Hi,
I am trying to set the location of a dialog box so that it will appear
as close as possible to a table column that was clicked. The purpose is
that the columns are searchable so I would like the dialog in which the
user is going to enter the text they are searching for to 'pop-up' next
to the column they are searching on.
My applet that is contained within a frame in my webapp. I am able to
create an event and send the point that is clicked to the server-side
but the point is relative to the table. I have yet to figure out how to
set the location of the dialog using this point. I have also tried
setLocationRelativeTo(ULCTable) but this does not set it close to the
header or the column.
I have overridden UITableHeader in order to fire off the event but I
have been unsuccessful in setting the actual header as one of the args
in the event. When I add the event source as an arg I get an error on
the client side:
'No coder registered for class
com.ulcjava.base.client.UITableHeader.BasicTableHeader'
If I do not try to send the actual event source from the client to the
server it all works fine, except that I can not set the location of the
dialog where I want it.
Following is the event code in my UITableHeader:
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent event) {
JTableHeader header = (JTableHeader)getBasicComponent();
int colIndex = header.columnAtPoint(event.getPoint());
TableColumnModel model = header.getColumnModel();
TableColumn col = model.getColumn(colIndex);
Object[] args = new Object[4];
args[0] = event.getPoint();
args[1] = event.getSource().toString();
args[2] = col.getModelIndex();
args[3] = event.getSource(); //This causes an error on the
client side
fireMandatoryEventULC("foo", "foo", args);
Following is the code in my dispatcher:
protected class ComboSortedTableHeaderDispatcher extends
ULCTableHeaderDispatcher{
public EventObject createFooEvent
(com.ulcjava.base.application.util.Point p, String source, int col,
UITableHeader.BasicTableHeader header){
ComboSortedHeaderEvent event = new ComboSortedHeaderEvent
(source, "foo");
event.setPoint(p);
event.setColumn(getTable().getColumnModel().getColumn(col));
event.setTable(getTable());
return event;
}
Thank you for any suggestions in advance.
