Using rich:modalPanel and a4j:status together

[bruno.arruda]

Hello ppl,

Once again congrats for the sup work! and thanks in advance!

Althought I think this could be a very common question, I couldn´t find any good material about it...

I was wondering if you kindly could provide an example of how to use the components rich:modalPanel and a4j:status together. I want to create a modal panel that would block the user from interacting with the system while it is on loading(communicating with the server).

Thanks very much,

Best Regards.

what are the problems?

a4j:modalPanel should be called and hidden by it's js api. And a4j:status just show one div and disable another in the different states. So put for example iframe to cover the window intio the start facet and it will block the page.

I do this.

<rich:modalPanel id="ajaxLoadingModalBox" minHeight="200" minWidth="450"
 height="100" width="250" zindex="2000">
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="Request being processed"/>
 </f:facet>
 Your request is being processed, please wait.
 </rich:modalPanel>

AND

<a4j:status onstart="Richfaces.showModalPanel('ajaxLoadingModalBox',{width:450, top:200})" onstop="Richfaces.hideModalPanel('ajaxLoadingModalBox')"/>
