Adding caption to UI builder generated dialog box

Hi,

I want to add a caption to the dialog box (parameter window) generated using a UI builder.

I am looking for code similar to what I would do in case of legacy reports to add a caption to the dialog box

Dialog dlg = new Dialog("@labelID");

I tried to add a caption in by overriding the new method of UI builder class, passing a dialog box with the caption to the super method, but that did not workout.

Any help is appreciated.

Try setting the .caption() property directly instead of by overriding the new() method.

I would think you should be able to set .caption() in the .preBuild() method of the UI builder class, since it's called immediately after the dialog is initialized.

Not sure I understood, but are you using the SysOperation framework to achieve your goal?

Not sure what is the exact implementation in your case, but, this works for me (just tested it again): in your Controller class, that should extend SysOperationServiceController, override dialogPostBuild method and add this line at the end, after super

this.dialog().caption("New Text");

or in the main() method of the controller, after setting your class and method just call

controller.parmDialogCaption("Change default caption");

this.dialog().caption("Caption") does not work.

Setting it via controller does work.

Inside DAX2012 works next code:

//class MyReport_UIBuilder extends SrsReportDataContractUIBuilder

public void build()
{
...

controller.parmDialogCaption('My caption');

...

}
