modal dialog help
Hello,
Could anyone help me get started with sandbox modal dialog?
How to open a ModalDialog when clicking a button?
How to get the value(entered in modal dialog) back to the parent
window?
Thanks!

Yes the demo is not fully implemented yet, in the main form some values
are not referenced yet over managed beans.
I havent had time to fix this yet, it was more important to fix the
dialog into a working condition.
I will fix it asap to have a better working demo
(asap means probably tomorrow evening)

Hi,
yes the server was down for quite a time. Hm..the best way to have a
look at the source code is a fresh checkout of svn head. In the
sandbox module you can found everything you
are looking for. It`s not that difficult to have a look at the examples there.
regards,
Gerald

Hi Gerald,
Thanks, I tried the link several times last week, but it did not work. It is working now.
The demo did not get the values back to the master window. Is there a way to see its source code?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi dave the current dialog demo showcases the form and the javascript way.
the ppr way is not showcased.
If you prefer the javascript way, you can use the current dialog demo to
my knowledge as a blueprint!

HI Werner,
Thanks!
When user clicks a button, a dialog popup for user to select a node from a tree2.
After user clicks a node, the dialog closes and change the value(tree path) on the master window. (eg. root > node1 > node11 > node112)
I prefer the Javascript way because of better user experience.
If you demo all three ways, it would be great!.

I think the best way to get you kickstarted on that one is to check out
the latest trunk sandbox demo!
To open it you simply have to set a small javascript on an onclick (the
javascript var can be defined, otherwise it is automatically determined)
Then you have three ways to get the values back:
a) either use a form submit (from a form within the dialog)
you can use partial page rendering to avoid page refreshes
b) move the values from the dialog into the master view, the javascript way
c) go the full refresh cycle, by simple using jsfs submit mechanisms
either way, you have to be aware, that the dialog has to be defined
outside of a form, this is a javascript limitation which is caused by a
severe ie positioning bug (the ie expects floating elements at the end
of the begin of a body otherwise the positioning fails under certain
conditions)
so you have to embed the form element in the dialog if you want to use it.
If you have multiple forms on the page, you might consider using the
saveState component or the scope component to preserve the values
outside of the forms affected by the refresh!
Anyway, if you can wait for a few days I will do a crud example which
utilizes all this (not the dialog but the floating frames which are very
similar) to achieve a rich client behavior within a web ui.
I already have reserved my weekend to do the demo.
