I'm currently recreating in REV what I used to use a Rinaldi XCMD
for... namely a listbox dialog for choosing items from a list.
The idea is to have a function
function listbox pPromptData,pListData
that puts up a window with a prompt field, and a list field. Select
and click an item or hit return or enter. Standard GUI stuff.
This would return the selected item or empty.
I've created the new window/stack, I'm using dialogData to pass the
info back and forth, and I have the function that sets up the data
and opens the window. I had figured on using wait with messages to
halt script execution until the dialog was closed, but I can't seem
to send the right message to it from the dialog closing to get it to
go to the next line of code, 'BEEP'. I also tried changing a
variable. Anyone found the best way to deal with this?
Eventually I'd like to be able do it all from a script on the fly -
create the window,fields, buttons, everything, from a text
description before display like I used to do in WindowScript... it's
all about properties, after all....
thanks...
--this is located in the stack script of the calling stack
--scrunch converts returns to VTs to get more data in dialogdata
function dialogList pPrompt,pListData
global gDialogFlag
if there is a stack "listDialog"
then
put scrunch(pPrompt) & return & scrunch(pListData) into tDialogTxt
set the dialogData to tDialogTxt
--- put the dialogData
-- exit to top
put "true" into gDialogFlag
open stack "listDialog" <------ this is the dialog
wait with messages
-- wait until gDialogFlag is "false" with messages??
beep <--------this never executes
else
answer "Can't find stack: listDialog"
exit to top
end if
return the dialogData
end dialogList
