visualworks - how to redraw image? - image

I have GUI with images displaying, but when I minimize or move an applciation window, the image is remvoed....how do I call it back, or how to prevent it? somehow redraw of an widget destroys it?

you could press the middle mouse-key in order to open a menu where you can click on refresh. This should refresh your window and redraw everything in there. You can use it to debug when your image is drawn and maybe find out why you don't see anything.
But in general a little more information would be neat.

Highslide: Shrink image back when clicking in outer area

The only thing which I disklike whith highslide is the fact that when I click a thumbnail and it gets bigger I only can shrink it back when I click exactly in the image area.
Is it possible to shrink the image back when clicking outside the image area?
(and optional also shrink it back when I hover outside the image with the mouse cursor?)
Thanks
If you use a dimming background (hs.dimmingOpacity=0.7, for example), clicking outside the image area will close the expander. This requires highslide-full.js. If you don't want a dimming background, just set the opacity to a tiny value, like hs.dimmingOpacity=0.01.
It might be possible to include an onAfterExpand event to close the expander when you hover outside the image, but I think I can guarantee that you wouldn't like it. If a visitor clicked on a thumbnail, but didn't just happen to have his mouse over the image when it opened, it would immediately close again. That would be very frustrating behavior for the site visitor.

Drawing on an image which is inside a QScrollArea?

If I subclass QLabel and I add a QLabel directly to my QDialog, it works fine. If I add this label inside a ScrollArea, the thing I’m drawing doesn’t show unless I resize the dialog itself. Yes, weird.
I’ve setup compilable example code that indicates what the problem is. What I am trying to do is to select an area of an image with my mouse, by drawing a rectangle on the corresponding area. The images my program is designed to work with can be very large, and thus, I need to have a scroll area so as the dialog to stay at a logical dimension, and not to fill the entire screen (or even multiple workspaces, if we are talking about a linux machine with multiple desktops).
Everything works fine, except that the drawing (selection-rectangle) isn’t visible unless the dialog is resized – manually. I think I have to update something while drawing, but I’m not sure what. Well, here’s the example code: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1151553/
Another issues that I don’t know how to solve (and I want your suggestions there) are (1) when the user is selecting an area, how to set it to automatically scroll when the user actually selects an area by pushing against to a wall of the scroll area (I guess I am understandable here). (2) is there a way to let the user select a rectangle and then, when he left-clicks on a position with holding down the [Shift] button, the bottom right edge of his previous selection to actually go through the point he clicks at?
The documentation indicates that you have to set a Layout somehow somewhere, but I'm not sure how to do this to my occassion.
Thanks in advance for any help.
about problem (1):
just use of Event. i think mouse Enter Event or Leave Event is good for that.
and to do that i think you can use a hidden rectangular that fill the whole of the screen.
and over write the mouse leave Event for that rectangular and tell in that function , to scroll the page.

I can't disable scrolling (NOTHING WORKS, TRIED LOTS)

Here is a facetious cat site..
http://jsfiddle.net/Spunkgraffiti/ruxLs/embedded/result/
Go ahead and click on some blank space, stay clicked (mousedown), and drag your mouse down to the bottom of the window, it scroll's down! Every time!
The issue is that no matter what I do I can't disable scrolling when you click and drag to the bottom of the screen..
I have disabled the scroll wheels, tried to disable highlighting (cause I thought perhaps it was not "scrolling" per se but actually highlighting more and more content moving the page down), and tried a css disable of scrolling. Nothing works..
Overflow hidden doesn't help here either :/
How do I stop the scroll caused by clicking and dragging your mouse down to the bottom of the window (already fully expanded window).
I'm trying to write up a drag and drop bar at the bottom of the screen, but every time I drag a picture and try to drop it, the whole page moves.. I just want the whole page not to move when I begin to drag a picture..
Thank you everyone who takes the time to read this!
$(function() {
$(document).scroll(function() {
$(document).scrollTop(0);
});
});

It is rock solid (doesn't scroll at all) on recent (as of this post's date) versions of Firefox, Chrome and WebKit in Qt. Internet Explorer scrolls a bit then bounces back. If it's for an embedded application using one of the first three, then this isn't a problem.

dojo Show/Hide One ContentPane While Another ContentPane Is Liquid

I've been struggling for weeks trying to crack this nut so I'm not sure if it's impossible, or if it's my lack of coding chops... or both. I'm not a programmer and I'm a newbie to Dojo Toolkit.
I have a site using the BorderContainer layout. I'm trying to create an effect where I can use a button to open and close a dropdown type box that will contain controls. I need this dropdown to be hidden on page load, and then open when you click the button.
My problem is that when I open the dropdown, it pushes the content pane below it off the bottom of the browser window. I need the lower ContentPane to stay fit within the remaining space of the browser window when the dropdown opens. Additionally, I want the dropdown to sit outside of the scrollable container for the content below it, which is why I have it set up to sit outside a nested BorderContainer below it.
I've created a simplified version of the code to demonstrate my challenge (see link below). If you load the page you can see the center ContentPane scrolls the content. But, if you then click on the button, a dropdown div expands above the content. Then when you scroll, you'll notice that you can't see the full pane because it's in no-man's-land below the bottom of the browser window. I assume that because the div is set to display:none on load, it's size is not accounted for on page load. Then, when you open it by pressing the button, it's size is additive and the pane below doesn't know how to resize or account for the new element.
I've tried using the visibility attribute, but that leaves a gap for the div when it's still closed. I've tinkered with some code that controls the height that shows promise, but each of my dropdown boxes will be different sizes so I'd prefer that the height be set to "auto" rather than a specified pixel size.
Does anyone have any idea how I can accomplish this so that the lower pane will fit in the space without pushing off the screen?
Here's a sample of the page:
http://equium.com/scaffold.html
(I had some problems trying to insert the full HTML page here as a code sample so if that's a preferable way to handle it, and someone can let me know the best way to embed all of that code, I'd appreciate it.)
Thanks is advance, I'd really apprecaite anyone's feedback.
You might want to take a look at dojox.layout.ExpandoPane (though be warned I think it has only worked properly for top and left regions for a while).
Also, I'd suggest simplifying/altering your layout a bit. See example here:
http://jsfiddle.net/taFzv/
(It'd probably need some tweaking to get exactly what you want.)
The real issue you're having is probably that the BorderContainer has no idea that parts of the view resized. ExpandoPane takes care of that by telling the BorderContainer to re-layout after its animation completes.
It works under IE8.0. When dropdown box open, just keep pressing mouse from page and drag to bottom, you could see the content was pushed to out of page. It looks the browser could not detect it and could not add it to "scroll bar" account.
I would suggest taking out all BorderContainers except your top level one, the one with mainPage as the id.
Place your {stuff here} div into the mainPage BorderContainer, after the ContentPane with the Close/Open button. Make sure you make it dojotype dijit.layout.ContentPane, set up layoutpriority, and set region to top. Set the height to 0/x when clicking the Open/Close button, instead of setting display.
Try your page again. If that doesn't fix it, you probably need, a call to layout, resize, or both to indicate to the BorderContainer that it needs to evaluate all its children and size the "center" pane properly. Something like dijit.byId("mainPage").layout(); Do this any time someone presses the Close/Open button, after you have changed the height of any BorderContainer children.
Maybe the dijit.form.DropDownButton would fit your needs. When click the button a tooltip is displayed that can be filled with any content you want. Just as you specified, the dropdown tooltip is only displayed when you click the button, and it doesn't mess with the underlying layout at all. The tooltip sits "on top" of the page.

Dynamically removing and attaching the border on a nswindow

How do I go about adding/removing the window border after it has been created? the window was already designed in interface builder and I would prefer to avoid writing the window purely in code as I am still a long ways before i can say i am experienced with objective-c/cocoa.
Example Program:
a single window with the border initially, a button on it. If you click the button once it makes the boarder disappear and if you click it again then the boarder reappears.
Thanks
As far as I can tell, you can't. You might be able to fake it by taking the content view out of one window and making it be the content view of another window.
