Hi Scott,
Right. We do not have a special Author operation to show a message to
the end user.
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:

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.
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.
2. In the Action dialog select this Operation:
ro.sync.ecss.extensions.commons.operations.JSOperation
3. A 'script' argument will be added, leave the value empty.
4. Choose OK. (Leave the Document Type dialog up for now.)
5. Create a commons.js file in the root of your framework directory,
with the following content ..
function doOperation(){
parentFrame = authorAccess.getParentFrame();
javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(parentFrame,
"MESSAGE HERE");
}
6. In the Document Type dialog, on the Author:Menu subtab, add your
new action to your menu (assuming one exists).
7. Choose OK, then OK.
Open a document in Author view that uses your framework. You should
see the new menu item.
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. :-)
Cheers,
Scott

Hi,
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.
Thanks!
Scott
