I have a full-screen form (using popup) which contains a button that launches a child form. I read that I have to set the child form as popup to make it stay on top. I've done that, but it is still not working. After more googling around, I found out that it's not working because the parent form is also set to popup. How to solve this problem with maintaining the parent form in full screen mode?
As I understood, you need to open child form and it should stay above main form. Both forms should be popup, but if the size of child form will be less than main form, user can click on main form and child form disappears under main one even if child form has Modal property. If you don't want this, just open child form with acDialog WindowMode parameter.

I have a multistep Drupal 7 form. I'd like to show it in a Bootstrap Popup.
This form works fine on a normal page however when I put it into a Bootstrap popup it closes the popup when the first button is pressed.
I use drupal_render(drupal_get_form('MYFORMNAME_form')) to put the form into the popup body.
How can I make this multistep form work properly in the popup?
when you say bootstrap popup, do you mean a modal window (http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#modals)? Modals in bootstrap are defined inside the body of the page and just hidden/shown as needed. If you want one to act as its own window, you need an iframe in it, because submitting the form will not trigger whatever mechanism you put in place to show the modal dialog in the first place.
Another option is to use code to re-show the modal, with the form at whatever stage it is at, with each page load (next button, etc.)
A last option is to do all of the form navigation via AJAX. Then you don't ever need to put the form inside an iframe nor include code to re-show the modal with each submission of the form, since the page never gets refreshed.
IMHO the iframe is easiest, and a decent option if you don't have any qualms about iframes. You just need to place the form in a separate page and include it inside the iframe. Some theming work will enable you to turn off the normal page chrome that will make your modal look like a miniature version of your site -- you probably don't want your header, navbar, footer, etc. inside the modal.
You could use the Popup forms module. It claims:
Works well with multi-step forms. Just don't add [the] "Next" button id to
[the] 'close_buttons' array to keep [the] popup open [when navigating between steps].
This solution is not using a Boostrap Modal ("Bootstrap popup") though rather a jQuery UI dialog. It requires a bit of custom coding to use this module. Example code is provided on the project page.
I have a MS ACCESS 2007 form with 2 subforms. I have a few fields from the main form as text, a few on the second form as text, and a lot on the third form as a variety of things.
My problem with these subforms, when I am entering data in the main form, my mouse scroll works just fine to scroll to the bottom of the form. When I am in subform 1 or 2, my mouse scroll stops working to scroll down to the bottom of the main form. I tried looking up disabling mouse scrolling but that's already preset for a single form view in MS Access 2007. I just want the mouse scroll to work only for the general form even if you are doing data entry into subform 1 and 2.
I know it's been a while since your post. But I've had nearly the same problem and figured it out, so thought I'd post the answer anyway:
If you make an extra textbox in your main form (make sure it's property visible is set to TRUE), then place this textbox behind any other control so to the user it seems like there is no textbox.
Now in the properties of the details selection of the mainform make an onClick event (this occures when you click anywhere in the mainform). In this event use the SetFocus method which redirects to the textbox made earlier. The code looks like this:
[Forms]![MAINFORM]!TEXTBOX.SetFocus
If you click on the form (outside the subforms) the textbox gets selected automatically, which allows you to scroll the main form. The user doesn't see the textbox so it seems as if he/she selected the mainform.
Hope it helped!
I have built a form in which the user can view multiple rows of data pulled from a table. The user has the option to select a row, then pressing a button to reject the data in that row, (to be marked as rejected in some STATUS field).
I have also designed a rejection confirmation dialog with the ability for the user to enter some comments or reason for rejection.
I have set up the dialog canvas to appear on its own window with the Type proeperty set to Dialog.
When the user selects a row to reject, here is the code that gets executed:
BEGIN
GO_BLOCK('BLK_ALL_RECORDS');
FIRST_RECORD;
IF :FRM_ALL_ROWS.CHK_SELECT = 1 THEN
:FRM_REJECTION.ID := :FRM_ALL_ROWS.ID;
GO_BLOCK('BLK_REJECTION');
SHOW_VIEW('CNV_REJECTION');
EXIT;
ELSE
NEXT_RECORD;
END IF;
END;
And the rejection form has two buttons, one to confirm and one to cancel. Let's just focus on the cancel button for now. Here is the code that is executed once the Cancel button is pressed:
:BLK_ALL_ROWS.CHK_SELECT := 0; /* Forces removal of the check mark */
GO_BLOCK('BLK_ALL_RECORDS');
HIDE_VIEW('CNV_REJECTION');
The only problem is : once the dialog form appears, it hides the parent form, until the form is dismissed. How can display the dialog form ontop of the parent form with both of them visible (in a modal way?)
The navigation between different canvases can be little bit tricky to get to work. Hard to say what is the problem with not having the form in front of me but the first thing I should do is making sure that the 'Raise on entry' canvas property of the 'main' canvas is set to 'Yes'. This should force this canvas to be displayed when you are moving the cursor back to block 'BLK_ALL_RECORDS'.
Another alternative could be to use SHOW_VIEW() in the cancel dialog logic to force the main canvas to be displayed.
I found out what was the problem finally.
The parent Window had a property [Hide On Exit] which is defaulted to Yes and that made the parent form disappear everytime another window is on display. I set it to NO and called the other form. This time both windows are visible, with the modal one always on top.
There is parent window, which has a Panel. When user clicks on a button from parent window then a popup opens up. On popup user populates some fields and clicks on OK button then a new row should be created on parent window's panel and set values from popup window and close it.
Any Idea how to do this in GWT? Please post some example if you have. Thanks in advance for your help.
You must create a class representing the Popup and add a field to it referencing the Parent Window. In the constructor of the Popup, you pass the Parent Window as a parameter. When the user clicks ok in the popup, you call the PArent window and ask it to add a row via a method present in the ParentWindow
I have a dojo layout that creates a sidebar on the left with a list of pages and a center area which is a tab container.
When a user double clicks a page in the sidebar, it creates a new closable tab in the center with a form to edit that page (the form is loaded via the href attribute on the ContentPanes, it's a standard Zend Framework request). However, if I open two or more pages, it creates all the elements and form controls with the same dijit IDs which creates conflicts. (This is expected I guess)
Aside from manually appending the current page ID to every element/dijit on the tab contents, does anyone know of a cleaner way for me to do this? Will this be an issue with the form element name attributes still being the same?
I guess the other approach is to not put id's on any of your widgets.
