OKCancelAsynchronous (Function)

In french: OKAnnulerAsynchrone

Displays a message in a standard non-blocking dialog box with the answers "OK" and "Cancel" and calls a WLanguage procedure with the user's response.

Remarks:

This is a non-blocking dialog box. The WLanguage code that follows the call to OKCancelAsynchronous continues to run. To close the window, the user must validate one of the buttons. When the user clicks one of the buttons, the code of a WLanguage procedure is run.
In the WLanguage code following the call to the function, another modal window cannot be opened before closing the dialog box.

Example

// Choice used to exit the program
OKCancelAsynchronous(No, "Do you want to exit the program?", MyProcedure_OKCancel)

INTERNAL PROCEDURE MyProcedure_OKCancel(nResponse int)
SWITCH nResponse
CASE Yes:
ToastDisplay("OK button")
Close()
CASE No: ToastDisplay("Cancel button")
END
END
