XPages: How to hide edit box controls? - xpages

I want to use the edit box control to store something, but I didn't want to dispaly the edit box in UI. I tried to set rendered or loaded properties to false, the edit box control doesn't show, but I can't access the control since it's not rendered. Any ideas? thanks for help.

You can use the Hidden Input Control for this:
<xp:inputHidden>
Alternativly set the style property of your edit box to
display:none;

Options of message box in Excel

We would like to change the font, color and size of the text displayed in message boxes.
Can/how do you VBA this?
Nothing tried, we are not finding any help in online manuals, including the Microsoft help site.
We would like to make the message box big, bold and loud.
Easy answer: You can't.
That's why you can't find anything about it in the official documentation of the MsgBox function.
A workaround can be to create your own UserForm where you are free in how to style it.
Add a UserForm in your workbook's code module, and configure it with as many Label and CommandButton controls as needed.
If the label text will be static, you can configure these all through the Properties window in the IDE:
Labels, Command Buttons, etc., are accessible Controls on the UserForm, and can be altered dynamically during runtime if needed, e.g., during the form's Initialize or Activate or any other event handlers. Controls on the form can even alter other controls, for example you could leverage the command button's Click event handler to modify the text associated with Label1 control, etc.
You can even add (or remove) controls (labels and such) dynamically, too, and fully control their appearance/formatting/etc.

XPAGE Modal Dialog [duplicate]

I am using the extlib Dialog component to display some data. I want the user to only close the dialog via a button I have in it.
I can't see any option to disable the close icon in the title bar. Can someone point me to the documentation on doing this? So far I've checked the wiki + extlib book (maybe I missed it?).
css rules, again! As far as I can see there's no "native" way to get rid of that close button (and to be honest, I don't think it's a really good idea to do so; see below). But using some css you of course can hide anything you want on your page.
Just give your dialog some custom styleClass; at runtime this custom class is then added to the dialog's outer div-container.
The close button itself is an link inside a span; the has tow style classes, one being "lotusClose".
Finally adding this piece of code to your style sheet will hide the button:
div.yourCustomClass a.lotusClose {display:none;}
Caveat:
The "close" button is there on purpose. And instead of hiding it I would rather add some kind of validation code to your dialog's close event. There are numerous examples, but maybe you just want to refer to dojotoolkit.org's reference for
dijit.Dialog
(section "Forms and Functionality in Dialogs).
Btw: since the dialog is based on dijit.Dialog you may also want to browse stackoverflow's dojo section.

How to display dotted line around radio button or check box control withTrinidad jsf table tag

Currently in our web application, Trinidad JSF tr:table tag is used to display information in the table format. Upon using the attribute rowSelection=single, radio button displayed automatically for each row in a table and name/text next to this control is not visible to the user.
When user navigates with tab key to select the radio button control or user clicks on the same with mouse button, focus with dotted line is not displayed on the control.
What are the different approaches to display dotted line (provided by IE browser) around the radio button / check box control created by Irinidad JSF table tag?
End user requires this accessibility feature.
Right now, we are using,
myfaces-api-1.1.4.jar, myfaces-impl-1.1.4.jar,
trinidad-api-1.0.7.jar,trinidad-impl-1.0.7.jar,
Browser IE 8.0
Find your CSS file, look for any lines that have
outline: none;
And remove them.
This will fix most, if not all of your missing focus indicator problems. There might be scenarios where you have a hidden overflow that is causing the outline to not show up on some browsers. You would have to find those and fix them by adding appropriate focus styles.

How to click on radio button which is on Popup using Coded UI

I m automating a page where there is a popup and on that there is radio button and a submit button, when i click on radio button my test fail giving error that hidden object cannot be performed action like click but its visible (not hidden) where as when i click on submit button on same popup is click. i have checked its properties but there is nothing which i can change it just have simple id,name,value which is changing dynamicly and for that i have even used regex
please help me out
Thanks
It's possible that there is another radio button on the page with similar properties. Is this a recorded object? Is the popup window listed as the parent?
Can you post the Regex you are using, the control's properties, and the properties of the popup window?
if your are using IE whose version is > 9.0.19 then there was a patch release by Microsoft to overcome this issue

How can I change the twistie icon in view control?

Is there a way how can I change the twistie icon in view control? I mean the icon used for expand/collapse buttons for categories.
In HTML source I can see, its not managed by CSS, so I can't change it this way. It seems to be rather hardcoded.
<img id="view:_id1:viewPanel1:2:viewColumn1__shrink:1.1.1.1img" alt="expanded" src="/domjava/xsp/theme/common/images/collapse.gif">
click the ViewColumn and look for Expand/Collapse Image in the all properties view :-)
