Disabling an open dialog
in Developing jQuery UI
•
2 years ago
There's a ticket requesting dialog buttons to be disabled when the dialog is disabled. The request make sense, but I'm wondering what a disabling an open dialog should actually do. Should it just disable everything it controls or should it also try to disable use of any controls inside the dialog's content?

Whats the use-case scenario for a disabled, open dialog?

A simpler stop-gap might be putting an overlay atop the dialog,
effectively disabling it.

That would work too. Maybe people were requesting this for situations
where a dialog opened another modal dialog over it? Not a great UI
idea, Microsoft stacks dialogs 10 deep sometimes. With each dialog
stacked with a cover div, interaction would be effectively blocked.
The other scenario would be a multiple window environment, like a
desktop metaphor where there are lots of dialogs (app windows) and
just one has focus -- on top and active while all others are unfocused
and sort of disabled.

<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>I think in the second example, you wouldn't want the modal overlay and you'd want the non-active windows to look not quite disabled but "less active". I don't think that supporting a windowed environment should be a priority, I was just trying to think of scenarios.

Oh, I get your example now. I agree, something like this would be useful in a windowed environment. Also agree, shouldn't be a priority. Even in this example, I think it would make more sense to style the dialog with the focus as active rather than actually disable the other dialogs.<div>

I think we're saying the same thing. My take is, if they should 'look not quite disabled but "less active"' then you shouldn't call .dialog('disable') on them<div>

i think a scenario this feature would useful is the following:
Assuming we have an open dialog contain user profile info.
1) user wants to change name
2) user edits name and presses save button
3) a "please wait...." message appears
4) "saved successfully" message appears
5) then user closes dialog
For step 3 & 4, we don't want to the user to be able to click on any buttons or change any inputs
