Has anyone been able to get msgbox to work in an AjaxZFC client?

msgbox in AjaxZFC client

Hello Goran,

I've used instead a visible/hide textbox set in a very high layer, so it's always displayed over the objects. Using a button with a simple macro to set one variable (say vVisible) to 1 or 0 and set this textbox to show conditionally based on that variable will do the work.

Macro code for button might look like as follows

Sub ShowText set vis = ActiveDocument.Variables("vVisible") val = vis.GetContent.String if val = 0 then ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("IDXX").SetLayer 10 vis.SetContent 1, true else ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("IDXX").SetLayer -10 vis.SetContent 0, true end ifEnd Sub

Although it's not properly a msgbox, it will display any message and it may trigger some otehr actions.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Miguel,

I take your answer as a confirmation that the vb function msgbox does not work for ajax.

The code you submitted works as a workaround, (at least for msgboxes without yes/no-buttons)

but I omitted the SetLayer lines and instead placed the IDXX-object at the "Top" level layer, like this:


Sub ShowText
 set vis = ActiveDocument.Variables("IDXX")
 val = vis.GetContent.String
 if val = 0 then
 vis.SetContent 1, true
 else
 vis.SetContent 0, true
 end if
End Sub
