rich:modalPanel getting closed on row selection

[snowhite]

Hi,

I have a rich:modalPanel having a scrollableDataTable in it. I want to populate another component (which is in the same modalPanel) based on row selection in scrollableDataTable. But my modalPanel is getting closed when user is making the selection. Can anyone have an idea of whats going wrong

Below is the modalPanel code:

<rich:modalPanel id="panel" autosized="false" keepVisualState="true" width="750" height="500" style="background-color:White;">
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="#{selectedSO.soNumber}" styleClass="hClass" />
 </f:facet>
 <f:facet name="controls">
 <span style="cursor: pointer" onclick="javascript:Richfaces.hideModalPanel('panel')">X</span>
 </f:facet>
 <a4j:form>
 <h:panelGrid columns="4" id="detail" >
 <h:outputLabel value="SO #" for="soNumber" styleClass="Label"/>
 <h:outputText value="#{selectedSO.soNumber}" id="soNumber" />

 <h:outputLabel value="No. of Items" for="items" styleClass="Label" />
 <h:outputText value="#{selectedSO.numberOfItems}" id="items" />
 </h:panelGrid>
 <rich:spacer height="2" />
 <rich:scrollableDataTable value="#{lstSoDetail}" var="item1" height="150px" selection="#{module1Manager.selection}">
 <rich:column>
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="Item #" />
 </f:facet>
 <h:outputText value="#{item1.itemNumber}" />
 </rich:column>
 <rich:column>
 <f:facet name="header">
 <h:outputText value="PN" />
 </f:facet>
 <h:outputText value="#{item1.pn}" />
 </rich:column>
 ...............
 <a4j:support reRender="panelTest" actionListener="#{module1Manager.takeSelection}" event="onselectionchange" oncomplete="javascript:Richfaces.showModalPanel('panel');"/>
 </rich:scrollableDataTable>
 <rich:panel header="#{module1Manager.testStr}" id="panelTest"></rich:panel>
 </a4j:form>
</rich:modalPanel>

takeSelection() code contains following code in it:

public void takeSelection(){
 Iterator<Object> iterator = getSelection().getKeys();
 Object key = null;
 while(iterator.hasNext()){
 key = iterator.next();
 }
 testStr = lstSoDetail.get(Integer.parseInt(key.toString())).getSodAutoKey();
 }

Thanks

<a4j:support reRender="panelTest" actionListener="#{module1Manager.takeSelection}" event="onselectionchange" oncomplete="javascript:Richfaces.showModalPanel('panel');"/>

I think the oncomplete attribute doesn't have any sense here (why showing the modalpanel if modalpanel is already opened?)

[snowhite]

Ok, I placed the oncomplete attribute as a workaround to keep the modalPanel from being closed. If I remove that attribute, when user selects any row in scrollableDataTable, modalPanel is getting closed.

remove your oncomplete and try to add just limittolist="true" to the support.

I guess your modal lies in some autoupdatable outputPanel or include. So closure in this case occurs by design.

That worked. Thank you very much. Yes, my modalPanel is in included page in a tab.
