What is the best way to use message box for instruction only for user to tell what to do (change a user view for example) without freezing everything else and user can then hit OK to proceed to the next steps?
re: modeless form
If you have an NX author license, you can create a "modeless" form; these types of forms will allow you to work with the main program while they are open. All the form examples on this site are dialog boxes (or "modal" forms) that must be responded to before resuming use of the main program. This is one of the limitations of journals vs. compiled code.
NX also has a "blockstyler" module (license required) that allows you to create dialogs like those used within NX. If there is a command that works similarly to your desired workflow, the blockstyler *should* allow you to create a custom version.
Great idea. I have used both
Great idea. I have used both blockstyler and Win form. I believe that will work. Thanks!
