Validate form in an alert

[stucork]

You probably don’t want to use the built in alert buttons here. Instead you will likely want to add buttons on the form you’re using as an alert. These buttons can then have custom event handlers.

If you search the forum for x-close-alert you’ll get some relevant hits and examples.

How to close alert box in blank form

Hello there, Please I need help closing an alert box initiated from a blank form. The alert box contains a button, that when clicked runs: self.raise_event(‘x-close-alert’, 10) But the alert box doesn’t close after the button is clicked. Note: The form is a blank form.

Access buttons in alert

Excellent question. No, there is no way to access the buttons from code, sadly. But you can do what you want by explicitly removing the standard buttons from the alert (with alert(..., buttons=[]) and then including your own buttons on your custom content form. You can use the "x-close-alert" event to close the alert and return a particular value when your custom buttons are clicked. See the documentation of alerts for full details. Hope that helps!
