When to use UI Plugin or PlaceHolder - nativescript

As far as I have understood so far, one can create a custom (native) UI component by following the guide in the NativeScript UI Plugin documentation
But there is also this PlaceHolder that can be added into the XML and then instantiate a custom UI component to be displayed in it.
So what are the differences between both and when to use each of them?

It's completely your decision. In my opinion, if you are going to reuse the component and want to share with the community then make a plugin. There is no right or wrong answer to be honest :)

SAC Input Control - Custom Widget

I need to create a custom widget Input control for SAP Analytics Cloud basically the same as native but with more customization. The customization part will be pretty simple and I know how to do it, but I need some ideas on how to start implementing this custom widget. I already am working on a dropdown hierarchy custom widget with SAPUI5, don't really like this approach, but I am open to this. If anyone has any idea or experience in building this, I would much appreciate the help/input/ideas.

Vaadin - Is there a possibility of using overlays for my own forms?

I have an idea to making a form (in Vaadin 14 LTS)which would overlaid main layout for better user experience (like LoginOverlay). The thing is, vaadin-overlay is meant only for internal use and I presume I can't use that for my own form... Is there other way to make overlays?
Thanks in advance :)
You can use the Dialog to make an overlay. See https://vaadin.com/docs/latest/ds/components/dialog for code examples.

PowerPoint - how to run a macro automatically?

I'd like to run a macro that sets the zoom to 100%, something like Windows(1).View.Zoom = 100, every time ANY file is opened in PowerPoint. The files are already created, so using a template to set the zoom is not possible. How can I do this?
There isn't really a way (that I am aware of) to do this through a macro or powerpoint add-in. You might be able to do it using a custom web add-in but I don't have enough experience with that to provide an example.
After looking around there have been a few success stories. One of which is creating a custom UI element and then adding an onLoad hook to that.
Here is the thread.
Here is a link to the Custom UI Editor Tool However I had no luck in getting it to work. I believe (This is only my theory) that it is not compatible with the latest .NET framework.
If you do end up trying to do this, here is a link to the xml formatting documentation for UI elements. And a link to a little tutorial related to this.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. This should at least get you started. If anyone else has a simpler way I would love to know as well.

Is there a WYSIWYG option for IntelliJ IDEA when creating a GUI? (Like netbeans)

Been attempting to see if I can find a way to edit the gui form in the IntelliJ IDEA in a WYSIWYG format (pretty much the same as netbeans basically) is this possible?
If not, are you able to point me towards a reliable resource to learn how to learn to create an effective GUI layout (can either be book or online)
Yes there is a Form Designer in IntelliJ.
Please refer to this video
PS - go to Plugins first and ensure UI Designer is enabled.

Combination of ember.js and Jqgrid

I am trying to build a Jqgrid component using ember.js. Is there any existing solution for this, please let me know.
Thanks
As for jQuery plugins probably the easiest solution is to manually manage a view's content by using the view's didInsertElement hook: http://jsbin.com/opobeg/1/edit
The general idea is to access the view's element with this.$(), which returns a jQuery object. Don't forget to tear down event listeners etc. you attached here in the willDestroyElement hook!
Yehuda's article describes this mechanism quite well. Although the article very outdated (still referring to SproutCore 2.0), the basic idea haven't changed much since then.
We have done many cool stuff with https://github.com/Addepar/ember-table as base.
