Below is the code i am running with all other.. Its running perfectly adn its showing all the desired locations on map.
But what i want now is to store all the marked locations in such a way that i can show them as a list on a new page.
I am not able to retrieve the resulted location from map in the form of some string or may be something else which can be displayed as a list ...
private void Button_Click_3(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
MapsTask mapsTask = new MapsTask();
string search = "Coffee";
mapsTask.SearchTerm = search;
mapsTask.ZoomLevel = 2;
mapsTask.Show(); }
The MapsTask does not return any information.
If you're looking to get Points of Interest for a given location, you may have to use an external service such as the HERE Places API.

I would like to access the individual segments of a subaccount programmatically. Assuming I have a particular sub account set as ABC-123, I would like to be able to access ABC and 123 separately in code so that I can implement a particular business requirement.
I know that SubAccounts are saved in the Sub table as one string example ABC123. The sub account fields which link to this table would then link based on the ID (integer - PK of the Sub table). I can of course read from this table and then split accordingly (by taking the first 3 characters and the second 3 characters). However, I would like this to be dynamic so that the customization will work for different clients and clients may have different lengths for the segment. Therefore I cannot hard-code the value 3. I can make use of the SegmentValues table to retrieve the lengths of each Segment accordingly.
However, since Acumatica is already somehow carrying out this parsing (example in the UI), is there an API where Acumatica handles this logic and can provide the Sub-account as an array of strings. I tried to look into the SubAccountAttribute, PXDimensionSelectorAttribute, and SubAccountProvider but could not find anything which delivers this functionality.
Does Acumatica provide a way to split the sub-account into an array of strings or should I do this manually by identifying lengths from the Segment Values?
I believe some of the logic used to separate the segment are in the protected Definition class. The separated segments are in the Dimensions collections of the Definition class. You can access it in attributes that derive from PXDimensionAttribute class but since Definition class is protected you can't access it in a graph because PXGraph/PXGraphExtension don't derive from it.
Not much can be extracted from Dimension because most properties are protected:
You can roll your own by reading the segments of the segmented key:
Here is an example that write the segment values of the transactions subaccount in the trace for the Invoices and Memos screen:
using PX.Data;
using PX.Objects.AR;
using PX.Objects.CS;
using PX.Objects.GL;
namespace PX.Objects.SO
{
public class ARInvoiceEntry_Extension : PXGraphExtension<ARInvoiceEntry>
{
public void ARTran_RowSelected(PXCache cache, PXRowSelectedEventArgs e)
{
ARTran tran = e.Row as ARTran;
if (tran != null && tran.SubID.HasValue)
{
Sub sub = SubAccountAttribute.GetSubaccount(Base, tran.SubID.Value);
if (sub != null && sub.SubCD != null)
{
short segmentStartIndex = 0;
foreach (Segment segment in PXSelect<Segment,
Where<Segment.dimensionID, Equal<Required<Segment.dimensionID>>>,
OrderBy<Asc<Segment.segmentID>>>.Select(Base, "SUBACCOUNT"))
{
if (segment.SegmentID.HasValue && segment.Length.HasValue)
{
PXTrace.WriteInformation(string.Format("Segment {0}: {1}",
segment.SegmentID,
sub.SubCD.Substring(segmentStartIndex, segment.Length.Value)));
segmentStartIndex += segment.Length.Value;
}
}
}
}
}
}
}

I have a smart search page that shows all the products on the page with some smart search filters that narrows down the products on some criterias (Let's say for example Filter1 has Option1, Option2 and Option3).
What I am trying to accomplish is to have a link on a seperate page that links to the product page, but when the user clicks on that link some of the search filters gets set (For example Filter1 would have Option2 selected).
I'm not sure if that is possible with out of the box solution, but with simple tweaks inside SearchFilter.ascx.cs, you can make a workaround. File is placed under CMSWebParts/SmartSearch/SearchFilter.ascx.cs. You should change method 'GetSelectedItems' to take a look into query string for filter value (see snippet bellow):
/// <summary>
/// Gets selected items.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="control">Control</param>
/// <param name="ids">Id's of selected values separated by semicolon</param>
private string GetSelectedItems(ListControl control, out string ids)
{
ids = "";
string selected = "";
//CUSTOM: retrive value for query string
var customFilter = QueryHelper.GetString("customFilter", "");
// loop through all items
for (int i = 0; i != control.Items.Count; i++)
{
//CUSTOM: ----START-----
if (!RequestHelper.IsPostBack())
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(customFilter))
{
if (control.Items[i].Text.Equals(customFilter, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
{
control.Items[i].Selected = true;
}
}
}
//CUSTOM: ----END-----
if (control.Items[i].Selected)
{
selected = SearchSyntaxHelper.AddSearchCondition(selected, control.Items[i].Value);
ids += ValidationHelper.GetString(i, "") + ";";
}
}
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(selected) && (control.SelectedItem != null))
{
selected = control.SelectedItem.Value;
ids = control.SelectedIndex.ToString();
}
return selected;
}
And your hyperlink will look like this: /Search-result?searchtext=test&searchmode=anyword&customfilter=coffee
With this modifications, you can send only one value in filter, but if you need more then one value, you can send them and customize it however suits you best. Also, you can send filter name (in case that you have multiple filters) and then add check in method above.
I will recommend you not to modify kentico files. Instead of that, clone default filter web part and make modifications there, because withing next upgrade of project, you will lose your changes. I checked this in Kentico 11.
For Smart Search Filters:
if turn off auto-post back option -then web part control ID should become a query string parameter that you can use.
This above will form something like:
/Smart-search-filter.aspx?searchtext=abc&searchmode=anyword&wf=2;&ws=0;&wa=0
P.S. I suggest you to take a look at the corporate site example: look the smart search filter web part: /Examples/Web-parts/Full-text-search/Smart-search/Smart-search-filter. It is working example you can use it as starting point.
I want to program some kind of game where the player has to name loacations shown on a map. I am using the slick library.
My problem is that I need some way to get the keyboard input from the player. I tried it with InputDialog from JOptionPane but I do not really like it. I would rather have the string appear on some part of the screen. But I do not have any idea how I can read from the keyboard directly into a variable that should be drawn on the screen. I thought that it would be possible to use streams but if I try to get some examples, they are always about reading from files and I do not know how to use that for reading from keyboard.
String answer;
public void render(GameContainer gameContainer, StateBasedGame sbGame, Graphics g){
g.drawString(answer, 50, 50);
}
public void update(GameContainer gameContainer, StateBasedGame sbGame, int delta){
//user types something which I now call "inputFromUser"
//it does not appear anywhere before the string is drawn on the screen.
answer = inputFromUser;
}
Something like a Scanner does not work for me because the user has to type that into the console, and I want him to type it "directly into the game" like it works with a textfield. (But I do not want to use a textfield.)
I have one way to accomplish that but it's fairly resource intensive. First create a global variable to keep track of the current letters. now create a new method that runs through all of the keys to check if they are down
private String totalString;
private void handelUserInput(Input input){
if(input.isKeyDown(Input.KEY_BACK)){
totalString = totalString.substring(0, totalString.length() - 1);
}
if(input.isKeyDown(Input.KEY_A)){
totalString += "a";
}
if(input.isKeyDown(Input.KEY_B)){
totalString += "b";
}
...etc
}
next create an input handler in the update loop to pass into the handle input method.
public void update(GameContainer gc, StateBasedGame sbg, int delta)throws SlickException {
Input input = gc.getInput();
handelUserInput(input);
}
and then print the string somewhere on your window in the render loop. by the way the Input class is built into slick.
I am just working my way through the location services for the first time and everything appears to be working in that it correctly finds my location but I am having trouble extracting the coordinates.
The docs states that CLLocation has a "Coordinates" property and the compiler is happy with this piece of code. However at runtime the CLLocation only appears to return a string description.
I start the location manager
_locationManager = new CLLocationManager ();
_locationManager.DesiredAccuracy = 1000;
// handle the updated location method and update the UI
_locationManager.LocationsUpdated += (object sender, CLLocationsUpdatedEventArgs e) => {
UpdateLocation (e.Locations [e.Locations.Length - 1], _destinationLatitude, _destinationLongitude);
};
if (CLLocationManager.LocationServicesEnabled)
_locationManager.StartUpdatingLocation ();
The event fires correctly
static public void UpdateLocation (CLLocation current, Double destinationLat, Double destinationLng)
{
//Make the start pairing
string start = current.Coordinate.Latitude.ToString() + "," + current.Coordinate.Longitude.ToString();
//Make the destination pairing
string destination = destinationLat.ToString() + "," + destinationLng.ToString();
}
However the app just crashes out. Catching it on a breakpoint I see the following which only appears to have a description property that contains.
Description "<+50.58198902,-3.67661728> +/- 65.00m (speed -1.00 mps / course -1.00) # 25/07/2013 13:11:28 British…" string
I can obviously extract the lat/lng from this text field but I get the feeling I shouldn't need to do this. Any help appreciated.
I moved the exact same code into a different controller and it worked fine. The only difference between the two controllers was that the failing controller was using the monotouch dialog reflection api to bind the screen elements. I can't see why this would make any difference but it is the only difference between the two controllers. Everything is working now, I will try to reproduce in a smaller sample if I get the time.
Problem
As we know, SharePoint saves data in database in plain text. Some fields even have concatenated strings like <id>;#<value> for user fields. Percents are saved as doubles (1.00000000000000 for 100%) and etc.
Ofcourse, I want to display data as they are displayed in lists.
What should I do?
Should I use derived SPBoundField to format values (Which I actually did and it works fine until you want to filter (probably SPBoundField won't format me values because i use ObjectDataSource not list and with reflector I saw if there are SPListItems in datasource, then it formats correctly. Not my case)

Or must I loop through all the DataTable and format each row accordingly?
What are Your techniques?
Thank you.
Here is how I solved this issue.
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Campaign Members">
<ItemTemplate>
<%# RemoveCharacters(Eval("CampaignMembers").ToString())%>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
// Make sure declare using System.Text.RegularExpression;
protected string RemoveCharacters(object String)
{
string s1 = String.ToString();
string newString = Regex.Replace(s1, #"#[\d-];", string.Empty);
newString = Regex.Replace(newString, "#", " ");
return newString.ToString();
}
I normaly use ItemTemplates that inherit from ITemplate. With in the ItemTemplate I use the SPFieldxxxValue classes or some custom formating code. This saves looping through the DataTable and the ItemTemplates can be reused.
The ItemTemplates are attached in Column Binding
E.G
// Normal Data Binding
SPBoundField fld = new SPBoundField();
fld.HeaderText = field.DisplayName;
fld.DataField = field.InternalName;
fld.SortExpression = field.InternalName;
grid.Columns.Add(fld);
// ItemTemplate Binding
TemplateField fld = new TemplateField();
fld.HeaderText = field.DisplayName;
fld.ItemTemplate = new CustomItemTemplateClass(field.InternalName);
fld.SortExpression = field.InternalName;
grid.Columns.Add(fld);
An example of a ItemTemplate
public class CustomItemTemplateClass : ITemplate
{
private string FieldName
{ get; set; }
public CustomItemTemplateClass(string fieldName, string formatString)
{
FieldName = fieldName;
}
#region ITemplate Members
public void InstantiateIn(Control container)
{
Literal lit = new Literal();
lit.DataBinding += new EventHandler(lit_DataBinding);
container.Controls.Add(lit);
}
#endregion
void lit_DataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Literal lit = (Literal)sender;
SPGridViewRow container = (SPGridViewRow)lit.NamingContainer;
string fieldValue = ((DataRowView)container.DataItem)[FieldName].ToString();
//Prosses Filed value here
SPFieldLookupValue lookupValue = new SPFieldLookupValue(fieldValue);
//Display new value
lit.Text = lookupValue.LookupValue;
}
}
Here are a few options. I don't know the output of all of them (would be a good blog post) but one of them should do what you want:
SPListItem.GetFormattedValue()
SPField.GetFieldValue()
SPField.GetFieldValueAsHtml()
SPField.GetFieldValueAsText()
It may also be handy to know that if you ever want to make use of the raw values then have a look at the SPField*XYZ*Value classes. For example the form <id>;#<value> you mention is represented by the class SPFieldUserValue. You can pass the raw text to its constructor and extract the ID, value, and most usefully User very easily.
I would suggest either to format the values before binding them to the spgridview. Linq and an anonymous type is preffered or to call a code behind function on the field that needs the formatting upon binding.
DataField='<%# FormatUserField(Eval("UserFieldName")) %>'
or...maybe a templated field?
After all, i did have not know any other solution to loop through DataTable rows and format them accordingly.
If your SPGridView's data source is list, try out SPBoundField.
