Dialog

Metro UI provides the ability to easily create dialogs. Dialogs can be predefined or created in runtime.

About dialog

Dialogs inform users about a specific task and may contain critical information, require decisions, or involve multiple tasks. Metro UI build dialog with using next classes: .dialog, .dialog-title, .dialog-content and .dialog-actions and result dialog has next structure:

Use Windows location service?
Bassus abactors ducunt ad triticum. A fraternal form of manifestation is the bliss.

                    <div class="dialog">
                        <div class="dialog-title">Use Windows location service?</div>
                        <div class="dialog-content">
                            Bassus abactors ducunt ad triticum.
                            A fraternal form of manifestation is the bliss.
                        </div>
                        <div class="dialog-actions">
                            <button class="button">Disagree</button>
                            <button class="button primary">Agree</button>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                

Create dialog

Metro UI provides two ways for create dialogs:

  • Predefined method
  • Runtime method

Predefined method

First-off you must create HTML element with special structure and define all actions required for dialog, include dismiss action. Then add any options over data-* attributes. And at the end add an attribute data-role="dialog" to your element for initialization dialog. After the initialization, the dialog will be hidden until it is called.


                    <div class="dialog" data-role="dialog" id="demoDialog1">
                        <div class="dialog-title">Use Windows location service?</div>
                        <div class="dialog-content">
                            Bassus abactors ducunt ad triticum.
                            A fraternal form of manifestation is the bliss.
                        </div>
                        <div class="dialog-actions">
                            <button class="button js-dialog-close">Disagree</button>
                            <button class="button primary js-dialog-close">Agree</button>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <button class="button primary"
                        onclick="Metro.dialog.open('#demoDialog1')">Open dialog</button>

                        title: "Use Windows location service?",
                        content: "<div>Bassus abactors ducunt ad triticum...</div>",
                        closeButton: true
                    });

                    <script>
                        function openDemoDialogActions(){
                            Metro.dialog.create({
                                title: "Use Windows location service?",
                                content: "<div>Bassus abactors ducunt ad triticum...</div>",
                                actions: [
                                    {
                                        caption: "Agree",
                                        cls: "js-dialog-close alert",
                                        onclick: function(){
                                            alert("You clicked Agree action");
                                        }
                                    },
                                    {
                                        caption: "Disagree",
                                        cls: "js-dialog-close",
                                        onclick: function(){
                                            alert("You clicked Disagree action");
                                        }
                                    }
                                ]
                            });
                        }
                    </script>
