Plugin Dialogs in web client

Any one know if the plugin dialogs will work in web client?

Hi Juan,

The dialog plugin is not supported in webclient.
To have dialogs you can use a form-in-dialog (FID) and roll your own dialogs.

Hope this helps.

This is not a solution. You are unable to display more than 1 level of dialogs! if you try to show a second level of dialogs the previous dialog will be overwritten.

This is a serious limitation to servoy

That’s not true! if you give every FID a unique name, you can have multiple FID’s in webclient!

yes, I tried and it works…

it’s a pity that this feature is not documented

What else do you need more? http://wiki.servoy.com/display/public/D … rmInDialog

Of course you need more… Do you think it is productive that for each method you check the wiki?? I think NOT! Servoy 5.2 could provide this information right into the developer itself

it does!

if you click the function inside your developer, you see all the options/arguments, at the bottom of your screen
AND there is large tooltip with all the options!
AND did you right click on the function, and select: move sample??

:)

sorry, it does NOT…

In the developer you can not find the information from the wiki. you can not find anywhere saying that if you do not specify the window name all the dialogs will share the same window space… the information I find there is useless…

PLUS: in servoy 3.5 documentation you can not find this feature…so I think this is totally new to servoy 5

It’s there alright.

you do not understand me…

where does it say in the documentation that you have to specify different window names in order to have multiple levels of popups open?

No I do understand you. I am not disputing the fact that nowhere (in any version) it explicitly tells you that a unique window name will keep your dialog open when you open another. Something that Paul Bakker hopefully will pick up on.

But you said that the window name feature was not in 3.5 and that it was a new feature in 5. Which is not true. So I responded to that.

Sorry for the misunderstandings!

All the time I had in mind " I am not disputing the fact that nowhere (in any version) it explicitly tells you that a unique window name will keep your dialog open when you open another. Something that Paul Bakker hopefully will pick up on."

the thing is that what you encounter is backwards compatibility way back the only thing we had was what you described
That the form in dialog was reused if you shown a second form in dialog
This is long by fixed by introducing names dialogs but the old one just works like before… (else that would have broken existing solutions)
