Accessing the TitleBar close event from a grid button

I am launching a shieldwindow from shield Tree View.
The shieldwindow has a single ‘close’ button on the TitleBar as per code below:
var dbwindow = $("#mapworkpanel").shieldWindow({
width: "60%",
height: "100%",
appendToBody:false,
draggable: false,
position: { left: 700, top: 0 },
title: "Dictionary Definitions",
titleBarButtons: [ 'close' ],
events: {
close: function(e) {
//
}
},
content: {
remote: {
url:thisurl,
iframe: true,
}
},
modal: false,
}).swidget();
The URL launches a shield UI grid with a few buttons including a Close Button.
When I click the “x” button on the Titlebar the form closes with no issues.
How can I access the TitleBar close button from the Close Button on the grid?
I appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Mario

Hopefully I'm understanding your question correctly, but I'm not sure why you need access to the actual title bar's close button. In the case you're just looking to close the window an additional way, there's an API function in the Shield Window widget for that. Assuming your dbwindow reference is available, you should just be able to call dbwindow.close() in the event handler for your grid's close button.

jQuery ui dialog box always positioned to top left

My jquery UI dialog box always gets positioned to top left no matter what I specify in the position attribute. I tried adding a css position to the div too. But it was of no use.
Can someone help me with this? Thanks.
$("<div>----Play again?---</div>").dialog({
title: 'Game Over!',
height: 'auto',
width: 'auto',
autoOpen: false,
draggable: true,
modal: false,
position: 'center',
buttons:{
"Yes": function() {
startGame();
$(this).dialog('close');
},
"No": function() {
alert('\nYour Score is: '+score+'\nGood Bye '+playerName+'!');
$(this).dialog('close');
}
}
});

I'm pretty sure you shouldnt need to set a position:
$("#dialog").dialog();
should centre by default.
I did have a look at the article, and also checked what it says on the official jquery-ui site about positioning a dialog : and in it were discussed 2 states of: initialise and after initialise.
Code examples - (taken from jQuery UI 2009-12-03)
Initialize a dialog with the position option specified.
$('.selector').dialog({ position: 'top' });
Get or set the position option, after init.
//getter
var position = $('.selector').dialog('option', 'position');
//setter
$('.selector').dialog('option', 'position', 'top');
I think that if you were to remove the position attribute you would find it centres by itself else try the second setter option where you define 3 elements of "option" "position" and "center".

Right Click Menu Event using Javascript

I'm working on a new project and I need to create an event where a menu list will show up once I right click on a label. Any idea how to do this?
When you click on a list from the menu box, a dialog box will appear. I do know how to create a dialog box but my problem is the right click event.
var createDialog = function(){
dialog = new Ext.LayoutDialog(id+'container', {
title: "DXFエクスポート",
width: 350,
height: 400,
shadow: true,
proxyDrag: false,
resizable: true,
modal: false,
autoScroll:true,
center: {
autoScroll:true
},
south: {
height: 60
}
});
I hope someone can give me an idea how to do mouse events.

Colorbox positioning on top of another element

I've got quite an issue with positioning of colorbox. The methods described on official website http://www.jacklmoore.com/colorbox/ are not quite enough for my purpose. The thing is that I have button opening the colorbox and I need to position it "over the button" (button is 50px height, colorbox is something about 700px height so I need to center it over the button (something like 300px top of the button).
I have tried basic repositioning with jquery in onOpen and onLoad function in colorbox like:
onOpen:function() {
$('#colorbox').removeAttr('top');
$('#colorbox').css('top','200px');
},
It works but colorbox settings automatically overwrite those settings right after onOpen or onLoad and colorbox is positioned in center of the viewport again.
So I am basically calling for help, colorbox positioning settings like top, left etc. are simply not enough for positioning on top of the button element.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: full code below
$(".reserve_").live('click',function() {
var loadUrl = $(this).attr("href");
$.colorbox({
innerWidth:660,
innerHeight:720,
returnFocus: true,
overlayClose: true,
fixed: false,
iframe: true,
href: loadUrl,
opacity: 0.6,
reposition: true,
onOpen:function() {
$('#colorbox').removeAttr('top');//test
$('#colorbox').css('top','200px');//test
},
onLoad: function() {
$('#colorbox').removeAttr('top');//test
$('#colorbox').css('top','200px');//test
},
onClosed:function() {
}
});
return false;
});
EDIT 2: link on jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/zS8J8/8/ (sorry about the messy code in CSS and HTML)

The jsfiddle was helpful, I was able to use the same code as you and get it working.
This was tested in firefox 20, chrome 26, IE 9 on Win 7. The "Open Colorbox" link isn't visible in IE using your HTML, but if you move your mouse in that area, you'll see the cursor change and if you click, Colorbox will open in the correct location.
Here's the HTML, I changed class="rezervuj" to id="rezervuj" because we're keying on a single element rather than a bunch of images:
<h3 style="margin-bottom: 300px;">TOP OF THE PAGE</h3>
<div class="unitKontejner">
<div style="float:right;">
<a id="rezervuj" href="http://www.imgur.com">
<div class="reserveIt">
<div class="reserveIt-content">
open colorbox »
</div>
</div>
</a>
</div>
</div>
Here's the script that you can put in the head:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
// I removed the options that were set to the default.
// The top and left can be left out or set to a default,
// I used them as a test to see the difference when the event hook is used.
$("#rezervuj").colorbox({
iframe:true,
innerWidth:660,
innerHeight:720,
opacity: 0.6,
top: 0,
left: 0
});
// Use the "cbox_complete" event hook.
// It allows the colorbox div to be positioned after it opens,
// but before the content is loaded.
$(document).bind('cbox_complete', function(){
// Grab the position of the button,
// colorbox can be positioned relative to it.
var pos = $(rezervuj).position();
//console.log(pos);
// Set the position of the colorbox div
// You can add to or subtract from the pos values
// Example: top: (pos.top + 20) + "px"
$("#colorbox").css({
position: "absolute",
top: pos.top + "px",
left: pos.left + "px"
}).show();
});
});
</script>

you can also try this.
$.colorbox({
width: "600px", height: "500px", inline: false, overlayClose: false, escKey: true, iframe: true,
onComplete: function () {
$('#colorbox').removeAttr('top');//test
$('#colorbox').css('top', '100px');//test
$('#colorbox').removeAttr('display');//test
$('#colorbox').css('display', 'block');//test
},
onLoad: function () {
$('#colorbox').removeAttr('display');//test
$('#colorbox').css('display', 'none');//test
},
});

Jquery dialog resizing only happens the first time it's opened

I have this code for a JQuery a dialog for a div containing a gridview that loads with a lists of tasks. The dialog fits to the contents OK, but if hundreds of tasks are loaded the dialog gets too big and can't be resized by hand, so I needed to code a way for it to open with a manageable size.
Before anyone suggests it, I tried setting the max-height property on my div to 500px and that worked fine except the div wouldn't fill the whole dialog if the dialog got higher than 500px, which we want it to. I also tried setting the maxHeight property on the dialog directly but that only takes effect when you resize the dialog by hand, not when the dialog opens. And when the dialog opens bigger than the screen that can't be done.
So instead I wrote this code which declares the dialog, then if more than 20 tasks are loaded the dialog is supposed to be resized to 500px high. That way the div inside fills the dialog completely at all times and the dialog size stays managable.
function ShowReferedTasks(title, s, taskCount) {
//On crée le dialog à partir de la même div
$('#litReferedTasks').dialog({
autoOpen: true,
modal: true,
resizable: true,
show: 'drop',
hide: 'drop',
width: 800,
minHeight: 0,
title: 'Tâche' + s + ' référée' + s + ' de ' + title
});
//if more than 20 refered tasks are found
if (taskCount > 20) {
$('#litReferedTasks').dialog('option', 'height', 500);
$('#litReferedTasks').dialog('option', 'position', 'center');
}
}
This code is called from a button in each line of a parent gridview, loading each line's tasks.
Here is what happens when I refresh my page and flush the cache (ctrl+F5), then open some task lists.
If I open one list of tasks containing more than 20 tasks (a dialog that will need to be refreshed), it works fine.
If I open any list of tasks, even one with less than 20 tasks that doesn't need resizing, then close it, and open one with more than 20 tasks, the dialog opens and the gridview is filled perfectly but the resizing doesn't work, the dialog is too big to fit on the screen, and can't be resized by hand.
Basically the resize part of my code only works on the first dialog I open after refreshing my page and flushing the cache. I think something must be kept in memory after the first time a dialog is opened, but I'm a newbie with JQuery and JS in general and I can't find the answer.
<div id="litReferedTasks" style="background-color: White; display: none; overflow:auto; height:95%;">
<asp:GridView ID="gvReferedTasks" runat="server" OnRowDataBound="gvReferedTasks_RowDataBound" Width="97.5%" Visible="false">
</asp:GridView>
<asp:Label ID="lblNoReferedTasks" runat="server" Visible="false" Width="100%"></asp:Label>
</div>
Any help?

Okay, so if you set the option after the dialog has been opened, height may not have an effect, but if you put height into the initial dialog creation code, it should have a set height just fine:
function ShowReferedTasks(title, s, taskCount) {
var dialogOptions = {
autoOpen: true,
modal: true,
resizable: true,
show: 'drop',
hide: 'drop',
width: 800,
minHeight: 0,
title: 'Tâche' + s + ' référée' + s + ' de ' + title
};
//if more than 20 refered tasks are found
if (taskCount > 20) {
dialogOptions.height = 500
}
//On crée le dialog à partir de la même div
$('#litReferedTasks').dialog(dialogOptions);
}

I think you are over-complicating the .dialog function. The easiest thing to do is create the dialog once with autoOpen set to false, rather than trying to re-initialize it every time. I think you'd have better luck with something like this:
// Do this once when the document is ready
$(function() {
$('#litReferedTasks').dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
resizable: true,
show: 'drop',
hide: 'drop',
width: 800,
minHeight: 0
});
});
function ShowReferedTasks(title, s, taskCount) {
$('#litReferedTasks').dialog('option', 'title', 'Tâche' + s + ' référée' + s + ' de ' + title);
if (taskCount > 20) {
$('#litReferedTasks').dialog('option', {
height: 500,
position: 'center'
});
}
$('#litReferedTasks').dialog('open');
}
