There are times when the output of a dialog should not go directly to a database. You may want to email the entry, for example. Here is how you would do that, assuming that once again you are starting with our Simple Dialog example.

Web publishing applications only. The problem is the following. You have selected a record in a grid and now want to display it in a separate page containing dialog component.

The pop-up help can also be displayed when the user presses a button on your dialog.

If you Grid does a callback that takes some time (e.g. searching a large database), you might want to put up a custom 'working...' message.

This example shows how you can do this for a search, but there are client side events that would enable you to put up custom messages for many different types of actions, including sorting, page navigation, saving data, etc.
