YesNoAsynchronous (Function)

In french: OuiNonAsynchrone

Displays a message in a standard non-blocking dialog box with the answers "Yes" and "No" and calls a WLanguage procedure with the user's response.

Remarks:

This is a non-blocking dialog box. The WLanguage code that follows the call to YesNoAsynchronous continues to run. To close the window, the user must validate one of the buttons. When the user clicks one of the buttons, the code of a WLanguage procedure is run.
In the WLanguage code following the call to the function, another modal window cannot be opened before closing the dialog box.
WINDEV allows you to apply the skin template of your project to this dialog box. For more details, see Customizing dialog boxes.

Example

YesNoAsynchronous("Do you want to close this window?", MyProcedure_OKCancel)

INTERNAL PROCEDURE MyProcedure_OKCancel(nResponse int)
IF nResponse = Yes THEN
ToastDisplay("You want to close the window!")
ELSE
ToastDisplay("You don't want to close the window!")
END
END

Syntax

YesNo([<Selected button>, ] <Text> , <WLanguage procedure>)

<Selected button>: Optional integer constant

Button selected by default in the dialog box:
No 0 selected by default
Yes
(Default value) 1 selected by default

<Text>: Character string

Text to display.

<WLanguage procedure>: Name of procedure or lambda procedure

Name of the WLangage procedure ("callback" procedure) called when the user clicks one of the buttons in the confirmation window.
This procedure is used to find out which button was clicked, and to run a specific process if necessary.
For more details on this procedure, see Parameters of the procedure used by YesNoAsynchronous.
This WLanguage procedure can correspond to:
a name of a global or local procedure,
a name of internal procedure,
a lambda procedure.

Remarks

Characteristics of dialog box

The title of the dialog box corresponds to the title of the current window (or page).
To comply with the system specifications, the title of dialog box is empty by default. To define this title, use NextTitle.
To modify or define the title of dialog box, use NextTitle.

The message is aligned to left.
The captions of buttons depend on the runtime language of Windows.
The maximum number of characters cannot exceed 4096. If a larger string is passed in parameter, it will be truncated.
The icon displayed (exclamation mark) cannot be modified.

To customize this dialog box (and all the system dialog boxes in your application), check "Customize the system windows (Info, YesNo, Confirm, Dialog)" in the "Style" tab of the project description. For more details, see Customizing dialog boxes.

Line break in the dialog box

The CR string (Carriage Return) can be used to force a break to the next line. For example:

YesNoAsynchronous("The XXX form was modified." + CR + ...
"Do you want to save it before exiting?")

You also have the ability to use the syntax of multiline strings. For example:

YesNoAsynchronous(
[
The XXX form has been modified.

DO you want TO save changes before closing?
], Procedure_OKCancelAsynchronous)

Miscellaneous

Timers (TimerSys) are not stopped when this function is called.
Windows events are not stopped when this function is called.
The text of the buttons is displayed in the system language.
This function must not be used:
- in the event "Resizing" of the window. Otherwise, the application will be locked.
- in the event "Changing the orientation" of the window.
- in the event "Move to the foreground" associated with the project.
  Remark: However, the function can be used in the event "Move to the foreground" of a window.
- in a thread.
The position of the buttons varies according to the Android version. From Android 4.1, the system sets the validation button on the right. DialogAsynchronous is used to define the position of the buttons, if necessary.

Versions 25 and later

Application in the background: Specific case from Android 10

From Android 10, it is no longer possible to open a window when the application is in the background.

YesNoAsynchronous can open a window. If this function is used while the application is in the background, a fatal error will occur.

Tips:

It is possible to determine if the application is in the background using InBackgroundMode.
If an application needs to interact with the user while it is in the background, the solution is to display a notification (via the Notification type). The application will be brought back to the foreground when the notification is clicked, if the ActivateApplication property is set to True. You can also open a window from the procedure passed to the ActionClick property.

See Android 10: Behavior of applications in the background for more details.
