A good use case for the internal window is for single stage environments like JPro, or if you want to customize the window trim to make the window appear more in line with the design of your application. The Internal Window can be styled with CSS. Take a look at the InternalWindow.Styles class for more information about styleable properties.

@User uploaded a file:

in that list you do not tell what the default value is for

modal

are "internal windows" modal?

@mikehearn You can choose. They are modal by default, but by passing

modal = false

they are not. I'll illustrate the difference, hang on.

@User uploaded a file: Internal Window Modal vs Modeless

@ron Thanks, will update.

@User uploaded a file: Open over specific Node

In this video I make the button larger and open the modal on top of the button instead of the whole view.

I could have written

owner = this

, but I felt it was best to make it clear that

this

means the button, that's why I wrote

owner = this@button

. This last snippet also shows an important feature. Even though I open the window over a specific Node, it can still be dragged outside. If people care about this, we can add an option to restrict the window to the bounds of the owner Node.

there's some code in Lighthouse that does a blur effect for modal inner windows

it looks quite nice

Hey guys, something weird

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

throws an error because a

Fieldset

cannot be cast to a

Form

@thomasnield I've used the

Form

before but I usually do something like the following:

@User uploaded a file: Untitled

I haven't used

.apply{

before...

I've been having the same issue with the builders

Within a Dialog though

An

apply()

is basically an improvised builder

Trying to create replicatable error code

Argh, can't replicate this. I guess I have to debug on my end

That should work fine, but why don't you use the form builder instead? Let me know if you can reproduce though.

@mikehearn: cool, I'll check that out

I have the same issue with the builder too. I'm so confused. I had this problem before, don't know how I fixed it.

Do you get a stacktrace?

Yeah I'll post tomorrow. You get some sleep

@thomasnield The only thing I can think of that would give this error is if you create a

Field().apply { ..}

manually like this, and the parent is not a fieldset. Then you might trigger the

val fieldset: Fieldset get() = parent as Fieldset

property of the

Field

. If you use the builders however, that can really never happen, since the builder for

field

is a function inside

Fieldset

.

So I think you wrote something like this:
