MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / April 2007Showing a DialogMessage in Browser
Hi all, I have a short question, is it possible to display "something like a messagebox" in the browser environment ? I have search quite a bit but wasn't successfull :( Can anyone give me a hand on it ? I try to display an information box in the browser by using Visual Basic .Net Code. Any help is more then welcome cheers Janko I do not think it is possible, Janko, but someone could correct me months down the road... To display a message box in a browser, you'd have to use script. And since forms are embedded within a control on the page that Forms Server uses, it is difficult to get script into the page for use. Your best bet would be to create an extra view to display messages for your form. --- S.Y.M.

Wong-A-Ton thank you 4 ur answer :) I tried a lot of things but I believe your right - it is not possible to display messageboxes within a Browser InfoPath Form. But I found a way to display messages. I believe it its a good way around. I created a not visible textbox where the button gets pressed which displayes information, e.g. Form saved, Order placed, fields need to be filled out, even so I'm able with this solution to provide each message with a different colour. And I do believe displaying the necessary information in a textbox is more helpful for the customer which uses the form, because more or less all users do not read messageboxes they just click ok. Which is not possible with a text box Thank you for your time Cheers Janko > I do not think it is possible, Janko, but someone could correct me months > down the road...

Like I said, someone might prove me wrong sometime down the road. ;-) It *is* possible to show a message box with a browser form, but you would have to create your own "FormsServer.aspx" web page to display your forms. In addition, I haven't yet found a way to link a forms lib to such a custom web page, so you might also have to create a web part to display links that can call your custom page to display the forms. All-in-all, it is a lot of work to get it done. I might write an article on how to do it, but do not think that it's worth the effort. In the end, I think you found a neat and viable way around it... --- S.Y.M. Wong-A-Ton > Hi S.Y.M. Wong-A-Ton > [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > > > cheers > > > Janko
