Posted on by 73
Hi Experts
 
I'm using following code to display an input dialogue box. It apparently works fine.
 
But I want it to show some part of message in next line, so that I have clarity while reading the input message.
 
Tried using </br> but that doesn't help.
 
Please help
Thanks in Advance 🙏
 
The code I'm using is - 
 
Display.InputDialog Title: $'''Which bill is this...''' Message: $'''1 - BSES ; 2 - DJB ; 3 - IGL ; 4 - MF ; 5 - Purchases ; 6 - Stocks</br>0 - Statements or Correct Name''' InputType: Display.InputType.SingleLine IsTopMost: False UserInput=> BType

    I think you need to use "Display custom form". 
    Display input dialog -action I think has the text block to be just one line of text.
    Custom form you can modify bit more:


    Code:
    @@statistics_TextBlock: '2'
    @@statistics_Input_Text: '1'
    @@statistics_Action_Submit: '2'
    Display.ShowCustomDialog CardTemplateJson: '''{
      \"type\": \"AdaptiveCard\",
      \"version\": \"1.4\",
      \"id\": \"AdaptiveCard\",
      \"body\": [
        {
          \"type\": \"TextBlock\",
          \"id\": \"Text block\",
          \"text\": \"${Text_block_Text}\"
        },
        {
          \"type\": \"TextBlock\",
          \"id\": \"Text block2\",
          \"text\": \"${Text_block2_Text}\"
        },
        {
          \"type\": \"Input.Text\",
          \"id\": \"Text input\"
        }
      ],
      \"actions\": [
        {
          \"type\": \"Action.Submit\",
          \"id\": \"Ok\",
          \"title\": \"${Ok_Title}\"
        },
        {
          \"type\": \"Action.Submit\",
          \"id\": \"Cancel\",
          \"title\": \"${Cancel_Title}\"
        }
      ]
    }''' CustomFormData=> CustomFormData ButtonPressed=> ButtonPressed @Text_block_Text: $'''1 - BSES; 2 - DJB; 3 - IGL; 4 - MF; 5 - Purchases; 6 - Stocks''' @Text_block2_Text: $'''0 - Statements or Correct Name''' @Ok_Title: $'''Ok''' @Cancel_Title: $'''Cancel'''

    There is challenge with the solution - How to use the input (Text or Number) for the next process. it's giving error.
     
    @@statistics_TextBlock: '2'
    @@statistics_Input_Number: '1'
    @@statistics_Action_Submit: '1'
    Display.ShowCustomDialog CardTemplateJson: '''{
      \"type\": \"AdaptiveCard\",

          \"id\": \"Text block\",
          \"text\": \"${Text_block_Text}\"
        },
        {
          \"type\": \"TextBlock\",
          \"id\": \"Text block2\",
          \"text\": \"${Text_block2_Text}\"
        },
        {

      ],

    I think the problem is with the if condition. If I understand correctly you want to have if condition to check which input the person gave. So something like this:



    Try this:
    @@statistics_TextBlock: '2'
    @@statistics_Input_Number: '1'
    @@statistics_Action_Submit: '1'
    Display.ShowCustomDialog CardTemplateJson: '''{
      \"type\": \"AdaptiveCard\",
      \"version\": \"1.4\",
      \"id\": \"AdaptiveCard\",
      \"body\": [
        {
          \"type\": \"TextBlock\",
          \"id\": \"Text block\",
          \"text\": \"${Text_block_Text}\"
        },
        {
          \"type\": \"TextBlock\",
          \"id\": \"Text block2\",
          \"text\": \"${Text_block2_Text}\"
        },
        {
          \"type\": \"Input.Number\",
          \"id\": \"Number input\"
        }
      ],
      \"actions\": [
        {
          \"type\": \"Action.Submit\",
          \"id\": \"Submit\",
          \"title\": \"${Submit_Title}\"
        }
      ],
      \"FormTitle\": \"${AdaptiveCard_FormTitle}\"
    }''' CustomFormData=> BType @AdaptiveCard_FormTitle: $'''BType''' @Text_block_Text: $'''0 - Statements or Correct Name''' @Text_block2_Text: $'''1 - BSES ; 2 - DJB ; 3 - IGL ; 4 - MF ; 5 - Purchases ; 6 - Stocks''' @Submit_Title: $'''Ok'''
    IF Contains(BType['Number input'], 1, False) THEN
        SET NewVar3 TO $'''selected 1'''
    ELSE IF Contains(BType['Number input'], 2, False) THEN
        SET NewVar3 TO $'''selected 2'''
    ELSE IF Contains(BType['Number input'], 3, False) THEN
        SET NewVar3 TO $'''selected 3'''
    END


    Or you can modify it to be choices to avoid user input error. So user wont accidentally put "BSES" or 9 when the logic expects numbers numbers and doesn't have numbers up to 9.


    Or if you want one condition to check if user selected options 1-3 then like so:


    Code:
    @@statistics_Input_ChoiceSet: '1'
    @@statistics_Action_Submit: '1'
    Display.ShowCustomDialog CardTemplateJson: '''{
      \"type\": \"AdaptiveCard\",
      \"version\": \"1.4\",
      \"id\": \"AdaptiveCard\",
      \"body\": [
        {
          \"type\": \"Input.ChoiceSet\",
          \"id\": \"Choice set input\",
          \"style\": \"compact\",
          \"isMultiSelect\": false,
          \"choices\": [
            {
              \"title\": \"0 - Statements or Correct Name\",
              \"value\": \"0\"
            },
            {
              \"title\": \"1 - BSES\",
              \"value\": \"1\"
            },
            {
              \"title\": \"2 - DJB\",
              \"value\": \"2\"
            },
            {
              \"title\": \"3 - IGL\",
              \"value\": \"3\"
            }
          ]
        }
      ],
      \"actions\": [
        {
          \"type\": \"Action.Submit\",
          \"id\": \"Submit\",
          \"title\": \"${Submit_Title}\"
        }
      ],
      \"FormTitle\": \"${AdaptiveCard_FormTitle}\"
    }''' CustomFormData=> BType @AdaptiveCard_FormTitle: $'''BType''' @Submit_Title: $'''Ok'''
    IF (BType['Choice set input'] = 1 OR BType['Choice set input'] = 2 OR BType['Choice set input'] = 3) = True THEN
        SET SelectedValue TO $'''selected 1-3'''
    ELSE
        SET SelectedValue TO $'''selected 0'''
    END
