Quick Sight: Issues deleting a control - amazon-quicksight

I am new to Quicksight and having an issue with deleting a filter from the controls view. I had a parameter and filter added to a visualization and deleted them but now I cannot figure how to delete the control and not seeing the filter show up to do so. How do I remove this. I am getting the error "Filter was deleted, remove this control".

Delete the error displayed controls in the control window. To delete, click the control and click the dot mark in the upper right corner to see the remove button.

The panel where the packages are listed and the panel with my data sets are invisible

I could not understand where I clicked, but suddenly the part on the bottom right with my data sets and packages disappeared. What can I do?
You may have accidentally collapsed the frames to the right. If you mouse-over the right border, then click and drag-left, you will probably be able to see them again.
My problem was solved when I click on the below

Missing field descriptions in Visual Studio

Somehow, even though I have "Descriptions" ticked in the properties area, I've managed to somehow collapse the field descriptions area and it's not visible at the bottom of the properties window. There doesn't seem to be a "split" handle to drag upward, either (believe me, I've tried!).
Does anyone know how to get the field descriptions back?
Here's what I'm seeing:
By complete chance, I happened across the solution:
I left the properties window open and went to a code pane, and a blank field descriptions box appeared:
Dragging it upward reset the location of that splitter, making them visible again when viewing a designer:
Hopefully that will help someone else searching (as I did) to get their field descriptions back!

is there a trick to working with multiple visual studio panel objects at design time

Is there some sort of shortcut key that I am missing here for swapping panels around in the form editor of vs2010?
I have numerous panels which are swapped at runtime according to an enum "toggle" value and the only way I seem to be able to move them back and forth is to make one panel smaller than another and right click it. Half the time I end up selecting some other object in the action of trying to right my panels.
I figured there must be something i'm missing here.
there are icons on the layout toolbar for this task. I pick the panel in properties and move it around with those. Way easier than right clicking and hoping for the best.
edit: although sometimes the buttons are not enabled when you need them to be. Still right clicking a resize handle adorner dot will pop up the context menu where you can then choose to move back/forward.
I still wish there was some key combo I could press. Hitting the 4px of display area that the adorner dot occupies on my screen is sort of a dexterity test of sorts and slows me down.

How force NSMenuItem to redraw?

I'm implementing a custom status bar menu, which has a custom view with NSSearchField. I'm updating number of menu items according to search results. The number of menu items is changed as user types in the NSSearchField. I've noticed, that if number of results stays the same, items titles are not updated (redrawn). How do I force them to redraw?
In the function, that rebuilds the menu I remove first all items and then create new items according to the search results.
Thanks,
Nava
I could achieve it by following approach: When the number of search results is the same, i don't recreate them, just change the title and call itemChanged:. When the count is different I recreate menu items. This works anyway. But I was advised anyway to get back from using menu for this purposes.
on the menu set menuChangedMessagesEnabled to YES when you want to update the menu:
[menu setMenuChangedMessagesEnabled:NO];
// change the menu
[menu setMenuChangedMessagesEnabled:YES];
The second invocation causes the menu to apply changes. The first one is so that you can batch a group of changes together.
That said, Apple guidelines discourages changing menus while they're open as users are not used to this and can be confusing. If it's feasible try to redesign your app so you can use something else, say a table or matrix, instead of a menu.

How can I show NSSearchField menu programmatically?

I want to implement an NSSearchField showing search results similar to Safari's, but I cannot figure out how to show the menu programmatically. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Update: I tried doing this programmatically by calling #-performClick:# on the #NSButtonCell# object that represents the search button inside the search field's search field cell, but while I have confirmed that performClick is indeed called, it does not trigger the menu.
Safari seems to use some kind of custom or private API to show search results. It's probably a window that looks like a menu. The problem I found is that a normal pop-up menu will take the keyboard focus away from the search field, which is not what you want, which is to be able to keep typing in the search field while the menu updates. I couldn't find a simple way of doing that, but I suspect it needs to be a child window that looks like a menu.
Here's a blog which documented adding something similar to Camino: http://summerofcamino.com/
