dialogArguments difference?
Hello, what is the difference between the two which shall we use when working with dialog forms? window.parent.dialogArguments window.frameElement.dialogArguments
Forum Discussion
For generic use cases, all of these dialog calls will do more or less the same job. Inside Innovator you will see even more variants.
You will note the difference if you have more complex tasks:
- You want to call a second dialog from your initial dialog. Which one shall be displayed on the top? Where do you get your arguments from? The initial first dialog call or the second dialog?
- You want a dialog that overlaps everything, so users need to solve the dialog first.
- You want a dialog that doesn´t overlap everything (so users can still go to other Innovator tabs)
- For very big dialogues: Show the dialog on top of Innovator. Some of the calls show the dialog inside the Form frame only, so you cannot use the full screen size.
- ....
Most of the time I use window.frameElement.dialogArguments .
Edit: I noticed that you just asked about dialogArguments, while my answer more refers to dialog calls in general.
