Try Inputdialog ("~,=^StartDay = Choose a day??" ++ "TodayFormatted"
++ "|" ... ++ TodayplusSixFormatted. "title"))
Note that you need the ,=^ to avoid commas in the date strings
confusing PowerPro.
Here is a another way to do it that works for any number of days.
local d = date
local StartDay
for (local i=0; i<7; i=i+1)
local s = s ++ formatdate("longdate", date.addDays(d, i)) ++ "|"
endfor
local return = inputdialog("~,=^StartDay=Choose a
day??"++s, "DialogTitle")
There is no limit on the number of entries in the combo box. The
limit of six refers to the number of different combox boxes (or check
boxes or edit inputs). Nonetheless, I admit that PowerPro dialogs are
not that great.
