Can I use two different '''merge''' inside a single '''ngAfterViewInit'''? - events

I am using material nav and have two views under it, for that I have merged a number of events like this,
'''merge(this.Sort.sortChange, this.Paginator.page, fromEvent(this.Btn.nativeElement, 'click'), '''
and I also have similar merge inside the same ngAfterInit(), is there any way there won't be a conflict among paginator and sort events .
because of having two different merge my second view is not rendering data and all sorting and paginator events for the second view are also being triggered by the first view .

I couldn't figure out the problem but this was solved by a collegue. The problem was with the variables I was using or so, as the component was discarded we will never know the actual reason behind it. For now we are already using multiple merge inside a single lifecycle function and they are working fine afa we know. If you are also planning to do the same, make sure to create diff variables for all uses.

Apply a sort to a dataset in a PowerApps component (PCF)

I’m trying to create a new dataset type Powerapps Component (PCF). For the moment I am using it to display a view of the records that are available in an entity in Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
I wish to make the view sort itself when I click on the grid column headers (in a similar way that the default CRM grid view does). I'm trying to figure out how to apply a sort to the dataset so that I can refresh it as indicated by the documentation for the dataset.refresh() function:
Refreshes the dataset based on filters, sorting, linking, new column.
New data will be pushed to control in another 'updateView' cycle.
The dataset object does have a “sorting” property, but changing its value and then refreshing the dataset doesn’t seem to have any effect. After the refresh, the sorting property reverts to the value it had before I changed it.
In short, the click handler for the grid header does something like the following bit of code. The refresh gets done and my updateView() function gets called as expected but the sorting was not applied.
dataset.sorting = [{name: 'createdon', sortDirection: 1}];
dataset.refresh();
Any help on getting the dataset sorting to work would be appreciated.
I've been experimenting with PowerApps Component Framework a little bit recently and I can confirm that the following code won't be working:
dataSet.sorting = [ { name: "columnName", sortDirection: 0 } ];
However, I managed to get this one working for me:
dataSet.sorting.pop(); // you may want to clean up the whole collection
dataSet.sorting.push({ name: "columnName", sortDirection: 0 });
I haven't really figured out the reason of this behavior. The sorting array may be implemented as some form of observable collection in the background.
I hope this will guide you to a functioning solution.
The documentation is pretty abysmal here, but here is my best guess from putting a few different pieces of information together.
TLDR: I think there is some kind of extra method that needs to be called on the .sorting property, but I can't find out what it is called. Maybe something like:
dataset.sorting.setSorting({name: 'createdon', sortDirection: 1});
I think you're going to have to try a bunch of likely method names and see what works.
Background and links:
The only reference I could find to dataset.sorting was from here:
In this preview for canvas apps, only a limited set of filtering and sortStatus methods are supported. Filter and sort can be applied to dataset on primary type columns except for the GUID. Filter and sorting can be applied in the same way as in model-driven apps.To retrieve the dataset with filtering and sorting information, call
the methods in context.parameters.[dataset_property_name].filtering
and context.parameters.[dataset_property_name].sorting, then invoke
the context.parameters.[dataset_property_name].refresh().
So it seems that the .filtering and .sorting properties are handled similarly, and that there are some methods attached to them, and only some are supported. That is about as vague as they could make it...
I did find an example of how .filtering is used:
_context.parameters.sampleDataset.filtering.setFilter({
conditions: conditionArray,
filterOperator: 1, // Or
});
There is a brief reference to .setFilter() in the docs, as well as FilterExpression
There is a SortStatus reference, but it doesn't have any corresponding methods explicitly called out. It is possible that this is not yet a supported feature in the public preview, or the documentation is lacking and the name and syntax of the method you need to call on .sorting is not yet documented.

Removing dynamic template events in Meteor

So, we all know that you can add events post-render by calling Template.templateName.events() and passing in new events. My question is: How do I remove them? I've found that I'm adding them how I like, but I end up with several of the same event, that all fire, and it's causing all sorts of problems. Is there a specific place that meteor stores the actual events? Where I could clear them out?
Template events should not be called several times but used once for static event definitions for this template that every instance of the template will listen to.
The documentation is not very helpful here. However, if you need dynamic template events you are still in good hands using the classic addEventListener or jQuery on and use bind to bind them to the template instance.
Don't forget to remove them when required but at least in Template#onDestroyed
I found that Template.templateName.__eventMaps = [] did the trick. I run this before creating a new instance of my template, and therefore only get one set of event handlers. woo!

Get list of currently dispatched events

I know this question may seem weird but I'd like to get a list of currently dispatched events.
The thing is that I am a lazy man and I would like to check if the 'checkout_cart_add_product_complete' has been fired without creating an observer for it.
So the idea is to get an array of all dispatched events and do an in_array on it :)
I thought that Mage::getEvents()->getAllEvents() would throw some info but it just returns an empty array.
I also digged a bit in lib/Varien/Event files and folders but didn't manage to be successful at creating an observer programmatically. Yep, I know, why being simple while one can be complicated ? :)
So this main question (getting a list of dispatched events) hides another (for the pure knowledge) wich would be "how to create an observer programmatically".
What do you think?
Thanks a lot!
Take a look at dispatchEvent and you'll see that events are only loaded from the assorted config.xml files, via SimpleXML. I cannot see any way to intercept this except to override Mage_Core_Model_App.
Of course there cannot be an event-dispatched-event, that would create an infinite loop, so there is no way to observe all events.
If you need to see events for development my advice would be to set a breakpoint in dispatchEvent with your debugger, that way you get to see not only the event names but also the objects passed as parameters too. I've tried other ways before but this was most convenient for me.
I need to do the same and I think it's possible to trick magento by the function getEventConfig in Mage_Core_Model_Config. You could force him to add automatically a default observer.

How to add components in to an existing GUI created by guide?

I just created a GUI using guide in MATLAB for a small project I'm working on. I have amongst other things two text fields for from and to dates. Now I'd like to get rid of them and use a Java date select tool. Of course this is not possible using guide so I need to add them manually.
I've managed to get them to show up by putting this code into my Opening_Fcn,
uicomponent(handles, 'style','com.jidesoft.combobox.DateChooserPanel','tag','til2');
using UICOMPONENT.
But even though it shows up I can't access the date select's attributes, for example
get(handles.til2)
returns
??? Reference to non-existent field 'til2'.
How can I fix this?
Unless you edit the saved GUI figure, the basic handles structure will not include your new component by default.
One way to access you component is to store the handle via guidata, by adding the following to your opening function:
handles.til2 = uicomponent(handles, 'style','com.jidesoft.combobox.DateChooserPanel','tag','til2');
guidata(hObject,handles)
Functions that need to access the handle need the line
handles = guidata(hObject)
to return the full handles structure that includes the filed til2

Vaadin custom table header

I want to build custom filtering header for Vaadin tables.
Can you please give some examples or solution to this problem.
I want to add a combo box or check box that will refine the search in the table like Excel columns.
We faced the problem of adding custom filters for Vaadin Table in our project as well.
As a solution we added a dynamic filter form above the table. It has become flexible and agile enough to apply filters.
We created Vaadin Addon in order to share our solution - Lexaden Grid.
You can find more information by the following link:
http://www.lexaden.com/main/entry/lexaden_grid
At the moment it is quite hard to add a custom component to do filtering with to the header of a table. It would require you to make your own version of Table by inheritance/copy&paste (not sure what is enough), and that is something most people wan't to avoid at the moment if anyway possible. The current implementation of the Table component is one of the most complicated components of Vaadin. It is doable if you insist putting components in header, but prepare for some serious thinking to get things to work.
I'd suggest making the filtering of data in containers with components just next/above your table. Hiding the table header is sometimes acceptable if there's no crucial information shown there. If you want something precisely on the header, it would require some empty headers and CSS positioning components on correct place.
You can always group table and other filtering components to one CustomComponent for easier abstraction.
Book of Vaadin is a very good reference for vaadin implementation. The link consist of an example code like:
// Define the properties
table.addContainerProperty("lastname", String.class, null);
table.addContainerProperty("born", Integer.class, null);
table.addContainerProperty("died", Integer.class, null);
// Set nicer header names
table.setColumnHeader("lastname", "Name");
table.setColumnHeader("born", "Born");
table.setColumnHeader("died", "Died");
Is this what you ask for? If it isn't, can you please specify your question a bit more clearly?
edit: Vaadin Sampler also contains handful code samples.
