Is there any pop up dialog for select data for a text box in Orbeon Form builder. Which will allow user to search item and select for a text box on Form runner.
There is no control that uses a pop-up dialog for the search. However:
In some cases the autocomplete can be used for that purpose, if the amount of information the autocomplete shows is enough to allow users to make a choice. Once an item has been selected, you can show more information related to the selection that was made in other controls.
Once RFE #3803 is implemented, which is planned for 2018.2, you'll be able to use any field (or a combination thereof) for the search, and a repeated grid to show results.
Finally, you could implement your own component that uses a pop-up, and plug into Form Builder. But of course, depending on the situation, it is possible that this could call for a larger investment in time than acceptable.

In Vaadin 8's grid you would see the Save/Cancel button when doubleclicking on a row in GridPro. In Vaadin 14 Grid Pro doesn't seem to have that save save/cancel button by default. Is there a way to enable it?
It seems like it should be possible because we have getEditor().addSaveListener() etc.
As an extra question whenever I do any action in the grid it seems to only call the addCancelListener(). Is there a reason for this? The primary question of course is if it's possible to show the save/cancel buttons in GridPro
GridPro adds another editing functionality to the Grid, which is not using grid.getEditor() at all. So these are not to be mixed.
GridPro is designed for cell-based spreadsheet like editing with improved keyboard navigation, thus save/cancel buttons are not there. Editable columns are added using grid.addEditColumn(..) method and using either built in fields like below, or custom type. In both cases saving of the value is handled in the call back provided.
grid.addEditColumn(Person::getEmail)
.text((item, newValue) ->
item.setEmail(newValue))
.setHeader("Email (editable)");
So save / cancel events from grid's editor are not emitted. Also this functionality does not use Binder by default. You need wire Binder yourself if you need it, see example in Vaadin's cookbook.
Basic Grid has builtin row based editor, which uses also Binder. With that one you can use it Binder and editor in buffered mode, and for example add an additional component column to where you have edit / cancel buttons, what ever you like. There is rather good code example at Vaadin's component pages.
In summary there are two different editing facilities provided and these are not to be mixed.
The datepicker is managed by knockout-jqueryui in a Durandal view presented as a modal dialog. The calendar pops up when the corresponding INPUT is focussed, and hides when it is blurred. Data-binding works fine.
But when the user selects a value, the calendar closes, the INPUT updates and the calendar re-displays. It works, but it's annoying my users because they are mouse obsessed and the calendar obscures the control below, making it hard to click on it. Yes, I know they could press tab. I have pointed this out.
How can I stop the re-display? Ideally, triggers for display would be focus and keydown. I have no problem with configuring it to manual control and switching with data-bind="change: showCalendar, ..." or similar, if that's how one does this.
So, what's the usual way to go about this? If it's manual control as I describe above, what are some keywords to expedite finding the relevant section(s) in the documentation? (How to set it to manual and how to hide/show it manually.)
(I found show() and hide())
The showOn option for jQuery UI Datepicker is passed through by knockout-jqueryui.
It defines only two values, 'focus' and 'button'.
There is no explicitly defined mechanism to disable auto-display, but I found that a value other than the defined values has the desired effect. I am passing 'click'.
Manual control methods are show and hide.

I have 9 check-box on a selection dialog ,on which i need to allow maximum selection of any three check-boxes.
We can show a message box displaying that only three can be selected or disable next button .
Trying to do permutation and combination will be a filthy task,is there any way where i can set a counter which increments on selection of check-boxes.
The easiest way is to create a very simple custom action in C# that checks the value of each property attached with your checkboxes. You need to call this DLL using a published event, from each checkbox, so when a user tries to select it, first the custom action checks to see if other checkboxes are not selected. If there are already 3 checkboxes selected then you need to delete the property of the new checkbox, like this:
session["CHECKBOX_PROP_1"] = "[~]";
Of course you can also use a C++ custom action if you prefer this language.
I have a website where I want users to be able to select what type of user they are during the registration process.
Specifically, the implementation I want is to have two buttons on the signup page, one called "Seller" and one called "Buyer".
The user should be able to select only one button and once clicked, it should stay highlighted (I know this is just jquery so not the issue).
The selection should be stored in a column in my users model called :type.
It seems pretty straightforward, but the "f.select" form method seems to only implement a dropdown menu, so I am wondering how I can achieve this implementation of two buttons.
Since you're already going to use jQuery, you could add a hidden field for type, create 2 links and style them as buttons, and use jQuery to update the value of type when a user clicks one of the "buttons".
The summary page shows default summary information in the table, with the creation and last-modify metadata field. How can I customize this table with some field from the content of the document?
You can do this directly from Form Builder: for the control or controls you want to show in the summary page, click on the cogwheel to the right of the control, and in the dialog check the box "Show in Summary".
I have never used Orbeon Forms, however I would recommend the documentation as a good starting point.
