From an RMD file run from the R> Prompt, a simple dialog for entering license plate numbers: --SHOW DIALOG PLATE NUMBER DIALOG 'Enter a Plate number||>CCCCCCCc;0;_' vmvplateno =8 vendkey 1 + CAPTION 'Lookup Vehicle by Plate Number' + OPTION MESSAGE_FONT_NAME Courier New + |MESSAGE_FONT_SIZE 12 1. MESSAGE DISPLAY Observation: Changing the MESSAGE_FONT_SIZE changes the size of text 'Enter a Plate Number', but NOT the ||formatted input. Question: There appears to be no OPTION to craft the display of the ||formatted input DISTINCT FROM that of the message portion. Is there a PROPERTY which might be set before the DIALOG for doing this? 2. INITIAL CURSOR POSITION Observation: In this simple setup, the user clicks into the input box. The cursor sets focus at whichever position the click is made, which may be anywhere in the mask. Question: Is there a PROPERTY which might be set before the DIALOG command to force cursor focus to the first position in the mask?
