SplitLayout for Web Application

Hello Dennis, thank You for the fast Answer!
I'm afraid i cannot implement this behavior with dashboard view, since a fixed high layout with a horizontal splitter is requested by the customer. I think, i need to implement a custom view, unless a dashboard can be customized to use a horizontal splitter in a ASP.NET application.

Thank you for taking your time to extract this solution. We and other Support Center users highly appreciate it!

Hello Dennis,
i've fixed some bugs and attached the new version to this comment.
Best Regard
Sergej Derjabkin.

Thank you for the update, Sergej!

Hi,
Just a quick question: is it supposed to run in 12.1 or has the project to be migrated first?
regards
Martin

@Martin: The project above has references to 11.2. So, you will first have to upgrade it to 12.1 using the upgrade notes. I have not tested it with 12.1, though.

Love the program, and really want to use it in my application, but hitting a quirk. Add a number of items in the listview (>10) and then click on them randomly. For some reason the listview and detail view go out of sync- the item selected in Listview is no longer displayed on the detailview, but another item is. I am trying to find the cause, but am just running into a brick wall.
Anybody tried this who may have a fix/solution or hint on what I should look at. I monitor the FocusedRowGridEditor, FocusedObject and the RocusedRowIndex seems to be fine???
Any help would be appreciated

Seems like the problem arrises, because the sorting in the listview and in the collectionsource might differ. Replacing "return this.CollectionSource.List[this.Grid.FocusedRowIndex];" with "return this.Grid.GetRow(this.Grid.FocusedRowIndex);" solved the problem for me. But i don ́t know if this is the right way to go…

Thanks - that fixed the sync problem for me too. Now I have one more issue… I have a filter on the listview, when I select a different filter the SelectedObjectChanged event is not fired. (Am I right that this should fire?) How would I get this event to fire?

@Ralf:
Does it fire if you do not use the split layout functionality on the Web?
In any event, if you describe what you would like to achieve in the end, it is possible that we will be able to find an alternative solution for you. I also think that this issue deserves a separate thread in order not to mix multiple problems here.

Hi Dennis,
Thanks for your quick response - I will try put together a sample app of what I am trying to achieve - Basically I am 95% there, only problem I have now is that if the user selects a different filter on the listview, the detail view is not cleared/redrawn. I also dont see the SelectedObjectChanged event firing. Think this will be more apparent in the sample app. Agree that we should start a seperate thread for this. I will only get time for the sample this weekend though.

Thank you for the update. I will wait for your sample project. Would you please also answer my first question about whether or not this is related to the split layout functionality on the Web?

Yes it is related to the split layout functionality. If I don't do the split layout everything seems to be fine.

Thank you for the update. That is why I asked you about this. This means that this problem is very likely related to the split layout implementation and not to the default XAF functionality. Since the former is unsupported, I am afraid we will not be able to research it ourselves, as it is quite a complex task that equals to implementing the same functionality in the framework by default. Due to the limited resources, this work should be only done as part of a corresponding suggestion when it is planned for a specific release. Thank you for your understanding.

Hello,
I've also found this bug. It's since last week on my Todo list. :) I will try to fix it tomorrow and Post the update here.
Best regards,
Sergej Derjabkin

Sergey, it is probably worth it to you and the rest of the community to make your solution part of the eXpand Framework: http://www.expandframework.com/
This way, you will receive more feedback and eventually get a higher quality product. At once, the community will get an easy to use reusable module. Please send an email to contributors@expandframework.com for more details.

Hello,
I've attached the fix. Also I have fixed an issue regarding sorted listviews. I've contacted Apostolis Bekiaris - he will integrate the solution into the eXpand Framework.
Best regards,
Sergej Derjabkin.

Thank you for the update, Sergej!

Thank you Sergej - This now works perfectly in my solution as well. Changing filters etc is all resolved. Awesome piece of work.
Dennis no need to send a sample project anymore - all my issues are resolved so not going to waste your valuable time.
Exacly what I experienced here - with Dennis and Sergej is why I tell everybody to switch to the best product solution out ther - it has the best components, best support and the most awsome contributors in the community.
Thanks gusy - you're the best!

appologies for all my spelling mistakes in the above - I was just too excited!
ther = there, gusy = Guys

Guys, you may consider empowering the current solution with a functionality discussed at Web SplitLayout: Open Detailview on DblClick. JFYI.

Sergej thanks for your contribution, it is embedded in eXpand from v12.1.5.15 To overcome the click problem i just disable the ListViewShowObject for the current view
<ListView Id="SecuritySystemUser_ListView" MasterDetailMode="ListViewAndDetailView">
  <HiddenActions>
    <ActionLink ActionId="ListViewShowObject" IsNewNode="True" />
  </HiddenActions>
</ListView>

How do you get this solution to work? I downloaded the WebSplitLayout.zip file, extracted it, converted the solution using the conversion tool, and opened the .sln, the solution loads in Visual Studio, but I get a pop-up error saying: "One or more projects in the solution were not loaded correctly. Please see the Output Window for details."
I can't access the web application project it shows as unavailable: WebSplitLayout.Web (unavailable)
Furthermore if I try to build the solution to see the changes in the model designers I get this error:
'WebSplitLayout.Module.Web.FocusedRowGridEditor.GetSelectedObjectsCore()': no suitable method found to override     …\WebSplitLayout\WebSplitLayout.Module.Web\Editors\FocusedRowGridEditor.cs     87     53     WebSplitLayout.Module.Web"
I think this solution is exactly what I need, I'm using XAF web application with the Vertical navigation bar, when I load a business object from the navigation, I'd like that instead of showing the default listView Template, to have a split screen with a collapsible panel to the right similar to the panel used in the vertical navigation bar, in this right panel I'd have the default listView, and in the main area to display the default DetailView.
Also I need to add some search and filtering functionality for the list view, as a separate control (the grid already has it) on the right panel…
Would this be the best approach or should I design a custom web form instead?

Forgot to mention, the error in the Output Window is:
"…\WebSplitLayout\WebSplitLayout.Web\WebSplitLayout.Web.csproj : error : The Web Application Project WebSplitLayout.Web is configured to use IIS. To access local IIS Web sites, you must install the following IIS components:
      IIS 6 Metabase and IIS 6 Configuration Compatibility
In addition, you must run Visual Studio in the context of an administrator account.
For more information, press F1."
I'm running windows Vista. I do have IIS running.
