Hi,

I want a dialog that has three radio buttons
  • option1
  • option2
  • option3 and if we tick option 3 next to it (to the right) a text control should appear
how to do option3 with a str control next to it?

The dialog shouldn't be a form, just using the dialog class

    1. You want to separate your logic from the user interface.  This makes the code more reusable and the code can be used without being forced to load the form. E.g. batch processes are ujnable interact with the user interface.
    2. Short answer, enums are the way to go. There are other ways but then you will have to get creative.
    3. I did a quick test and realised that this is tricky because of the vertical alignment of the controls.

    You have to create the form during 'runtime' using the classfactory like in the prompt method below. The code below is an example of using your own form as a dialog and may need some adjustments besides changing the form name to your own form name and adding logic to the run method. I have not tested the code example below yet but I have used this pattern many before for small simple operations.
     
    You need an enum for the values but you can change the way it's displayed on the form.

    Add a form group control to the form and then add the two controls to the form group control.
     
    public final class MyCustomRunnableClassWithCustomFormAsDialog
{	
	private FormRun mFormRun;

	public void run()
	{
		// Add logic here.
	}

	public boolean prompt()
	{
		Object obj;

		mFormRun = classFactory.formRunClass(new Args(formStr(MyCustomFormDialog))); // Change form name.
		mFormRun.init();
		mFormRun.run();
		mFormRun.wait();

		if (mFormRun.closedOk()) // Did the user click OK?
		{
			obj = mFormRun;
			// Retrieve form values set class variable here.
		}

		return mFormRun.closedOk();
	}

	public static void main(Args _args)
	{
		MyCustomRunnableClassWithCustomFormAsDialog operation = new MyCustomRunnableClassWithCustomFormAsDialog();

		if (operation.prompt())
		{
			operation.run();
		}
	}	
}

    Correct, you could just use your form as a dialog. I've done this before and it also works. You have to create your form during runtime though,

    Hi,
     
    You can use Sys Operation framework to implement your requirements, check the following link, it maybe helps you:

    Hello,
     
    With the SysOperation framework, you can create a custom dialog (with the text field to the right of the option control) and specify to use your custom dialog by overriding the SysOperationController.templateForm() override method.

    Hello,
     
    I recommend using the SysOperation framework and a UIBuilder class. With your own UIBuilder class, you can show and hide the text field when a certain value in another field (option / enum) is selected. Have a look at some SysOperation framework examples and also some examples with a UIBuilder class (extending from SysOperationAutomaticUIBuilder).
