fullcalendar removeEventSource is not working - fullcalendar

I'm using FullCalendar v2.3.0,
When I click a date, background color of the cell is changed as 'its booked', Its working perfectly with addEventSource,(stored selected date in an array)
when im clicking once agian to the selected date, need to change the background color of the cell as white (available for booking),
How to remove the cell color as original?
How to remove the event using .fullCalendar( 'removeEventSource', source ) for a particular date...
select: function (start, end, jsEvent, view, cell, calEvent) {
if (jQuery.inArray(moment(start).format('YYYY-MM-DD'), sel_dates) == -1) {
sel_dates.push(moment(start).format('YYYY-MM-DD'));
$("#calendar").fullCalendar('addEventSource', [{
start: start,
end: end,
rendering: 'background'
}]);
}
else {
sel_dates.pop(moment(start).format('YYYY-MM-DD'));
// Here i need to change the cell background color
}
}

The correct method signature for select is function( start, end, jsEvent, view, [ resource ] ). See https://fullcalendar.io/docs/selection/select_callback. I don't know where you got the idea that it contained either "cell" or "calEvent"?
A selected area could be across multiple cells, so you can't change the background colour directly like this. Anyway, even if you could, this would make no difference, because you'd have to remove the event you previously added that is on top of the cells. An event is not merely some background colour - even a "background" event is actually an object that needs to be managed, although it may have the appearance of just a colour change.
Some suggestions:
1) I wouldn't add a whole event source just to create one event. An event source is intended to split large groups of events into logical blocks to make it easier to manage them, or fetch them from different servers.
Instead use renderEvent to create a new single event. https://fullcalendar.io/docs/event_rendering/renderEvent/. If you have any existing event sources you can optionally specify the ID of one to include it into.
2) To remove the event, as I've explained you can't just revert the background colour, you need to remove the actual event itself. You also can't use the "select" callback for this, because you can't be sure that the user will select the same sized area which actually matches any particular event.
One obvious way to allow deletion is to handle the "eventClick" callback (https://fullcalendar.io/docs/mouse/eventClick/) and ask the user to confirm whether they want to delete. If they agree, you can call the "removeEvents" method (https://fullcalendar.io/docs/event_data/removeEvents/) passing the ID of the event that the user clicked on.

VS windows forms

I was just wondering is there a less bloating and simpler way of clearing input elements say made up of text boxes, check boxes and combo boxes to a empty state, that being removing text from them etc. I have like maybe 50+ and was hoping of a tidier way of doing this.
Another scenario I have is a set of 18+ elements, each set having 2 text boxes and 2 check boxes, one being an 'enabled' check box that when selected will enable/disable its set. Would there be a way of creating a method to handle this and make the required changes rather than having to type out the same thing happening for each set?
if (cbEnhancedInputOptionEnabled1.Checked == true)
{
tbEnhancedInputOptionText1.Enabled = true;
tbEnhancedInputOptionInputID1.Enabled = true;
cbEnhancedInputOptionDefaultState1.Enabled = true;
}
else
{
tbEnhancedInputOptionText1.Enabled = false;
tbEnhancedInputOptionInputID1.Enabled = false;
cbEnhancedInputOptionDefaultState1.Enabled = false;
}
so I would have 18 of these just changing based on the number which correlates to the set. Each one being in their own cbEnhancedOptionEnabled_CheckedChanged event.
Is there a way of passing controls by reference to a method? that'll do the same as above but to the controls passed?
For the first scenario, you can create a method named, for example, ResetAllControls, where you can set the status of each control to its default state.
For the second scenario, you may implement CheckedChanged event for each checkbox to control what to be enabled/disabled.
Another option is to give prefixed name for each control in each set. For example, set1_txtBox, set2_ddl, etc. Then define a common method. The method should accept a parameter (based on the prefix or set order number) to decide which set that you want to enable/disable. In that method, you can loop through the list of controls of the Form and, based on the parameter, and enable/disable which controls that you wish. Finally, you can implement the CheckedChanged event for each checkbox that is responsible for enabling/disabling each set's status. In each CheckedChanged method, you call the common method and pass your parameter.
Let me know if these help you.

QT Creator: Trigger a Slot with Code?

I may have worked myself into a corner but this sounded to me like a good idea at the time.
I have been developing an interface that permits a user to modify settings of a robotic device, i.e. speed, directions, force, etc. with a very large series of options in the form of ComboBoxes. The problem is that there are about a thousand of these things, in sub categories. e.g. Speed category x1, x2, x3, Y1, y2, etc. So rather than create a thousand comboboxes in QT, I thought the good idea was to create one set of 50 (ish) and then provide a few button to switch between categories. So when the user selects speed QT, populates the comboboxes with the appropriate options, sets the style sheets and text for the labels etc. So it appears as though a dedicated page exists. Then if the user selects Direction, QT Writes the current index of each box to a dedicated array and then repopulates the boxes, labels etc with the appropriate content. I then do this over and over for the various needs of the system.
All of that seems to work fine. However I am now in a bind where the options provided to navigate to each page have grown. For instance I have forward / backward buttons (like you woudl expect in a set-up wizard), as well as action menus at the top to jump to a page. So now the code is becoming very repetitious. If you select the next button, I write the current values to array, then repopulate. If you jump to the page from anywhere, I look to see where I am, write it to array, and populate the boxes. Thus if I need to change anything I have to make the change in numerous places in the code.
I know that this is not optimal. What I woudl like to do is run a continuous loop as I woudl normally do with Micros in C. So the program can look at a variable in each pass and if it is then it does. I am not however skilled enough to figure this loop out in QT. So my new thought was...
Is it possible to trigger an action or slot with a variable. For example, if the user presses the Next button it triggers a slot for a button that does not exist, so that QT will execute a particular line of Code? Then I can have 1 dedicated section focused on reading and writing boxes, with a bunch of actions that will take me there.
You can make a signal that is triggered with an emit call in your code, so you'd hook up the next button signal of clicked to a slot that does some work and moves on, or directly calls another signal that you've created that triggers a slot elsewhere, or do some work in a lambda triggered by the button press.
I would first load all the ComboBoxes options in a QStringList array (or maybe an array of QList<QLatin1String> lists - for memory saving and code efficiency).
Then I would keep an array of a 1000 integers for current ComboBox indexes.
When the user changes a value in some ComboBox, the currentIndexChanged signal will trigger the corresponding slot (a single slot for all the ComboBoxes would be enough - sender()->objectName() to get the name of the ComboBox which had sent the signal):
void WindowWidget::on_ComboBox_currentIndexChanged(int index)
{
name = sender()->objectName();
/* here change the corresponding integer in the current
indexes array */
}
On Next/Back button push repopulate the ComboBoxes. Also, provide some 'Save' button for saving the ComboBoxes indexes (or trigger the Save slot on some action, i.e. on window close either even on a timer signal).

Lightswitch HTML databinding to a details collection

I have a simple master/details relationship where one order can have multiple revenue allocations. The order has a collection that contains these.
I want to sum a property in my revenue allocation objects and ensure that it adds up to my order total. However, if I databind on the count property of the allocations collection this gets called when you first add an empty object and not when that object has been populated. So an empty allocation is added at the time the "Add allocation" screen is created and the databind function called. That of course means that when the save button on the "Add allocation" screen is clicked, the databind function isn't called again.
Anyone got any ideas? I basically want my databind function to be called when the save button is clicked in the "add screen" and not before.
This is the HTML client - NOT Silverlight
I'm pretty sure that the solution would be to use an OData query to get your aggregate data within the databinding function of the save button - or perhaps a separate button (e.g. "Tally Order Totals"). Exactly how you do that? A bit too hard for me to answer right now, but start with a new button TallyOrderTotals and a new data field for your total. Edit the post_render event for TallyOrderTotals and lookup the allocations in the javascript in which you data bind the value of the new data field.
Somewhere you will need a piece of code that looks something like this:
myapp.activeDataWorkSpace.<datasource>.RevenueAllocations
.filter("OrderID eq " + msls._toODataString(<orderID>, ":String"))
.execute()
.then(function (result) {
// assign the result somewhere
}
I'm not saying that's something you can cut-and-paste - but definitely look at the msls.js documentation and see what you can do with querying your data inside the event context.
One quick point however - if you only need to calculate that total as a verification step, consider doing it in the SaveExecuting() event on the server side. This will allow you to throw an exception back up the tree to your HTML page which the msls.js script should render on the client side.
Hope that helps. :)

flex how to refresh already created view

How can I refresh view after a certain event?
I have a view which contains multiple groups. I want to show or hide some groups.
onCreationComplete() or initialize() method works only at the beginning of the view creation.
Try invalidateDisplayList() on the view
Let me know if that doesn't do the trick and we'll try some other tricks.
I personally don't like the answer that says to call invalidateDisplayList (sorry no offense Nate nothing personal). I feel it's too vague and doesn't explain what this does under the hood and furthermore you shouldn't have to call it directly in cases such as the one explained in the OPs question. You can simply create booleans that are bindable for each of the groups you'd like to show/hide then in the event handler set those booleans to the appropriate value and if they are bound to the visible and include in layout properties of the containers those containers will internally call invalidateDisplayList after calling set visible and consequently commitProperties.
This is basically what happens under the hood as I understand it: The way this works is values aren't committed or used to update the display until the next frame this way it doesn't get bogged down doing unnecessary layout calculations. So you update the bindable property which fires an event which triggers a notification in the listener (in this case a function that sets the property on your control), that in turn passes along the value to the control which sets an internal flag to update the property and calls invalidateProperties. When it hits the next frame redraw it sees that the properties flag is dirty (true) and then calls commitProperties, this computes/sets the appropriate values (possibly also invalidating then "fixing" the size using invalidateSize() and measure()) and calls invalidateDisplayList, then during the same frame it sees that the display list flag is dirty so it calls updateDisplayList, here it uses the values of the properties to draw appropriately.
You should also be able to achieve this using states, which add or remove children from the display list based on an array of "actions" for each state.

How to determine last deselected item in a TileList?

My TileList has allowMultipleSelection on. I am using itemClick to call a function. I can use listEvent.currentTarget.selectedItem to determine what object was just clicked on if I am selecting, but when I ctrl + click to deselect an item, it automatically selects something else in the TileList, thus changing the selectedItem. It seems like ctrl + clicking to deselect changes the target before the itemClick function is run. Is there a way to figure out what was just deselected?
I can use selectedItems to get the same end functionality I need. However, I am concerned about performance when the selectedItems collection gets really long. We are using blazeds to send the data back and forth and it would be much faster if we sent the one item that was added/removed then the whole thing each time.
I'm a bit surprised that you seem to be saying that "itemClick" isn't being dispatched in each case. I wonder if you should try listening to the "change" event instead?
What about adding a property called "previouslySelectedItems" and doing a comparison between that and "selectedItems" to figure out what changed? After the comparison is done, set previouslySelectedItems = selectedItems.
