Detailed Description

Specialized group for creating a set of modal components displayed within a page.


To display a modalGroup, use the modalGroup's <method>show</method> method. Use the zenPage object's <method>endModal</method> to remove the modalGroup.
You can define the contents of a modalGroup in three different ways:

  1. Static mode: The modalGroup is defined within a page definition in the same way as any other group. The contents of the group will be hidden until the <method>show</method> is called.
  2. Dynamic mode: The application creates a modalGroup dynamically (using the page's <method>createComponent</method> method), adds components to it, and displays it with the <method>show</method> method.
  3. Built-in mode: The application uses the <method>show</method> method to display one of the built-in groups: "msgBox" or "calendar".

Member Function Documentation

◆ actionHandler()

actionHandler ( )

This method handles user actions within a pre-defined.

modalGroup.

◆ getModalBodyContent()

getModalBodyContent (   update)

Helper method to get the content for static modalGroups.

If the enclosing div has content, that content is returned, and the enclosing div's content is cleared. If update is true AND the modalBody element for this group exists (i.e. the group has been displayed), then the modalBody's content is updated to the new value.

◆ onCanEndModalHandler()

onCanEndModalHandler ( )

Don't allow the dialog to be closed unless the user explicitly does something.

to close the popup or fire a valid action.

◆ show()

show (   title,
  type,
  value,
  top,
  left,
  wid,
  hgt,
  parms 
)

Make this group visible with modal behavior.


title is the optional title to display for the group. For a static group, the application-defined value of <property>groupTitle</property> is used if title is not supplied.
type is the optional type of modalGroup to display. This can be:

  • "msgBox"-display the built-in message box.
  • "calendar"-display the built-in calendar box.
  • "dynamic"-display a dynamically created modalGroup.
  • "static"-display a modalGroup that has been defined as part of the page.
  • "dialog"-display the page with the URL supplied in value

in an iframe. If omitted, then the type will be "static" if the modalGroup has been defined within the page object otherwise "dynamic".
value is an optional value to display when a built-in modalGroup is used.
top,left,wid, and hgt are optional position and dimensions to use for the modalGroup.
parms is an optional object containing a set of additional characteristics passed on to the modalGroup (as a set of name/value pairs). Basically this is a way to pass additional parameters to the popup calendar.

◆ toggleDragMouseTrap()

toggleDragMouseTrap (   show)

Toggle "visibility" of dragMouseTrap.

The trap should be completely transparent

but allows the component to trap mouse events reliably during drag operations.
