Hi,

you should use inline Dialog to achieve that. have a look here

create a inline dialog in The Global Page with Position "inline dialog" and position "inline dialog"

add a static ID to your inline Dialog region. Example inline_id

- to open the Dialog

$('#inline_id').dialog('open');

- to close the dialog

$('#inline_id').dialog('close');

As far as I know this is not possible.

But...

Does anyone know how to modify the page type while running the application?

This is not possible.

Problem:

I need a normal page to work in certain cases as a modal page.

Why? What problem are you trying to solve?

I know I can copy and create modal with the same components, but this makes it difficult to maintain ...

Create the common components on the global page and conditionally display them on two separately defined standard and modal dialog pages. That at least means that the page content and controls are only defined once. Shared validation and processing is not so easy...

How does that address the stated problem? There is no reuse of components and no way for the dialog to be opened by another page.

The Inline Dialog should be create in the Global Page. In that way, it can be open by another Pages.

That doesn't allow the components to be utilised on a standard page. They only exist on a modal pop-up.
