CFWINDOW referencing it's parent window.

Hello,
I have a problem with CFWINDOW and I cannot work out what is
wrong.
I have create a CFWINDOW which it's "source" is pointing to
another file. I understood that CFWINDOW is really a floating DIV,
and that the CFWINDOW should be able to access all of it's
variables in the parent window, including Session variables.
I've got a rather large application that was built in CF7,
but we have recently upgraded to CF8, and no matter what I do, I am
unable to access any variables to within CFWINDOW. Even all Session
variables in the parent window are not accessible in the CFWINDOW.
Is it something to do with the fact that use Application.cfm and
not Application.CFC? Has anyone got any idea as to what I can do to
ensure the scope of variables are accessed in my child windows?
thanks in advance,
Andy Hudson

does the file that is the source of your cfwindow belong to
same
application scope? i.e. does it have an Application.cfm/cfc
in its
folder or its partent folders other than the
Application.cfm/cfc that
the 'calling' page has?

Sending TABLE data in child window to parent window

My question is as follows:
I have a JSP with a parent window, which opens a pop-up window.
In the pop-window there is a <TABLE> tag defined with a number
of <TD> definitions referencing columns of data from a database table.
There is also a 'select' button next to each row displayed.
On pressing the 'select' button I want the data to go back to the fields
in the parent window.
I am successfully displaying the data in the pop-up window
I have used the DOM model in the past and for other elements within this JSP - i.e. drop down lists, sending data back to the parent window works fine, but I'm not sure of the syntax for referencing the TABLE items within the DOM model to send back to the parent window.
Any help on this would be very much appreciated.
Many Thanks
Chris

Well I've looked and I can't find anything wrong with it, but then I wrote it. I've included it as follows:
<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<html>
<head>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
function send_back(eventHandle)
if (opener == null) {
alert("\n Calling Window is no longer present. Will now close this window\n");
window.close();
else
if (eventHandle == "returnRow") {
<%-- Significant code below with the first statement referencing--%>
form name and item name and its value --%>
opener.document.produceTrans.studentID.value =
document.personLOV.personID.value;
<%-- statement below works so no that variable is correct-value --%>
<%-- part is wrong --%>
<%-- opener.document.produceTrans.studentID.value = "290000"; --%>
</SCRIPT>
<title>Person List
</title>
</head>
<%-- If the focus switches to the calling window this called window is closed
<BODY onBlur="window.close()"> --%>
<BODY>
<jsp:useBean id="personV" scope= "request" class="mypackage.PersonBean"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="personV" property="personName" />
<%-- Significant code below 1 with form name = personLOV --%>
<form name=personLOV METHOD="POST" action="transcript-control-servlet?Action=personList">
<TABLE >
<tr>
<td><input type='text' size=32 name="personName"> </td>
<td>
<input type="submit" name=personSearch value="Find Person">
</td>
</tr>
</TABLE>
<br>
<div style="width:480px; height:170px; overflow: auto;">
<TABLE border="1" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<%
Vector personVector = new Vector();
try {
personVector = (Vector)request.getAttribute("listPerson");
for (Enumeration e = personVector.elements();
e.hasMoreElements();) {
personV = (mypackage.PersonBean)e.nextElement();
//Significant code below 2 with persID setup
String persID = personV.getPersonID();
%>
<tr>
<%-- Significant code below 3 with hidden field set to persID --%>
<%-- and name=personID --%>
<td><input type="hidden" name=personID value='<%=persID%>'></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="button" name=SelectPerson value="Select"
onClick=send_back("returnRow")> </td>
<td><%= personV.getPersonID() %></td>
<td><%= personV.getPersonLastName() %></td>
<td><%= personV.getPersonFirstName() %></td>
<td><%= personV.getPersonBirthDate() %></td>
</tr>
<% } }
catch (NullPointerException ce) {
System.out.println("No records in list ");
%>
It is very straightforward and I believe I am referencing the correct form name/item name in the correct manner.
If I'm not then please tell me why not and how to fix it.
Thanks
Chris

Please see the below code for the reference.
String pubOrderId = pageContext.getParameter("orderId");
StringBuffer l_buffer = new StringBuffer();
StringBuffer l_buffer1 = new StringBuffer();
l_buffer.append("javascript:mywin = openWindow(top, '");
l_buffer1.append("/jct/oracle/apps/xxpwc/entry/webui/AddAttachmentPG");
l_buffer1.append("&retainAM=Y");
l_buffer1.append("&pubOrderId="+pubOrderId);
String url = "/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?page="+l_buffer1.toString();
OAUrl popupUrl = new OAUrl(url, OAWebBeanConstants.ADD_BREAD_CRUMB_SAVE );
String strUrl = popupUrl.createURL(pageContext);
l_buffer.append(strUrl.toString());
l_buffer.append("', 'lovWindow', {width:750, height:550},false,'dialog',null);");
pageContext.putJavaScriptFunction("SomeName",l_buffer.toString());
But here the problem is, even though popup window is there, i am able to do the actions on the parent page.

Closing Report Preview window closes all parent windows

I have a form 6.0 calling a report 6.0 with several user parameters using run_report_object in preview mode. After the finishing previewing, the user closes the report preview window. Then the preview window closes all the parent windows.
Need help!
1) The parameters are char, date and number types.
2) I don't have a parameter form. I take out the high-light of the parameters on the parameter form and the parameter form title.
3) I have several user parameters and without the parameter form i'm still able to pass the parameters from the Form.
Thanks
null

report_other parameter can only take 255? characters.
I use create parameter list and add_parameter instead.

Three links to open in parent window

I have built a slider that includes three different links (one for each slide) that need to open in the parent window. When I apply the Action using Open URL and target the parent window they still open in a new window.
Is there a way to configure the window.open action to target the parent window when an Edge Animate object is placed into an index file?
Any help would be appreciated.

1st, thank you so much for trying to help me with this. I truly appreciate it.
Window.location did not work either. Left the target as parent too, still a new window.
This is within a CMS editor that I have an iframe surrounding the index.html page holding the edge animate object for within our intranet.

How to get the parent window in sub-child controller class in javafx?

how to get the parent window in sub-child controller class in javafx?

You can get the window in which a node is contained with
Window window = node.getScene().getWindow();Depending when this is invoked, you might want to check the Scene is not null before calling getWindow().
If the window is a stage that is owned by another window, you can get the "parent" or "owner" window with
Window owner = null ;
if (window instanceof Stage) {
Stage stage = (Stage) window ;
owner = stage.getOwner();
}

How to re-show a dialog with the parent window

I am writing an Menu drivern application:
-- A JCMDIPane is put in the JFrame.
-- Multiple JCMDIFrames are added to the JCMDIPane via menu selecting events
-- Each JCMDIFrame (call it parent) may pop up a Dialog window (child) (Thes dialogs are modal)
Here is my problem:
When you switch away from this Java application to other applications (reading mauls, editing word documents, surfing web), of course, the Java program is hiding behind these applications and only left a Icon on your taskbar. The problem is that when switch back from other application to this Java program, However, it only shows the parent window (the JCMDIFrame ) and the child (the dialog) is behind. You have to using Alt_Tab to get the focus on the child and show it.
My question is:
Is there any way can we show the Dialog window is on the parent window (as it originally shown)?
I have tried to overwriting the paint method of JCMDIFrame :
public void paint(Graphics g)
super.paint(g);
if(child != null && child.isShowing())
child.setVisible(true);
This works on other applications but not on the Internet Explore (It always show the dialog).
Anybody can give me a clue?
Thanks!

When you pop up a dialog, if you use the constructor:
Dialog(Frame owner, boolean modal);
and pass it an instance of the parent frame (and set "modal" to "true"), then it is my understanding that it should always appear in front of the parent - are you sure this is what you are doing?
Double check by doing myDialog.getOwner() and make sure it's not null.

How to set focus in the parent window after a JOptionPane pop up ?

I am not able to set the focus back to a JTextField in the parent window after poping up a JOptionpane.showMessageDialog(). I tried requestfocus(),requestFocusInWindow etc......but not working. The code is given below.
if ((encryptor.encrypt(password)).equals(configuredPasswd)) {
                    validPassword = true;
               } else {
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(saveUI,"The password entered is not correct.");
                    saveUI.getPasswdField().setText("");
saveUI.getPasswdField().requestFocus();
Sometimes the focus is coming to the JTextField.Sometimes it appears for a moment and then dissappears.Please give a solution

see if this makes a difference
if((encryptor.encrypt(password)).equals(configuredPasswd))
validPassword = true;
else
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(saveUI,"The password entered is not correct.");
ActionListener al = new ActionListener(){
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
      saveUI.getPasswdField().setText("");
      saveUI.getPasswdField().requestFocusInWindow();}};
javax.swing.Timer timer = new javax.swing.Timer(100,al);
timer.setRepeats(false);
timer.start();
}

How do I populate a popup window with data from the parent window

I am brand new to JSF so please help me. I have a JSF page where users enter some search criteria and it displays the results in a matrix table. I need to have a PRINT button or link on this page that pops up a new window that displays the same data but in a printer-friendly format.
The parent page is already created and works fine. Now, what is the best way to populate the same data in the popup? The data is stored in a hashmap and retrived by a managed bean with session scope. Below is the XHTML code for displaying the table in the parent page.

                              </tr>
                         </c:forEach>

call javascript window.open("pagename"); & add some printer button there,
and put rendered attribute to button & in backing bean generate boolean getter setter for variable use same variable in jsp printer button in rendered attribute, in bean constructor pass some parameter throuh jsp page,
if parameter is match then it rendered attribute to true for button else not,
it means that in parent window you can not see printer button, but in same window in popup you will see printer button,
good luck
<h:commandButton rendered="#{bean.renderedButton}"/>
bean
private boolean renderedButton= false;(generate getter setter)
also pass parameter from UI to bean constructor

ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
out.write(byteArray);
out.close();
I'm able to download the file in all the browsers, But while using IPAD the content of the file replaces the existing window (Parent Window) without asking for Save or Open option.
Please let me know is there any special content type or anythinmg else i have to change.. So that i could be able to open the csv file in a new tab without replacing the parent window.The problem i faced only with IPAD

Hi,
For pdf file if we choose adhoc or by giving the proper name, we can able to get the options like OPEN or SAVE. This will work fine for pdf.
But here im trying with csv file /html file, so the file is replacing the existing screen itself when i click the csv link. In my web application, i cannot get the parent window by using back button once i get the csv file instead page gets expired.
So my best suggestion is should we able to open the csv file in new Tab of safari instead of replacing the parent window where im clicking to open the csv file.
Suggestions pls.
