Stored procedures
Displays a non-blocking message in a standard dialog box with the answers "Yes", "No", "Cancel" and calls a WLanguage procedure with the user's response.
Confirmation example
Remarks:
  • This is a non-blocking dialog box. The WLanguage code that follows the call to ConfirmAsynchronous 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 WINDEV allows you to apply the skin template of your project to this dialog box. For more details, see Customizing dialog boxes.
Example
NextTitle("Modifying the form")
ConfirmAsynchronous(Yes, "Some changes were made in the form." + CR + ...

INTERNAL PROCEDURE ProcessConfirmation(nResponse is int)
SWITCH nResponse
CASE Yes: SaveForm() // Backup process

Features of the dialog box

  • The message is aligned to the left.
  • The text of the buttons changes according to the language used by Windows at runtime (or used by the browser, in the case of a WEBDEV website).
  • The maximum number of characters cannot exceed 4096. If a larger string is passed as parameter, it will be truncated.
  • The icon displayed (exclamation mark in a WINDEV application, question mark in a WEBDEV application) cannot be modified.
  • The title of the dialog box corresponds to the title of the current window (or page).
  • To modify or define the title of dialog box, use NextTitle.
WINDEV To customize this dialog box (and all the system dialog boxes in your application), check "Customize 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:
ConfirmAsynchronous("The XXX form was modified." + CR + ...
"Do you want to save it before closing?", Procedure_ConfirmAsynchronous)
You also have the ability to use the syntax of multiline strings. For example:
ConfirmAsynchronous(
[
The XXX form has been modified.
 
Do you want to save changes before closing?
], Procedure_ConfirmAsynchronous)

Miscellaneous

  • Timers (TimerSys) are not stopped when this function is called.
  • WINDEV Windows events are not stopped when this function is called.
  • WINDEV DelayBeforeClosing limits how long the message is displayed. The dialog box is automatically closed. For question or confirmation dialog boxes, the default button corresponds to the expected answer.
  • The text of the buttons is displayed in the system language.
