how to open a modal window from context menu item

[krishnakishu]

Hi,

I am displaying user details in rich data table.

When mouse is clicked on a row, i am displaying context menu like

Actions > Edit and Below that Delete.

Now I want to open a modal window when i click on any menu item.

From the rich faces site, modal panel example, i wrote the code as in the example. But after writing the code, first menu "Edit" is not being displayed.

I have attached the code in the attachement.

Please help me.

why you wrapping the Edit Menu item into the outputLink? It's not supposed to works in this way.

Actually I want to open a modal window on clicking "Edit" menu item. How could that be possible. Could you please provide me any idea?

Also I need to pass the username to the modal window so that the data will be populated in the fields and the user can modify the data.

http://livedemo.exadel.com/richfaces-demo/richfaces/dataTable.jsf contains edit table sample. All you need to change edit link to menu. And remove problematic code with outputLink which I mentioned.

Hi,

I have gone through the url and implemented the functionality.

I have achieved upto displaying of window for edit menu item and confirmation for delete menu.

But when clicking on edit menu item, modal window is being displayed but with empty fields.

When clicking on delete menun item, modal window is being displayed, when clicking on "Yes", I am not getting what value to be passed.

For the variables currentItem and row, I declared the variables in bean with "User"(my project specified class) datatype.

But whentrying to capture that value in delete event, I am getting null values.

Pleas help me in this regard.
