how to position smartGWT dialog

I am trying for hours now to move my dialog in smartGWT, but with no luck.

This is my code:

            Dialog dlg = new Dialog();

            ListGridRecord[] h = scoringGrid.getRecords();
            HLayout chart = new HLayout();
            vlayout.addMember(chart);

            dlg.addMember(highChart(h));
            dlg.moveBy(500, 900);
            dlg.setHeight("400px");
            dlg.setWidth("700px");
            dlg.show();

I also tried: setLeft, setTop, setRect, without any effect.
My dialog always displays at the same location.

Any ideas?

Solution

  • Dialog is a subClass of Window. So you can invoke the method setRect which is inherited.

    From the Javadoc:

    public void setRect(int left, int top, int width,  int height)

    // Set all four coordinates, relative to the enclosing context, at once.

    If you don't see the change perhaps you would have to redraw in some cases I found it necessary.
