@martin: no changes have been made in the behavior in Servoy 5.0/5.1
@ptalbot: just calling the JavaScript code to show those dialogs is just a very small part of what needs to happen, as I'm sure you understand
Servoy supports both modal and non-modal dialogs in both the Smart and Web Client.
The ability to show a dialog in the middle of a method and automatically pause the method until the user has closed the dialog is currently only possible in the Smart Client. Aligning this behavior between the Smart and Web Client is on the todo list, but requires significant engineering effort and depends on a not yet released version of the JavaScript engine Servoy uses.
In the meantime, have a look at the recorded JavaScript Expert webinar (
viewtopic.php?f=26&t=12457&st=0&sk=t&sd=a). In that webinar I show a technique that allows you to simulate the behavior Smart Client behavior in the Web Client.
