How add a confirmation box in a jscript

[peigee]

Tried window.confirm() in my jscript but EA wouldn't recognise it. Tried Session.prompt("xxx",2) however, it does not seem to return any value regardless Yes or No selected.

How can I add a confirmation box for user to confirm to proceed in Jscript (or should I change to VB)?

Thanks for your help in advance.

peigee,

You need the JScript equivalents of:

      dim oWindowsScriptingHost, iUserResponse
      Set oWindowsScriptingHost = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
      
      iUserResponse = oWindowsScriptingHost.popup("<popup Text", ,"<Title>", 32+promptYESNOCANCEL+512)      ' Y/N Cancel, default=Cancel

You need to use the Windows Scripting Host....

HTH,

There's an library function in the EAScriptLib MDG technology that does that for you.

PS. Paolo, in VBScript I find it a lot easier to use msgbox like this:

Code: [Select]

dim response
response = Msgbox ("Text", vbOKCancel+vbQuestion, "Title")
if response = vbOK then

Cool!

Continuous refactoring under way!

Thanks Geert,

Thank you Geert.
Based on a sample script in EAScriptLib, I have created the following function to produce the confirm box I have wanted:

/**
 * Displays a 'Confirm' dialog and returns the OK/Cancel button value that the user had selected.
 *
 * @param[in] promptText (String) The text prompt that will be displayed on the confirm dialog.
 * @param[in] title (String) The text that will appear in the confirm dialog's title.
 *
 * @return A Response value representing the choice the user pressed between OK or Cancel buttons
 */
function DLG_Confirm( promptText /* : String */, title /* : String */ ) /* : Number */
{
      // JScript has no intrinsic MsgBox method, therefore we have to steal from VBs
      var vbe = new ActiveXObject("ScriptControl");
      vbe.Language = "VBScript";
      
      return vbe.eval( "MsgBox(\"" + promptText + "\",vbOKCancel+vbQuestion,\"" + title + "\")");
}

Using following call may be better:

return vbe.eval( "MsgBox(\"" + promptText + "\",[highlight]vbYesNo[/highlight],\"" + title + "\")");

However, please keep in mind the returned value for yes button would be 6 (not sure what is the matching constant variable in Jscript, certainly not promptOK).
