InputDialog | Android AlertDialog providing input and validation features | Android library

Extract the value from the element inside the child component's handler, and call the prop function with it:

You're trying to combine two largely-incompatible ways of doing things. State property accessors were the original way of accessing state in Bot Builder v4, but adaptive dialogs are a totally new system and they have their own way of accessing state.

Here's what's going wrong. Even though TextInput tries to assign a string to this.value, DialogStateManager.SetValue immediately converts that string to a JToken. So even if that JToken got retrieved as a string it would still be converted back to a JToken when assigning to user.profile.MobileNumber. And if user.profile has been serialized with type information then it will be deserialized as that type, which means it will get converted to a Profile object before the JToken is assigned to its MobileNumber property. You could raise this as a bug in the Bot Builder .NET GitHub repo, but be aware that you're trying to do something that goes against the design of adaptive dialogs.

If you want to use adaptive dialogs, you should be consistent about it and do everything the adaptive dialog way. It's easy to go wrong with code actions so they should be used sparingly. If the thing you're doing with a code action can be done with a different adaptive dialog action then you should use the different one because it will be incorporating builtin adaptive dialog functionality. For example, if you want to set a property then you should use SetProperty like you've seen.

If you really want to set a property in a code action then rather than using state property accessors you should do it the adaptive dialog way. Adaptive dialogs use SetValue to set their properties, so you should too. This will ensure that the data is formatted in a way that adaptive dialogs can easily consume.

In openpyxml, you can set the cell borders using the styles object. For the headers, just create a string list and enumerate the values to set the cell values.

Add this code to checkfile:

For newer excel files (xlsx), use the openpyxl module. It allows reading and writing.

Here is the updated code:

JOptionPane’s input field doesn’t provide that capability, but you can give it your own JTextField, which you must configure in advance to allow only five characters.

A JOptionPane’s message doesn’t have to be a string. As the documentation states, it can be an AWT or Swing component, in which case the component itself is displayed as the message. Also permitted is an array, which itself can contain strings and/or components. You can use this to your advantage to pass your own input field in place of the default one.

Instead of showInputDialog, you want to call showOptionDialog, which will not show an internally created input field, only your own custom message which contains your customized JTextField.

As for the customization to allow only five characters, you must create a custom Document and set a DocumentFilter on it. Your custom DocumentFilter must override the insertString and replace methods to limit the overall length of the document.

Putting it all together looks like this:

I don't think there is an answer for this question...

MainModel.mainViewModel and MainActivity.mainViewModel are different instances.

You shouldn't use ViewModel like this

You would have to create a new dialog class extending InputDialog to do this overriding createDialog to add extra controls. Something like:
