OnClientButtonClicking and async/await in JS

[Miroslav]

Hello,

I have some javascript code hooked up to the RibbonBar OnClientButtonClicking event. There is a confirm() method to let the user confirm the action of the RibbonBar button. The result is a parameter for args.set_cancel(). It works nicely:

Now I want to replace the browser confirm popup box with custom jQuery dialog. But even when I use async/await and clearly see that the javascript function stops and waits for the user response, the RibbonBar goes on and continues with the action before args.set_cancel is called.

Is there a way to get around this?

Just talking to myself :D

This looks like it will solve my problem:

But in the meantime if anyone knows other solution, I would be thankful the help.

Hi Miroslav,

The best option is to upgrade to our latest release and use the newly introduced Confirm Dialog functionality. If the upgrading is not an option for some reasons, you can try with the approach given here:
