customizing the answer dialogue box

[Klaus]

Hi friends,

some clarifications:
1. Paul needs a solution for Android.
2. So all tricks with STACKS will not work for him.
3. The HTML-tricks will not work, since they will only alter the ASK and ANSWER Dalog STACKS!
4. Since we can only have ONE window (stack) open and displayed at a time on the mobile platform.
ALL stacks will open FULLSCREEN here and we cannot change this behaviour (yet?)!

I would also recommend to use goups, disguised as dialogs.
Set the layer of the group to TOP before showing, add a semitransparent background (filled graphic or whatever with blendlevel set)
to the group behind your buttons and/or fields and it will look as a dialog box and the user cannot click anywhere on the card but
on the buttons you supply in the group just like a nice custom modal dialog!

Best

Klaus

Mobile apps are limited to one window at a time and are always full screen, so you can't show one smaller stack over another. The only way to get custom dialogs on mobile is to make a group and show that on the current card.

If you will need the dialog on more than one card, you can store it as an unplaced group in the stack and then place it and remove it as needed. That saves having to maintain duplicates.

Well, least I think I understand why my solution wouldn't work. Richmond's is running on the simulator though, isn't it? Doesn't that simulator only allow what the phone would allow?

Possibly, but not with me: I just had some fun with some graphics.

Oh you sneak ...!

That didn't do much good: or at least Bluestacks didn't like it:

HOWEVER: I do NOT believe my pictures corrupted the build.
