    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 Popup, call the 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':

    ```html

    Welcome to the popup.
    Click one of the buttons below to close the popup.
    ``` ```typescript new Popup('#thePopup', { owner: '#btn-show-popup', hidden: s => console.log('popup closed with result', s.dialogResult) }); ```

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

    Methods

    Events

    Constructor

    constructor

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

    Initializes a new instance of the Popup class.

    Parameters
    • element: any

      The DOM element that hosts the control, or a CSS selector for the host element (e.g. '#theCtrl').

    • options: any
    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.

    The default value for this property is **null**.

    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

    dialogResultSubmit

    Gets or sets a string to be used as a dialogResult when the dialog is hosted by a form element and the user submits the form.

    The default value for this property is **null**.

    If you set this property to a non-empty string, the control will handle the form's submit event, validating the fields and closing the form with a dialogResult set to the specified value. For example:

    ```typescript let dlg = new Popup('#theForm', { dialogResultSubmit: 'ok' }); dlg.show(true, () => { if (dlg.dialogResult == dlg.dialogResultSubmit) { // form is valid, handle results here } }); ```

    See also the dialogResultEnter property, which can be used when the Popup is hosted in elements that are not forms.

    Type
    string

    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.

    The default value for this property is **PopupTrigger.Blur**, which causes the popup to hide when it loses focus.

    If you set the hideTrigger property to Click, the popup will be hidden when the user clicks the popup or its owner element.

    If you set the hideTrigger property to Leave, the popup will be hidden a short interval after the mouse leaves the popup or its owner element, unless the user moves the mouse back into the popup before the interval elapses.

    If you set the hideTrigger property to None, the popup will be hidden only when the hide method is called (or when the user presses the Escape key).

    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' or '.modal-header' CSS selectors. If the dialog does not contain any elements with the 'wj-dialog-header' or 'modal-header' classes, users will not be able to drag the popup.

    The default value for this property is **false**.

    Type
    boolean

    isResizable

    Gets or sets a value that determines whether the popup can be resized by dragging its edges with the mouse.

    You can limit the size of the popup by setting the host element's max-width, min-width, max-height, and min-height CSS properties.

    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

    position

    Gets or sets the PopupPosition where the popup should be displayed with respect to the owner element.

    The default value for this property is **PopupPosition.BelowLeft**.

    Type
    PopupPosition

    removeOnHide

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

    The default value for this property is **true**.

    Note that removeOnHide removes the Popup element from the DOM when the Popup is hidden, but not when it is created.

    If the Popup contains elements with access keys (**accesskey** attributes) that should not be activated when the Popup is not visible, you should remove the Popup from the DOM after it is created. For example: ```typesript import { Popup} from '@grapecity/wijmo.input'; import { removeChild } from '@grapecity/wijmo'; // create the Popup let popup = new Popup('#popup', { owner: '#show' });

    // add event listeners to accesskey elements (accesskey element is in the DOM) document.getElementById('alert').addEventListener('click', e => alert('hi'));

    // remove Popup (and accesskey element) from DOM // so accesskey will not work until the Popup is visible removeChild(popup.hostElement); ```

    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.

    The default value for this property is **PopupTrigger.ClickOwner**, 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

    tabOrder

    Gets or sets a value of the **tabindex** attribute associated with the control.

    **tabindex** attribute value can be defined statically for a Wijmo control by specifying it on the control's host HTML element. But this value can't be changed later during application lifecycle, because Wijmo controls have complex structure, and the control may need to propagate this attribute value to its internal element to work properly.

    Because of this, to read or change control's **tabindex** dynamically, you should do it using this property.

    Control
    Type
    number

    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.

    ```typescript this.applyTemplate('wj-control wj-inputnumber', templateString, { _tbx: 'input', _btnUp: 'btn-inc', _btnDn: 'btn-dec' }, 'input'); ``````

    Parameters
    • classNames: string

      Names of classes to add to the control's host element.

    • template: string

      An HTML string that defines the control template.

    • parts: Object

      A dictionary of part variables and their names.

    • namePart: string Optional

      Name of the part to be named after the host element. This determines how the control submits data when used in forms.

    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

    Returns
    void

    Static getControl

    getControl(element: any): Control
    

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

    Parameters
    • element: any

      The DOM element that hosts the control, or a CSS selector for the host element (e.g. '#theCtrl').

    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
    • dialogResult: any Optional

      Optional value assigned to the dialogResult property before closing the Popup.

    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:

    ```typescript 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
    • options: any

      Object that contains the initialization data.

    Inherited From
    Control
    Returns
    void

    invalidate

    invalidate(fullUpdate?: boolean): void
    

    Invalidates the control causing an asynchronous refresh.

    Parameters
    • fullUpdate: boolean Optional

      Whether to update the control layout as well as the content.

    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.

    Parameters
    • e: HTMLElement Optional

      Container element. If set to null, all Wijmo controls on the page will be invalidated.

    Removes one or more event listeners attached to elements owned by this Control.

    Parameters
    • target: EventTarget Optional

      Target element for the event. If null, removes listeners attached to all targets.

    • type: string Optional

      String that specifies the event. If null, removes listeners attached to all events.

    • fn: any Optional

      Handler to remove. If null, removes all handlers.

    • modal: boolean Optional

      Whether to show the popup as a modal dialog. If provided, this sets the value of the modal property.

    • handleResult: Function Optional

      Callback invoked when the popup is hidden. If provided, this should be a function that receives the popup as a parameter.

      The **handleResult** callback allows callers to handle the result of modal dialogs without attaching handlers to the hidden event. For example, the code below shows a dialog used to edit the current item in a CollectionView. The edits are committed or canceled depending on the dialogResult value. For example:

      ```typescript function editCurrentItem(popupEditor: Popup, view: CollectionView) { view.editItem(view.currentItem); popupEditor.show(true, (e: Popup) => { if (e.dialogResult == 'wj-hide-ok') { view.commitEdit(); } else { view.cancelEdit(); } }); } ```

    hiding

    Occurs before the Popup is hidden.

    Arguments
    CancelEventArgs

    invalidInput

    Occurs when invalid input is detected.

    Invalid input may occur when the user types or pastes a value that cannot be converted to the proper type, or a value that is outside the valid range.

    If the event handler cancels the event, the control will retain the invalid content and the focus, so users can correct the error.

    If the event is not canceled, the control will ignore the invalid input and will retain the original content.

    Control
    Arguments
    CancelEventArgs

    lostFocus

    Occurs when the control loses the focus.

    Inherited From
    Control
    Arguments
    EventArgs

    positionChanged

    Occurs while the user moves the Popup, between the dragging and dragged events.

    When the user drags the Popup, it raises the following events: - dragging (once, cancelable) - positionChanging (several times while the user moves the mouse) - positionChanged (several times while the user moves the mouse) - dragged (once, at the end of the resizing process)

    See also the isDraggable property.

    Arguments
    EventArgs

    positionChanging

    Occurs while the user moves the Popup, between the dragging and dragged events.

    When the user drags the Popup, it raises the following events: - dragging (once, cancelable) - positionChanging (several times while the user moves the mouse, cancelable) - positionChanged (several times while the user moves the mouse) - dragged (once, at the end of the resizing process)

    See also the isDraggable property.

    You can use the positionChanging event to cancel or to modify the Popup bounds as the user drags the control.

    For example, the code keeps the popup in full view, preventing users from dragging parts of the Popup off the screen:

    ```typescript new Popup('#thePopup', { isDraggable: true, isResizable: true, hideTrigger: 'None',

    // keep popup fully within the browser window positionChanging: (s: Popup, e: PopupBoundsChangingEventArgs) => { let bnd = e.bounds; bnd.left = Math.max(Math.min(bnd.left, innerWidth + scrollX - bnd.width), scrollX); bnd.top = Math.max(Math.min(bnd.top, innerHeight + scrollY - bnd.height), scrollY); } }); ```
