Hi

Our client wants to be able to move (by dragging - “windows style”) a dialog box within the browser window. This does not seem to be supported, but are there any good workarounds to make this work?

Hey @Johan18,

I couldn’t figure this one out using the built-in draggable containers - for some reason, I couldn’t get rid of a flicker at the end of the drag. But you can solve it with a coded component and binding your dialog’s position to app variables (or object properties in case you need the position to be persisted).

A quick prototype:
