Instructions

First create a public custom property in the ArchestrA graphic that can be used in a script to determine whether or not the action should be completed:

 

 

Next create a button that uses the Microsoft message box confirmation aa below and capture the result into the Custom Property:

 

 

dim res as System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult;

res = System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Do you want to proceed","Confirmation Window",System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon.Question);

result = res;

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

When you click on the button at Runtime it will create a confirmation message box as below:

 

 

When "Yes" is selected it will change the custom property at which point you could allow the original requested modification to occur and then set the custom property back to its original value.
