Will you both be at the conference? I'd like to see how this was accomplished. I believe I would find this useful.

If you look at the parameter information of the function, you can see that you can specify one, two, or three buttons and capture the result in an RBase Integer. It is not as daunting as it looks to use it with the DLCall function. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank Taylor" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 22, 2011 11:00 AM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Disappearing Dialog I am having an issue with one of my scanning forms that has a button that the user will click on and then a Dialog box comes up telling the user to hit continue when scan is done or cancel. While the dialog form is up if the user clicks on something else, like email or will open a document, when they click back on RBase, 50% of the time the Dialog goes behind the form. I have instructed them to hit Alt-Tab, Alt-Tab to get the dialog to the front of the screen, but if they do not know the dialog is there they will start clicking on the form, which causes it to not respond and crash the application. Does anyone have any input on this or a different way of doing what I need without having dialogs getting lost ? I just tried this on V9.1.4.10822 and it would still go behind the form randomly when I launched another program. -- Frank Frank Taylor - Information Technology Administrator F.J.
