gwa.app.updateDialog()

Checks the version of the loaded application against the server version and prompts the user to update if required.

Syntax

FUNCTION updateDialog(reportWhenUpToDate BOOLEAN)
   RETURNS gwa.app.TUpdateDialogResult type
  1. If reportWhenUpToDate returns TRUE, a message box displays that the application is up to date.
It returns a gwa.app.TUpdateDialogResult record about the update success.

Usage

Use the gwa.app.updateDialog() method when you want to implement a user-driven update. The method checks if the application is up to date by calling the gwa.app.checkUpToDate() method internally. When the loaded version differs from the server version, a dialog is displayed that prompts the user for action to update or cancel. Otherwise, a message box displays that the application is up to date.

For a complete example, run the GWA "update" demo in your GWA installation directory. If installed in FGLDIR, you will find the demo in $FGLDIR/demo/update or if installed in a separate directory, you will find it in gwa-install-dir/demo/update.
