Detailed Description

A WDialog shows a dialog.

By default, the dialog is modal. A modal window blocks the user interface, and does not allow the user to interact with any other part of the user interface until the dialog is closed (this is enforced at the server side, so you may rely on this behavior).

A modal dialog can be instantiated synchronously or asynchronously. A non-modal dialog can only be instantiated asynchronously.

When using a dialog asynchronously, there is no API call that waits for the dialog to be closed. Then, the usage is similar to instantiating any other widget. The dialog may be closed by calling accept(), reject() or done() (or connecting a signal to one of these methods). This will hide the dialog and emit the finished() signal, which you then can listen for to process the dialog result and delete the dialog. Unlike other widgets, a dialog does not need to be added to a parent widget, but is hidden by default. You must use the method show() or setHidden(false) to show the dialog.

The synchronous use of a dialog involves a call to exec() which will block (suspend the thread) until the dialog window is closed, and return the dialog result. Events within dialog are handled using a so-called recursive event loop. Typically, an OK button will be connected to accept(), and in some cases a StandardButton::Cancel button to reject(). This solution has the drawback that it is not scalable to many concurrent sessions, since for every session with a recursive event loop, a thread is locked until exec() returns. A thread that is locked by a recursive event loop cannot be used to process requests from another sessions. When all threads in the threadpool are locked in recursive event loops, the server will be unresponsive to requests from any other session. In practical terms, this means you must not use exec(), unless your application will never be used by more concurrent users than the amount of threads in your threadpool (like on some intranets or extranets). Using exec() is not supported from outside the regular event loop (i.e. when taking a lock on a session using WApplication::getUpdateLock() or by posting an event using WServer::post()). Use setModal(false) to create a non-modal dialog. A non-modal dialog does not block the underlying user interface: the user must not first deal with the dialog before interacting with the rest of the user interface.

Contents for the dialog is defined by adding it to the contents() widget.

Usage example, using the exec() method (not recommended):

Wt::WDialog dialog("Personalia");
dialog.contents()->addWidget(std::make_unique<Wt::WText>("Enter your name: "));
dialog.contents()->addWidget(std::make_unique<Wt::WLineEdit>());
dialog.contents()->addWidget(std::make_unique<Wt::WBreak>());
dialog.contents()->addWidget(std::make_unique<Wt::WPushButton>("Ok"));
// these events will accept() the Dialog
edit.enterPressed().connect(&dialog, &Wt::WDialog::accept);
ok.clicked().connect(&dialog, &Wt::WDialog::accept);
if (dialog.exec() == Wt::WDialog::Accepted)
setStatus("Welcome, " + edit.text());
A WDialog shows a dialog.
Definition: WDialog.h:138
virtual void accept()
Closes the dialog, with result is Accepted.
Definition: WDialog.C:550

Usage example, using the asynchronous method (recommended):

void MyClass::showDialog()
{
dialog_ = addChild(std::make_unique<Wt::WDialog>("Personalia"));
dialog_->contents()->addWidget(std::make_unique<Wt::WText>("Enter your name: "));
edit_ = dialog_->contents()->addWidget(std::make_unique<Wt::WLineEdit>());
dialog_->contents()->addWidget(std::make_unique<Wt::WBreak>());
Wt::WPushButton *ok = dialog_->contents()->addWidget(std::make_unique<Wt::WPushButton>("Ok"));
// these events will accept() the Dialog
ok->clicked().connect(dialog_, &Wt::WDialog::accept);
dialog_->finished().connect(this, &MyClass::dialogDone);
dialog_->show();
}
void MyClass::dialogDone(DialogCode code)
{
if (code == Wt::WDialog::Accepted)
setStatus("Welcome, " + edit_->text());
removeChild(dialog_);
}
Wt::Signals::connection connect(F function)
Connects to a function.
Definition: WSignal.h:810
EventSignal & enterPressed()
Event signal emitted when enter was pressed.
Definition: WInteractWidget.C:89
EventSignal< WMouseEvent > & clicked()
Event signal emitted when the primary mouse button was clicked on this widget.
Definition: WInteractWidget.C:99
void addChild(std::unique_ptr< WObject > child)
Add a child WObject whose lifetime is determined by this WObject.
Definition: WObject.C:36
std::unique_ptr< WObject > removeChild(WObject *child)
Remove a child WObject, so its lifetime is no longer determined by this WObject.
Definition: WObject.C:41
A widget that represents a push button.
Definition: WPushButton.h:42
DialogCode
The result of a modal dialog execution.
Definition: WDialog.h:20

This dialog looks like this (using the default css themes):

A simple custom dialog (default)
A simple custom dialog (polished)
Note
For the dialog (or rather, the silkscreen covering the user interface below) to render properly in IE, the "html body" margin is set to 0 (if it wasn't already).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ WDialog() [1/2]

Wt::WDialog::WDialog ( )

Constructs a new dialog.

Unlike other widgets, the dialog does not require a parent container since it is a top-level widget.

◆ WDialog() [2/2]

Wt::WDialog::WDialog ( const WString windowTitle)

Constructs a dialog with a given window title.

Unlike other widgets, the dialog does not require a parent container since it is a top-level widget.

Member Function Documentation

◆ accept()

void Wt::WDialog::accept ( )
virtual

Closes the dialog, with result is Accepted.

See also
done(DialogCode r), reject()

◆ contents()

WContainerWidget* Wt::WDialog::contents ( ) const

Returns the dialog contents container.

Content to the dialog window may be added to this container widget.

◆ done()

void Wt::WDialog::done ( DialogCode  r)
virtual

Stops the dialog.

Sets the dialog result, and emits the finished() signal.

If a recursive event loop was started using the exec() method, it is ended.

See also
finished(), result()

◆ enterPressed()

EventSignal & Wt::WDialog::enterPressed ( )

Event signal emitted when enter was pressed.

The event will be triggered if nothing in the WDialog has focus

See also
WInteractiveWidget::enterPressed

◆ escapePressed()

EventSignal & Wt::WDialog::escapePressed ( )

Event signal emitted when escape was pressed.

The event will be triggered if nothing in the WDialog has focus

See also
WInteractiveWidget::escapePressed

◆ exec()

DialogCode Wt::WDialog::exec ( const WAnimation animation = WAnimation())

Executes the dialog in a recursive event loop.

Executes the dialog synchronously. This blocks the current thread of execution until one of done(DialogCode), accept() or reject() is called.

Warning: using exec() does not scale to many concurrent sessions, since the thread is locked until exec returns, so the entire server will be unresponsive when the thread pool is exhausted.

See also
done(DialogCode r), accept(), reject()

◆ finished()

Signal<DialogCode>& Wt::WDialog::finished ( )

Signal emitted when the dialog is closed.

See also
done(DialogCode r), accept(), reject()

◆ footer()

WContainerWidget * Wt::WDialog::footer ( ) const

Returns the dialog footer container.

This is an optional section which is typically used for buttons.

◆ isModal()

bool Wt::WDialog::isModal ( ) const

Returns whether the dialog is modal.

See also
setModal()

◆ isTitleBarEnabled()

bool Wt::WDialog::isTitleBarEnabled ( ) const

Returns whether the title bar is enabled.

See also
setTitleBarEnabled()

◆ keyPressed()

EventSignal< WKeyEvent > & Wt::WDialog::keyPressed ( )

Event signal emitted when a "character" was entered.

The event will be triggered if nothing in the WDialog has focus

See also
WInteractiveWidget::keyPressed

◆ keyWentDown()

EventSignal< WKeyEvent > & Wt::WDialog::keyWentDown ( )

Event signal emitted when a keyboard key is pushed down.

The event will be triggered if nothing in the WDialog has focus

See also
WInteractiveWidget::keyWentDown

◆ keyWentUp()

EventSignal< WKeyEvent > & Wt::WDialog::keyWentUp ( )

Event signal emitted when a keyboard key is released.

The event will be triggered if nothing in the WDialog has focus

See also
WInteractiveWidget::keyWentUp

◆ movable()

bool Wt::WDialog::movable ( ) const

Returns whether the dialog can be moved.

See also
setMovable()

◆ moved()

JSignal<int, int>& Wt::WDialog::moved ( )

Signal emitted when the dialog is being moved by the user.

The information passed are the new x and y position (relative to the wietdow).

◆ positionAt()

void Wt::WDialog::positionAt ( const WWidget widget,
Orientation  orientation = Orientation::Vertical 
)
overridevirtual

Positions a widget next to another widget.

Positions this absolutely positioned widget next to another widget. Both widgets must be visible (including all their ancestors). The current widget is shown automatically if needed.

When orientation = Wt::Orientation::Vertical, the widget is displayed below the other widget (or above in case there is not enough room below). It is aligned so that the left edges align (or the right edges if there is not enough room to the right).

Conversely, when orientation = Wt::Orientation::Horizontal, the widget is displayed to the right of the other widget (or to the left in case there is not enough room to the right). It is aligned so that the top edges align (or the bottom edges if there is not enough room below).

Note
This only works if JavaScript is available.

Reimplemented from Wt::WWidget.

◆ reject()

void Wt::WDialog::reject ( )
virtual

Closes the dialog, with result is Rejected.

See also
done(DialogCode r), accept()

◆ rejectWhenEscapePressed()

void Wt::WDialog::rejectWhenEscapePressed ( bool  enable = true)

Lets pressing the escape key reject the dialog.

Before Wt 3.1.5, pressing escape automatically rejected the dialog. Since 3.1.4 this behaviour is no longer the default since it may interfere with other functionality in the dialog. Use this method to enable this behaviour.

See also
reject()

◆ render()

void Wt::WDialog::render ( WFlags< RenderFlag flags)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Renders the widget.

This function renders the widget (or an update for the widget), after this has been scheduled using scheduleRender().

The default implementation will render the widget by serializing changes to JavaScript and HTML. You may want to reimplement this widget if you have been postponing some of the layout / rendering implementation until the latest moment possible. In that case you should make sure you call the base implementation however.

Reimplemented from Wt::WPopupWidget.

◆ resizable()

bool Wt::WDialog::resizable ( ) const

Returns whether the dialog has a resize handle.

See also
setResizable()

◆ resized()

JSignal<int, int>& Wt::WDialog::resized ( )

Signal emitted when the dialog is being resized by the user.

The information passed are the new width and height.

See also
setResizable()

◆ result()

DialogCode Wt::WDialog::result ( ) const

Returns the result that was set for this dialog.

done(DialogCode r)

◆ setAutoFocus()

void Wt::WDialog::setAutoFocus ( bool  enable)

Set focus on the first widget in the dialog.

Autofocus is enabled by default. If a widget inside of this dialog already has focus, the focus will not be changed.

◆ setClosable()

void Wt::WDialog::setClosable ( bool  closable)

Adds a close button to the titlebar.

The close button is shown in the title bar. Clicking the close button will reject the dialog.

◆ setHidden()

void Wt::WDialog::setHidden ( bool  hidden,
const WAnimation animation = WAnimation() 
)
overridevirtual

Hides or shows the widget.

Hides or show the widget (including all its descendant widgets). When setting hidden = false, this widget and all descendant widgets that are not hidden will be shown. A widget is only visible if it and all its ancestors in the widget tree are visible, which may be checked using isVisible().

Note
hide() and show() are considered to be stateless slots by default. If you override setHidden() and need to modify server state whenever it is called, you'll need to call WObject::isNotStateless().

Reimplemented from Wt::WPopupWidget.

Reimplemented in Wt::WMessageBox.

◆ setMaximumSize()

void Wt::WDialog::setMaximumSize ( const WLength width,
const WLength height 
)
overridevirtual

Sets a maximum size.

Specifies a maximum size for this widget, setting CSS max-width and max-height properties.

The default the maximum width and height are WLength::Auto, indicating no maximum size. A LengthUnit::Percentage size should not be used, as this is (in virtually all cases) undefined behaviour.

When the widget is a container widget that contains a layout manager, then setting a maximum size will have the effect of letting the size of the container to reflect the preferred size of the contents (rather than constraining the size of the children based on the size of the container), up to the specified maximum size.

Reimplemented from Wt::WCompositeWidget.

◆ setMinimumSize()

void Wt::WDialog::setMinimumSize ( const WLength width,
const WLength height 
)
overridevirtual

Sets a minimum size.

Specifies a minimum size for this widget, setting CSS min-width and min-height properties.

The default minimum width and height is 0. The special value WLength::Auto indicates that the initial width is used as minimum size. A LengthUnit::Percentage size should not be used, as this is (in virtually all cases) undefined behaviour.

When the widget is inserted in a layout manager, then the minimum size will be taken into account.

Reimplemented from Wt::WCompositeWidget.

◆ setModal()

void Wt::WDialog::setModal ( bool  modal)

Sets whether the dialog is modal.

A modal dialog will block the underlying user interface. A modal dialog can be shown synchronously or asynchronously. A non-modal dialog can only be shown asynchronously.

By default a dialog is modal.

◆ setMovable()

void Wt::WDialog::setMovable ( bool  movable)

Allows the dialog to be moved.

The dialog can be moved by grabbing the titlebar.

The default value is true.

◆ setResizable()

void Wt::WDialog::setResizable ( bool  resizable)

Adds a resize handle to the dialog.

The resize handle is shown in the bottom right corner of the dialog, and allows the user to resize the dialog (but not smaller than the content allows).

This also sets the minimum width and height to WLength::Auto to use the initial width and height as minimum sizes. You may want to provide other values for minimum width and height to allow the dialog to be reduced in size.

The default value is false.

setMinimumSize(), setMaximumSize()

◆ setTitleBarEnabled()

void Wt::WDialog::setTitleBarEnabled ( bool  enabled)

Enables or disables the title bar.

The titlebar is enabled by default.

◆ setWindowTitle()

void Wt::WDialog::setWindowTitle ( const WString title)

Sets the dialog window title.

The window title is displayed in the title bar.

See also
setTitleBarEnabled()

◆ titleBar()

WContainerWidget* Wt::WDialog::titleBar ( ) const

Returns the dialog title bar container.

The title bar contains a single text that contains the caption. You may customize the title bar by for example adding other content.

◆ windowTitle()

WString Wt::WDialog::windowTitle ( ) const

Returns the dialog window title.
