Pop up TextEdit -- Data Entry -- Saves in readonly TextEdit on View

[Former Member]

Hi WD Gurus,

We have a readonly TextEdit for comments on our view. We have a "Add Comments" button which also has a corresponding Action method.

We need some code guidance so when user hits "Add Comments" button it should pop-up a TextEdit so user can enter new comments (should not have access to old comments). On hitting Save (may be a button on pop-up) the newly entered comments should get appended on the top of the old comments in readonly TextEdit on the view.

Help is much appreciated. We believe every answer is a help so we always reward points.

Thanks

Shahid

Using this tutorial, you can come to know how you can show dialog box and retrive value you have entered in dailog box.

After retreiving values from dialog box attache that comment to the old comments as given below.

String new_comment = wdcontext.currentcontextElement().getnewComments();

if(new_comment!= null)

{

wdcontext.currentcontextElement().setoldComments(wdcontext.currentcontextElement().getnewComments() + " " + wdcontext.currentcontextElement().getoldComments());

}
