BUILDER DIALOG BOXES
Dialog Boxes in Builder are Simply General Purpose Windows. They
Can be Used for Virtually Any Purpose Desired.
A Builder Dialog Box is a Set of Screen Displays (@..SAYS) and,
Optionally, Keyboard Inputs (@..GETs).
Builder Dialog Boxes Can be Used to Display an Explanation and Prompt
Before a Report, Get a Date Range for a Report, Get Batch Control
Information, or Anything Else You Can Imagine.
To create a GET with as a drop down list simply enter @DROPDOWN:{...}
into the Builder picture field, that's all, Builder does the rest.
You Can Easily Put a Menu In the GETs of a Dialog Box by Entering
@MENU:{...} in the Builder Picture Field. Access to a Memo Field is
Just as Simple, Enter @MEMO Into the Builder Picture Field When Creating
the Dialog Box. (@DROPDOWN and @MENU are Only Available to Clipper 5.x
Style Code)
If the GET Variable Field Has a Corresponding Data Dictionary Entry, the
Variable Will be Scoped if It is a Memory Variable, or Not Scoped
if It is the Memory Variable Associated With a Field Variable. NOT USING THE
DATA DICTIONARY WILL GENERATE SOME UNSCOPED VARIABLES IN DIALOG BOXES!
