gwt Popup is not centered

[mariyan nenchev]

Hi,

I use gwt popup to show some messages, but it is not displayed in the center of the display event if i call popup.center(). Actually it is not centered only the first time, if i close it and open it again every thing is ok, but not the first time. How to fix that?

Regards.

try to set the pixel size of the popup before centering it.

popup.setPixelSize(width, height);

Have you reviewed the sample -- with detailed comments -- near the top
of the javadoc page?

Hi mariyan,
Did you manage to resolve this issue? I see the exact same behaviour
on my application - the popup is not centered for the first time only,
and afterwards popup.center() works fine. I am using GWT 2.0.3. Here
is some sample code - I really can't see why this is happening.
Thanks in advance.

public class LoginForm extends PopupPanel {
public LoginForm(){
this.setStyleName("bwPopupPanel");
this.setGlassEnabled(true);
this.add(new LoginFields()); //LoginFields is a class defined using
UIBinder to position the layout contained in the popup
this.center();
}
}

//..........Different class..........
private void showLoginPopUp() {
@SuppressWarnings("unused")
LoginForm loginPanel = new LoginForm();
}

No, i did not.

Put the panel and everything else that goes into it in before doing
center and show.

First, the only reliable way to set the size of the dialog is to set
the width and height of the first container widget you add to the
dialog. Don't try setting width and height on the dialog box, it
doesn't work and there is a bug logged against this.

Secondly, make sure you don't have a style defined such as

.gwt-DialogBox {
width: 350px;
}

In your main .css file. If you do, remove it. The starter GWT
application usually defines this.

If you do these two things it should work OK. You only need to call
center(), not center then show().
