public class Window
extends Panel
implements FieldEvents.FocusNotifier, FieldEvents.BlurNotifier, Vaadin6Component

A component that represents a floating popup window that can be added to a Root. A window is added to a Root using Root.addWindow(Window).

The contents of a window is set using Panel.setContent(ComponentContainer) or by using the Window(String, ComponentContainer) constructor. The contents can in turn contain other components. By default, a VerticalLayout is used as content.

A window can be positioned on the screen using absolute coordinates (pixels) or set to be centered using center()

The caption is displayed in the window header.

In Vaadin versions prior to 7.0.0, Window was also used as application level windows. This function is now covered by the Root class.

Since:

3.0

variables - the Mapping from variable names to new variable values.

See Also:

VariableOwner.changeVariables(Object, Map)

close

public void close()

Method that handles window closing (from UI).

By default, sub-windows are removed from their respective parent windows and thus visually closed on browser-side. Browser-level windows also closed on the client-side, but they are not implicitly removed from the application.

To explicitly close a sub-window, use #removeWindow(Window). To react to a window being closed (after it is closed), register a Window.CloseListener.

getPositionX

public int getPositionX()

Gets the distance of Window left border in pixels from left border of the containing (main window).

Returns:

the Distance of Window left border in pixels from left border of the containing (main window). or -1 if unspecified.

Since:

4.0.0

setPositionX

public void setPositionX(int positionX)

Sets the distance of Window left border in pixels from left border of the containing (main window).

Parameters:

positionX - the Distance of Window left border in pixels from left border of the containing (main window). or -1 if unspecified.

Since:

4.0.0

getPositionY

public int getPositionY()

Gets the distance of Window top border in pixels from top border of the containing (main window).

Returns:

Distance of Window top border in pixels from top border of the containing (main window). or -1 if unspecified .

Since:

4.0.0

setPositionY

public void setPositionY(int positionY)

Sets the distance of Window top border in pixels from top border of the containing (main window).

Parameters:

positionY - the Distance of Window top border in pixels from top border of the containing (main window). or -1 if unspecified

Since:

4.0.0

addListener

public void addListener(Window.CloseListener listener)

Adds a CloseListener to the window. For a sub window the CloseListener is fired when the user closes it (clicks on the close button). For a browser level window the CloseListener is fired when the browser level window is closed. Note that closing a browser level window does not mean it will be destroyed. Also note that Opera does not send events like all other browsers and therefore the close listener might not be called if Opera is used.

Since Vaadin 6.5, removing windows using #removeWindow(Window) does fire the CloseListener.

Parameters:

listener - the CloseListener to add.

removeListener

public void removeListener(Window.CloseListener listener)

Removes the CloseListener from the window.

For more information on CloseListeners see Window.CloseListener.

Parameters:

listener - the CloseListener to remove.

fireClose

protected void fireClose()

addListener

public void addListener(Window.ResizeListener listener)

Add a resize listener.

Parameters:

listener -

removeListener

public void removeListener(Window.ResizeListener listener)

Remove a resize listener.

Parameters:

listener -

fireResize

protected void fireResize()

Fire the resize event.

bringToFront

public void bringToFront()

If there are currently several windows visible, calling this method makes this window topmost.

This method can only be called if this window connected a root. Else an illegal state exception is thrown. Also if there are modal windows and this window is not modal, and illegal state exception is thrown.

setModal

public void setModal(boolean modal)

Sets sub-window modal, so that widgets behind it cannot be accessed. Note: affects sub-windows only.

Parameters:

modal - true if modality is to be turned on

isModal

public boolean isModal()

Returns:

true if this window is modal.

setResizable

public void setResizable(boolean resizable)

Sets sub-window resizable. Note: affects sub-windows only.

Parameters:

resizable - true if resizability is to be turned on

isResizable

public boolean isResizable()

Returns:

true if window is resizable by the end-user, otherwise false.

isResizeLazy

public boolean isResizeLazy()

Returns:

true if a delay is used before recalculating sizes, false if sizes are recalculated immediately.

setResizeLazy

public void setResizeLazy(boolean resizeLazy)

Should resize operations be lazy, i.e. should there be a delay before layout sizes are recalculated. Speeds up resize operations in slow UIs with the penalty of slightly decreased usability. Note, some browser send false resize events for the browser window and are therefore always lazy.

Parameters:

resizeLazy - true to use a delay before recalculating sizes, false to calculate immediately.

center

public void center()

Sets this window to be centered relative to its parent window. Affects sub-windows only. If the window is resized as a result of the size of its content changing, it will keep itself centered as long as its position is not explicitly changed programmatically or by the user.

NOTE: This method has several issues as currently implemented. Please refer to http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/8971 for details.

isClosable

public boolean isClosable()

Returns the closable status of the sub window. If a sub window is closable it typically shows an X in the upper right corner. Clicking on the X sends a close event to the server. Setting closable to false will remove the X from the sub window and prevent the user from closing the window. Note! For historical reasons readonly controls the closability of the sub window and therefore readonly and closable affect each other. Setting readonly to true will set closable to false and vice versa.

Closable only applies to sub windows, not to browser level windows.

Returns:

true if the sub window can be closed by the user.

setClosable

public void setClosable(boolean closable)

Sets the closable status for the sub window. If a sub window is closable it typically shows an X in the upper right corner. Clicking on the X sends a close event to the server. Setting closable to false will remove the X from the sub window and prevent the user from closing the window. Note! For historical reasons readonly controls the closability of the sub window and therefore readonly and closable affect each other. Setting readonly to true will set closable to false and vice versa.

Closable only applies to sub windows, not to browser level windows.

Parameters:

closable - determines if the sub window can be closed by the user.

isDraggable

public boolean isDraggable()

Indicates whether a sub window can be dragged or not. By default a sub window is draggable.

Draggable only applies to sub windows, not to browser level windows.

Parameters:

draggable - true if the sub window can be dragged by the user

setDraggable

public void setDraggable(boolean draggable)

Enables or disables that a sub window can be dragged (moved) by the user. By default a sub window is draggable.

Draggable only applies to sub windows, not to browser level windows.

Parameters:

draggable - true if the sub window can be dragged by the user

public void setCloseShortcut(int keyCode,
                             int... modifiers)

Makes is possible to close the window by pressing the given ShortcutAction.KeyCode and (optional) ShortcutAction.ModifierKeys.
Note that this shortcut only reacts while the window has focus, closing itself - if you want to close a subwindow from a parent window, use Panel.addAction(com.vaadin.event.Action) of the parent window instead.

Parameters:

keyCode - the keycode for invoking the shortcut

modifiers - the (optional) modifiers for invoking the shortcut, null for none

removeCloseShortcut

public void removeCloseShortcut()

Removes the keyboard shortcut previously set with setCloseShortcut(int, int...).
