Hi Roger,

Thanks Chuck. I'm using the first option but it is not quite working as desired although it is close. open() is a static method so I placed the call inside a method on my page. Then I conditionally call open or do nothing as needed.

When I call it from a WOHyperlink or WOSubmitButton, I get the _javascript_ as plain text replacing the page contents. This is not a surprise so I changed to the Ajax equivalents. (that may have been part of the original problem) These launch the dialog properly. The action handlers for the dialog use AjaxModalDialog.close( context()) to dismiss the dialog.

Yes, you can’t mix and match the normal controls and the Ajax ones.

I mentioned that mostly for other people finding this thread. The original page had elements that were not using Ajax so it didn't work until I changed them. Pretty obvious in hindsight.

The AlertPopup basically presents a message where you answer yes or no. The calling page should handle the flow once the dialog is dismissed. How do I accomplish this? The next page may require additional data that the AlertPop up shouldn't have to deal with. onClose discards the return results. I also tried onCloseBeforeUpdate but that didn't seem to get called. Is there a similar hook? I didn't see one in the source.

Not sure, but I think this is what you are looking for:

* Ajax action method for closing the NotificationDialog about the purge being initiated.
* Changes to Search mode and refreshes page.
*/
public void searchAgain()
{
logger.info("Purge acknowleged");
goToSearchMode();
didPurge = false;
AjaxUtils.redirectTo(context().page());
}

Yes, I think this is what I am looking for.

Thanks Chuck

I am showing the relevant code here.

Main Page:

alertDialog: AjaxModalDialog

{

id = "alertDialogID";

autoFocusing = false;

centerVertically = true;

locked = true;

transitions = false;

label = "Warning! Unsaved changes";// Text of link

title = "Warning! Unsaved changes";// Text of Dialog

closeValue = "x";

showOpener = true;// false may be OK since no direct link

width = 600;

height = 500;

action = alertHandler;

onOpen = onOpen;

onClose = onClose;

onCloseBeforeUpdate=onCloseBeforeUpdate;

}

public WOActionResults launchAlertDialog()

{

boolean isPageDirty = determineIfDirty();

if ( isPageDirty )

AjaxModalDialog.open( context(), "alertDialogID" );

returnnull;

}

public WOActionResults onOpen()

{

log.debug( "onOpen called" );

returnnull;// ignored

}

public WOActionResults onClose()

{

log.debug( "onClose called" );

return null;// ignored

}

public Boolean onCloseBeforeUpdate()

{

log.debug( "onCloseBeforeUpdate called" );

returntrue;

}

public WOActionResults alertHandler()

{

AlertPopup nextPage = pageWithName( AlertPopup.class );

nextPage.setAlertParent( this );

return nextPage;

}

public WOActionResults cancel()

{

WOComponent nextPage = null;

boolean isPageValid = false;

if ( !isPageValid )

launchAlertDialog();

else { * * * }

return nextPage;

}

/* NOTE: MUST use AjaxSubmitButton or AjaxHyperlink. WOSubmitButton or WOHyperlink wont work */

cancel: AjaxSubmitButton

{

value = "Cancel";

action = cancel;

}

AlertPopup page:

/* I used a Form but had similar results with AjaxHyperlink */

alertForm: ERXWOForm

{

id = "alertForm";

multipleSubmit = true;

embedded = true;

}

no: AjaxSubmitButton

{

action = noAction;

value = "No";

}

yes: AjaxSubmitButton

{

action = yesAction;

value = "Yes";

}

public WOActionResults yesAction()

{

_alertParent.takeValueForKey( Boolean.TRUE, "alertResult" );

AjaxModalDialog.close( context() );

return null;

}

public WOActionResults noAction()

{

_alertParent.takeValueForKey( Boolean.FALSE, "alertResult" );

AjaxModalDialog.close( context() );

returnnull;

}

Hi.

What is the correct way to open an AjaxModalDialog programmatically after evaluating some criteria? I know that I can call it via _javascript_ using openAMD_<ID>(). But that isn't exactly what I'm looking for. Since I need to evaluate what they have done first, I guess I would need to update the page in order to trigger the action to open the dialog? It also closes the current window and processes the action binding. I want to be able to present a warning message when the user presses a button/hyperlink (such as cancel) and there are changes pending. They can then choose to return to the page or continue and discard any changes. I have other similar situations where the user should be alerted to the consequences of their actions and given a chance to correct, ignore or take another action.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Roger
