Alert (Method)

Application object

Displays a simple dialog box on which you can display three buttons with custom names. When users select a button, an integer is returned that corresponds to the button number. For example, if users click button #1, number 1 is returned.

If an Alert is used after the Printout (Method) in an Interactive Reporting document file deployed in the EPM Workspace, the Printout (Method) does not execute.

Syntax:

Expression.Alert(Prompt As String, [Title As String], [Button1Text As String], [Button2Text As String], [Button3Text As String]) As Integer.

Expression Required:

An expression that returns an Application object

Example:

This example shows how to display an Alert dialog and process a user response:

var ReturnVal =0 
ReturnVal = Alert("Please press a button","Alert Title","One","Two","Three")
switch (ReturnVal)
{
     case 1:
     Alert("The user pressed the One button")
     break;
case 2:
     Alert("The user pressed the Two button")
     break;
case 3:
     Alert("The user pressed the Three button")
     break;
default:
     Alert("An error occurred!")
}
