I have tested both Google Docs and Microsoft Office live and seen that is possible with both tools to do two way copy and paste with Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V with Excel document running in my windows based machine.
This is also a requirement for our new web application we are defining the architecture right now.
We plan to use ASP.NET MVC 3 and I am not sure if there is any grid out there able to handle this feature. The interesting thing is that neither Google docs or Office live requires any plugin to be installed on the client and does not display any security warning so it looks like Javascript is actually able to access to the windows clipboard ( set / get ).
To find a nice MVC editable grid is also a big challenge, something I could move around with the arrow keys and simply edit any cell...
Has anybody sorted out anything similar before? Thanks!
We used ExtJS on one of our MVC applications to do this kind of thing. They have some pretty powerful and flexible grids that sound like the kind of thing you're looking for.

I have a task pane add-in for PowerPoint in mind that can help users with tasks on the active presentation. With Microsoft Office becoming more and more popular on platforms besides Windows using the JavaScript API would make a great portable implementation. There are a number of COM add-ins doing things like these via the PowerPoint object model:
Get the color of a selected shape and apply to another
Change position of shapes to align
them
Copy one or more shapes from a slide in a presentation to
another
Upload a selected image to a web service
Insert a slide
downloaded from a web service
After going through the JavaScript API documentation it seems like these things are impossible at the moment. getFileAsync sounds remotely promising but does not help in the end. getSelectedDataAsync only returns text or titles and IDs for slides. So this isn't a solution either.
Is it correct that for the tasks above I am currently out of luck with the available JavaScript API for PowerPoint? I.e. I will need to wait for a more comprehensive API to become available (like the APIs for Word and Excel)? Anyone knows if Microsoft has something in the works here?
Right now the Office extensibility team has been investing heavily in Excel and Word JavaScript APIs, the PPT API will also be available in the near future, but I cannot disclose any specific date. Stay tuned!!!
A client is reporting a problem using our Web-Based application. It seems that their users are opening Multiple tabs while using the site. It leads to a problem where they lose track of what tab they are on and sometimes enter invalid data or view data in the wrong context believing that they are on a different tab.
Though I have proposed different solutions for them they only want to consider one solution: disabling tabbed browsing when their users are on our site, and enabling it again when they are not.
Is such a thing possible? All the users are using Windows (XP, I believe, although possibly W7) and Internet Explorer 7+.
I wasn't sure if there is a Windows Scripting solution that can accomplish this, or maybe an ActiveX control that has this capability.
EDIT: 2012/08/13 One feature I am now considering is a custom Internet Explorer application. Something similar to what the poster is talking about here:
http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/ie8-virtual-layer-custom-ie-settings
and here

This is new ground to me so if someone with experience here has any ideas I would love to hear it.
No, you cannot do this. IE will only allow the user to make choices around how tabs work, not the website. It does not have a feature for controlling this on a per-site basis.
If modifying the application to behave differently when it detects this happening is off the table, your client (the people) can just disable tabbed browsing completely using administrative tools.
Are there any UI Toolkits/Frameworks that can be used for a web application like Bootstrap, from Twitter(http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/)?
I am currently upgrading an old ASP line of business application and I would like to use a common framework to handle grids, alert messages, forms, etc. I am very familiar with jQuery UI, but it is not as complete as I would like it to be. My main concern is I just want a consistent UI for the application that other developers can use that are not too design-savy.
Also, I would like the application to behave consistently throughout the application.
I don't need a framework for the server-side as I am using ASP.NET MVC. By the way, I am using both jQuery and jQuery UI, but I am looking for something that can fill in the missing blanks.
We have tried so many different options, the most robust and flexible solution remains jQuery and jQuery UI. There are tons of people writing widgets for it, and it is compatible with a lot of technology unlike some other frameworks which limit you, precisely because it is simple and light weight.
What exactly is your reservation with jQuery?
The options we have tried are Google Web Toolkit, Ext-JS and Prototype, none as nice and easy as jQuery.
We are using Telerik Extensions for MVC for all the interactions that we have in our web applications and we are very pleased with it. We use their stylesheets to style our form inputs and buttons. The stylesheet are easily editable if you want to change the theme.
btw, it use jQuery underneath.
Okay firstly I'm a newbie to mobile development, so I start out building an application, implement usercontrols for tabbed navigation and have requirement of passing data between these usercontrols and that had me in kind of a fix. So am currently looking for session or viewstate equivalent objects to store data and pass it between these usercontrols. If it helps, both usercontrols are loaded in the same form and are implementing search and display functionality each. Development environment is for windows mobile 6.
Okay , so i solved it. Did not find equivalent objects but did find a simpler solution which involved creating my 2 pages as forms and passing data as properties in these 2 forms. Hope this helps someone
I want to make an app that shows pictures. But I want to be able to zoom in and out with gestures. I fixed this by including a toolkit into my project. But my actual question is, can I use or is there a control that's already created for me to show pictures like the picture library of the WP7 phone itself. I thought there wasn't but the Facebook app has a similar way of showing the pictures. Did Facebook rewrite the whole thing or is there a control somewhere that someone made?
The SlideView control in Telerik's RadControls for Windows Phone sounds like what you're looking for.
Have you tried a MultiScaleImage control? It's designed to work with multiple layers, but if you only specify one layer, it might suit what you're trying to do.
