I have a use case as i need to add the searchbar in the navbar header (RightNavButton).
Searching the text should display the results in the listview in the page.
While searching existing view should be hidden and results should be shown, onCancel of SearchBar should hide the search results and show the original view.
This functionality should be across the application.
Currently i am adding the search result listview in each page and making show/hide by adding the SearchText method.
Is there any way to add/remove the search result view dynamically in each page?

I need users to be able to navigate a data hierarchy (master level, detail level) and to create new master and detail objects accordingly. Both master and detail use arrays for their model and TableViews for presentation
The navigation flow for this uses 2 navigation and table controllers like below. The + of the master and detail TableViews create new objects, the forstTableCell navigates to the second TableView using a segue:
While the screenshot shows "Done" right now even when removing that ButtonItem the slot remains empty.
I would like to show the standard back button instead: "< Middlewares" in this case. In the tests I've only been able to get the back button when navigating to a normal ViewController, but not to another NavigationController. Is it possible to have it between Navigation Controllers, too?
Simply remove the second navigation controller. If you use a push segue, your second view controller will still have the navigation bar. As long as you don't use a modal segue all view controllers that are pushed will have a navigation bar.
So your storyboard will look like this:
You will then automatically have a back button. If you want to change the text of it, go to your navigation item of your first view controller and change the back title accordingly as shown in this screenshot
You certainly want to have a title in your second view controller (something like "Add [whatever you want to add]". So simply drag & drop a UINavigationItem on your second view controller then you can also add UIBarButton items in your Interface builder
Controlling the look/feel of the Navigation Bar Buttons
You can achieve the behavior you want by opening the Document Outline and find the existing Done button. If you have a UIBarButtonItem type, you can simply change the type to Custom in the Inspector. Next add a regular button within the UIBarButtonItem (just bring the Navigation bar for the target controller into the zoomed in view of the storyboard/xib). This will allow you to drag a button onto the navigation bar.
Once you have a standard button you can add an image with the back arrow. Then add supporting code to use the pop behavior on the Navigation bar. Since you can have only one root navigation controller, you may want to remove the second UINavigationController and add a UINavigationItem from the objects library and then subsequently add the buttons, titles of your choice. This configuration will allow you to leverage all of the push and pop methods available, while retaining full control of the look/feel/behavior of the navigation stack.
More on customizing the look/feel/behavior of the UINavigation Stack can be found at: Navigation API Docs
Think about the scenario, where the page has to render the content dynamically when they do some operation on page.
Here basically, page will contain a list of rendering and in each rendering we will be able to get the current item using below statement.
var item = Sitecore.Mvc.Presentation.RenderingContext.Current.Rendering.Item;
Now if i have to show the content on button click, we will do a ajax call to our mvc controller/action, and in our Action we can render the item by following statements.
Item item = SitecoreHelper.GetSCDb().GetItem("{item id}");
or
Item item = SitecoreHelper.GetSCDb().GetItem("item path");
But in both the cases we have to hardcode the id/path.
So can anyone tell me, is there any better approach to do this.
I appreciate your help.
Cheers:)
Something I've done on Sitecore + MVC projects was for content items that are going to be accessed by both Page Editor and by AJAX calls in JavaScript, is creating a new device in that items template _StandardValues, in that I set the query to ?Ajax=true. I then put only the HTML piece (without styles, and JS) as the layout. While the desktop view has what it would look like "after" it's been called by AJAX. This doesn't need any .net coding, it's all done via sitecore.
My application has a list view (master) containing a data sheet view in a sub view element.
In the list view, I would like to use some control like a button or a combo box to filter the data in the sub view. How can I pass a parameter for the filter from the master view to the sub view?
I don't believe the scenario you are looking at here will be directly possible within the Access web app context. Let me explain.
In Access 2013 web apps, there is no macro action available to requery or refresh a specific control on a view. The same goes for trying to refresh a Subview control on a view. The only way you can pass parameters to a different view in the web app context is by using the OpenPopup macro action. In that case the view will open as a popup which is not what you want here either.
So you might not be able to achieve your end goal. One suggestion that might work is to have say an unbound text box control on the main parent view. For the Subview control, use that unbound control as the Master Field (in the property list). Access will attempt to match records from this unbound control to whatever field you designate as the Child Field property. If you update that unbound text box control on the main view, Access should filter the results in the Subview. I "think" that will work.
It works in my app. SubForm updates with filter when focus leaves the txtbox. Unfortunately, you can only search one field per subview as it is set as a property at design time and AFAIK there is no way to change at runtime.
I've been translating a theme by simply customizing the HTML, but I've run into a problem:
The "Add to cart" button on a product page. I can translate the label on the button, but when you click the button the text changes from "Add to cart" to "Adding..." and then to "Added!".
Neither "Adding..." nor "Added!" are anywhere to be found the HTML of the theme, so I'm wondering where I should look if I want to translate those?
The "Adding", "Added" response comes from the theme's javascript - unfortunately that's hard-coded in and there's not a way to change it. You may want to try modifying another theme that doesn't use ajax to add products to your cart, like Sexy, Luna, or Nova - then you should be able to have more control over translating your store completely.
I want to implement a ‘modal’ view like the ‘search’ view of the AppStore on the iPad.
When shown, it should:
Still show the tab bar. Selecting any of the items should take you to their view as normal.
No tab bar item is highlighted (because the search view is ‘modal’).
The closest I’ve come, with existing APIs, is:
On the ‘search’ view controller, set the UIModalPresentationCurrentContext modal presentation style.
Show ‘search’ view controller modal from the active view controller inside the tab bar controller (not from the tab bar controller itself).
However, this does not seem to be the right path:
View controller is shown underneath the status bar. I can work around that from -[UIViewController viewDidAppear:], but when changing the orientation of the device, this leads to all sorts of drawing issues and the controller, again, tucks itself underneath the status bar.
Tab bar item is still highlighted.
to keep showing the search bar just trim the modal view's hight so that it doesn't cover the tab bar.
For orientation changes, you just need to handle that by changing the view size and making sure the modal view is always brought to the front of all the views. You can modify that view's frame and contents programmatically or you can just create nibs for the orientations you want to support and load them up when it changes. Also note if you do change the view's frame programmatically you will probably need to resize/reposition fields as well.
For dealing with the tab bar, you should be able to turn off the highlighted item. So when you pop up the modal also make sure to turn off the highlighted item. If you want to interact with the toolbar from the modal view you can do that with delegates, passing an instance of the parent view (or just accessing parent view... I think you get that for free)
