Difference between Legacy Mode and TurboForm mode Dynamic crm online 2016 - dynamics-crm

It's there a documentation to get the difference between Legacy mode vs "normal mode" load with turbo form in Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online 2016.
We actually have some probleme with that and i need to find a source about that.
example.
With IE when legacy are activate, form load are very slow, if not, the process flow are "flicker" with optionset control in the process flow bar
With Crhome, if the Legacy mode is activated, i need to press tab one time to change the focus on each control, when is activated i need to press tab two time.
I could probably write some code to "patch" those comportement, but it's there another way ?

this flickering problem is due to the fact that there is no height specified for the div of the main container of the business process flow. When the optionSet opens, it overlaps the main container height size. The solution for this problem is to set the height of the main business process flow div (div with id "processStepsContainer"). I suggest you create a Web Resources that is a Style Sheet(CSS) and that sets this:
#processStepsContainer{
height: 200px;
}
Then you just need to use a link on this style. You can do it using a javascript on the load of a form that calls the FixFlicker function:
FixFlicker = function(){
var head = window.parent.window.document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var link = window.parent.window.document.createElement('link');
link.rel = 'stylesheet';
link.type = 'text/css';
link.href = '/WebResources/theNameOfMyStyleSheet';
link.media = 'all';
head.appendChild(link);
}
This should solve your problem

The primary word for the new turbo mode is "async". There is a lot more stuff that is loaded asynchronously. Here is a good website that details some of the other differences:

GTK Window Cover Entire Screen

I'm working on a small educational piece of work, I create a window and its supposed to cover the entire monitor. However "special" areas are not being covered as seen in the screnshot at bottom. My window is a solid red with no menu bar scroll bar etc, is there anyway to make this cover the top menu bar and the dock. In my screenshot I am testing on Ubuntu and Mint, this is consistent behavior on Gtk OS's I need to be ablve ot set my window so it covers all things is this possible?
I tried gdk_window_fullscreen but it's not doing anything, not even fullscreen, do you think its because I'm running this function from another thread? How would I know if this function needs to be run from the main thread?
Incomplete coverage on Ubuntu:
Incomplete coverage on Mint:
Code Tried
A frameless window is opened using Firefox code from main thread:
var aEditorDOMWindow = Services.ww.openWindow(null, core.addon.path.content + 'panel.xul', '_blank', 'chrome,width=1,height=1,screenX=0,screenY=0', null);
Now after load of it completes then the GdkWindow* of this window is obtained on the main thread and passed to another thread as a string
The thread now takes the string to GdkWindow* then that to GtkWindow*
var gdkWinPtr = ostypes.TYPE.GdkWindow.ptr(ctypes.UInt64(aHwndStr));
var gtkWinPtr = ostypes.HELPER.gdkWinPtrToGtkWinPtr(gdkWinPtr);
The thread then executes gtk_window_set_keep_above because if there was another app was focused it will focus this guy, and it will keep him on top of existing full screen windows
var rez_topIt = ostypes.API('gtk_window_set_keep_above')(gtkWinPtr, true);
The thread used to then run gtk_window_present but I removed it as I noticed it would crash the app, this was the code:
var rez_focus = ostypes.API('gtk_window_present')(gtkWinPtr);
EXPERIMENTAL STUFF I tried but it didnt work to make the window cover the special UI:
ostypes.API('gdk_window_set_type_hint')(gdkWinPtr, ostypes.CONST.WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_SPLASHSCREEN);
ostypes.API('gtk_window_set_position')(gtkWinPtr, ostypes.CONST.GTK_WIN_POS_NONE);
var geom = ostypes.TYPE.GdkGeometry();
geom.max_width = aOptions.fullWidth;
geom.max_height = aOptions.fullHeight;
var rez_geo = ostypes.API('gtk_window_set_geometry_hints')(gtkWinPtr, null, geom.address(), ostypes.CONST.GDK_HINT_MAX_SIZE);
Now the thread work is done and it goes to main thread. Now the main thread uses firefox javascript to move the window to top left most origin (which i calculated earlier with Gdk calls) and also sets the width and height of this window to that calculated of all the monitors (i did this earlier with other gdk calls)
aEditorDOMWindow.moveTo(collCanMonInfos[0].xTopLeft, collCanMonInfos[0].yTopLeft);
aEditorDOMWindow.resizeTo(collCanMonInfos[0].nWidth, collCanMonInfos[0].nHeight);
This results in the window SOMETIMES covering all monitors, other times just the one it opened on. And it never covers special UI like the taskbar/dock/menubars.
If you can please advise on how to acheive a window that fully covers everything that would be very appreciated, I'm trying to teach some people some stuff and I ran into a mess.
Here is a youtube video of the addon I am making: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJM5NQK67N4
I discontinued using gdk_fullscreen because when it worked intermittently it would not allow the window to expand outside the one monitor.
Panels are usually implemented with struts, and window managers can decide never to allow windows to cover them; that's one of the reasons why the whole idea of "full screen window" was introduced: it gives the window manager a hint that the window that requested to be full screen should cover all other windows; have no decorations; and also cover all eventual "system" components, like panels.

Change the colour of WinJS.UI.BackButton (Win 8.1 back button)

I'm getting started with Windows 8 App development using WinJS. I'm using the Light UI theme but I have set up a darker area on the left of the page (where the black back button is) and the issue is: you can't see the button.
I've trawled through the MSDN pages and the most I could find is how to style a button which doesn't actually explain how to change the colour of an actual asset.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj835822.aspx
I've also tried adding: win-ui-light and win-ui-dark classes to the button with no success.
I wondered if someone could point me in the right direction?
Many thanks for your time
Chris
First of all you have to delete the link tag that contain UI css by default and add it to document head , Dynamically.see below code :
var uistyle;
// call when your app load or resume.
function onappopen(){
uistyle = document.createElement('link');
uistyle.href = "//Microsoft.WinJS.2.0/css/ui-dark.css";
uistyle.rel = "stylesheet";
uistyle.id = "UIstyle";
document.head.appendChild(uistyle);}
// call when you want to change UI Style.
function UIstyle(UIbool){
if(UIbool=='light'){ uistyle.href = "//Microsoft.WinJS.2.0/css/ui-light.css";}
else {uistyle.href = "//Microsoft.WinJS.2.0/css/ui-dark.css";}}
Like: UIstyle('light'); for light UI in Windows 8 or "UIstyle()" for dark;
I used the DOM Explorer to find the buttons default values and overwrite them. It was the child element that needed to be overwritten: .win-back

Automatically re-sizing the JavaFX 2 HTMLEditor control

I'm trying to make an editable control using the HTMLEditor ( I'd like a rich-text pane like Swing's JEditorPane or JTextPane but it seems I need to wait a couple of years for that ). I want to have the user type in text and the control grows to suit. I have tried catching an event when the scroll-bar appears and increasing the size until it disappears but I can't work out how to wait until the JavaFX thread has actually re-sized the control on its parent.
There's probably a better way to do it than that... any ideas? Any ideas how to reduce it if text is removed?
TIA Mike Watts
For the edit control, use a WebView with contenteditable set to true like this example or a customized HTMLEditor.
Interact with it using the Java/JavaScript bridge similar to this editor. You can script the WebView using JQuery. Run a Timeline which polls the edit control's text dimensions using a JQuery dimension query script and adjust the control size appropriately.
[side note: I've added this as an answer even though it is just the details from jewelsea's - I couldn't format the code when replying as a comment].
This is what has worked to a certain extent:
in the html of the WebView component, added a tag <div id='measured'> around all of the text blocks
added a handler to the WebView using setOnKeyPressed and that calls checkHeight()
private int lastOffsetHeight;
private void checkHeight() {
int newHeight = (Integer)webview.getEngine().executeScript(
"document.getElementById(\"measured\").offsetHeight;") + 14;
if (newHeight != lastOffsetHeight) {
lastOffsetHeight = newHeight;
webview.setPrefHeight(newHeight);
}
}
This is not too bad, main problem is that if all of the text is deleted then the WebView component deletes the div. As jewelsea mentioned, JQuery might be a better solution but I'll update this if I ever fix the problem of including the library ;-)

Firefox extension: How can I set the cursor position?

I have a page with possibly several content-editable iframes (editors).
Now I would like to use my custom Firefox extension to do the following:
Setting the cursor to the end (or last HTML element) of the editor the cursor actually is in.
I found many solutions to get the cursor's position, but I need one to set it.
Any suggestions?
XPCOM likely includes such functionality as part of the testing rig. Mochitest at least is capable of this (again, probably though XPCOM).
On the other hand, when a user is on the system this a generally a gross violation of user interaction practices. Be sure you have a good justification for doing it. It may seem convenient but what if they're doing something else whilst using your addon? I usually have various apps open at once, Fx extensions are only part of that. I don't want it taking control of my mouse, EVER.
Is there something wrong with setting the focus? At least that only forces the user's hand at a window level.
It also suspect it make it quite difficult to get past AMO review. You'd have to justify why it was necessary to invoke such low-level functionality. If you interact with a window, for example, the window might be able to affect the input of your functions which in turn control the mouse... and then a random web site has access to the user's window!
Found the solution to my problem myself. This code myself will set the Cursor position to the last Paragraph of my editor:
var frame = window.content.document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[2];
var win = frame.contentWindow;
var editingSession = Components.classes["#mozilla.org/editor/editingsession;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIEditingSession);
var editor = editingSession.getEditorForWindow(win);
selection = window.getSelection();
var body = frame.contentDocument.body;
text = frame.contentDocument.createTextNode(".");
body.lastChild.appendChild(text); // add textnode to be selected
var range = editor.document.createRange();
range.setStartBefore(text);
range.setEndAfter(text);
editor.selection.removeAllRanges();
editor.selection.addRange(range);
body.lastChild.removeChild(text); // remove Child

Textbox anchored to a form on all 4 sides not displayed properly

I'm running into a problem trying to anchor a textbox to a form on all 4 sides. I added a textbox to a form and set the Multiline property to True and the Anchor property to Left, Right, Up, and Down so that the textbox will expand and shrink with the form at run time. I also have a few other controls above and below the textbox.
The anchoring works correctly in Visual Studio 2005 (i.e. I can resize the form and have the controls expand and shrink as expected), but when I run the project, the bottom of the textbox is extended to the bottom of the form, behind the other controls that would normally appear beneath it. This problem occurs when the form loads, before any resizing is attempted. The anchoring of the textbox is correct for the top, left, and right sides; only the bottom is malfunctioning.
Has anybody heard of this and if so, were you able to find a solution?
Thanks!
UPDATE:
Here is some of the designer code as per Greg D's request (I am only including the stuff that had to do with the textbox itself, not the other controls):
Friend WithEvents txtRecommendationText1 As System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> _
Private Sub InitializeComponent()
Me.txtRecommendationText1 = New System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
' ...snip...
'txtRecommendationText1
Me.txtRecommendationText1.Anchor = CType((((System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Top Or System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Bottom) _
Or System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Left) _
Or System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Right), System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles)
Me.txtRecommendationText1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(4, 127)
Me.txtRecommendationText1.Multiline = True
Me.txtRecommendationText1.Name = "txtRecommendationText1"
Me.txtRecommendationText1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(223, 149)
Me.txtRecommendationText1.TabIndex = 10
End Sub
ANOTHER UPDATE:
The textbox I originally posted about was not inherited from a baseclass form (although it was added to a custom User Control class; I probably should have mentioned that earlier), but I recently ran into the same problem on a totally unrelated set of controls that were inherited from a baseclass form. It's easy to blame these problems on possible bugs in the .NET framework, but it's really starting to look that way to me.
Is your Form localized? Check the resource files for an entry with Textbox.Size, delete is and reset the size.
Is your Form inherited and is the Textbox on the baseform? Try setting the Textbox's access modifier to Protected or Public.
Have you implemented custom resize logic? Turn it off and see if the problem is still there.
Have you entered a Textbox.MinimumSize/MaximumSize? Remove or change the value.
It might also be a combination of these things...
Does the form snap back to the expected layout when you resize it after it's been initialized weirdly? Also, have you set a Height or MinimumHeight/MaximumHeight property for the text box?
If possible, a few snippets from the designer code might be useful. :)
One possibility that I've run into in the past is DPI. If you're running/testing your code on a machine with a different DPI setting than the machine that you're developing on, you may observe some strange things.
The anchor functionality essentially establishes a fixed distance between the edge of a control and the edge of the control's parent. Is your textbox embedded within another control (e.g., a panel) that doesn't have its anchors properly set? Right clicking on the text box in the designer should pop up a menu that lets you select any controls that exist underneath it, also.
Does your program include any custom resize logic, or does it modify the size of the textbox programmatically outside of designer-generated code? That might also result in weird behavior. I've assumed maintenance for a number of pieces of software at my organization where the original developers spent a great deal of time implementing (buggy) resize logic that I had to tear out so that I could just let the designer-generated code do the work for me.
The textbox I originally posted about was not inherited from a baseclass form (although it was added to a custom User Control class; I probably should have mentioned that earlier), but I recently ran into the same problem on a totally unrelated set of controls that were inherited from a baseclass form. It's easy to blame these problems on possible bugs in the .NET framework, but it's really starting to look that way to me.
It's very likely because of the 'AutoScaleMode' property being set in InitializeComponent(). Try setting it to 'None' and see if that fixes it. I've had these problem a couple of times now.
