1. Non-modal popup or 2.minimize button on titlebar of popup

Hi All,
Firstly, is it now possible to open non-modal pop-ups ( as many pop-ups after executing an action method :( ) , or has anyone come across this found a work-around for this ?
currently, I am opening a modal dialog itself. But when I click the minimize ( since minimize, maximize and close buttons are activated in the title bar ), the popup minimizes and maximises immediately. This is now raised as a bug and I need to find a solution for this.
Would much appreciate help,comments or views on this ?

ok i got what you mean but its an option for ver1.0 not version 2.0 of the same plugin..thanks.Well, this is an option in the Apex framework for dynamic actions. In Apex 4.2, the options for "Event Scope" are Static, Dynamic and Once.
In your case, you can set it to live.

JDialog Non Modal....Default button remains

I've created a non modal JDialog
By doing the following
1. Creating an object of JOptionPane(message, JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE)
2. Adding the JOptionPane object to the ContentPane
3. Creating a button
4. Adding button("End Application") to ContentPane
5. Adding listeners to window and button
The result is a dialog
Message
ICON "OK" Button...............................NOT REQUIRED
"End Application" Button
I don't require the "OK" Button. Is there a way of removing this button. I need the dialog box to be modal so can't use showMessageDialog, rename "Ok" button to "End Application" etc.
Should I be taking a different approach ie Not adding JOptionPane to JDialog??
If the above isn't possible. Do you know where I can find the default error gif on error dialog boxes?
Kind regards,
Jean

Get the error icon with UIMananger.getIcon("OptionPane.errorIcon"). It might throw exceptions while painting because it's expecting to be painting in a JOptionPane. Just catch and ignore the exceptions and it will paint alright.

Showing non-modal popup in overlay of browser.xul - on Windows

Hi. I've got a custom Firefox add-on in plain Javascript. It to overlays Firefox's browser.xul (via chrome.manifest) by an XUL file, where I would like to show a non-modal popup (or some kind of non-intrusive notification).
I've tried following three options from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Code_snippets/Alerts_and_Notifications:
1.
Components.classes['@mozilla.org/alerts-service;1'].
getService(Components.interfaces.nsIAlertsService).
showAlertNotification(null, 'Some title', 'Some message', false, '', null);
2.
var win = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/embedcomp/window-watcher;1'].
getService(Components.interfaces.nsIWindowWatcher).
openWindow(null, 'chrome://global/content/alerts/alert.xul',
'_blank', 'chrome,titlebar=no,popup=yes', null);
win.arguments = [null, 'Some title', 'Some message', false, ''];
3.
var message = 'Another pop-up blocked';
var nb = gBrowser.getNotificationBox();
var n = nb.getNotificationWithValue('popup-blocked');
if(n) {
n.label = message;
} else {
var buttons = [{
label: 'Button',
accessKey: 'B',
popup: 'blockedPopupOptions',
callback: null
Neither of them works on Windows. The first two work on Linux (Fedora 20 x64). Neither of them generates any error either.
Please, suggest how/where to do that, or how to 'schedule it' (as an even handler to a system event, I suppose) from my overlay of browser.xul.

I think you would have a better chance of getting comments from experienced add-on developers on one of these sites:

ADF Faces: non-modal popup windows

Hi,
when using the dialog functionality on commandXXX components the dialog always opens in a modal mode. My requirements are to let the user open as many popups as someone likes from the same page.
Is it possible to achieve this behaviour without manual "javascript hackery"?
Any hints are greatly appriciated.
Regards,
Andreas.

Hi all,
I still have the requirement to open a popup in non-modal mode. Has anyone an example how to do that? The actionListener method on my command button has to be executed of course...
Thanks in advance,
Andreas

Non Modal Window Popup BSP View

Hi,
I have a requirement to launch a pop up window which will allow the user to access the original screen from which the pop up was launched (i.e. a non modal window). The pop up window contains a calculator with the intention being that the user would be able to view and copy data displayed on the original screen into the fields of the calculator.
I have created the calculator as a form view within a BSP component. All of the fields on the form view have been configured using the configuration tab. I have successfully created a modal pop up using the following on the buttons click event:
comp_controller->window_manager->create_popup( ).
However, this does not meet my requirement because the form view is displayed in a modal window. I have also attempted to load the pop up using javascript however the view does not initialise correctly when it is loaded which causes a null reference error.
Can anyone please provide any advice or assistance related to creating a non-modal window for a configured form view within a BSP component? Many of the examples I have found online are related to WebDynPro applications and html pages with flow logic rather than configured views with a controller class.
Thank you.

why are you using the factory method, instead you can use the

     popup type ref to if_wd_window,

Popup window - Non modal

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 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.

Nibu.

Get the row of a department in a popup using a radio button

I have a use case. A page will be displayed with a button. User will click on that button, and then a popup will be displayed showing the table of departments. User will select the desired radio button. After that, the popup will close and the list of employees should get displayed in the page.
I have written a method in the valuechangeevent property of the radio button (autosubmit is also set as true), but still I am not able to get the current row. I actually need the value of departmentid.
Can anyone guide me?
    public void onClickRadio(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
        // Add event code here...
        System.out.println("onClickRadio Begins");
        hidePopup("p1");
        DCBindingContainer bc =
            (DCBindingContainer)BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
        DCIteratorBinding iter =
            bc.findIteratorBinding("DepartmentsView1Iterator");
        Row row = iter.getCurrentRow();
        Number departmentId = (Number)row.getAttribute("DepartmentId");
        System.out.println("departmentId: " + departmentId);
        OperationBinding method =
            (OperationBinding)bc.get("displayEmployeeTable");
        method.getParamsMap().put("departmentId", departmentId);
        method.execute();
        AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(empTable);
        System.out.println("onClickRadio Ends");
    }JDev 11.1.1.6

This is the code of the popup.
        <af:popup id="p1" contentDelivery="lazyUncached">
          <af:dialog id="d2" type="none">
            <af:table value="#{bindings.DepartmentsView1.collectionModel}"

                         headerText="#{bindings.DepartmentsView1.hints.DepartmentId.label}"
                         id="c2">
                <af:outputText value="#{row.DepartmentId}" id="ot2">
                  <af:convertNumber groupingUsed="false"
                                    pattern="#{bindings.DepartmentsView1.hints.DepartmentId.format}"/>

            </af:table>
          </af:dialog>
        </af:popup>I think that when I select the radio button, the value might be getting true of the column, but this isn't setting the current row.
Also in the log I am getting these messages:
<SimpleSelectBooleanRadioRenderer> <renderGroupAttribute> The selectBooleanRadio component's group attribute is null. It must be set to a non-null value for the selectBooleanRadio component to function properly. The selectBooleanRadio component is meant to be used with other selectBooleanRadio components with the same group value.

Feature request: make the "transform" dialogs non-modal

Currently, the transformation dialogs accessible at Object>Transform are modal. I'm talking about "Move…", "Rotate…", "Reflect…", and so forth. These dialogs, when open, lock the user out of any interaction with the artboard other than the "preview" button, until the dialog is closed.
Even more problematically, they lock the scroll and zoom factor of the current user view, so that there's no way to inspect how a precise numeric adjustment affects a part of the layout outside the current window (or within the current window but very small inside it) without committing the change, inspecting it, and then later undoing if necessary. This creates cycles of tedious user adjustments (especially on small monitors) that really should be possible in one user step, by toggling the preview button on and off, and zooming/scrolling.
This is contrary to most modern UI design principles, which suggest avoiding modes unless they are truly and meaningfully necessary. I don't think this is one of those cases. Photoshop made dialogs for adjustment layers non-modal with CS4, and while there are issues with the newer interface (see John Nack's Configurator workaround), I think it's a win overall. Illustrator needs to catch up in this regard. I realize there is some pretty serious refactoring involved to do this, but it has to be do-able.
In the words of Larry Tesler's immortal Subaru license plate: "NO MODES"!

...make the "transform" dialogs non-modal...
What, and bring Illustrator out of the 1980s?! Are you mad, man?
Just so you know you're not alone; I've been complaining about AI's archaic dependency upon modal dialogs for many years.
...I'm fully aware of the Transform panel...observing that there's another way to do it...doesn't really address any of my points here...
But it's not "another way to do it," because the functionality is not the same. The modal dialogs include crucial functionality that cannot be done in the Transform palette. For example, moving something in terms of distance and direction (diagonally), instead of merely by lame X and Y factors. Or transforming about an off-object center of transformation, rather than merely by the 9-point proxy.
...the "preview" isn't updated on keyboard entry, and the "preview" checkbox need to be manually toggled on and off...
But the preview does refresh (and does not have to be toggled) in response to keyboard entry if that keyboard entry is by the arrow keys. For example: Select something, doubleClick the Scale tool, click your cursor in the Uniform value field, and tap the up/down arrow keys (or press and hold them). The value will increment and the preview will update with each key tap. (Be sure to teach that to your students.)
That does not, of course, negate the complaint, but it does ameleorate it somewhat. The increments are preset; there are no preference settings for them. (Don't even get me started on preferences that should be doc-specific settings, and vice-versa).
Nor does the valid point that problematic dialogs abound beyond just those associated with the transform tools, but I do agree with it. For just one of many examples, it's nothing short of idiotic that the Scale fields of Transform Each do not have a uniform scaling lock, and that only percentage fields are provided and no explicit dimension fields. Illustrator is quite saturated with such inconsistencies and half-baked implementations.
But...you're often arguing with the emotionally attached Illustrator devoted here. So I wouldn't recommend holding your breath. It would probably be more effective teaching Illustrator's shortcomings to your beginning students. Probably one of the easiest ways to explain the problem of modal dialogs is to point out that you can't change the current selection with the dialog open.

Change a modal JDialog to non-modal JDialog

I created a modal JDialog initially, for some result i need change it to a non-modal JDialog, is there any set modal command can do it??

Nope.
The reason is because of program flow:
System.out.println("first line");
JDialog dialog = new JDialog(modal);
dialog.setVisible(true); // blocks this flow if and only if modal is true
System.out.println("second line");
Try putting a button in the dialog which prints out "button pressed".
If you press the button each time before closing the dialog you will get:
when modal is true:
first line
button presed
second line
when modal is false:
first line
second line
button prese

Enabling non-modal JDialog

I have created a JDialog which is non-modal. This dialog has lot of controls viz. buttons, combo box etc. This dialog is launched on clicking a button placed on panel. Surprisingly, when the dialog is launched, all components are disabled. Is there any way I can make these enabled? There is no line of code which has been done to change the behaviour of these components. They work fine if I make the dialog modal. Please advice.

Thanks.
The constructor for creating the dialog is pasted as below:
public AbstractDialog(Frame owner, String title, boolean isModal) {
          super(owner, title, isModal);
          JRootPane rootPane = getRootPane();
          Action escapeKeyAction = new AbstractAction() {
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
     AbstractDialog.this.dispose();
          rootPane.registerKeyboardAction( escapeKeyAction,
KeyStroke.getKeyStroke( KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE, 0 ),
JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT );
          UFSAFocusTraversalPolicy obj = new UFSAFocusTraversalPolicy ();
          //obj.setImplicitDownCycleTraversal(false);
          this.setFocusTraversalPolicy(obj);
          this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JDialog.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);
     this.setFocusCycleRoot(true);
     this.addWindowListener(windowAdapter);
The isModal passed is false.

Non-modal JDialog hides its JFrame "owner"

I'm writing my first significant swing application. It has a JFrame that launches a JDialog. When constructing the JDialog, I have the JFrame as the owner and set it to be non-modal. The dialog is indeed non-modal, since it allows me to click on the JFrame and run it. However, if the two windows overlap, the JDialog is always on top, covering the JFrame, even if the JFrame has focus. This can make it difficult to effectively work with the JFrame while the JDialog is on the screen.
There must be a simple solution to this, but I haven't discovered it yet. Any ideas?

Thank you so much for your reply. I just confirmed that passing null to the JDialog does indeed allow the JFrame to overlay it. However, now if I minimize the JFrame, the JDialog stays up. I'd prefer that it go disappear with the JFrame. Is there a way to "have it both ways"? That is, Is there a way to make the JDialog go away when the JFrame is minimized, but still make it possible for the JFrame to overlay the JDialog?
Thanks again for the original reply.
TIA on this one, too!

Non modal JDialog

Hi All,
I want a non modal JDialog which is used to show the message to the user that it is searching for the records, when a search is performed and records are retrieved from the database. When the search is going on user might hit cancel on the JDialog to cancel the search. My problem is, the cancel button on the Search dialog is not catching the event and user is not able to select the cancel option on the dialog.
Here is my code :
class SearchWindow extends JDialog {
private JPanel btnPanel;
private JLabel lblSearch;
private JButton btnCancel;
* Constructor
public SearchWindow() {
super((Frame)null, false);
setTitle("Searching Shipment Legs");
cancelled = false;
addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent evt) {
close();
Container contentPane = getContentPane();
contentPane.setLayout(null);
addButtons();
pack();
Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
setSize(new Dimension(300, 100));
setSize(300,100);
setLocation((screenSize.width-700)/2,(screenSize.height-450)/2);
private void addButtons() {
btnPanel = new JPanel();
btnPanel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
lblSearch = new JLabel("Searching..........");
btnCancel = new JButton("Cancel");
btnPanel.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
lblSearch.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
btnCancel.setBackground(Color.lightGray);
btnPanel.add(lblSearch, BorderLayout.CENTER);
btnPanel.add(btnCancel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
btnCancel.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent evt) {
System.out.println("cancel");
cancelled = true;
close();
btnPanel.setBounds(0,0,200,50);
this.getContentPane().add(btnPanel);
lblSearch.setVisible(true);
btnCancel.setVisible(true);
this.getContentPane().validate();
public void close() {
this.setVisible(false);
this.dispose();
public void show() {
super.show();
paintComponents(getGraphics());
this.setModal(false);
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Haroldsmith
I am calling this search window in one of my programs where on button click it will fetch the records from the database. When this process is on, search dialog is shown up. Ths dialog is shown correctly and its getting closed as soon as the search is completed. But the probelm is its not allowing me to click on cancel button.
