Popups

Popups are dialogs that are children of other dialogs. There's nothing special about a popup - they're regular dialogs.

Opening a popup

A dialog can open another dialog as a popup by calling Dialog.popup(). While a dialog has a popup open:

• it will be rendered slightly translucently
• it cannot be interacted with and all its widgets are deactivated (active set to false)

Once the popup is closed, the parent returns to how it was before. The popup dialog is its own dialog, and can be interacted with in the same way as any other dialog.

Popup dialogs can also have further popup dialogs.

Replace

Alternatively, by setting replace = true when calling popup(), the popup dialog will replace the parent dialog entirely. The parent dialog will be closed.
