How to make it possible to give in some input?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hey guys,

I have created an action and when that is exectued, the user has to give in some content, like a number.

How can I create such an input box? Like you can see in the following.

I tried it with "Window" as a dialog variable, but after executing my action, the system said, that input is obsolete...

My second question is: Is it possible to create on the field something like a drilldown?

When the user will execute the action, he or she will not always know from the beginning, which number has to be entered.

So it would be great, if the system can show here all available Purchase Invoices and the user then can select one of them.

Something like this:

Thank you ;)

    There can be 2 suggestions here, depending how elaborate this has to be

    1. Use a standard dialog page docs.microsoft.com/.../touring-the-roletailored-client-pages

    2. Create a Wizard. See more docs.microsoft.com/.../walkthrough--creating-a-wizard-page

    You need to create a new page, and call that page using runmodal.

    Using a new page, you can create field with drilldown as well.

    For the first screen you can use VB Input

    InputBox@1240060008 : DotNet "'Microsoft.VisualBasic, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction" RUNONCLIENT;

    InputValue := InputBox.InputBox(Text010,'User Input','',300,300);

    If you want to have a lookup then you need to create a new page and add the logic on the assistedit trigger of the field or specify the table relation
