Alert with Confirm

[kevin plummer]

Is there a current or planned way to add ok and cancel to an alert message?

I would like to throw up a warning but let the user choose to continue or cancel.

eg 'Selected records do not equal zero - continue?' OK or Cancel

Bruce maybe your new modular popup window?

Either way it would need to work like clawin code

 If Message('Selected items do not Equal zero.| Do you want to continue?','Reconcile',ICON:QUESTION,BUTTON:Yes+BUTTON:No,BUTTON:No) = BUTTON:Yes

Cheers,

Kevin

Throw up the warning _when_?
After they click on a SAVE button maybe?

> After they click on a SAVE button maybe?

That would be handy sometimes but in this case I am just clicking a button and running some server side code and refreshing the browse. I don't suspect my code would stop and wait for an answer back from the user like in a windows app...

Hallo Bruce,

Is this implemented in NT5?
I hand code some button that simulate a delete action and I need to confirm the action. How can I do that?
I need a message with ok and cancel button.

Thank you!,
Robert

The delete button is a trick animal, partly because of this confirm message. You need to put some JavaScript on the button so that it uses the JavaScript "confirm" command.

Probably your best bet if hand-coding a button is to take a look at a genuine "in-row" delete button and see what it does.

cheers

I know I could do with java script or I could do a form ... but want something more easy :-) like in clarion.
Does NT6 support this?

Your spec is somewhat fuzzy - so I'm noot really sure what "it" is that you're wanting me to support.

The short answer is probably "no".

cheers

Kevin,

You could probably use a jQuery UI dialog window (http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/#modal-confirmation) to achieve this, and you could probably template it (if you want it in a number of places).

Thanks Stu, interesting stuff. It could come in handy for the future. The funny thing about web development for me was it takes a while to get out of the "windows" way of doing stuff. I found a better way to do it without messages popping up.

Cheers,

Kev
