What's the process/criteria in deciding whether to use createPopUp vs
addPopUp? They seem interchangeable. What is it that you can do with one that
you can't do with the other? Which one do you use the most?
[-] The doc says:
"You can use the addPopUp() method of the PopUpManager to create a pop-up
window without defining a custom component." Can't you do that with createPopUp
as well?
[-] The doc also says "...Using the addPopUp() method may be preferable to
using the createPopUp()
method if you have to pop up a simple dialog box that is never reused
elsewhere. However, it is not the best coding practice if the pop-up is
complex or cannot be reused elsewhere..."
It doesn't really explain why it's not the best practice if the pop-up is
complex or cannot be reused elsewhere.
To me it seems to be more convenient to use addPopUp because I can do whatever
I want to the dialog instance before I pass it to addPopup( ) but that's more
theorizing than from actual field experience.
