textinput bounds
I'm trying to popup a menu related to a textinput that is on a form. It was
working fine until I put in a scroll pane. Once I scroll it, the popup
appears lower.
I there a way to subtract the scrolled distance from the textinput's Y bound
?
Thanks
Bob

It is the line that characters appear to sit on when rendering text.

What's a "baseline"?

Thanks, that would work.

Tutorial/Demo code for charting

I have been going through the tutorial and demo code and it has been very helpful, however I didn't see any examples of charting in the tutorial. Are there any examples of charts with Pivot? It would greatly help. Thanks.

Sweet - glad you got it working.

I'm not sure (worth testing), but if you do, another option would be just to
make the @WTKX fields public.
Re: textinput bounds

You beat me to the email
I just got it:
int scrolldistance =
((ScrollPane)textInput.getParent().getParent()).getScrollTop();
Bounds ti_bounds = textInput.getBounds();
popup.open(textInput.getDisplay(), ti_bounds.x, ti_bounds.y+
ti_bounds.height + 45-scrolldistance);
"45" is my static "adjustment"
Perfect.
BTW, these textinputs are on a form that is generated by SOLR with XSLT.
All I have to do is call the URL and add a Form.Section to my Form that's
declared ahead-of-time. I created a custom SOLR search component that
generates a list of indexed fields and then an XSLT that wraps it in WTKX,
so anytime we change the schema of the index or another dynamic field is
added, the form adjusts automatically. To me, that's the real power of
PIVOT. Being able to build GUI components on the server and populated it
with data and simple adding it to a parent GUI container. Sweet stuff.
If I use JavaStart, do I have to sign the jars when using the @WTKX binding?

The scrolled distance is a property of the ScrollPane (getScrollTop()), so
you can get it, but I'm wondering if you can send some small sample code --
mapPointToAncestor() should have worked, so if you send a sample, I'll take
a look and see if there's an easier way...

I'm going to look into the viewport and scrollbar objects.

I tried mapping to display and also tried parent, parent/parent,
parent/parent/parent etc.
It's not linear so I can't "adjust" the x&y coordinates for the popup with
something like x+100 or x-150, etc.
Getting the bounds of the textinput and subtracting the scrolled distance
would do the trick. I just need to get that scrolled distance. Is that
even possible, or is that handled by the skin and out of reach from the
TextInput object?

I generally use the display, because window location (including your popup) is relative to the display.
Re: textinput bounds

Greg,
I tried the mapPointToAncestor() with the top window as the ancestor. It's
worse then getting the bounds of the textinput, adding the textintput
height, and then adjusting it a little more.
Should the ancestor be something else? I used the top window on the display
because that is the window that opens the popup.

How are you currently determining the position of the popup? I'd suggest using Component#mapPointToAncestor() if you are not already doing so. You can use this method to convert a point in your text input's coordinate space to the display's coordinate space.
Note that, when your popup is open, you may want to listen for scroll wheel events on the display and either close or reposition the popup - otherwise, it may not remain aligned with the text input.
