<p>Hi Scott,</p>
<p>Right. We do not have a special Author operation to show a
message to the end user.</p>
<p>This operation could be used to open a web page if for example
you want to present to the end user the information in a web
browser:</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/26.1/ug-editor/topics/dg-default-author-operations.html#dg-default-author-operations__openinsystemappoperation">https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/26.1/ug-editor/topics/dg-default-author-operations.html#dg-default-author-operations__openinsystemappoperation</a><br>
</p>
<p>Regards,<br>
Radu</p>

<font face="Verdana">If you're interested, here's one way to do
this. I'm sure there's a more elegant way and this is probably a
bit if a hack, but it does what I need right now.</font>
<p>1. In. your framework's Document Type dialog, on the
Author:Actions subtab, add an action to the framework, give it
an ID and a Name.<br>
2. In the Action dialog select this Operation:
ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.operations.JSOperation<br>
3. A 'script' argument will be added, leave the value empty.<br>
4. Choose OK. (Leave the Document Type dialog up for now.)<br>
5. Create a commons.js file in the root of your framework
directory, with the following content ..</p>
<p> function doOperation(){<br>
parentFrame = authorAccess.getParentFrame();<br>
javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(parentFrame,
"MESSAGE HERE");<br>
}</p>
<p>6. In the Document Type dialog, on the Author:Menu subtab, add
your new action to your menu (assuming one exists).<br>
7. Choose OK, then OK.</p>
<p>Open a document in Author view that uses your framework. You
should see the new menu item.</p>
<p>Clearly, if you're already using the commons.js file for
something else, you'll need to pass in some parameter and tweak
the JS code .. but this is a start. :-)<br>
</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

<p><font face="Verdana">Hi,</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana">Is there a built-in method for creating
an action (to call from a toolbar or menu) that displays a
simple dialog that contains informational text? I'd like to
have an "About" dialog that's associated with a framework. I
assume I can do this by creating a custom class, but wanted
to see if there was an OOB option for this.</font></p>
