GridPanel inside div having style display:none

kunal_icreon — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:51:58 GMT

Hi All,

I am using GridPanel for displaying data. It is working fine.
But I want to display gridpanel inside a div having style display:none.

I mean,
I have 3 div inside a page, first time div1 have display:block and div2 and div3 has display:none.

where inside the div2, which is currently display:none has a gridpanel and iam binding all the gridpanel first

time when page will load. I am showing a single div whenever i will click to show a particular div using javascript.

So again at the first time the gridpanel that are inside div2, which is currently display:none is not binding.
Moreover i have checked that if the girdpanel is inside a div with display:none then the data is not binding.

Again i put the STORE (the ext:Store gridpanel datasource ) outside the div and i bind the gridpanel that is inside

a div having dispaly:none, till the data is not dispaly.

Can you give me some solution that i will bind a gridpanel inside a div having style property of the container div

is none. I mean <div id="divOverview" style="display:none;"> GRIDPANEL HERE </div>.

Iam sending the code.

ASPX

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function ShowHideDiv(divID,anchor)
{
var divOverview = document.getElementById('divOverview');
var divProductData = document.getElementById('divProductData');
var divReview = document.getElementById('divReview');

var lnkRequestOverview = document.getElementById('<%=lnkRequestOverview.ClientID %>');
var lnkProductData = document.getElementById('<%=lnkProductData.ClientID %>');
var lnkReviewAndSubmit = document.getElementById('<%=lnkReviewAndSubmit.ClientID %>');

if (divOverview !=null)
{
divOverview.style.display = 'none';
lnkRequestOverview.className = "inactive";
}
if (divProductData !=null)
{
divProductData.style.display = 'none';
lnkProductData.className = "inactive";
}
if (divReview !=null)
{
divReview.style.display = 'none';

lnkReviewAndSubmit.className = "inactive";
}

var cDiv= document.getElementById(divID);
if (cDiv !=null)
{
cDiv.style.display = 'block';
var currLnk=null;
if (anchor=='lnkRequestOverview')
{
lnkRequestOverview.className = "active";
}
else if (anchor=='lnkProductData')

lnkProductData.className = "active";

Coolite 0.82 on Mono

helmishariff — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 23:14:42 GMT

Hi, I successfully run coolite 0.8 on Mono but having problem with ver. 0.82. I just got white blank page. No error, except if I put ExtraParams.

[code]

[/code]

Error message:

Parser Error Message: Cannot add a Coolite.Ext.Web.Parameter to System.String

Update:

I made some mistake. I uploaded to old mono version. Ver 0.82 running on latest Mono. Except with the ExtraParam.

Coolite v1 release date

danielg — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 07:43:26 GMT

I know there have been posts about this in the past, but do you have an estimate as to when version 1 of Coolite should be released, as well as the associated documentation? Also, will it definitely be using ExtJS 3?

We are likely to be using Coolite in a large-scale project so would like to get an idea as to when version 1 will be available.

Thanks.

Coolite or Ext JS from Scrach

vali1993 — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 07:29:27 GMT

.net with coolite or .net with ext js from scratch.

I came acoss an article below. Can the experts here help me with a few concepts?

1. is there something that could not be accomplished in coolite that exits Ext JS? if there is, how do you work around it? (Create the page with EST JS ,put in iframe, add it to coolite page?)

2. Can any extensions or plugins be used with Coolite web controls?

3. is it true about the disadvanges of using coolite in below artical?

http://www.simple-talk.com/dotnet/asp.net/ext-framework,-jquery-and-asp.net/

Using Coolite / ASP.NET

[quote]Don’t want to bother with JavaScript? Well Coolite is your answer. I like Coolite, but I also like JavaScript so it really boils down to your preference. There are advantages to both approaches. Coolite is good because you can drag and drop server controls on your web form and setup the properties in Visual Studio just like you would any other server control. Coolite is free unless you want the source code. The biggest disadvantage of Coolite is when Ext upgrades. Because Ext is encapsulated in Coolite you have to wait for Coolite to upgrade before you can take advantage of the new features and fixes of Ext. Also, when Coolite does upgrade, you have to upgrade all your projects to use the new version of Coolite. It can become very tedious doing this. Basically with Coolite, you get the latest version now and stick with it for the long run. Another disadvantage is the extent to what Coolite implements. Not all the features of Ext are available in Coolite controls. So with that said, don’t let my negativity dissuade you from checking out Coolite. It is very awesome and it continues to become more powerful as time goes on![/quote]

Better modular support

dbassett74 — Fri, 15 May 2009 14:42:20 GMT

So far, I've been evaluating Coolite for a few months now and must say that I really like it. My company is planning on purchasing some professional licenses shortly and roll out a commerical product. However, as nice as it is, I think there is one major flaw that has really caused me a great deal of grief. Its the fact that unless you initialize EVERYTHING on a single page, it gets extremely difficult to manage the interaction between various windows. I completely want to stay away from initializing everything on the main page so as to limit the amount of browser resources needed at any one time and to minimize initial load time. In an application that has large amounts of windows, this is very critical. This is something that we are firmly set on. Loading everything up front is NOT an option.

So, my attempt at "modularizing" the application was to make use of the AutoLoad feature of Windows and Panels to only load URLs of other Coolite scripted pages when needed. Initially, I thought this was the approach to take as it seemed to work very well. However, there are several problems with this approach:

1) It creates a very disjointed experience. It gets extremely difficult to interact with other windows.

2) Context menus are confined to the IFrame in which they were initialized in. So for example, if from the main page you show a Coolite window which then uses AutoLoad to display another page with a context menu, that context menu will be strictly confined to that window. So if you happen to have a TreePanel in that window and you show the context menu on the last node, the context menu will not overlap the window, instead, it will be repositioned upward. It looks VERY unpolished. In a standard Windows application, a context menu will not be confined to that window. It will overlap the window if it has to up to the limits of the screen.

3) Modal windows initialized from an IFrame, are only modal for that IFrame, not the entire application.

So my idea is to create some sort of "Application" model type for Coolite in which a main page would somehow be aware of all other windows in the application, even if they were dynamically loaded only when needed. This way, modal windows would be modal throughout the app, not just the IFrame and context menus could display freely ANYWHERE in the application, not just the IFrame in which it was called.

I'm sure other people could add their 2 cents here as well. I just think that for the purposes of building any functional application, there has to be better support for an "Application" type model.

Is anything like this in the works??

C# Code in Markup-Script-Tag or Codebehind

macap — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 09:02:58 GMT

Hello,

I just found it, that I do not need to recompile my whole solution,
when I change C# Code inside a <script runat="server">-Tag in Markup.

This only takes seconds to test something instead of 2-3 Minutes for writing the code in codebehind,
stopping the debugger, restarting the debugger.

Does anybody of you know any disadvantages of writing code in markup?

For example that the Customer can see the sourcecode.

Or is it slower on runtime if the code is in the markup file or... whatever?

Regards,

Martin

amitpareek — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 01:58:43 GMT

Coolite upgrade experience

vali1993 — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 10:55:00 GMT

Can someone who have upgraded coolite toolkit for their projects share some experiences on how it is done? any diffcuities?
One thing I am a little puzzled about right now is, after we add the new version of coolite toolbox, is there anything else that has to be done for the exiting code and controls that is created using earlier version of coolite?

Thank you

Coolite / Ext JS user group - south-west England

danielg — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 04:25:58 GMT

I live in Bath, UK and am interested in starting up a Coolite / Ext JS user group in this area. I've been using Coolite and Ext JS for just over a year, but would like to get other people's views on these technologies and see how they are being used within other businesses.

A user group would allow Coolite / Ext JS developers to meet up and share knowledge and development best practices, with the aim of improving our overall knowledge and use of the technologies.

If you live within the south-west England area (near Bath / Bristol) and would be interested in being part of a Coolite / Ext JS user group, please post a reply to this thread with details of where you are located.

Many thanks,

Dan

Ext Intellisense with Coolite?

macap — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 06:55:22 GMT

Hi Guys,

I was trying to activate a kind of ExtJS intellisense like it is shown for general js-files in:

http://weblogs.asp.net/kencox/archive/2008/08/14/enabling-javascript-intellisense-in-external-libraries.aspx

But I did not made that working. Does anyone of you have activated an intellisense functionality for ExtJS?
Maybe especially with coolite?

Regards,

Martin

how to add items from different sources using 'desktop' control

vali1993 — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 06:24:50 GMT

Hi, I am new to coolite. When i am trying the Desktop control, it seems that all the items (Add member, company info ,etc) on the desktop are defined in one single file -default.aspx. When the application gets really compliated and i would like to add 30 different items using Desktop control,Can I define items i want place on Desktop indiviually and put them together?
Hope my question makes sense.
thanks so much.

retrieve value from combobox and opens up the treeview

hi,
i have a look at coolite example in "Treepanel using PageTreeLoader".in this example it used textfield..but when i try to replaced it with combobox..it didn't work out.
here attached you the screencapture of my page..am new user of coolite v0.8..

[1.0] Wish List

r_honey — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 02:09:30 GMT

The first of those would be to have consistency using Templates. I would like to have all the inner properties named as either Template or XTemplate.

In all templates that I came across so far in 1.0 preview, all had inner properties named "Template". However, ListViewColumn has "XTemplate".

So, I think it would help if we rename all the remaining XTemplates to Templates.

8.2 Changes Documentation and Vs. 1.0

rthiney — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 09:56:23 GMT

Also, what are the benefits / expected work to move from 8.* to 1.0?

[1.0] Possibility of future conflict with core ExtJs

r_honey — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 01:27:03 GMT

While studying some examples on 1.0 Examples Explorer, I found that 1.0 uses Ext.net as the base namespace for its client-side ExtJs extensions.

I fear this might cause a future conflict with code ExtJs, if they decide to use Ext.net for some purpose. ".net" is a very meaningful sub-namespace in Web programming. Possibly, they might move some server-side communication classes or some Ajax oriented classes to Ext.net. It might raise serious issues later.

One more thing. I wonder if Coolite has struck some official partnership with ExtJs. I was surprised to see ExtJs logo being used for Coolite 1.0.

[1.0] Logic behind blanket renaming of Ajax... to Direct...

r_honey — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 01:06:36 GMT

Among many good things that are coming with the forth-coming 1.0 release, one thing that caught me by surprise was the blanket renaming of Ajax prefix in the toolkit to Direct.

I really could not understand the logic behind this one. As a web developer, the term "Ajax" comes naturally to me. And it sounding logical everywhere it was used in the toolkit (AjaxEventArgs, AjaxMethod etc.). The term Direct gives no idea and is not a term you associate to web development.

Can someone from the core team please take time out to give a bit of detail as to why such blanket renaming was necessary??

[1.0] Undocumented Breaking Changes

r_honey — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 03:01:25 GMT

Removed the static Instance method from Ext.Net.MessageBox
Renamed Coolite.Ext.Web.MessageBox.Config to Ext.Net.MessageBoxConfig
Renamed <AjaxEvents> to <DirectEvents>

I am still converting my Project to 1.0. Frankly, it has been a bit of pain in the back. The UI has been changed extensively.

Accordingly, it is not as simple as a Search & Replace. You would need to revisit your UI if you have specified absolute numbers for Width, Height etc. instead of AutoWidth = true & AutoHeight = true.

This is a bit of an issue.

A minor change in the example explorer

plykkegaard — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 04:34:43 GMT

Hi

When opening tabs in the example explorer it's a bit annoying to see all these "overview" tabs if you open many windows in the tabpanel

I am using an extended version of the "loadPage" javascript
[code]<script type="text/javascript">
var loadPage = function(tabPanel, node) {
var tab = tabPanel.getItem(node.id);
if (!tab) {
tab = tabPanel.add({
id: node.id,
title: node.text,
tabTip: node.attributes.qtip,
closable: true,
iconCls: node.attributes.iconCls,
autoLoad: {
showMask: true,
url: node.attributes.href,
mode: 'iframe',
maskMsg: 'Opening ' + node.text + '...'
}
});
}
tabPanel.setActiveTab(tab);
}
</script>[/code]
Imo it gives the user a better overview of the various tabs opened in a session

Passing JavaScript variables between different UserControls

Hi folks,

I want to make a little survey how you pass javascript variables between user controls
What is your favorite way?

For example I have this little control (yes I know, Coolite 1.0 has resizeable Buttons :-) ):

[code]
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="NumberInputControl.ascx.cs"
Inherits="etask.App.Controls.GL.NumberInputControl" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="Coolite.Ext.Web" Namespace="Coolite.Ext.Web" TagPrefix="ext" %>

<script type="text/javascript">
var value = "";

var addValue = function(val) {
if (val == 'x') {
if (value.length > 0) {
value = value.substring(0, value.length - 1);
}
}
else {
value += val;
}

return value;
}

This is a little UserControl which provides a NumPad for using in a touchscreen.
"var value" contains the current value.

At the moment I am assuming in my webpages (which use this control) that the "var value" exists.

But IMHO that´s not a very good and clean coding style, because I have no IntelliSense etc. for that value.
How do you use it? Is it maybe a better solution to use AjaxEvents or AjaxValues?

AFAIK AjaxEvents or Values are slower, which is not very usefull for a small little NumPad-Touchscreen application.

Coolite vs Telerik vs DevExpress

ys.liew — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 20:29:47 GMT

Hi all,

Currently my company is having a plan to replace our web app controls with 3rd party components, and we have shortlisted Coolite, Telerik and DevExpress.

I'm in favour of Coolite and need some supporting information to convince my superior.

Would appreciate if someone could provide the advantages of using Coolite.

Thanks.

Styling the UI

LucJ — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 15:00:55 GMT

Hello Guys,

I would like to know what the purpose & limitations are of coolite, the product.
Is it only supposed to be used as a clean interface for data input type of applications ?
Can it be used to create general web sites for a consumer public supporting any type of look & feel ?

For example... The Coolite web site itself. Can & should it be made using the Coolite library ? Why or why not ?

Kind regards,

simonmicheal — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 05:59:27 GMT

It would be nice if coolite ajax integration was possible with this javascript library. The highChart library uses jquery so it might be possible to combine coolite with the highchart library.

Error for Update Changed data

dicklee2003 — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 11:03:40 GMT

Hi,

I've problem update changed data from the gridpanel. The following is the source

[Code]

//ASPX for Store and GridPanel

<ext:Store ID="Store1" runat="server" OnBeforeStoreChanged="Store1_BeforeStoreChanged" UseIdConfirmation="true">

<ext:JsonReader ReaderID="ID">

<ext:RecordField Name="ID" />

<ext:RecordField Name="BIZ_NAME" />

</Fields>

</ext:JsonReader>

</Reader>

</ext:Store>

<ext:GridPanel ID="GridPanel1" runat="server" AutoHeight="true" StoreID="Store1">

<ext:Toolbar runat="server" ID="ctl39">

<Items>

<ext:ToolbarButton ID="btnAdd" runat="server" Icon="Add" Text="Add">

</Listeners>

</ext:ToolbarButton>

<ext:ToolbarButton ID="btnSave" runat="server" Icon="Disk" Text="Save">

</Listeners>

</ext:ToolbarButton>

</Items>

</ext:Toolbar>

</TopBar>

<ext:Column DataIndex="ID" Header="ID" ColumnID="ID">

</ext:Column>

<ext:Column DataIndex="BIZ_NAME" Header="Biz Name" ColumnID="BIZ_NAME">

<ext:TextField ID="txtBizName" runat="server" />

</Editor>

</ext:Column>

</Columns>

</ColumnModel>

<ext:RowSelectionModel ID="RowSelectionModel1" runat="server" SingleSelect="true" />

</SelectionModel>

</ext:GridPanel>

//CS Code behind

public partial class BizList : System.Web.UI.Page

{

BizDataSet.BIZDataTable dtBiz = new BizDataSet.BIZDataTable();

BIZTableAdapter adapterBiz = new BIZTableAdapter();

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (!Ext.IsAjaxRequest)

{

Bind();

}

private void Bind()

{

try

{

adapterBiz.Fill(dtBiz);

Store1.DataSource = dtBiz;

Store1.DataBind();

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

string error = ex.Message;

}

protected void Store1_BeforeStoreChanged(object sender, Coolite.Ext.Web.BeforeStoreChangedEventArgs e)

{

Coolite.Ext.Web.ConfirmationList confirmationList = new Coolite.Ext.Web.ConfirmationList();

confirmationList = e.DataHandler.BuildConfirmationList("ID");

string json = e.DataHandler.JsonData;

StoreDataHandler dataHandler = new StoreDataHandler(json);

ChangeRecords<BizDataSet.BIZDataTable> data = dataHandler.ObjectData<BizDataSet.BIZDataTable>();

foreach (BizDataSet.BIZDataTable biz in data.Updated)

{

adapterBiz.Update(biz); //CANNOT UPDATED CHANGED DATA HERE!!!

}

foreach (BizDataSet.BIZDataTable biz in data.Created)

{

adapterBiz.Insert("");

}

eMail/Calendar

mmiocev — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 05:24:54 GMT

Hi - I'm hoping not to have to reinvent the wheel here. Does anyone have any good examples of email client (webmail) and calendar developed in coolite or extjs? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Real-world use of Coolite

danielg — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 00:56:26 GMT

I work for BMT Group and we have started applying the Coolite controls to one of the software products we're developing.

I'm interested in finding out names of other companies that use Coolite / ExtJS within their applications, and any comments they may have!

Many thanks,

Dan

Coolite support for Content Delivery Networks

r_honey — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:02:21 GMT

I hope I am posing a new challenge for the Coolite team.

As anyone would expect, ASP.NET web applications get bigger & slower as you use more built in services. With each new HttpModule & HttpHandler added to web.config, with each new assembly added to bin, and with each new such things, ASP.NET apps put to much of a load on an average server.

Now, I typically use DotNetNuke (DNN) for solution development. People who have used it would agree that it is bulky (maybe too bulky). For keeping the web-server optimized for dynamic content delivery, I recently purchased a subscription for Amazon AWS service. As people here might know, AWS is a content delivery network for offloading static content from your servers.

Now, Coolite enabled pages deliver too much of static content to the page (images, stylesheets, javascripts and what not). I was wondering if Coolite team can work in the direction of integration with Content Delivery Networks which is not possible right now. This would provide a significant boost to Coolite/ExtJs based applications.

I also have a suggestion which might help in implementing this. I believe, that such integration should NOT require any changes to any other part of the Coolite framework, except the ScriptManager class.

You can introduce a new property in that class e.g. ContentbasePath
I might use that property like:

[code]
<ext:ScriptManager runat="server" ContentBasePath="http://static.mydomain.com" />
[/code]

Then, all that the Coolite team needs to do are 2 things:
1) Change the urls generated by ScriptManager if this property is set, to be relative to this path.
2) Provide a folder containing static content that we should upload as it is to the root path of this property.

That should provide a significant boost to the application performance. Any thoughts from the Coolite team!!!

Question about performance vs ExtJs

cocci — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 02:39:37 GMT

Hello everyone!
I'm a newbie about coolite!
I wanna ask you about the performance between Coolite and ExtJs. I see that the page is requested every action.
My worry is that there's a massive exchange of data between client and server and it can become like AjaxcontrolToolkit, rathen than the very performing Extjs.
I hope you can understand my doubt.

Thanks for reply!

Version 1.0 vs. 0.8.2

Timothy — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:39:42 GMT

Hello Geoffrey and vladsch,

General question regarding the work being performed in tandem on version 1.0 and 0.8.2 in SVN. How are you currently handling bug fixes noticed in 0.8.2 against 1.0 and vice-versa? I know there is a major difference in the JavaScript backend since the introduction of ExtJS 3.0 and 2.2.3 I want to make sure that bugs being fixed in one version are being applied to the other.

Appreciate your input (no rush).

Cheers,
Timothy

SVN Change Log

Hello,

Would it be possible to get a change log for each commit to the SVN for 1.0 so we can expect what to test?

Cheers,
Timothy

Coolite Theme CSS Generator

JD — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 12:06:44 GMT

I was wondering if there is any software that would help create CSS Themes for Coolite / ExtJS. Tried searching but did not have much luck finding anything. The blue and gray themes are just not doing the trick and any tool that could help generate this would be of great help.

Webservice or HttpHandler? Which one do you prefer?

jchau — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 06:47:27 GMT

What do you prefer to use when retrieving data from a simple Ajax request? Webservice (.asmx) or HttpHandler (.ashx)? What are the practical differences between the two? There are Coolite examples using both so not sure which one is the preferred method...
