Query regarding Dialog window

[fairoz172]

Hi,

We are using SmartGWT Pro 3.0 version.
I am using Dialog window to display alert
Dialog dialog = new Dialog();
dialog.setTitle("Alert");
dialog.setMessage(message);

How to use dialog.setMessageStyle() API to change the alignment of message.
I tried
dialog.setMessageStyle("align=center");
dialog.setMessageStyle("{align: center;}");
dialog.setMessageStyle("align: center");
but none of them is working.

Thanks

The 'setMessageStyle()' method will impact the css class applied to the message body. So it should be set to a valid CSS class name.

Intended use fails for me, hack works

I had the same issue: I wanted to display the error message in red instead of default color.

On a Dialog object, I tried using dialog.setMessageStyle("my-css-class"), which did not work at all. Also tried dialog.setStyle() but this overrides the whole CSS of the dialog and messes up the display.

I ended up using:
dialog.setMessage("<span style='color: "+ "red" + "'>" + message + "</span>");

and concatenating the CSS and my message worked for me. I am well aware this is a hack and wish I could have found a better solution though. A predefined error mode for a Dialog would have been awesome.

Not sure about SmartGwt 3 (they are on 5 now, btw) but the Dialog options in 4 and 5 have what you are talking about. There are convenience dialogs for message, data entry, warn, error, etc.
