Is it possible to show browser's scrollBar in RAP? [message #518827] Fri, 05 March 2010 08:38 Go to next message

I'm just wondering that "is it possible to show browser's scrollBar?".

I think there must be some people like me who wants to know that. so far, I only found some examples with a RAP application contained in the client area of web browser. No matter how big the "page" should be, it only contained in "one page". so we have to use ScrolledComposite in RAP app to solve the scroll thing. Isn't it ugly?

Do you have some ideas?

Hi,

you need to change the document body overflow style property to auto.
Here is an example how to do it in qooxdoo/javascript:
----------
var doc = qx.ui.core.ClientDocument.getInstance();
doc.getDocumentElement().body.style.overflow = "auto";
----------

HTH,
Ivan

Ivan, thank you very much! That is what I want. But I am not so familiar with qooxdoo. Could you please tell me in detail how I can change it. At the moment, I am using "org.eclipse.rap.rwt.q07_1.3.0.20091214-1156.jar", do I need to change this .jar file? If so, what should I do? if not so, where should I change the js file?

Hi Wayne,

there are several ways to achieve this:
1. Change the RAP source code - you can do this in the Application.js,
somewhere around line 114 in main function.
2. Create (if not exist) a custom widget - see [1]
3. Write the javascript code from the server side directly:
ContextProvider.getStateInfo().getResponseWriter().append( <put your
javascript code here> );

I can't really recommend the proposed solution as it relies on internals
of the current client-side implementation. These may change without
prior notice.
Another approach is to place a ScrolledCompsoite in the "main" shell.

Hi Ivan (and other RAP experts),

I also had a similar issue (how to enable browser scrollBar in RAP). I am limited to RAP 1.2 capabilities since our product cannot be upgraded at the moment. The most practical solution to me was using 'qooxdoo/javascript':
var doc = qx.ui.core.ClientDocument.getInstance();
doc.getDocumentElement().body.style.overflow = "auto";

It works perfect on IE but FireFox 3.6 ignores it, After some digging into FF websites I found that one of the reasons could be that FF 3.6 doesn't honor getDocumentElement() and getElementById(id) must be used.

Do you know if any other way to get scrollbar on FF browser enabled via JS from within RAP/qoox code/scripts? Or how can I get handle of the 'id' in order to use getElementById? Is there any know issues with this regard that is fixed in RAP 1.3 that I can backport to 1.2 to get us going? I am open to any possible workaround. Please keep in mind that I am able to add scrollbars to the parent shell of my app but that is not what we want. The solution that I am looking for is to enable the scrollbars for the browser.

I even changed 'dom.disable_window_open_feature.location' to true in FF configuration but the scrollbars won't show up on the window that is opened by RAP.

Appreciate for any hints,
Ed

Hi Ed,

I've just tested the javascript and it works as expected in IE and FF
3.6.3 with RAP 1.3 (CVS HEAD).... but you are right, the scrollbars
don't show in FF 3.6.3 with RAP 1.2.2. To be honest, I have no idea way
it works in 1.3, but not in 1.2.2. I can't remember any related issue,
fix or change.

Best,
Ivan

Hi Ivan, Thanks for your quick response.

Is there any document/best practices/known issues on migrating RAP 1.2.2 projects to RAP 1.3 that you can point me to?

Regards,
Ed

Hi Ed,

RAP 1.3 is backward compatible with RAP 1.2. I know only one
incompatible issue related to custom widgets, which is easily resolved -
see bug 261355, comments # 11, 13.

HTH,
Ivan

Ed,

as Ivan already said, in general, each version of RAP is backward
compatible to its predecessor.
Noteworthy news for every milestone as well as incompatibilities (if
ever) are documented here:
