Well, their offered solution is not too bad actually... you just have some section in your view which becomes the "dialog box". The section can be prettied up any way you want. Then have a field in there that can be set with the message text. When you want to show the message, you set some value somewhere telling the "dialog box" to show (i.e. conditional formatting). Then you can reset the value to make it hide again.

When I tried to do this with Rules I get notification: "Dialog actions are not supported". In any way I have published form again. Then I wrote "stsadm -o verifyformtemplate ...." and get this:

DegradedFunctionality: Dialog box action is not supported by Infopath Forms Services.

When the form is viewed in Infopath, the dialog box will show. When the form is viewed using web browser, the dialog box will not show.
Dialog box actions are best used to test Rules in Infopath. If the dialog box action is not used for testing, to make sure that form is usable in Web browser, consider using conditional formatting to show and hide a section that contains the dialog box information.

This is very bad :)

Can you do it with a rule instead?

I have a browser-enabled form template in infopath 2007, wich contains this code:

....
public void btnCorrFind_Clicked(object sender, ClickedEventArgs e)
{
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Hello world");
}
....

I have published it as full trust content type... Then I write something like this:
stsadm -o verifyformtemplate -filename c:\myform.xsn and I got an error: FatalErrorNoThrow: User interface operations are not supported. Consider removing the folowing usage: System.Windows.Forms.
Is there a posibility to show some confirmation boxes or message boxes in browser-enabled form in Infopath ??????
