Modal dialog window to system

Hi,
I could not find proper link to post this, so I am posting here.
I want a system level dialog window i.e. when this window is visible it should always be at top most and user should not allowed to select other applications.
I used runModalForWindow method of NSApp but it is creating modal window with respect to my application and I am able to select other applications.
I want my modal dialog should be top most dialog to my application and user should not be able to select other application.
Thanks.

Hi
My application is running in kiosks environment. So I want when any modal dialog pops up in desktop from my application, user should not be able to select any other application from the desktop i.e. I want my modal dialog window should always be at the topmost.
If it is not possible to have a system level dialog window, any alternate solution so that my modal dialog will be at topmost and user should not be able to select any other application as long as this dialog is visible will really helpful to solve my problem.
Thanks.

Passing values to a modal dialog window...

Hi All,
Is there a way to pass massive amount of data into a pop-up
modal dialog window? I have this following code that keeps giving
me a JavaScript error whenever I have like 2000 characters in the
documen.myForm.Product_Details textarea field. Any suggestions or
advice is greatly appreciated, and thank you very much in advance!
function Modal_NewWin() {
var width = 750;
var depth = 200;
var productDetails = document.myForm.Product_Details.value;
var url =
"PreviewProducts.cfm?ProductID=#GetProductInfo.ProductID#&ProductDetails="
+ productDetails;
var sfeatures = "dialogHeight: " + depth + "px; dialogWidth:
" + width + "px; dialogTop: px; dialogLeft: px; center: Yes; help:
No; resizable: No; status: No;";
return window.showModalDialog(url,'',sfeatures);

can you use JSStringFormat() without first submitting the
form??? (so CF can see the value in the form field jsstringformat
is applied to..)
submitting a form to the preview page will solve the problem
for sure, but then you will somehow have to have 2 different action
target for the form, so that clicking 'preview' button submits the
form to the modal window, and clicking a 'save' button will submit
the form to another action page that inserts values into a db...
you can do that, again with some more javascript...
as html-escaping javascripts are readily available on various
script sites, i think it will be easier to employ one of them...
(please note that i am assuming quiet a lot about how the
AppDeveloper's form works and what it does, since he never
explained it himself...)

Open list form across host header site collections via Modal Dialog window

Hello, I have a web application that has two host header site collections in it. When a user is on Host Header A, I need to open a list's display form that's located on Host Header B. I'm using the JS function SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options)
to open a dialog window to the host header B list's display form. It loads and shows all the columns, but there are a couple issues.
1) The scroll bar on the dialog window is not active (can't scroll up or down to see all the columns). This is an issue on all browsers (IE 8 &9, Chrome, FF)
2) In IE, the SP ribbon does not display. In Chrome and FF the ribbon does display and the buttons work fine.
There's no errors in the ULS logs, and if I use IE8, there's a JavaScript "Access Denied" error. I've confirmed the user account has permissions on both sites & list.
My first thought had to do with anonymous access being turned on at the web application level (not the site level) and the credentials not being passed to the new site collection. But this isn't the case because in Chrome, the ribbon shows and the
buttons are security trimmed correctly based on the users permissions. So I know the credentials are getting passed through the dialog window. And when I use the "Edit' button on the ribbon in chrome, it opens a new dialog window and everything
works correctly (Scroll bar and ribbon).
Has anybody been able to successfully open a list form across two separate host header site collections?

I ended up getting around the cross site collection in the modal window issue by using a custom ASPX page that works as a redirect using JS.
The link the end user clicks pops open the aspx page in a dialog window. I then pull the URL of the list item I want to open from the URL and have JS open that form in the modal window. The key seems to be to open the redirect aspx page under
the same site collection as the list item you want to view.
Here's the JS that's in the aspx page.
<script type="text/javascript">
// We name the current dialog windown
window.name = "newSiteWindow";
// wait until we know the the JS lib is loaded
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(loadNewSite, "sp.js");
function loadNewSite() {
//grab the list item URL from the URL of the dialog window using a pre created function
newURL = GetUrlParmByName("listItem");
//append our dlg query to the end so everything displays correctly. If you do not use IsDlg=0, the ribbon does not display and the window will not scroll.
newURL = newURL + "&IsDlg=0";
//use the current window to open the list item we want to go to.
window.open(newURL, "newSiteWindow");
</script>

Javascript call from Flash in modal dialog window

Hi.
As I see it's impossible to call Javascript function from
flash in modal dialog (opened with showModalDialog), neither with
getURL nor with ExternalInterface.call.
The only solution I found (in my case it's enough, I only
need to refresh some DIV content in the page from flash) is to
catch error in the modal dialog (Javascript window.onerror) and
then do some operations.
I'm intereseted: is this for security reason on Win XP SP2? I
didn't found any solution, but is there any?

Hi Gary,
Actually I'm not very sure that whether it is the VS issue if it still has this issue in a new Environment.
To make sure that it is not the VS setup file issue, one idea is that you could re-download your VS2013 Pre version here:
http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs
And then re-install it again. Test the result. Hope that it is not the VS setup file issue.
If still no help, really sorry for that I couldn't repro this issue in my side. But
you can submit this feedback to Microsoft Connect feedback portal:
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/CreateFeedback.aspx,Microsoft
engineers will evaluate them seriously. You could share this project in your report, the product team members would troubleshoot and repro this issue.

Hiding modal dialog-window

I wrote a class extending JDialog. That window was meant to close when pressing a button via the this.hide() method. But I always have to click the button twice. When i click it only once, the window disappears for a very short time and is repainted immediately. Clicking a second time makes the window disappear. What have I done wrong? Notice that the window is set to modal with this.setModal(true).

this.setVisible(false);worked for me.

Modal INLINE dialog windows

Hello,
I'm facing some issues with the modal dialog windows that are embedded in an window and are not opened as a separate window. I saw the "tutorials" in different weblogs and the book of Jung/McKellar for the "F4-Help". It works well unless I integrate it into the portal. There, I do have two issues:
1. It looks much different as if I would open it directly from the backened system. The close/maximize buttons are different and the ok button at the botton is on the right side and not on the left side. It's not tragical but I'm asking why.
2. It's only possible to open ist once. If I open it the second time I dont see any buttons like maximizing etc.
I really hope anyone of you can help me. It's a great feature and I would appreciate any help and reward point therefore.
thanks and regards

Threadsafe Modal Dialog

Is there any way to do a thread safe, properly operating modal dialog panel?
I want to issue popups from within a thread. Using the standard MessagePopup() displays the dialog box, but it does not block events in the other threads. Which is to say that one can click anything else on the main panel, putting the popup in the background.
Perhaps there is some kind of signalling that can be implemented between a function launched from the thread via PostDeferredCall(), so that the thread pauses until the popup is closed?

hendra:
If you just need a simple, standard dialog box, you can use the Windows SDK MessageBox function to create a system modal dialog box. System modal dialogs stay on top of all other applications. See my old example here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabWindows-CVI/MessagePopup-dissappears-behind-active-panel/m-p/182045#M1409...
If you need a more custom dialog, as an experiment I created a CVI project which simulates a system modal dialog by taking back focus on a fast firing timer. See my discussion and example here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabWindows-CVI/Make-panel-modal-from-a-CVI-dll/m-p/1316925#M50035

How to display non modal dialog box in a Dll call from TestStand implemented in visual c

Dear Jason F.
Applications Engineer
National Instruments
Hello
I did the same way you told me
the non modal dialog appeared and
system hangs and
giving the error message
""SeqEdit.exe-Application Error
The instruction at �0x047fc5b0� referenced memory at �0x047fc5b0�. The memory could not be �read� ""
please solve my problem
and thanks for yours early response
you can email me at
[email protected]

Hi Mkehret,
Does your dialog have ActiveX controls on it? If your DLL dialog uses ActiveX controls and is not programmed in a certain manner it can hang because of a conflict in the threading model used by the TestStand Engine that is calling into your DLL and the model that is required by the MFC ActiveX Container. If you are using ActiveX controls in your dialog, you need to make special considerations for the threading model MFC dialogs that use ActiveX controls need in order to work properly. The example under \Examples\MFCActiveXContainerDlg illustrates how to appropriately handle this situation as well as explaining why it is necessary.
Note: The above example displays the dialog as modal, but this is irrelevant to the problem I am describing.
Again for information on properly creating a dialog class object and displaying it as non-modal refer to the information on MSDN that I referred you to in this post:
http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RPAGEID=135&HOID=506500000008000000E98A0000&USEARCHCONTEXT_CATEGORY_0=_8_&USEARCHCONTEXT_CATEGORY_S=0&UCATEGORY_0=_8_&UCATEGORY_S=0
If your dialog does not use ActiveX controls or after trying the programming method illustrated in the "MFCActiveXContainerDlg" example TestStand still hangs when calling your DLL, try calling your DLL from another environment just to make sure whether the DLL works at all. If the DLL works properly when called by another environment (e.g. VB, VC++, LabVIEW, or CVI), please submit a MINIMAL and REPRODUCEABLE example source project for your DLL for us to look at (please exclude all unnecessary code not required to reproduce the specific problem of displaying the dialog, and include all files necessary to build your dll with any
specific instructions needed to do so).

Howto create non-modal dialogs using ADF Faces

I would like to use Dialogs in a non-modal manner.
Trying to use
<af:commandLink useWindow="true" action="dialog:infoPopup" blocking="false">
<af:setActionListener from="#{row.xyId}" to="#{infoPopup.currentId}" />
</af:commandLink>
doesn't work as expected. I'll get the dialog, but I can't use the page behind it.
Alternatively I tried to show the page using Javascript opening the pageInfo.faces, but here I have an order problem. The onClick event is processed first and the #{infoPopup.currentId} will be populated after rendering the JSF page. But I want to show infos depending on the xyId.
Is there any other way to open windows/dialogs?
Thanks in advance
Stephan

The "blocking" attribute basically just blocks you from clicking the commandLink or commandButton twice (or more) before the first click has been processed by the server and a response has been received.
It is a very good util for avoiding those unwanted IndexOutOfBoundsExcepions when a user hits many buttons thus sending multiple requests to the server.
By the way, I'd like to see the answer to the non-modal dialog window, because we have a need for them, too.
Kind regards,
dj

Jquery Modal Dialog - passing item values

Hi Everyone,
I know...there are a lot of information about how to implement modal dialog form.....but I cannot find an answer on how to deal with my situation.
What I am trying to achieve is to create a form in apex page, assign items to this form , add Jquery script to the page header where I am going to call this form into modal dialog ..... fill out items in modal dialog and when click on "Create" - insert value of the items into my table.
Yes, this is common thing to do (like here http://shijesh.wordpress.com/2010/04/10/jquery-modal-form-in-apex-4 )....but I am trying to find a way where I don't need to create function for my "Crete" button which will call OnDemand Process. Anyways, here is what and how I am trying to do this and please correct me where I am wrong.
*1.* I do have a table called "inventory_modal", ID column has a PK and trigger/sequence is there too.
*2.* Do have a page with Form Region with data entry based on my table and Static ID "myModalForm".
*3.* Do have items assigned to my From Region :
:P23_ID (hidden):P23_INVENTORY_DATE (data picker)
:P23_ASSET_ID (number)
:P23_CONDITION (text field)
:P23_INVENTORY_OWNER (text field)
:P23_STATUS (text field)
:P23_LOCATION (text field)
:P23_COMMENTS (text field)>
*4.* Do have a button called "Open Modal" to open my form in dialog window with redirect to URL: javascript:openForm();*5.* Do have an On Submit - After Computations and Validations process
insert into inventory_modal (id, inventory_date, asset_id, condition, inventory_owner, status, location, comments)
               values (:P23_ID, to_date(:P23_INVENTORY_DATE,'&APP_DATETIME_FORMAT.'), :P23_ASSET_ID, :P23_CONDITION,
                          :P23_INVENTORY_OWNER, :P23_STATUS, :P23_LOCATION, :P23_COMMENTS); the process is Conditional with Request = Expression1 , where Expresseion1 is set to "CREATE".
*6.* And here is HTML Header Jquery script where I am calling "myModalForm" form to open in dialog window and by selecting "Create" button passing "CREATE" vallue back to page which should fire my process to insert data:
<link rel="stylesheet" href = "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/themes/
redmond/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css" />
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.js"> </script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/jquery-ui.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$( function() {
   $('#myModalForm').dialog(
        modal : true ,
        autoOpen : false ,
        buttons : {
            Cancel : function() {$(this).dialog("close")},
            Create : function() {$(this).dialog("close");doSubmit('CREATE')}
function openForm()
    $('#myModalForm').dialog('open');
So, and here is my question. I don't want to use any OnDemand Process, I would like dialog window to pass values to my regular procedure in my page. I had an assumption that Create : function() {$(this).dialog("close");doSubmit('CREATE')} will do the trick but apparently it doesn't. Is there any way to do it?
Here is my testing page : http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=39330:23
If you click on Open Modal, it will open my form in modal dialog window, on create it will send "CREATE" request to my procedure which will insert data into table....but it unfortunately it will insert only NULLS into my table (only ID column will have data as it has trigger/sequence). So, click Create and then refresh the page.
Thanks

Hi Jari,
Thanks for your surrestion.
I am not exactly sure on how to set ajax item session, does this looks ok for whatever I want to do?

        modal : true ,
        autoOpen : false ,
        buttons : {

            Create : function() {
                                          ajaxRequest.add('P23_ID',html_GetElement('P23_ID').value);
                                          ajaxRequest.add('P23_INVENTORY_DATE',html_GetElement('P23_INVENTORY_DATE').value);
                                          ajaxRequest.add('P23_ASSET_ID',html_GetElement('P23_ASSET_ID').value);

                                          ajaxRequest.add('P23_INVENTORY_OWNER ',html_GetElement('P23_INVENTORY_OWNER ').value);
                                          ajaxRequest.add('P23_STATUS',html_GetElement('P23_STATUS').value);
                                          ajaxRequest.add('P23_LOCATION',html_GetElement('P23_LOCATION').value);

                                          ajaxResult = ajaxRequest.get();
                                          $(this).dialog("close");
                                          doSubmit('CREATE');}

Invoke External Link on a Dialog Window

What's the easiest way of invoking an external link (ex: http://www.google.com) in a modal Dialog window. I want to achieve something like the select input text component, but for external links that in our case will be external applications.
Do I need to create a dummy .jspx/.jsp for each external link ?
Thanks,
Claudio.

Thanks for the reply.
The main page is made up of multiple inputText boxes that we want to popluate based on the row we select. Is it possible to populate inputTexts from the table? Or do we need another ADF table like your example shows?
Thanks

Hiding Application To System Tray will cause Modal dialog unblock

I have a JFrame, when I minimize it, it will hide. The user can recall it back by simply double click on its icon, which is created in system tray during application initialization.
However, I am facing problem when I pop up a modal dialog box. (In Linux)
When I pop up a modal dialog box, I am expecting setVisible(true) will always being block, until the modal dialog box is closed.
However, in Linux, user is able to minimize the parent windows, even there is a modal dialog box. During minimization, I have to call JFrame.setVisible(false), in order to hide the application.
A side effect of calling setVisible(false) for a modal dialog box owner (JFrame), will cause the modal dialog box JDialog.setVisible(true) being unblocked and continue for the next statement.
How I can prevent this, to ensure the JDialog.setVisible is always blocked, until the JDialog is really closed? Thanks!

tnx Sarcommand ..i give up on that, i understand the risk if that feature is included..
all i wanted is to make an internet cafe client/server that blocks the client's pc interaction if log time is reached.blocking only the keyboard and mouse.
i have seen so many softwares sets the cursor position within the dialog bounding box only with user and password there. though my other application runs the mouse is still captured on the dialog even the dialog lost focus.
if that would not be possible I'll just send notification to the client, a dialog that does not block any application.
now, im going to try if the client can do som action whenever the server sends alert if the client java app is not the focus. i will post next time what hapens.but if you tried already, if u dont mind posting it so others could know it also..
tnx so much Sarcommand..

How to make awt modal dialog to NOT appear on top of existing windows

Hi,
I am working on a program that displays awt modal dialog box when it needs some action from the user. My problem is that the modal dialog box cann't be top window as there is one VC++ window that needs to be always top window. Another requirement I must satisfay is that there should not be any flickling. I've tried with setAlowaysOnTop(false), dialog.toBack(), transferFocus(), etc but with no avail. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Note: This thread was originally posted in the Swing forum, but moved to this forum for closer topic alignment.
