Hi Mark,

please note that WJ-7397 has been fixed in our latest beta build (1.2.19).

Can you please retry using the changes for web.config that Luca has suggested in his previous answer.

Thanks in advance !

Best regards

Alex,

point 2 is logged as WJ-7408 and should be fixed in 1.2.19 that has just been uploaded.

Can you please verify ?

TIA
Frank

We´re happy to announce a new build (1.2.19). It includes the following fixes and additions:

Luca,

two minor observations:

1. you said that the MenuItem-derived class will show in the designer. However, I cannot see that. I mean the designer shows only menuitems, it does not make a distinction on what kind of items they are, like the Toolbar designer where one can set the Toolbutton style (Pushbutton, Dropdown etc). Unless I’m missing something.
2. Playing with the Menubar designer to check if I could see the MenuLabel, I noticed that if I delete an item (select it and press the red x) the item does not disappear from the menubar. And it is not only a refresh matter in the main designer window: the next time you open the menubar designer, the item you have deleted is there.

Hi Luca,

first of all – Wow, that’s the quickest support I ever got !

I’m not using any WebForms or aspx-pages but I think basically it should show me how to handle the proposal so let’s give it a try.

Thank you very much

Corvin

hehe, you got me online right at the time.

We have and AspNetPanel control in Wisej, but that’s for including an ASP.NET/MVC page as a child panel in a Wisej container.

The WisejPanel ASP.NET/MCV control is not developed yet and we still need to identify use cases. If you could give me either a small sample app with a placeholder for where you’d like to use a Wisej component it would help. Or a description of the ASP.NET/MVC page that needs to use a Wisej component, what kind of component and how you’d like to use it would also help.

These are the issues/problems:

• ASP.NET/MVC by default reload the page on any active interaction (a click, item selection, etc.) This kind of HTML postback doesn’t work well with Wisej since it would reload everything on each postback. So that WisejPanel in ASP.NET will be an ajax panel.
• When you use an UpdatePanel (or any third party ajax panel) in ASP.NET/MVC, all the ASP.NET controls that are not inside the panel are not reloaded on the callback and are not available to the server code. Wisej code, therefore, cannot reference those controls.

Additionally, Wisej also exposes a full javascript object model in the window.App namespace reflecting all the visual objects in the wisej application. So the ASP.NET page could access the components from the client.

Anyway, more info would help us.

Best,

Luca

Absolutely. Add  this to the config:

  config.appearance = "menulabel";

Then add a file named my-menu.mixin.theme under /Themes:

{
 "appearances": {
   "menulabel": {
     "inherit": "menu/item",
     "states": {
       "default": {
           "styles": {
             "transform": "rotateZ(15deg)"
           },
           "properties": {
             "textColor": "red",
             "icon": "icon-settings"
           }
         }
      }
    }
  }
}

The mixin theme will add the new appearance to any theme as it’s loaded in the app. Otherwise you can add the new appearance directly in any theme file.

Best,

Luca

Luca, this is great! Not only it works, but it gives an idea of the flexibility of the system. Is it also possible to customize the appearance of this MenuLabel derived class from a theme? This is great stuff!

Alex

Thanks Alex !

I have logged WJ-7406 for that problem.

Tiago,

I’m pretty sure I always have VS closed when applying the updates to wisej (but of course I could be wrong) . I’m leaning more towards VS “glitch”. Just taking a look now I have 5 instances of each wisej control in my toolbox.

Hi Corvin,

A Wisej page would take over the browser. Would an ASP.NET example with an aspx page containing a button that shows a Wisej form and when the form is closed updates the ASP.NET page work for you?

Best,

Luca

Dear Luca,

Thank you for your answers.

Forget the cascading, I just wanted to know if it is there and I can’t see it, just out of curiosity. I don’t think it’s a useful view anyway.

Alex

Dear Luca,

From what I see in the qooxdoo page you pointed out, the only thing missing compared to the picture I sent you is the “header” of each submenu (which is a ToolStripLabel, a non-clickable item and I was showing it in bold font). If you can make also this, it would be great, I find it very useful to have all choices in one dropdown instead of creating popup submenus.

But I can understand the whole thing won’t be ready before release.

Best,

Alex

Hi Luca,

I found that post too. I also found some other posts that point in the same direction. After the repair of VS2015 if the problem remains I’ll try those steps  (repair is taking around 6/7 hours).

Forcing VS to close when installing may help to prevent this problem.
