GlideDialogWindow- Client (deprecated)

The GlideDialogWindow API provides methods for displaying a dialog in the current window and frame.

Use these methods in scripts anywhere that you can use a client-side JavaScript. These methods are most often called from a UI action with the Client check box selected.

GlideDialogWindow - GlideDialogWindow(String id, Boolean readOnly, Number width, Number height)

Provides methods for displaying a dialog in the current window and frame.

Use these methods in scripts anywhere that you can use a client-side JavaScript. These methods are most often called from a UI Action with the Client check box selected.

// Creates a dialog window
var gdw = new GlideDialogWindow('show_list');

// Creates a read-only dialog window
var gdw = new GlideDialogWindow('show_list', true);

// Creates a dialog window that is 400 pixels wide
var gdw = new GlideDialogWindow('show_list', false, 400); 

// Creates a dialog window that is 400 pixels wide and 200 pixels tall
var gdw = new GlideDialogWindow('show_list', false, 400, 200); 

GlideDialogWindow - adjustBodySize()

Adjusts the body height of a dialog window to be the window height minus the header height.

You typically call this method after calling GlideDialogWindow - setSize().

var gdw = new GlideDialogWindow('show_list');
      gdw.setTitle('Test');
      gdw.setSize(750,300);
      gdw.adjustBodySize();
      gdw.render();

GlideDialogWindow - destroy()

Closes the dialog window.

//Destroy the current dialog window.
      GlideDialogWindow.get().destroy();

GlideDialogWindow - render()

Renders the dialog window.

var gdw = new GlideDialogWindow('show_list');
      gdw.setTitle('Test');
      gdw.setSize(750,300);
      gdw.setPreference('table', 'u_test_list');
      gdw.setPreference('title', 'A New Title');
      gdw.render();

GlideDialogWindow - setPreference(String name, String value)

Sets a given window property to a specified value.

Any window property can be set using this method.

var gdw = new GlideDialogWindow('show_list');
      gdw.setTitle('Test');
      gdw.setSize(750,300);
      gdw.setPreference('table', 'u_test_list');
      gdw.setPreference('title', 'A New Title');

GlideDialogWindow - setSize(Number width, Number height)

Sets the size of the dialog window.

If you do not pass width and height parameters, a default size is used.

var gdw = new GlideDialogWindow('show_list');
      gdw.setSize(750,300);

GlideDialogWindow - setTitle(String title)

Sets the title of the dialog window.

//var gdw = new GlideDialogWindow('show_list');
      gdw.setTitle('test');
