msgbox

[win]

I'm using ASP.Net 2.0

MsgBox("Are you sure to delete?", MsgBoxStyle.Que stion +
MsgBoxStyle.OkC ancel, Page.Title.ToSt ring)

The message box sometimes does not pop up on the top of the screen.
Can I set the message box always on top of the screen?

Thank you

RE: msgbox

Hi Win,

From your description, you're using MsgBox api in ASP.NET web application
to display some dialog box and want to control position of the dialog,
correct?

As for the "MsgBox" api, would you tell me which control or component are
you using? So far based on my understanding, ASP.NET doesn't provide
built-in support on displaying messagebox since the messagebox is displayed
at client-side browser (generally use javascript to display it). I'm
wondering are you using System.Windows. Forms namespace's class to show to
message box? If this is the case, I'm afraid winform API is not supported
to be used in ASP.NET web application since ASP.NET appliation is
server-side application which is mostly running in a non-interactive
process and the messagebox showed via winform api can not be seen by client
user. The reason you may see it when you use Visual Studio's webtest
server on local machine is because the web test server itself is a winform
application(you can close the browser when the msgbox displayed to verify
this, it is displayed by the webtest server process).

In addition, in ASP.NET we normally use client script to display message
box( alert javascript method). Here are some web articles introducing this:

Re: msgbox

Hi Steven

I've created a gridview and it has a delete button on each row.
"<asp:CommandFi eld ShowDeleteButto n="True" />".
I want to pop up a messagebox to ask the user Yes/No to ensure to delete the
data instead of directly deleted the record.
Can you help me?

Thanks a lot

Win

I've created a gridview and it has a delete button on each row.
"<asp:CommandFi eld ShowDeleteButto n="True" />".
I want to pop up a messagebox to ask the user Yes/No to ensure to delete
the data instead of directly deleted the record.
Can you help me?

As Steven has already explained, server-side code runs on the server and
client-side code runs on the client.

MsgBox is a function found in VB Classic and VBScript.

Although you can still use VBScript as a client-side language in ASP.NET,
this is not recommended because it will work only in IE.

Therefore, to achieve the functionality you require, you need to use
client-side JavaScript.

The JavaScript equivalents of MsgBox is alert();, confirm(); and prompt();

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&rlz=1T4GZEZ_en-GBGB252GB252&q=JavaScript+alert+confirm&meta=

E.g. to ask the user to confirm that they want to do something, you might
use the following:

<asp:Button ID="MyButton" runat="server" Text="Delete"
OnClick="MyButt on_Click" OnClientClick=" return confirm('Are you sure?');" />

Re: msgbox

Thanks for Mark's input.

Hi Win,

I think Mark has provided some good reference about popup javascript dialog
in web page which can help you display the "confirm deleting" dialog for
gridview. If you have any further specific questions, welcome to post here.
