Boxes

Boxes display brief messages to application users. There are many box types and
each has their own box method.
Methods in the box class take the following parameters:• The main text• The title bar text• Help text
The following is an example of an information box and how the parameters are
used:Box::info("Main Text", "Title", "This is the help text");
The following figure shows the resulting window.



The string "This is the help text" appears in the status bar at the bottom of the
screen.
The box class contains many methods that create different types of boxes. These
methods can be viewed in the AOT under Classes > Box. Many boxes only
provide output to the user, whereas other boxes accept input from the user,
depending on which button the user clicks.
Some of the more commonly used boxes are discussed in this lesson.
The warning box is used to display warning messages. The following example
shows how the warning message is used:Box::warning("This is a warning message.", "Title text",
"Help text");The resulting box is shown on the display.

The following example shows a YesNo box:Box::yesNo("Choose Yes or No", DialogButton::Yes, "Yes No
Box Example", "Answer Yes or No");
The resulting box is shown on the display .



Notice the additional required parameter DialogButton::Yes. This parameter
specifies a default button. Notice on the YesNo box that the Yes button is
selected as the default.
The following is an example of how X++ accepts user input and executes
statements based on this input:DialogButton dialogButton;
dialogButton= Box::yesNo("Choose Yes or No",
DialogButton::Yes, "Yes No Box Example");
if (dialogButton == DialogButton::Yes)
{
print "You chose Yes";
pause;
}
else if (dialogButton == DialogButton::No)
{
print "You chose No";
pause;
}The box function returns a value of the enum DialogButton that can be used to
determine which option the user chooses.
