popup

If you call the ShowAsync command on a MessageDialog object when another MessageDialog object has already been displayed to the user but not dismissed (i.e. you show a popup when another one is already up), an UnauthorizedAccessException is thrown. This can make things difficult when you have multiple threads attempting to alert the user at the same time. My current (stopgap) solution is merely to surround the ShowAsync call with a try/catch block and swallow the exception. This undesirably leads to the user missing out on subsequent notifications. The only other way around this that I can

Is there a way to bypass the following IE popup box: The webapge you are viewing is trying to close the window. Do you want to close this window? Yes|No This is occurring when I add window.close() to the onclick event of an asp.net button control. Your JavaScript code can only close a window without confirmation that was previously opened by window.open().

Given an existing valid SVG document, what's the best way to create "informational popups", so that when you hover or click on certain elements (let's say ) you popup a box with an arbitrary amount (i.e. not just a single line tooltip) of extra information?

I have some popups on my app, it's fullscreen and the following code: content.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)); content.measure(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT); int screenWidth = windowManager.getDefaultDisplay().getWidth(); int screenHeight = windowManager.getDefaultDisplay().getHeight(); int x = screenWidth / 2 - content.getMeasuredWidth() / 2; int y = screenHeight / 2 - content.getMeasuredHeight() / 2; window.showAtLocation(content, Gravity.NO_GRAVITY, x, y); Make the window show centered. But I have another
