I am currently working on a MFC GUI application, which does data manipulation based on user input. Now I would want to add a special feature so that only authorize user can able to write the data.
so as soon as a user click on Write button (void CMFC::OnWrite()), I wanted to open a new dialog box, which should ask for a password. the problem is I created a new Dialog box and on this even I called it with :
CPassWdDlg PassDlg;
if( PassDlg.DoModal() == IDOK )
{
AfxMessageBox("File Read Successfully");
}
else
return;
But, it just display the dialog box, and stuck there. In DoModel() call, I couldnt understand the reason of it.
Please let me know how to get away with it.
I think I found the reason, in the property page, I had disabled the dialog box, which is making it to not respond.

I'm using the Bot Framework .Net SDK4.
I start my Dialog at MainDialog.
I'm trying to restart my dialog when the watterfall dialog conversation ends. I have multiple watterfall that redirect to other watterfall dialogs, unti they reach the final one.
When I'm using stepContext.EndDialogAsync(null, cancellationToken) or stepContext.CancellAllDialogsAsync(cancellationToken), the dialog just returns to the previous parent dialog.
I also can't just use BeginDialogAsync(nameof(MainDialog), null, cancellationToke) because of circular dependency issues.
Is there anything I can do to restart my dialog at MainDialog, where it reruns tehe dialog again.
use
return await sc.ReplaceDialogAsync(nameof(NoUnderstandDialog), cancellationToken);
To restart the waterfall dialog you are currently in.
ReplaceDialogAsync :
Starts a new dialog and replaces on the stack the currently active dialog with
the new one. This is particularly useful for creating loops or redirecting to
another dialog.
You can use this for multiple reasons, validation for example if the user inputs a wrong value, you can restart the dialog to prompt again. Be careful though your waterfall dialog should always "ends" meaning it should have a EndDialogAsync so you don't get stuck in an endless loop
I'm using Notes/Domino 8.5.3. I've added a button control to an xpage. The button uses a Confirm Action to display a client-side prompt to the user before continuing with the next action defined for the button. When I use static text for the Confirmation Text for the Confirm Action, the confirmation prompt is displayed. However, when I change the Confirmation Text to be computed, and retrieve the text from a profile document, the confirmation prompt it not displayed at all in XPiNC. The confirmation prompt with the computed confirmation text is displayed just fine in a browser. Is there a work-around for this issue with XPiNC?
Following is the code I'm using in the Confirm Action to get the text for the prompt:
var server = database.getServer();
var dbProfile:NotesDocument = database.getProfileDocument("DBProfile", "");
var msg = dbProfile.getItemValueString("ContactsInitUpdatePrompt");
return msg;
To further my comments, this is a work around I use the below code for an app that uses the bootstrap extension library on the web but uses basic functionality with xpinc.
If the values for xPinc are different you could make the confirm action different in the browser and in the client.
if (#ClientType()== "Notes")
{
<action>;
}
else{
<action>;
}
I think that profile documents are a bad idea in xPages though. Having to restart HTTP to get a new value ruins the point I think. Almost better to hard code values at that point. I think you can set application scope to handle the work of profile documents. But then application scope in xpinc is just on the current machine as the server is the client.
I have a problem that have me stumped.
I have been searching for a solution, but haven't found a working one yet. The solutions I seen introduces other issues.
Here is the scenario:
I have a frameset with two frames: 'Navigator' and 'Main'.
In the 'Navigator' frame I display a form called 'Navigator'. It contains an outline, to display a menu.
In the 'Main' frame I display the view selected by the user in the navigator.
So this is a very traditional Notes client application.
I now want to add a checkbox at the top of the view (in the action bar), allowing the user to filter the view by his/her own name. I use #SetViewInfo for this, and it all works perfect.
The issue is when the user switch views. The #SetViewInfo filter stays active when switching to a different view, so after some searching I found some solutions:
In http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21204481 IBM suggests to put the following code in the QuerySave event:
#SetViewInfo([SetViewFilter]; temp ; 0 ;1)
When I am switching view or closing the view, I get the error message "Cannot execute the specified command".
In http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/bpmpblog.nsf/dx/using-setviewinfo-in-a-notes-client-application-to-create-a-user-specific-view Andre Guirard suggests to put the following code in the QuerySave event:
#SetTargetFrame("frameName");
#UpdateFormulaContext;
#Command([OpenView]; #Subset(#ViewTitle; -1));
#SetViewInfo([SetViewFilter]; ""; "columnName"; 1)
I modify this to match my frame name and the programatic name of the first column in my view:
#SetTargetFrame("Main");
#UpdateFormulaContext;
#Command([OpenView]; #Subset(#ViewTitle; -1));
#SetViewInfo([SetViewFilter]; ""; "Adjuster"; 1)
This works perfectly when switching between view. But when I close the application while I am in this particular filtered view, the application is re-opened automatically. This happens no matter if the filter is enabled or not when closing the view.
However, when the view repopens, the frameset is not reloaded, it is just the view with the built-in view navigator to the left.
I finally got this to work by (in the built-in view navigator) selecting another view that the one where I filter data. This fixed the issue for a while, but then it starts again, and the filtered view is active in the navigator.
Obviously it is the OpenView command that is causing this, but if I remove just that line, I get the "Cannot execute the specified command" error again.
Any suggestions/pointers? I am using Notes 8.5.3 running on Windows 7 Professional.
This question can also be found in the IBM developerWorks forum for Notes 8.5:
http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd85forum.nsf/DateAllThreadedWeb/08c73910571306c485257b2b0061ef91
First thing, I would suggest to make sure your view frame is always called "NotesView". You will have much less compatibility issues if you do this.
Secondly, I presume when you say you put it in the QuerySave event you really mean the QueryClose event? Views do not have a QuerySave event.
Thirdly, I find the #UpdateFormulaContext line is not needed. This is what I have in my view QueryClose...
#SetTargetFrame("NotesView");
#Command([OpenView]; #Subset(#ViewTitle; -1));
#SetViewInfo([SetViewFilter]; ""; "<programmaticColumnName>"; 1)
And I can close the app while in the view without any problems.
I just want to get access to an object in the modal dialog. The following example will explain exactly what I'm trying to do:
(This code is not working)
CAddDlg dlg;
CString S;
dlg.DoModal();
dlg.GetDlgItem(IDC_NAME)->GetWindowTextW(S);
MessageBox(S);
But an assert will fail and I can't get the text of the Edit control.
What should I do?
You can't access the controls of modal dialogs from outside. Even if you could, it's not a good idea. The caller of the dialog should not know how the data is represented in the dialog. What is now an edit control could be a listbox in the future.
The way to go is declare getter functions which you call after DoModal() (if it returned IDOK) and get the values there.
Check Can I return a custom value from a dialog box's DoModal function? for some examples
I've googled it, but came out empty. And the worst thing is that I know it is possible.
Anyway, I'm developing an application that uses the WebBrowser control to display information regarding an object (like Outlook does with the Rules and Alerts dialog box).
My question is how do I do for the click on a, say, hyperlink in the WebBrowser execute some function within the Windows Form?
For instance, say I have a link like this and when I click it I want the application to display an specific form, like the Outlook does when you click on hyperlinks like People and Distribution List
This looks useful: How to: Implement Two-Way Communication Between DHTML Code and Client Application Code
ChrisW's answer will work, but there's another way if you're just relying on hyperlinks.
In Comicster, I have links in my WebBrowser control like this:
New Collection
And then in the WebBrowser's Navigating event, I have some code to check if the user has tried to navigate to an "action:" link, and intercept it:
private void webBrowser1_Navigating(object sender,
WebBrowserNavigatingEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Url.Scheme == "action")
{
e.Cancel = true;
string actionName = e.Url.LocalPath;
// do stuff when actionName == "FileNew" etc
}
}
With a little bit of code you can even parse the URL parameters and "pass them through" to your host application's action, so I can do things like:
Edit this issue
... which will open a properties dialog for the issue with ID 1.
