Hi Guys,

Does anyone know how to make a very simple dialog box where the user can input a number and click OK?

I'm looking for something like the STRMENU function but where the user can input a number into a field - the value should then be brought back to the process which envoked it. Maybe it is possible to make a page which does not sit on top of a source table?

Thanks :)

    Create a page of type "ConfirmationDialog". Then create a variable to handle your input and place that as a field on the page.

    Create a public function on the page that returns the variable used in your input field.

    Something like this can then be done from C/AL:
    Page: 
    OBJECT Page 50000 ConfirmDialog
{
  OBJECT-PROPERTIES
  {
    Date=24-11-15;
    Time=09:29:52;
    Modified=Yes;
    Version List=;
  }
  PROPERTIES
  {
    PageType=ConfirmationDialog;
  }
  CONTROLS
  {
    { 1160040000;;Container;
                Name=Testing input;
                ContainerType=ContentArea }

    { 1160040001;1;Field  ;
                CaptionML=ENU=Enter a number between 1 and 100;
                SourceExpr=NumberToEnter }

  }
  CODE
  {
    VAR
      NumberToEnter@1160040000 : Integer;

    PROCEDURE ReturnEnteredNumber@1160040000() : Integer;
    BEGIN
      EXIT(NumberToEnter);
    END;

    BEGIN
    END.
  }
}

    Codeunit 
    OBJECT Codeunit 50000 Test Dialog
{
  OBJECT-PROPERTIES
  {
    Date=24-11-15;
    Time=09:34:10;
    Modified=Yes;
    Version List=;
  }
  PROPERTIES
  {
    OnRun=BEGIN
            ConfirmDialog.LOOKUPMODE(TRUE);
            IF ConfirmDialog.RUNMODAL = ACTION::Yes THEN
              MESSAGE(FORMAT(ConfirmDialog.ReturnEnteredNumber));
          END;

  }
  CODE
  {
    VAR
      ConfirmDialog@1160040000 : Page 50000;

    BEGIN
    END.
  }
}

    Won't work in RTC. Input is deprecated.

    Hi Guys - the answer is to use a dotnet variable as described here:

    Sry. In my book that is certainly not the answer. You may find that to be the best choice in your particular scenario but a better way (IMO ofc) is absolutely to use either a confirmationdialog type page or even better probably a pagetype::StandardDialog. StandardDialog page will give you and OK/CANCEL button and from a page you can do database interaction and all the regular stuff that NAV lets you do. You can't do that using a dotnet variable.
