Dialogs can range from the simple builtin ones dabo has to retrieve an int or a string or display a message to some that are as massive and complex as main forms. In fact, when you set a dForm's property to be modal it actually instantiates a dDialog. Just make sure to pass the property in the constructor or it won't work. You can add bizobjs to a dDialog just like a normal form. Check out the dOkCancelDialog as it will automatically add the ok/cancel controls for you. I will make a note to include the construction of a complex dialog in the book example I am working on... > > Bill. > > [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/dabo-users/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
