I hooked up an extra eventhandler to the Sitecore onItemSaved actions to change the icon of an item in Sitecore. The icon gets changed, but you have to refresh the Sitecore content tree to see that it has changed. Is it possible to programatically make sure the changed icon gets visible to the user instantly in the content tree?
I used:
item.Field["__icon"].Value = "someicon.pgn"
with a Editing.BegintEdit() and a EventDisabler around it.
When you change the Icon of an item in Sitecore itself, the icon gets visible instantly, this is what I would like to see aswell.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
To refresh the content tree from the code use:
//TODO: set to the appropriate item
String refresh = String.Format("item:refreshchildren(id={0})", currentItem.Parent.ID);
Sitecore.Context.ClientPage.SendMessage(this, refresh);
Remove the EventDisabler, that's likely the issue...
It also disables client events...

I have a word press navigation bar which has 2 buttons Home and Contact. When hovering on the contact page there is a sub item called number. How do I stop the user navigating to the parent link? and only allow them to selected number and navigate to that page.
The quickest way would be to create that parent menu item with a URL of #/ which will prevent the click. It will append #/ to the url in the browser, but other than that nothing else will happen. Note that the slash at the end will prevent the page from scrolling to the top when clicked which is especially useful if you have a sticky menu.
If you want to prevent the URL from changing in your browser you can add some Javascript to prevent the click event for links with a href of #/ like this bit of jQuery...
$('a[href*=\\#\\/]').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
As Jaxon said in the comments, you could then use CSS to change the cursor on those parent items (to default perhaps).
If you felt this method was too "hacky" you could use a Walker to actually override the output HTML, but depending on your implementation that feels like overkill to me for such a small effect. Plus, once you strip the a tag out you could run into other issues with your menu if your dropdowns require that tag to work properly.
You can try these steps in the wordpress console.

I'm developing some Windows forms app with Devexpress, and I have something like below, a set of tabs are open which are related to "System parameters" and I want to a new set of tabs to open in place of older tabs when I click on Error navBarItem and also it should be vise versa, I saw this in demos but I don't know how to do it myself, thanks
I suggest you use a UserControl for each set of options, and when you click on an item of your navigation bar, you do the following :
Set the visible property of the current user control to false
Check if the user control associed to the clicked item exist, if yes, set it's visible property to true (reactivate it), otherwise, create an new instance of it, and dock it.
To manage this, you should have a a list of the user controls already opened, so you can reactivate them when needed.

In an accessible flex app, the user can navigate through the control by using the TAB key.
The flex app pops up on top of the html page aftert the user activate a particular link, and is loaded using swfobject.embedSWF.
It works well in most cases, but there are some instances where either or both these happen:
a) The flex app loads ok, the "flex focus" is set on the intro text label to read out loud, but pressing tab seems to still cycle through the links on the page behind. (Now Fixed, see Edit 2)
b) The focus worked well and pressing tab cycle through the controls ok, but after going through them it then tabs out of the flex app and onto the address bar.. it becomes a nightmare to even try to get back to the flex app without clicking on it.. which isn't exactly accessibility friendly.
Is there any way to prevent these from happening?
EDIT: The target browser is IE. Seems to be the most used with Jaws
EDIT: I managed to fix problem (a). The trick was to call focus on the swf object, but after a slight time out - must be something to do with flash/js ready state.
setTimeout(function(){
document.getElementById('swfobject').focus()
},25);
Problem (b) is still an issue though...
In your mx:Application component, add an event listener for the keyFocusChange and add this code :
protected function application1_keyFocusChangeHandler(event:FocusEvent):void
{
event.preventDefault();
focusManager.getNextFocusManagerComponent(event.shiftKey).setFocus();
}
b) Try to place some focusable element after swf in html. When focus leaves flex app, see if onfocus handler of that element gets called. If it is, you can refocus flex app from there or redirect it where you want.
In my flex app I have custom tooltips on buttons that hide and show based on user context.
The problem that I dealing with is that when I call my showTips() function I only want to show tooltips on the buttons that visible in the view. So buttons that on a un-selected tab (tabNavigator) should not show the tooltips.
For some reason all tooltips are showing.
Is there a way to detect if a button is not in current view, like on a un-selected tab?
If you gave us some code I could check this out, but would this work?
if(button.parent.visible) { showTip(button);}
Instead of custom coding for each button, make use your tabnavigator's creation policy is set to "auto".

In asp.net, am trying to populate a dropdownlist box with very long text. I have fixed the width of list on the page and i don't want to change its size as it would affect my page layout. On clicking the dropdownlist, the text gets truncated to the size of the dropdown. I want to see the entire text without any truncation, without changing the size of the dropdownlist box..Also if there are any third party controls which would solve this problem?Would be very helpful if there's a solution for this.
Update:
Right now am trying a dropdown box in Jquery that will wrap the text if it exceeds the size..but again the problem is it works fine on an independent solution but when i integrate it with my application, it does not read the .css file and it does not do any formatting(style, font, alignment) that it is supposed to do according to the .css file.Any idea why this is happening?
The problem that you're describing is restricted to IE (it might be fixed in the latest version, I haven't tested).
In the past, I've had success with binding javascript methods to the onClick event on the drop down to increase the width, and the onBlur event to set the width back to its original value.
You might be able to use jQuery to create a tooltip like thing that appears when you hover over each option.
something like
// this executes on page load - just like asp.net Page_load()
function pageLoad(){
// attach a mouseover event to each option in your dropdown
$("#myDropdown option").mouseover(function(){
// get the text from that option
var text = $("#"+this.id).text();
// display that text in a small tooltip
showToolTip(text);
});
}
function showToolTip(text){
// display in some way
}
there's a javascript library called wz_tooltip available at walterzorn.com
hope that helps
