I have an app with a ListView showing a list of summary items.
I've added print support, but I'm stuck on splitting my content into different pages.
I can add multiple pages, but I don't know how to split my content into pages based on page size.
Currently I have a xaml user control for my print content with a bound ItemsControl in it. I'd either like to bind to a list of just the items that will fit on the page, or move the top visible item position up based on the page number.
I'm not sure which is the best approach and I'm not sure how to do either.
The only paging example I could find in the docs was for a rich text block, which relies on the RichTextBlockOverflow control. I don't think that will help me.

I have to create a PDF which contains data like a quotation document (text, tables, images, etc.). The data varies from 1 page to 3-4 pages. A table cell may have combination of text and images. Also, I have custom graphics to be rendered in PDF to show different shapes.
Example format:
I have tried PDFKit provided by Apple. I was able to draw individual parts. But I don't know how can I achieve auto page break mode (which shifts data to new page when there is no more space available in a page). One way to achieve this is that I have to calculate individual heights and divide data into pages as per available page size.
Is there any better way to do it using PDFKit?
I am also aware about creating PDF using UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToData(). It also doesn't support auto page break. We have to call UIGraphicsBeginPDFPageWithInfo() for each new page.
I have also tried TPPDF and SimplePDF. Both don't support either page break on table or custom views.
I also can't go for HTML to PDF solution as I have custom views to be drawn in PDF.
Which is the best way in iOS to create PDF with above mentioned requirements?
"One way to achieve this is that I have to calculate individual heights and divide data into pages as per available page size." - this is the only way as PDFKit does not include automatic data layout and auto page breaks.
I've a page called Page where I'll add some blocks called a PageBlock. This two are both document types. Under the Page you could create Pageblocks and Pages. Inside my listview on the backoffice, I'll only show the Pages. In the content three, I'll only show the Pages.
How could I do that?
I've tried to find a filter but nothing found and I wouldn't write a plugin. I'm using Umbraco 7.6
Update: I know how to create an listview but how could I make a filter to show only the childeren of one document type?
I don't know if I understand the question correctly, but I think what you want to do is set the permission of Pages to allow Pageblocks as its children (On the permissions tab of Pages)
Now if you want to display the children of Pages as a listview go to List view (top right) of Pages and enable Yes - Enable list view
If you want to both be able to view children in the tree and in a listview, you can leave the above option unchecked and add a List View property to the Pages documenttype (as displayed in your screenshot)
I'd like to create a layout to show this table in list view, the point is to make the text field resizable according to content. I have try several method, but all fails. I am using FileMaker 12.
Any help much appreciated.
For Browse mode you can set layout objects to dynamically resize based on the layout size, but not on the object contents. If you need this functionality in Browse mode you will probably need to use a web-viewer.
In Preview mode you can use sliding left and sliding up for reduction of the size of the layout objects, but there is no option to expand.
In Browse and Find modes, if a field isn't set to have a scroll bar, the field will expand while the user is entering data, but only then. It will return to the default size when the user navigates to another field or another record.
In Preview mode, you can make the field larger than it could possibly need and set it to slide up and also reduce the size of the enclosing part. But the user won't be able to interact with the interface of the layout (can't click buttons, change data, etc.).
A workaround might be to use a tooltip. If you set the tooltip to the contents of the field itself, then the user can hover over the field to see any expanded contents.
If you really need exactly the functionality that you mention (which I would define as having field height and enclosing body part expand in list view based on the field's content length while in FileMaker), the only way I could see doing it would be to use custom web publishing to create a web page and use FileMaker's web viewer to show that web page. F 'n' web has an article that might be of some assistance if you go this route.
I have to support a website developed in umbraco. I am totally new to this and this is am working on this for the very first time. My requirement is very straight-I need to edit the content of a webpage. When I too the page it opened with two tabs - Main Content and Properties. In the main content tab I can edit the Title, Banner image, Content header etc, but not the content of the page. It doesn't give any rich textbox to edit the content. I have uploaded the view of one of the page.
I need urgently need to edit the content.Please help with this.
The screenshot implies that the content should be under the "Content" headline in the right screen, but depending on how the documenttype for the frontpage i created, the content could be made up by sub nodes. try folding out the tree to see.
If it dos-nt make sence you can see what documentype a node is made on and what template it uses to display it by clicking the Properties tab. Then go to the Settings Tab in the bottom and see what that documenttype contains and how its displayed in the template
I am trying to display items retrieved from an XML DB using xforms:select1 control using appearance=xxforms:tree. The items appear collapsed or expanded automatically and the behaviour is not the same for all the items retrieved. I have the following questions regarding xxforms:tree view:
how to make sure this view shows sub-nodes (those expandable/collapsable using +/- icon) as collapsed or expanded always, irrespective of, for example, the no. of nodes covered by the + icon?
how to render select1 with tree appearance without making any of the items hyperlinks?
how to make sure no item is highlighted/selected by default?
...and although the docs say xxforms:menu is also a possible appearance (URL http://www.orbeon.com/orbeon/doc/reference-xforms-extensions#tree), the details are not available...
About which branches of the tree should be open — By default all the nodes leading to selected nodes are open, this so the selected values are all visible. But you can change this default behavior and specify which nodes should be open using the xxforms:open attribute. For more on this, see the section "Controlling which tree nodes are initially open" on Selection Controls. Note that this feature was added in October 2010, so it is not included in Orbeon Forms 3.8, and until Orbeon Forms 3.9 is released, you'll need to get a nightly build for this.
About using links in the tree — At this point, the nodes you can click on in the select1 appearance="xxforms:tree control are rendered as links, so users know that this is something they can click on to make a selection. I assume that you don't want them to show as links because the tree might be "read-only" in your case (for information only, not to make a selection). This isn' supported at this point. As a workaround, you could use CSS to change the pointer and appearance of links in the tree so to users they don't even notice that this those are links.
About the menu appearance — It works very much like the tree appearance. See for instance this example using the menu.
