All, Ok, so I'm still, after a bit of hiatus, trying to create a Window- type of class that extends DialogBox. I'm going to call it MyWindow for now.
I'm MOST of the way there. I've been able to create a Caption class that will have minimize, maximize, and close buttons. I've been able to get it to change the cursor for a resizable MyWindow - though I haven't yet implemented the code that does the resizing. The real roadblock I have right now is how to bring one of the MyWindow objects to the front of the others. Normally, DialogBox will have the most recently shown one in front of previous ones. Now, they ALL seem to have a z-index of 0. Yet, obviously, there are some on top of others. For the MyWindow class, I want to be able to click on one of these objects, and have it brought to the front. Two solutions I've tried have drawbacks that make them non-viable solutions. 1 - If I rely on incrementing the zIndex, other objects, such as menu items in a MenuBar, wind up being concealed by any MyWindow that's in the area. 2 - Using the hide() followed by show() in an override of onBrowserEvent solved that problem, but introduced issues with being unable to focus on certain components inside the MyWindow. I have detailed what I've encountered in the thread "DialogBoxes and MenuBars . . . zIndexing a bad thing?" located at: http://groups.google.com/group/google-web-toolkit/browse_thread/thread/9a819fd58c9a15bb/ea04ac89956cda4c So, my question - how do I get around this? How can I get true window- like behavior, being able to pop a MyWindow up in front of other MyWindow objects, without these unintended side-effects? Any help on this matter would be GREATLY appreciated! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
