Posted on by Alberto Tapia 90

Hi,

I am having a problem with a requirement, in the requirement I am working I need to display two report dialogs at the same time..

No I have this:

       menuFunction = new MenuFunction("ProdPicklistShowDialog", MenuItemType::Output);

       menuFunction.run(args);

       menuFunctionPhantom = new MenuFunction("ProdPicklistPhantomShowDialog", MenuItemType::Output);

       menuFunctionPhantom.run(phtmARgs);

But this triggers the first dialog report, then after I run or cancel the first dialog report appears the second one, I need to displays both dialogs at the same time.

Any idea how to achieve this ?

    As dialog box get displayed using Propmt() method when first report is run, so system waits till user enters the value and clicks ok/ cancel to move to next statement execution.

    if you write code like this it will not work..

    you need to write this code in such as way that execution happens in two thread

    Follow following link for Thread programming in X++

    Please verify and let me know if you need technical support related to this.

    I don't think the Thread class will help you in any way. You would have to use detached forms instead of usual dialogs.

    Nevertheless I wouldn't expect users really filling two dialogs in the same time, therefore I suggest reconsidering your design. Maybe you want to use a common dialog and then pass the right data to each report.

    Thanks so far for the ideas, the Thread class does not help me, I already try different approach using that solution...

    And my customer actually want to trigger two dialog reports at the same time, double check trying to propose other approach but they want to see two dialog reports at the same time (this is related to some customization on the picking list report of a po and phantom items....)

    Still have the problem....

    What I suggested were detached forms. If you don't want to do it, you'll have to find an alternative solution by yourself.
