Modal windows not frontmost

I and many others have been having troubles with the Z-ordering of LabVIEW's windows for some time.
While up until now it was mainly a nuisance it now has be angry. I've experienced several times that a window which SHOULD be modal is appearing BEHIND other windows, essentially making my work with LabVIEW impossible bec ause none of the other windows respond and without mouse access to the actual modal window to close it, I have no point of entry to conttrol my software. Looks like a deadlocked process when it's really the window management which is at fault.
I'm currently looking at exactly such a problem in fromt of my eyes. I'm not doing anything with win32 DLLs. Running LV 32-bit on a 32-bit WinXP in a VM.
Anybody else seeing this?

Yes, apparently, this modal windows problem is generally encountered with Windows 7 and is not coming from LabVIEW:

So there's no change of the LV environment being aware of this and simply taking steps to avoid it? This is a big problem.

Every time Firefox opened

Hello.
Although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
As for your problem, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

Adobe Form NOT getting displayed in WebDynpro Modal Window (Pop Up)

Hi,
I am trying to display the table data in a Interactive Form. I have used TABLE UI element in Interactive Form. When the user clicks on a EXPORT button this form is displayed in a pop up window (Modal Window). This form is not getting displayed for most of the users. In some PC's it is getting displayed, strange is all their browser versions and OS versions are same.
Portal Version: NW04s SP8
NWDS Version : NW04s SP8
Adobe Live Designer: 7.1
Acrobat Reader: 7.0.8
I tried changing the display type (property of Interactive Form Element) to NATIVE, it is not working at all. If i change it to "activeX", then it works in some PC's.No logs are found in the server as well as in the client PC as well.
Please let me know if you have come across this problem, looking forward to your solution.

Hi,
even though this is quite an old post, it still could be worth for someone to have a look at Note 1342716.

The LOV modal window could not return value to the base page

when practicing the "create1" task in tutorial, met an issue.
when create an employee, manageName is a messageLovInput and managerID is a messageTextInput.
The issue is the LOV modal window could not return value to the mangerName, but can return to managerID .
If I remove the data boud porperties of the managerName (the bc4j porperties of view name-EmpFullVO and view attribute-MgrName), the lov works fine.
What is the reason?

James I would suggest to read the LOV topic in OAF developers' guide. Lov mappings are responsible for bringing pop up values to base page in LOV.

Registration page not working in modal window

Hi could use some wisdom here,
The page is setup to appear in a modal window. However, when you click on "Register Now" button the page appears, then disappears very quickly. This of course does not permit customer interaction, and I can't tell what might be causing this? Tech support said they cannot assist with this issue and recommended that I contact this forum.
The page URL is: http://www.printingp…ndiego.com/login-register.html
I sure could use a little help!

Always on top window (not modal)

Hi, everyone:
Is there a way of making a window to be displayed always on top? I don't want it to be a modal window. I want the user to be able to flip to another (background) form, but still being able to fully see my current form on top.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Eugene.

Yes this is possible - if you are using Forms client server on windows you can find the code on Metalink (metalink.oracle.com) Note:68822.1

How do you open a modal window from an Edge Animate button?

I am trying to create an animated group of buttons that open a Bootstrap 3 modal window when clicked. The animation (OAM file) is placed on the Bootstrap page.
This code is added to Animate "CREATION COMPLETE" for button creation and button click:
// Button 1
var btn1 = sym.createChildSymbol("HomeButton", "menu");
   // Convert/store a reference to the symbol as a string representing the element name of the symbol instance.
var btn1_e = btn1.getSymbolElementNode();
   // Now can use that element string and convert it to a DOM element to use with jQuery to call its css properties
   // and adjust whatever you'd like, including its position property
   sym.$(btn1_e).css({"position":"relative", "margin":"10"});
btn1.getVariable("setLabel")("Print Work");
btn1.getVariable("setDescription")("Examples of Telex advertisement");
btn1.$("MyImageBox").css("background" , "url(images/telexads_full269x151.jpg) no-repeat");
btn1.getSymbolElement().click(function() {
          console.log("button 1 was clicked");
document.getElementById("myModal");
$('#myModal').modal('show');
The div for the modal is on the main HTML page. I want to have the modal open a larger image of the button. Basically a lightbox for the Edge Animate stage, but it has to access the div on the parent HTML document (not the EdgeAnimate.html).
Here is the error from the Chrome Javascript console:
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'modal' portfolioButtonStage_edgeActions.js:4
(anonymous function)portfolioButtonStage_edgeActions.js:4
f.event.dispatchjquery-1.7.1.min.js:3
h.handle.i
I've tried Edge Commons Spotlight, but that doesn't open on the page correctly; it puts the image at the bottom of the main page.
Any ideas? Thanks

How do I include/show data from a child table in a Modal Window?

How do I show data from a child table in a Modal Window?
I have an application where each customer might have multiple addresses and phone numbers which are stored in child tables. When I show the customer in a record on a screen I can place a Modal Window button on the screen which can be pushed at runtime
to display detail information for the particular customer parent table which works great. However, I would also like to display the data from the address and phone number child tables. Is there a way to do that? Or can I just launch a hole separate screen
which would automatically display the needed data for the particular customer? If yes, how?
Thank you for any help.

I am not even sure how to describe my situation in such a way that this forum incident would be of benefit to other people as I think it is fairly unconventional.
The “add contactaddress” link does not show up on the right.
The contactaddress table is a child of the contact table.
The contact table is a child of the contactlink table.
And the contactlink table is a child of the person table.
I have it set up this way because the contact in the contact table may be a contact to multiple persons in the person table and I do not want to re-enter the contact info every time the contact is used.
In the list detail screen of the person table I can see the contactlink child collection so that I can see the name of the person in the contact table at runtime. However, the contactaddress collection is not related to the person table so it does not show
up on the right hand side of the design screen as an “add contactaddress”; nor is there “add contact” link.
What I would like to happen during runtime is that it is not necessary to switch screens from the person list detail screen to a contact list detail screen to see the addresses and phone numbers for the contact.
Is my setup unnecessarily convoluted? Is there a better way? Please see the two snapshots below.
Perhaps there is a way to call up a Detail screen from the List Detail at runtime?
Anyway, if you are still reading, thank you very much for your help.

JRE 1.5.0_13 problem with Modal Window

We have stand alone browser based application built on HTML, Javascript, and Java (non-GUI applet). We were running the Sun JRE 1.4.2_06, but have recently upgarded to 1.5.0_13. As soon as we upgraded to 1.5, started experiencing the below problem -
The HTML screen displays a modal windows which makes a Java call to the MQClient software through Applet (via OBJECT Tag) to communicate with mainframe. The MQClient Java code seems to be blocked until the user clicks on any other area of the screen to shift the focus from our modal dialog to any other window (either clicking on the task bar, clicking on another window in the background, or hitting Alt/F10 key).
The same code runs fine with JRE 1.4.2_06.
Based on a further analysis+ it seems like there is an issue, when a modal html window makes a java call for creating a socket connection (other then localhost). In this scenario, socket is never created unless you drag a modal window or move a focus away from a modal window.
Above problem seems to be resolved with JRE 1.6.0_10.

.. All the Java class files are bundled in a zip file under different packages and Zip file path is provided at run time when Application starts. It is safest to distribute classes and application resources as Jar files. One reason is that Sun decided to not bother even checking Zips for digital signatures, so no trusted app. can afford to try loading Zip files.
..The path of Zip file is at C:\EALife\Program ...Whoa up a second there!
If this applet is only ever being loaded on the same machine as the codebase, why is it an applet at all? It would make more sense to distribute/install an application.
If this applet is being loaded by PCs at remote locations, then the will probably not have a C:\EALife\Program path at all (especially is they use Ubuntu, like here).
..and home directory path is C:\EAFramework\Program\Screens. We are putting all paths in a single variable (APP_CLASS_PATH) and using that variable as a parameter value in Object Id tag for creating an Applet. Below is the code snnipet for Object Id tag -Sun has championed a script to use for applet versioning and writing the applet element. I suggest you use it instead, it is known as 'deployJava.js' - see top hit at Google for details.

Creation of blocking modal windows

Hi
I’m struggling, for sometime now, with the famous
a-synchronic behavior of flex.
I’m trying to develop a function that resembles the
famous VB “MsgBox ()” and opens a UI container (e.g.
like a Title window) in Modal mode while blocking the continuation
of the rest of the code until the UI closes.
I would like to be able to write something similar to the
following set of commands:
MsgBoxInFlex( …..); \\ blocks operation until UI closes
if (x=……)
Problem – as far as I know – is that such a call
to a function (i.e. MsgBoxInFlex) returns the control to the
calling code after the function has finished with no connection to
UI container status. This means that the if command will be running
as soon as the UI will be created and displayed.
Is there a way to both create and work with on the UI
container before the MsgBoxInFlex function returns?
Is there a way to return after a different event - such as
form closure?
Is there a way to capture and block the creation completed
event from being transmitted and decide on when to send it?
Any ideas will be welcomed.
Thanks
Raz

Thanks for your response –
The problem with using popup modal windows (such as Alert) is
that the calling program does not stop from executing while in VB
(or in other tools) the application waits for the Modal window
thread to return.

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.

Adobe Form in Modal Window

Hi all,
I am displaying an Adobe Form in a pop up modal window. The display type of the Adobe form is native. However when the popup window shows up, the adobe form is not shown properly.
There is no problem if i set the displayType of the adobe form on the view as ActiveX. However there is a constraint that the displayType should be native.
Has anyone encountered such problem before?

Only in popups, in SP19 forms were displayed in popups in firefox and IE, in SP21 only in IE. I know about this note, but in SP19 everything was working OK, so I think on SP21 should this popup functionality remain :). Or what is the reason to remove this functionality for firefox in SP21?
Many thanks for reply
