Product Configurator Popup Message

Yahoo Archive

Doh, figured it out....FieldHeight won't work on a dropdown because those are frozen at 21.  However you can change the height of a character field (single value) or browser field with it.

Looks like FieldLabel('Field',"NewLabel") works as well.

I am working on some code within the Product configurator and would like to have a popup message trigger.
Currently I am trying to use a MESSAGE statement but cannot get it to work.

Does anyone know how I can get a popup message to appear?

Thanks

I am on 9.04.507A and I was hoping to code it as part of an Input's OnLeave statement.

There is no pop-up in ABL that I found.  I had a text box that I made visible/invisible with any message I wanted shown.  E10 is way cooler with its abilities to pop-up messages and forms.

In E10 very easy.

In E9, no standard way. There is an unsupported way, I would need to dig around to find it as I typically don't use it. 

Typically I put a text box on the screen where I put any messages I want the user to see.  To prevent the user from leaving the screen until they fix everything I add another textbox that is required with the prompt when false so the user can't update it.  Then using on-leave code I either populate or clear the required textbox depending whether all requirements have been met.  The text box where I put messages explains why they can't leave.

I downloaded an ABL OpenEdge Development Handbook for 10.1C but I find that not everything in there works within Epicor. I like the idea of making a text box visible however.

I was hoping to use the popup as a means to debug my code as it is not behaving well.

Thanks. Did not work. 
Syntax error 247.

** Unable to understand after -- "publish".(247)

Here's some E10 configurator code. It's in the OnPageLeave expression.

// check for pull type hitch and gauge wheels entered
bool bad = false;

if (Inputs.GaugeWheelType.Value.Contains("Wheels Included") == true && Inputs.PullTypeHitch.Value == "Pull Type Hitch Included") { bad = true;}

// Zero Quantity Entered
if (bad == true)
{
MessageBox.Show("Verify Pull Type Hitch and Gauge Wheels needed.");
}

Is there a way to insert a carriage return or a new line command into a Editor box?
12

Here is an example:

 

Message10 = (If (humcmbLocation = "") Then ((Message10 + "ERROR - TOOLING LOCATION IS A REQUIRED FIELD"  + CHR(13) + CHR(10))) Else (Message10)).

 

CHR(13) + CHR(10) = CRLF

 

A few other fun things for moving your field position:

 

FieldXPosition('field', 90).

FieldYPosition('field', 260).

FieldInvisible('field', TRUE).

I figured it out.

I was using an editor box and needed to add it current contents back to itself along with the new line command.

txt_Box = txt_Box + "This is a new Line." + "~n".

Thanks for this Brenda.
Does this work in E9 and E10?
15

These are E9 examples, but I have E10 examples if you need them.  We started in E9, so I have both.

Cool, found that this works too: 

FieldWidth('Field',150).

Haven't been able to get "FieldHeight" to work, but the configurator doesn't flag it as invalid syntax.  Not sure how/if that works.
