I am trying to create app. In the form, there is only 3 button in a groupbox. I want to make the groupbox always fit in the screen. The problem is when i minimize the form, there is vertical and horizontal scroll. So i cannot see the whole groupbox border:
I want to make the groupbox to minimize without the scroll and i am able to see all the border just like when in the maximize screen as below:
I have already tried groupbox autosize to true while anchor to top, bottom, right, and left but it is still not working. Any idea how i can achieve this?
As #ib11 said you need to go to Dock and select Fill. In addition, if you want to make your group box not fill the form but grow with it, you'll probably need to change the Anchor to all sides. That's why your previous settings didn't work because anchor doesn't fill the screen, it's just a property to grow with the screen. Fill makes it possible so that you can have a group box or any other control always fill the screen.
See this image for dock:

You need to set the Dock property of the GroupBox to Fill.
Like so:

So I downloaded CircleView and tried to change the code. The program came with a button, color wheel, 2 sliders, and a view. When ever I add anything (Slider, button, textfield), on run time the things I added wouldn't show up. What am I not doing?
It's a .nib file.
This is the edit page.
This is what I see when running the program.
As you can see, the button and textfield doesn't appear during run time.
By default, when you add a button, the autoresizing mask (aka "springs and struts") are set to the following:
That means that when you resize the window, the button you added will stay in the same spot it originally was, instead of being "pulled" down with the edge of the window. This could potentially cause the buttons or textfields you added to be hidden behind the circle view once you resize the window large enough.
To prevent that from happening you'll want to change the autoresizing mask of the items to be "pinned" to the bottom edge of the window, so that they look like in the following image:
To do that, click on the red I bar at the top of the square to remove it, and then click on the lower I area to turn it on.
Note that you can also select multiple buttons or textfields at one time to change them all at the same time.
The only thing which I disklike whith highslide is the fact that when I click a thumbnail and it gets bigger I only can shrink it back when I click exactly in the image area.
Is it possible to shrink the image back when clicking outside the image area?
(and optional also shrink it back when I hover outside the image with the mouse cursor?)
Thanks
If you use a dimming background (hs.dimmingOpacity=0.7, for example), clicking outside the image area will close the expander. This requires highslide-full.js. If you don't want a dimming background, just set the opacity to a tiny value, like hs.dimmingOpacity=0.01.
It might be possible to include an onAfterExpand event to close the expander when you hover outside the image, but I think I can guarantee that you wouldn't like it. If a visitor clicked on a thumbnail, but didn't just happen to have his mouse over the image when it opened, it would immediately close again. That would be very frustrating behavior for the site visitor.
i need to put a horizontal scrollbar in a dynamically created Hbox. im writting the code like this:
hbxWallAImg = new HBox();
hbxWallAImg.horizontalScrollPolicy="on";
but still the no scrollbar is comming.
i have tried by setStyle also. but it is also not working.
The scroll bar will not be visible unless the content of the box doesn't fit in the box's view port. So just by setting the scroll policy, it won't be displayed, but rather when the element will "know" that in case its content doesn't fit, it should display scroll bars. You also need to add some children and dimensions (with, height) to the HBox.
Without dimensions, it will "stretch" as much as it needs to accommodate the content, so no scroll bars will be visible in this case also.
You can find all the info about view ports and scrolling in Flex 4 here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex4_viewport_scrolling.html
Hope this helps.
Have a good day,

I've been struggling for weeks trying to crack this nut so I'm not sure if it's impossible, or if it's my lack of coding chops... or both. I'm not a programmer and I'm a newbie to Dojo Toolkit.
I have a site using the BorderContainer layout. I'm trying to create an effect where I can use a button to open and close a dropdown type box that will contain controls. I need this dropdown to be hidden on page load, and then open when you click the button.
My problem is that when I open the dropdown, it pushes the content pane below it off the bottom of the browser window. I need the lower ContentPane to stay fit within the remaining space of the browser window when the dropdown opens. Additionally, I want the dropdown to sit outside of the scrollable container for the content below it, which is why I have it set up to sit outside a nested BorderContainer below it.
I've created a simplified version of the code to demonstrate my challenge (see link below). If you load the page you can see the center ContentPane scrolls the content. But, if you then click on the button, a dropdown div expands above the content. Then when you scroll, you'll notice that you can't see the full pane because it's in no-man's-land below the bottom of the browser window. I assume that because the div is set to display:none on load, it's size is not accounted for on page load. Then, when you open it by pressing the button, it's size is additive and the pane below doesn't know how to resize or account for the new element.
I've tried using the visibility attribute, but that leaves a gap for the div when it's still closed. I've tinkered with some code that controls the height that shows promise, but each of my dropdown boxes will be different sizes so I'd prefer that the height be set to "auto" rather than a specified pixel size.
Does anyone have any idea how I can accomplish this so that the lower pane will fit in the space without pushing off the screen?
Here's a sample of the page:
http://equium.com/scaffold.html
(I had some problems trying to insert the full HTML page here as a code sample so if that's a preferable way to handle it, and someone can let me know the best way to embed all of that code, I'd appreciate it.)
Thanks is advance, I'd really apprecaite anyone's feedback.
You might want to take a look at dojox.layout.ExpandoPane (though be warned I think it has only worked properly for top and left regions for a while).
Also, I'd suggest simplifying/altering your layout a bit. See example here:
http://jsfiddle.net/taFzv/
(It'd probably need some tweaking to get exactly what you want.)
The real issue you're having is probably that the BorderContainer has no idea that parts of the view resized. ExpandoPane takes care of that by telling the BorderContainer to re-layout after its animation completes.
It works under IE8.0. When dropdown box open, just keep pressing mouse from page and drag to bottom, you could see the content was pushed to out of page. It looks the browser could not detect it and could not add it to "scroll bar" account.
I would suggest taking out all BorderContainers except your top level one, the one with mainPage as the id.
Place your {stuff here} div into the mainPage BorderContainer, after the ContentPane with the Close/Open button. Make sure you make it dojotype dijit.layout.ContentPane, set up layoutpriority, and set region to top. Set the height to 0/x when clicking the Open/Close button, instead of setting display.
Try your page again. If that doesn't fix it, you probably need, a call to layout, resize, or both to indicate to the BorderContainer that it needs to evaluate all its children and size the "center" pane properly. Something like dijit.byId("mainPage").layout(); Do this any time someone presses the Close/Open button, after you have changed the height of any BorderContainer children.
Maybe the dijit.form.DropDownButton would fit your needs. When click the button a tooltip is displayed that can be filled with any content you want. Just as you specified, the dropdown tooltip is only displayed when you click the button, and it doesn't mess with the underlying layout at all. The tooltip sits "on top" of the page.
I am using several NSButtonCell objects in an NSTableView. They are simple square buttons with custom images on them.
These buttons draw properly when they are not highlighted: all that is visible is the image, and the rest of the button rectangle is transparent. However, when I click on them, the entire button rectangle is highlighted, inverting the background in the parts that were transparent.
I would prefer to see the image drawn inverted, and the transparent parts remain transparent. How can this be done?
Try setting your cell's highlightsBy property to NSContentsCellMask. I think you'll have to do this in code (probably in awakeFromNib); I don't see a way to do it in IB alone.
You can do it in Interface Builder too. I use "Square Button" so the button alters between two images (so the image is not inverted at all).
Your buttons behaviour is probably set to "Momentary Light" or "Momentary Push In".
Set the Behaviour to "Momentary Change", and it should work.
