modelessDialog (CAF Tags Documentation)

Description:

A panel that encapsulates the style and behavior of a modeless dialog. A modeless dialog allows the user to continue to manipulate controls outside of the dialog, without having to choose an option in the dialog, usually by clicking a button, right away. The behavior of a Modeless Dialog is less restrictive than a Modal Dialog, which requires the user to make a selection before performing actions outside the dialog box. The Modeless Dialog control is initially hidden.

Like other hideable controls, you can switch this control between visible and hidden through the use of client-side JavaScript code. For more information, see the topics "Hideable Controls" and "Toggle Controls" in the section "User Interface Controls Concepts" in the webMethods CAF Development Help.

This control has four facets: title, submit, cancel, and other. The last three facets are intended to encapsulate the default layout for the submit, cancel, and miscellaneous other buttons. For example, if you place a Cancel button in the cancel facet, and an OK button in the submit facet, by default the modeless dialog lays out the cancel button in the far-right corner of the dialog, with the OK button directly to its left. The title facet is intended to display a title for the dialog.

Children

Any. Children of this control are displayed as the dialog's content.
