App.response and null

[Dmitriy K.]

Why, if the input field is empty and the user pressed the OK button, the function is not interrupted and the Else block is processed?

app.addSubMenu({ cName: "Test", cParent: "Help", nPos: 0})
app.addMenuItem({ cParent: "Test", cName: "My_button",  nPos: 2, cExec: "NumberX()", cEnable: "event.rc = (event.target != null);"});

function NumberX() 
{
		Msg = app.response(" ", " ");
		if (Msg == null) {
			app.alert("The user did not enter anything and clicked Ok");
			return;}
		else 
		{	
			app.alert("The user entered some number: " + Msg);
		}			
};

app.trustedFunction(NumberX);

The documentation says app.response returns null if the user clicks Cancel. Your user is not doing this!

Thank you, now I found it in API 

Tell me how you can handle the OK button? or for this you need to use app.execDialog ();

Just replace null in your code with ""...

I have already tried this option, but then the Cancel button and closing the window with a cross do not work correctly

[try67]

If they click OK and don't enter anything the returned value is an empty string, which is not the same as null.

You can handle both scenarios at the same time, like this:

if (Msg == null || Msg=="")

Once again, many thanks!
