Input from User

Sebastian Schweer

Hallo,

is there any chance to receive an input string from from user?

I mean something like the Messagebox.
A Popup shown up, and, for example, the user type in an item code and then the corresponding item will open.
Something like this, that the User get a Pop-Up and can type a string which i can work with.

Something like "Interaction.InputBox(...)" which exists in Visual Basic, but for C#.

Does anybody have a code-example or an idea for this?

Thanks a lot,

Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
you can use the default InputBox from the .Net-Framework, but it's not in the SBO design.
Or you crate a new form an catch the pressing on "OK" an then do your stuff. Take a look at "coresuite framework" for this.

Hallo Manuel,

thanks for answering.

But have you a code-example for the Input Box in C# or the name of the method?

In the C# API i can't find anything. And in the www i only find an InputBox for Visual Basic.

I try to a call to VisualBasic form C#, but that crashed in Coresuit:

 Microst.VisualBasic.Interaction.InputBox(..) 

Best regards,

Sebastian

Hi,

Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.InputBox(..)

you wrote Microst instead of Microsoft

Sebastian Schweer

ups,

sorry ^^

But that i do only in this example, where i just worde it short bevore quitting time.

In Coresuite i realy wrote "Microsoft" ;)
... and that will not work :(

Hi Sebastian,

so I don't know why coresuite crashes.

Here is a generic way how to create an inputbox-like form with C#:



try

{

Form f = Form.CreateNewForm("F", SwissAddonFramework.Utils.UniqueStringGenerator.Next());

TextEdit txt = TextEdit.CreateNew("T1");

txt.Top = txt.Top + 5;

Button btn = Button.CreateNew("B1");

btn.SetPosition(txt);

btn.Top = btn.Top + btn.Height + 5;

btn.Value = "OK";

f.AddItem(txt);

f.AddItem(btn);



f.Load();

f.Update();



SwissAddonFramework.UI.EventHandling.ItemEvents.ItemPressedEventHandler ev = null;

ev = delegate (SwissAddonFramework.UI.EventHandling.ItemEvents.ItemPressed e)

{

StatusBar.WriteSucess(txt.Value);

};



btn.AddHandler_ItemPressed(SwissAddonFramework.UI.Components.ModeComponent.FormModes.ALL, null, ev);

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

StatusBar.WriteError(ex.Message);

}
