Method blocks
Note the following:
-
I do not need the ID parameter. It is only for you to distinguish 2 dialogs with the same extension. If you don’t want to distinguish them, fill in the ID to any integer.
-
If you have set cancelable to
false, the cancelButtonText parameter will be ignored.
CustomChooseDialog
Shows a custom choose dialog. The id parameter is an ID to specify the notifier, in case you want to show two dialogs with the same extension. The title and message parameter are for specifying the title and message of this dialog respectively. When the user has tapped button1 or button2 in this dialog, the extension fires the GotCustomChooseDialog event. If it is canceled, the extension will call the CustomChooseDialogCanceled event.
Parameters: id = number (int), message = text, title = text, button1Text = text, button2Text = text, cancelButtonText = text, cancelable = boolean
ShowNumberPickerDialog
Displays a number picker dialog that enables the user to select a number from a predefined range.
Parameters: id = number (int), title = text, buttonText = text, cancelButtonText = text, message = text, minValue = number (int), maxValue = number (int), cancelable = boolean
ShowPasswordInputDialog
Shows a password input dialog. The id parameter is an ID to specify the notifier, in case you want to show two dialogs with the same extension. The title parameter is for specifying the title of this dialog. defaultText is the default text for the input in which the user will first see in the textbox when they open the dialog, and hint is the hint of that textbox. Use inputBold, inputItalic, hintColor and inputColor to customize the textbpx, and use the property blocks to specify inputFont. buttonText is the text of the OK button, while cancelButtonText is the text of the cancel button.
Parameters: id = number (int), title = text, defaultText = text, hint = text, inputBold = boolean, inputItalic = boolean, inputFont = text, hintColor = color, inputColor = color, buttonText = text, cancelButtonText = text, cancelable = boolean

Why this extension?
Currently in Niotron, we do not have a lot of options for choose dialog, text input, etc. Although you can use layouts for custom dialogs, if that increases, your app pile up like regrets. This extension is used to fill in the gaphole.
Made with Niotron IDE.
