I am trying to export data from all records in a FM database on FM GO on an iPad in an xlsx format. I can export ok apart from layouts which have a tab control layout - these layouts only seem to export the data from the tab viewed rather than all the tabs on the screen. I know I have made this work before so all the fields appear in the "select fields" list but now I can only seem to get the current tab fields to show in that list when exporting. Can anyone help?
Thanks

On the desktop, when you export records there is a drop-down list with two options: fields on the layout and all fields related to the content. Only fields from the visible tabs will be included in the first option. In FileMaker Go the behaviour is the same, but you do not have a drop-down and it defaults to the fields placed on the layout. Simple workaround is to place missing fields on the layout and make them non-editable and invisible. I tested on FM Go 11, but I do not think this functionality changed in later versions. In 12/13 you can try to place the fields to the right of the layout border, not sure if it works.

I want to achieve a selection box in the drop down window.(I'm using something like
<%= f.select(:season, options_for_select(['spring/fall', 'winter', 'summer'], 'spring/fall'))%>
for the selection box for now)
In this window, I want to have many icons. The user can select one of these icons. And the selected icon will be saved in the database as one attribute of the object.
Can I do this without JavaScript?
Yes it is possible to use the background-image property to set icons in a dropdown, but apparently it only works in Firefox
See this question for discussions of how to do it with JS putting images with options in a dropdown list
I am trying to recreate a popular effect that all iPhone users have seen before on their settings page. Something like when selecting a wireless network. There is normally a title that says "Available Networks" with a blue arrow icon to the right. onClick there is an accordion style slide down effect to reveal the available networks.
I am trying to recreate this to use as a drop down input for my app's settings page since iPhone does not have anything like that in their storyboard builder interface. The other issue is the options will be dynamic (coming from a database).
Has anyone seen a tutorial on this or maybe an open source app I can use as reference.
I am using iOS 6.1 using Storyboards.
EDIT
I should have spent a little more time researching I am sure I would have have this post that was very helpful regardind the actual code for the drop-down not so much the dynamic data. How to create DropDown in xcode?
When I create a workbook in Spreadsheetgear with multiple worksheets, save it to a file, and open it - the tab bar displays only the last sheet added. I have to click on the tab bar navigation arrows to get all 4 of the tabs to display. Does anyone know how to adjust the settings of the tab bar display?
The Excel Macro for scrolling over the workbook tabs to the first position is this:
ActiveWindow.ScrollWorkbookTabs Position:=xlFirst
But, I cannot figure out how to make that happen in Spreadsheetgear.
This is a known bug in SpreadsheetGear 10.0. It is supposed to be fixed in the next release. See comment below that I received from support:
It looks like you are running into a known bug. SpreadsheetGear is writing out an
incorrect “firstSheet” index, which causes Excel to “scroll” to the corresponding
incorrect spot, all but hiding the rest of the tabs from view. The scenarios we found
that led to this issue all included both adding and removing/hiding sheets to a workbook
in the same routine, although there could be more scenarios we are unaware of.
We opened up a Work Item to look into fixing this in our next major release, which is
due out very soon—we are likely within a month of a Beta release, although this could slip.
My universal app has a settings page, wherein the user must choose a theme from a dozen available themes.
Problem is, if I am using a picker-view, it takes up most of the screen on an iPhone.
I think what I want is something like your standard Windows drop-down menu, where it just displays on a single line the current selection, and clicking it expands into a scrollable list of possible items. Selecting an item collapses the list back into the original form.
So my question is: What is my best method for handling this situation? Can anyone point me to pictures or code examples of how this situation is handled successfully?
EDIT:
This is the behaviour I'm looking for:
only the currently selected profile is displayed
when the user taps on this, it expands into a list
when the user selects an item (or taps outside of the view) it collapses back to its original form, now displaying the new selection
ie functionally equivalent to a dropdown.
Firstly, this question is a duplicate of:
(not much good) Picker view as subview
(same) How to make an iPhone dropdown-looking button
(better) How to create drop down list box for an iphone app
(even better) Creating a drop-down list in iPhone app
(that last one links to some handy code)
Secondly, Google image search for 'dropdown control iphone' restricting the image size to 320x480 shows how everyone is doing this.
Basically a picker view scrolls in from the bottom, the same way as the keyboard does.
We would like to be able to customize the areas outside the form elements area itself, such that customers can have all their forms including the areas surrounding the form in their own style. For instance in the area on the top we would like to have a different color and we would like to replace the Orbeon logo by the logo of the customer. Also we would like to hide/remove/customize some buttons that appear below the form. For instance we don't need the buttons for PDF, Email and Close and we want to change the text in the Save button to Submit.
Is that possible? If so, how do we do that? Is there some instruction somewhere for this?
Yes, you can do all of this through properties:
You can change the color at the top by overriding the .fr-top rule defined in form-runner-orbeon.css. For more on how to override CSS, see: Default CSS.
You can replace or remove the default logo with the oxf.fr.default-logo.uri.*.* property. See Default logo.
You can choose which buttons are shown on the Form Runner "details" page by overriding the oxf.fr.detail.buttons.*.* property. See Buttons on the detail page.
You can change the label on a button by overriding resources. See Overriding resources.
I was faced with the problem to change the icon in the browser address and found the answer of Alessandro Vernet:
http://discuss.orbeon.com/page-address-bar-browser-icon-td4660752.html .
But this solution has the drawback that I had to change the orbeon-form-runner.jar, and this with every new orbeon forms release, what I wanted to avoid.
So the idea was to give my icons the same name as the orbeon icons and to load them in a corresponding directory of the resource directory.
So I named my icon orbeon-icon-16.ico and orbeon-icon-16.png and loaded the two files in orbeon/WEB-INF/resources/ops/images.
For Firefox this was OK, but IE continued to show the orbeon icon. Then I noticed that in orbeon-core.jar there where also the 32 pixel icon.
So I added the two files orbeon-icon-32.ico and orbeon-icon-32.png and than also IE was showing our icon.
