Messagebox and the use of await

[CemKoese]

Hello,

i have an issue with the code displayed in the Wiki:

let msgBoxResult = await brixxApi.messageBox({
     title: "sampel title",
     text: "sampel text",    ....


I changed the "let msgBoxResult = brixxApi.messageBox" to
"let msgBoxResult = app.messageBox".

As far as i know, we shouldn´t need the "await" anymore, if we use "app." instead of "brixxApi.".

Unfortunately it does not work without the "await", when i combine it with a
app.compose Email.


Here is my full code:

let sendMail = await app.messageBox({
    title: "Email Versenden?",
    buttons:[
        {
        title: "Ja",
        value: "1"
        },
        {
        title: "Nein!",
        value: "2"
        }
    ]
});


if(sendMail == 1){
    app.composeEmail({
    text: "the text",
    to:["email"],
    subject: "Subject",
    from: "fromMailAddress",
    autoSend: true,
    attachmentBlobs: [
        {
        name: "",
        blob: myBlob = app.createReport("reportControl")
        }
    ],
});
}




Is it intended, that we still need the await here?

Hi Cem,

you don't need an await in your case, as in most cases.
The issue here is an incorrect syntax in the compose statement. Actually, the wiki page had a wrong example.  You have to remove the "myBlob =". I fixed the wiki page


attachmentBlobs: [
        {
        name: "",
        blob: app.createReport("reportControl")
        }
    ],

Thank you Volker,

afterwards i tried a different appraoch, as you said the await was not the problem.

Problem solved.
