LiveCycle drop-down list change event only works on second change - drop-down-menu

I want a Text Field to appear when a certain item is chosen from a drop-down list. I'm using a change event.
if(this.rawValue == 1){
Tolerance.presence = "visible";
}
else{
Tolerance.presence = "hidden";
}
The problem is that the Text Field presence does not change immediately when a selection is made, but only after I go back to the list box and select again (any value, not just the same one).

The new value of the dropdown only registers after the change event. This means this.rawValue points to the old value of the dropdown in a change event.
Either move your script dropdown exit event or make use of the event.newText in the if conditional in the change event.

E4 RCP How to set selection of ToolBarItem that contains Radio Buttons

In Eclipse E4 (Luna), using the application model to create parts, handlers, commands, handled menu items etc, (these are not created programatically). I have a toolbar. This contains a sub-Menu item called "Filter" that contains another sub-menu of two filters. The two filters are two Handled Menu Items which are set up as "Radio" Buttons.
When I select the appropriate in the UI of my running app from the selection, the Radio button switches just fine to the selected Item. However I would like this selection to update (deselecting one Radio button and selecting the appropriate radio button of the handled menu item) when my ViewPart changes through other UI selection. Currently my ViewPart updates, but the Radio buttons are on the same previous selection through the UI.
Is there a way in which I get access both Handled Menu Item's IDs and set the selection (one to false, the other to true) when the viewer is updated.
Image of design is attached below:
Hierarchy of the application model is as follows:
Thanks in advance,

You can use the model service to find menu items. Use something like:
#Inject
EModelService modelService;
#Inject
MApplication app;
List<MMenuItem> items = modelService.findElements(app, "menu item id", MMenuItem.class, Collections.emptyList(), EModelService.IN_MAIN_MENU);
Once you have the MMenuItem you can call the setSelected(boolean) method to change the selection.
To find a menu item which is in a Part menu use:
modelService.findElements(app, "menu item id", MMenuItem.class, Collections.emptyList(), EModelService.IN_PART);
(IN_PART argument instead of IN_MAIN_MENU).
You could also specify the MPart rather than the Application as the first argument to findElements which may speed up the search.
For menus as a child of a Tool Bar Item it appears that the model services cannot find these directly. However you can find the Tool Bar Item and look at the menu yourself:
List<MToolItem> items = modelService.findElements(app, "tool bar item id", MToolItem.class, Collections.emptyList(), EModelService.IN_PART);
MToolItem item = items.get(0);
MMenu menu = item.getMenu();
List<MMenuElement> children = menu.getChildren();
... search menu elements
I solved this by starting with MPart PartID and drilling down to the HandledMenuItems on which I wanted to set the Radio Button selections, then setting the selection property for each individual HandledMenuItem.
This can probably be refactored to be more concise, but I've left the code with each step to have the solution easier to read.
BTW, in every instance / combination of the EModelService methods, the list returned a size of 0. So I'm not certain if that will work for what I'm trying to achieve. The following does work, although I'm not certain it is the most efficient means.
I hope this helps others.
// Get view part
MPart viewPart = _partService.findPart("part_id");
// get list of all menu items from the Part
List<MMenu> viewPartMenu = viewPart.getMenus();
// Get list of ViewMenus from viewPartMenu there is only one View Menu so it will be index 0
MMenu viewMenu = viewPartMenu .get(0);
// Get list of MMenuElements from the viewMenu - the children in the view menu
List<MMenuElement> viewMenuElements = viewMenu.getChildren();
// This gets me to the 2 HandledMenuItems
// Upper Most HandledMenuItem Radio Button is at viewMenuElements index 0. This is cast to MHandledMenuItem
MHandledMenuItem upperHandledMenuItem = (MHandledMenuItem) viewMenuElements.get(0);
// Set Selection
upperHandledMenuItem.setSelected(false);
// Lower Most HandledMenuItem Radio Button is at viewMenuElements index 1. This is cast to MHandledMenuItem
MHandledMenuItem lowerHandledMenuItem = (MHandledMenuItem) viewMenuElements.get(1);
// Set selection
lowerHandledMenuItem.setSelected(true);

Kendo UI Grid Edit popup's change update method return values

the normal way in kendo ui grid update data is add a edit popup.
What I want is, Think I change a value in text field.In update I added switch case and change the submit value. Then It will add that value and return that values to the grid. But I want to do is when get the return value and change it and show a different value in the grid.
Here is a example.....
In edit popup it has a input text field. I submit a value as "A". In the update I add a switch tells that If the value is "A" change the submit value to 1(number one).
Then it submit the value and show the value in grid as "1" not as the "A".
How I do this ???
I think you want a custom handler. In the grid you toss in this:
edit: function(e) {onEdit(e)},
and then on top of the page you do whatever logic you want to do
function onEdit(e) {
if (true) {
$("#Whatever").text('Hello') //Whatever in this case is a field in grid

Hiding columns of handsontable from javascript

Is there any way i can hide HOT columns from javascript?
The requirement is such that the column to hide will come as a parameter in javascript and based on that the respective column will show hide accordingly.
The HOT has rowHeaders and colHeaders and the data with 20 columns.
Please advise.
OUTDATED SOLUTION
Ok I founnd a possible solution. I tested it out on my own system but it's actually quite simple.
You should be using a customRenderer in your columns option. Read up about this if you aren't already. The idea is that you're giving each cell its own renderer. In this custom function, you can do something like this:
var colsToHide = [3,4,6]; // hide the fourth, fifth, and seventh columns
function getCustomRenderer() {
return function(instance, td, row, col, prop, value, cellProperties) {
if (colsToHide.indexOf(col) > -1) {
td.hidden = true;
} else {
td.hidden = false;
}
}
}
What this renderer does is hide the cells that the var colsToHide specify. All you do now is add a DOM element that lets the user pick which and so every time the table gets rendered (which happens basically after any change, or manually triggered need be), the cells in the columns specified will be hidden, keeping the data array intact like you described. And when not in colsToHide they are re-rendered so make sure you get that working as well.
Here I implemented it with very basic functionality. Just enter the index of a column into the input fields and watch the magic happen.

Better Solution: handsontable: hide some columns without changing data array/object

Delete Record VB2010 w/ TableAdapter

This shouldn't be this hard... But it's late.
I am working on a simple form, and trying to delete a record from a connected DataSource while using a TableAdapter. Here is the SQL for the TableAdapter;
DELETE FROM Main WHERE (ID = ?) AND (tbl_Job_Name = ?)
Main is the table name, only two fields.
I am populating a ComboBox with this data, and I am using a Button to call the Delete() action like this;
Private Sub btnDeleteJob_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDeleteJob.Click
Dim deleteJobAdapter As New DCGDataSetTableAdapters.MainTableAdapter
deleteJobAdapter.DeleteQuery(ComboBox2.SelectedIndex, ComboBox2.SelectedText)
End Sub
When I break the code I can see the ID value, but the SelectedText field is blank, and of course when it runs through the record is not deleted. I would ideally like to just pass the ID of the selected record in the ComboBox to delete the record. What am I missing?
Try,
deleteJobAdapter.DeleteQuery(ComboBox2.SelectedIndex, ComboBox2.Text)
SelectedText property:
Gets or sets the text that is selected in the editable portion of a ComboBox.
Text property:
Gets or sets the text associated with this control.
You can use the SelectedText property to retrieve or change the currently selected text in a ComboBox control. However, you should be aware that the selection can change automatically because of user interaction. For example, if you retrieve the SelectedText value in a button Click event handler, the value will be an empty string. This is because the selection is automatically cleared when the input focus moves from the combo box to the button.
When the combo box loses focus, the selection point moves to the beginning of the text and any selected text becomes unselected. In this case, getting the SelectedText property retrieves an empty string, and setting the SelectedText property adds the specified value to the beginning of the text.
When I enter the code;
deleteJobAdapter.DeleteQuery(ComboBox2.SelectedIndex, ComboBox2.Text)
My break point shows the correct text from the record, but I did notice that the ID value is incorrect, the SelectedIndex returns a sequential number of the record itself, starting with "0". So it looks like SelectedIndex does not return the actual ID value...
And back to the original issue, the record selected is still not deleted.
This is what I ended up using;
Dim delJobID = ComboBox2.SelectedValue
Dim delJobRowAdpt As New DCGDataSetTableAdapters.MainTableAdapter
Dim delJobRow As DCGDataSet.MainRow
Dim intDelete As Integer
delJobRow = DCGDataSet.Main.FindByID(delJobID)
delJobRow.Delete()

Why delete does not work on CKEDITOR when selected?

I'm having a inline editable div. I can type, delete, add. Works great. I wanted the text within he div to be selected on focus (or if you click it). So I added the following to the code
var editor = CKEDITOR.instances.div#{attr};
var element = editor.document.getById('div#{attr}');
editor.getSelection().selectElement( element );
This works too. Fully selected on focus. However, if I press the delete key or any other character key to overwrite the programmatically selected text, it doesn't change. It's as if more than only the text is selected, and the browser doesn't let me delete it. If I select the text manually, it works.
The selection#selectElement method will start selection before passed element and end after it. This means that not only editable's content will be selected but also non-editable parts of contents outside it and therefore selection may not be editable.
This is a correct solution:
var editor = CKEDITOR.instances.editable,
el = CKEDITOR.document.getById( 'editable' ),
range = editor.createRange();
editor.focus();
range.selectNodeContents( el );
range.select();
But the easiest solution is to use selectAll command defined in selectall plugin:
editor.execCommand( 'selectAll' );
