hi
I am trying to open a dialogue which is defined in application.e4xmi and it is not rendered and not visible (see attachment).

i am trying to open it as below
Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
	
	@Override
	public void run() {
		MUIElement find = modelService.find("com.mil.debra.app.dialog.editdialogue", application);
		System.out.println(find);
		MDialog mydialogue = (MDialog) modelService.cloneElement(find, application);
		mydialogue.setVisible(true);
		mydialogue.setOnTop(true);
		mydialogue.setToBeRendered(true);
//		modelService.bringToTop(mydialogue);
	}
});


which is leading to NPE.
Exception in thread "JavaFX Application Thread" java.lang.NullPointerException

i want to open this dialogue like APPLICATION_MODAL in swt.
Any idea how to achieve this ?

Note:
I know i can create a new stage and use Stage#showAndWait();

MDialog is a concept added by someone in e4 (and is IMHO completely
broken!) and not even SWT-Renderer really support it fully but it works
more by chance! I made a proposal in
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=460826 how they should
work, I had a sponsor for that at that time.

What I can guarantee is that MDialog as it is today will never be
supported by e(fx)clipse
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=460826#c18) and I really
hope e4 will clean up its model and not ship this broken thing.

If you want really useable dialogs/wizards:
a) you need to implement them your own but remember that I warned you
that those are completely broken

b) as the sponsor by that time has gone your company could sponsor me
to push this forward, most likely this time I would push that
forward in e(fx)clipse instead of e4

Moving to javafx way to create custom dialogue as described here.

Hi tom ,

Is it possible to drag out the dialog from application? ModalityScope.Application?
I am describing my dialogue as below
	static class AboutDialogue extends TitleAreaDialog {
		private Parent root;

		@Inject
		public AboutDialogue(){
			super("About", "About",null);
			addDefaultButtons();
			try {
				root = FXMLLoader.load(AboutDialogue.class.getResource("PersonEditDialog.fxml"));
				setClientArea(root);
			} catch (IOException e) {
				// TODO Auto-generated catch block
				e.printStackTrace();
			}
			setClientArea(root);
		}

	}


and opening using below call in handler class
	@Execute
	public void execute(LightWeightDialogService dialogService) {
		dialogService.openDialog(AboutDialogue.class, ModalityScope.WINDOW);
		System.out.println(dialogService);
	
	}


This is not allowing me to drag dialog outside of the application. Sad
can you give me hint how to achieve this?
Please check attachment for how i am getting dialogue.

Thanks
Milan

No lightweight dialogs can never leave the container they are created
on. This is a "drawback" of them compared to heavy weight dialogs.
