ModalPanel in richfaces 4

[cmathrusse]

Using richfaces 3 I was able to create a modalPanel that would display and block the user from any input during ajax operations using the following as an example:

<h:form>
   <a4j:commandButton value="Do something" 
      action="#{bean.dosomething}"
      status="ajaxStatus"/>
</h:form>
 
<a4j:status 
id="ajaxStatus"
   onstart="#{rich:component('waitPanel')}
      .show('',{top:'40px', left:'80px',height:'100px', width:'200px'})"
   onstop="#{rich:component('waitPanel')}.hide()" />
 
<rich:modalPanel id="waitPanel" style="text-align:center">
   <h:outputText value="Please wait..."
      style="font-weight:bold;font-size:large" />
</rich:modalPanel>


Now, using richfaces 4, the modalPanel is no longer available. I'm assuming that the same results can be achieved using the rich:popupPanel but I can't locate an example. Does anyone have a sample of how to make this work?

Thanks...

use just the same code but with popupPanel. set modal="true"

Thank you for the reply Ilya. I managed to figure it out just yesterday after bumping my head around in the dark for a little bit. It works great!

By the way, is there a replacement for the rich:spacer?
