Dialog Box...

Hi all,

I feel stupid...

I can't find a way to create a dialog box
(DIALOG API) including text boxes, check box etc...

I can do it creating a new window but it does not "act" as a dialog. For
exemple, when a window calls a dialog and the user click on the main
window system beeps.
With my solution (new window) if I click on the main window, it hides the
"dialog".

Any idea ???
Thks

do you mean the MessageRequester() command?

You can use the new 'Parent' parameter of the OpenWindow() command, it should solve most of the problems.

See this little program for another way to achieve a nice dialog box. I use it for an 'about box' that won't go when you click the main app. See 'about' in the help menu.

Great,

You're right. I didn't noticed this new parameter from the PB news so
I was still using v1.71.

Many thks.
