Show Message from Insert Account Screen

[chartung]

I need to pop up a dialog from a button on the Insert Account and Insert Contact/Account screen.

When I try to use dialog.ShowMessage, I'm unable to use Carriage returns to format my lengthy list of items that I need to display.

I'm unable to make an Account smart part work from a button as well, it just does nothing when I click.

I need to display a list of Codes and Descriptions, it's about 40 items longs.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

You can use Ext.Dialog to show the message and within the contents of the dialog use Html to format your list. Just register a startup script doing the work.

Hi Mark,

could you post a small sample how to do this and use the ext.dialog thing?

Thanks!  Alexander

Hey Mark,

I'd greatly appreciate an example of that too.

Thanks,

I'll try to whip something up when I get some free time.

Hi All,

1. Copy the save business rule code from the InsertAccount.ascx file first and then place it in c# code snippet in the same event.  

After that

2. Write the appropriate Condition for which field you want to  make madatory or display a message box.

Write the below code

ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock((Page)HttpContext.Current.Handler, HttpContext.Current.Handler.GetType(), "MyScript5", "alert( 'Phone is Mandatory)", true);

Note: In the above part of code you can replace a string builder object (with alert(''Phone is Mandatory')) which contains a java script function

Thanks,

Jack

As said in previous post the power is in the RegisterClientScriptBlock Call to show your dialog.

You can also throw a Sage.Platform.Application.ValidationException(string) with your html encoded string as well. I have done this in a project and using the included class created a somewhat consistent way of doing multi error reporting. Its crude but works well.

so do something like

FormatterErrors errors = ValidateAllRequiredFormValues();

string result = errors.Errors();

if (string.isNullOrEmpty(result)) throw new Sage.Platform.Application.ValidationException(result);

inside of your validation code add the required checks

public FormatterErrors ValidateAllRequiredFormValues() {

   FormatterErrors errors =new FormatterErrors();

   if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(a.AccountName) errors.AddFormatted("{{Account Name}} is a required Field.");

   return errors;

}

Kindest,

Mark
