Error dialog boxes

You post error dialog boxes in response to a failure condition that the application cannot resolve.

Error dialog boxes have the following characteristics:

  • The application name is displayed in their title bar.

  • An error symbol is displayed on the left side of the dialog box.

  • The action area contains only a Dismiss button.

  • They are modal.

For example: 

mainWindow = getAFXApp().getAFXMainWindow()
showAFXErrorDialog(mainWindow, 'An invalid value was supplied.')
