWT combobox with Select item (dropdown checkbox)
I want to make some items defaultly checked, but i cant find any solutions..
#Override
protected void success(List<warehouseDTO> t)
{
warehouse_list = t;
for (int i = 0; i < warehouse_list.size(); i++)
{
whl.put(warehouse_list.get(i).getId() + "", warehouse_list.get(i).getName());
}
selectItemMultiplePickList.setValueMap(whl);
selectComboForm.setItems(selectItemMultiplePickList);
}
On new "Article" (thing in warehouse) its good, but on edit i need to have checked by default.
Maybe its posible with setAttribute but cant find list of attributes.
Thanks
You should use the following:
setValues(values);
Here values accepts multiple String values.
Now as you're doing:
whl.put(warehouse_list.get(i).getId() + "", warehouse_list.get(i).getName());
your key for the combobox will be warehouse_list.get(i).getId() and value will be warehouse_list.get(i).getName().
So to show multiple values as selected values, you need to pass multiple warehouse_list.get(i).getId() as values.
For example, if you want show first 3 values as selected, you can do the following:
selectItemMultiplePickList.setValues(
warehouse_list.get(0).getId(),
warehouse_list.get(1).getId(),
warehouse_list.get(2).getId());
I have 10 comboBox in a groupBox
for I just want to display a calculated value in respective comboBox like this say if I set a varible double i=08.00; then on button click cmboBox should display values like this
CB1-08.00
CB2-09.50
CB3-10.00
CB4-10.50
CB5-11.00
CB6-11.50
.... and so on upto CB10 But I am getting output like this
And Code
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
double i=08.00;
foreach (var comboBox in groupBox1.Controls.OfType<ComboBox>())
{
comboBox.Text = i.ToString("00.00");
i = i + 0.5;
}
}
Your combobox order is different in the collection so it inserts the numbers randomly. May be you can name your combobox for instance like cmb1,cmb2,cmb3 etc. and if you update your code it will run.
Your controls in the Controls collection are not sorted by their appearance on the form. You will need to find a way to sort them if you need different values in each based on their position.
Foreach loop doesn't give the collection in the order you wanted. The way to go forward is to give a tag id to each combo box, then you can use that to assign a value to them them.
So your first combo box will start with tag id 0, and the last one will have 8,
double val = 08.00;
for (int i = 0; i < groupBox1.Controls.Count; ++i)
{
var combobox = groupBox1.Controls[i] as ComboBox;
int tag = int.Parse(combobox.Tag.ToString());
double value = val + (0.5 * tag);
combobox.Text = value.ToString("00.00");
}
Make sure you tag the cobbo box in the order you wanted them.
I've read all the similiar posts about this darn control (DataGridViewComboBoxCell) and setting it's value programmatically but implementing all the suggestions hasn't worked. I could probably change the UI to get around this problem but I don't like to be beat!
private void PopulateAreaForRoleAssociation()
{
// If businessRoleList is null then no data has been bound to the dgv so return
if (businessRoleList == null)
return;
// Ensure businessArea repository is instantiated
if (businessAreaRepository == null)
businessAreaRepository = new BusinessAreaRespository();
// Get a reference to the combobox column of the dgv
DataGridViewComboBoxColumn comboBoxBusinessAreaColumn = (DataGridViewComboBoxColumn)dgvBusinessRole.Columns["BusinessArea"];
// Set Datasource properties to fill combobox
comboBoxBusinessAreaColumn.DisplayMember = "Name";
comboBoxBusinessAreaColumn.ValueMember = "Id";
comboBoxBusinessAreaColumn.ValueType = typeof(Guid);
// Fill combobox with businessarea objects from list out of repository
comboBoxBusinessAreaColumn.DataSource = businessAreaRepository.GetAll();
// loop through the businessRoles list which the dgv is bound to and get out each dgv row based upon the current id in the loop
businessRoleList.Cast<BusinessRole>().ToList().ForEach(delegate(BusinessRole currentRole)
{
DataGridViewRow currentRowForRole = dgvBusinessRole.Rows.Cast<DataGridViewRow>().ToList().Find(row => ((BusinessRole)row.DataBoundItem).Id == currentRole.Id);
// Get a reference to the comboBox cell in the current row
DataGridViewComboBoxCell comboBoxCell = (DataGridViewComboBoxCell)currentRowForRole.Cells[2];
// Not sure if this is necessary since these properties should be inherited from the combobox column properties
comboBoxCell.DisplayMember = "Name";
comboBoxCell.ValueMember = "Id";
comboBoxCell.ValueType = typeof(Guid);
// Get the business area for the current business role
BusinessArea currentAreaForRole = businessAreaRepository.FetchByRoleId(currentRole.Id);
// if the role has an associated area then set the value of the cell to be the appropriate item in the combobox
// and update the cell value
if (currentAreaForRole != null)
{
foreach (BusinessArea area in comboBoxCell.Items)
{
if (currentAreaForRole.Id == area.Id)
{
comboBoxCell.Value = area.Id;
dgvBusinessRole.UpdateCellValue(2, comboBoxCell.RowIndex);
}
}
}
});
}
The dgv is first bound to a binding list holding BusinessRole objects, then the combobox column is bound to a basic list of BusinessArea objects that come out of a repository class. I then loop through the bindinglist and pull out the row of the dgv that is bound to the current item in the bindinglist loop.
With that row I make a database call to see if the BusinessRole entity is associated with a BusinessArea entity. If it is then I want to select the item in the combobox column that holds the BusinessAreas.
The problem is that when the grid is loaded, all the data is there and the comboboxes are populated with a list of available areas, however any values that are set are not displayed. The code that sets the value is definately getting hit and the value I am setting definately exists in the list.
There are no data errors, nothing. It's just refusing to update the UI with the value I programmatically set.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as always.
Thanks
This code works for my first combo box I have in my row with the following code, but I try it with the next one in the row and it doesn't work. I could use the help with the rest I have 3 more to do. I do set the combo boxes on a second form from this form with the same code as is on the last line of the try block but using the cell information instead of the dataset
try
{
string strQuery = "select fundCode from vwDefaultItems where IncomeType = '" + stIncome + "'";
SqlDataAdapter daDefault = new SqlDataAdapter(strQuery, conn);
DataSet dsDefault = new DataSet();
daDefault.Fill(dsDefault);
strDefFund = dsDefault.Tables[0].Rows[0].ItemArray[0].ToString();
dgvCheckEntry.Rows[curRow].Cells[7].Value = dsDefault.Tables[0].Rows[0].ItemArray[0].ToString();
}
catch (Exception eq)
{
}
