To display an alert to the user in Infor CRM, there are some built-in options that look nicer than the standard Javascript/browser “alert” dialog. Let’s take a look how to use them.
Displaying Alerts to the User
A few other message types you can use are for displaying different message type alerts to the user.
Sage.UI.Dialogs.alert('This is a message', 'The Title');
This looks like this:
There are also the following alert functions which are also mean to display an icon for the alert based on the type, however in current versions of Infor CRM, the CSS hides the icon, so these will all look the same:
// info alert
Sage.UI.Dialogs.showInfo('This is an info message', 'Info Title');
// warning alert
Sage.UI.Dialogs.showWarning('This is a warning message', 'Warning Title');
// error alert
Sage.UI.Dialogs.showError('This is an error message', 'Error Title');
To display this same alert from server-side code, you can use the following
throw new Sage.Platform.Application.ValidationException("This is an error message");
Technically, this throws the exception, which is caught and the client-side alert is displayed as above.
