All Implemented Interfaces:
  HasAttachHandlers, HasCloseHandlers<PopupPanel>, HasHandlers, HasSafeHtml, EventListener, EventPreview, AcceptsOneWidget, HasAnimation, HasHTML, HasOneWidget, HasText, HasVisibility, HasWidgets, HasWidgets.ForIsWidget, IsWidget, MouseListener, SourcesPopupEvents, java.lang.Iterable<Widget>

    public class DialogBox

extends DecoratedPopupPanel
implements HasHTML, HasSafeHtml, MouseListener

A form of popup that has a caption area at the top and can be dragged by the user. Unlike a PopupPanel, calls to `PopupPanel.setWidth(String)` and `PopupPanel.setHeight(String)` will set the width and height of the dialog box itself, even if a widget has not been added as yet.

### CSS Style Rules

- .gwt-DialogBox { the outside of the dialog }
- .gwt-DialogBox .Caption { the caption }
- .gwt-DialogBox .dialogContent { the wrapper around the content }
- .gwt-DialogBox .dialogTopLeft { the top left cell }
- .gwt-DialogBox .dialogTopLeftInner { the inner element of the cell }
- .gwt-DialogBox .dialogTopCenter { the top center cell, where the caption is located }
- .gwt-DialogBox .dialogTopCenterInner { the inner element of the cell }
- .gwt-DialogBox .dialogTopRight { the top right cell }
- .gwt-DialogBox .dialogTopRightInner { the inner element of the cell }
- .gwt-DialogBox .dialogMiddleLeft { the middle left cell }
- .gwt-DialogBox .dialogMiddleLeftInner { the inner element of the cell }
- .gwt-DialogBox .dialogMiddleCenter { the middle center cell, where the content is located }
- .gwt-DialogBox .dialogMiddleCenterInner { the inner element of the cell }
- .gwt-DialogBox .dialogMiddleRight { the middle right cell }
- .gwt-DialogBox .dialogMiddleRightInner { the inner element of the cell }
- .gwt-DialogBox .dialogBottomLeft { the bottom left cell }
- .gwt-DialogBox .dialogBottomLeftInner { the inner element of the cell }
- .gwt-DialogBox .dialogBottomCenter { the bottom center cell }
- .gwt-DialogBox .dialogBottomCenterInner { the inner element of the cell }
- .gwt-DialogBox .dialogBottomRight { the bottom right cell }
- .gwt-DialogBox .dialogBottomRightInner { the inner element of the cell }

### Example

>     public class DialogBoxExample implements EntryPoint, ClickHandler {

>       private static class MyDialog extends DialogBox {

>         public MyDialog() {
>           // Set the dialog box's caption.
>           setText("My First Dialog");

>           // Enable animation.
>           setAnimationEnabled(true);

>           // Enable glass background.
>           setGlassEnabled(true);

>           // DialogBox is a SimplePanel, so you have to set its widget property to
>           // whatever you want its contents to be.
>           Button ok = new Button("OK");
>           ok.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() {
>             public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
>               MyDialog.this.hide();
>             }
>           });
>           setWidget(ok);
>         }
>       }

>       public void onModuleLoad() {
>         Button b = new Button("Click me");
>         b.addClickHandler(this);

>         RootPanel.get().add(b);
>       }

>       public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
>         // Instantiate the dialog box and show it.
>         new MyDialog().show();
>       }
>     }

### Use in UiBinder Templates

DialogBox elements in `UiBinder` templates can have one widget child and one <g:caption> child. (Note the lower case "c", meant to signal that the caption is not a runtime object, and so cannot have a `ui:field` attribute.) The body of the caption can be html.

For example:

     <g:DialogBox autoHide="true" modal="true">
       <g:caption><b>Caption text</b></g:caption>
       <g:HTMLPanel>
         Body text
         <g:Button ui:field='cancelButton'>Cancel</g:Button>
         <g:Button ui:field='okButton'>Okay</g:Button>
       </g:HTMLPanel>
     </g:DialogBox>

You may also create your own header caption. The caption must implement `DialogBox.Caption`.

For example:

     <g:DialogBox autoHide="true" modal="true">
       <-- foo is your prefix and Bar is a class that implements DialogBox.Caption-->
       <g:customCaption><foo:Bar/></g:customCaption>
       <g:HTMLPanel>
         Body text
         <g:Button ui:field='cancelButton'>Cancel</g:Button>
         <g:Button ui:field='okButton'>Okay</g:Button>
       </g:HTMLPanel>
     </g:DialogBox>
