Monotouch.dialog EntryElement not being updated after editing - xamarin.ios

I'm using this code to create the dialog:
SettingsDialog settingDialog = new SettingsDialog ();
RootElement dialog = settingDialog.CreateDialog ();
DialogViewController dv = new DialogViewController (dialog, true);
dv.ViewDissapearing += delegate(object sender1, EventArgs e1) {
// update the values
Config.VendorId = settingDialog.VendorId;
} ;
NavigationController.PushViewController (dv, true);
Ths is the code for the SettingsDialogClass
public class SettingsDialog
{
private EntryElement idElement;
public RootElement CreateDialog ()
{
idElement = new EntryElement ("Vendor Id", string.Empty, Config.VendorId.ToString (CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)){ KeyboardType = UIKeyboardType.NumberPad };
element = new RootElement ("Configuration"){
new Section (){
idElement
} ,
...
}
public string VendorId {
get {
return idElement.Value;
}
}
The problem is that the above property ALWAYS returns the old value, it never gets updated.
Any idea why?
Thank,
Ignacio

I found the answer to my question, this thread had the key to it
How can I pass data into MonoTouch.Dialog's delegates?
this line:
i was able to get around it by calling field.FetchValue() before trying to retrieve it
So I modified the property as
public string VendorId {
get {
idElement.FetchValue();
return idElement.Value;
}
}

Overriding PXFilteredProcessingJoin and delegate for APPrintChecks

I have the same issue as the below link but with a different graph (APPrintChecks)
how-do-i-override-pxfilteredprocessingjoin-in-a-graph-extension-without-altering
I am overriding the main view to pull in the remittance name from APContact to show in the grid.
[PXFilterable]
public PXFilteredProcessingJoin<APPayment, PrintChecksFilter,
InnerJoin<Vendor, On<Vendor.bAccountID, Equal<APPayment.vendorID>>,
InnerJoin<APContact, On<APContact.contactID, Equal<APPayment.remitContactID>>>>,
Where<boolTrue, Equal<boolTrue>>,
OrderBy<Asc<Vendor.acctName, Asc<APPayment.refNbr>>>> APPaymentList;
However, I do not know how to override the delegate so I won't have the same problem as the other poster (no filter being applied).
protected virtual IEnumerable appaymentlist()
{
if (cleared)
{
foreach (APPayment doc in APPaymentList.Cache.Updated)
{
doc.Passed = false;
}
}
foreach (PXResult<APPayment, Vendor, PaymentMethod, CABatchDetail> doc in PXSelectJoin<APPayment,
InnerJoinSingleTable<Vendor, On<Vendor.bAccountID, Equal<APPayment.vendorID>>,
InnerJoin<PaymentMethod, On<PaymentMethod.paymentMethodID, Equal<APPayment.paymentMethodID>>,
LeftJoin<CABatchDetail, On<CABatchDetail.origModule, Equal<BatchModule.moduleAP>,
And<CABatchDetail.origDocType, Equal<APPayment.docType>,
And<CABatchDetail.origRefNbr, Equal<APPayment.refNbr>>>>>>>,
Where2<Where<APPayment.status, Equal<APDocStatus.pendingPrint>,
And<CABatchDetail.batchNbr, IsNull,
And<APPayment.cashAccountID, Equal<Current<PrintChecksFilter.payAccountID>>,
And<APPayment.paymentMethodID, Equal<Current<PrintChecksFilter.payTypeID>>,
And<Match<Vendor, Current<AccessInfo.userName>>>>>>>,
And<APPayment.docType, In3<APDocType.check, APDocType.prepayment, APDocType.quickCheck>>>>.Select(this))
{
yield return new PXResult<APPayment, Vendor>(doc, doc);
if (_copies.ContainsKey((APPayment)doc))
{
_copies.Remove((APPayment)doc);
}
_copies.Add((APPayment)doc, PXCache<APPayment>.CreateCopy(doc));
}
}
There are other private variables that are referenced in this. Any help appreciated.
Also, if there's a simpler way to pull in a related value on a grid like this (virtual field in DAC?) I'm not stuck on doing it with a graph extension.
So this appears to work but it seems messy and duplicates a lot of code and private variables. Appreciate any feedback if there's a better way to do this:
public class APPrintChecks_Extension : PXGraphExtension<APPrintChecks> {
[PXFilterable]
public PXFilteredProcessingJoin<APPayment, PrintChecksFilter,
InnerJoin<Vendor, On<Vendor.bAccountID, Equal<APPayment.vendorID>>,
InnerJoin<APContact, On<APContact.contactID, Equal<APPayment.remitContactID>>>>,
Where<boolTrue, Equal<boolTrue>>,
OrderBy<Asc<Vendor.acctName, Asc<APPayment.refNbr>>>> APPaymentList;
public IEnumerable appaymentlist()
{
if (cleared)
{
foreach (APPayment doc in APPaymentList.Cache.Updated)
{
doc.Passed = false;
}
}
foreach (PXResult<APPayment, Vendor, APContact, PaymentMethod, CABatchDetail> doc in PXSelectJoin<APPayment,
InnerJoinSingleTable<Vendor, On<Vendor.bAccountID, Equal<APPayment.vendorID>>,
InnerJoin<APContact, On<APContact.contactID, Equal<APPayment.remitContactID>>,
InnerJoin<PaymentMethod, On<PaymentMethod.paymentMethodID, Equal<APPayment.paymentMethodID>>,
LeftJoin<CABatchDetail, On<CABatchDetail.origModule, Equal<BatchModule.moduleAP>,
And<CABatchDetail.origDocType, Equal<APPayment.docType>,

{

if (_copies.ContainsKey((APPayment)doc))
{
_copies.Remove((APPayment)doc);
}
_copies.Add((APPayment)doc, PXCache<APPayment>.CreateCopy(doc));
}
}
private bool cleared;
public void Clear()
{
Base.Filter.Current.CurySelTotal = 0m;
Base.Filter.Current.SelTotal = 0m;
Base.Filter.Current.SelCount = 0;
cleared = true;
Base.Clear();
}
private readonly Dictionary<object, object> _copies = new Dictionary<object, object>();
}
Per Rick's suggestion I implemented the FieldSelecting method. Much, much simpler/cleaner code. It does in fact cause a round trip to the database for each row when using this in a grid column, however, for check printing this should be acceptable. Thanks Rick! Code below.
protected void APPayment_UsrRemitTo_FieldSelecting(PXCache cache, PXFieldSelectingEventArgs e)
{
var row = (APPayment)e.Row;
// fill usrRemitTo from APContact
if (row != null)
{
var extension = PXCache<APRegister>.GetExtension<APRegisterExt>(row);
using (PXConnectionScope cs = new PXConnectionScope())
{
APContact rec = PXSelectReadonly<APContact, Where<APContact.contactID, Equal<Required<APPayment.remitContactID>>>>.Select(Base, row.RemitContactID);
if (rec != null)
{
string remitToName = (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(rec.FullName)) ? rec.FullName : "";
e.ReturnValue = remitToName;
}
else
{
e.ReturnValue = "";
}
}
}
}
Using DBScalar, you can further simplify your event with just one line :
public class APPaymentExt : PXCacheExtension<APPayment>
{
#region UsrRemitTo
[PXString(100)]
[PXUIField(DisplayName="Remit To")]
[PXDBScalar(typeof(Search<APContact.fullName,Where<APContact.contactID, Equal<APPayment.remitContactID>>>))]
public virtual string UsrRemitTo { get; set; }
public abstract class usrRemitTo : PX.Data.BQL.BqlString.Field<usrRemitTo> { }
#endregion
}

ViewModel property sort of fatal with VMDisconnectedException

EDIT 2: If you're looking for an answer to a similar problem, check Stuart's answer and my comments on it.
EDIT: I am actually getting a Mono.Debugger.Soft.VMDisconnectedException. I also recently installed Windows 8.1 and Resharper (though Resharper is suspended now).
When I access a very simple list property of my view model in my MVVMCross Xamarin iOS application, the program fails. It doesn't quit most of the time: it acts like it's running. The simulator has a black screen and there is no exception. If I breakpoint on if (messagesViewModel != null) source.ItemsSource = messagesViewModel.Messages; and then type messagesViewModel.Messages into the Immediate Window, everything stops, so I can tell it is failing at this line. If instead I "step over", it never moves to the next line.
I was having similar behavior when I was toggling this code in the MvxTableViewSource:
public override int RowsInSection(UITableView tableview, int section)
{
return 1;
}
My view model looks like this:
public class MessagesViewModel : MvxViewModel
{
private List<BaseMessage> _messages = null;
public List<BaseMessage> Messages
{
get
{
return _messages; //yes, I know I'm returning null
//I wasn't at first.
}
}
public MessagesViewModel()
{
}
}
This is my ViewDIdLoad on the MvxTableViewController:
public override void ViewDidLoad()
{
base.ViewDidLoad();
var source = new MessagesTableViewSource(TableView);
//was binding here, removed it for debug purposes
//failure on second line here
var messagesViewModel = ViewModel as MessagesViewModel;
if (messagesViewModel != null) source.ItemsSource = messagesViewModel.Messages;
TableView.Source = source;
TableView.ReloadData();
}
Some initialization code:
public class App : MvxApplication
{
public App()
{
var appStart = new MvxAppStart<MessagesViewModel>();
Mvx.RegisterSingleton<IMvxAppStart>(appStart);
}
}
public partial class AppDelegate : MvxApplicationDelegate
{
//empty functions removed.
public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication app, NSDictionary options)
{
Window = new UIWindow(UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds);
var presenter = new MvxTouchViewPresenter(this, Window);
var setup = new Setup(this, presenter);
setup.Initialize();
var startup = Mvx.Resolve<IMvxAppStart>();
startup.Start();
Window.MakeKeyAndVisible();
return true;
}
}
I suspect whatever the error is, it isn't in any of the code you have posted.
I just created a simple ViewModel:
public class FirstViewModel
: MvxViewModel
{
private List<string> _items = new List<string>() { "One", "Two", "Three"};
public List<string> Items
{
get { return _items; }
set { _items = value; RaisePropertyChanged(() => Items); }
}
}
And a simple View:
[Register("FirstView")]
public class FirstView : MvxTableViewController
{
public override void ViewDidLoad()
{
base.ViewDidLoad();
// ios7 layout
if (RespondsToSelector(new Selector("edgesForExtendedLayout")))
EdgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdge.None;
var firstViewModel = ViewModel as FirstViewModel;
var source = new MessagesTableViewSource(TableView);
source.ItemsSource = firstViewModel.Items;
TableView.Source = source;
}
public class MessagesTableViewSource : MvxTableViewSource
{
public MessagesTableViewSource(UITableView tableView) : base(tableView)
{
tableView.RegisterClassForCellReuse(typeof(MessagesCell), new NSString("MessagesCell"));
}
protected override UITableViewCell GetOrCreateCellFor(UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath, object item)
{
return tableView.DequeueReusableCell("MessagesCell");
}
}
public class MessagesCell : MvxTableViewCell
{
public MessagesCell(IntPtr handle)
: base(handle)
{
var txt = new UILabel(new RectangleF(0, 0, 320, 44));
Add(txt);
this.DelayBind(() =>
{
this.CreateBinding(txt).Apply();
});
}
}
}
And this code runs fine...
I wouldn't completely trust the integration of Xamarin.iOS with the Immediate window - it is better now than it used to be, but I've seen several problems with it before.
Some things to possibly check:
does the above code work for you?
if it does, then what's in your BaseMessage and MessagesTableViewSource classes - perhaps they are causing the problem?
can you use Mvx.Trace("The list is {0}", messagesViewModel.Messages ?? "-null") to view the list? Can you use trace within the ViewModel property get - is it being called? Can you use trace within the ViewModel constructor?
are all your assemblies building against the same versions of things? Are all your assemblies definitely rebuilt? (Check "Build|Configuration Manager")- what version of Xamarin.iOS are you running in VS and in the Mac?

MonoTouch DialogViewController - why must it be in the first place of a UINavigationController?

I want to use a DialogViewController inside of a UITabViewController.
Problem: Nested elements don't show a navigation bar, and so it is not possible to go back.
When I push my class (inherited from DialogViewController) to a UINavigationController, then the behavior is correct. If I use the same class in a tab of a UITabViewController (even with an underlying UINavigationController), then the behaviour is wrong.
Can anyone help me out?
Although the question is not assisted with some code sample, I made a small example hoping to solve your question. For this example I used the Tabbed Application template which comes with Xamarin.iOS and named it TabbingTest.
The following code goes in the AppDelegate. Change the FinishedLaunching method to contain:
public override bool FinishedLaunching (UIApplication app, NSDictionary options)
{
window = new UIWindow (UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds);
var viewControllers = new UIViewController[]
{
CreateTabFor("Test", "first", new TestDialogController ()),
CreateTabFor("Second", "second", new SecondViewController ()),
};
tabBarController = new UITabBarController ();
tabBarController.ViewControllers = viewControllers;
tabBarController.SelectedViewController = tabBarController.ViewControllers[0];
window.RootViewController = tabBarController;
window.MakeKeyAndVisible ();
return true;
}
Then add the following methods:
private int _createdSoFarCount = 0;
private UIViewController CreateTabFor(string title, string imageName, UIViewController view)
{
var controller = new UINavigationController();
controller.NavigationBar.TintColor = UIColor.Black;
var screen = view;
SetTitleAndTabBarItem(screen, title, imageName);
controller.PushViewController(screen, false);
return controller;
}
private void SetTitleAndTabBarItem(UIViewController screen, string title, string imageName)
{
screen.Title = NSBundle.MainBundle.LocalizedString (title, title);
screen.TabBarItem = new UITabBarItem(title, UIImage.FromBundle(imageName),
_createdSoFarCount);
_createdSoFarCount++;
}
Create a class named TestDialogController and paste the following code inside.
using System;
using MonoTouch.Dialog;
using MonoTouch.UIKit;
namespace TabbingTest
{
public class TestDialogController : DialogViewController
{
public TestDialogController (): base(UITableViewStyle.Plain,null,false)
{
var root = new RootElement ("Tabbing test"){
new Section (){
new RootElement ("First level", 0, 0) {
new Section (null, "This is the first level."){
new RootElement ("Second level", 0, 0) {
new Section (null, "This is the second level."){
new BooleanElement ("Flipflops", false)
}
}
}
}}
};
this.Root = root;
}
}
}
Now run the application.
You can see that even the nested elements show up nicely in the navigation bar. Even with multilevel nesting.

Monotouch Dialog Custom Element and GetHeight not being called

Using Monotouch 5.2.11 iOS
I have followed this tutorial (http://tirania.org/monomac/archive/2011/Jan-18.html), created a custom cell with an image and have also added the IElementSizing Interface. The GetHeight is never called.
Similar questions have been asked and the generally accepted solution was to make sure and create the RootElements first, set the UnEvenRows=true before adding them to the Controller. This did not work. I've tried that as well as about every other combination of adding sections to root elements and have not ever seen the GetHeight fired.
The MyDataElement is an image that is 320x200 which displays fine, but the string element that comes after it is not shown (assuming it is behind it). Consequently if I drag the custom cell up above the top, it disappears, reappears, and the second stringelement displays on top of it.
Here is the code I've tried:
public class MyDataElement : Element, IElementSizing {
static NSString key = new NSString ("myDataElement");
public MyData MyData;
public MyDataElement (MyData myData) : base (null)
{
MyData = myData;
}
public float GetHeight (UITableView tableView, NSIndexPath indexPath){
return 200f; // break point here is never hit ever
}
public override UITableViewCell GetCell (UITableView tv)
{
var cell = tv.DequeueReusableCell (key) as MyDataCell;
if (cell == null)
cell = new MyDataCell (MyData, key);
else
cell.UpdateCell (MyData);
return cell;
}
public partial class TableTester : DialogViewController
{
public TableTester () : base (UITableViewStyle.Grouped, null)
{
var re = new RootElement("Sample") {
new Section("Testy") {
new MyDataElement(new MyData() { stuff="hello"}),
new StringElement("Sample")
}
};
re.UnevenRows = true;
this.Root = re;
//this.Root = root;
}
}
In addition to that I've even done this which didn't work either:
public class TestNavigator : UINavigationController {
public TestNavigator() {
TabBarItem = new UITabBarItem("Test", null, 1);
var re = new RootElement("Sample") {
new Section("Sammy") {
new StringElement("Sample"),
new MyDataElement(new MyData() { stuff="sam"}),
new StringElement("Sample 2")
}
};
re.UnevenRows = true;
var dv = new DialogViewController(re);
re.UnevenRows = true;
PushViewController(dv, true);
}
After plenty of trial and error, I had to make sure and remove the reference to Monotouch.Dialog that I had downloaded from github and use the built in reference. It seems that the getheight maybe broken in github.

DataGrid doesnt display anything (WCF-RIA)

this is the code of my page:
OrganizationContext ctx = new OrganizationContext();
public EmployeeList()
{
InitializeComponent();
ctx.Load(ctx.GetEmployeesQuery(), LoadBehavior.MergeIntoCurrent, EmployeesLoaded, null);
}
private void EmployeesLoaded(LoadOperation lo)
{
dataGrid1.ItemsSource = lo.Entities;
}
The callback executes, and the LoadOperation.Entities.Count is 291 but for some reason the grid doesnt display anything. By the way i've tried setting the DataContext property and still doesnt work.
1st,make your DataGrid's attribute AutoGenerateColumns="True";
2nd the code should like:
OrganizationContext ctx = new OrganizationContext();
public EmployeeList()
{
InitializeComponent();
LoadOperation lo=ctx.Load(ctx.GetEmployeesQuery());
dataGrid1.ItemsSource = lo.Entities;
}
