Prompt<T> Class

Definition

Defines the core behavior of prompt dialogs.

public abstract class Prompt<T> : Microsoft.Bot.Builder.Dialogs.Dialog
type Prompt<'T> = class
    inherit Dialog
Public MustInherit Class Prompt(Of T)
Inherits Dialog

Type Parameters

T

The type of value the prompt returns.

Inheritance
Prompt<T>
Derived

Remarks

When the prompt ends, it should return a T object that represents the value that was prompted for. Use Add(Dialog) or AddDialog(Dialog) to add a prompt to a dialog set or component dialog, respectively. Use PromptAsync(String, PromptOptions, CancellationToken) or BeginDialogAsync(String, Object, CancellationToken) to start the prompt. If you start a prompt from a WaterfallStep in a WaterfallDialog, then the prompt result will be available in the next step of the waterfall.

Called when a prompt dialog is pushed onto the dialog stack and is being activated.

ContinueDialogAsync(DialogContext, CancellationToken)

Called when a prompt dialog is the active dialog and the user replied with a new activity.

EndDialogAsync(ITurnContext, DialogInstance, DialogReason, CancellationToken)

OnDialogEventAsync(DialogContext, DialogEvent, CancellationToken)

Called when an event has been raised, using DialogContext.emitEvent(), by either the current dialog or a dialog that the current dialog started.

(Inherited from Dialog)
OnPostBubbleEventAsync(DialogContext, DialogEvent, CancellationToken)

Called after an event was bubbled to all parents and wasn't handled.

OnPreBubbleEventAsync(DialogContext, DialogEvent, CancellationToken)

Called before an event is bubbled to its parent.

OnPromptAsync(ITurnContext, IDictionary<String,Object>, PromptOptions, Boolean, CancellationToken)

When overridden in a derived class, prompts the user for input.

OnRecognizeAsync(ITurnContext, IDictionary<String,Object>, PromptOptions, CancellationToken)

RegisterSourceLocation(String, Int32)

Registers a cref="SourceRange"/> in the provided location.

(Inherited from Dialog)
RepromptDialogAsync(ITurnContext, DialogInstance, CancellationToken)

Called when a prompt dialog has been requested to re-prompt the user for input.

ResumeDialogAsync(DialogContext, DialogReason, Object, CancellationToken)

Called when a prompt dialog resumes being the active dialog on the dialog stack, such as when the previous active dialog on the stack completes.
