SWEAlert Method

SWEAlert displays a modal dialog box containing a message to the user.

Syntax

theApplication().SWEAlert(message)

Returns

Undefined (similar to returning nothing)

Usage

Use SWEAlert instead of Alert. With Alert, popup applets such as Mvg and Pick applets are hidden (sent to the background) when a JavaScript Alert() is raised by a Browser side event. With SWEAlert, the dialog's parent applet is not sent to the foreground.

Used With

Browser Script

Example

The following browser script example displays a status message to the user.

function BusComp_PreSetFieldValue (fieldName, value) {

   if (fieldName == "Account Status") {
      var cVolume = this.GetFieldValue("Current Volume");
      if ((value == "Inactive") && (cVolume > 0)) {
         theApplication().SWEAlert("Unable to inactivate an account that has a
         current volume greater than 0");
         return ("CancelOperation");
      }
      else
         return ("ContinueOperation");
   }
   else
      return ("ContinueOperation");
}
