Error message on status bar

[Former Member]

Hi Guys

I'm doing some test about error messages. I have some questions :

1) Is there anyway to put a message on browser status bar instead in a WD view??

2) Is there any UI element with blink behavior. For example, I could put a button (or anything) that blinks whenever there is any errors??

Thanks a lot guys

For displaying messages, there is the MessageArea UI element. The status bar of a browser is not the correct way to do this.

Blinking buttons could be achieved using animated gif-files inside LinkToAction or Button elements - but who would like to see them?

Hi Armin

As I understand, the MessageArea UI permits the positioning where your message(s) should be.

I tried to find a solution for displaying message(s) without scrolling the view entirely. Let me explain.

Let suppose that the MessageArea is at the view end (which is the default). If the are many messages to be diplayed at the same time at the end of the same view, the problem is the user have to scroll down the view to see the messages(most of them do not notice that they have to scroll). What I did is to enclose the MessageArea in a ScrollContainer so that user just scroll inside container. The problem with this solution is the messages do not disappear automatically if you press a button in the same view like normal messages.

Do you have any suggestion??

Thanks a lot guys

Hi Ralph,

I dont think there is any straight forward solution for your scroll-container message issue. Maybe what you can do is to put the messages in a table which is displayed in an adjacent tab. The first tab shows the fields, and the second tab says 'Messages'. When there is an error in the field input, you give one message at the bottom that says 'There are errors, please see the messages'. Now, the user navigates to the messages tab to see the messages.

Hello Ralph

MessageArea also has such the feature that you can specify a number of messages can be displayed at the same time. The property is 'MaxVisibleMessages'. Set the property to the number of messages you want to see. If the area contains more than 'MaxVisibleMessages' it will draw a scroll container automatically to all other messages.

Maybe it'll be helpful for you.
