Dec 27 15:54:29 <binni> after destroying the selected component in a picker, how do I also deselect it in the picker?
Dec 27 15:56:37 <binni> or just, with a picker, how do I set it to its default state (have none of its components selected)?
Dec 27 15:56:59 <katratxo> binni: setSelected(null) ?
Dec 27 16:01:32 <binni> katratxo, no, doesn't seem to work
Dec 27 16:06:44 <fxspec06_> why do you need to do that?
Dec 27 16:07:54 <fxspec06_> i think picker has a selection object inside it, this.$.picker.$.selection, i forget the properties of that tho. looking to see what i got
Dec 27 16:08:41 <binni> well I have a picker and a button labeld "remove" and it removes a database on the server side and should also remove its reference (component) in the picker
Dec 27 16:08:42 <fxspec06_> oh, it's the active
Dec 27 16:09:13 <fxspec06_> this.$.picker.getActive().setActive(false); ..... ?
Dec 27 16:09:37 <fxspec06_> er that doesn't look right. but there is a property for every object in the picker called 'active' and it's a boo,
Dec 27 16:09:38 <fxspec06_> bool*
Dec 27 16:13:39 <binni> Uncaught TypeError: Object onyx.Picker has no method 'getActive'
Dec 27 16:14:38 <binni> maybe I could do getSelected and change its active property .active = false
Dec 27 16:14:53 <fxspec06_> getSelected().setActive(false)
Dec 27 16:15:20 <fxspec06_> generally you should use.setPublishedproperty() method if it exists
Dec 27 16:19:50 <binni> hmm, this.$.dbs.getSelected().setActive(false); doesn't seem to work, also tried doing this.$.dbs.render(); after it and on further inspection the "active" property of the component was already set to false.
Dec 27 16:26:03 <fxspec06_> x = this.$.dbs; x.getSelected().removeClass("selected"); x.setSelected(null); x.render(); // ?
Dec 27 16:26:06 <fxspec06_> possibly
Dec 27 16:36:34 <fxspec06_> i still can't figure out why / how reminicence of pickers remain on the screen sometimes, and how to get rid of them.. // dynamically generated pickers not being fully rendered and then parent being destroyed mid-render
Dec 27 17:37:06 <binni> fxspec06, nothing seemed to work so I just ended up removing/destroying the whole picker and recreating it.
Dec 27 17:40:25 <fxspec06> ha, that would work
Dec 27 17:40:33 <fxspec06> not the most elegant
Dec 27 17:42:47 <ka6sox> fxspec06, I have a saying....UBE
Dec 27 17:49:07 <fxspec06> what's that
Dec 27 17:50:13 <ka6sox> Ugly, but Effective
