Class Dialog

  • All Implemented Interfaces:

    AttachNotifier, DetachNotifier, HasComponents, HasElement, HasEnabled, HasSize, HasStyle, HasTheme, Serializable

    @JsModule("./dialogConnector.js") @JsModule("./flow-component-renderer.js")
public class Dialog
extends GeneratedVaadinDialog<Dialog>
implements HasComponents, HasSize, HasTheme, HasStyle

    A Dialog is a small window that can be used to present information and user interface elements in an overlay.

    Dialogs can be made modal or non-modal. A modal Dialog blocks the user from interacting with the rest of the user interface while the Dialog is open, as opposed to a non-modal Dialog, which does not block interaction.

    Dialogs can be made draggable and resizable. When draggable, the user is able to move them around using a pointing device. It is recommended to make non-modal Dialogs draggable so that the user can interact with content that might otherwise be obscured by the Dialog. A resizable Dialog allows the user to resize the Dialog by dragging from the edges of the Dialog with a pointing device. Dialogs are not resizable by default.

    Dialogs automatically become scrollable when their content overflows. Custom scrollable areas can be created using the Scroller component.

    Best Practices:
    Dialogs are disruptive by nature and should be used sparingly. Do not use them to communicate nonessential information, such as success messages like ?Logged in?, ?Copied?, and so on. Instead, use Notifications when appropriate.

      • addDialogCloseActionListener

        public Registration addDialogCloseActionListener​(ComponentEventListener<Dialog.DialogCloseActionEvent> listener)

        Add a listener that controls whether the dialog should be closed or not.

        The listener is informed when the user wants to close the dialog by clicking outside the dialog, or by pressing escape. Then you can decide whether to close or to keep opened the dialog. It means that dialog won't be closed automatically unless you call close() method explicitly in the listener implementation.

        NOTE: adding this listener changes behavior of the dialog. Dialog is closed automatically in case there are no any close listeners. And the close() method should be called explicitly to close the dialog in case there are close listeners.

        Parameters:

        listener -

        Returns:

        registration for removal of listener

        See Also:

        close()

      • addResizeListener

        public Registration addResizeListener​(ComponentEventListener<Dialog.DialogResizeEvent> listener)

        Adds a listener that is called after user finishes resizing the overlay. It is called only if resizing is enabled (see setResizable(boolean)).

        Parameters:

        listener -

        Returns:

        registration for removal of listener

      • isCloseOnEsc

        public boolean isCloseOnEsc()

        Gets whether this dialog can be closed by hitting the esc-key or not.

        By default, the dialog is closable with esc.

        Returns:

        true if this dialog can be closed with the esc-key, false otherwise

      • setCloseOnEsc

        public void setCloseOnEsc​(boolean closeOnEsc)

        Sets whether this dialog can be closed by hitting the esc-key or not.

        By default, the dialog is closable with esc.

      • setCloseOnOutsideClick

        public void setCloseOnOutsideClick​(boolean closeOnOutsideClick)

      • open

        public void open()

        Opens the dialog.

        Note: You don't need to add the dialog component anywhere before opening it. Since <vaadin-dialog>'s location in the DOM doesn't really matter, opening a dialog will automatically add it to the <body> if necessary.

      • close

        public void close()

        Closes the dialog.

        Note: This method also removes the dialog component from the DOM after closing it, unless you have added the component manually.

      • setModal

        public void setModal​(boolean modal)

        Sets whether component will open modal or modeless dialog.

        Note: When dialog is set to be modeless, then it's up to you to provide means for it to be closed (eg. a button that calls close()). The reason being that a modeless dialog allows user to interact with the interface under it and won't be closed by clicking outside or the ESC key.

        Parameters:

        modal - false to enable dialog to open as modeless modal, true otherwise.

      • isModal

        public boolean isModal()

        Gets whether component is set as modal or modeless dialog.

        Returns:

        true if modal dialog (default), false otherwise.

      • setDraggable

        public void setDraggable​(boolean draggable)

        Sets whether dialog is enabled to be dragged by the user or not.

        To allow an element inside the dialog to be dragged by the user (for instance, a header inside the dialog), a class "draggable" can be added to it (see HasStyle.addClassName(String)).

        Note: If draggable is enabled and dialog is opened without first being explicitly attached to a parent, then it won't restore its last position in the case the user closes and opens it again. Reason being that a self attached dialog is removed from the DOM when it's closed and position is not synched.

        Parameters:

        draggable - true to enable dragging of the dialog, false otherwise

      • isDraggable

        public boolean isDraggable()

        Gets whether dialog is enabled to be dragged or not.

        Parameters:

        resizable - true to enabled resizing of the dialog, false otherwise.

      • isResizable

        public boolean isResizable()

        Gets whether dialog is enabled to be resized or not.

        Returns:

        the header object

      • getFooter

        public Dialog.DialogFooter getFooter()
