Configuration of Dialog BoxesLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

You use this function to configure dialog boxes in a Floor Plan Manager application (FPM application). Dialog boxes are primarily used to inform users of a system action, to ask users to enter missing data, or to ask a user to actively confirm or reject a system action.

Features

You can determine the following by configuring a dialog box:

  • Application-specific views (UIBBs) that you would like to embed in the dialog box

  • The arrangement of application-specific views (UIBBs)

  • The selection of three standard pushbuttons (the pushbuttons themselves as well as their names cannot be changed)

  • Quick info for standard pushbuttons

  • Assignment of a dialog box to a pushbutton

  • The quick help that is to be shown in the dialog box

You can select a dialog box in the configuration editor of Floor Plan Manager by selecting the Dialog Box radio button in the navigation area of the configuration editor (see Configuration Editor for Floor Plan Manager ). If multiple dialog boxes exist for one FPM application, you can select individual dialog boxes by their names.

You have the option of creating new dialog boxes via the Add button or removing dialog boxes from the FPM application via the Delete button.

In the vast majority of cases, the application determines the dialog boxes and the system calls them via the OPEN_DIALOG_BOX method of interface IF_FPM or via an FPM event. The application also has the option in its configuration of assigning a dialog box to a pushbutton so that users can call this dialog box at runtime by choosing that pushbutton (see Assigning a Dialog Box to a Pushbutton ).
