ShowFormInDialog Issue

Classic Servoy
1

Hi All,

I am trying to build a generic “Dialog Module” as a replacement of the dialogs plugin but to work on the client and the web…

However, I have noticed that when showing a form in dialog in the modal mode = true:

  • in the servoy client, all statements after the showFormInDialog will wait until the form is closed,
  • while in the Servoy web the code will continue the execution till the end of the script.

Any suggestion to workaround it, or is this a bug?

That is currently how it works, allthough that beahvior might be changed in a future release so teh webclient behaves just as the smart client.

Try this. :)

/*
SintPro - 2007

Takes as arguments the title, the message, the names of the two buttons and the names of the methods to execute

SmartClient: the dialog stop other code execution and when finished it returns the status:
first button = 1
Second button = 2
Dialog closed without pushing buttons = 0

WebClient: the dialog doesn't stop other code execution and does not return anything.

Example call (SmartClient):

	var choice = globals.mod_webdialog_showDialog('Confirmation Request','Delete this record only or all the displayed records?',
	'Only this record','All records','globals.delete()','globals.deleteAll()');
	
Example call (WebClient):

	globals.mod_webdialog_showDialog('Confirmation Request','Delete this record only or all the displayed records?',
	'Only this record','All records','globals.delete()','globals.deleteAll()');


*/

var title =  arguments[0]
var message =  arguments[1]
var btn1 =  arguments[2]
var btn2 =  arguments[3]
var mtd1 = arguments[4]
var mtd2 = arguments[5]

// Init the global vars for storing the methods names
mod_webdialog_mtd1 = mtd1
mod_webdialog_mtd2 = mtd2 

if(title && message && btn1 && btn2)
{
	// Set the buttons
	forms.sintpro_webdialog_dialog.elements.btn1.text = btn1
	forms.sintpro_webdialog_dialog.elements.btn2.text = btn2
	
	// Set the message
	globals.g_webdialog_text = message
	
	// Reset the status
	globals.g_webdialog_status = null
	
	// Show the dialog
	application.showFormInDialog(forms.sintpro_webdialog_dialog,-1,-1,-1,-1,title,false,false,'webdialog_mod',true)
}
else
{
	return null;
}
