How to make commands of the inactive/hidden “Tool Window” accessible? - vsx

I have one VSPackage with some commands registered in the Initialize() function and are accessible globally using toolbar/menu/shortcut keys. This VSPackage also has one Tool Window (derived from ToolWindowPane) similar to Solution Explorer with its commands registered in OnCreate(). Tool Window commands are also working fine via toolbar/menu/shortcut keys when Tool Window is active/in focus. But when this is hidden behind another window (e.g. Solution Explorer), tool window commands are not accessible.
Please let me know how to make inactive tool window commands accessible.

I found the solution:
Command handler should be first added to the main Package and then to the ToolWindow otherwise ToolWindow command will work only when it has focus.
Please refer function DefineCommandHandler() in PersistedWindowPane.cs and PackageToolWindow.cs of VSSDK IDE Sample.

QtWebEngine doesn't support JavascriptCanCloseWindows

In QtWebkit, using QWebSettings class, I could enable like the permission to close the window using the JavaScript command window.close();:
setAttribute(QWebSettings::JavascriptCanCloseWindows, true);
But in QtWebEngine, such an attribute doesn't exist: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwebenginesettings.html#WebAttribute-enum
How to allow JavaScript to close any QWebEngineView using window.close()?
Indeed, this attribute doesn't exist anymore in the Qt WebEngine.
However, you can close any views using the signal windowCloseRequested from your QWebEnginePage, and connecting it to a slot where you close the window. There is an example of use in the Demo Browser example, in the file webview.cpp:
connect(page(), &WebPage::windowCloseRequested, this, &QWidget::close);

How to reload a page in DukeScript

DukeScript is quite clever in the way it handle changes to the Model so that code is hot-swapped at runtime, see for example here.
One thing it doesn't seem to handle at Runtime though is changes to the HTML layout. Given it runs in a WebView, a kind of a browse, it would nice just to be able to reload the page without having to stop and restart the app.
So, I've tried adding a "reload" button, but I can't find an easy way to do that after the initialization:
BrowserBuilder
.newBrowser()
.loadPage("pages/index.html")
.loadClass(Main.class).
invoke("onPageLoad", args).
showAndWait();
showAndWait() does what it's supposed to do, it doesn't return until the browser is closed. There doesn't seem any way to act on the underlying instance of a WebView and its thread.
Ha ha, simple but effective solution:
Reload
Note: Toni Epple says NetBeans would just detect the change, no reload needed.

WebDriver open rich:popupPanel

We are testing an application with Selenium WebDriver. HTMLUnitDriver is our choice (because of non-gui-testing) and sometimes IEDriver for Presentationpurposes. Anyway, i try to perform a click on a button, this one has to open an rich:popuPanel(modal=true) and click a Link on that Panel. With IEDriver that's no problem, but with HTMLUnitDriver the popupPanel doesn't open. I tried to perform these clicks in several ways:
JavascriptExecutor jsdriver = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
jsdriver.executeScript("$('input[id$=freigabeCmd_id]').focus();");
//below are the other tries
// jsdriver.executeScript("$('input[id$=freigabeCmd_id]').click();");
// jsdriver.executeScript("window.document.getElementById('editorViewForm_id:freigabeCmd_id').click()");
// jsdriver.executeScript("arguments[0].click()", freigabeButton);
// jsdriver.executeScript("arguments[0].fireEvent('onclick');", freigabeButton);
further i tried it the "normal way":
freigabeButton.click();
//below are other ways i found here on stackoverflow
// freigabeButton.sendKeys(Keys.ENTER);
// new Actions(driver).moveToElement(freigabeButton).clickAndHold().release().build().perform();
but nothing brought me to get the popupPanel "visible". Anyone got an idea why?! i'm really stuck right now. If you need more Informations pls let me know.
using: HTMLUnit Version 2.12 and latest SeleniumVersion
It might be that your webapp uses javascript to launch the rich pop-up panel, and you are running HtmlUnitDriver with javascript disabled? It is disabled by default, so you need to explicitly enable it.

Flex: PopUpManager giving "...null object reference" error

I have a main application calling several ViewStack states, each with popup windows. If I don't open any popup windows, I can move between states fine. If I open a popup window then try to change the state using currentState=... I get the error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at spark.components::Scroller/focusInHandler()[E:\dev\4.y\frameworks\projects\spark\src\spark\components\Scroller.as:2139]

...
I see others having the same problem, for example here:

http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-32036?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Aall-tabpanel
But I haven't figured out how to implement the recommended solution. It sounds like I should just include:
import mx.managers.PopUpManager; PopUpManager;
inside my main application and it should work, but it doesn't work for me.
My application has each view state in a different file, each defined using <views:View>. Also, all of the popups are separate files defined as <s:TitleWindow>. Each file includes this line:
import mx.managers.PopUpManager;
I wonder if this means each file is using a different popup manager(?), when it's a singleton and only one should be used for the whole app (how to set that up?).
The code I use to call a popup is:
var _popupName:MyTitleWindowFileName = MyTitleWindowFileName(
PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, MyTitleWindowFileName, true));
_popupName.addEventListener(MyAppController.CLOSE_POPUP,onClosePopUp);
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(_popupName); // call popup
Note that when the main application (the one defined as <s:Application>) runs, the ViewStack states have not been loaded yet (since they get loaded when they are used the first time). Not sure if that has any cause/effect here.
I've tried to follow Adobe's example code in the "Passing data to and from a Spark pop-up window" section here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS6c678f7b363d5da52e8f1ca1124a0430dcf-8000.html#WS6c678f7b363d5da52e8f1ca1124a0430dcf-7ffe
Any ideas much appreciated.
Based on your comments, it seems like the error occurs because the focus remains in the popup. I would expect the PopUpManager and FocusManager classes to handle this better.
One thing I can think of is that the FocusManager may be trying to handle this. But since the state changes, the item that originally had focus (in the view stack child, before the pop up was opened) may no longer be there when the view state changes. Just a hunch, w/out seeing your code.
Here's some things you can do to either work around the problem (or better) further debug it to understand what is happening:
Use FocusManager.setFocus() to move the focus back to an object in the view stack child before closing the pop up
Use FocusManager.getFocus() to debug and see where it thinks the focus is at various stages (before opening popup, before/after changing state, and before/after closing pop up).
It appears this is the situation I'm experiencing:
Adobe Air: scroller throws error when changes focus between different applications
It's an Adobe bug. Solution from Adobe is:
This bug is easily fixed by changing Scroller to do a null pointer check on focusManager before using it.
which is what the first link above attempts to do.

How to suppress Flash migration warnings (1090)

In Flash Professional CS4, I get "migration issue" warnings when I use mouse/keyboard input handler names such as onMouseDown, onKeyUp, etc., even though I have added event listeners for them. These names are perfectly legal for functions, but since these were automatically fired in ActionScript 2.0, we are now (albeit sensibly) warned that their use is no longer automatic in AS3.
I understand the purpose of the warnings, but they aren't useful for me. I want to suppress these warnings, but without suppressing any other warnings, which I generally do find useful.
E.g., when I use code like this:
/** #constructor */
public function MyClass() {
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown);
}
protected function onMouseDown(e:MouseEvent):void {
I get an annoying warning like this:
Warning: 1090: Migration issue: The onMouseDown event handler is not triggered automatically by Flash Player at run time in ActionScript 3.0. You must first register this handler for the event using addEventListener ( 'mouseDown', callback_handler).
There are flex compiler (mxmlc) flags (and a Flash Pro setting) which can suppress actionscript warnings, or all warnings, but I don't want that. That's too general.
Ideally I could suppress a specific error/warning number (Warning #1090).
Edit: I've found more "advanced" compiler flags with mxmlc -help advanced, which look promising. Specifically, the following seem like likely candidates:
warn-deprecated-event-handler-error
warn-deprecated-function-error
warn-deprecated-property-error
How do I get Flash to use these?
Edit 2: I found a flex-info.xml style document in the Flash User Data dir.
[userdatafolder]/Adobe/Flash CS4/en/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/FlexInfo.xml
However, this file contains a disappointing comment: <!-- Flash does not support most flex-config options. -->, and doesn't seem to respond to my directives even after restarting flash.
This is getting sad.
Edit 3: Found an issue "Erroneous, annoying "Migration issue" warnings" on Adobe bug tracker. A fix is confirmed for the Flex SDK, but no mention of Flash...
You can if you edit EnabledWarnings.xml in $Flash/$LOCALE/Configuration/Actionscript 3.0/EnabledWarnings.xml, where $Flash is the path to Flash inside your Applications/Program Files folder and $LOCALE is your language.
e.g.
/Applications/Adobe Flash CS4/en/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/EnabledWarnings.xml
You will need to edit line 29, setting the enabled attribute to false for warning with id 1090:
<warning id="1090" enabled="false" label="kWarning_DepricatedEventHandlerError">EventHandler was not added as a listener.</warning>
Quick sidenote:
"Flash Builder (CS4)" is a confusing term. After Flex Builder 3, Flex Builder got renamed to Flash Builder, there is no Flash Builder CS4. The regular Flash IDE is known as Flash Professional/Flash Professional CS4, this was to avoid confusion between products with similar names: Flash Catalyst, Flash Builder(was Flex Builder), Flash Professional. Obviously it doesn't always work that great :)
What about changing the name of the function being called from onMouseDown to handlerOnMouseDown. Would it solve the issue?
Are you using Flex Builder?
If so, go to Project -> Properties -> Flex Compiler. There you can add arguments to the compiler.
Why are you overriding that? It never existed in the first place. The error message is actually telling you something useful. Don't suppress it.
If you want to create an event handler called onMouseDown, try something like
private function onMouseDown(e:MouseEvent) : void {
// statements
}
I agree with the previous post; the message is trying to tell you that you need to register that event handler. Just adding a method called onMouseDown() won't do it. What you need to do is to add something like
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown);
in either your constructor or maybe in the parent component.
You can filter out these warnings using Flash Builder's problems filtering capability:
open problems view
on the right click on the small triangle that opens a drop-down menu
select Configure Contents...
on the left side, create a new configuration, name it as you wish
on the right side adjust its settings:
Scope: On any element in the same project (or anything you want)
Description: choose doesn't contain and type in Migration issue (this will filter out warnings with migration issue in the description)
choose at least Flex problems
You can combine predefined and custom configurations by selecting more then one on the left side.
