# Alert dialog: Controlled

> Pass `open` and `onOpenChange` to open it from code, without a trigger. Focus still lands on Cancel.

Example: https://hextaui.com/docs/alert-dialog/examples/controlled
Component docs: https://hextaui.com/docs/alert-dialog.md

## Add this example

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/alert-dialog-controlled.json
```

This adds `components/examples/alert-dialog/controlled.tsx` with the Alert dialog component and the HextaUI theme tokens.
