public class PopupPanel
extends SimplePanel
implements SourcesPopupEvents, EventPreview, HasAnimation, HasCloseHandlers<PopupPanel>

A panel that can "pop up" over other widgets. It overlays the browser's client area (and any previously-created popups).

A PopupPanel should not generally be added to other panels; rather, it should be shown and hidden using the show() and hide() methods.

The width and height of the PopupPanel cannot be explicitly set; they are determined by the PopupPanel's widget. Calls to setWidth(String) and setHeight(String) will call these methods on the PopupPanel's widget.

The PopupPanel can be optionally displayed with a "glass" element behind it, which is commonly used to gray out the widgets behind it. It can be enabled using setGlassEnabled(boolean). It has a default style name of "gwt-PopupPanelGlass", which can be changed using setGlassStyleName(String).

Example

CSS Style Rules

.gwt-PopupPanel

the outside of the popup

.gwt-PopupPanel .popupContent

the wrapper around the content

.gwt-PopupPanelGlass

the glass background behind the popup

Overrides:

setHeight in class UIObject

Parameters:

height - the object's new height, in CSS units (e.g. "10px", "1em")

top - the top position, in pixels

setPopupPositionAndShow

public void setPopupPositionAndShow(PopupPanel.PositionCallback callback)

Sets the popup's position using a PopupPanel.PositionCallback, and shows the popup. The callback allows positioning to be performed based on the offsetWidth and offsetHeight of the popup, which are normally not available until the popup is showing. By positioning the popup before it is shown, the popup will not jump from its original position to the new position.

Parameters:

callback - the callback to set the position of the popup

See Also:

setPreviewingAllNativeEvents

public void setPreviewingAllNativeEvents(boolean previewAllNativeEvents)

Parameters:

previewAllNativeEvents - true to enable, false to disable
