Ext.MessageBox

[dbassett74]

I know this won't be out until v0.8, but I had a question regarding this. Will it provide some sort of "modal" functionality? For example, it is quite common that you need to allow the user to hit the OK button before it continues on processing something. For example (pseudocode):


Select Case MessageBox.Result
Case OK: AjaxMethod1
Case Cancel: AjaxMethod2
End Select

Will this be available with this control? Until then, how can I accomplish something like this with the Ext.Msg class?

Hi dbassett74,

I just happened to be adding some new functionality to the Ext.MessageBox class and it's related to your question.

If using v0.8, the following sample demonstrates how you could accomplish conditional logic with the new ButtonsConfig object.

Example

Ext.Msg.Confirm("Message", "Confirm?", new MessageBox.ButtonsConfig
{
    Yes = new MessageBox.ButtonConfig
    {
        Handler = "CompanyX.DoYes()",
        Text = "Yes Please"
    },
    No = new MessageBox.ButtonConfig
    {
        Handler = "CompanyX.DoNo()",
        Text = "No Thanks"
    }
}).Show();

I added a new sample demonstrating this sample to the Examples Explorer which is available at the following location if you have SVN access, see /Examples/MessageBox/Basic/ButtonsConfig/

I'll post a follow-up demonstrating similar functionality with v0.7.

Here's basically the same functionality using hand rolled JavaScript which would be required if using v0.7.

Example

string script = "Ext.Msg.confirm('Message', 'Confirm?', function (buttonId) { if(buttonId == 'yes') { Coolite.AjaxMethods.DoYes(); } else { Coolite.AjaxMethods.DoNo(); } } );";

Hope this helps.

Works great. Is there a way to set the Icon to one of the other messagebox icons?
