I have a dialog based application. I have one static text control and a button on this, both of which I have made invisible in the beginning. I want to show both the controls on reaching a certain condition. When I click this button, again I want to make both the controls invisible.
However, I am able to show and hide the control and also captured the button click event like this:
ON_BN_CLICKED(IDC_MY_BUTTON, &MyDlg::OnBnClickedMyButton)
and defined OnBnClickedMyButton().
But when I press the button, it is not pressed and the event is also not generated.
Any suggestions?
First check if the IDC_MY_BUTTON exists and is valid.
Remember to add DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP() at the header file.
Also check at the BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(MyClass,MyParentClass) if the class
and the parent class you write are right.
I hope this helps.
I think the IDC_MY_BUTTON maybe is invalid or other control has the same ID.
Well, finally I have come to know that though the button was visible but on clicking it was not taking control, hence I used BringWindowToTop() to draw it on top. Now it is being clicked and OnBnClickedMyButton() is also being called.
But now the issue is that after calling BringWindowToTop() the button is not shown. It is shown only when I take the mouse pointer on it. Not able to understand what is the issue.

I'm trying to place a small label hinting the user the keyboard shortcut bound to it, which works fine.
The problem arises when I'm leaving the button. The label disappears, but not quite. If I try to click the button in the area the label "used" to be, it won't fire, indicating that's it's somehow still there. So I thought maybe buttons have a Leave event already built in that raises them to the top level. I decided to try and override that, and basically tell the button go (or better yet, just stay) below the key-hint label hit_button.bind("<Leave>", hit_button.lower(hit_button_keyhint), to no avail. What am I doing wrong?
fg=hit_button['fg'])
hit_button_keyhint.place(relx=0.5, rely=0.85, anchor='center')
hit_button.bind("<Leave>", hit_button.lower(hit_button_keyhint))
You need to pass a function to the binding, Here you execute a function. (hit_button.lower(hit_button_keyhint))
To do so, you should use a lambda.
You can get some clarifications here:
Tkinter binding a function with arguments to a widget
But this should work:
hit_button.bind("<Leave>",lambda event, k=hit_button_keyhint:hit_button.lower(k)
How do you force Combobox dropdowns to stay open even when other Alert boxes appear. Looking at what to subclass from mx.Combobox, there doesn't seem to be much that i can do to short of implementing an entire combobox from scratch.Thx
For that you need to create a custom ComboBox which if created in following Link. and might be this link will going to be useful to you.

I have a Flex TileList with an itemRenderer made by me.
The list loads the content perfectly and renders it.
Renderer is a simple canvas element with a checkbox and another canvas with some labels with data.
I implemented a method that, on TileList itemClick="clickedItemHandler(event)", changes the state of the checkbox (if checked -> uncheck, and vice versa).
Problem is: the method works if i click on any place of the item, EXCEPT the checkbox. When i click the checkbox, it doesn't change state.
My thoughts: maybe i was changing the state of the checkbox, and the event changing it back, but i debugged it and it doesn't look like so..
The solution is actually quite simple. Perhaps the best way to make this work is making sure the CheckBox ignores mouse clicks, and this can be done by setting the "mouseEnabled" attribute to false.
Cheers
I think you're probably correct. The checkbox toggles when you click it and then you toggle it back when the event gets to the TileList. You may not see this when debugging depending on how you are confirming... you may be able to fix this by confirming that the target of the event is not a CheckBox.
I am denying a user the ability to drop into my tree during certain conditions, it's all going well, but I want to tell the user why I'm denying the drop. I would prefer to do it with a toolTip, but it doesn't seem to work. Can I not have a toolTip during a drag operation? How can I force one?
Flex seems to treat toolTips as a property of the UI component, with the component deciding when and if to show it. I would like it to force it to be like doing one in javaScript where it was always just like saying "Show it now" "stop showing it now"
Does anyone know about doing this during drag?
Thanks

What you could try is to show the tooltip yourself with the mx.managers.ToolTipManager. Create for example a VBox that implements mx.controls.ToolTip and displays the message you want to show to the user.
You can see a working example at FlexExamples.
Another idea is to show a programmatic mouse cursor when the drop is denied. I've just read an article about that on Inside Ria.
I am displaying a combo box in something of a WYSIWYG preview. I want the user to be able to click on the combo box and see the options inside, but I don't want them to be able to change the value. I tried using preventDefault() on the change event but it doesn't work. I don't want to disable it because I do want the user to be able to "look inside" the dropdown.
So I'm trying to block the change, but can't. My next resort is to change the selected index back to what it was before the change, Is there any way to do this within the scope of a ListEvent.CHANGE event listener?
Current Workaround is to basically re-assign the controls selected item the same way I am defining the selected item when I originally build it (a default selection). So a user sees their change then it immediately changes back to the default selection.
Are you sure that a combobox is what you want? could you do the same thing with a list component that is not selectable?
update:
If you must use a combobox and you dont want the lag from listening for the event and resetting the control, I see two possible options. You could subclass the control and make your own. When you do, hijack any methods that set the value besides the initial selection.
Or, you could try something like this: http://wmcai.blog.163.com/blog/static/4802420088945053961/. The site seems like it is in another language but the code is still there. It will allow you to make your options disabled, so the user cannot choose one of the other options.
