RE: Genero Web Front End and popups dialog box - how to ?

Hi,

I actually got it to work after sending out my previous email. I was missing
the following 2 lines in my customized template before the closing </form>
tag :

      <div gwc:replace="dialog" />

      <div gwc:replace="menu" />


Thanks.


Fred

Hi,


The pop up box does not show at all or is it hidden ?
Do you use the path window/menu or menu in your template ?
Could you send us a sample application with your template and maybe the CSS
file ?

I presume that you have support with your genero license.
Are you interested in joining gwc-customers mailing list ? It is a dedicated

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. I did manage to get the dialog to pop up (via
MENU and stylesheet) like a real popup box. However, this leads me to
another problem :

When I am using the default html template that came with the installation,
i.e., leaving the line

                     <div gwc:replace="window"></div>

intact in the default html template file, then the dialog box pops up
nicely. But when I am using my own customized template html (replacing the
above line with Template Language codes to show the content of the screen
differently), the dialog box does not pop up. Am I missing something in my
customized template ?



Fred

Hi,


This is on our request list (request #0007).
For the moment what you can do is:
- either make a OPEN WINDOW in your 4GL but this replace the entire page.
- either use a MENU with a user style. The menu will be displayed on top of
your current html page.
Example:
menu "dialog" attributes (image="smiley", style="dialog", comment="Do you
want quit ?")
  command "yes"
    let act = "yes"
  on action no
    let act = "no"
  on action quit
    let act = "quit"
end menu

The menu style becomes "gStyleDialog" class at html generation. So you can
adapt this class to display a layer on top of the current page. You can use
the following styles:

.gStyleDialog {
     
     position: absolute;
     left: 50%;
     top: 10%;
     right: auto;
     
    
     background-color: red;
     border: 2px solid buttonshadow;
     border-top-color: buttonhighlight;
     border-left-color: buttonhighlight;
    }
    
    .gStyleDialog .gMenuTitle {
      display:block;
    }
    
    .gStyleDialog IMG {
      top: 10%;
      display: block;
      margin: 1em 1em 0em 1em;
    }
    
    .gStyleDialog UL {
     padding: 0.5em;
     text-align: center;
    }

    .gStyleDialog LI {
     
     display: inline;
    }


Many regards,

Subject: [fourjs-users] Genero Web Front End and popups dialog box - how to
?


Hi all,

In the Genero Web Front End, is there any way to pop up a confirmation
dialog box on top of the browser window which the user is working on ? What
I would like to do is that after the user made changes to a screenful of
information on the browser window (using a default html template) but then
clicked the "Cancel" button on the top toolbar, I want to pop up a dialog
box to ask him/her to confirm the cancellation. If  the user picks "Yes",
then the 4GL code will discard the modification. If "No", then the 4GL code
will CONTINUE INPUT.

>From what I have found so far in the documentation, Web Front End only
supports SDI and such a popup is not possible.


Thanks.


Fred
