MS CRM - Focus on SubGrig - crm

I want to run a JS on a subgrid upon OnChange event of another field on the form.
To my understanding the best method is to cause focus on the subgrid prior to launching the JS on the subgrid.
So my inquiry is, what is the correct piece of script to focus to a specific subgrid?
P.S.
I'm using Dynamics CRM 2011 RU17
Thanx :)

You do not need to set focus on a subgrid before running javascript on the grid. All you need to do is refresh the subgrid after you have made the change.
For example:
var myGridControl = Xrm.Page.getControl('myGrid');
//Do something to myGridControl
myGridControl.refresh();

How can I display remote users cursor and selection in Quill

I've been working with Quill for a short time and have been focused on getting collaborative editing working. So far it's going well and I have a fully working collaborative editor!
I want to show the selection and cursor position of other users, but I can't think how to properly approach this problem with Quill.
I essentially want to add markup to the rendered document, without adding any content to the actual document model. Is this possible? Where should I start?
You need to use "quill-cursors" package and then listen to selection-change event:
editor.on("selection-change", function (range, oldRange, source) {
console.log("Local cursor change: ", range);
});
Then broadcast this data to other remote users, and then render the remote cursor:
const cursors = editor.getModule("cursors");
cursors.createCursor(id, user.name, userColor);
cursors.moveCursor(id, cursorRange); // <== cursor data from previous step
cursors.toggleFlag(id, true);
In Quill 0.20, there was an example with multiple cursors working. The approach was a sibling absolutely positioned <div> that contained the cursors and synchronized with selection-change information from the editor. To not delay the 1.0 release this demo and feature was not updated with the new API but support is planned. You can try a similar approach in the meantime and of course the code is still available. You can also track the feature on Github Issues.

How to render checked checkboxes using CSS alone?

This is may be very noobish and a bit embarrassing but I am struggling to figure out how to make checkboxes 'checked' using CSS?
The case is that if a parent has a class setup (for example) I'd like to have all the checkboxes having setup as parent to be checked. I'm guessing this is not doable in pure CSS, correct? I don't mind using JS but am just very curious if I could toggle the state of the checkboxes along with that of their parent (by toggling the class).
Here's a fiddle to play around with.
A checkbox being "checked" is not a style. It's a state. CSS cannot control states. You can fake something by using background images of check marks and lists and what not, but that's not really what you're talking about.
The only way to change the state of a checkbox is serverside in the HTML or with Javascript.
EDIT
Here's a fiddle of that pseduo code. The things is, it's rather pointless.
It means you need to adding a CSS class to an element on the server that you want to jQuery to "check". If you're doing that, you might as well add the actually element attribute while you're at it.
http://jsfiddle.net/HnEgT/
So, it makes me wonder if I'm just miss-understanding what you're talking about. I'm starting to think that there's a client side script changing states and you're looking to monitor for that?
EDIT 2
Upon some reflection of the comments and some quick digging, if you want a JavaScript solution to checking a checkbox if there's some other JavaScript plugin that might change the an attribute value (something that doesn't have an event trigger), the only solution would be to do a simple "timeout" loop that continuously checks a group of elements for a given class and updates them.
All you'd have to do then is set how often you want this timeout to fire. In a sense, it's a form of "long polling" but without actually going out to the server for data updates. It's all client side. Which, I suppose, is what "timeout" is called. =P
Here's a tutorial I found on the subject:
http://darcyclarke.me/development/detect-attribute-changes-with-jquery/
I'll see if I can whip up a jQuery sample.
UPDATE
Here's a jsfiddle of a timeout listener to check for CSS classes being added to a checkbox and setting their state to "checked".
http://jsfiddle.net/HnEgT/5/
I added a second function to randomly add a "checked" class to a checkbox ever couple of seconds.
I hope that helps!
Not possible in pure css.
However, you could have a jQuery event which is attached to all elements of a class, thereby triggering the check or uncheck based on class assignments.
Perhaps like this:
function toggleCheck(className){
$("."+className).each( function() {
$(this).toggleClass("checkedOn");
});
$(".checkedOn").each( function() {
$(this).checked = "checked";
});
}

re-draw fullCalendar on the fly

I want the fullCalendar to redraw itself (all the structure and events) without reloading the page.
Scenario:
I am using a patch of fullCalendar that supports the Resource View. For a few user actions I want to change the resources. But I don't want to reload the page.
You could 'destroy' and 'render' the calendar as a whole. But that might be cumbersome - especially in older browsers.
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('destroy');
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('render');
If you don't actually need to render the table, but just rerender the events again, you could use the 'rerenderEvents' method:
$('#calendar').fullCalendar('rerenderEvents');
Hopefully this helps!
Use refetchResources: .fullCalendar( 'refetchResources' )
This will fetch and freshly re-render the resource data, per the FullCalendar documentation.
The problem:
"...The problem is that the calendar is initialized while the modal or div is not visible... " based on this link enter link description here
In my opinion, destroy is not needed in this case, only with render you can see the calendar.
My solution:
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#objectname').show(0,onObjectShow);
function onObjectShow(){$('#calendar').fullCalendar('render');}
</script>
You must to be sure that the object(container of calendar) is fully visible. For example, my first mistake was to put this code on "onClick" event, and click event is triggered before show the object container and has no effect.
Solution Based on this reference.
You can also redraw calendar on the fly using below command-
$(window).trigger("resize");

onclick message handling on a webpage button

I have a button on a webpage that has the following added programmatically to its “Attributes” property.
btnDeleteNode.Attributes.Add("onclick", "if(confirm('delete this node?')){}else{return false}");
This works fine but now I need to check to see if the user has selected a node in a tree before asking if they want to delete it. If a node isn’t selected I need to tell the user to select one. My question is, can I do this using the above method (I don’t know java script) or should I use a different approach ?
You can set a flag (using javascript) on selection of any node and check the flag here.
You can use a flag or use from Asp Validators

Asp.net and JavaScript pop up windows

I am writing an intranet application and am considering the use of a pop up window. I am not worried about accessibility since it's an intranet app.
The scenario is such as I need to be able to have the same code be used in a server page as well as in the middle of a process; which is why I decided when using it in the middle of the process, it's best to have it as a pop up window to running out of the real estate on the screen.
Any thoughts on this? I am hesitant to use a pop up window in such a manner as I usually only use it for error messages.
I don't completely understand what you're trying to do, but I think a popup window might be somewhat of an issue if the user's browser automatically blocks popup windows. Plus, if you were trying to run a process in the popup window, the user could close it and no longer have a way to check on the process.
Would it be possible to use Ajax to call back to a web service that gives the page information about the process? You could give the user a way to make the Ajax call to check on the status of the process or just have it continually polling in the background.
Edit:
You said you weren't too familiar with Ajax. For the most part, there are libraries to handle all the of hard details. I'll recommend jQuery because that's what I've been using for a while now.
If you go the Ajax route you'll be able to contain everything on one page and make the updates you need to make when the Ajax call is successful. Depending on how you write the code, it should be pretty reusable if you do it right. It really depends on how specific the your needs on each page.
Take a look at the jQuery documentation though. It may have what you need already built into it. Otherwise, someone else might be able to suggest some reasons why their favorite JavaScript library works better for what you're trying to do.
I think you might want to do something like this:
Inside of the parent page:
<input id="btnShowModal" runat="server" type="button" value='Show Modal' onclick="ShowModal()" />
function ShowModal()
{
var retVal = window.showModalDialog("MyPopup.aspx?param1=value","","center=yes;dialogWidth=200px;dialogHeight=200px;status:0;help:0")
if(retVal != "" && retVal != undefined)
{
//This code will be executed when the modal popup is closed, retVal will contain the value assigned to window.returnValue
}
}
Inside of the modal popup:
<input id="btnSave" runat="server" type="button" value='Save' onclick="Save()" />
function Save()
{
window.returnValue = "Whatever you want returned to the parent here"
window.close()
}
The usual argument against popup windows is that they are unreliable. The user may have disabled script initiated popups, I know I have.
In a controlled environment, such as an inranet, you may be able to be guaranteed that this is not the case, but even so, why risk it, there is an alternative.
Instead of popping up a new window just insert a new, absolutely positioned <div> into the document and insert your content into that using ajax or even an <iframe>. There are lots of examples/libraries on the web.
Thickbox for jQuery for example. There are of course scripts that don't require libraries.
I generally use a div with a z-index and absolute positioning; the .show() can be written and called on demand, it would have a button to .close(), and AJAX can make it seem modal so it must be clicked to close if you so desire. Then again, I hate messageboxes.
I was trying to avoid AJAX, simply because I have never used and don't have the time frame to learn it now. However, I am not totally opposed to it.
In short what I need to do is for the pop up window interact back with the page. Imagine that on the page I am building the links of the chain. Each link has unique properties. When user clicks on "ADD LINK" button, I was thinking have a pop up window with the little form and a Save button. The only issue with this is that a pop up needs to interact with the page; we need to know when something has been saved or not saved.
A div on the same page is one way. A pop up is yet another way. Another catch is that this code (adding new link) needs to be reusable, because I am also going to have a page that just creates new links.
