System Modal Dialog

Hi Guys,

How to make an input dialog as system modal? i.e, without getting the input from the user the dialog box should not go to any other control including the parent form.

The following is the code i'm using. (this code makes the dialog box stand at the top but the user can still access other forms)

d = new Dialog("Enter On Hand");
fld = d.addField(TypeId(Qty),"Enter Stock");
d.dialogForm().form().design().left(_x,4);
d.dialogForm().form().design().top(_y,3);
d.formBuildDesign().windowType(FormWindowType::PopUp);
d.run(false);

Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Andrews

if validate result first?

Declare a variable in form parent

Qty valueQTY = 0;

if(d.closedOk())

{

valueQTY =fld.value();

}

when user make clik in the parent form, you validate

if(valueQTY>0)

info("Continue...");

else

info("The QTY is incorrect. Fill to continue..");

not is modal but can function.

What you need it calling form's wait() method with _modal parameter set to true.

You can do it directly (replace d.run() with this):

d.doRun(); d.dialogForm().formRun().wait(true);

Nevertheless I would rather add parm* method to Dialog class and use the value in Dialog.wait(), in the same way as how it's done in AX 2012.

On a side note, this code will disable the AX wokspace, but not the caller form:

...

WinAPI::enableWindow(infoLog.hWnd(), false);

d.run();

WinAPI::enableWindow(infoLog.hWnd(), true);

...

Thanks Roberto for your inputs. My inputs included "0" too. So i think this code will not work for me.
