[Former Member]

Hi,

I have created a popup window. How to make it non modal?

my code goes like this.....

IWDWindowInfo windowInfo =(IWDWindowInfo) wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("Popup");

IWDWindow window = wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getWindowManager().createWindow(windowInfo, true);

wdContext.currentContextElement().setWindowInstance(window);

window.setWindowPosition(WDWindowPos.CENTER);

window.open();

Pls help

Hi Valery,

Thanks a lot for this correction. But, I have noticed whatever boolean value I give, it always opens up a new modal WD window. And except for the createExternalWindow() I have never been able to open a new browser window. Can you please verify this.

Best Regards,

Nibu.

Oops!

You are right -- first method always create modal pop-over window, second one (createExternalWindow) creates separate browser window.

Hi Sujesh,

<b>IWDWindow window = wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getWindowManager().createWindow(windowInfo, true);</b>

The second parameter you specify is supposed to determine whether it is modal or not.

Not exactly correct answer.

If you set modal to true you will create WD specific window in same browser window (aka pop-over)

If you set modal to false you will create new browser window.

It is not possible to create modal browser window (AFAIK supported by IE only).

Hi Sujesh,

As far as I know this functinality hasn't been implemented atleast till SP9. Though you have a boolean variable for specifying whether the window created is modal or not, it will always create a <b>modal</b> window.
