Message Boxes
Posted: 08 Oct 07 12:04 PM

Hello all,
I am trying to come up with a simple message box that I can use anywhere within the 7.2 web client, especially business rules. Now I am aware of the...
this.DialogService.ShowMessage("Hello World");
that Sage provided us, but it has a number of limitations on where it can be used. So I did a little research and came up with this...
System.Text.StringBuilder stringBuilder = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
stringBuilder.Append(@"<script language='javascript'>");
stringBuilder.Append(@"alert( """ + ex.ToString() + @""" );");
stringBuilder.Append(@"</script>");
if (this.Page.IsStartupScriptRegistered("myDebugMsg") != true)
{
this.Page.RegisterStartupScript("myDebugMsg", stringBuilder.ToString());
}
Now I'm a complete newb to web development, so I don't understand why this works, but just that using the Page.RegisterStartupScript seems to work. My question is, should I be doing it this way, is their a better way, or is using this going to cause me any trouble down the line?

Hi Jeff,
It depends what you want the script to do - if you need it to run on every load of the page, or every repaint of the page (a repaint is different to a load). The above is the best way to register javascript with the page using AA - but will only run when the page is first loaded, but if you click save for example that will cause a repaint event, and the above will not run (not in my experience anyway), you would have to literally refresh the page. Whenever I need to show a message box etc. I use the dialogservice route and put it in a loadaction (ensuring onrepaintevent is set to true). This is not ideal though as it needs a post back and is not as instant as a javascript message. This is one of my main beefs with developing quickforms in AA, its quite difficult to get your own javascript into the page and firing reliably...
Cheers,
Nick |

There is a property for message boxes built in to the dialog service in quick forms. Try this code snippet:
this.DialogService.ShowMessage("Hello World"); |

| Thanks Nick. That makes more sense to what it's doing. |
