CarouselView.FormsPlugin get index of specific page - xamarin

I'm using Carousel View by alexrainman for creating custom wizard.
I need to get index of specific page by its type (I don't know exactly which index would that page have).
Something like this:
var indexAdvanced = MyCarouselView.GetIndex<ContentView>(typeof(AdditionalDefectParametersContentView));
but of course, this code doesn't work. While creating this question, I've got an idea with using CarouselView's ItemsSource. How to do it properly? TIA.

By the way, I've already found an answer. >_<
The resulting code is:
// My CarouselView consists of ContentViews
_indexAdvanced = MyCarouselView.ItemsSource.Cast<ContentView>().
IndexOf(view => view is AdditionalDefectParametersContentView);
So it works!
Don't know what should I do: delete this question or leave? Maybe It would be useful for somebody, so I'll leave it for now.

adding row manualy into DataGrid using VB6

i want to display the data into DataGrid manually in VB6, source of data is not from database or other source. I have created the column, like this:
For i = 2 To 4
DataGrid1.Columns.Add i
Next i
DataGrid1.Columns(0).Caption = "No"
DataGrid1.Columns(1).Caption = "Subdataset"
DataGrid1.Columns(2).Caption = "Dimension"
DataGrid1.Columns(3).Caption = "Check"
DataGrid1.Columns(3).Caption = "Detail"
but i can't add row and add value into it, i have tried like this:
Me.DataGrid1.AllowUserToAddRows = True
DataGrid1.Row = DataGrid1.Row + 1
then i got error
Please tell me if anybody can help me, thank you
Not only is DataGrid designed to be a bound control, it doesn't support unbound use. Says so right in the doc. So, the short answer is that you can't do what you are trying to do, because it's designed to display values from a database.
Instead, you'll want to use the MSFlexGrid control (Not the MSHFlexGrid control, although some of the doc confuses them), which you can read about here. Suppose you play around with that (the AddItem method is the fundamental piece you need to work with) and post back with specifics if you have problems.
Once you have added the table (DataGrid) right click select edit then you can insert columns:

Vote for comments in posts function with Codeigniter and routing

I am trying to create posts with comments with CodeIgniter and I am trying to add voting for the comments with + and -.
But my problem is not actually this functionallity but more exactly creating the link and the method in controller/model for this.
I understand that there is some kind of link to methods.
If I have something like this:
public function like() {
echo 'Test Function';
}
and when I create link like this one sitename.com/posts/first-post/like theoritecally I will see blank page with "Test Function" text (and of course if I write proper routing rule but I cannor for now).
I can see a blank page with this working echo 'Test Function', but does this mean I have to load every methods and views for the entire page if I want to display the entire webpage with all the elements? I think that I mistake something very serious here but I don't know what.
The example with the "Create news" tutorial in ellislab.com didnt help me. They show something similar I think with /create/ section in the URL and create() methods.
If I have many links with functionallities do I have to add new routing rules for all of them? I really tried to search in Google and everywhere but I didnt find anything related.
Sorry for this lame question.
You need to use Ajax call and on callback you have to increase or decrease the count. For creating a link , once page is loading render the data and provided the default link like
for + http://<site.com>/<controller>/like?totalLike=<36>
for - http://<site.com>/<controller>/unlike?totalunLike=<3>
Once user will click + link then by using Ajax, call the controller method link/unlike and increase or decrease the count and repopulate the link again with fresh counter.
Hope it will resolve your problem.

Rendering collection view in CompositeView triggered constructor?

I have a composite view which has a task, and it's comments. I put it onto a contentRegion to display. When rendering model alone, it works fine. However when come to collection, it behaves really strange. console.log shows initialize function has been triggered twice. The first time is when define the view
taskView = new MyProject.Views.Task
model : task
collection : comments
I then do a MyProject.contentRegion.show(taskView) in order to render the model view. After that, I just call comments.fetch() to get all the comments. Then comes the problem, it re-initialized my taskView and the template keep complaining xxx is undefined.
Any thoughts? I know it's weird because another CompositeView in my project works great.
NathanInMac, I've done a little testing from your suggestion of using an itemView and found some interesting stuff.
Was your problem involving nested compositeviews'? As mine was but I'm unsure if that affects anything.
What solved the problem was initially trying a collectionView which couldn't find the itemView so I moved the definition of the itemView for the collectionView/compositeView to before the definition of the collectionView(or extended).
This seems to be a working fix and just a misleading bug with compositeView's double initializing instead of displaying some exception or error.

What ComponentQuery should I use for this example in this.control()?

I have:
1.) What should I type in this.control() for getting the reference to the grid panel?
My plan is, when user double clicks one row, new tab is created. I already have code for creating new tabs but I just need to get reference to the grid panel.
Something like this:
'viewport > westpanel > accordion > gridpanel': {
doubleclick: function...
}
2.) Let's say that I gave an ID to the grid panel. How can I get reference in this.control using .get method?
3.) How can I be sure that I've got the right reference? Can I console.log() - it or something like that?
I would know how to do this without MVC but here I need help. :)
Thank you! :)
It is quite easy once you understand how to use it. First you should read the API about the ComponentQuery cause that is what is used within the control.
this depends on your components. You so can go by the xtype 'panel > grid': {itemdblclick:this.yourCallback}
the recommend way if you can't define a really unique path by xtypes '#myID': {itemdblclick:this.yourCallback} using defined refs within the control is not possible in the currently release, as far as I know.
Use Id's instead of just xtypes '#myID > grid': {itemdblclick:this.yourCallback} or define additional params '#myID > grid[customProp=identString]': {itemdblclick:this.yourCallback}

Dynamic layouts in CakePHP

Sorry about the question title, but I couldn't find a more appropriate way to phrase this.
I am currently building a CakePHP powered website and I'm not quite sure how to approach the following issue. The website looks something like the follwing mockup:
.
The greyed out areas are part of the layout, because their content does not change between views. In the sidebar, I have a collection of ads who are linked to several models. I need controller logic to determine the picture associated with an ad. Also, the ad list needs to be dynamic. Where should I put the logic for building the sidebar?
I've thought about:
putting the logic into the AppController (beforeFilter / afterFilter) - the problem is I can't use the controller logic I need (the other controllers inherit from AppController, I'm not sure how to use them there).
making a component - is it okay to build components that rely on controllers?
replicating the sidebar code in all controllers that render views - this seems kind of stupid to me.
What is the Cake way for this?
Update
After some reading and experimenting, I've gotten to refactoring most of it.
I obtained the best performance by moving the logic for building my ads in the model (eliminating the component that retrieved the pictures) and not using requestAction. It's almost three times faster and the code looks much better.
I've done something similar for data-driven navigation. I put my logic in AppController::beforeRender and haven't had any problems. I'm not sure I understand your concern related to controller inheritance. I retrieve my menus via:
$menus = $this->NavMenuItem->groupByMenu();
$this->set( compact( 'menus' ) );
I then created an element that renders the menu. It's executed by the layout via:
<?php echo $this->element( 'navigation', array( 'id' => 'secondary', 'menu' => $menus['SECONDARY'] ) ) ?>
If that doesn't help, maybe you can further explain your issue with controller inheritance in a comment.
I guess the answer is requestAction in case the results are cachable:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/434/requestAction
It can be done in this way:
Create an element that will help in layout of the Ad Block
Create one or more controller that will generate the data required for rendering of the block
Use requestAction for getting the data out of the models and into the element.
Check the cake book, there is an example of an element where data from Post Model is used to display top/latest 5 posts. Your requirement, I feel, is very similar to it.
Alex,
you're getting a SQL error because the build() function has to be in the Sidebar model, not controller. Also, you don't necessarily need to use $user = array('Sidebar'); you could calling Sidebar in all of your models with this:
$Sidebar = ClassRegistry::init('Sidebar'); and then $Sidebar->find();, $Sidebar->build(); etc.
Or, if you only need to call the build() function from the Sidebar model, you could do this:
$sidebar = ClassRegistry::init('Sidebar')->build();
$this->set('sidebar', $sidebar);
Cheers.
