The most common use of the AfterModalDialog event is when saving or deleting data objects from the Dynamic User Object Store (DUOS). For instance, if the user clicks the Delete button in the Customer Maintenance window, a modal dialog will appear, asking if the user wants to delete the customer record. Using the AfterModalDialog event, you can find out whether the user clicked the dialog’s Delete button. If so, you can delete the corresponding DUOS data object for that customer record.
