Please see this gist to see what I am trying to achieve: https://gist.github.com/d9e22915234e6ea34d20
The code is heavily cut down on the problem I face. As you can see when running the code there is a "miss" detected on the label or the text area (if you miss it by 5em or whatever). Unfortunately this does not work for the Dialog's own buttons OK and Cancel (Please run the code and you will see immediately what i am talking about). If you click near an FX-Node it should detect wheter you missed it or not.
Does anybody know if it is possible to detect clicks in the Dialogs button area?
And if it is possible, how to link them to the node like the label and the area?
Thank you in advance.
From what you're seeing, I would guess that the Dialog consumes click events in the button bar, so they don't make it to the Window (which is where you added the EventHandler). If you really want to do this, you can change addEventHandler to addEventFilter. This works for me.

Lets say, you have an image button at the UI that represents a switchable feature (i.e. tooltips on/off). What should it show according to the status (on/off). I believe, the user is expecting to see a hint for what is going to happen, when he click the button. In this case, the button displays just the opposite of the current status. For example: the two images are lightbulbs, one grey for OFF, one yellow for ON. Now, if the feature status is OFF, the button shows the yellow one, signaling that, if you click on it, the feature will be switched to ON, and vice versa. A colleague said, that this is misleading. If the feature is OFF the button should reflect this, thus displaying a grey lightbulb. I couldn't find any best practice rules for that. Anybody knows some?
So I am having this issue with using Google VR reticle where I cannot click a button. I have an image attached showing the heirarchy and the PlayButton is what I am trying to click. The Canvas has a Graphic Raycaster, the button has an Event Trigger that calls the method to navigate to the next scene. The UpScrollPanel, and DownScrollPanel work just fine. The EventSystem has the Gaze Input Module, as well as Event System, and Touch Input Module.
Any ideas on how to get this working? I have watched a few videos from NurFACEGAMES and while they helped a little, I haven't gotten the click to work yet.
Oh, and I am using Unity 5.3.4f
Sometimes things can get in the way of the button, make sure that no other UI elements overlap it, for example text borders (which are actually larger than they appear). You can also fix this by moving the button up the hierarchy among its siblings, I believe the first child is top.
Also try moving the button up the hierarchy if possible, sometimes UI having certain parents makes them not work
The canvas object should have a graphic raycaster
I found the issue to be unrelated to anything I thought it was. The menu I was using is a prefab I also use in another view that isn't VR. The scrollrect was loading that prefab, instead of the modified one I was using in the VR menu, and therefore the triggers I had added to the button were no being used when the app loaded.
I need to find what key the user pressed on a keyboard using xamarin.forms, ideally inside an AbsoluteLayout. I've come up with a few ways myself, but can't get any of them working.
As there isn't an event for this on the AbsoluteLayout control, i tried a little cheat, which was putting an entry field (textbox) on the screen, but hiding it above, so it can't be seen and using the result from that, but it loses focus when someone presses the screen or a button on the screen. so i tried adding an event to each button which refocuses the textbox once i've handled the press and this seemed ok at first, however, if they press anywhere else on the screen, it also loses focus.
I also tried adding a TapGestureRecognizer to the screen, and focusing the button when they press anywhere on the screen, however, there were 2 issues with this, the first being that it appears to only fire when something inside it is touched, and secondly, when i call the focus method for the second time (if they click the screen twice) it un-focuses the entry field, even if i check "isfocused" first (think this is a bug).
I'm only concerned about windows 8 and android apps so far. iOS may come later, but for now im just trying to get it working for these OS's. so maybe i could code it in the windows and android projects (inside my shared project solution), however, i have absolutely no idea where to even begin doing that. I mean, if this is the best way, how can i pass my AbsoluteLayout to the windows project and get it to know what it is, and convert it into a control which i can then add the event to.
Any help or advice, or ideas would be much appreciated. I cant find anything in NuGet which will help me with this. Any ideas?
Many thanks

since there isn't any useful How-To for beginners of PyQt5, I'm stuck with a little problem about signals & slots.
I do have a lineEdit which will get a directory path by a dialog (which works fine).
If one starts the program this lineEdit is empty by default and that's ok. A button, which shall generate a file list and show it in a list view, exists. It's functionality is implemented already and working fine. This button by default is disabled when the program is started for the first time.
What I want to do now is, enabling the button when something is entered at the lineEdit and disabling it when the content is removed.
I gave it a shot with this:
self.lineEdit_SelectedDirectory.editingFinished.connect(self.pushButton_CreateFileList.setEnabled)
but I get the error that it has not enough arguments, which might be clear because there aren't any provided in this code line.
Again, this was just a guess. How would one do this?
I would love something which takes the content into account like that, that it decides whether the content is empty or not and than sets the appropriate value to the button.
thx in advance for the help.

Looks like you want the textChanged signal, since that sends the current text:
self.lineEdit_SelectedDirectory.textChanged.connect(
lambda text: self.pushButton_CreateFileList.setEnabled(bool(text)))
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
~Mike
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.
