Re: [Tobago] a listbox in a popup

[Helmut Swaczinna]

Hi Tobi,

I think it should work with an ActionListener but I prefer to use Actions 
for buttons. In this case returning
null or void. One reason for not calling the ActionListener may be a wrong 
method signature. Must be
public void onNew(ActionEvent e).
Case 4: The id in the renderedPartially attribute is wrong. First, the box 
is not a naming container, so it is not
part of the id, and second, the listbox is not an Ajax component (afaik), so 
it must be enclosed in a panel or just
the box you already have.

Hope that helps
Helmut

Hi Helmut,

thanks for the fast answer. I tried your suggestion, but it still doesn't 
work. Here are my further tries:

Case 3 (see code from the first mail except the part wiht the "Add" 
button)
I changed this part of the code:

<tc:attribute name="renderedPartially" value=":page:popup:box" />

The box seems to be reloaded (for a second I can see the scrollbar), but 
without the new value should be added over the onNew method 
(ActionListener).
If I look into my logs the method is never called, but why? It is only 
called if I drop the renderedPartially attribute.


Case 4
<tc:attribute name="renderedPartially" value=":page:popup:box:listbox" />
Here the popup doesn't even show up.

By the way I am using Tobago 1.0.16


Thanks for any help.
Tobi

Hi,

you should render partially the box or panel inside the popup not the 
popup itself when the App button is clicked.

Hi All,

I have a problem with building a popup with a listbox.

Case 1 (see code below):
If  I click on the "Add" button the popup will be partially rendered, 
but without the new entry inside the listbox. The new entry should be 
added by the actionListener.

Case 2 (also code below, but without the attribute tag inside the "Add" 
button tags):
If I drop the tag <tc:attribute name="renderedPartially" 
value=":page:popup" /> within the "Add" button tags, the popup 
disappears after clicking on the button "Add". I can open it again and 
the new entry is available, but this is not very user-friendly.

For me it seems that the combination of actionListener and 
renderedPartially doesn't work.

<tc:popup id="popup" width="300px" height="200px" >
               <tc:box id="box" label="Author input">
                   <f:facet name="layout">
                       <tc:gridLayout rows="*;50px"/>
                   </f:facet>

                   <tc:selectOneListbox id="listbox"
                       value="#{author.selectedAuthor}">
                       <f:selectItems value="#{author.authors}" />
                   </tc:selectOneListbox>

                  <tc:panel id="buttons">
                       <f:facet name="layout">
                           <tc:gridLayout columns="*;*;*" />
                       </f:facet>
                      <tc:button actionListener="#{author.onNew}" 
label="Add">
                           <tc:attribute name="renderedPartially" 
value=":page:popup" />
                       </tc:button>


                       <tc:button label="Ok">
                           <tc:attribute name="popupClose" 
value="afterSubmit" />
                           <tc:attribute name="renderedPartially" 
value=":page:popup" />
                       </tc:button>

                       <tc:button label="Cancel">
                           <tc:attribute name="popupClose" 
value="immediate" />
                       </tc:button>
                       <tc:cell />
                   </tc:panel>

               </tc:box>
</tc:popup>

Thanks for any helping.
