Need Help!!!About the difference between smartgwt and gwt for component "Window"

[byronsun]

Hi guys:

I had difficult to set up a smartgwt window as same functionality as
the one in gwt.
Basically, I just need to click a button, and a panel pops up,
meanwhile all other components at background will be greyed out.
However, when I use the component "window" in smartgwt, it looks like
does not have that functionality and i still can edit the background
components.
I have tried just create the window from gwt, it does not work since
all the background component created from smartgwt, and the window
created from gwt even pops up, but u cannnot edit it and even click
it.

Easily say, in smartgwt, we can use SC to pop up a msg, confirm, ok......those pop ups, but we cannot create a panel which contains a forum to ask user to input various info.

Any ideas? or suggestions?

Many thinks guys!!!

                window.setIsModal(true);  
                window.setShowModalMask(true);  
                window.centerInPage();

That should allow you to do that.

thx a lot stawman. it works very well.~

BTW, do you know anyway like the way we do with SWING to disable editable for certain textfield.

such as one textfield, we cannot edit it.

much appreciated

final TextBox inputItu = new TextBox();
inputItu.setEnabled(false);

should do the thing :)

thanks~ but i am using com.smartgwt.client.widgets.form.fields.****Item, they do not have setEnable method.

Use setDisabled() or enable()/disable(). Check the javadocs for FormItem.
