Cancelling Dialog Box

I'm launching a dialog box from a page and this dialog box has two buttons. There is one button that uploads a file (i.e. performs an action) and another that will close the dialog box. On the close button I call the returnFromDialog and the calling page has a return event/listener that performs an action upon returning from the dialog box. However, if the user clicks on the "cancel" (red x on the dialog page) on the dialog box and not the close button, the returnFromDialog isn't called and the calling form doesn't execute the return event/listener... I need the return event/listener to run regardless of whether the user closed the dialog box by pressing the coded Close button or by using the default cancel button on the dialog box. Is there anyway to know the user pressed the cancel on the dialog box to return to the calling form?

Hi,
you could set a session flag before calling the dialog and have this flag being reset when the return from dialog listener executes. If the flag is still set then you e.g. can alert this as an error upon the next user action (and then reset the flag)

I have tried to install Lion on a Pro. 80% download without incident, then it raises a cancellation dialog box. When I cancel the cancellation (twice) it aborts the download as if I had cancelled it. Can't get the whole OS to download to this drive (no space issues, 500GB drive with no other files on it) Workarounds?

Canceling Dialog Box after a button is pushed

The problem I have is I open the dialog box and push my button to call another script to run. But if there is an error the error is hid behind the dialog box. I would like to Call the dialog box, push button and then close my dialog box before the script runs. Can that be done.
So far I have tried this and can get it to do what I want.
SubButton4_EventClick(ByRef This) 'Created Event Handler
CallUIAutoRefreshSet(0)
Call dialog.cancel
Callscriptinclude ("D:\_Calterm_Configuration_Files\Technical_Information\DIAdem_Scripts\Insite_DataLog_FileLoader.VBS")
CallUIAutoRefreshSet(1)
End Sub
Solved!

Hi J,
If you're willing to have the SUDialog close to unubstruct the view of a potential error dialog, then why not conditionally call the next script right after the SudDlgShow() command in the script that calls the SUDialog? If the user closes the dialog with the Cancel action, you don't run the script, but if they close with the Ok action, you do-- like this:
Response = SudDlgShow("MyDialog", CurrentScriptPath & "MyDialogFile.SUD")
IF Response = "IDOk" THEN Call ScriptStart("MyScriptPath")

How to handle the button "cancel" in a dialog box for displaying views?

Hello!
I ve a question about handling the cancel button in a dialog box for displaying views.
I ve already implemented the dialog box by using the following code:
METHOD eh_onnewqact.
DATA stitle TYPE string.
IF m_popup IS BOUND.
    stitle = cl_bsp_runtime=>get_otr_text( alias = 'ZCC_ICRM/NEW_TASK' )."cl_wd_utilities=>get_otr_text_by_alias( 'ZCC_ICRM/NEW_TASK' ).
    m_popup = comp_controller->window_manager->create_popup(
      iv_interface_view_name = 'ZCC_POPUP_NEWBT/NewQActWindow'
      iv_usage_name = 'CUNewQAct'
      iv_title = stitle
    CALL METHOD m_popup->set_on_close_event
      EXPORTING
        iv_view       = me
        iv_event_name = 'NEWQACT_POPUP_CLOSED'.
ENDIF.
m_popup->open( ).
ENDMETHOD.
My dialog box consists two buttons - cancel and create.
The cancel buttons should close the popup and the create button should create an entity of a specified object. but let us come to the cancel button. I did´nt find any information about implementing an cancel button. So, how should I implement it? I thougt
me->close( ). But that didnt works!
Could u give me further information about that, because my cancel event-handler is empty?
method EH_ONCANCEL_QACT.
endmethod.
After that I would know how my calling view could know that the user pushes the Create Button and how the data of 2 inputfields of the dialog box finds their way to the calling view in order to process this data there?
Thank you very much!

Hi Michael,
thank you for your advice! This problem is solved...
...but I have another issue. Ive implemented 2 editable fields in my popup. The user should fill that fields with context and that context should be processed in the calling view of my popup.
My question is how to transfer these information from my popup to my calling view or method?
I tried the following...
      lv_context_node ?= m_popup->get_context_node( 'QUICKACT' ).
      IF lv_context_node IS NOT INITIAL.
        lv_text = lv_context_node->get_date( attribute_path = '' ).
      ENDIF.
But it doesnt work! The context node object is always empty/initial.
Thank you!
PS: Another possibility could be that the object / node of the calling view is transferred to the pop-up in order to process it there.

I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option.

# Question
I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one of 2 things occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option. The other is if the proper dialog box appears, I agree and the a different box appears and there is foxfire with a red circle with a diagonal line across is appears.

I find the easiest way to install Adobe Flash is to use the manual installers. You just need to download the installer to your computer, then run it to install Flash. For more details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
That link states you should uninstall earlier versions, as you don't have the version of Flash used by Firefox you can skip that step.

Creating a dialog box with OK and Cancel buttons without OADialogPage

Hi Experts,
i want to create a dialog box for Delete Confirmation means after clicking on delete it should pop up a small dialog box with OK/Cancel buttons
and need code for the same to handle the buttons.
i have created with OADialogPage but its showing in a complete page but i want to show those buttons in a small box.
Plz help.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
Thanks
Raja.

Hi,
I have not tried using javascript in destination URI as suggested by Mukul.
I have tried the below code for opening a page as dialog box.
You can try it for your requirement by creating a dialog page of your own, say XXDialogPage (with OK and Cancel button)
StringBuffer l_buffer = new StringBuffer();
l_buffer.append("javascript:mywin = openWindow(top, '");
String url = "/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?page=/xx/oracle/apps/fnd/dialog/webui/OADialogPG";
OAUrl popupUrl = new OAUrl(url, OAWebBeanConstants.ADD_BREAD_CRUMB_SAVE );
String strUrl = popupUrl.createURL(pageContext);
l_buffer.append(strUrl.toString());
l_buffer.append("', 'lovWindow', {width:500, height:500},false,'dialog',null);");
pageContext.putJavaScriptFunction("SomeName",l_buffer.toString());
In dialog page's controller, you can forward it to the page onc ethe user selects OK or Cancel.
Pass the selected value back to the main page and further you can use it for deleting.
Regards.

How to create a Dialog Box with two buttons (Acept and Cancel)?

Hi i am devoloping an application (an applet) that has to throw a Dialog box, if i click on the Acept button makes some thing and if i click on the Cancel button the it makes other things.
how could i throw this dialog message...?
Thanks.

The following would be the code needed for your dialog box:
     JDialog dialog = new JDialog();
     dialog.setModal(true);
     //the following window listener to the dialog box is optional
     dialog.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter(){
          public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e){
              System.exit(0);
          }//method
     JButton acceptButton = new JButton("Accept");
     JButton cancelButton = new JButton("Cancel");
     acceptButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
          public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
              //do what you need to do
          }//method
     cancelButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
          public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
              //do what you need to do
          }//mehthod
     Container cont = dialog.getContentPane();
     cont.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
     cont.add("West",acceptButton);
     cont.add("East",cancelButton);
     dialog.pack();
     dialog.setVisible(true); I hope this would be useful

Error when user hits Cancel in File Dialog Box

Error 43 occurs when the user hits cancel about saving a file. I have a simple state machine, and when the user hits "RUN", the dialog box comes up. What if they change their mind? I have tried to use the "exception code" in the General Error Handler for Error 43 but I still end up with an error message or my VI stopping.
Are there any templates for VIs that save your data only when you press a "SAVE" button, or either that don't freak out if you hit Cancel?
p.s. I have LabVIEW 6.1.
THANK YOU
Lauren

Hey, I got the same problem, Error 43 when cancel button is clicked, as I was going through one of the examples from "LabView for Everyone" book. I downloaded the Cancelled.vi example and constructed a case structure for it. However, the problem still occurs. When i ran highlight execution for the cancelled.vi example, as the cancel button is pressed the file dialog goes through and sends out boolean value of the cancel status. But for the file I'm working with, the boolean value is not send when cancel button is entered. File dialog sends out an error before the values are send out... Can someone explain? Thanks.

Cancel password-protected dialog box

I accidentally tried to open a pdf in InDesign that was password-protected. I have no idea with the password is and it will NOT let me "cancel" . I cannot open any files until this dialog box is gone. I tried shutting the program down, but it popped right up when it re-opened. Thanks!

RANT - I have never seen InDesign respect an escape key.
In 10 years with ID, I have had plenty of instances to back out of a dialog...I don't think the escape key is honored in any of them.

Illustrator CS5-symbols dialog box opens every time I try to work in Illustrator and won't cancel.

I've never had this problem before, but the symbols dialog box just randomly pops up and I hit cancel and it comes right back. I tried hitting create to see what happens and it just comes right back. I can't close Illustrator I can't do anything else so I end up doing ctrl, alt, delete to end the task. I can't get any work done and I'm pulling my hair out over this. I have looked all over the web for help and found nothing that touches on this problem.

Reinstall the program and trash the prefs.

How to avoid the dialog box "SAVE, Open, Cancel" When we take a pdf print.

I have an item entry form. User select different items and then submit the order by pressing submit button.
I want that when the user click the submit button he is directet to the print preview page. I have done that and it is running fine but the issue is when user click on the submit button the dialog box appear showing file name and an option to save or open the file. I want to avoid that dialog box and I want that the file is opened directly.
In shot I want that the user goes directly to the open file option instead of giving him the options.
Thx,

Hello Syed,
I thought this is a browser behavior. In Firefox it asks the first time what I want to do.
If I select open and select the checkbox to do that always like that, it's opening directly.
I searched a bit in javascript, use an iframe or specify different targets, the behavior is the same, unless I check the checkbox I get the dialog box. Maybe there's a workaround, but I didn't find that yet.
Regards,
Dimitri

How can I add form field value to the file name in save as dialog box

I do not want the form to be saved automatically, just want the form to auto populate the "file name" only.
A little background on the forms I want to use: My company has 70 retail outlets, I'll use one of our pdf forms called an "Incident Report" as an example. I would like for a store manager to be able to complete the form, then email the form to the main office (I already have javascript to add field values and form name to the email subject line), once the main office receives it, I want for them to be able to file the pdf electronically on our server. We have mutliple forms that we use so I do not want any of the forms to automatically save anywhere, (at this time anyway) I just want the office personnel to be able to click "save as" (or whatever they will need to click) and the form automatically add certain field values from the pdf they have received, of which will be different each time the form is sent to the office (Date, store #, employee name etc.) in addition to the name of the form in the "File name" of the "Save As" dialog box. The main office employees will decide into which server file the pdf should be saved.
I'm using Acrobat 8 professional, the stores and office personnel use Adobe reader.
One little note: We currently print and file a lot of paper on a daily bases, as soon as I can get this to work, we are going green.
Me and a lot of trees in this will really apprecitate any help you can give with this! :-)

You might want to take a look at the document "Developing Acrobat Applications Using JavaScript" (js_developer_guide.pdf) which is part of the Adobe Acrobat SDK, which can be downloaded here. Read the "Privileged versus non-privileged context" (p. 45ff.). You will find an example for "Executing privileged methods in a non-privileged context". Should be almost exactly what you are looking for.
Small Outline: For security reasons ("the user always has to know what's going on") you are not allowed to use the "Doc.saveAs"-method without the user permission (--> in a non-privileged context). In order to reach the goal of a privileged context you can use a trusted function. You do this by creating a JavaScript file (*.js) in either the Application-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Javascripts") or the User-JavaScript-Folder (default location on Windows systems: "%AppData%\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\JavaScripts"). Add the following content to the new file:
myTrustedBrowseForDoc = app.trustedFunction( function ( oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = app.browseForDoc( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
myTrustedSaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function ( doc, oArgs ) {
     app.beginPriv();
          var myTrustedRetn = doc.saveAs( oArgs );
     app.endPriv();
     return myTrustedRetn;
The developer guide actually wants you to add this content to the existing "config.js" file. I recommend creating a new file, since its easier to deploy in a network. Either way, every client/user who needs to be able to save documents this way, needs this JavaScript Code in his Application/User-JavaScript-Folder.
Within the Acrobat Document, which you want to obtain a certain file name, you can now use the trusted functions "myTrustedBrowseForDoc" and "myTrustedSaveAs" to store the file. To call the trusted functions and deliver the file name you can either you use a form field (button) or you add a new menu item. Add the following JavaScript Action to the button/menu item and change "Roller Coaster" to the name of the field which contains the value which you want to become the new file name:
var fileName = this.getField("Roller Coaster").valueAsString;
try {
     var oRetn = myTrustedBrowseForDoc({bSave: true, cFilenameInit: fileName + ".pdf"});
     try {
          myTrustedSaveAs(this, { cPath: oRetn.cPath, cFS:oRetn.cFS });
     catch(e) {
          console.println("Save not allowed, perhaps readonly.");
catch(e) {
console.println("User cancelled Save As dialog box");
Good Luck!

Display document data in dialog box

I am using a folder level script to do the following:
Get a specific XMP field value from an open PDF file:
this.info.InDesignFileName
Define a dialog box
Create a menu item that calls the dialog box
But for the life of me, I cannot get the dialog creation function to populate the XMP value into a static text item.
The function below is modified from the example right out of the Acrobat Javascript API Reference.
var inDesignNameDialog = {
initialize: function (dialog) {
// store InDesignFileName XMP
//var indfn = this.info.InDesignFileName
// Create a static text containing the current date.
/*var todayDate = dialog.store()["date"];
todayDate = "Date: " + util.printd("mmmm dd, yyyy", new Date());
dialog.load({ "date": todayDate });
var todayDate = dialog.store()["indfn"];
currFN = "Date: " + this.info.InDesignFileName;
dialog.load({ "indfn": currFN });
commit:function (dialog) { // called when OK pressed
var results = dialog.store();
// Now do something with the data collected, for example,
console.println("Your name is " + results["fnam"]
+ " " + results["lnam"] );

By gosh, you are right. Thanks for the tip.
However, it still does not seem to be working:
The static text field is just empty.

currFN = parentDoc.info.InDesignFileName;
dialog.load({ "idfn": currFN });
commit:function (dialog) { // called when OK pressed
