public interface ModalMgr

Class Name : ModalMgr Diagram : Wicket Generic Modal Windows Project : Echobase framework Type : interface Manages the allocation and deallocation of modal windows. An application implements this method (typically in a base Page class) and provides for 'n' modalWindows. The markup for that base class should include the appropriate number of modal window . For example if the maxumum depth of modal windows was n = 2 then the base class markup should have:

and the constructor of the ModalMgr implementor should contain code like this: // Establish the ModalWindows modalContentWindows = new ModalContentWindow[MAX_MODALS]; for (int m = 0; m < MAX_MODALS; m++) { ModalContentWindow modalWindow = new PbModalWindow(this, "modalWindow_" + m, true); modalWindow.setInitialWidth(600); modalWindow.setInitialHeight(400); body.add(modalWindow); modalContentWindows[m] = modalWindow; }

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
ModalContentWindow	allocateModalWindow() Allocates a ModalContentWindow.

void	releaseModalWindow(ModalContentWindow modalContentWindow) Releases a ModalContentWindow

Method Detail

preShow

void preShow(ModalContentPanel modalContentPanel)

Notifies the ModalMgr of that a ModelContentWindow is about to show. The method can perform work like setting the markup variation to be used for the ModalContentPanel via a call to ModalContentPanel.setVariation(String), among other things NOTE: This method replaces the old trackModalVisit(IWicketModalVisit) method as that was very specific to tracking and there are more things that are likely to be required than just visit tracking so the name and parameter was changed. To implement previous trackModalVisit behaviour call modalContentPanel.createModalVisit(); and do whatever you previously did with the IWicketModalVisit object that was created

releaseModalWindow

void releaseModalWindow(ModalContentWindow modalContentWindow)

Releases a ModalContentWindow

allocateModalWindow

ModalContentWindow allocateModalWindow()

Allocates a ModalContentWindow.
