Alert in PyS60 is not an object like J2ME, instead it is a function (appuifw.note). So is there any way to add commands with actions for the alert? And can we show a new screen after an alert?

Could you please explain what you mean by "commands with actions for the alert"?

As for showing a new screen, of course. After the alert is shown, just display something new, like a new image on the canvas. Is that what you meant?

hi shail229
sorry but really not getting your question if you want to do anything after that alert function you can have it in your code i suppose but it will be better if you explain your question in bit detail.

Alert (appuifw.note()) comes without any command, its been shown for few seconds and then disappear. Can we make it FOREVER (like J2ME) and add commands there, and based on those command certain action can be taken.

Hi shail229,
AFAI Understand your problem, do you need a popup menu?

Example is here,

No, I don't need pop-up menu. Let me explain this problem from scratch. Suppose I have a form with a command "Ok", when I press "Ok", it does some calculation and based on the result, it shows an alert (appuifw.note()) with some message(Say "Do you want to continue?"). Now I want to put two commands on that alert (Say "Yes" and "No") and if press "Yes" it should go to a new screen and if press "No" it should stay back to the same screen.
So my intension is to use alert as a confirmation dialog (Like Alert in J2ME), is that possible in PyS60?

try this

if appuifw.query(u"Do you want to continue?","query")==True:
    print u"you pressed ok"
else:
    print u"you pressed cancel"

Thanks Versoul,
I suppose this will solve my problem for the time being. Just interested to know, can we change the label of the commands "Ok" and "Cancel" which are coming by default? Lets say can me make them "Yes" and "No".

[Versoul]

On how many I know it it is impossible.

Thanks, not a problem.
