Remarks

Features of the dialog box

  • The message is aligned to the left.
  • The text of the buttons changes according to the language used by Windows at runtime (or used by the browser, in the case of a WEBDEV website).
  • 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 in a WINDEV application, question mark in a WEBDEV application) cannot be modified.
  • The title of the dialog box corresponds to the title of the current window (or page).
    AndroidiPhone/iPad To comply with the system specifications, the title of dialog box is empty by default. To define this title, use NextTitle.
  • To modify or define the title of dialog box, use NextTitle.
WINDEV To customize this dialog box (and all the system dialog boxes in your application), check "Customize system windows (Info, YesNo, Confirm, Dialog)" in the "Style" tab of the project description. For more details, see Customizing dialog boxes.
WEBDEV - Server code 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.

Line break in the dialog box

The CR string (Carriage Return) can be used to force a break to the next line. For example:
Confirm("The XXX form was modified." + CR + ...
"Do you want to save it before exiting?")
is equivalent to:
Confirm("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:
Confirm(
[
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.
  • WINDEV Windows events are not stopped when this function is called.
  • WINDEVJava DelayBeforeClosing limits how long the message is displayed. The dialog box is automatically closed. For question or confirmation dialog boxes, the default button corresponds to the expected answer.
  • The text of the buttons is displayed in the system language.
  • WEBDEV - Server code If your project uses pre-launched sessions, this function must not be used in the project initialization event. It must be used in the "Initialize project after connecting to the site" event.
  • iPhone/iPad This function must not be used:
    • in the "Resize" event of the window. Otherwise, the application will be locked.
    • in the "Change the orientation" event of the window.
    • in the "Move to the foreground" event associated with the project.
      Remark: However, the function can be used in the "Move to the foreground" event of a window.
    • in a thread.

Emulation

A confirmation message can be emulated by EmulateConfirm.
Android

Application in the background: Specific case from Android 10

From Android 10, it is no longer possible to open a window when the application is in the background.
Confirm can open a window. If this function is used while the application is in the background, a fatal error will occur.
Tips:
  • It is possible to determine if the application is in the background using InBackgroundMode.
  • If an application needs to interact with the user while it is in the background, the solution is to display a notification (via the Notification type). The application will be brought back to the foreground when the notification is clicked, if the ActivateApplication property is set to True. You can also open a window from the procedure passed to the ActionClick property.
Component: wd290obj.dll
Minimum version required
  • Version 9
