Forcing response from commandButton in a popup
I have a popup...pretty simple use of a form, a couple of outputPanels and a couple of commandButtons (shown below
...probably don't need to explain the little bits, or do i?).
I'm wondering if i can *force* the user to click one of the buttons before any more input is taken on the screen...
ie in effect "disabling" everything else on the screen until they choose 1 button or the other.
Any ideas?
Thank You!
<apex:form >
<apex:outputPanel id="ShowPopup">
<apex:outputPanel styleClass="popupBackground" layout="block" rendered="{!displayPopup2Buttons}"/>
<apex:outputPanel styleClass="custPopup" layout="block" rendered="{!displayPopup2Buttons}">
<apex:outputLabel escape="false" value="{!messageInPopup}"/>
<br/><br/><br/>
<apex:commandButton style="align:center;" value="{!buttonLabel1}" action="{!closePopup}" rerender="ShowPopup">
<apex:param name="popupButtonChosen" value="1" assignTo="{!popupButtonChosen}" />
</apex:commandButton>
<apex:commandButton value="{!buttonLabel2}" style="align:center;" action="{!closePopup}" rerender="ShowPopup">
<apex:param name="popupButtonChosen" value="2" assignTo="{!popupButtonChosen}" />
</apex:commandButton>
</apex:outputPanel>
</apex:outputPanel>
</apex:form>

It depends on the VF component that you wish to disable. Example, You can use the 'disabled' attribute to disable the Command Buttons using a condition.
An example that I tested and works for the command button -
<apex:page standardController="Lead"> <apex:form id="form"> <apex:variable var="eButton" value="1" /> <apex:pageBlock id="block1"> <apex:commandButton action="{! create }" value="New Lead" disabled="{! IF(eButton = '1', true, false) }" /> </apex:pageBlock> </apex:form> </apex:pageThis code disables the New Lead button when value of variable eButton = 1.Thanks

Thank you!
I was trying to ask if there was a way for a commandButton to "take over" and all other input objects on the page would be disabled until the button was satisfied/clicked/... Or is there a form or an outputPanel or a ? to put the commandButton in to that would completely take over.
Its a common concept...you popup a window and you want the user to answer the question or acknowledge the information before *anything* else happens..that's what i'm after.
