I want to create a navigation panel in my C++.net application, and I want to keep a button (or similar component) depressed to show that is the page the user is currently on.
Here is a image of what I mean:
How do I create a button that looks like that. (After further inspection, I think it's not a button, however, I cannot figure out the exact control unless it is a image drawn on the screen.)
Thanks.
That is commonly called an "Outlook Bar". There are several examples at codeproject.com

I am looking for how you can build a link in draw io, so that when you click first, it hides a layer and then opens a different page of the same draw io document.
so far i tried this:
data:action/json,{"actions":[{"toggle": {"cells": ["SvuciECQg7tZUCU10AH1-3"]}},{"open": "data:page/id,IZEQzf0yfGXm-2QJ5-Q8"}]}
But it seems that the Toggle is executed after the Open, and I need the Toggle to be first and then the Open.
I even tried to do an Open of the same page I'm on, do the Toggle, and then do the Open of page 2, but it didn't work. I would appreciate if anyone knows how to do this, thank you very much.
This is pretty old, you've probably figured it out or given up by now. In case you haven't:
If you want to Hide a layer, just Hide the layer. This did exactly what you're describing: (I've inserted your IDs)
data:action/json,{"actions":[{"hide":{"cells":["SvuciECQg7tZUCU10AH1-3"]}},{"open":"data:page/id,IZEQzf0yfGXm-2QJ5-Q8"}]}
If you need to toggle the layer back on, you'll need to Show it again. The code you have works, it's kindof unexpected not knowing if the layer is showing or hidden at the start.
Unless the layer you want to show/hide is on the different page.
You won't be able to interact with objects on a page that's not in scope. In that case, you probably want to hide the layer by default. That way, when you Open the second page, the layer is already hidden.
I'd like to automate a video-player on a webpage using Selenium in Python.
I cannot locate the interactive parts of the player with driver.find_element_by_... I've decided to try and accomplish this by making browser specific logic that knows how to navigate the page and player via keyboard navigation (count tabs for Chrome, vs Safari, vs Firefox, etc.).
driver.find_element_by_tag_name('body').send_keys(Keys.TAB))
I am able to select each of the controls of the player with tab (play/pause, current position, mute-volume control, full-screen, and additional options) and have had moderate success manipulating the player's controls with ActionChains once selected with TAB navigation
actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.send_keys(Keys.DOWN) # to reduce volume or
actions.send_keys(Keys.LEFT) # to rewind playback
An example of something that doesn't work as expected with this method is sending a Key.SPACE to the MUTE button when selected. Instead the space is applied as a page navigation action and scrolls down the page like pressing page down. I'm looking for a method that either makes the controls work as expected when manually navigating the page with a keyboard, ex. space on highlighted object interacts and would normally mute the video in this context, or a workaround that lets me accomplish the same thing. To that end I was thinking if I could get the windows coordinates of the TAB selected object within the video-player and simply perform a click that would at least let me interact with the control.
Also if I'm going about this all the wrong way let me know. Thanks!
What you're really looking for is how to navigate the Shadow DOM. Those are the web elements inside the video player.
I answered how to reach inside the Shadow DOM in an other question, albeit for Java. However the principle is the same.
You can read the whole thing at the link, but the basics are you create a "starting point" WebElement at the Shadow DOM via JavaScript, then all future look-ups reference it:
WebElement button = startingPoint.findElement(By.cssSelector("..."));
I would like to disable an item in a combobox in my Win32 application (C++). I'm not quite sure how to do this. I'm trying to achieve something that looks like this:
Notice how CollectionItem2 and 3 are greyed-out.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
If you truly need a combobox for this, then (as #IInspectable said) you'll need to do a custom drawn control. Basically, you'll have to store some information saying which items are disabled/grayed, and draw the items appropriately based on whether they're enabled or not.
There may be a somewhat easier way though. This is normally done with a Split Button. This is button with the BS_SPLITBUTTON style set. When the drop-down part of the button is clicked, it sends a BCN_DROPDOWN notification.
You normally respond to that by displaying a menu, typically using TrackPopupMenu to display it immediately below the button (or immediately to its right, if you prefer). This is a normal menu, so it can have items enabled, disabled, grayed, have check boxes, etc., as you see fit.
If you're using MFC, it has a CSplitButton class that wraps the Split Button, simplifying the code a little bit--you can pass an identifier of a menu and sub-menu when you create the CSplitButton object, and it handles things from there.
A sample result probably looks pretty familiar:
Note: MFC also has a CMfcMenuButton class. This has roughly similar functionality, but is somewhat clumsier to use. If memory serves, it is compatible with older versions of Windows (but the split button goes back to Vista, so it's fine unless you really need to support XP).
I want to build a "Picker Menu" inside a screen. I think the time picker popup components are not smooth enough to use, because they require extra clicks instead of just dragging to the wanted element.
The component should return the selected value + change the color of the selected value. I thought of ListView/ ScrollView, but I couldn't find a way to get that working yet.
Below: A great gimp graphic to show what the goal is, placing the Android Time Picker inside the screen as visual example.
That's what it could look like
Any ideas where to start? How can I build something like this with the React-Native components?
You can use react-native-wheel-picker or react-native-wheel-picker-android. These libraries provide wheel picker without opening any popup.
I'm developing a GDK app where I need to provide an user experience to display status text similar to video recording status that Glass provides ( displaying "Recording" status then displaying progress indicator and finally showing 'Complete' text ). Appreciate your input.
Right now, you'll need to write your own UI logic to do this (perhaps by using a Dialog with a custom layout that has the appropriate centered label and icon, with a progress bar at the bottom, and changing the label and dismissing the dialog when the action is complete).
You may want to follow issue 271 in our issue tracker, which covers the progress indicator part of this flow.
Tony is right. There is no way to do this naively but you can build it yourself. You can create a layout that is build exactly like the menu is built in the GDK, and then just update the setcontentview() with a new layout each time you want to move to the next card. Also you can build a layout with the holo horizontal progressbar to get the general idea but it won't be like the one Google uses.
Also wanted to add that I have built a repo that you can drop into your project for this. Here is the link: https://github.com/w9jds/GDK-ProgressBar
