Davout,

You might try doing something like this:

main.zul

<zk>
	<window id="win" onReceive="getModalData();">
		<button label="Open" onClick='Executions.createComponents("modalWindow.zul", win,null);'/>
		<label id="lbl"/>
		<zscript>
			void getModalData(){
				lbl.setValue(event.getData());
			}
		</zscript>
	</window>
</zk>

modalWindow.zul

<zk>
	<window title="please input" border="normal" mode="modal">
		<attribute name="onClose">
			Events.postEvent(new Event("onReceive",self.getParent(), tb.getValue()));
		</attribute>
		<textbox id="tb" />
		<button label="Accept" onClick='Events.postEvent(new Event("onClose",self.getParent()));'/>
	</window>
</zk>

Hopefully this will give you an idea or two.

Regards,

Todd

There are samples of such modal search listboxes in my blog. All of them gives back a selected object.
The little trick is the private constructor and a static method for calling them.

call: Branch branch = BranchSearchListBox.show(parentComponent);

Such a pure java solution can be modified in 10 minutes to work for an other search approach.

PS: See such a searchListBox working live in the customer dialog module here .
In the dialog you must first click the CRUD 'edit' button than you can try three of these searchListBoxes. 'simple', 'advanced' and 'extended'

Hi Stephan

In your case, i think you created the search customer in pure java. But in my case, i have a seperate zul and controller using MVC.
And also, i am calling using execute.create components.

So in this case, how we can receive the return value ?

Can you please help me

Hi Senthilchettyin,

For separate zul files, you can use EventQueue. Refer to this document
