Using Sencha Architect to Create Grafted Tree

Clint Harris posted How To Use ExtJS 4 TreePanels with Both Static Data and Model Stores. He has a great explanation of how to "graft" branches onto an ExtJS TreeView. In his example he is creating an Admin tree form that gives him access to Settings and Users.

I recreated his project using Sencha Architect 2.

The trickiest part was getting the tree to load the data correctly. I used the onLaunch function of the controller to get access to the TreeStores in order to call the userStore.setRootNode() and then to append the userStore to the settingsTreeStore.

Notice how I am using this.getUserTreeStoreStore() and this.getSettingTreeStoreStore(). Yes, I had to use "StoreStore" because I named my stores UserTreeStore and SettingTreeStore, then the Controller tacks on the second "Store" when it creates the get function.

Ext.define('GraftedTreeApp.controller.TreePanelController', {
 extend: 'Ext.app.Controller',

 models: ['UserModel'],
 stores: [
 'SettingTreeStore',
 'UserTreeStore'
 ],

 onLaunch: function() {
  var userStore = this.getUserTreeStoreStore();
  userStore.setRootNode({
   text: 'Users',
   leaf: false,
   expanded: false
 });

  // Graft our userTreeStore into the settingsTreeStore. Note that the call
  // to .expand() is what triggers the userTreeStore to load its data.
  var settingsTreeStore = this.getSettingTreeStoreStore();
  settingsTreeStore.getRootNode().appendChild(userStore.getRootNode()).expand();
 }

});


Pretty much everything else was setting properties in the Sencha Architect UI. The project files are here.

NOTE: There is a known bug in this solution, when you collapse and expand the User node it loads more User data, after which the User node cannot be collapsed.

Json for jqGrid from ASP.Net MVC

jqGrid takes a specific format for its json (taken from jqGrid documentation): [js]{ total: "xxx",page: "yyy", records: "zzz", rows : [ {id:"1", cell:["cell11", "cell12", "cell13"]}, {id:"2", cell:["cell21", "cell22", "cell23"]}, ... ]}[/js] The tags mean the following: total - Total number of Pages. page - Current page Index. records - Total number of records in the rows group. rows - An array with the data plus an identifier. id - The unique row identifier, needs to be an int from what I have found. cell - An array of the data for the grid. The ASP.Net MVC framework has the JsonResult response type which we can use to populate the jqGrid. As an example I created a Person model and a method to return some data: [csharp] public class Person { public int ID { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public DateTime Birthday { get; set; } } public I

Remote Controlled RoboTank

This is my version of the ever popular to build RoboTank. It uses an Arduino Mega 2560 with the AdaFruit motor shield and an XBee S1 to communicate to the DFRobot Gamepad. The sketch for the RoboTank makes use of the AFMotor.h to drive the motors and includes a serial parser to read and process the commands coming from the Gamepad.

FileSystemWatcher With the BlockingCollection

While working with the FileSystemWatcher I found that if too many files were created the built in buffer will overflowed and files will be skipped.  After much research I found out about the Producer-Consumer Problem .  Then I found that .Net 4 has the BlockingCollection which helps solve the issue.  But how to use it with the FileSystemWatcher? On StackOverflow I found  Making PLINQ and BlockingCollection work together .  I'm not so interested in the PLINQ issue but this is a great example of using The BlockingCollection with FileSystemWatcher. [csharp] using System; using System.Collections.Concurrent; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; using System.Linq; using System.Threading; namespace ConsoleApplication4 {     public class Program     {         private const string Folder = "C:\\Temp\\InputData";         static void Main(string[] args) {             var cts = new CancellationTokenSource();             foreach (var obj in Input(cts.Token))
