How to get a user input during a keyword test

I have a requirement where in the middle of a keyword test, i need to get a user entry with simple options (yes or no).

Depending upon the user entry, i can use an if statement to run the tests accordingly.

How can this be done using Keyword Tests inside TestComplete?

The UI for the user entry can be very simple and just have yes or no option.

Kindly guide me..

You need to write Script and drag/drop it in your KeywordTests.

You can implement the BuiltIn.MessageDlg Method | TestComplete Documentation and store the result in variable https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/program-objects/variables/addvariable.html to use in your if statement.

rraghvani and Hassan_Ballan , Thank you both for your valuable guidance.
I was able to achieve the requirement using call object and messagedlg method in Keyword Test as shown below
I am getting the value stored in a variable based on the option selected in the message box. And also used if conditions to further develop my test based on the button selected. Thank you once again.
