When I paste URLs pointing to my ticketing system into other systems, I want them to look nice without a lot of manual reformatting. I have a userscript that works in GitHub taking <rootURL>/ticket/1234 and pasting it in GitHub as [#1234](<rootURL>/ticket/1234) which GitHub renders nicely.
I want to do the same thing for Teams. The Teams app for Windows has some programmability but I can't find what I need there so I've resorted to using Teams on the web and writing another userscript. (By all means, I'm happy to hear, "The way to do that in Teams is ...." but this is the best I've come up with so far.)
Whereas GitHub messages are composed in a textarea, Teams has a div that it updates as you type. I have a paste handler that creates what seem to be the right DOM elements but when my function is done, I see the original, unformatted URL in the Teams message.
My userscript is below. The logging tells me its doing the right thing but my new DOM elements don't show up in the UI. Any thoughts?

Is "cancel" a keyword or reserved word?
My simple dialog box:
var dlg = new Window("dialog");
dlg.text = "Proceed?";
dlg.preferredSize.width = 160;
// GROUP1
// ======
var group1 = dlg.add("group", undefined, {name: "group1"});
group1.preferredSize.width = 160;
// add buttons
var button1 = group1.add ("button", undefined);
button1.text = "OK";
var button2 = group1.add ("button", undefined);
button2.text = "Cancel";
var myReturn = dlg.show();
if (myReturn == 1)
{
// code here
}
Works fine. All is well. However replace the string "Cancel" with "Can" and the button no longer functions.
You need to add extra code in order to regain functionality.
button2.onClick = function()
{
// alert("Byas!");
dlg.close();
dialogResponse = "cancel";
}
So, what's going on, is "cancel" a keyword?
"Cancel" is not a reserved word. If you change it to can, the dialog will return "can" if clicked (and not "cancel"). Maybe you need to update your code somewhere else to reflect it.
It works with your extra code because you're forcing the return of "cancel".
We are building a bot where ActionType.Postback is not working.
There are places in the Bot where it does work however the example attached does not.
The sample was build using Bot framework 4.1.5.
Any help appreciated.
if (turnContext.Activity.Type == ActivityTypes.Message)
{
if (turnContext.Activity.Text == "help")
{
var reply = turnContext.Activity.CreateReply();
reply.Text = $"Hello {turnContext.Activity.From.Name}! How can i help you today? ";
var welcomeCard = new HeroCard
{
Buttons = new List<CardAction>
{
new CardAction {Title = "option1", Value = "option1", Type = ActionTypes.PostBack},
new CardAction {Title = "option2", Value = "option2", Type = ActionTypes.PostBack},
new CardAction {Title = "option3", Value = "option3", Type = ActionTypes.PostBack}
}
}.ToAttachment();
reply.Attachments.Add(welcomeCard);
await turnContext.SendActivityAsync(reply, cancellationToken);
}

This appears to just be an error in the Bot Framework Emulator and should work fine if you publish your bot to another channel. I've gone ahead and submitted this as a bug to the development team. https://github.com/Microsoft/BotFramework-Emulator/issues/1140
Note that the PostBack Action only works in certain channels and will default to ImShow if it is not supported. In the channels where PostBack is not supported, the response text value will be visible to all participants in the conversation.
I want to create an adaptive card with buttons for email and call functionality. I cannot find a format for call and email in adaptive cards. Is there a way to combine adaptive cards with hero cards, since hero cards have the cardAction object functionality ?
Adaptive Cards have action elements and selectactions that can be set. You would create a card with your input requirements and then use a submit action to process the input. Note on the text input elements, the format has been set to either email or tel

Is there a way to combine adaptive cards with hero cards, since hero cards have the cardAction object functionality ?
No, but Buttons within AdaptiveCard are not created using CardAction objects, you can use schema that is defined in AdaptiveCard instead.
There're three kinds of actions OpenUrl, Submit and ShowCard. Here Submit is what we need.
If you want to create AdaptiveCard in C#, you can for example create it and send the message like this:
AdaptiveCard card = new AdaptiveCard()
{
Body = new List<CardElement>()
{
new Container()
{
Speak = "<s>Hello!</s><s>Send Email!</s>",
Items = new List<CardElement>()
{
new TextBlock()
{
Text = "Hello!",
Weight = TextWeight.Bolder,
IsSubtle = true
},
new TextBlock()
{
Text = "Send Email!",
Wrap = true
},
new TextInput()
{
Id = "EmailAddTo",
Placeholder = "To:"
},
new TextInput()
{
Id = "EmailAddFrom",
Placeholder = "From:"
},
new TextInput()
{
Id = "Subject",
Placeholder = "Subject:"
},
new TextInput()
{
Id = "Content",
Placeholder = "Content:",
IsMultiline = true,
}
}
}
},
Actions = new List<ActionBase>()
{
new SubmitAction()
{
Title = "Send Email",
DataJson = "{\"Type\": \"EmailSend\"}"
}
}
};
Attachment attachment = new Attachment()
{
ContentType = AdaptiveCard.ContentType,
Content = card
};
var reply = context.MakeMessage();
reply.Attachments.Add(attachment);
await context.PostAsync(reply,CancellationToken.None);
When using Submit action, the Bot Framework will handle the submission and your bot will receive a new IMessageActivity with its Value, you can then handle it in your code for example like this:
private async Task MessageReceivedAsync(IDialogContext context, IAwaitable<IMessageActivity> result)
{
var message = await result;
if (message.Value != null)
{
// Got an Action Submit
dynamic value = message.Value;
string submitType = value.Type.ToString();
switch (submitType)
{
case "EmailSend":
/* */
return;
}
}
}
For more information, you can refer to the official Adaptive Cards Bot Sample.
I'm trying to create a string that have classic work & linked word.
I have this sentence :
I accept the terms of use and the privacy policy
In this sentence I want to have the words in bold clickable.
I already tried with an Horizontal StackLayout, Labels and Buttons but the result do not be like a simple sentence...
Any idea ?
Use a TapGestureRecognizer on a label:
var terms = new Label() { Text = "terms of use" };
var termsTapped = new TapGestureRecognizer();
termsTapped.Tapped += (o,e) =>
{
//do something
};
terms.GestureRecognizers.Add(termsTapped);
var stack = new StackLayout()
{
Orientation = StackOrientation.Horizontal
};
stack.Children.Add(new Label() { Text = "I accept the " });
stack.Children.Add(terms);
... and the same with your privacy policy.
EDIT:
If you want use this functionallity in a single lable, you could implement your own Span which is clickable and work with FormattedString.
