How can I create new values on about:config of firefox and read them by programming language such as JavaScript?
var myBranchOfPrefs = Services.prefs.getBranch('extensions.myaddon.');
myBranchOfPrefs.setIntPref('somenumber', 456);
have to use setBoolPref or setStringPref depending on what you want value to be
this is very basic, usually you wont use it like this, youll set up a preference listener, so whenever its modified you update your addon with that value

Is it possible to set the dropdown display style in apps script?
After checking the documentation it looks like the API only allows you to choose between "Arrow" and "Plain Text".
The Apps Script documentation explains how to create data validation rules with a DataValidationBuilder. Most of the methods just set different DataValidationCriteria. Among those, the methods requireValueInList() and requireValueInRange() are the only ones that have a showDropdown parameter to set a dropdown, and the parameter's values can only be true or false. The default is true, which is equivalent to "Arrow" and false is equivalent to "Plain Text". As a boolean there's no third option for "Chip". Example:
// Set the data validation for cell A1 to require "Yes" or "No", with a dropdown menu.
var cell = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getRange('A1');
var rule = SpreadsheetApp.newDataValidation().requireValueInList(['Yes', 'No'], true).build();
cell.setDataValidation(rule);
Looking at the Sheets REST API, which Apps Script is built on, the DataValidationRule works in a similar way, but this uses showCustomUi instead of showDropDown. Still, the limitation is the same to show only the basic arrow and plain text.
It just seems like a feature that hasn't been implemented yet. Maybe the "Chip" was added a while after the basic dropdown. You can try to request it in Google's issue tracker.
I am creating a MFC application based on example: https://github.com/microsoft/VCSamples/tree/master/VC2010Samples/MFC/Visual%20C%2B%2B%202008%20Feature%20Pack/WordPad
now i want to change the way to expand font name drop list in toolbar from DOWN key to F4. It seems i need to get the combobox and call SetExtenedUI(FALSE) on it, but i dont know where to do it.
To change the extended UI flag on a CComboBox, you call its CComboBox::SetExtendedUI member. When you have a CMFCToolBarFontComboBox you need to get to its combo box first. Since it inherits from CMFCToolBarComboBoxButton you can use its CMFCToolBarComboBoxButton::GetComboBox member to get a CComboBox*.
CMFCToolBarFontComboBox* pFontButton = ...;
CComboBox* pComboBox = pFontButton->GetComboBox();
pComboBox->SetExtendedUI(FALSE);
finally i switched to CComboBoxEx which works fine
I need to change the option names in the "Format" menu in CKEditor. For instance, I want to change "Normal" to "Paragraph".
I understand that one way to do it is to edit the language file (en.js). But I don't want to mess up the original sourcecode because it will make the upgrade to a future version much harder.
I tried to change the value CKEDITOR.lang.en.tag_p at runtime before initializing the editor:
CKEDITOR.lang.en.tag_p = "Paragraph";
CKEDITOR.replace(...);
It didn't work because the language file is not loaded at this point (lang.en is undefined).
I also tried to use event handlers (instanceLoaded and loaded) - no success.
Changing the language values on instanceLoaded seems to be too late. It still shows the default values in the menu.
And loaded event never fires for some reason.
I found a solution that involves overriding CKEDITOR.plugins.load, but I think it's too much for such a simple task.
Is there a simple and elegant way to do that?
I found the following solution: load the English language file before creating editor instance, and update it using callback once it is loaded.
CKEDITOR.lang.load("en", "en", function() {
CKEDITOR.lang.en.format.tag_p = "Paragraph";
CKEDITOR.lang.en.format.tag_h2 = "Header";
CKEDITOR.lang.en.format.tag_h3 = "Sub-Header";
});
// Init editor here
I personally don't like it, but it's the best I could do.
I am using DevExpress controls in a winform app I am building for internal use. My app has about 30 forms in total and I am trying to figure out a way to allow my user's to select a theme. I have seen this mentioned here at SO multiple times in answers to other posts.
I understand how the StyleController works, I believe, but what I am wondering is how I can use 1 Style controller for the whole app.
Right now I am trying to create 1 StlyeController at the Shell form and then pass a reference to it to each child form. From there I then have to programatically set the StyleController property for each control. I don't mind I just wonder, especially from those who have done this, if there is a simpler way?
It is very simple. This example is assuming that you are using skins.
In the constructor of your main form calls:
DevExpress.Skins.SkinManager.EnableFormSkins();
This will enable your form to use the current skin. It is also important that each of your forms derived from XtraForm.
After that you need to setup the global look and feel object for your application:
//This set the style to use skin technology
DevExpress.LookAndFeel.UserLookAndFeel.Default.Style = DevExpress.LookAndFeel.LookAndFeelStyle.Skin;
//Here we specify the skin to use by its name
DevExpress.LookAndFeel.UserLookAndFeel.Default.SetSkinStyle("Black");
If you want to set the look and feel of your application like Office 2003, the setup is different. You just have to call the following function:
DevExpress.LookAndFeel.UserLookAndFeel.Default.SetOffice2003Style();
So, every control of devexpress will use these settings to paint themselves. It is possible to specify a custom LookAndFeel object for some controls but I never used it because I dont see the point to have a custom display for a control or a form.
Exception:
There is one exception in Devexpress framework. The NavBarControl does not use the skin technology automatically from your global LookAndFeel object, you need to specify a setting to enable that:
//To use the current skin
youNavBarControl.PaintStyleName = "SkinNavigationPane";
//To use the current look and feel without the skin
youNavBarControl.PaintStyleName = "NavigationPane";
With version 11.2 I used the information in this article:
http://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/p/K18013.aspx
In summary :
* Inherit all your forms from XtraForm
* Leave look and feel settings default so that they use the default skin
* Modify the default skin with the following line of code:
DevExpress.LookAndFeel.UserLookAndFeel.Default.SkinName = "DevExpress Dark Style";
I would like to know how to implement a dialog that show up when you first start Firefox to ask the user to enter some input. This input will be stored somewhere temporarily, and should be used later on by the plugin when required.
I have full understand of how to implement firefox plugin (this includes understanding of XUL and Javascript), so no need for full plugin example. The specific question is how to show a dialog when firefox start that ask for input, and how to store the input in a temporary storage.
Any help would be appreciated.
Add an event listener to your overlay.xul:
<window>
<script type="text/javascript">
var your_func = function (e) {
var pref = window.prompt ("Your name:","");
}
window.addEventListener ("load", your_func, false);
</script>
</window>
The your_func() will be called, whenever a new window (not a new tab) is loaded. If it should only be on start-up, you'll have to make an additional test. You find details here: developer.mozilla.org
For persistence you could store the found value as a preference: Preference Code Snippets. It would be useful then, to check in your_func, if such a preference exists, before opening the prompt.
Instead of a plain prompt, you could do the following:
window.open ("chrome://my-plugin/content/prompt.xul", "MyWindow", "chrome,modal,alwaysRaised,centerscreen");
The magic lies in the "modal" value in the third parameter.
Cheers,
