How to: prompt a dialog box or a modal window

In this post I will review the different types of dialog boxes that can be used within the AX system.

There are many scenarios where you want to prompt a message or dialog box to the user. That could be achieved within the box class in the AOT.
Here are some example of the common ones -

1. Information


Box::info(str _text,str _title);
2. Warning


Box::warning(str _text,str _title);
3. Critical stop


Box::stop(str _text,str _title);
4. "Do not tell me again" check box


Box::infoOnce(str _heading,str _information,str owner);
5. OK / Cancel dialog box




DialogButton diagBut;
;
diagBut = Box::yesNo(str _text,DialogButton _defaultButton,str _title);
6. Yes to all dialog box




DialogButton diagBut;
;
diagBut = Box::yesAllNoAllCancel(str _text,DialogButton _defaultButton,str _title);


In the last two examples, the box method will return the name of the selected option button.
Then, you can use the variable diagBut to proceed with your operations:
if (diagBut == dialogbutton::Ok) {
        //do something
    }
