Steve -
Did you try the Plugin on the Utilities menu (see my notes below)? It's really helpful and it builds the syntax for you. If you still need help, feel free to post the details of what you're trying to accomplish here and someone will help you out. Using your example way below, here is one you might try: DIALOG 'Enter an Invoice number ...' vResponse vEndKey 1 + CAPTION 'The cool Invoice number getter ...' + ICON CONFIRM + OPTION BUTTON_OK_CAPTION &Continue|+ BUTTON_CANCEL_CAPTION &Nevermind But don't wait for me - I'm off to New York, New York and Broadway & Pink Martini - won't have a computer anywhere around till late Monday .. What a treat this will be!

I am begining to understand Thanks -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Sami Aaron Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2008 9:38 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: DIALOG BOX CONTROL Steve - You can use whatever words you want on the buttons - like "Continue" and "Cancel" - or "Okeedokee" and "Fegetabboutit" but the right button will always return 'Yes' and the left button will always return 'No'. As a helpful tool to learn this syntax, look on the main R:BASE menu under Utilities / Plugins / Dialog with Buttons Builder. Select all the prompts you want on the first two tabs, then press "Build" and see the syntax on the last tab. DIALOG 'Type Message Here ...' vResponse vEndKey YES + CAPTION 'Type Caption Here ...' + ICON ATTENTION + OPTION BUTTON_YES_CAPTION OkeeDokee+ |BUTTON_NO_CAPTION Fegetabboutit If vResponse = 'Yes' THEN --the user selected "OkeeDokee" ELSE --the user selected "Fegetabboutit" ENDIF Sami ____________________________ Sami Aaron Software Management Specialists 913-915-1971 [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Breen Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2008 6:13 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: DIALOG BOX CONTROL Buddy If you click the ok or cancel button on the dialog box does it set a variable such as vkey or how do they function? I understand the function of vkey and last key just not the dialog button output or response Steve -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Walker, Buddy Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2008 7:03 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: DIALOG BOX CONTROL Steve You can check the variable vkey If vkey = '[esc]' or vinv# then Whatever.. Endif You could also check to see if vinv# is null Buddy _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Breen Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2008 5:15 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - DIALOG BOX CONTROL In 6.5 plus a dialog box did not have options such as ok and cancel. Now that the do I am not sure how to control their input results in the code. IE: using mouse to select the "cancel" option Please offer any suggestions Steve -- get_inv_number.rmd LABEL loop CLEAR VAR vinv# DIALOG 'Enter A Invoice Number or ESC to exit (CDIINV):' vinv#=10 vkey 1 IF (LASTKEY(0)) = '[esc]' THEN GOTO finish ENDIF IF (LASTKEY(0)) = '[cancel]' THEN GOTO finish ENDIF CLEAR VAR vpon SET VAR vpon = pon FROM master WHERE cdiinv = .vinv# IF vpon IS NULL THEN RUN errmsg.rmd USING 'Invoice Number Not found' GOTO loop ENDIF PRINT final_billing WHERE cdiinv = .vinv# LABEL finish RETURN Stephen Breen CDI Services, Inc.
