Visual Studio Task list - tree view - visual-studio

Is it possible to view the tasks in the task list in a tree structure according to the project and maybe even classes? Only sorting by project without being able to filter by the class structure is not useful if I want to ensure that I did not forget anything in the feature I'm working on but I do not intend to see TODOs in other parts of the solution.

Right click on the contents of the Task list -> Grouping. Multiple options can be selected. The order of selection does matter.

Menu not branching out in Kentico 7

There are two different websites with drop-down menus, but only one is having the appropriate "branch-out" affect.
Picture 1 is the one not branching and picture 2 is doing what I want:
No Branch
Branch
The menu that is correct is using a tree menu widget and the other is not, only a breadcrumbs widget. As you can see I added a "Test Page" under Government, but it is simply at the bottom of the menu. If it's just a matter of inserting a Tree Menu widget to get the affect I want, I'll do that, but I wanted to see if there was another solution first. Thanks.
Looks like it could be an issue with the webpart used for the menu. So the one site showing correctly may have the levels set to the necessary depth whereas the other site may not. This doesn't seem to be the case though as the webpart is picking up the "Test Page" but not the "Tax Matters" page.
It could also be an issue with the overall design of the site's menu. Maybe the site's menu wasn't designed with 3 levels of depth on it. To check this you can go to the webparts transformation property and see if there are multiple levels setup to display that 2nd and 3rd level nested within one another.
Not knowing the configuration of your webpart or the transformation makes it a bit harder to actually troubleshoot.

How to get selected files from TOpenDialog exactly in the order they were selected in?

I use a TOpenDialog component in Delphi XE7, because I want to select one or more files. However, after I select them and click OK, the selected files are stored already sorted alphabetically, from A to Z, in the Files property, thing which I do not want. I didn't see any switches or options neither in the TOpenDialog control, nor in the TStrings type.
How can I make this component store the selected files exactly in the order that I want to?
The underlying dialog box from the operating system doesn't keep track of that information (or if it does, it doesn't expose it in any way), and the wrapper class provided by Delphi doesn't synthesize it for you.
You can handle the OnSelectionChange event to deduce the selection order. Begin by creating your own ordered list to hold the selected files. When the event is triggered, inspect the dialog's Files property. Remove any entries from your internal list that aren't present in Files. For any items in Files that you don't already have, add them to the head of your list.
The system dialogs do not keep track of the order in which the items are selected. You have no way to get the system dialog to tell you that information. If you really need that then I see two options:
Write your own dialog that does keep track of order of selection.
Let the user specify order outside the file selection dialog.

Serena Dimensions: Find list of items checked out by a specific user

Is there any way where we can see the list of items that have been checked out by a specific user.
Items checked from a project are recorded in the database as a place-holder revision with the next number in sequence. Generally they will appear in the user's pending list (inbox) and will show with state "$TO_BE_DEFINED". Arrange your desktop client views to show state, along with user names and dates (use Customise Views under Tools menu) and you can sort and filter columns to show information you need. You can even add User Filename to the views and you will see exactly where the file was checked out to.
The desktop client is very powerful but needs some customising as the out-of-box standard views are very limited.
With appropriately set privilges a user can inspect other users' inboxes. A team leader could set up some simple reports to show numbers of checked-out files against users.
There are so may ways to achive this - but I agree it is not obvious to a new user.
Menu, EDIT/FIND/ITEM
On Tab Option:
STATUS=$TO_BE_DEFINED
ORIGINATOR=?user?
Click on tab Find Now
I am still using dimension in 2019. Let me add relevant snapshots as well. I struggled with this let this answer be so no one has to struggle again.
On Web View
You can add a column Checked Out By and then use that column to arrange the files accordingly.
To add on Web View you can first go to your user preferences as shown below:
You can add the "check out" column by taking it from available columns as shown below:
You should now able to rearrange file in views by clicking on the check out column. The files will arrange first on ascending order of usernames and then by descending order.
On Desktop Client
My item list view looks something like the following which doesnt have a "Check out" column in the view.
One way to find out the files check out is using find item. You can find this in Edit -> Find -> Items. Looks something like this.
You can fill in the data as follows: Status as $TO_BE_DEFINED and User Name to the user you want to search for. .
On Clicking open you will get the results in the items(Find Results) window.
Hope the snapshots helps.

com_zoo related items depend on category

What I really want is to have in my com_zoo app items description page a custom block what is showing the related items to clicked one. So one I found out, that it can be made it manually adding to every specific item the related items. The problem is that is not generated dynamically.
My question would be:is it possible from the actual administration tasks to handle this or it has to be coded. If it has to be code, what is the shortest way to achieve results. should I build a custom element or there is another way to do it?
thanks

Binding Observable Collection to multiple wpf trees

Does anyone have suggestions on the best way to bind an observable collection to multiple wpf trees using different groupings? Both bindings are two-way, such that changes in one control should be reflected in both controls.
I was able to modify this sample ( http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mikehillberg/archive/2006/10/11/a-treeview-a-hierarchicaldatatemplate-and-a-2d-collection-walk-into-a-bar.aspx ) by adding a secondary grouping and an additional tree. Grouping by different fields worked well.
I then added a button to add an item with round-robin groupings to the collection and a little snippet to find and select the items in both trees ( social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/wpf/thread/7e368b93-f509-4cd6-88e7-561e8d3246ae ), and it all works well.
I am still curious to know alternatives.
