Currently onShow is not passed any parameters when used in the “window” UI component. I would like to suggest passing the “node” variable to the “onShow” event so the onShow routine has the field that activated the popup window. This is a simple change to line 9040 of touchui_debug.js where it would be changed to:
this.callEvent(“onShow”,[node]);
The use case for this change is using a same popup window for multiple fields. For example I created a popup numeric pad that will be used for entry of all numeric only fields. This allow the user to use the popup window to enter simple numeric data instead of using the built in keyboard. This speeds up the entry of numeric data.
PS - If there is another way of obtaining the field that activated the popup, I would be happy to use it.
Thanks,
Kris
