How to use setComponentNested(...) and Prompt component

dmackinnon2004

Hello All,

I have a custom component in Webtop 6.7sp1 which is not modal...however if the user enters an invalid value in the form I would like to display a popup prompt dialog telling them they must enter a valid value.  Since my custom component is not modal, it seems everytime I call the "prompt" component using setComponentNested it is displayed in the browser directly, not as a popup. Is there anyways to use setComponentNested(...) and force it to open in a popup modal?

It sounds like I could extend the prompt component and setModal(true) onInit(...), or use the action service and create a custom action with the <invocation> parameters...however I'd prefer to do this without creating custom components/actions if not necessary.

ArgumentList promptArgs = new ArgumentList();promptArgs.add(Prompt.ARG_TITLE, "Matter Search Error");
promptArgs.add(Prompt.ARG_MESSAGE, "Non Litigated Matters must be filed by claim #");
promptArgs.add(Prompt.ARG_BUTTON, new String[] { Prompt.OK });
setComponentNested("prompt", promptArgs, new Context(), null);

Thanks,

Doug

Seems as you will have to come up with the custom action

try this:

 <action id="launch_propmt">             <params>            </params>            <execution class="com.documentum.web.formext.action.LaunchComponent">                <arguments>                <DEFINE_ARGS_AS_YOU_NEED/>                </arguments>                <component>your_prompt_component</component>                <nlsbundle>com.your.nlsbundlepackage.YourNlsBundleProp</nlsbundle>            </execution>                       <invocation>                <modalpopup>                    <windowsize>medium</windowsize>                    <refreshparentwindow>onok</refreshparentwindow>                </modalpopup>            </invocation>        </action>   

Then launch this "launch_propmt" action using the Action service from your component

But on another hand, what's wrong with using the MessageService.addMessage ? Just curious...

Or the good old javascript alert()?..

Or <dmf:requiredfieldvalidator>...
