It works in 6.1 because the Client is a progress Client.

In 8 and above your 4GL / ABL code is being executed on an Appserver, so MESSAGE just results in entries written out to the appserver log.



Hence until Epicor provide the functionality, one way to achieve this would be to create a customisation of the Customisation Entry form, that listens for your trigger to display a message.

You would create a hidden input box say OUTPUTMSG, then set its value from an onleave.

The customisation would then monitor when this value changed and display the contents, then clear it.

Stephen

Hello,

looking for some help on trying to get the message box to pop up after input is made in a control box.

I have something simple like this on a onleave of a combobox:

message "You have selected correctly" view-as alert-box.

but it doesn't pop up when doing the onleave. Am I missing something?
Are you not allowed to put them in onleave's?

Any help will be appericated.

Thanks,
Andrew

My understanding, from Epicor, is that you cannot do this in Product
Configurator.

The work-around is to create an "error" input textbox that displays any
error messages that are triggered.

Not ideal at all...

Yeah we currently have an editor box that we use to display messages but wanted to see if there was something more "on the fly" to display them. Thanks for the help.

We also tried different methods and the only one that works is displaying a edit box with information.

 We are on Vantage 6.10.541, I'm fairly certain that we can get a 'message' view-as alert-box to work on an 'on-leave'.Â
