[flexcoders] Re: flex 1.5 : how to lock Application during popup creation process ?

2006-06-02 Thread Suzy Lawson 



You can create a global public variable Boolean that you set to true
when the window is open and set to false when it closeed.

var public isPoppedOpen : Boolean = false;

Then when a user clicks the button, set it to true.
Have logic in your window pop method that checks if this value is
true, if so, then do nothing.

Then in the close button of the PopUp Window, set the variable back to
false;

 well... the popup is created two times ...
 I tried to use, like shown on Flex Explorer Example :
 
 this is called just because calling createPopUp :
 
 function setBlockingCursor() {
 // Create an empty UIObject popup that blocks user input
 inputBlocker = popupWindow(UIObject);
 CursorManager.setBusyCursor();
 }
 
 then with the popup-ed creationcomplete event :
 
 function removeBlockingCursor() {
 // Remove our blocking popup
 inputBlocker.deletePopUp();
 CursorManager.removeBusyCursor();
 }
 
 so I got the cursor but the user still can double click on the
button ...
 
 Any go way to avoid this ?
 
 I also do not understand how I can 'place' the popUp as my application 
 is centered on the window browser ... so using .x = 0 from the
popup it 
 will appear at left when someOtherCanvasInApplication.x = 0 but it 
 rights (relative to its parent)

You can set the 3rd parameter of createPopUp() to true to create a 
modal popup, which will block input in everything in your app other 
than the popup window:

 var myPopUp = PopUpManager.createPopUp(parent, class, true, ...);

You can then center that popup with respect to any component with 
centerPopUp(). For example, to center the popup in the application:

 myPopup.centerPopUp(parentApplication);

Also, you can get a nice dimming effect for the app when a modal 
popup is displayed by using the following:

 new Color(myPopup.modalWindow).setRGB(0x33);
