The only method to display a message box to the user from a plugin is using an exception from the validation stage. You could use javascript however, perform a simple OData query on the On_Save event of the form, and display an alert box with whatever information you'd like, and cancel the saving of the form.

Hi Paul,

This isn't possible. You can pass a message from a plugin to a user by throwing an exception, the user will get the exception message but they wont be able to reply.

I would suggest a dialog using custom workflow activities or using of Onload, OnSave Javascript functions .

Hi Paul,

You can display a popup by throwing an exception, but why would you do that?

Thanks.

throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("text");

This shouldn't be used for anything but for testing purposes.

Hi Paul

If you need this pop up (for prompting) I recommend you to use custom action validation.

Then you use the return to ask the user still proceed or not.

I used this before.

If plugin as long as you use odata to proceed it you can show it by manipulating the result.

But again this doesnt mean you can a pop up from plugin. You just use the plugin as validation and the rest you proceed yourself and you might need another flag field to skip the next validation in the plugin otherwise it will keep in looping

I recommend you to use custom action. Similar to plugin but you can trigger using js and manipulate the output from the result un your action.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi,

We can throw an exception and display a message.

throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("Message here....");
