Grouping columns and rows in Excel and Open Office Calc

In this tutorial we will talk about Grouping Columns and Rows in MS EXCEL and Open Office Calc.

Grouping allows you to group a se of rows or columns which you can expand or hide for easy readability. According to me this is really helpful and useful for handling a large spreadsheets where you want to see your data in organized manner.  

To do This below are the steps-

Step 1- Select the cells you want to be able to group, first you have to select the row or Column you want to group or on which you want to applying grouping.  

Step 2- Go to Data → Group and Outline→Group or Press F+12. After this you will see a pop-up on your screen on which there will be 2 options (1. Row and 2. Column) Select any one of the option which you want to Group. In the below example I want to Group the Column C and D to Group both of them, I will select Column C and D, Go to Data and select Group and outline and then select group (for newer version Go to Data-->Group-->Group). And then I select Column as I already mentioned that I am grouping Column C and D.  

See the screen shot below-  

  Step 3- Now You can clearly see the bar which is indicating the grouped data.....

Incase we are using RadioButton inside a Repeater, one common problem which we face is that we are not able to select single RadioButton, i.e. If we select one RadioButton, and then click on the other the other also gets selected without unselecting the first one. Even the GroupName property of the RadioButton dosen't works for this.

 The solution I got is: 1. Set the AutoPostBack property of the RadioButton to "true".
2. Make OnCheckedChanged event for the RadioButton. Example:

1. <asp:RadioButton ID="rbtnSelectEmp" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true"
3. OnCheckedChanged="rbtnSelectEmp_OnCheckedChanged" />

3. Inside OnCheckedChanged event write the following code:

1. protected void rbtnSelectEmp_OnCheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
2. {
3. foreach (RepeaterItem item in rptEmployee.Items)
4. {
5. RadioButton rbtn = (RadioButton)item.FindControl("rbtnSelectEmp");

Cool Widgets in OpenERP

Widgets are the GUI elements that can perform some controlling tasks. In OpenERP, we can see a few of widgets that have significance in the views like statuses of the any process, seeing states of an object, or getting lists out of huge data, or splitting data.
Some interesting widgets I came across are:
selection: this widget adds a drop down list when we have many2one field, for example displaying only journal name where a journal_id is a many2one field.

 

1. <field name="journal_id" widget="selection"/>

progressbar: this widget is used to show the progress of a task in percentage, so we add a float field in the model and then use in the view.

 

1. 'progress': fields.float('Progress', readonly=True, help='Shows you the progress made today on the reconciliation process')

 

1. <field name="progress" widget="progressbar" colspan="4"/>

How to detect tapped word in UItextview

We might face a situation when we need to add action on tapping a particular word from a string on the iPhone screen like a link or a hashtag etc. Now though we can easily add a UITapGestureRecognizer on a UITextView or UILabel, finding the exact tapped word is tricky. Here is how to do this (using UITextView and UILongPressGestureRecognizer) :

 i) Add gesture recognizer to text view

UILongPressGestureRecognizer *longPress = [[UILongPressGestureRecognizer alloc]initWithTarget:self action:@selector(longPressResponse:)];
    [textViewDescription addGestureRecognizer:longPress];

   ii) Handle gesture recognizer

- (void)longPressResponse:(UILongPressGestureRecognizer *)recognizer {
    if (recognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan) {
        CGPoint location = [recognizer locationInView:textViewDescription];
        NSString *tappedWord = [self wordAtPosition:CGPointMake(location.x, location.y)];

Different Techniques Used for 3D Modeling

The concept of 3D modeling is extensively used nowadays in movies, videogames, architecture, publishing, geology, medical science etc. 3D modeling in simple words can be described as creation of a 3D image of an object using specialized software, and the process involves development of a mathematical representation of an object in three dimensions.

If you want to become a 3D artist, it’s paramount for you to become familiar with the term polygon mesh, which is a collection of vertices, edges and faces. A wide range of 3D graphics software packages is available in tech market to create polygon meshes for constructing 3D models. Maya, 3Ds Max, Lightwave, Blender and Milkshape 3D are some popular 3D modeling software artists can use for creation of 3D models. 3D models are used in movies and games to enhance engagement and interaction, thereby making them enthralling. In this blog, I am shedding light on five top techniques used for creating 3D models.

• Primitive Modeling: Primitive modeling involves use of geometric shapes like cylinders, cones, cubes and spheres for the purpose of creating 3D models. This technique is best used in architecture for creating 3D images of furniture, building etc. Artists should not try using it for organic models or human 3D models. Max, Maya and 3DS are some software you can use for primitive modeling as they offer you tools changing shapes of an image.

 

• Polygonal Modeling: This technique involves use of triangles, cubes, hexagons and other shapes. Polygonal modeling is...

All You Need to Know about iOS Development

iOS, a mobile operating system, has become very popular among app developers due to skyrocketing rise in the numbers of people using iOS devices - iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple TV. Most clients want to join the bandwagon of iOS development as Apple acquires a big chunk of market shares in the mobile platform. For developers, there are many online forums available, where they can learn about iOS development. In this article, I am going to shed light on various platforms available for iOS development and what impact it has on the technology world. Objective-C is the programming language used for iPhone app development, though a modern programming language, called Swift, is now also available to make your life as a developer much easier.

iOS Development Cycle

There are many factors a client needs to take into consideration before starting the project of an iPhone app development. First, try finding answers to a set of questions, like what your app aims at, why people would embrace it, what all features must be there to swoon people, etc. Such a practice removes a lot of hurdles that crop up in coding phase. A plethora of options are available to decide the kind of iOS app you want to develop, such as entertainment, health care, travel, lifestyle, fun & games, etc. As an iOS developer you need to use Xcode, an integrated development environment (IDE) for iOS software. Once you download Xcode, you get a suite of software development tools, like IDE, simulators, a gamut of frameworks etc, to build apps for iOS devices.

UI for iOS app

User interface of a mobile application has to be very attractive to encourage user engagement. UIKit, Core Graphics(Quartz 2D), Core Animation, Core Image and OpenGL ES are some of iOS’s many drawing systems used for designing a beautiful UI. It’s also important to understand how Model, View, Controller (MVC) works with Xcode, as it paves the way for faster development of iOS apps with user interfaces. Apple has already made available numerous APIs to access app extensions, Photos, Healthkits, Touch ID and many more to empower your iOS app with integration of advanced features.

IOS app Outsourcing

Choosing right company for iOS app development project is the matter of paramount importance for any client to ensure the app exactly delivers what it was intended for in the very beginning. Clients can also outsource their iOS development projects as it not only saves a lot of cost for them, but ensures development of immaculate apps as well since the work is taken by developers who have a great passion for mobile apps development. Many online project and task management tools are a great resource for clients to hire freelance iOS app developers, ensuring timely completion of projects without any compromise with quality. Along with that various resources for iOS developers are also available in the form of iOS developer forum that help to learn and resolve app development queries and as a result finest product is delivered from the development end.
