Hey, DialogBox is the simplest thing that will work here. The only downside to it is that it is not re-sizable. If you know the content will be some kind of UI form you create and the form fields are constant and the content is relatively small, dialog box works perfect here. I would set the X, Y coordinates that you spawn the form at, however -- otherwise, it can sometimes be off the viewable canvas. I know you checked my paging scroll table demo out -- if you click any row there it uses DialogBox to pop it up. You can put a Save/Cancel button on it, etc. to do what you want, and make it modal (or not).
Hope that helps, Davis On Sun, Nov 22, 2009 at 9:03 PM, Open eSignForms <[email protected]> wrote: > There are several objects I have where from the list of objects, when > one is selected, I'd like to simply open up a new window (DialogBox?) > that can popup within the browser window to show the details about the > selected object, allowing it to be viewed in full, modified/saved, > create a new object like it, or delete it. > > Is there a GWT widget that's geared for this, with a "close" box in > the upper right corner, etc.?
