Drop dialog on a list page not disappearing automatically - axapta

When I add a drop-dialog to a list page, the drop dialog drops down when I click on it, but does not disappear when I click somewhere else.
I am trying to add my own drop-dialog, but I can reproduce this issue with standard Dynamics AX objects. I guess I am just missing some property on an object, but I just cannot figure out which one.
If you want to reproduce my problem in order to solve it, do the following:
Create a new Form. (Form 1)
Change the FormTemplate property to ListPage (Click on Yes)
Add the query MainAccountListPage to the DataSources
Create an ActionPanTab.
Add a Drop-dialog button with the menu item MainAccountListPageBalanceParameters.
Save and open the new List page by right clicking and choosing open. (or open the menu item)
In my case, when I click on Parameters, the drop dialog drops down. When I then click outside the drop-dialog, it disappears as it should.
Create a new display menu item. Set the object to the new list page (Form 1)
Drag the Menu item to any menu. I added mine to General ledger (Common)
Restore, open new workspace. Click on the new menu item in the general ledger menu.
Click on “parameters” and click outside the drop dialog.
When I do this the drop dialog does not disappear again. You can see this same drop dialog working fine on the Main Accounts list page. I have tried changing properties on both menu items, on the menu, on the form etc. I have tried different drop dialogs and different list pages. It always works on the details page and when opened from the AOT.
Am I missing a property? Is the entire way I am adding the drop dialog wrong?

The answer to the above example is.. add the MainAccountDetailPart Form part to the list page's (Form1) Parts.
With my other example, EcoResProductPerCompanyListPage, I had to add the EcoResProductVariantsPerCompanyFactBox to Parts.
I have no idea why this is, but adding a part to a list page fixes the drop dialogs. For example, adding MainAccountDetailPart Form part to a new list page not only fixes the MainAccountListPageBalanceParameters in my example, but it also fixes any other drop dialog that previously did not want to close. Removing the part the breaks all the drop dialogs in the list page again.
Thanks, FH-Inway, for the suggestion, I would have never have found the answer without your method. The solution really surprised me!

Want to re-instantiate a component when navigating to same aux route

I have a list of items with Actions drop-down for each item in the left-section of page. I also have a right rail which displays a different component based on action type selected. I'm using aux-route to accomplish this.
One of the Action the user can take is "edit" where in a form is displayed to edit the metadata of the list item. While editing, user can click on + button next to some of the input field to add another input field dynamically.
Now my problem is, when the edit-form is open for a list item and I click edit on another item in the list, I wanted my edit-component to be re-instantiated.
Because the aux-route is same for all the list items for edit-action, edit-view is not instantiated once again. Is there a way to achieve it?
Right now fixed it with RouteReuseStrategy

Data Binding issue while navigation & routing?

Today I faced a strange issue (could be a silly one) for data binding while navigating to 2nd view which is showing List of data coming from OData model and Panel at the bottom
I have replicate the code into this link - http://plnkr.co/edit/ClZqvo?p=info (You can run this as well through RUN on the Top) - Kindly run it in chrome with disabled security (Due to CORS issue)
Now the problem is when I am navigating to 2nd view (OData Table) and then Select any List Item, you will see in the bottom, the Panel will reflect the selected item (as I have used BindElement method to bind the path). After this I clicked back and then my 1st view will appear (JSON table) again I clicked on Next Button and then 2nd view will appear again. When I select the same item which I have selected previously then this time Panel will not show the selected items. This issue is coming only when I navigate back and forth and select the same item. Not able to understand what caused this?
But if I choose any other item then it will show me the selected item.
Anyone having any idea about this?

This is common issue when using bindElement, I have faced it too. It might be failing to resolve context of referenced entity. So, fields are not binded with respective values.
As a alternative you can use setBindingContext to bind fields within panel.
Since you are using named model, it should be specified as argument to setBindingContext.
So your code will be like
onSelect: function(oEvent) {
var oContext = oEvent.getSource().getBindingContext("odataModel");
var oProductDetailPanel = this.getView().byId("prodDetailsPanel");
oProductDetailPanel.setBindingContext(oContext, "odataModel");
}

Looking for a vb.net code to add existing buttons/text boxes/drop down lists, etc. to a container, or holder?

I'm using vb.net. Basically, I have a drop down list, text box and a submit button. You choose a movie director from a drop down list, then type in a movie, click button and it adds the data to my database.
There's another button which hides/shows drop down list, text box and submit button using Visible = True and Visible = False, but what I don't like about it is when it hides the things I said before, it leaves some white/empty space like if they are still there, but not visible.
Is there anyway to put some kind of holder/container and place a button which when clicked could add my drop down list, text box and submit buttons to that place?

I assume that you are working with WinForms in Visual Studio. In the Toolbox the controls which could help you out of this situation are in the "Containers" section. Among others, there is a Panel, a FlowLayoutPanel and a TableLayoutPanel (see this video on msdn for a TableLayoutPanel Demo). They can help you to organize controls. Especially the FlowLayoutPanel places the controls automatically. But you can always change the Top and the Left properties of any control, to move them around to the desired place or group some of them on a Panel and change the Location of this one one.
You can add a control to a container by using the Add method of its Controls property. However, if the control is already on the form (since you are asking how to add an existing control) you must remove it from the form before.
Me.Controls.Remove(myButton)
panel1.Controls.Add(myButton)

Flex form inside Pop up window - Tab (order) between forms not working

when user clicks on Add button, then a pop up button will be opened with certain form elements (like textinput, date field, text area).. When i used 'TAB' inside this form,it is not working. I found in couple of Questions / forums that we need to create an instance of FocusManager and then bring/activate focus for the pop up. But still i didn't see the tab working inside the form. In order to tab order working inside a pop up, what steps we need to follow.
I tried using focusmanager and property like tabfocusenabled, tabenabled and also added taborder inside each form element. But no luck.
Iam using Flash Builder 4.5 and using spark components for development.
Is there any workaround for this problem?
Thanks in Advance,

Thanks for all your responses.
Finally the issue has been solved by one of my colleague. Problem is , the form has been loaded inside Horizontal accordion (flexlib HACCORDION). So inorder to draw focus inside the accordion to child elements, we need to add 'hasFocusableChildren="true"' for the HAccordion (horizontal accordion component). Adding this property solves the tab order problem.
I have also pasted the code below:

Drop down menu in Drupal

I have created one page and added called list as main menu to it.
Afterwards, I created a second page and added that page as the child of the first page. Now I want to show the second page in the menu link, in the form of a drop down. If I hover my mouse over the list, it displays list1 as sub. My problem is that I cannot get list1 into a Drupal variable.
Please help.
Try superfish. If you want to change the order then create a new menu and select the item accordingly.
