Can an "InvokeButton" method used w/Custom Office External Link Definition Link Type of "Dialog" be made Synchronous?
My script uses the "InvokeButton" method but control is returned immediately before a response has been made. Is there a way to "not return control" until the dialog box has been dismissed?
The NomadsProcess method inherited from SY_CommonUI should do the trick.
NomadsProcess(*)
Calls Nomads process.
Syntax
Object'NomadsProcess(*)
Parameters
*
You can pass PanelName and…
This worked in my Column Post Validate script and in the next statement I was able to GetValue the UDF entered in the dialog box:

The NomadsProcess method inherited from SY_CommonUI should do the trick.
NomadsProcess(*)
Calls Nomads process.
|
Syntax |
Object'NomadsProcess(*) |
|
Parameters |
* You can pass PanelName and Library plus 20 additional arguments to this method. |
|
Returns |
Always Returns 1. |
|
Example |
_OBJ'NomadsProcess("DCOPY", "SY_ROLE.M4L") |
|
Notes |
This method is used when you want to bring up another dialog that is associated with the same business object. This method will save off the current environment and call the Nomads Process method. When returning from the additional dialog it will reset your environment back. |
With the following set up.
You can test the following code.
oSession.AsObject(oSession.UI).MessageBox "", "Before." oUIObj.NomadsProcess "DLG_LINK_001", "IM_Item.M4L" oSession.AsObject(oSession.UI).MessageBox "", "After."
The "before" message occurs first, once you click ok, it launches the dialog panel, once the dialog panel is closed, the "after" message is displayed.
