HI,

I wanted to pop up a modal panel depending on the certian condition.

I have tried two different kind of codes but not yet success,

Any help is highly appricated.

first method

    <a4j:commandButton  value="Finish" action="#{bean.finish}" reRender="hForm" oncomplete="if(testcaseBean.showModalPanel) Richfaces.showModalPanel('modalPanel')" >

                                                 <f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{record.row}" target="#{bean.collection}" />

                                             </a4j:commandButton>

showModalPanel :- Is a boolean value in the backing bean.

second method

  <a4j:commandButton  value="Finish" action="#{bean.finish}" reRender="hForm" oncomplete="#{bean.launchModalPanel()}" >

                                                 <f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{record.row}" target="#{bean.collection}" />

                                             </a4j:commandButton>

    public void launchModalPanel() {

        FacesContext context = Utility.getFacesContext();

        UIComponent component = context.getViewRoot().findComponent("modalPanel");

        HtmlModalPanel panel = (HtmlModalPanel) component;

        panel.setRendered(true);

        panel.setShowWhenRendered(true);

        panel.saveState(context);

    }
