APEX 5 - Opening and Closing Modal Window

This example is showing how to open a Modal Page from any element in your application. It is easy to get it working using some standards like a button or a link in a report. However, it is not 100% clear how to get it working with some other elements which don't have the redirect functionality built in (item, region title, custom links, etc.). This example is also showing how to get the success message displayed on the parent page after closing of the Modal Page.

    Hi Denes,

    Can you provide me the code for showing success message, i.e. what actually is happening on Save click and Dialog Closed event.

    Thanks

    Denes,
    Great article.. But I have a different but similar situation.. I have a report page that I need to call a modal page with. User will either select a value on modal or cancel. If they select a value on modal I need them redirected to another page, passing through the selected value.

    I have posted the example up on the forum, with access information if you have the time to look and offer any help..

    Thanks. Works great. I have been messing around with this for a while, trying to get something like this to work. Tough to find good examples and documentation like this for Apex stuff. Excellent.

    Hi Denes,

    I tried this approach for BLOB item - File Browse (instead of DATE item), I cant make it work.

    What do I need to change to make it work? (i.e. the new photo from the Dialog window is not being pass to the calling form)

    THanks.

    Mike,

    just extended the example here to show it works also with file browse item for both, changing it and clicking on the search button:

    Denes,

    Nice example, but what if your calling page doesn't have an item to update and you just want to post a generic success message?

    Thanks,
    Paul

    Hello Denes, you provided example very useful for me.
    Can you provide link to example page developer environment for detailed investigations.
    I interested how you make Success message visible without branching page after closing dialog.
