JidePopup uses JWindow as the container in order to show itself. By default, JidePopup is not focusable which means no component in the JidePopup will get focus. For example, if you put a JTextField in JidePopup and the JTextField becomes not editable, this is a result of non-focusable JWindow. So if you want components in JidePopup to be able to receive focus, you can either call setFocusable(true) or you can call JidePopup.setDefaultFocusComponent(java.awt.Component) to set a child component as the default focus component.

 thisComponent.getContentPane().add(child)
 

A popup has detached and attached mode.

 thisComponent.getContentPane().setLayout(new GridLayout(1,2))
 

For example, AbstractComboBox uses JidePopup to display the popup. If you want to show a JDialog from the popup, you will have to add the dialog as excluded component. See below for an example.

 JDialog dialog =new JDialog((Frame) JideSwingUtilities.getWindowForComponent(this), true);
 dialog.add(new JTable(10, 4));
 dialog.pack();
 Container ancestorOfClass = SwingUtilities.getAncestorOfClass(JidePopup.class, this); // try to find the JidePopup
 if(ancestorOfClass instanceof  JidePopup) {
 ((JidePopup) ancestorOfClass).addExcludedComponent(dialog);
 }
 dialog.setVisible(true);
 if(ancestorOfClass instanceof  JidePopup) {
 ((JidePopup) ancestorOfClass).removeExcludedComponent(dialog);
 }
 

 thisComponent.getContentPane().add(child)
 

For all standard look and feels shipped with Java 2, the popup list portion of combo box is implemented as a JPopupMenu. A custom look and feel may not implement it this way and will therefore not receive the notification.
Parameters:
  l - the PopupMenuListener to add

This method is public but should not be called by anything other than the UI delegate.

A popup has detached and attached mode. When a popup is in attached, it will act like it's part of the owner (which can be set using JidePopup.setOwner(java.awt.Component) . When owner is moved, the popup will be moved. If the owner is hidden, the popup will hidden. In the other word, it is attached with the owner. In detached mode, popup becomes an indenpendent floating window. It will stay at the same location regardless if owner is moved. It could still be visible when owner is hidden.

true if it's detacted. Otherwise false.

Depending on the detached/attached mode, the resizing behavior may be different. If a popup is detached to a component, it only allows you to resize from bottom, bottom right and right It obviously doesn't make sense to resize from top and top side is aligned with the attached component.

(Notes: in the future we will allow resize from different corner if the popup is shown above owner due to not enough space on the screen). if the popup is resizable.

 thisComponent.getContentPane().setLayout(new GridLayout(1,2))
 

Typically, you call setTimeOut before the popup is visible. But if you do call setTimeOut when popup is already visible (which means the timer is running), we will restart the timer using the new time out value you just set, even the new time out value is the same as the old one. In the other word, this setTimeOut call will always restart the timer if the timer is running.
Parameters:
  timeout - new time out value, in milliseconds. 0 if you don't want popup automatically hides.
