      • setFitInWindow

        public void setFitInWindow​(boolean fitInWindow)

        Sets whether the overlay should be moved or shrunk to fit inside the window.

        When this is false, the default PopupPanel behavior is used, which tries to position the popup primarly below and to the right of a reference UIObject and, if there is not enough space, above or to the left.

        When this is true, the popup will be moved up/left in case it does not fit on either side. If the popup is larger than the window, it will be shrunk to fit and assume that scrolling e.g. using overflow:auto, is taken care of by the overlay user.

        Parameters:

        fitInWindow - true to ensure that no part of the popup is outside the visible view, false to use the default PopupPanel behavior

        Since:

        7.6.6

      • isFitInWindow

        public boolean isFitInWindow()
