Modal Window Operations

Using an external application, you can open a modal window or pop-up window. Modal and pop-up window operations work on ModalWindowContext and also in the Tab context.

The differences between modal and pop-up windows are:

• You can create only one modal. You can, however, create any number of pop-up windows.
• You can't interact with modals, but you can with pop-up windows.

Note: You can perform the modal window operation on a specific tab by providing the browser tab ID to get the tab context. If browser tab ID isn't given for getting tab context, the opener page context of MCA floating tool bar window will be the default tab context. Modal window operations are supported only in browser Tab's tabContext only, not supported in MSI Tabs tab context.

You can get the ModalWindowContext by calling the getModalWindowContext API provided in UEF provider object as shown here:

getModalWindowContext(): Promise<IModalWindowContext>;

And here's how you can access ModelWindowContext:

const uiEventsFrameworkInstance: IUiEventsFrameworkProvider = await CX_SVC_UI_EVENTS_FRAMEWORK.uiEventsFramework.initialize('appname', 'v1'); 
const modalWindowContext:IModalWindowContext = await getModalWindowContext();

UEF supports four ModalWindow actions:

• OpenModal action in Modal Window Context
• CloseModal action in Modal Window Context
• OpenPopup action in Modal Window Context
• ClosePopup action Modal Window Context

Note: All the model window operations work with global context and tab context.
