Hi Bert,

>> (other than the samples)?
You could try the ooDialog User Guide – it starts with a very simple dialog,
explains what you have to do to get things like push buttons to show and accept
input, and builds up slowly to more complex dialogs. The completed dialogs are
also provided.
The Guide is in two parts – a doc and worked examples.
The doc is at c:\Program Files\ooRexx\doc\oodguide.pdf
The worked examples (or “exercises”) referred to in the Guide are at:
C:\Program Files\ooRexx\samples\oodialog\userGuide\exercises
Note: later exercises require ooDialog 4.2.4 (the ooRexx distribution has
4.2.3).
As I mentioned, if you send me a picture of how you think your required dialog
might look (or a detailed text description), I’ll see if I can knock up at
least an initial example for you. Here is an example of such a picture (font
should be monospaced – I’ve used Courier):

The three squares represent say radio buttons or check boxes where selecting
one would de-select the others (assuming that’s what’s required).

Subject: [Oorexx-users] AskDialog and placement of Dialog
Hello Oliver,
Thank you for your reply and information about AskDialog. As I was saying I am
learning by looking at the samples. Do you have any suggestions on where to
learn about using ooRexx dialogs (other than the samples)?
As for using radio buttons, instead is there a dialog I can create that looks
like the AskDialog, but is a dialog supporting positions? Basically, what I
need is a way to insert text and have a "yes" | "no" type of buttons. They
could be "Toggle" | "close" or "yes" | "close."
Can a radio dialog not have an array of selections? Just the text and the
buttons?
Just trying to come up with something based upon my limited understanding of
the samples.
Thanks :-)
Bert.
