A dialog in Microsoft Dynamics AX is a simple form with a standardized layout, created by using the Dialog system class. It’s a way to present users with a simple input form, they are commonly used for small tasks, it should NOT be used to create complex forms. It should not open a secondary window that requires user interaction. All user interaction should be carried out within the dialog.
1. Open the AOT, and create a new class with the following code, its important ro extend RunBase because the RunBase framework uses the Dialog framework to prompt a user for data input. It uses the SysLastValue framework to persist usage data and the Operation Progress framework to show operation progress:

| class CustCreateDialog extends RunBase { DialogField fieldAccount; DialogFIeld fieldName; CustTable custTable; CustAccount custAccount; } |
2. Override the method Dialog, this method will be used to give “form” to our Dialog:

| protected Object Dialog() { Dialog dialog; ; dialog = super(); // Set a title for dialog dialog.caption( 'Simple Dialog' ); // Add a new field to Dialog fieldAccount = dialog.addField( extendedTypeStr(CustVendAC), 'Customer account' ); return dialog; } |
3. Override the method getFromDialog, the code below will be used to retrieve the Dialog field values:
1

| public boolean getFromDialog() { // Retrieve values from Dialog custAccount = fieldAccount.value(); return super(); } |
4. Override the method run, use it to process whatever you want to. On my example I will use it to show the customer account information on infolog.

| public void run() { // Set Dialog field value to find CustTable custTable = CustTable::find(custAccount); if (custTable) { // Shows retrieved information info( strFmt( '%1 -- %2' , custTable.AccountNum, custTable.name())); } else { error( 'Customer Account not found!' ); } } |
5. Create a new main method to execute your class.

| public static void main(Args _args) { CustCreateDialog custCreate = new CustCreateDialog(); // Prompt the dialog, if user clicks in OK it returns true if (custCreate.prompt()) { custCreate.run(); } } |
6. Execute your class, check results.
