Features of the dialog box

The title of the dialog box corresponds to the title of the current window (or page).
To modify or define the title of dialog box, use NextTitle.

The message is aligned to the left.
The captions of buttons depend on the runtime language of Windows.
The maximum number of characters cannot exceed 4096. If a larger string is passed as parameter, it will be truncated.
The icon displayed (exclamation mark) cannot be modified.

To customize this dialog box (and all the system dialog boxes in your site), check "Apply the skin to the dialog boxes (YesNo and OKCancel)" in the "Skin" tab of the project description window.

Displaying the dialog box

The dialog box does not lock other processes. The dialog box is displayed in the center of the page, with a DDW effect (Dim Disabled Windows).

YesNo uses the "WebDeVYesNo" internal page. To include this page in your project:

Click in the quick access buttons.
The creation window appears: click "Page" then "Page".
In the "Internal Page" tab, select the internal page named "Yes/No".
Validate. The "WebDeVYesNo" page appears in the editor.
Save the page by keeping its default name.

Line break in the dialog box

The CR string (Carriage Return) can be used to force a break to the next line. For example:

YesNo("The XXX form was modified." + CR + ...
"Do you want to save it before exiting?")

is equivalent to:

YesNo("The XXX form was modified.", ...
"Do you want to save it before exiting?")

You also have the ability to use the syntax of multiline strings. For example:

YesNo(
[
The XXX form has been modified.

Do you want to save changes before closing?
])

Miscellaneous

Timers (TimerSys) are not stopped when this function is called.
The text of the buttons is displayed in the system language.
The first syntax is not available in Active WEBDEV Pages.
If your project uses pre-launched sessions, this function must not be used in the "Initializing" event of the project. This function must be used in the event "Initializing the project after connection to the site".
