Class that shows an element as a popup.

Popups may be have owner elements, in which case they behave as rich tooltips that may be shown or hidden based on actions specified by the showTrigger and hideTrigger properties.

Popups with no owner elements behave like dialogs. They are centered on the screen and displayed using the show method.

To close a hide method.

Alternatively, any clickable elements within a Popup that have the classes starting with the 'wj-hide' string will hide the Popup when clicked and will set the dialogResult property to the class name so the caller may take appropriate action.

For example, the Popup below will be hidden when the user presses the OK or Cancel buttons, and the dialogResult property will be set to either 'wj-hide-cancel' or 'wj-hide-ok':

<button id="btnPopup">Show Popup</button>
<wj-popup owner="#btnPopup" style="padding:12px">
  <p>Press one of the buttons below to hide the Popup.</p>
  <hr/>
  <button class="wj-hide-ok" ng-click="handleOK()">OK</button>
  <button class="wj-hide-cancel">Cancel</button>
</wj-popup>

The example below shows how you can use the Popup control to implement popups attached to owner elements and dialogs:

Events

Constructor

constructor

constructor(element: any, options?: any): Popup

Initializes a new instance of the Popup class.

Parameters
Optional

JavaScript object containing initialization data for the control.

Returns
Popup

Properties

content

Gets or sets the HTML element contained in this Popup.

Type
HTMLElement

dialogResult

Gets or sets a value used as a return value for the Popup after it is hidden.

This property is set to null when the Popup is displayed. It can be set in response to button click events or in the call to the hide method to provide a result value to callers.

Type
any

dialogResultEnter

Gets or sets a value to be used as a dialogResult when the user presses the Enter key while the Popup is visible.

If the user presses Enter and the dialogResultEnter property is not null, the popup checks whether all its child elements are in a valid state. If so, the popup is closed and the dialogResult property is set to the value of the dialogResultEnter property.

Type
any

fadeIn

Gets or sets a value that determines whether the Popup should use a fade-in animation when it is shown.

The default value for this property is true.

Type
boolean

fadeOut

Gets or sets a value that determines whether the Popup should use a fade-out animation when it is hidden.

The default value for this property is true.

Type
boolean

hideTrigger

Gets or sets the actions that hide the Popup.

By default, the hideTrigger property is set to Blur, which hides the popup when it loses focus.

If you set the hideTrigger property to Click, the popup will be hidden only when the owner element is clicked.

If you set the hideTrigger property to None, the popup will be hidden only when the hide method is called.

Type
PopupTrigger

hostElement

Gets the DOM element that is hosting the control.

Inherited From
Control
Type
HTMLElement

isDisabled

Gets or sets a value that determines whether the control is disabled.

Disabled controls cannot get mouse or keyboard events.

Inherited From
Control
Type
boolean

isDraggable

Gets or sets a value that determines whether the popup can be dragged with the mouse by its header.

The header is identified by the '.wj-dialog-header' CSS selector. If the dialog does not contain any elements with the 'wj-dialog-header' class, user will not be able to drag the popup.

When making popups draggable, you may want to set the cursor property of the '.wj-dialog-header' CSS selector. For example:

<style>
  .wj-popup {
    width: 30%;
  }
  .wj-dialog-header {
    cursor: move;
  }
</style>

The default value for this property is false.

Type
boolean

isTouching

Gets a value that indicates whether the control is currently handling a touch event.

Inherited From
Control
Type
boolean

isUpdating

Gets a value that indicates whether the control is currently being updated.

Inherited From
Control
Type
boolean

isVisible

Gets a value that determines whether the Popup is currently visible.

Type
boolean

owner

Gets or sets the element that owns this Popup.

If the owner is null, the Popup behaves like a dialog. It is centered on the screen and must be shown using the show method.

Type
HTMLElement

removeOnHide

Gets or sets a value that determines whether the Popup element should be removed from the DOM when the Popup is hidden, as opposed to being hidden.

The default value for this property is true.

Type
boolean

rightToLeft

Gets a value indicating whether the control is hosted in an element with right-to-left layout.

Inherited From
Control
Type
boolean

showTrigger

Gets or sets the actions that show the Popup.

By default, the showTrigger property is set to Click, which causes the popup to appear when the user clicks the owner element.

If you set the showTrigger property to None, the popup will be shown only when the show method is called.

Type
PopupTrigger

Methods

addEventListener

addEventListener(target: EventTarget, type: string, fn: any, capture?: boolean, passive?: boolean): void

Adds an event listener to an element owned by this Control.

The control keeps a list of attached listeners and their handlers, making it easier to remove them when the control is disposed (see the dispose and removeEventListener methods).

Failing to remove event listeners may cause memory leaks.

The passive parameter is set to false by default, which means the event handler may call event.preventDefault(). If you are adding passive handlers to touch or wheel events, setting this parameter to true will improve application performance.

For details on passive event listeners, please see Improving scrolling performance with passive listeners.

Parameters
  • target: EventTarget

    Target element for the event.

  • type: string

    String that specifies the event.

  • fn: any

    Function to execute when the event occurs.

  • capture: boolean
Optional

Whether the listener should be handled by the control before it is handled by the target element.

Indicates that the handler will never call preventDefault().

Inherited From
Control
Returns
void

applyTemplate

applyTemplate(classNames: string, template: string, parts: Object, namePart?: string): HTMLElement

Applies the template to a new instance of a control, and returns the root element.

This method should be called by constructors of templated controls. It is responsible for binding the template parts to the corresponding control members.

For example, the code below applies a template to an instance of an InputNumber control. The template must contain elements with the 'wj-part' attribute set to 'input', 'btn-inc', and 'btn-dec'. The control members '_tbx', '_btnUp', and '_btnDn' will be assigned references to these elements.

this.applyTemplate('wj-control wj-inputnumber', template, {
  _tbx: 'input',
  _btnUp: 'btn-inc',
  _btnDn: 'btn-dec'
}, 'input');
Parameters
Inherited From
Control
Returns
HTMLElement

beginUpdate

beginUpdate(): void

Suspends notifications until the next call to endUpdate.

Inherited From
Control
Returns
void

containsFocus

containsFocus(): boolean

Checks whether this control contains the focused element.

Inherited From
Control
Returns
boolean

deferUpdate

deferUpdate(fn: Function): void

Executes a function within a beginUpdate/endUpdate block.

The control will not be updated until the function has been executed. This method ensures endUpdate is called even if the function throws an exception.

Parameters
Inherited From
Control
Returns
void

dispose

dispose(): void

Disposes of the control by removing its association with the host element.

The dispose method automatically removes any event listeners added with the addEventListener method.

Calling the dispose method is important in applications that create and remove controls dynamically. Failing to dispose of the controls may cause memory leaks.

Inherited From
Control
Returns
void

Static disposeAll

disposeAll(e?: HTMLElement): void

Disposes of all Wijmo controls contained in an HTML element.

Parameters
Inherited From
Control
Returns
void

endUpdate

endUpdate(): void

Resumes notifications suspended by calls to beginUpdate.

Inherited From
Control
Returns
void

focus

focus(): void

Sets the focus to this control.

Inherited From
Control
Returns
void

Static getControl

getControl(element: any): Control

Gets the control that is hosted in a given DOM element.

Parameters
Inherited From
Control
Returns
Control

getTemplate

getTemplate(): string

Gets the HTML template used to create instances of the control.

This method traverses up the class hierarchy to find the nearest ancestor that specifies a control template. For example, if you specify a prototype for the ComboBox control, which does not specify a template, it will override the template defined by the DropDown base class (the nearest ancestor that does specify a template).

Inherited From
Control
Returns
string

hide

hide(dialogResult?: any): void

Hides the Popup.

Parameters
Returns
void

initialize

initialize(options: any): void

Initializes the control by copying the properties from a given object.

This method allows you to initialize controls using plain data objects instead of setting the value of each property in code.

For example:

grid.initialize({
  itemsSource: myList,
  autoGenerateColumns: false,
  columns: [
    { binding: 'id', header: 'Code', width: 130 },
    { binding: 'name', header: 'Name', width: 60 } 
  ]
});

// is equivalent to
grid.itemsSource = myList;
grid.autoGenerateColumns = false;

// etc.

The initialization data is type-checked as it is applied. If the initialization object contains unknown property names or invalid data types, this method will throw.

Parameters
Inherited From
Control
Returns
void

invalidate

invalidate(fullUpdate?: boolean): void

Invalidates the control causing an asynchronous refresh.

Parameters
Inherited From
Control
Returns
void

Static invalidateAll

invalidateAll(e?: HTMLElement): void

Invalidates all Wijmo controls contained in an HTML element.

Use this method when your application has dynamic panels that change the control's visibility or dimensions. For example, splitters, accordions, and tab controls usually change the visibility of its content elements. In this case, failing to notify the controls contained in the element may cause them to stop working properly.

If this happens, you must handle the appropriate event in the dynamic container and call the invalidateAll method so the contained Wijmo controls will update their layout information properly.
