InputDialog: have we a component like this?

Hi forum.
To have an interactive operability during the job I seed the "tMsgBox" that it can to be useful for to display messages or choices.
Is there another component similar to Java JOptionPane.showInputDialog where the user can write free text?
Or is there some component like a drop down box to choice some fixed values?
Regards
Alessandro

Ex: java -jar .jar etc.
where the parameter are context variables
If this is possible I can create an external GUI and then execute my Talend job :cool:

I don't see Talend job can be executed as a jar so far. You can execute the job script (the batch file) from the command prompt and pass context parameters. see

define a context
edit the context, and for each variable you can define their input prompt.
that will work at the beginning of the job only
if you need something midway - you will have to use the one you mentioned

Hi Nicolas
Thanks for your notice.
I create a simply context with one variable.
Then I select this context in my job.
Now how can I to prompt the input for the variable of my context when I run the job?
If I use the tContextLoad component I have a warning message because It can not be the first of the job and no prompt appears.

Hi forum.
The suggestion works fine, when I run my application during the develop I can to display one or more variables in the same form (see image).
But if I distribute my job like a java package this form isn't displayed during the execution. Why?
