Managing Popup window size

I am using RoboHelp 10 - I need to manage the popup window sizes so the larger popups (images of the main screens) can be displayed full size but without scroll bars. Can anyone help? If I choose the option for the popups where I decide on the size it makes all popups that size. Suggestion????
Also - how do I create lists so the are properly aligned. bullet remains to the left like a hanging paragraph and the text remains indented properly ....

Any ideas?
When I change the settings for toolbar, status, etc, then the
changes take effect, it seems though only the width and height
don't work for some reason.
I would be very grateful for any suggestions
Thanks

Reduce Popup Window Size

Hello Experts,
I have one popup window, the height and width of popup window is being displayed too large.
I am using method window set_window_size() and passing the parameter u2018Width = 20%u2019 and u2018Height = 30%' but it doesnu2019t work. How to reduce Popup Window Size?
Could you please suggest me?
Thanks.

Check out this post POPUP WINDOW .
I think the popup size will work in later SP level, instead of work on height and width of the popup specify the size of the called UI container.

Notify popup window size

Hi,
Is there a way to change the Notify popup window size (especially width)?
Sometimes I got emails where the subject is quite long, and quite important information is at the end of the subject. The default width of the popup window is not enough to show the full subject.
Thanks in advance for any tips.

Hi,
Unfortunately I too can't figure out a way to do this.
Perhaps one of the GroupWise guru's knows something that we don't ;)

Change the popup window size in the "optional label with help" template?

G'Day Apex/javascript gurus,
I am using Apex 4.0 where I coded an HTML table for help text in one item. Now, when an user click for help in this item then the HTML table is bigger than the size of the pop up window so the client has to re size it a bit to see it fully. To fix this, I tried to create a new "optional level with help" template where I can control the size of the pop up window and make it bigger to fit my HTML table so the client does not have to resize but I could not find any parameter in the original template:
<label for="#CURRENT_ITEM_NAME#"><span class="t9optionalwithhelp"> "javascript:popupFieldHelp('#CURRENT_ITEM_ID#','&SESSION.')" tabindex="999" that help me to achieve that
I am not an expert in javascript but I appreciate greatly if somebody here could help me to create a new label (with help) template where I can control the size of the popup window.
Kind regards
Carlos

Hello Carlos,
You can overload the APEX javascript with your own, on the page you want it to happen. You can do that in the Page Definition - Function and Global Variable Declaration.
Copy the below code into there and change the width and height of the popup.
function popupFieldHelp(pItemId, pSessionId){
    // Show jQuery div based dialog if not running in screen reader mode, if not fall back to old popup
    if (!$x('pScreenReaderMode')) {
        apex.jQuery.getJSON(
        'wwv_flow_item_help.show_help?p_item_id=' + pItemId + '&p_session=' + pSessionId + '&p_output_format=JSON',
        function(pData){
          var lDialog = apex.jQuery("#apex_popup_field_help");
          if (lDialog.length===0) {
            // add a new div with the retrieved page
            lDialog = apex.jQuery('<div id="apex_popup_field_help">'+pData.helpText+'</div>');
            // open created div as a dialog
            lDialog
              .dialog({
                title: pData.title,
                bgiframe: true,
                width: 500,
                height: 350,
                show: 'drop',
                hide: 'drop' });
          } else {
            // replace the existing dialog and open it again
            lDialog
              .html(pData.helpText)
              .dialog('option', 'title', pData.title)
              .dialog('open');
    } else {
        popupFieldHelpClassic(pItemId, pSessionId);
    return;
}; // popupFieldHelpHope that makes sense,

Popup window size problem

Hi,
For some reason, the popup window link in my Flash website
opens up a popup which doesn't behave to the window size rules I
set.
The website is www.caveataudiens.net , click on the 'music'
button, and then on the Jukebox button to see as example.
The Jukebox button has the following actionscript:
on (release) {
//customize the window that gets opened
// 0 equals NO.
// 1 equals YES.
address = "
http://www.caveataudiens.net/music/mp3player.html";
target_winName = "kirupa";
width = 400;
height = 300;
toolbar = 0;
location = 0;
directories = 0;
status = 0;
menubar = 0;
scrollbars = 1;
resizable = 0;
//sends data back to the function
openWinCentre(address, target_winName, width, height,
toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars,
resizable);
and in my main actionscript layer I have:
stopAllSounds();
forum_btn.onRelease = function() {
getURL("
http://www.flaccidsacks.co.uk/phpBB2/",
"_blank");
music_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("music");
links_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("links");
about_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("about");
news_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("news");
Movieclip.prototype.openWinCentre = function (url, winName,
w, h, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars,
resizable) {
getURL ("javascript:var myWin; if(!myWin ||
myWin.closed){myWin = window.open('" + url + "','" + winName +
"','" + "width=" + w + ",height=" + h + ",toolbar=" + toolbar +
",location=" + location + ",directories=" + directories +
",status=" + status + ",menubar=" + menubar + ",scrollbars=" +
scrollbars + ",resizable=" + resizable +
",top='+((screen.height/2)-(" + h/2 +
"))+',left='+((screen.width/2)-(" + w/2 + "))+'" +
"')}else{myWin.focus();};void(0);");
Can some kind soul help me figure out how to adjust the
window size?
Many thanks

Controlling popup window size

Is there a way to influence the size of popup windows? I am
developing help that will be displayed in a narrow panel, and
popups get to be ridiculously narrow. It seems that the autosizing
algorithm prioritizes tall over wide, so that a pupup topic that
fits in the help display without scrollbars doesn't use as much
width as it could. The width is extended as a last resort if the
amount of text would otherwise demand a scrollbar. I would like the
popups to be only a little narrower than the main window regardless
of the text amount.

GEWB,.
Thanks. A bit of elaboration:
I make extensive use of popups to display screen shots in a
separate window so the user can browse help and go from topic to
topic without necessarily navigating in the parent application at
the same time. I also make the guide available in our DocWeb
library as a standalone guide, so the user can read it with the
parent application closed.
Sometimes the popup window contains a fair amount of text in
a subtopic that the user may need to read only once and never
summon again. He or she has the option of ignoring that popup link
on returning to the topic. It's the same principle as a Glossary
definition. The link is there, but once you read it, why bother if
you can remember it from last time?
I haven't used dropdowns much, but as I recall they appear in
the topic pane and push text down until they are dismissed. Useful,
yes, but they wouldn't accomplish my purpose for popups.
I looked through ehlpdhtm.js, which primarily serves IE. It
figures out the autosize dimensions on the fly, and performs the
dhtml effect on text, such as flying in and out, but
Firefox/Mozilla/NS don't use dhtml effects.
I can't find a place in ehlpdhtm.js where (if it's in this
file) the default popup window is sized (it's about 300 px wide by
150 px high).
BSSCDHTM.JS doesn't appear in WebHelp output. Much of it is
similar to the other js file. I have no idea how it's used. The RH
help topic on output files mentions ehlpdhtm.js, but there is no
reference to bsscdhtm.js.
Is it possible that ehlp... replaced bssc.. and bssc... never
was removed from the RH code? Or is bssc... perhaps used in
generating html help?
If it's in some dll file, I can't fiddle with it, unless you
can tell me how to edit and save a dll file without destroying its
dll file type. DHTMLFX.DLL has a lot of code that looks similar to
the two .js files, but I can't find the default size. That's why I
thought perhaps the non-ie browsers have a built-in default when
the html code doesn't specify a custom size.
I'm content with the workaround, using custom sizes for all
popup windows, unless a real developer (of which I am not one) can
help figure this out.
Thanks again.

How to reduce Popup Window Size?

Hello All,
I have one popup window, the height of popup window is being displayed too large.
I used method IF_WD_WINDOW->WINDOW_SIZE( ), there are parameters 'Width' and 'Height' of type string, i have passed '30' and also '30%' like formate, it didn't work.
how to control the size of window? Could you please suggest me?

To be honest i havent found the size parameters working, what you can do though is to RESTRUCTURE the TEXT to be displayed in the pop-up, that would allow you to controll the WIDTH of the pop-up.
in my code sample below l_text table has 2 entries, we can further have more inserts to it to gain height.
You can create pop-up with different text, by extending the below source.
data : l_cmp_api          type ref to if_wd_component,
          l_window_manager   type ref to if_wd_window_manager,
          l_popup            type ref to if_wd_window,
          l_text             type        string_table,
          l_api              type ref to if_wd_view_controller,
         RR_POPUP_WINDOW type ref to IF_WD_WINDOW.
l_cmp_api        = wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
l_window_manager = l_cmp_api->get_window_manager( ).
insert `Records marked with RED LED contain error into table l_text.
insert `To proceed processing with errors, select YES for this POP-UP.` into table l_text.
rr_popup_window = l_window_manager->create_popup_to_confirm(
                text            = l_text
                button_kind     = if_wd_window=>co_buttons_yesnocancel
                message_type    = if_wd_window=>co_msg_type_warning
                window_title    = 'INFO'
                window_position = if_wd_window=>co_center
                ).                                          "#EC
      rr_popup_window->subscribe_to_button_event(
               button            = if_wd_window=>co_button_yes
               action_name       = 'TO_V_PODETAILS' "action on the view that handles click
               action_view       = ir_view

Taskflow popup window size

You should be able to set the window height and window width properties on the button that you use to invoke the popup.
That is if you use a button to invoke the popup.

Popup window size

How can I set size and location of a popup in JavaHelp 2.0 explicitly, i.e. in Java Code ?
Thanks in advance
Thomas G�lden

For the size you can use setSize();
Code:
Popup popup = (Popup) Popup.getPresentation(HelpSetName, null);
popup.setInvoker(ButtonName);
popup.setCurrentID("Sect1");
popup.setSize(new Dimension(400,600));

How to maximize a popup window?

Hi,
My issue:
A popup contains data larger that the screen size, it therefore maximizes itself, meaning that it sets its WIDTH to 100%. But this is most unfortunate as WD does not recognise its own scrollbar as the end of the available screen and now the close button (cross) of the popup is beneath the scrollbar!
When doing a "true" maximize by clicking on the button left to the "closing cross", it recognizes scrollbars and stays visible in total.
My question:
How can I programmatically access the maximize/fullscreen function? Interface IF_WD_WINDOW does not provide a corresponding method as far as I can see...
Already tried:
...please no "put width and height to 100%" as I already stated that this is not what I want...
Also setting width to 95% or the likes does not work, as the popup automatically sets 100% on refresh if there are to large contents.
<br>
I would appreciate your help on this!!
Kind Regards,
Robert

Hi Robert,
You can do any size related actions in POPUP, Actually we have SET_WINDOW_SIZE Method to set window size,
But for popups it wont work.
Please check this thread, check Thomos reply
Re: Confirm Popup in Web Dynpro, window size
Check using set_window_size.. but can't effect.

Popup with fixed window size

Hey, i'm really stuck with this and keep hitting a dead end.
i've got a button in my flash website and i want it to open a popup
window of 600x400 pixels when clicked. The popup contains a
background image of this size so i dont want any white space in the
background. I've tried putting the following into the actions
window with the button selected but nothing happens when i click
the link in the website.
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:openNewWindow('
http://www.mysite.co.uk/support.html','thewin','height=400,width=600,toolbar=no,scrollbars =no');");
If I attach a behaviour to the button to geturl, it works but
brings up the page full size. I'm new to flash so am just going on
scripts i'm finding on various websites. Is there a simple way to
do this? Its pretty straight forward in Dreamweaver but i cant see
where to specify popup dimensions in flash. Thanks, Dren

I found a script that works. If anyone comes across this post
this is what you need:
on (release) {
var jscommand:String = "window.open('
http://www.yourdomain.com/yourpage.html','win','height=600,width=800,toolbar=no,scrollbars =no');";
getURL("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);");
}

Message (of message manager) gets lost by opening a popup window

Hi all,
On behalf of a better error/exception handling, I would like to show the stacktrace in a popup window, that means, if the application reports an error message (through the message manager in the view controller), the user (administrator, developer) can optionally click a link (LinkToAction => opening a modal window) to see the stacktrace in a separat popup window.
Unfortunately if the popup window now gets displayed, the error message on the main view (background of the popup window) will be cleared, so this - for the common user more readable - information is not anymore displayed, also when the popup will be cleared.
Of course, I could backup the error message in a context value and redisplay it after closing the popup window, but I suppose that's not a very cool solution...
Other any good ideas?
Thanks,
Stefan

Hi Stefan
Usually showing a stack-trace to the end-user of your application is not so helpful as might appear. My experience shows that the information is too technical for the end-user and does not help him/her to resolve the issue/problem. It's better to display error messages pointing him to some solution or directions that he might do in order to fix the error.
If you still want to show a stack-trace I'd advise the following. You have to prepare the UI control with the stack-trace in the same server response (round trip) which shows the message manager's messages. The messages will not disappear until a client sends a new request to the server. When you open the popup such request definitely takes place.
Maybe try to display the stack-trace in the bottom of the screen so user have to scroll down a little bit to show the trace.
Or maybe Tray control will help in the case. Try to put the trace in a text view and put the view in a tray. Then user has to expand the tray to see the trace. But do not assign any event handlers to the tray to avoid additional request to the server while it's expanding.
BR, Sergei

Popup image works fine but how to control the window size

Hello folks,
I use
<img title="Click to pop up large image" src="#OWNER#.view_my_file_form?p_file=#IMGID#" width="40" height="30" />
to popup a image window. It works just fine. How can I set the popup image window size? The window is too big but the image is too samll.
Many thanks.
Mickey

The popupURL function is defined as
function popupURL(url)
w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=800,height=600");
if (w.opener == null) w.opener = self;
w.focus();
If 800x600 is too big for you, write your own mypopupURL function with whatever size you want

When a allowed popup window opens, it is maximized. Before it was the size it was supposed to be but after updating Firefox, everything is maximized.

Popup windows are all maximized. This was not the case before updating Firefox.

Javascript error on List Manager (Popup LOV)

Hi all,
I have a problem with checkboxes and list managers (based on popup LOV).
I have a form containing several checkboxes and list managers; in a region of the form (the one before the last one) I have 10 checkboxes but just the first one work, the other ones give me this error when I tried to insert a record:
ORA-20001: Errore in DML: p_rowid=21, p_alt_rowid=ID, p_rowid2=, p_alt_rowid2=. ORA-20001: Valore numerico :1 non valido per la colonna EDUCATION (it's italian, the translation for the last part is "numerical value :1 not valid for the EDUCATION column).
Furthermoe, I have problems with list managers too: when I open the popup for some of them and choose the value from the popup window, I get a Javascript error: "Obejct doesn't support this property or method"; some (just some) of the list managers works.
The strange thing is that if I delete a list manager or a checkbox, another list manager or checkbox starts to work, as if it was a rule about the max total number of list manager/checkboxes.
I want to highlight that the total number of items in the form is less than 100.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Matteo

Hi,
The issue is because Apex actually generates TWO items for each List Manager items and both of these count towards the maximum of 100 items per page. As an example - this is ONE list manager item from my test page:
<fieldset id="P222_LM1" class="listmanager">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" summary="">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<noscript>
JavaScript not supported
</noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
<fieldset id="P222_LM1_ADD_fieldset" class="lov">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" id="P222_LM1_ADD_holder" class="lov" summary="">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="lov">
<input type="text" id="P222_LM1_ADD" value="" maxlength="2000" size="27" name="p_v99"/>
</td>
<td>
<a href="javascript:genList0_p_v99_()">
<img width="13" height="13" alt="Popup Lov" src="/i/list_gray.gif"/>
</a>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</fieldset>
</td>
<td>
<input type="button" onclick="appendToList(document.forms[0].p_v99.value.toUpperCase(), document.forms[0].p_v02);document.forms[0].p_v99.value=''" value="Add" name=""/>
<input type="button" onclick="deleteListElement(document.forms[0].p_v02)" value="Remove" name=""/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<select id="P222_LM1_LISTMGRDATA" width="225" multiple="multiple" size="10" prompt="" name="p_v02">
<option>8021
</option>
<option>8001
</option>
</select>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</fieldset>Note that the popup item is p_v99 and the list item is p_v02.
Question to the Apex developers:
Given that the popup item does not really need to be submitted with the page, could this not use a different naming convention?
