Auto close a dialog bx after selection

[Ernesto]

Hello everybody,

I am a complete newbie and need help.
I created a page from which sales department can load different documents like brochures, drawings presentations, etc. in multiple languages.
Once you click on a document a dialog box opens with the different buttons for the language. Clicking on a button will open the document in the desired language.
What I want to do is that this dialog box automatically closes after the language selection has been made.
Right now I added a "close" button to close the dialog box which I find cumbersome.

I did not find any settings or properties on the box or buttons nor do I have a clue what code to use to close the dialog box automatically after a selection has been made.
Can somebody help??

Hello Ernesto,

What type of dialog box?
Can you post the apz?

I do not even know what you mean with apz?

I created the dialog out of the menu. See below.

Thanks, looks good,
Need to see how to integrate it into my tool

Unfortunately it was not a total success.
Could incorporate your code and the required documents are opened, but the dialog did not close and the following Error mesaage appeared.

Hi Ernesto,
It would be much better if you posted your code for Button 2 & 7 and Globals instead of just a pic of error message?
Much Better post sample of your apz ( page plus dialog) as it is hard for programmers to visulize what you are actually doing wrong, the code herrin posted works perfectly
Just a side note - Did you code buttons etc with script editor or use drag and drop method or quick action?
It just seems like you have a lot of pages and dialogs, [ I once helped a chap that had 63 pages in his project - from him using quick actions and I reduced it to 10 pages with code]
Cheers

Hi Colc,

it took me a while to find out how to create a *.apz file.

And YES; I used quick actions to code buttons. I did not know how to define globals etc., this is why globals or not in.
And YES, I do have quite a number of pages. To give you an idea I put together a sample file to show how my tool was built.

Hi Colc,

I am not sure if the *.apz file was attached

Hi Ernesto ,
Yes your export was screwed up but I exported the pages & dialog and rebuild it.
You can't have quick actions and code together.
I have modified your Sample and have used 2 pages with only 1 dialog with brochures in diff lang , when the dialog opens it sets the header label to the product
then when you click a lang it opens selected product in that language by using if and elseif script.

It may seem daunting but for a large project like your's I think you will have to read the manual and learn how to code
So check out redone sample
Sampledialog2.apz
Cheers

Hi Colc,

Thanks a lot for your patience and help. The code works fine. I knew I should read the manual but I needed something quickly. This is why I started the way I did.

But again your quick and detailed help and guidance are highly appreciated and very welcome. THANK YOU

Regards
Ernesto
