Lock parent form during dialog popup

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Ahmad Zbeeb 150

Hello,

I am trying to force the user to respond to a popup dialog(RunBase) form when changing the the SalesPrice on the salesLine. 

I have set the dialog prompt to Popup using:

dialog.formBuildDesign().windowType(FormWindowType::PopUp);

This would keep the dialog on top, but the user can still disregard the popup or navigate away from the record

Is there a way to lock the parent form till the user respond to the popup?

Thanks for nay help.

    If you call FormRun.wait(true), the form will be modal, i.e. users won't be able to work with any other form.

    To use it, you have to open the form from code like this:

    FormRun fr = classFactory.formRunClass(new Args(formStr(YourModalForm)));
fr.init();
fr.run();
fr.wait(true);

    Or you can extend the Dialog class (run() method) to support the same behavior.

    Rather than extending the dialog class, you could just use the Dialog.parmIsModal() method. Here is an example: timsaxgrind.blogspot.com/.../making-dialog-form-stay-on-top.html
