Modal Forms

[[File:Modalform.png] Modal Forms are forms which float over the rest of your app. Until the modal form is dismissed, the controls on the form behind it cannot be accessed. AppStudio uses the jQuery Modal library. It is included in AppStudio apps already, so nothing needs to be done to use it.

Any form can be made modal. To make a form modal, a few form properties need to be set:

  modal: True
  fullScreen: False
  left:
  top:
  width:
  height:

overlay	"#000"	Overlay color
opacity	0.75	Overlay opacity
zIndex	1	Overlay z-index.
escapeClose	true	Allows the user to close the modal by pressing `ESC`
clickClose	true	Allows the user to close the modal by clicking the overlay
closeText	'Close'	Text content for the close <a> tag.
closeClass		Add additional class(es) to the close <a> tag.
showClose	true	Shows a (X) icon/link in the top-right corner
modalClass	"modal"	CSS class added to the element being displayed in the modal.
spinnerHtml	null	HTML appended to the default spinner during AJAX requests.
showSpinner	true	Enable/disable the default spinner during AJAX requests.
fadeDuration	null	Number of milliseconds the fade transition takes (null means no transition)
fadeDelay	1.0	Point during the overlay's fade-in that the modal begins to fade in (.5 = 50%, 1.5 = 150%, etc.)
