Does the Dialog ID change from one machine to another?
It cannot change, your code would never be able to find the dialog template back in the resources.

I have a form designed with the GUI designer with input textfields and buttons. I have attached actions to the buttons. When I call up the form with showForm(Form,null), the textfields are not accepting input and the buttons are not triggering the action. This is happening only for this form. Initially, there was the problem solved here Unable to call a specific form from a button in codenameone and then the problem solved here Simulator keeps defaulting to old Main form. What could be the issue now?
As far as I know there may be some issues as you say, but first need to see code
In the form after you added the text fields did you select the text field component and press action event?
Assuming you did that you should get a callback method in the Statemachine class.
This call will be invoked only when the user changes the content of the text field. You can run in the debugger and set breakpoints/step into code to see what is going on.
I have an application(Winform, TAB based MDI application), now we are adding few features. These Features are developed in WPF. A new form contains Element host, which will host this WPF User control. This newly added Form is displayed in every Tab's one corner. When application minimizes/Maximizes events are trigger, through these I am able to show or hide this new form. Also, this new form's Topmost Property is set true.
But when main form is still showing and when another application(like a note pad) is opened, the newly added form displayed over this notepad. The new form supposed to go behind the notepad, but it is always top.
Any suggestion on how to send it back.
Thank you,
Selected answer from
Detect when application becomes active post solved my problem.
I am also capturing
main.Deactivate += new EventHandler(main_Deactivate);
Thank you.
Like the title said,how may i turn the grid(or page) and the components in it into background gray and unable and show a new component in foreground.
It's a common effect in the web page,but i cannot do that with a xaml.
Please answer in detail better with sample code if you do.Thanks in advance.
Here's an example of using a Popup to display a UserControl when a Page is navigated to. The OnNavigatedTo function creates a popup, binds a Click event to the UserControl, and then shows the UserControl over the entire page. If the correct password is entered, ("password" in the example) the control disappears. You'll need to modify it for your own requirements, but it should definitely get you started.

You'll want to use the VisualStateManager and create some animation transitions to switch between the old and new components. I won't paste the code here for brevity, but if you check out:

You'll see a simple example of switching between two UI components on a single page within a Windows Phone 7 PhoneApplicationPage. In your scenario, you'd use this paradigm to create 2 animation storyboards, one for showing an overlay control and one for settings the 'disabled' property on the main grid.
Adding a new Form in the project creates a default form with default properties. I have to change them manually, but in all my project I have the same properties (font, background color, etc.).
Is there a way I can change the default Ide template for Forms?
Not using inheritance as Adrian recommended is a mistake. It is the right way to do it because you can in one fell swoop change every form in your app by editing the base form properties.
But you want to change the template. That's easy to do as well. Start a new scratch project with one Form and change the properties you want to have customized. Click File + Export Template. Select Item template, Next. Tick the form, Next. Next. Give it a good name and description and click Finish. You can now select that template whenever you create a new form.
Create your own form control that is derived from the base one and has all the properties set just like you want them, then you can use this one all over your project. Also changing something will be very easy since you'll have to do it only in one place.
This is a bit of a strange one, but I've been struggling for a few hours now and I can't understand what is happening.
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem, and can perhaps explain it. I'm building a simple Winforms app and trying to use many of the built in controls.
Basically, I've got a form with a user control and some data capture fields. 3 of the fields are dropdown lists and on the user control I have a bindingSource control that binds directly to a Product class.
At run time I provide an instance of the Product class to the BindingSource and the class contains a property of ProductType. For simplicity I also added a List<ProductType> ProductTypes to the Product Class which loads itself when queried, which means I can just use the same bindingSource and choose the ProductTypes Data Member as the Datasource for the dropdownlist.
Upon running the form, the list binds perfectly and I can see all the product types listed, and I can select one and tab or click to the next field. But obviously the selected value won't bind because I've not chosen any bindings-SelectedValue for the dropdown, only a datasource. As soon as I make sure that the drop down modifies the instance of the Product by binding to the Bindings-SelectedValue, and then run the form, the list still gets populated perfectly and I can tab through the controls as long as I don't make a selection from the dropdown. If I make a selection from the dropdown then the dropdown holds focus. I cannot tab out for love or money and can't even click cancel button on the form, the close button top right is the only button I can click which works and I can't click any other field or dropdown. This affects all three dropdowns as soon as a selection is made.
Anyone have any ideas what I'm missing?
I have tried changing a few things and had some success by feeding the dropdown values a string[] instead of a member of an object. That seems to work, but defeats the object of using databinding doesn't it?
Any help appreciated!
Just guessing here, because I don't have time to set up a test and confirm right now, but are you doing any validating? I seem to remember that data-bound controls won't let you leave if the contents don't validate. Even if you aren't explicitly, try setting CausesValidation to False to see if there's any sort of validation going on behind the scenes, that might at least give you a hint.
Thanks for the input on this, helped me wrap my head around this.
In my case, it turns out that an exception was being thrown in one of the EventHadlers for my ComboBox.Validating event. It was hard to track down, because the IDE didn't show me that exception. I was able to modify the Exception behavior (in the debug menu) and have it show me any InvalidOperationException that was being thrown, and then I was able to track it down.
As Tom suggested, turning off CuasesValidation was the ticket to figuring it out.
For Infragisticst Dropdowns (may not be true for other winform dropdowns): If you have "LimitToList" set to true you can be stuck in a dropdown that you can't get out of without realizing it. Use the ItemNotInList even to trigger a warning message.
