WinJS: Hide scollbars in listview - winjs

I'm trying to hide the horizontal scrollbars in a WinJS ListView control. Any ideas? I will be making an API call that constrains the number of items returns, but if something goes wrong and more items are returned, or an error is returned, I want to make sure the layout doesn't break and horizontal scrollbars appear. This is a case where I'm floating four listviews side-by-side.

You should be able to use either the -ms-overflow-style css property or the overflow css property depending upon your desired behavior.
If you want the user to still be able to scroll, even if there are no scroll bars then you should use:
#listviewid .win-viewport{
-ms-overflow-style: none;
}
If you don't want the user to be able to scroll, just use:
#listviewid .win-viewport{
overflow: hidden;
}

Context menu for Tabulator

I try to use column header menus and row context menus in my tabulator but nothing appear. Then I realize in the DOM that the menu is there but out of the window and at the top of the tree in the dom, it's the div with the class tabulator-menu.
The DOM, the div with smd take the whole page
I use Vuejs with Bootstrap 4.
How to make it appear at the right place ?
Thanks
The menu is appearing in exactly the correctly place in the DOM.
It is standard practice in a lot of context menu libraries to append the menu directly to the body rather than to the element that triggered it, this happens because menus are often long and overflow their containing element, by absolutely positioning the elements in the DOM the sit on top of these and prevent this being an issue.
It is hard to say without seeing an example, but it is likely a z-index issue that is causing the problem.
By default Tabulator menus have a z-index of 10,000 if you have anything with a z-index higher than this it will sit over the menu.
To resolve this you simply need to add a bit of CSS after you have imported the tablator style sheet, that changes the z-index to be higher than any others on your page:
.tabulator-menu{
z-index: 99999999;
}

kentico widget config button unclickable

Is there any way to make a widget's config and move buttons be placed at the top of the widget itself.
As it is one has to hover over a widget in order to see which one of the items in the widget zone it belongs to. This is impossible though when the content of the widget is not in the same screen space (I had to zoom out in the browser in order to get the below screenshot) unless you zoom out and then zoom back in.
In this image, there are 3 seperate widgets (red, white and green respectively) in a single widget zone.
Also, when the mouse leaves the widget the widget config/move buttons are no longer visible.
One solution is to right-click on the widget and then scroll up to the config wheel but this is not something I want to tell my editors they have to do.
Has anyone else come across this problem and if so, how did they solve it?
This can happen when you have CSS conflicts. You can use Chrome Inspector, Firebug, or IE developer tool to investigate and see if anthing is 'overlapping' those buttons (often a floating div is overlapping the buttons and intercepting the 'click')
Then once you figure out a css class to make it work, just add it to your style sheet with ".EditMode " before it, this is a special class that is on the body when in page editor.
Example:
.EditMode .MyFloatingDivThatsCoveringTheWidgets {
z-index: 0;
}

TextArea without Scrollbars

I have a TextArea in my application that actually takes no interactions from the user.
Is there a way to either
Remove the scrollbar entirely and let me handle what happens when the scrollbar would appear?
Use a different object to display text to the screen? I need to be able to append text, but I don't need it to be highlight-able or take any user input.
According to your needs, you need to use label.
If you need TextArea, to remove scrollBars, you can do the next :
Use lookupAll(java.lang.String selector) method to find scrollBars, and
call scrollBar.setOpacity(0.0) for each found scrollBar.
2a. Don't call setVisible(false), as visible property (I believe) is used to TextArea to control scrollBar visibility.

How to enable "position:fixed" for elements that are within an isotope item?

I am currently using isotope to organize my portfolio. I found that if I decided to place elements inside an isotope item and make these elements' position as fixed, they will not displace fixed on screen. Instead, these elements will use the isotope item's x and y position as the initial screen position. For instance, if I place an element as position:fixed and left:0; top:0; this element will not display on the top left corner of the screen. Instead, it will display on the top left corner of the isotope item.
Another issue I encounter is that the z-index of the element inside of the isotope item is not independent. If I give the element a greater z-index than other isotope items, say if the element has the z-index of 100, and all isotope items have the z-index of 10, the "portfolio_display" will still display behind all isotope items.
To explain what I am trying to achieve:
I want to make the isotope items become clickable, and when it is being activated, a full screen portfolio display will show up and take over the screen.
I do know plugin such as lightbox 2 will work. However, I like to have my portfolio display have much richer functions than lightbox 2. I want to put case study, images, videos, in the full screen mode, and each screen can be format like web page. So my method is to put multiple formatted divs into an isotope item, and use javescript (written by myself) to control their visibility and scrolling. This method works until I started integrate isotope to my portfolio.
I imagine isotope created a little "web page" inside of the bigger "web page" so it dictates the z-index and the position inside of its own. I like to know if I can disable isotope's dictation to its sub elements without breaking its great functionality.
Thank you.
For your full-window display purposes, you can change the modal overlay technique in this demo to your purposes. No plugin needed, you can put whatever you want to show in there, not just use it as an easy self-made modal.

How to create a DHTML menu?

I need to create a DHTML menu with the specified features, but I can't figure out how to do it. Here's what I need:
All items are layed out horizontally. If they would be wider than the screen, two little arrows appear on the right side of the menu that allow to scroll it. Something like this:
+--------+--------+-------+---+---+
| Item 1 | Item 2 | Item 3| < | > |
+--------+--------+-------+---+---+
Menu items should be clickable anywhere in the cell. They should stretch both vertically and horizontally to the contents. The text in the items should be centered both vertically and horizontally. The menu should work in IE7/Opera/FF/Safari.
The scrolling is the easy part - I just place it all in a container (say, a <div>), set the container to overflow: hidden and then play around in Javascript with clientWidth, scrollWidth and scrollLeft. That I've figured out and have already tried.
But how to make the menu items so stretchy, clickable anywhere and centered text?
Try the CSS below:
#menu {
display: table;
}
#menu a {
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;
}
And then format your menu like:
<div id="menu">
normal text
<big>large text</big>
<span style="line-height:100px;">very tall text</span>
</div>
This will force vertical alignment and prevent the links from wrapping. Let us know how it works out.
OK, I talked with my superiors and they decided that it might be OK that you cannot right-click a menu item and select "Open in New Window". If this requirement is dropped, then I'm not bound to <a> elements for links. With JavaScript I can turn anything into a link. Thus, I choose you, pikachoo <table>!
Yap, it's a heresy, but it works. More specifically, it's the only construct that I can think of that can do all of the following at the same time:
Center text horizontally and vertically;
Stretch to contents horizontally and vertically;
Not wrap to next line when items are starting to overflow.
Anything else that can do the same will probably be more convulted anyway. And before anyone has the idea - no, I don't need search engine support. It's an internal web application. It'd be pretty bad if Google could index that...
clickable anywhere is easy: you can either bind the onclick event trigger (and hopefully some cursor styling) to the atomic cell element, or you can make the atomic cell elements <a> tags (or more likely wrap these in <li>) and link and style appropriately (padding, margin, foo).
e.g. case 1:
<ul id="menu"><li class="item" onclick="foo()" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand; padding:1em; margin:1px; float: left;">FOO!</li></ul>
(obviously I don't really recommend inline styling or script handlers but you get the idea)
Applying padding will effectively centre the text, and having no width assigned they'll naturally stretch to fit their content.
