Hi,
I am trying to build out an intellij plugin that adds a button to the toolbar - and upon clicking I want to create a window that can be filled with HTML compatible text (or some way formattable wrt background color, scrollable etc).
I have used AnAction to create a button thats added to the tool bar, but when I use Messages.showMessageDialog, the output is very constrained and not formattable (I also see the Java icon that I cannot get rid of).
Instead I tried using Messages.configureMessagePaneUi(textpane,"Test") - but am unable to actually render the pane (i.e. nothing shows up).
Any chance you can help me with sample code to be able to render content into a new window upon click of a plugin button?
Ideally I am looking to render more formatted content (e.g. HTML formatted with controlled background color, and including uri referenced images)
thanks.

Hello Ram,
here is one way to do this:
static void formatted(Editor editor, String html, String title) {
JBPopupFactory factory = JBPopupFactory.getInstance();
BalloonBuilder builder =
factory.createHtmlTextBalloonBuilder(html, MessageType.INFO, null);
builder.setTitle(title);
builder.setFillColor(JBColor.background());
Balloon b = builder.createBalloon();
JComponent comp = editor.getComponent();
Rectangle r = comp.getBounds();
RelativePoint p = new RelativePoint(comp, new Point(r.x + r.width, r.y + r.height));
b.show(p, Balloon.Position.atRight);
}
Thanks! This was super helpful.
Just a couple of more help:
+ How do I set the size of the ballon and make it scrollable? Its very small and not big enough to display my content - and I don't see a width or height params.
+ Is there a way to not tie this to the editor? i.e. can i display a window even if i am not editing specific code/config files?
Thanks.

here is how you could set height & width:
static void formatted(Editor editor, String html, String title, Rectangle bounds) {
JBPopupFactory factory = JBPopupFactory.getInstance();
BalloonBuilder builder =
factory.createHtmlTextBalloonBuilder(html, MessageType.INFO, null);
builder.setTitle(title);
builder.setFillColor(JBColor.background());
Balloon b = builder.createBalloon();
JComponent comp = editor.getComponent();
Rectangle r = comp.getBounds();
int x1 = r.x + r.width;
int y1 = r.y + r.height;
Point po = new Point(x1, y1);
Point p1 = new Point(x1 - (int)bounds.getWidth(), y1 - (int)bounds.getHeight());
bounds.setLocation(p1);
b.setBounds(bounds);
RelativePoint p = new RelativePoint(comp, po);
b.show(p, Balloon.Position.atRight);
}
I do not know how to do this.
Please dig into https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community.
If you find the answer, be kind to post it here.
Thanks. The issue I am having is that the rendered HTML is cut off and I am not sure how to expand the view window.

here is another version which looks a bit better:
static void formatted(Editor editor,
String html,
String title,
@Nullable Rectangle rect) {
JComponent comp = editor.getComponent();
RelativePoint p = getRelativePoint(comp);
Balloon b = getBalloon(html, title, rect, comp);
b.show(p, Balloon.Position.atRight);
}
@NotNull
private static Balloon getBalloon(String html,
String title,
@Nullable Rectangle rect,
JComponent comp) {
JBPopupFactory factory = JBPopupFactory.getInstance();
BalloonBuilder builder =
factory.createHtmlTextBalloonBuilder(html, MessageType.INFO, null);
builder.setTitle(title);
builder.setFillColor(JBColor.background());
Balloon b = builder.createBalloon();
if (rect != null) {
Point p = getBalloonpoint(comp);
rect.setLocation(p);
b.setBounds(rect);
}
return b;
}
private static Point getBalloonpoint(JComponent comp) {
return getRelativePoint(comp).getPoint();
}
@NotNull
private static RelativePoint getRelativePoint(JComponent comp) {
JBPopupFactory factory = JBPopupFactory.getInstance();
return factory.guessBestPopupLocation(comp);
}
Ram, are you passing valid HTML?
wrapped in tags, styled etc?
I just checked: the popup window size auto adjusts to the content.
