Use the ConfirmToContinueMsg multi-command

Overview

The ConfirmToContinueMsg multi-command can be quite useful in eliminating accidental user button clicks.

Details

Using the ConfirmToContinueMsg multi-command with a text message produces a confirm dialog box with your specified message along with Yes\No buttons. If the user clicks No, the rest of the commands associated with that button are skipped, thus allowing the accidental click to be canceled. If the ConfirmToContineMsg multi-command is used in the [BeforeAction], it will skip the button action as well.

The ConfirmToContinueMsg multi-command is especially helpful for delete situations. For example, if the user accidentally clicks a Delete button on a form, the item would be deleted. Adding the ConfirmToContinueMsg as a before action on that button would allow the user to verify that they really meant to click the Delete button and continue with the delete process.

When designing the button, your confirm multi-command would look as shown in the following example.

When the button is clicked on a document, an additional dialog box will appear with your message and Yes/No buttons. Clicking Yes allows the rest of the button actions to continue. Clicking No stops all other actions on the button.

Another use for this multi-command is to give the user a warning before proceeding with an action, such as 'This will take several minutes to complete, do you want to proceed?'
