User confirm

Function Syntax

boolean user_confirm(string message )

boolean user_confirm(string message ,int timeOutMillis ,boolean defaultValue )

• message is the text to display in the confirmation pop-up
• timeOutMillis the length of time to display the dialog, in milliseconds
• message the value to return if the user does not choose an input before timeOutMillis ms

Presents the user with a pop-up dialog box with the text in message (can use escaped characters, such as "\n" for a newline); returns true if the user selects "Yes" and false if the user selects "No."

If you wish for the dialog to "time out" and return a default value if the user does not select an option, use the three-parameter version.

Please use these sparingly, as it can defeat the purpose of scripting if the user must constantly provide information during execution.

Code Sample

A check to see if the user truly wants to execute a script.

if (!user_confirm("Are you sure you want to proceed with executing this script?") )
{
   abort("Script execution canceled by user.");
}
