javafx rotating circle while loading - image

I have a method which loads some data and this can take a while, the problem is that you can still click on things and this might crash the program. So I am looking for a specific implementation of a loading-circle when you click on a button and the method starts.

What I would recommend is setting the cursor to "Cursor.Wait" on the objects that are still loading
Here is the code for that:
node.setCursor(Cursor.WAIT);
If it still gives you trouble you can try temporarily disabling the nodes.
Here is the code for that:
node.setDisable(true);

Stop ExtJS grid from scrolling on refresh

I have a grid in ExtJS 6.0.2 that can be set to auto-refresh (it reloads once every ~10 seconds), but when it does, I want it to stay where it is instead of scrolling to the top each time. We have successfully used preserveScrollOnRefresh to do this with other grids, but for one particular grid, it's not working. In order to try to get it working, I decided to try calling getScrollY() before reloading the store and setScrollY() after, but that didn't work either. When I stepped through with the debugger, for some reason, getScrollY() returned 0 even when I had the grid scrolled all the way to the bottom.
Is there anything else that I can try?
it sounds like this is working for other grids in your app, so without seeing any code I'd suggest that something with that store/grid ecosystem is not configured the same as other grids in your app.
perhaps post a fiddle (fiddle.sencha.com) with an example, that may also help you find your answer if the fiddle works.

Codename One - Improve Layout Animation Usage

Following the instructions in this documentation about Animations and Transitions, it is noted that animation done on the Form level requires taking the contentpane as the actual Container. So instead of
form.animateLayout(1000);
one has to do
form.getContentPane().animateLayout(1000);
While the documentation points out this exception, wouldnt it be easier and more user-friendly to update the animateLayout() function to check whether the intended Component to do the animation for is a Form itself and if so, automatically getting its content pane?
This would remove this exception handling from the user side and make it more intuitive.
Yes that makes sense. There are a lot of methods that constantly get added/changed and we still didn't add everything that needs adding. In this commit I added a few: https://github.com/codenameone/CodenameOne/commit/4b848039ec6619bf3d6dae3cfe6b8b8d9a7ff115

SlickGrid vertical scroll bar not displaying properly unless the filter is displayed/hidden to re-size the viewport

I'm just starting to use SlickGrid but I've had a lot of success creating a remote model that can interact with the paging plugin. The only problem I have seems to be a browser issue, but I'm curious if anyone knows a trick that may resolve the issue.
I'm retrieving the data page by page in my model via AJAX and updating the grid with the grid.setData() and grid.render() methods.
The problem I would like to solve is that when the length of data changes the vertical scroll bar gets really confused, unless I change the current visibility of the filter panel (grid.hideTopPanel() or grid.showTopPanel()). By confused I mean that the scroll handle in the scroll bar doesn't change size to indicate the different number of rows that are now current, and if the list grows, the scroll handle size jumps all over the place as I scroll up and down.
I'm assuming the "fix" works because it forces the browser to recalculate the view port height, but is there any way to force that to happen? Or is there a better way to do what I'm trying to do?
Ok mleibman straightened me out, what I actually was looking for was grid.updateRowCount(). I believe he will be adding a call to this in grid.setData(), but for now just make sure the 2 method calls are used together.
Have you tried grid.invalidate() ? Im my experience that forces the grid to recalculate pretty much everything. It may be more heavy-handed than you need but at least you can see if a complete invalidate solves the problem.
I figured it out. You need to call grid.resizeCanvas() after calling grid.setData(). It seems like this should be part of the grid.setData() method because a call to it will change the number of rows. But anyway, that's what you need to do.

pivot with in Panorma ....swipe both together

when i use pivot with in the panorama .pivot are used as a gallery view. i want to move pivot when i swipe it .but the problem is this because of both panorama and pivot are the same gesture event so both are they move .
i want swipe only my pivot view .
I would like some sample code or any other suggestion to do this.
so please give me a solution for doing this and
also give me a link where i easily understand this. Thanx in advance
You shouldn't have a Pivot in a Panorama control. End of discussion.
I believe it is achievable, because I've already solved similar issues with having WebBrowser control inside a custom horizontal-scrollable overview container like Pivot/Panorama, but believe me, it is NOT worth it. I've had to dig very deep into the visualstructure of the controls and attach my own manipulation-handlers to their viscera, manually choose which horiz/verti events to pass and which to cancel, and so on. This is not so easy, takes a lot of time, and doesn't guarantee that on the end you will have something behaving in a way you wanted to achieve in the first place. If you are not bound by some contract to preserve the shape of the UI, please, drop the idea and redesign your UI, just to save on your sanity and nerves.
But, if you are already insane or really want to dig where noone should, start on analysing your UI as a two rectangles: large pano and small pivo, and think which part should behave how on different possible touches/h-v swipes/h-v pans/pinches/so on. Write it down just to for reference, or soon you will probably start making small mistakes that will interfere with your understaning of the flow of the events.
I've checked the version I have, and "my" Panorama uses internally the UIElement.ManipulationXXXX events. In that case:
Display visualtrees of your UI and try attaching manipulation-events to every control. In those events, write/log which control's which handler was invoked. Then make some swipe/scroll on your APP and observe events. Analyze how they were bubbling and try cancelling (e.Handled=true) the manipulation-completed and/or manipulation-delta events somewhere between pivot and panorama. Your goal is to have the panorama see that e.Handled=true, while your pivot must see e.Handled=false. Your Pivot will probably see the event sooner than the Pano, so that point should be relatively easy.
If it fails to work, then you should check your version of the Pano, and check how it detects movements. If, for example, it uses the GestureListener - try the same trick with it. Etc.
And remember, you can always make your own horizontal-overwiew-container that will look like Pano, behave like Pano, and that will work with Pivo better - because it will be your code and you will tell it what and when to move. if you want to go this way, start on google and check all the preliminary Panorama previews that random people have published before that control was published by MS.

Changing UI in reaction to Storyboard.Completed event. Do we need BeginInvoke?

I have a ContentPresenter that switches between 2 states ("editor" and "viewer"). The states have different heights and different values of Content and ContentTemplate properties.
In one state change I resize the control by playing a Storyboard and in reaction to Storyboard.Completed event I change Content/Template properties.
It works basically ok, except I observed occasional flickering. When playing in debugger I observed that modifying above properties in Completed handler may cause strange screen effects (portions of the screen empty, extra shading, lines etc.) that the user observes as flickering.
However, whenever I postponed the ContentPresenter changes by using Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(), the problems seem to disappear. (More testing needed.)
Anyone has an explanation? On the web you'll find numerous code examples that perform UI changes in Storyboard.Completed handler, hence I find it a bit strange.
I suspect it may be more due to timing than needing to be on the UI thread. Try doing a Sleep for a second or so before changing the Content/Template properties instead of using Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(). If the flicker is gone then perhaps trying to change those properties while the Content was busy resizing itself during the storyboard was the culprit - perhaps assigning a fixed size or otherwise disabling the constant resizing during the storyboard would help. That's just a guess though, I'd have to see a sample to really figure it out. If you can make a small sample to reproduce it I'd gladly look at it.
