DrNikon224 Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 Is it possible to replace the dialog boxes that pop-up when deleting a record, or searching for records that aren't there, etc...? I would especially like to replace the Delete record dialog. I know i can turn it off using the scripts, but i just want to replace it, and customize it to further dummy-proof my database. There is a dialog box option in scriptmaker, but i can't quite get it figured out....any advice?
LiveOak Posted November 22, 2002 Posted November 22, 2002 There are two options: 1) "Set Error Capture (on)" when included at the beginning of a script surpresses stock error dialogs. In combination, "Status(CurrentError), the "Show Message" script step, and "Status(CurrentMessageChoice) fill in the gap. For instance, the following fragments of a find script demonstrate the use of all three: Allow User Abort (off) Set Error Capture (on) Enter Find Mode (Pause) Perform Find () If( Status(CurrentError) = 401) Show Message("No records were found. Do you want to try again?") choices "YES","No" If (Status(CurrentMessageChoice = 1) Perform Script (this script) Else Go to Layout(original layout) End If 2) Same basic thing, but use a plug-in such as Troi Dialog for more extensive diaglog box options. -bd
LiveOak Posted November 23, 2002 Posted November 23, 2002 To eliminate the dialog boxes, you MUST use a script to perform the operation. For instance, to eliminate the dialog box that comes with the delete record operation, you must create a "Delete Record" script and attach it to a button. The user must use your new "Delete Record" button instead of the pull down menu or Command-E (Cntl-E) to delete a record. There is no other way to eliminate the stock dialogs. -bd
