I have one third party Popup to display message. It has two properties OffsetX and OffsetY. To set its position in browser.
Now i am invoking this Popup on Button Click event. I need this popup just next to my Button and for that i have to set above mentioned OffsetX and OffsetY properties of Popup.
I tried following code on Button's Click Event,
Popup.OffsetX = Button.Style.Item("Top")
Popup.OffsetY = Button.Style.Item("Left")
But values of Button.Style.Item("Top") and Button.Style.Item("Left") are always nothing and Popup always appear in Left Bottom corner due to value = nothing.
FYI, I did not set Top and Left from CSS. I just dragged the button from tool box.
The values of "Top" and "Left", unless explicitly defined in the CSS, won't be defined. Dragging controls onto the designer won't do that as the Top/Left positions can vary depending on the browser, the end users screen resolution (whether elements get re-positioned due to the width of the screen) and a number of other factors.
You'll probably need, from the sounds of it, to use a bit of client side javascript (if possible) to trigger the pop-up being shown and/or setting its Top and Left properties.

Currently on a page I am building I have heremaps as the background page, designs call for two elements on the left and on the right that I'm placing over the map element. Right now, when I'm selecting the options button on here maps to select the map view type and other options, those views get hidden as my right element covers it. I've noticed the here map logo has a z-index of 1. Is there a way to change the zIndex of the options button on the buttom right corner?
This code should work for you:
// assuming ui is instance of H.ui.UI
ui.getElement().style.zIndex = 999;

I´m working on a tool only for tablets (Android, iPad) based on Cordova and jQuery Mobile (1.4.5). In the first phase of this tool, many of the users who have to work with it were asking for some more comfort regarding the behavior of the form popups.
The problem was:
As a user came to one section, I provided him with a collapsible-set, consisting of sub-sections. In this sub-sections, the user gets data-grids with Add, Edit and Delete buttons next to each data-set.
So, as the user tapped on Edit button (or Add), I opened up a popup with the necessary form and form-elements to edit this data-set or add new data to the database. But in many of the upcoming popups the amount of the form-elements is as high, so the popup appears higher or even much higher then the collapsible-set (including the data grid) behind the modal popup is.
The popup of jQuery Mobile is centered by default and even if I positionTo origin and pass x and y coordinates to it, the library/widget wants to position the popup to this coordinates by the center point, rather then the upper left corner.
Users always had to scroll around to come to the start point of the form and after submitting the form, they had to scroll up again to where they tapped on the button to open the popup.
Now I tried to do everything I could imagine, to force the popups top position to 20 pixels below the top position of the visible area on the tablet, regardless of where I am, when tapping on any Edit or Add button.
I was playing around with offset() (window.pageYOffset), etc. and set the position of the popup by:
popup2open.popup('open').css({'top':popupTopValue+'px','left':popupLeftValue+'px'});
In fact, the popup is positioned to exactly where I want it, if the top offset is between 0 and 100. On all values above 100, the top position of the popup increases by absolutely incomprehensible value. The only consistent fact is, that the more I scroll down before I tap on a button, the more this value increases - so it does not in/decrease by random.
(BTW: I found out that I have to set "popupLeftValue" to 0, so the popup is positioned in the center horizontally.)
I just can´t see any regularity on increasing value...
Can anybody give me a hint or a punch to the right direction?
Thank you in advance!
PS: I experimented also with .css({'position':'[fixed|absolute]','top':popupTopValue+'px','left':popupLeftValue+'px'}); and that worked well. Only to find out one show-stopper: If I set the focus to an input-field inside the form and than closing the virtual keyboard on the tablet, a reposition-event is triggered and by this, the popup is re-positioned massively below the former position (in fact around 300 pixels below and just marginalized to the right border of visual area). The Cancel and Save buttons are even out of scroll-able area.
(some more funny fact, btw.: if I set the focus to the same input-field, than not closing the virtual-keyboard but directly setting the focus to a select element and after this pressing the back button of the tablet to escape the select menu, no reposition-event is triggered...!?)
On 18th of July 2013 Gabriel Schulhof added this line to a feature-request from one user, who asked exactly for what I´m struggling around with:
"We are indeed considering adding such a feature..."
The Back button in the top left corner of my touch user interface is a little hard to press on a resistive touchscreen, because the touch events are not so precise at the borders of the screen.
The visual size of the button can't really be increased because the screen space is needed for other things. Thus I would like to increase only the clickable area of the button. So when the user touches somewhere in the top left corner of the screen (as marked in red), the back button should be pressed. Note that the red area also overlaps another button. Ideally, the visual button state would also change to the "pressed" state.
Can anyone give me some pointers in the right direction? I have considered the following things, but I'm unsure which would work.
Overlaying the actual button with a larger, invisible button, painted with a transparent brush. But I have no idea how I could paint the smaller button as "pressed" when the user is pressing the invisible button.
Creating a new class based on QWidget, which has the size of the red area (with invisible background) and contains the actual button. Then relay touch events to the button so that it is pressed when the user touches the empty area.
Subclassing QPushButton and reimplementing QAbstractButton::hitButton to accept points outside of the button's area. But I guess that function would probably isn't even called when I touch outside the widget area.
To occupy more vertical space inside a layout, set buttons vertical policy to expanding.
To increase the clickable area without increasing the visual size, increase the margin.
To have the back button overlapping other buttons, don't put it to a layout. Instead set its parent directly and move it to the corner.
backButton = new QPushButton("< Back", mainWindow);
backButton->setStyleSheet("margin: 30;");
backButton->show();
backButton->resize(150, 90);
backButton->move(-30, -30);
I have a ReorderList on my page and it works just great, but...
Now, I have almost 100 items that I'd like to be able to reorder and they flow off the page, even at 8pt. When dragging, the page does not scroll as I approach the bottom (or the top) so I have to drop my item, scroll down, then drag some more. When I drag and drop in Word, as I approach the bottom of the window, the window scrolls so I can move to where I want to drop.
Alternately, it would be fine with me to have the items show up in multiple columns - their width would allow at least 3 columns. But none of the CSS solutions I have found which allow a <ul> to have multiple columns seem to work as they require multiple <ul>s which I don't think I can do with the ReorderList control.
Any ideas?
Here is an idea: Check if the left mouse button is being hold down, and also check for the position of the pointer on the page. If the coordinates are down at the bottom of the page at a position that you think is down enough for the page to be scrolled, then you could use the window.scrollBy() Method, and stop it when the Mouse button is released. You could also set a bool value when a Reorder item is clicked and while the button is down, and set it to false when it is released, and again the same idea, check for the position of the pointer.
Sample window.scrollBy()
Good luck!
I'm doing an application in flex where I draw different sprites inside a canvas. Depending of the dimensions, scrollbars can be appear. I would like to move the "image" with the movement of the mouse as you can see at the Adobe Reader when you are reading a document with zoom (hand mouse icon). In this way, you dont have to touch the scrollbar.
I'm start trying with drag and drop properties of the canvas, setting the position of the scrollbar according with the movement of the mouse but that is not as I expect.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Recipe:
Listen for the mouseMove (MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE) event on the canvas
In event listener, examine event.localX, event.localY
Based on those values and the canvas's width and height, set the canvas's horizontalScrollPosition and verticalScrollPosition accordingly
Hope this helps.
What you can do is, change the position of the scrollbar , when the mouse reaches the last 20 pixels on the left or the right, or the top and bottom.
What you would really need to do is, have a mouseMove listener on the whole application, and when the mouse is within the end ranges of any of the sides, you can use the scroll.scrollTo function to move the scrollbars.
