Has anyone found a way to use the documented Standard pop-up dialogs from Natural? It seems to get complicated real quick and involves using Java. Something that should be simple didn’t work out that way. Any hints?
What issues does the documented way of wrapping a PROCESS PAGE in a PROCESS PAGE MODAL give you ?
No Java required.
I have no problems using the documented way of wrapping a PROCESS PAGE in a PROCESS PAGE MODAL. I was referring to the topic “Standard Pop-up Dialogs” described in the Software AG Designer Guide, see path below. I wanted to use these dialog boxes that are listed as “general usage which you do not have to code yourself.” Is there some way to use these dialog boxes without using Java?

Standard Pop-up Dialogs
There are standard pop-up dialogs available for general usage which you do not have to code yourself.
This document covers the following topics:
OK Pop-up
Yes/No Pop-up
Log Pop-up
Example: Asking Whether the User Really Wants to Quit
Hi Rick,
The doc your are referencing is meant for the Java support.

For NJX applications - Natural binding - the Standard Pop-up Dialogs are important when writing workplace applications. The workplace framework itself uses these Standard Pop-up Dialogs. For customer specific workplace applications it is important to customize these Standard Pop-up Dialogs so that it matches the look and feel of the specific application. This is supported and described in the documentation:
http://techcommunity.softwareag.com/ecosystem/documentation/natural/njx835/njx/multi-createown.htm#multi-createown-popup
These dialogs are not made for using them directly from within non-workplace NJX applications because they are implemented with Java Adapters. Using a Yes/No dialog only makes sense if the application also has a chance to receive the answer. The answer is given in the Java Adapter. However it is possible to integrate these Java Standard Pop-Up Dialogs via Adapter listeners. But as mentioned, it’s not their intended purpose.
When looking at these dialogs they are really very simple. It’s not much effort to write such a dialog as NATPAGE layout with Natural binding. Many customers also want to have their own variation of a yes/no dialog, with own messages, own style, own…
But of course it would be a valid enhancement request to support Standard Dialog Pop-Ups for non-workplace NJX applications.
What do you think?
Best Regards,
