In TFS web interface, is it possible to force a Work Item Form layout to fill 100% height? For example:
Would it be possible in the WIT definition to make it so the tab fills the full height of the form when the form is expanded? There's an option for width to be 100%, but not sure if possible for height.
You need to use "Minimumsize" like following:
<Control FieldName="System.Description" Type="HtmlFieldControl" LabelPosition="Top" Dock="Fill" MinimumSize="(0,465)" />
And you could also use TFS Power Tools to edit the work item
definitions as you can preview the changes with it.
More details and screenshot please refer Eddie's answer here, the value of height as below should be 465.
Besides, there is a Maximize button in the right top corner
After click it, the tab will expand and fills both 100 height and width.

I am trying to find a solution to increase the width of the LOV screen that is opened when we click on the LOV in an OAF page. Is it possbile by OAF personalization ? Or what is the corret way to increase this LOV screen width ?
RIght now since the screen width is very small, the columns values are shown up in multiple lines and so we have to scroll too much to see all the records.
Regards,
Abha
I believe the LOV screen width is dictated by UIX (Cabo) and can't be changed via personalization.
I would take a look at the cabo JSP that is used in the popup (a.jsp or fred.jsp I think) and see if there's a hardcoded width in that. You may be able to override that.
Of course, even if you can, that would be a customization that would need to be reapplied after UIX updates.
I'm using Xamarin Studio for iOS development and I've just started to use the Xcode Interface Builder and it is giving me headaches. My Xcode version is 5.1.1(5B1008) and I'm on Xamarin Studio 5.5 build 227 with Xamarin.iOS 8.2.0.193 on Starter Edition.
I'm not able to understand how to use the Auto-Layout functionality and I've read tutorials, most say the say, drag element into view, click on Pin icon, set constraints and be done with it.
But the elements I add don't end up looking as I want them to be.
For example let's say I want to create a view with a scroll view in it and that will display labels and text fields in it as if it were a form, by dragging-dropping element imagine I end up with something like this:
The layout I desire is for every label and text field to be 11 dps apart from the left and right, no matter the orientation, also each needs to be 11 dps apart from each other, with the initial label to be 50 dps apart from the top of the scroll view.
Every element should be the same height (20 dps) always but their width must change according to the left and right constraints.
That's the end of my layout definition.
Now let's start with defining the left and right constraints along with the height. What I do is to select all of the label and textfields, I pin the left and right and set their height to the same value:
But what I get looks like this:
The resulting layout looks nothing like I wanted, the width for every element is set to the same size and the right values don't make sense, I stated 11 dps but I get values like 187, 173 and 228.
Even if I set the top and bottom constraints, the right constraints keep looking the same:
How do I fix this? I've deleted and started from scratch several times but I can't find to understand what am I doing wrong. Some of the technical language challenges me sometimes (I'm not a native english speaker) so I don't know if I'm interpreting something differently.
Some of the links for the tutorials I've looked into are this, this and this.
You need to ask Interface Builder to update the frames of those elements. All those yellow lines/numbers are constraints that are currently not satisfied - the frames of the elements don't match what the constraints require.
However, it's often better to make sure you have all your constraints set up first, before asking IB to update the frames.
Here, I've set up all the constraints you described, but I haven't asked IB to update the frames:
Here, I've asked IB to update the frames of all views in the top-level view:
If I select the subviews, I can see that the constraints are now shown in blue, meaning they are satisfied:
There have been a few similar questions with solutions, but none answered my question, so here it is.
Making a TPanel collapse/expand with a TButton on it is ridiculously simple, or so I thought. I played around and by putting the button at the very top (for expansion/collapse of height from top to bottom) or left (for expansion/collapse of width from left to right) everything worked as planned. In fact all of the expandable/collapsible "advanced" panels work in the exact same way - the button is placed on top or left only. Soon enough I hit a wall: if you put the button at the bottom or right for expansion/collapse of height or width respectively, the buttons stay where they are on... the client area (?) - I lack the knowledge to explain this properly, but I'll presume that it is clear what is happening until otherwise pointed out. The point is that with the way I'm doing this the only solution would be to reposition the button within the panel, but that might put in on top of say some other components which should not be visible at all.
So the question is: how can I make this happen properly? as my idea of resizing the panel and then repositioning the button doesn't look like a proper approach to this problem. Alternatively, I'd gladly take some component that does this, however from the components that I have checked out, all act the same, even JEDI VCL TJvRollOut component can set Placement (of the button/caption) only to plTop or plLeft, so I'm thinking this isn't as simple to do?
Set to your button Anchors property to [akLeft, akBottom].
There are two properties for adjusting the alignment of any tool in delphi:
Align (alNone, alLeft, alRight, alTop....)
Anchors (akLeft, akRight, akTop, akBottom)
e.g.
You have a panel and drag a TEdit on the TPanel. Now, you want TEdit to occupy ONLY top-left corner of TPanel and its distance form the bottom and right corners of the panel should remain constant irrespective of changing the panel size (which means TEdit expands if you extent panel along the bottom or right corners).
Set Align-> alNone. (not alLeft or else tEdit would occupy entire left region on panel and not just top-left).
Set Anchors-> akLeft=akTop=akRight=akBottom=True.
In case you set akLeft=akTop=True and akRight=akBottom=False: then the size of TEdit remains constant on expanding panel along the bottom or right corners.
I have previously been using VGScene (Firemonkey predecessor) to create an application and have recently switched to Delphi XE2's Firemonkey.
To scale my form in VGScene all I had to do was to scale the Root object of the VGScene object to scale all content in the form. However I am unsure how this should be done using FireMonkey.
My form consists of two TLayouts, one left aligned and one set to Client align, with a vertical splitter control between the left and client layouts. The client layout also has a list box on it set to client alignment.
I have tried having a base TLayout with all my controls on it, and scaling the base TLayout but this doesn't quite work properly, the left layout scales properly, but the client layout's listbox seem to extend past the right and bottom edge of the client layout object? i.e. when you have a full list the list items extend past the right edge of the form, (which are cut off) and the vertical scrollbar isn't shown completely either as it extends past the bottom of the form. It is as though the client layout's width and height are scaled to that larger than the form allows, but should it not still fill the form's area?
I have tried to just scale the individual object's, like just scaling the listbox, but this produces the same result, the listbox extends past the bounds of the form.
Anyone have any ideas?
One possibility is that you didn't quite follow exactly the instructions for laying out your controls and splitter, as recommended on the TSplitter documentation?
If you didn't, it is easy to get to a point where all the properties seem to be set to the right values, but somehow the controls and splitter just don't cooperate. I would recommend trying again, paying careful attention to getting the align properties with the correct values, i.e. alLeft on the left component, alLeft on the splitter, and alClient on the right component.
Just started testing FireMonkey and can't find a way to make dynamically sized/positioned components.
VCL had the Anchor property, FM does not.
Anybody see something I missed
Update:
Simple anchoring is not available in FM. You have to create TLayouts and align those, then put the controls inside the panel to have them 'stick'. If you used older version of Builder or Delphi, this will be the same as we used to have to do with TPanels.
This is the answer to your question. The anchors property in VCL has apparently been replaced by Margins and Padding (due to performance considerations) and I found some documentation at the XE2 wiki (http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/en/FireMonkey_Application_Design). I doubt if anchors will be put in at a later date. To anchor two buttons (Ok and Cancel) at the bottom of a form on the right side do the following.See images below for the Ok and cancel button.
Place a small panel aligned to the bottom on the form, say about 40 height. Set the 'Margins' on the bottom panel to create a smaller space in which the buttons will live, make sure you set the align the button to alRight. For example the gap between the right edge of the form and the right most button has a margin of 15. The top and bottom margins were set to 12. That anchors the right most button.
'Padding' is the opposite to a margin, the padding puts space outside the control. To the right most button I added a padding of 20 to the left side, this will be the space between the two buttons. For the second button to the left of the first all we need to do is set the align property to alRight, no need to adjust the padding or margins.
Drop multiple TLayout components on the form and configure their alignment properties as desired. Drop other components into these layouts and set their alignment properties relative to the TLayout they are contained in. Seems to be working for me...
Here's the answer you are looking for: FMX controls do not have anchors.
I imagine this will be a "next version" feature.
A quick look at the align property reveals many more choices than we had in previous Delphi versions:
Doesn't that solve your problem (at least partially).
I remember getting by OK for a long time just using nested panels and align to layout stuff.
You can use LiveBindings and expressions to set the properties of your control based on the parent control, though it's a lot of work.
Otherwise, use Margins and Padding (like HTML/CSS).
