Modal window

[LVA]

I would like to open a new window so that the user can insert data in a small window that opens in front of the main window. The user should insert data and click on a continue button and the window closes and the user will go back to the main window and continue what he was doing.

This new window should be Modal. That is a window that opens and the user won

It there a reason why you can't use the custom dialog box? There are plug-ins that provide additional capability to dialog boxes. Troi at http://www.troi.com and 24U (Click on ad at bottom of the page) are 2 that I know of.

Thanks Ralph.

I need a new window to insert data in two fields. The custom dialog box won

I have used the custom dialog box to insert data into 2 different fields. In fact you can insert up to 3 fields. This is the only way I know how to do this.

Could you please explain how you did that because I have no clue how it can be done.

Thanks, LVA

Oops ...

Sorry, I managed to do it...

Is there a way to put a value list on one of the input fields using the custom dialog box ?

Thanks,LVA

Glad that you figured it out. If you mean a popup, I don't think it can be done with custom dialog box. Maybe, it can be done with one of the plug-ins.

Thanks.

The way I've done it in the past (using a pop-up window to select say, an individual from a company) is to run the script that opens the pop-up window, pauses waiting for user input, and when the user hits enter, the script continues, selects the data, closes the window and they're on their way.

The user can't close the window because the script is in pause mode. So long as you don't allow the user to abort scripts, you should be fine.
