I have a VB6 control (VSFlexGrid) that I would like to get the name of. I have a class and id to reference it by and I am able to focus it but I don't know how I am suppose to retrieve the name of the control. How would I do this in Autoit?
in form design mode the grid is given a name in the property window.
you can reference it by the Name given in code.
so select the grid in the form design view and press F4 - the (name) property will be something like VSFlexGrid1 or maybe myGrid or some such..
In code you can refer to it as VSFlexGrid1.Position or VSFlexGrid1.Rows or whatever of it's properties you need to work with.
You can do more exotic things like looping through the form controls collection and detecting if it is a VSFlexGrid type, but that may be more than you are looking for.

In KendoUI, how do I select a treeview element if it does not have an ID? Like by the style class or something.
I am writing an MVVM application and there are 2 tabs in a kendo tab strip with each containing a treeview. On selecting one tab, I want it's checkboxes to be updated based on what checkboxes were checked in the other tab and then I want to also call updateIndeterminate() on the treeview it contains within it.
Now, since I am using MVVM, I don't want to access the treeview by it's id. All I can find online on searching is $("#treeView") and in the Telerik forums, the example to call updateIndeterminate() is also this -
var treeview = $("#treeview").data("kendoTreeView");
treeview.updateIndeterminate();
Am I missing something here? I wonder why it's so hard to find.
I suppose the reason why it's hard to find is that it goes against the idea of declarative initialization and the separation of view and model. Your code is not supposed to interact with the widget itself. Instead, all your logic should be wired up in your view model which is bound to the UI.
You can certainly find it without an id, e.g. with something like this:
var treeView = $("ul[data-role=treeview]").first().getKendoTreeView();
or by using the .k-treeview class, but I wouldn't recommend it. If you really need to access it in code, you should give it an id.
As declared in the title, for example, I want to search for a button whose name is button8, within a form where there are so many buttons that I do not want to check the name one by one.
Can I do this in VB6?
You should just be able to refer to the control via the controls collection, like so:
Me.Controls("Button8")
See this link.
Here's how to find a control in the form designer, if you know the name.
Go to the form designer, open the property window (press F4), and use the dropdown to choose the control. This shows the properties in the window (and you can edit them). It also selects the control onscreen.
I guess that I am really missing something on the datasource in a custom control. When I create the custom control I have no idea what the name of the datasource on the XPage is going to be. I have added a custom property to the custom control to pass using the Type com.ibm.xsp.domino.model.DominoDocumentData and the Method Binding Editor, and this sort of seems to work if the Custom Control does not contain Custom Controls. At which point either I am getting lost or the XPage/Custom Control binding is getting lost.
Here is what I am trying to do I have created a Tab Table using the Extension Library and have placedd it on a cc. I have set up several tabs on it. Because the amount of information on each tab is pretty extensive I thought I would create a custom control for each tab. Then I ask the Yes/No question on almost every line I created a ccYN custom control, plus a couple of other ones as well because they can be reused and simple bound to a different fieldName that I have set up in the cc Properties. I see where others have said that if the datasource is defined for the XPage that it is available to all of the cc's, the method above seems to work for the first level but deeper than that leaves me or the XPage really confused. I have searched the internet/read Mastering Xpages but am not much further ahead.
It has been a long drawn out process but I think I have it now. On the Custom Control create a Property definition with a type of com.ibm.xsp.model.ModelDataSource with an edit type of String and call it something say ccDataSource. Then bind the the ccDataSource to the datasource of the XPage that contains it when it is know using SSJS so say it is myDataSource.
If the Custome Control is contained in a custome control and the datasource needs to be passed through another level the the binding is compositeData.ccDatasource or ?? whatever the outer datasource Property definition for the Data Source is.
There might be a cleaner way of doing this but I have not found it.
Not sure if you're still looking for an answer, but you can use the data source of "currentDocument" in a custom control. This assumes that the custom control is in a panel with one document data source, or in an XPage with one document data source.
I created a custom control that is binded to a a Domino Document data source. I embedded it in a page so that I can display it in a Dojo dialog. It has 2 properties: dialogId and docId. The document data source's Document ID property is set to compositeData.docId. In the page, I set the docId property to a viewScope variable, that will be set when an entry in a view is clicked. What I want to accomplish is that the dialog will display the document that the current view entry (that was clicked) represents. But it seems that the compositeData.docId is not set on partial or even full refresh. Is there a way to do this that the custom control will be binded to the document? I need to have this binding so that I can easily do a server-side validation when I submit the dialog. Or if there is another way, can you also put it here? Thanks a lot!
set the datasource as the document, and then edit mode, then you have a place to compute the doc id, i usually compute the doc id to a viewScope, that i set when i click the item in the repeat control
More details here.
I would prefer the DocId to be transfered via the custom control parameters rather than a Scope variable. Using the Scope breaks the custom control design principle of being self contained. You can use the yourCC.PropertyMap to actually update a value, so the hand over of the parameter will work - of course your control then needs to be refreshed so the data source is recomputed. Hope that helps.
This is my first time building a UI in Access (using Access 2007), and I'm wondering what is the Right Way (TM) of going about this.
Essentially, I have several different queries that I'd like to display as pivot charts, pivot tables, tables, and reports. Eventually I'm also going to have to build forms to manipulate the data as well, but the application's primary function is to display data.
I'm thinking of having a button for each different display down the left side of the main window, and having the rest of the window display each button's corresponding contents (e.g. a pivot chart).
I have an idea that this can be accomplished using a single subform in the main form, and setting the subform's Source Object property within a function such as this one:
Public Function SetSubformSourceObject(newSourceObject) As Variant
subform.SourceObject = newSourceObject
End Function
Then, for each button I'd set its OnClick property to call this function with the name of the query I'd like to run.
Now, I have no idea if this is the best way of going about things, and would really appreciate some input :)
The principle seems fair to me. You have to give it a try. You do not even need a form-subform structure. You can set your sourceObject at the form level, and have your buttons in a commandBar instead of having them as controls on the form, so you do not have any 'form specific' code (like "onCLick") and controls. action/command controls on a form are space, code and maintenance consuming, while commandbars are more generic and are THE object that can hold all your action controls.
