How can you control visibility of datasource in Cesiumjs? - kml

I want to display multiple datasources in a cesiumjs viewer but need to allow the user to select which ones they want to see at any given time. For example, if I load a kml and a czml file, how do I hide one and show the other? I can't find the cesiumjs way to do this with its API.

Update Feb 2016: A show flag has been proposed and may be added to a future version of Cesium.
Original answer:
Currently there is no show flag on the dataSource, however it is easy to add and remove the dataSource from the list of available dataSources, and this is used to get the show/hide functionality.
Here's a working demo: Load the Cesium Sandcastle Hello World example, and paste the following code into the left side, then hit Run (F8). It should display a checkbox in the upper-left with show/hide functionality.
var viewer = new Cesium.Viewer('cesiumContainer');
// Create a typical CzmlDataSource.
var dataSource1 = new Cesium.CzmlDataSource();
dataSource1.load('../../SampleData/simple.czml');
// Add a checkbox at the top.
document.getElementById('toolbar').innerHTML =
'<label><input type="checkbox" id="showCheckbox" /> Show CZML</label>';
var checkbox = document.getElementById('showCheckbox');
checkbox.addEventListener('change', function() {
// Checkbox state changed.
if (checkbox.checked) {
// Show if not shown.
if (!viewer.dataSources.contains(dataSource1)) {
viewer.dataSources.add(dataSource1);
}
} else {
// Hide if currently shown.
if (viewer.dataSources.contains(dataSource1)) {
viewer.dataSources.remove(dataSource1);
}
}
}, false);
This code could be improved, for example it could be a "lazy load" where the dataSource.load does not get called until the first time it's shown. Also if a dataSource has been hidden a while, you have to consider at what point should you be saving memory by destroying the dataSource rather than continuing to hold onto it (triggering a new lazy load if it is later shown again).

as of now, show is a property of the data source, you can control it by accessing the property in dot or bracket notation:
https://cesiumjs.org/Cesium/Build/Documentation/CzmlDataSource.html#show
const src = new Cesium.CzmlDataSource();
src.show = false;

How to display standby dialog in XPages view when expanding a section

In my XPages application I am using the xe:dynamicViewPanel control and would like to add a standby/wait dialog/popup when a section is being expanded by the user (click on the expand-icon to open the section).
Sometimes the view index is not up-to-date and opening a category holding a lot of documents will last a while, in the meantime I want to display some "loading dialog" (which I already have, so, no need to explain how to do this).
My problem is, that I can not find any event or entry point where to start from.
Thank you all !
Alex
You can try code from this link:
https://openntf.org/XSnippets.nsf/snippet.xsp?id=standby-dialog-custom-control
If you want to show stanby dialog on the current section, replace the 79 line
var forms=dojo.body()
with some other container. For example, a partial refresh element
var forms = dojo.byId(refreshId)
In this case you need to replace lines 75 and 140 to pass the id parameter
function StandbyDialog_Started(refreshId) {
try{
if(StandbyDialog_Do==true){
if(this.StandbyDialog_Obj==null) {
var forms= (refreshId)?dojo.byId(refreshId):dojo.body();
this.StandbyDialog_Obj = new dojox.widget.Standby({
target: forms,
zIndex: 10000
});
document.body.appendChild(this.StandbyDialog_Obj.domNode);
this.StandbyDialog_Obj.startup();
}
StandbyDialog_StoreField()
setTimeout("if(StandbyDialog_Do==true){StandbyDialog_StoreField()}",50);
setTimeout("if(StandbyDialog_Do==true){this.StandbyDialog_Obj.show()}",200);
}
}catch(e){
console.log("StandbyDialog_Started:"+e.toString())
}
}
and
dojo.subscribe( 'partialrefresh-start', null, function( method, form, refreshId ){
StandbyDialog_Do=true
StandbyDialog_Started(refreshId)
});
I didn't test it, but I hope it can help you to go further.

Load data in custom form by using Kentico 9

I searched the whole web and I couldn't found any good topic which expose the proper way to do it.
I have a very simple web which I developed using Kentico 9 CMS. This web only contains two subpages and a header to navigate between those.
The "Home" subpage contains a custom form which remains connected to a SQL table which is populated every time you press submit with certain data.
On the other hand, the other page, shows the stored data by using a custom web part which connects to the DB by using BizFormItemProvider and this object is used as a layer to binding the data in a control.
Now is my point. If you see, there is a button to "Edit" a certain row and my intention is to Redirect to "Home" (which contains the form) and sending via QueryString the ID of the row attempted to edit.
I was unable to understand how can you re-fill the form with its data using an ID.
Maybe because I never worked with a CMS before, I'm looking the development such as pure ASP.NET and it could not be the correct one.
Custom
Given that your solution uses a custom form for entering the data, as well as a custom web part for listing the stored data, you will need to use a custom solution to handle the editing of data, as well.
In the custom webpart on the Home page, in a load event, you can retrieve the form data and set the values on the form controls.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Ensure that the form is not being posted back,
// to prevent entered data from being overwritten
if(!IsPostBack)
{
// Get the form item ID from the query string
var personId = QueryHelper.GetInteger("personId", 0);
if(personId > 0)
{
// Get the biz form item, and set form control values
var bizFormItem = BizFormItemProvider.GetItem(personId, "customFormClassName");
txtFirstName.Text = bizFormItem.GetStringValue("FirstName", string.Empty);
}
}
}
Similarly, when Submit is clicked, you can update the existing form item with the new data
protected void btnSubmit_OnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Get the form item ID from the query string
var personId = QueryHelper.GetInteger("personId", 0);
if(personId > 0)
{
// Retrieve the existing biz form item,
// and update it from the form control values
var bizFormItem = BizFormItemProvider.GetItem(personId, "customFormClassName");
bizFormItem.SetValue("FirstName", txtFirstName.Text);
bizFormItem.Update();
}
else
{
// Your code for inserting a new form item...
}
}
The Kentico way
You should really consider using the Kentico form engine for accomplishing this task. Instead of using a custom form for entering the data, use the built-in On-line form webpart.
The benefits are numerous, such as:
Ability to set the form layout through the CMS, and use alternative layouts
Automatic confirmation email to the submitter of the form, as well as notification emails to the administrators
To accomplish your task, you can customise the On-line form webpart to support loading of existing data.
In the bizform.ascx.cs file, add code to the SetupControl method:
protected void SetupControl()
{
if (StopProcessing)
{
// Existing code...
}
else
{
// Existing code...
// Get the form item ID from the query string
var personId = QueryHelper.GetInteger("personId", 0);
if(personId > 0)
{
// Get the biz form item, and set form control values
var bizFormItem = BizFormItemProvider.GetItem(personId, "customFormClassName");
if(bizFormItem != null)
{
// Set the item ID
viewBiz.ItemID = bizFormItem.ItemID;
}
}
}
}
This will automagically switch the form to Edit mode, instead of Insert mode, as soon as you set the ItemID property. Clicking the Submit button will save changes on the existing form item.
You will not need to worry about validation in your code, and inserting data will still work.
Is this a contact form that you are using Kenticos built in form application for, or is it a custom form? If it is a custom form you can create a transformation with a link that will contain the ID. If it is a biz form, you can still create a transformation in Page Types (create a new page type and select "The page type is only a container without custom fields"), then write a custom query to get the biz form data, and use a repeater to display the data with that transformation.

How to select a radio button by default in formly form angularjs

How do I set "onDemand" as default when the form is loaded?
(Background: There is a hidden text box which should only be visible when "Predefine" is checked. Unfortunately, it is visible when the form gets loaded first. At this point I thought about making the onDemand checked by default to keep the textbox invisbile at first page load)
{"key":"discountType","type":"radioType", "templateOptions":{"options": [{"name":"OnDemand","value":"OnDemand"},{"name":"Predefined","value":"Predefine"}]}},
{"key":"discValue","type":"input","templateOptions": {"type":"input"}, hideExpression: "model.discountType=='OnDemand'"}
]
}
Did some trial and error after sleeping over it and I got it.
discount.discountInfo.discType="OnDemand"; resolved it.
var discount = this;
discount.title = title;
discount.discountInfo = {};
discount.fields=[{"key":"discountType","type":"radioType", "templateOptions":{"options": [{"name":"OnDemand","value":"OnDemand"},{"name":"Predefined","value":"Predefine"}]}},
{"key":"discValue","type":"input","templateOptions": {"type":"input"}, hideExpression: "model.discountType=='OnDemand'"}
]
discount.discountInfo.discType="OnDemand";

How to add an absolute element in a NativeScript page

I want to be able to just place a View component (plugin) into the page through code and have it appear at some X\Y on the page... but I'm a bit stumped.
Any attempt to add via page.content kinda adds it to the layout\render pass so it occupies space.
So this would get injected into "any" page at "any" time, I have no control over the markup this would be used in (know what I mean?) There is no XML for it and unfortunately the answer can't just be wrap everything in an AbsoluteLayout because one can't mandate that on users apps\layouts.
Thoughts, even possible?
Basically the simplest way to do this is to dynamically and be fully cross platform compatible is to create a AbsoluteLayout item in your JavaScript code, and dynamically insert your item and the AL into the page container.
Code would be something like this:
var AbsoluteLayout = require('ui/layouts/absolute-layout').AbsoluteLayout;
var myAL = new AbsoluteLayout();
var myItem = new myPluginItem();
// Set you left, right, top, bottom coords.
myItem.top = x;
// Add our item to the AbsoluteItem
myAL.addChild(myItem);
var frame = require('ui/frame');
var page = frame.topmost().currentPage;
var LayoutBase = require('ui/layouts/layout-base').LayoutBase;
page._eachChildView(function(view) {
if (view instanceof LayoutBase) {
view.addChild(myAL);
return false;
}
return true;
});
However, if you don't want to do this the really simple way; the only other way is to actually go a bit lower level. You can natively access the iOS view controller (page._ios.view) and the android view (page._nativeView), and then manually add it to the view by using things like addView (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewManager.html) or addSubview (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIView_Class/).
I would like to add you can set the Top and Left properties in TypeScript by importing AbsoluteLayout like so
import {AbsoluteLayout} from 'ui/layouts/absolute-layout';
and then using the exposed functions setLeft or setTop
AbsoluteLayout.setLeft(YourItem, LeftValue);
or
AbsoluteLayout.setTop(YourItem, TopValue);

How to add button + to subgrid of hierarchical relation?

I have a hierarchical relation inside an entity X, I Have parent lookup which allow to give parent to a record of this entity, and I have created a Subgrid attached to this lookup within the same form of the entity:
The problem is that the display of the button + is unstable in this subgrid, sometimes it appears sometimes no. I dont know if this problem is related to some setting or it is a bug of dynamics crm online last version?
For information, I don't have this problem with other sub-grids.
Thanks in advance,
if you want to add a custom button you may do this as follows
function CreateButton() {
var connectionSubGridPlusBtn = document.getElementById("Connections_addImageButton").parentNode.parentNode;
//Connections_addImageButton is the id of + button
if (connectionSubGridPlusBtn != null) {
//New Button
var div = document.createElement("div");
div.className = "ms-crm-contextButton";
div.innerHTML = "<button id='newButton' type='button' style='width:80px;cursor: pointer;padding:0px' >New Button</button>";
connectionSubGridPlusBtn.appendChild(addVendorDiv);
//Event and url for new
document.getElementById("newButton").onclick = function () {
//Write codefor the button click event
}
}
}
call this function on load of the form
The entity has to be created before you're able to add related entities. You can add disable all required fields, and perform a save in the onload, and you should always see the plus sign.
A slightly better solution is to override the create button for the entity, and rather than directing to the create form, perform a rest entity creation, then direct to that form. Then you don't have to perform a save in the on load.
