How to utilise D2FS IDialogService

Hello,

I want to display a property page INSIDE my custom D2 widget.

I know I can call GetDialogRequest from D2FS, even the "D2 4.X Plugins and Extensions" document says that it could be done via OAH


for example IDialogService may be called with Dialog, IDialog, DialogService, or IDialogService.

and the question is - what next...

Response from this service returns the XML of the dialog, but how can I embed it inside my GUI.

Please note, I know I can open a dialog with D2_ACTION_DISPLAY_DIALOG via OAH.

Hello,

Please can I see your code of using D2_ACTION_DISPLAY_DIALOG via OAH ?

Thanks

It depends on which dialog you wish to display. A mandatory filed of the message is the name of the class that implements ID2Dialog interface. Build-in dialogs are stored in com.emc.d2fs.dctm.dialogs package inside D2FS4DCTM-WEB-4.2.0.jar.

This can be as well the name of a custom class implementing ID2Dialog interface, form your own plugin.

The other parameters depends on the dialog itself. I haven't found any official spec, but probably on of the most common would be a object id, for which you want to display the dialog. The most trivial example would be displaying Properties dialog for an object


var message = new OpenAjaxMessage();
message.put("DIALOG_NAME", "PropertiesDialog");
message.setId(objectId);

d2OpenAjaxHub.sendMessage("D2_ACTION_DISPLAY_DIALOG", message);

In couple of weeks I will publish code and tutorial in my blog series, demonstrating how to build custom Searches widget, which will involve displaying custom Public searches dialogs.
