Dialog and Messagebox position

Tobias asked 2018-01-12 14:58:00 UTC

Is it possible prevent that dialogs and messageboxes (or any part of it) are dragged outside the browsers' view ?
That means dialogs and messageboxes should be visible completely & in total in the browser.

Yes, we can add an option as a feature request. I have also attached a javascript mixin that can patch the existing classes and override the __computeMoveCoordinates method. All movable widgets in Wisej use the qx.ui.core.MMovable mixin.

See attached my.MMovablePatch.js. Put it in /Platform as an embedded resource and uncomment the WisejResources attribute in AssemblyInfo.cs. If using VB.NET, rename the file to Platform.my.MMovablePath.js since VB.NET doesn't use the folder to build the resource name.

This post as well as this one (http://wisej.com/support/question/desktop-taskbar-position) provide some internals and show how flexible the wisej/qooxdoo system is. The full source code of all the javascript classes we use is here: https://github.com/iceteagroup/wisej-qx

Thank you very much. Your solution works exactly as needed.
Maybe you can consider to add this behaviour as new feature for a upcoming release ?

Dear support,
