RE: JavaScript and Dialog Framework
Hi I have successfully launched a dialog from a javascript. I can get the
correct FacesContext objects. Problem now is how do I setup a
returnListener for the Dialog. The Dialog is launched during an onblur
event of an InputText. So I'm planning to extend the CoreInputText
component and implement it as a DialogSource. Do you have any suggestion on
where can I start doing this? What are the steps needed?

Yes, I know, if only the component was an ActionSource, then things would be
a little bit easy.

Actually that will work only if your component launching the dialog isan
ActionSource, as I mentioned in my first replies.

Re: JavaScript and Dialog Framework
Posted by Adam Winer <aw...@gmail.com>.
All you need to do is:
- Override decode(), and add:
RequestContext rc = RequestContext.getCurrentInstance();
ReturnEvent event = rc.getDialogService().getReturnEvent(this);
if (event != null)
... handle the return event
