I am extremely new to Vaadin, and I don't know all controls, I tried to google but didn't find type of control. My question is which is control visible on this link
http://demo.vaadin.com/sampler/#foundation/cssinject
which is used for navigation (left and right arrow buttons on left and right side of screen which you press to change content in middle or something like this doesn't exist in vaadin by default and this is in jquery ?) ?
I need to implement this, to change content on click, to allow user to iterate through shopping cart like this.
They are probably just buttons. Imagine 3 columns Button | Content | Button
Button.onclick -> Load Content
I use this carousel add-on which does that. Buttons are bigger but can be changed using css.
It has a nice transition effect, sliding left and right.

I have a TabControl with many tabs. During the design time there is a control artifact like the one the image below where I can scroll the tabs that are not visible, since there is no available space to show them all.
However at runtime it shows up like this:
[
The only way to select the other non visible tabs is using the keyboard arrows when focusing on any of the visible tabs.
The user will not know that there are more hidden tabs with this problem.
The FullSize parameter does not change anything on runtime. Clipchildren, ClipParent, etc does not cause any change.
As you know there is a new component called TMultiView that can be user as navigation drawer if you set the mode to Drawer. Let's say that I have a drawer with 5 buttons inside and each of them, when clicked, shows in the main form a particular layout.
I was thinking that I could add to my form a lot of TLayout and set their visibility to false. Then, when I click in a button of the Drawer, I set the respective visibility to true/false.
I am not sure if this is a good way to structure the app. Do you have any suggestion?
One approach is to place a TabControl on the form. As you have 5 buttons and want 5 different "layouts" you would add 5 tabs to the TabControl. On each tab place a TLayout.
At design time it is straight forward to design each of the layouts.
At run time switch to the appropriate layout.
If I select a view with my mouse in a storyboard or xib, Xcode will select the front most view. I know that I can select the other views in the document outline, but if I want to grab a background view to move it with my mouse, the front most view gets selected again when I click in the storyboard.
I think there is a way to cycle through the views and select the ones in the back by holding down on some keys, but I can't find what it is. Does anyone know?
I'm using Xcode 4.6. I know that I can also move background views using the size inspector, but I'm looking for a way to position them with my mouse.
One way is to use the jump bar at the top of the editor. It's the control that shows the path of objects leading to the current selection.
Another way is to press control+shift and left click (or shift right click) an item. That shows you all of the objects under the mouse in a menu, and allows you to disambiguate the one you meant to select.
The good news: Place your mouse on the overlapped images, press and hold shift and right click the mouse. You should see the list of objects, select your object in the back. You can resize as you wish.
The bad news: you can only use the cursor arrows if you want to move it!
Select the view from the menu on the left of interface builder.
we're using smartGWT for our web application. An the main page is a tabset that shows different tabs. What I want to do is do a button to the tab set with the setTabBarControls method which then is alligned to the left instead to the right. So it would somewhat look like the current Firefox version.
Is there a possibility to change the allignment of the TabBarControls? I couldn't find any.
If you want to create something like the Firefox corner button, just use TabSet.addChild(). That will place the button at the upper left, and you can use setLeft/setTop to move it elsewhere. If you want the control to appear to the left of the tabs, set a layoutStartMargin on the TabBar to leave space for it.
I am building an user interface. My program will consist of 4 main parts:
1) Top Menu - TMainMenu. A top of a window
2) Main Menu - TTreeView. A left of a window. Each item of TreeView=corresponded TabSheet of TPageCotrol.
3) Work space - TPageControl. No tabs. An left space.
Each TabSheet has it's own ToolBar and other controls. It will be 5 menus (5 items in TreeView) = 5 TabSheets -> 5 ToolBars and other controls on each TabSheet.
It almost exactly looks like here (it could be: TreeView as Main Menu; MainMenu as Top Menu; Work Area - ToolBar and other controls):
I would like to use an user interface like here:
Where the CoolBar are represented with the Top Menu and the ToolBar (it suits my purpose to use 5 ToolBars instead of 1 ToolBar on each TabSheet). But after a discussion here it seems impossible to copy this CoolBar with the MainMenu and the ToolBar.
My question: how to build an efficient user interface using as examples the UI of uTorrent and the UI of Windows Firewall?
Are there good alternatives, ideas of a building of the UI? How would you make your interface if you need those 4 parts as me?
Now I have something like this:
Thanks!
You'll have to have 5 panels in your client area.
As you select a node in the treeview on the left you will need to call
pnlInboundRules.BringToFront;
The difficult thing is then how to update the single toolbar with the items that should appear on it based on what "tab" you've selected.
You would have to delete the toolbar buttons, and add new buttons for that "page".
Ian suggest panels, I would go with PageControl and set it's tabs TabVisible to false at runtime(*). The reason is that it is much more easy to manage at design time. When user select an item from treeview, activate corresponding TabSheet...
*) I actually haven't done this with stock TPageControl so I don't rememeber would it work this way, ie would it activate TabSheet which have it's TabVisible set to false. It might be that you have to set TabHeight to 0 or use some other trick to hide tabs at runtime.
