Retrieve a Page With Ajax Request
The key to integrating the tooltip dialog with WPF is to leverage the href attribute available for the widget. This provides the widget with a mechanism to retrieve the HTML we'd like to display in the dialog, in our case we want the URL to a page. Here's the java that we can use to generate that URL (see this entry for more):
JSPSupport.getActionURL(webAppAccess, webAppAccess.getBackchannelURLMapper(false), "keep_page:lm.page1")
Now let's throw together some HTML for the page builder that will display the dialog:
<html> <head><title>Default Test Page</title></head> <body> <div id="tooltipDialog" dojoType="dijit.TooltipDialog" style="display:none" onBlur='dijit.popup.close(this)'/> <div id='dialogTarget' onclick='showOrders()'>Show tooltip here</div> </body> </html>
Note that we're using declarative markup to create the tooltip instead of javascript, and then setting its style to display:none. This is easier because it enables us to use an attribute setter builder to set the href:
Note here the last parameter is the page that we want to display, in my case I'm using a linked model to one of my previous blog entries referenced as lm so I have keep_page:lm.page1.
Finally, we have to add a dojo enable builder that will bring in the required package dijit.TooltipDialog and we'll add a little bit of javascript to display the tooltip when an element is clicked:
function showOrders(){
var tooltipdialog = dijit.byId('tooltipDialog');
dijit.popup.open({ popup: tooltipdialog, around: dojo.byId("dialogTarget") });
}
The result looks like this, and unlike the dojo tooltip builder, we can interact with the contents of the dialog - in this case linked order numbers:

ReplyDeleteI impliented sme think in x-pages. It working fine
ReplyDeletei posted source code. it will useful for someone else who need to know popup in x-pages
Hi Carl,
ReplyDeleteVery useful example!
I'm having a similar use case, but in mine, I need to pass 2 parameters to the Dialog. Do you have any suggestion how to do that? The params are column and row headers, but they dynamically change at run time, every time the page is rendered.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Mariano.
