Windows 8 Javascript apps multiple Message alerts

Question

In my application, I need to display multiple message popups. However it doesn't work. It can be illustrated by the simple code below:

function alert(title, content) {
  try {
     var msg = new Windows.UI.Popups.MessageDialog(content, title);

    msg.showAsync();
  }
  catch (err) {
  }
}

I have a server side method which invokes this alert, at times I may have multiple alerts. There I get the following error: WinRTError: Access is denied.

Hence only 1 alert is shown and the second one goes in the catch. How to achieve multiple alerts from a windows 8 app?

Answer 1

I think you have to use Toast Notification Here is the code sample .

other wise you should chaining the message from server side. means first store particular messages in array then display one by one. and delete which message is displayed.

Answer 2

You can use promises to display popups.. like

var msg = new Windows.UI.Popups.MessageDialog(content, title);
var msg1 = new Windows.UI.Popups.MessageDialog(content, title);
var msg2 = new Windows.UI.Popups.MessageDialog(content, title);

msg.showAsync().then(function(){

return msg1.showAsync();

   }).then(function(){

return msg2.showAsync();
});
