create Popup or external window

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have some code in wdDoInit() of View. Before view completely loads, I require to popup a dialog box or external window with a message.

Is this possible to create Popup or external window from the first view of the application, such that the popup appears first and then the rest of the view loads?

Presenty I do not get any popup even though I have done coding for the same and straight away the view appears.

Thanks

Anagha

Hi Anagha,

Create Start view, define context attribute "enabled" type "boolean", delete all UI elements from layout, place timedtrigger UI element, bind "enabled" property to "enabled" context attribute, define action handler for "onAction". Define plug "toMain". Put in wdDoInit:

wdContext.currentContextElement().setEnabled(true);

in onAction action handler:

	IWDWindowManager windowManager = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager();
	windowManager.createNonModalExternalWindow("http://www.google.com", "Google").show();
	wdContext.currentContextElement().setEnabled( false );
	wdThis.wdFirePlugToMain();

Embed Start view into your window and make it default, bind toMain plug with plug on your main view.

The only disadvantage is 1 sec of delay.

Hi Anagha,

First go to the Method tab of view and create two Event handlers (“Ok” and “Cancel”).

Then try this code inside wdDoInit() of view.

String dialog = "Do You Want to Continue? ";

IWDConfirmationDialog confDialog = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createConfirmationWindow(dialog,wdThis.wdGetAPI().getViewInfo().getViewController().findInEventHandlers("Ok"),"OK");

IWDEventHandlerInfo CancelEventInfo = wdThis.wdGetAPI().getViewInfo().getViewController().findInEventHandlers("Cancel");

confDialog.addChoice(CancelEventInfo,"Cancel");

confDialog.show();

I remember that a dialog box when opened in the init() stops further loading of the UI or it doesnot open at all due to javascript errors (NW2004). what Maksim says is right. I guess directly opening the dialog box wont work, though not recomended you may choose to open it in if(firstTime) of wdDoModify().

Guess it has to be solved with a round about method using event handlers of the dialog box and then firing to the main view from there using plugs.
