This is what I tried, but not working :/
var myLayer = app.project.item(index).layer(index).propertySpec;
var myProperty = myLayer.opacity;
myProperty.setValue(50);
To set a keyframe you have to set the Property to a value at a particular time using setValueAtTime, thus:
myProperty.setValueAtTime(newValue, time)
You can also change the value at an existing key thus:
myProperty.setValueAtKey(keyIndex, newValue)
If you don't know what the property is going to be, you can check that it is keyframe-able by testing
if(myProperty.canVaryOverTime === true){ doTheThings() }
I feel like the most helpful thing I can do right now is point you to the docs for the Property object, they should give you a leg-up.

I have been running SpatialUnderstandingExample scene from holo-toolkit. Couldnt figure out how to place my objects into the scene. I want to replace those small boxes that comes default with my own objects. How can I do that?
Thanks
edit: found the draw box but how do i push my object there?
edit2: finally pushed an object at the position but still code is very complicated its messing up with the size and shape of my object. Will try to make it clean and neat.
It's been a while since I've looked at that example so hopefully I remember its method name's correctly. It contains a "DrawBox" method that is called after a successful call to get a location from spatial understanding. The call that creates the box looks something like this:
DrawBox(toPlace, Color.red);
Replace this call with the following (assuming "toPlace" contains the results from the spatial understanding call and "model" contains the model you are trying to place there):
var rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(toPlace.Normal, Vector3.up);
// Stay center in the square but move down to the ground
var position = toPlace.Postion - new Vector3(0, RequestedSize.y * .5f, 0);
// instantiate the hologram from a model
GameObject newObject = Instantiate(model, position, rotation) as GameObject;
if (newObject != null)
{
// Set the parent of the new object the GameObject it was placed on
newObject.transform.parent = gameObject.transform;
}
I'm using Dialog and would like to style all my cells. I have a background image, and in the samples I can see how you can use a StyledStringElement to use that image.
However, in real use some sections use other elements. For example the last element in one section is a RootElement - but it has no BackgroundUri property to set. The same would go for boolean elements.
I found this question - What's the best way to customise all monotouch.dialog TableViewCells to the same style (Background, etc..)? which is a similar question a year and a half back. The UIAppearance styling mentioned does exist for tablecells but does not work with MTDialog. krtrego's answer to this In monotouch.dialog can RootElement be easily styled? question purports to do the job, but no styling occurred when I implemented it.
Is there now any improved way to do this? Implementing my own 'styled' versions of these other control types would be a big effort and looking at the styledstringelement this is beyond my current skill level.
Here's an example of what I'd like to achieve (the shadow below the 'tags' cell, but the element is actually a RootElement with a set of radio options beneath it). Removing the default grey lines etc is easy enough, but putting a subtle shadow on the bottom cell of each section is what I cannot work out.
Many thanks!
PS. With a normal MTDialog screen with cell backgrounds and borders removed, there is a subtle white shadow/line beneath each section as it is. If I could just recolour that I'd be a long way to where I want to be...
Subclassing the element will let you style it via overriding the GetCell method, but that gets pretty tedious. The best solution I have come across is to to make a custom DialogViewController by subclassing it, and overriding the CreateSizingSource method with your own SizingSource and GetCell() methods using the images you want for each scenario of a cell (top, middle, bottom, alone). Its a bit of code and my example wont handle uneven rows, but it is the only solution I have seen that does not modify the MT.D source code.
Here is what you would override in your DialogViewController subclass:
public override Source CreateSizingSource(bool unevenRows)
{
return new CustomSource(unevenRows);
}
Then you would make a custom source class:
public class CustomSource : Source
{
public CustomSource(DialogViewController parent) : base (parent)
{
}
public override UITableViewCell GetCell(UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath)
{
var theCell = base.GetCell(tableView, indexPath);
if (RowsInSection(tableView, indexPath.Section) == 1) //use one with top and bottom rounded
{
theCell.BackgroundView = new UIImageView(Theme.CellBackgroundFull);
theCell.SelectedBackgroundView = new UIImageView(Theme.CellBackgroundFullActive);
} else if (indexPath.Row == 0) //top only
{
theCell.BackgroundView = new UIImageView(Theme.CellBackgroundTop);
theCell.SelectedBackgroundView = new UIImageView(Theme.CellBackgroundTopActive);
} else if (indexPath.Row+1 == RowsInSection(tableView, indexPath.Section)) // bottom only
{
theCell.BackgroundView = new UIImageView(Theme.CellBackgroundBottom);
theCell.SelectedBackgroundView = new UIImageView(Theme.CellBackgroundBottomActive);
} else //anything in the middle
{
theCell.BackgroundView = new UIImageView(Theme.CellBackgroundMiddle);
theCell.SelectedBackgroundView = new UIImageView(Theme.CellBackgroundMiddleActive);
}
return theCell;
}
}
Theme is just a static class that returns UIImages, similar to the example Field Service app from Xamarin. So here I have made 8 images total. 4 to represent the top, middle, bottom and alone for an element. Each has different rounded corners to appear correct. And then a "highlighted" version of each for when its touched.
The big drawback here is you have to do this for every different styled controller you would need. If you are ok with modifying the MT.D source code, you can get a different solution that will allow you to control it at the Section level here: http://fastchicken.co.nz/2012/05/20/earnest-debrief-visual-styles-in-ios-apps-uiappearence-custom-sections-in-monotouch-dialog/
Which has the same effect, but you only need to subclass Section for each different style, which makes including multiple styles in one Root easier. A pull request was made for this change, but Miguel favored the first solution instead, seen here: https://github.com/migueldeicaza/MonoTouch.Dialog/pull/180
public HtmlComboBox NetworkSelectBox
{
get
{
HtmlComboBox networkSelectBox = new HtmlComboBox(ConfigVMPage);
networkSelectBox.SearchProperties[HtmlComboBox.PropertyNames.Id] = "vnic";
networkSelectBox.SearchProperties[HtmlComboBox.PropertyNames.Name] = "vnic";
networkSelectBox.FilterProperties[HtmlComboBox.PropertyNames.ControlDefinition] = "style=\"WIDTH: auto\" id=vnic name=vnic r";
return networkSelectBox;
}
}
Above is the code I define an UI element and I want to set the property
NetworkSelectBox.SelectedItem = "LabNetworkSwitch";
I've used this way on other elements and all success, but in this one i got the error message
Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.ActionNotSupportedOnDisabledControlException: Cannot perform 'SetProperty of SelectedItem with value "LabNetwokrSwitch"' on the disabled or read-only control.
How can I change the control type?
I don't think you want to change the control type. I would suggest trying either waitforready() or find(). What is likely happening is when the control is initially found it is disabled, and find() will sync the actual control with the current networkSelectBox. WaitForReady() is probably the preferable method here though it will implicitly refresh the values of the combo box until it is available for input or the time out has expired.
I doubt you will run into this issue with HtmlComboBoxes but with a couple of WinComboBoxes I have had issues where they could not be set using SelectedItem or SelectedIndex. I ended up doing KeyBoardSendkeys(Combobox,"firstLetterOfItem") until the selected value was correct.
I've created a simple mapping widget using Dojo and Google Maps. The map is displayed in a dijit.layout.ContentPane set as the center panel of a dijit.layout.BorderContainer (which has the address field and a BusyButton in its top panel); the BorderContainer is in turn wrapped in a dojox.layout.FloatingPane. The widget has a subscription to a topic that will trigger a refresh of the map display when new address data is provided. The updater function is very simple, and looks like this:
_updateAddress: function(data) {
this.addressMapper.show();
if (data === null || !data.address || data.address === "" ) {
this.address.attr("value", "");
} else {
this.address.attr("value", data.address);
}
this.mapBtn.makeBusy();
this._getMap();
}
Every time I call this function, the FloatingPane's resize() method is invoked when I call show(), and it's increasing the height and width of the BorderContainer by 12 pixels every time the pane is shown (even with doLayout and isLayoutContainer set to false on the FloatingPane). I can't seem to prevent this from happening, or correct it afterwards, no matter what I try.
Anyone have any ideas how to remedy this?
Thanks in advance!

symfony getLayout does not seem to work when layout is set via view.yml. Is there anyway to get this within the controller's action class method
I recently needed this. You can do it but you just need to return the entire view.yml contents as an array:
$view_array = sfViewConfigHandler::getConfiguration(array(sfConfig::get('sf_app_config_dir').'/view.yml'));
Just adjust the relative path from sf_app_config_dir (or use another marker) to get what you need.
It's not a trivial task. The view.yml, is not in the "scope" of the action.
Maybe, you can use setLayout in your action rather then in view.yml.
if you can't, for some reasons... you can try this method to reach datas in view.yml:
Is it possible to get a value from view.yml in an action
Execute the following code in the action. It works for both cases, layout set in the action or in the view.yml.
$controller = $this->getContext()->getController();
$view = $controller->getView($this->getModuleName(), $this->getActionName(), 'Success'); // viewName == 'Success' (default)
$layout_name = $view->getDecoratorTemplate(); // e.g expected: layout.php
Let us know if it works for you.
