I am using the Extension Libraries Application Layout Control and need to have a banner graphic placed in the .lotusBanner div on the right. How can this be done as it seems that the Application Layout Control can't be modified.
You could use the utilityLinksFacet on the extended control that Steve Pridemore did.

or you could use onload javascript to add it.
I was able to place a graphic in the upper right of the Application Layout Control in the Banner area by doing the following:
In the control under the Banner > Utility links I added a Basic node. For the node I specified the href and image. This worked and placed the image n the correct spot.
Artifacts of this were the location of the Banner Application links. To remedy this I used some CSS for the .lotusBanner ul.lotusLinks {margin-top: 45px;position:absolute;}
The margin-top was to push the links down so I could enlarge the logo that is used by the Application Layout Control.
The applicationLayout control in ExtLib is, as you have found out, locked down to only allow certain aspects of the configuration to be changed by the developer. You can add links to different sections of the applicationLayout but nothing beyond that.
One possible alternative is to NOT use the applictionLayout control itself but create your own approximation of it in a custom control, You would need to add all the necessary panels/divs with the special oneUI2 classes in all the correct places and then add editable areas and callbacks within these panels for the parts that you would want to customize throughout the application. All of the other sections in the applicationLayout control, like the bannerUtilityLinks are created using the ListofLinks control that is also found in the Extension Library.

using extLib's applicationLayout control I'd like to place a link to a different application inside the bannerApplicationLinks node. This basically works fine using a basicLeafNode if it wasn't for the fact that the other application opens in the same browser tab. There apprently isn't any way to set the target for any kind of linking node control.
Before I go ahead and rebuild layout and navigator from scratch so that I can use standard link controls: does probably someone know some kind of well-kept secret how I could accomplish this task the simple way?
This limitation btw. applies to all types of link node elements available from extLib...
It doesn't look like this is easy to add. Unlike normal links, the basicLeafNode does not seem to have a target attribute. If it did, a theme would allow you to set the default value of the target to "_new".
If you want to try extending the basicLeafNode, the code for the component is in com.ibm.xsp.extlib.controls plugin, com.ibm.xsp.extlib.tree.complex.ComplexLeafTreeNode. You would need to add a target property and also expose it in the configuration files in com.ibm.xsp.extlib.config package (extlib-outline_en.properties, extlib-outline.xsp-config and raw-extlib-outline.xsp-config.
The link is written in the renderEntryItemContent method in com.ibm.xsp.extlib.renderkit.html_extended.outline.tree.HtmlTagsRenderer (bear in mind that this covers other link classes, not all of which will have a target attribute).
The best option you have is to use CSS (for targeting) and CSJS in the onLoad event to add the target attribute to the links. In the onLoad you select all links with a specific class (or all links inside a named element) and add the target "_blank" attribute.
I am not an expert on themes but i would like to know if it is possible to accomplish that:
Once i pull a panel into a facet i am hiding the panel by disabling the output tag and setting a special css class only for the designer client.
Has somebody tried to do that automatically in themes by checking if the panel is in a facet(Maybe ask for the key: property)?
I have tried to change the panel but i dont know how to set a certain style class based on a property of the panel.
To my best knowledge: A theme styles content rendered, not attributes that define if content gets rendered or not.
You have 2 options you could use:
create your own little extension library with controls you want to use everywhere. Add one 'containerPlaceholder' (or whatever you would call it) that doesn't render any own output, but only it's children.
use a snippet you simply paste into your source code.
don't use a panel or div, but add your custom controls to the callbacks. Makes your XPage more readable (that's what I do)
Hope that helps
I started using Tizen SDK to develop a native app. And I have to make a form into a form. Actually, it works, but I've some bugs with it. I mean, the footer bar is bugged, when I click on an item from the footer. The app crash immediatly...
Do you know how to resolve it ?
Thanks
I don't think it a good choice to make a Form into a Form. If you want reuse UI form, it's better to use Panel instead.
Here is description of Panel from dev guide.
Tizen::Ui::Controls::Panel class is a general rectangular container that you can use to group UI controls, or even other panels. Panels can be used to create a custom background for a defined area, or for organizing and aligning UI controls. However, by default, the look-and-feel of a panel does not differ from its surrounding Tizen::Ui::Controls::Form control.
I am using the XPages Extension Library mobile controls to create a mobile web interface for an existing Notes app.
When displaying a document with a large number of fields I would like to use an accordion type UI so that parts of the page can be expanded or collapsed to show or hide the fields in each pane (similar to sections in a traditional Notes client app).
Having looked at the "Accordion Outline" in the Ext Lib demo app I started to build the page using the Outline control. Within each entry (node) of the Outline I, ideally, want to place a rounded list and then put my fields & controls inside that.
But it looks like the nodes in the Outline can't contain this type of content - unless I'm missing something?
Any suggestions as to which controls I can use this type of UI?
Thanks
You can any time use an xp:panel and assign it the dijit.accordeon (look up the exact name please) dojo type. Then you can put anything inside including repeat controls etc. I would guess it might make sense to build your own CC to hold the content for each accordeon panel
I'm creating a specific DataGridView control that includes two scrollbars so that I can control their size and visibility. So, I have created a User control that contains the DataGridView and the two scrollbars inside a 2x2 TableLayoutPanel.
The issue I'm facing is that when I add my control to a Windows Form, I can't set my DataGridView's DataSource or define the column styles from the design view, because the link that I use for that when I use a common DataGridView (that little white arrow appearing on the top right side of the DataGridView) is not appearing.
While doing some testing, I saw that if I inherit my control from DataGridView, that link appears. But if I do that, I guess that I can only extend the functionality for the DataGridView, but I need my control to be a composite control.
So, that's my question: how can I get those design-time capabilities on my custom control? I am specially interested on the columns layout and the datasource.
Best regards.
If you are doing a usercontrol (a control that has an .ascx codebehind file) there seems to be no way to control this:
How to hide the inner controls of a UserControl in the Designer?
If you are doing a WebControl (a class that inehrits from WebControl with no .ascx file) you may create your own designer and maybe somehow output the designers of both conrols. Have a look at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/12yydcke.aspx it explains how to create a webcontrol and its desgner.
Some things with usercontrols/webcontrols seem to be easy but are hard to implement...
Hope this helps!
