Creates, opens, and closes a page that you specify. When a page is run modally, no input, such as a keyboard or mouse click, can occur except for objects on the modal page.

[Action :=] Page.RUNMODAL

Parameters

Page

Type: Variable

After you define this variable, you can run the following page functions:

  • SETTABLEVIEW
  • SETRECORD

Unlike the PAGE.RUN Function, the variable is not automatically cleared after this function runs.

If the page that you specify does not exist, then a compile-time error occurs.

Specifies what action the user took on the page. The following table shows the possible return values for the different user actions. In some cases, the actions for the return values are different when the page displays in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client than in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client.

Remarks

If you know the specific page that you want to run when you are designing your application, then you can create a Page variable, set the Subtype of the variable to a specific page, and then use this function or the RUN Function (Page).

If you do not know the specific page that you want to run, then use the PAGE.RUN Function or the PAGE.RUNMODAL Function and specify the page in the Number parameter.

After you define the page variable, you can use it before and after you run the page. If you use the PAGE.RUN Function, then you can only use the variable before you run the page.

Example

This example shows how to use this function. Assume that the SomePage variable has been defined as Page 1.

 Copy Code
CLEAR(SomePage)
SomePage.XXX; // Any user-defined function
SomePage.SETTABLEVIEW(MyRecord);
SomePage.SETRECORD(MyRecord);
IF SomePage.RUNMODAL = Action::LookupOK THEN
  SomePage.GETRECORD(MyRecord)...
Note
This code example includes the CLEAR Function to make sure that the variable has been cleared.
