I have designed the following crosstab in my report:
Is there a way I can make the first (title) row invisible (the row that mentions ‘Sum of resultaat’ and ‘volgnumm’).
I have no clue how to achieve this…
You don't specify which version of ReportBuilder you are using, but I've had a look at my version here (Version 10) and the CrossTab component does appear quite limited in terms of customisation.
However, ReportBuilder is quite well structured and a quick look at the ppCTRend.pas file reveals that it should be possible to create your own custom renderer derived from TppCustomCrossTabRenderer (remembering to register the rendering class with a call to ppRegisterRenderer). Methods to look at would be AddTextToPage and DrawCells
I got word from Nard Moseley from digital-metaphors that it's impossible to do at this moment:
"There are no properties or events to control that. You could set the captions to empty string, but no way to delete the row entirely."

This is one of those just-making-sure-I-didn't-miss-anything posts.
I have a TKinter GUI in Python 2.7.3 that includes a listbox, and there are circumstances where I'd like to directly modify the text of a specific item at a known index. I've scoured the documents and there's no lb.itemset() method or anything like it. As best I can tell I have two options, either of which would work but just seem kind of klunky to me:
lb.delete() the old item and lb.insert() the new value for it at the same index (including a step to re-select the new value if the old deleted one happened to be selected).
Create a listvariable for the listbox, then use get() and set() on it -- with a pile of replace/split/join acrobatics in between to handle the differing string formats involved.
Is there some simpler, more direct way to do it that I'm missing? Or have I turned up all the available options?
Assuming from silence that there's nothing I missed. I went with option 2 -- the acrobatics weren't quite as complex as I'd thought. I just created a behind-the-scenes list wrapped up in a class; every time I update the list, the class syncs up the content of the listbox by doing a ' '.join on the list then setting the listbox's listvariable to the resulting string.
The auto_complete_for dealio from script.aculo.us is great an all, but is there a way for me to selectively disable the fact that it always auto-selects the first item in the list?
The problem is that, if I want to type my own entry that is new, and novel, I don't want the first item in the list to be auto-selected. The reason is because when I TAB out of the field, it selects, and fills the text box with that first item.
I got around that, somewhat, by making the first item in the list the same as what I'm typing, but that's not perfect either, because the auto_complete list doesn't always update with every keystroke, depending on how fast I type. I've tried setting the list refresh rate to the lowest value (1 millisecond) but no go.
What I really want is an option in "auto_complete_for" that doesn't select that first item at all - the same way that Google Instant doesn't automatically select the first suggested search phrase - you have to arrow-down to select one.
Maybe I can do this via an HTML option that I'm missing?
Looking at the source, there doesn't appear to be an option for that, but I bet if you changed line 284 of controls.js to this.index = -1; it would do what you want.
Otherwise, it might be time to look for a different autocomplete widget.
If your requirements are too far away from the available plugin, then I guess there is no point in tinkering around. Its best to write your own JS code.
You might want to consider this: https://github.com/laktek/jQuery-Smart-Auto-Complete
or this : https://github.com/reinh/jquery-autocomplete
I'll add another alternative that works great with Rails 3:
http://github.com/crowdint/rails3-jquery-autocomplete
I recently implemented auto complete for more than a field for Rails 2.0.2.
The plugin I used is:- https://github.com/david-kerins/auto_complete . Not sure if it supports Rails 3.
I have also encountered issues on implementing the above scenario and have posted questions( Implementing auto complete for more than one field in Rails ; Implementing a OnClick kind of functionality and formatting wrt Rails Partial-Views ) on stackoverflow for the same, I have been lucky on getting things working for me based on my requirement.
Kindly refer to these questions, they might have relevance to your requirement.
I need a delphi component for Delphi 2007 win32 that have features like Google search text box.
** While User writing search key it should fill/refresh the list with values, and user can select one of them.
**User can go up and down list and can select one of them.
**List should contain codes and text pair, so user can select text and I can get code for database operations.
(Google can highlight the search text in List but I think it is not possible with Delphi 2007, so it is not expected.)
I tried Dev Express TcxMRUEdit, however it doesn't meet my needs
Since you have DevExpress, why don't you try the cxLookupComboBox in lsEditMode and with ImmediateDropDown = True?
Check out woll2woll components. The TLookupcombobox has done this since Delphi 3 (or earlier). This is not spam, I just use the library.

I also had the same problem and unfortunately didn't find a suitable component. I was also inspired from google.
So it turned out to be easier for me to "simulate a component" by using an editbox and a grid placed under it. As the user types something in the editbox the query refreshes and the proper resulst are shown in the grid. I have many columns in the grid, the query results try to match all the fields (so if I type 'po', the query will return all records where any field is like 'po%'). I also added a delay of 500ms after the user types to avoid to run too many unnecessary queries (another aproach could be to kill the thread as the user strikes a new key, if the query is run in a thread).
In this way I obtained the required functionality, even if without higlighting the search text, anyway my users are delighted by this.
In every place I am using this "component" I am attaching a query at runtime so it can be used in many different forms.
I somehow was also inspired by the skype UI: when you display the lsit of contacts you can type something and the contacts will be filtered accordingly (skype uses an editbox + grid/listbox).
i need to localize a Reporting Services-report (.rdlc) and i would like to do it using a ressource-file (.resx).
I found pages like this and that and they use custom code to achieve their target.
But pages like Setting the Report Language Parameter in a URL give me the impression that localization in reports is possible without custom code.
So, it is possible to localize a Reporting Services-report without custom code ?
If so, is there a tutorial that explains how it's done?
What in the report do you want to localize?
values from the database? Those should be retrieved from the database in the appropriate language already
fixed labels and textboxes on the report? I have not yet seen any compelling way to doing this - you can either have
one report "skeleton" / template per language (and pick the one you need)
if the number of elements is manageable, define report parameters which you can set from the calling code, to set the labels and texts
use some custom .NET extension for handling localization
It's not really an awfully pretty picture, indeed - I'd be most interested in better solutions myself! (I typically need to support 3-4 languages for any report - and I'm using only server-based .RDL files, no .RDLC, so any localization that depends on client-side resource files is not usable in my case)
I would add one method when it comes to labels and textboxes:
Create a placeholder element within the textbox and use Expression field to
use a Switch clause , switching on the Language parameter.
It's not superpretty, but also works pretty well for 3-4 languages
I am passing parameters to the report for labels etc, and after adding the parameters to the report (using the menu option Report -> Parameters in VS2008) you can then use the values of these parameters to localise the labels. This is workiiing well enough, although it would be nicer to be abkle to refer to resource keys immediately from your form labels etc.
I am working on some code that scrapes a page for two css classes on a page. I am simply using the Hpricot search method for this as so:
webpage.search("body").search("div.first_class | div.second_class")
...for each item found i create an object and put it into an array, this works great except for one thing.
The search will go through the entire html page and add an object into an array every time it comes across '.first_class' and then it will go through the document again looking for '.second_class', resulting in the final array containing all of the searched items in the incorrect order in the array, i.e all of the '.first_class' objects, followed by all the '.second_class' objects.
Is there a way i can get this to search the document in one go and add an object into the array each time it comes across one of the specified classes, giving me an array of items that is in the order they are come across in on the page i am scraping?
Any help much appreciated. Thanks
See the section here on "Checking for a Few Attributes":
http://wiki.github.com/why/hpricot/hpricot-challenge
You should be able to stack the elements in the same way as you do attributes. This feature is apparently possible in Hpricot versions after 2006 Mar 17... An example with elements is:
doc.search("[#href][#type]")
Ok so it turned out i was mistaken and this didn't do anything different to what i previously had at all. However, i have come up with a solution, wether it is the most suitable or not i am not sure. It seems like a fairly straight forward for an annoying problem though.
I now perform the search for the two classes above as i mentioned above:
webpage.search("body").search("[#class~='first_class']|[#class~='second_class']")
However this still returned an array firstly containing all the divs with a class of 'first_class' followed by all divs with a class of 'second_class'. So to fix this and get an array of all the items as they appear in order on the page, i simply chain the 'add_class' method with my own custom class e.g. 'foo_bar'. This then allows me to perform another search on the page for all divs with just this one tag, thus returning an array of all the items i am after, in the order they appear on the page.
webpage.search("body").search("[#class~='first_class']|[#class~='second_class']").add_class("foo_bar")
webpage.search("body").search("[#class~='foo_bar']")
Thanks for the tip. I hadn't spotted that in the documentation and also found another page i hadnt seen either. I have fixed this with the following line:
webpage.search("body").search("[#class~='first_class']|[#class~='second_class']")
This now adds an object into the array each time it comes across one of the above classes in the document. Brilliant!
