Hello Developers,

Is it possible to make AddPopup show up the Popup above a listbox ?

This is the problem : I select an item from a listbox - the item executes and calls AddPopup. I have to exit from the listbox (back key) and only then the Popup shows (the position of the Popup does not matter). I tried with zPosition=1, 2 etc in the Messagebox skin and that does not help.

If there is a succession of listboxes (from Menu.xml) I have to exit from all of them one by one before the Popup shows up !

Any advice please ?

Regards, pcd.

Simple advice: don't use notifications.
They are not made for this scenario and will only show up in certain situations.

If you want an instant message just use a MessageBox instead.

ritzMo: His main-screen with the list will be hidden if he opens a new MessageBox. I guess he needs something like this:

Python

from Components.Label impot Label
from Screens.Screen import Screen


class PopUpScreen(Screen):
	skin = """
		<screen position="75,75" size="200,30" title="Message" flags="wfNoBorder">
			<widget name="text" position="0,0" size="200,30" font="Regular;25" halign="center" valign="center" />
		</screen>"""


	def __init__(self, session):
		Screen.__init__(self, session)
		self["text"] = Label("")


class MyPlugin(Screen):
	skin="""blablabla"""


	def __init__(self, session):
		Screen.__init__(self, session)
		self.session = session
		self.popUpScreen = self.session.instantiateDialog(PopUpScreen)
		"""actions and more..."""


	def setTextPopUpScreen(self, text):
		self.popUpScreen["text"].setText(text)


	def showPopUpScreen(self, text=""):
		if text != "":
			self.setTextPopUpScreen(text)
		self.popUpScreen.show()


	def hidePopUpScreen(self):
		self.popUpScreen.hide()

Thank you both.

ritzMo :

As the list is from a ChoiceBox I cannot use a MessageBox next because that gives the error :-

modal open are allowed only from a screen which is modal!

There must be a way - but I have not found it yet.

AliAbdul1978 :

I will try your suggestion. Thanks.

Regards, pcd.

Do you open the MessageBox in the __init__ part? You must let python init the complete screen before starting a new one.
