This method is used to add widgets to the Popup. When the widgets are added to the current visible Popup, then the changes will reflect immediately.
Syntax
add(widgets)
Parameters
widgets
Comma separated list of widgets.
Return Values
None
Exceptions
WidgetError
Remarks
Adding a widget to the Popup or Box hierarchy, which is already a part of the other widget hierarchy, will lead to undefined behaviors. You have to explicitly remove the widget from one hierarchy before adding it to another Popup or Box.
Example
//Defining properties for a Popup. var popBasic ={id:"popUp", title:"PopUP",skin:"popSkin",isModal:true, transparencyBehindThePopup:100}; var popLayout ={containerWeight:100, padding:[5,5,5,5]}; var popPSP ={};
//Creating the Popup. var popUp=new kony.ui.Popup(popBasic, popLayout, popPSP); //Adding a label and a button widgets to the popUp. //Here label and button widgets should be created already and made accessible. popUp.add(lbl,btn);

This method is used to add widgets to the Popup container at the specified index. Widget is prepended if index <0 and appended at the end of the container if the index > size+1. Size is the number of widgets already present in the container. If a new widget is added or removed will reflect immediately from the Popup hierarchy model perspective, however the changes are displayed when the Popup appears. When the widgets are added to the current visible Popup, then the changes will reflect immediately. Adding a widget to the Popup or Box hierarchy, which is already a part of the other widget hierarchy, will lead to undefined behaviors. You have to explicitly remove the widget from one hierarchy before adding it to another Popup or Box.

addAt(widgetref,index,animation)
Parameters
widgetref
Reference of the name of the widget.
index
Index number at which the widget is to be added.

Specifies the popup that must be displayed for the context and also helps you to position the popup on the screen. The popup can be positioned relative to a widget on the screen and setcontext enables you to do that.
The context contains information regarding the widget for which the popup must be shown and also the anchoring of the popup on the widget (left, right, center, top, or bottom).
Additionally for the iPhone platform, you can choose to specify the sizetoanchorwidth, a boolean property. If you set the value to true, the popup width is made equal to the width of the anchor. If the value is false (default value), the popup takes the width allocated in the popup properties.
Syntax
setContext(context)
Parameters
context
Set of key value pairs providing information about the widget and the anchoring used to position the popup on the screen.
Following are the key value pairs of this JSObject:
sizetoanchorwidth [Boolean] - Mandatory (applicable on iPhone)
Specifies if the width of the popup has to be the same as that of the widget relative to which it has been anchored.
anchor [String] - Mandatory
It is a set of flags that are used to anchor the popup with respect to the dimensions of the widget. Possible values are ("top", "bottom", "right", "left"). Additionally native popupover style (POPUP_TYPE_NATIVE_STYLE) on iPad supports "any". When you set this property, the popup is anchored to the best possible position around another widget.
widget (widgetref) - Mandatory
Reference to an existing widget with respect to which the Popup has to be anchored (Pass the Formid if the popup is to be positioned with respect to a Form. This Form is assumed to be the form on which the popup will be overlaid).
Return Values
None
Exceptions
None
