Eric,
Thanks for your encouragement. I have already set up a "Dialog Box Study"
folder to gather my info, experiments, examples, and experiences for a
potential tutorial. We'll see how it goes.
Thanks Again for all you help and TAKE CARE,
Ralph

If this experience could give you the idea to write a tutorial about
how to manage modal dialogs, it shoul be great and valuable for all!

Eric,
GREAT!!! Again you hit the nail on the head with exactly the info I was
seeking. The contextual menu approach opens the whole Dialog Box handling
technique for me. THANK YOU!! :-))
I spent a lot of hours on my Dialog Box problem before I came to this
mail-list. I just wish I'd found you
Hi Ralph,
Yes !!!
Just use the contextual menu on the dialog box window to set its mode
to toplevel.
I am used to click with control/option/shift on Mac OS to make the
contextual menu appear.
The same on Windows with a right click (but less keys may be
enough :-) I have got into a routine.
Eric,
Hmmm... it works great and the simple example scripts were perfect. Thank You
very, very much. :-))
Now, is there a way to open the substack (my Dialog Box) script and objects for
editing??
Also my substack does not appear in the Stack Files listing??
More Later and TAKE CARE,
Ralph

Hi Ralph,
Rev built-in "Ask" and "Answer" modal dialog use this form. It seems
to work well :-)
To understand how it works:
Create a new mainstack with a substack named myDialogBox
BTW it is always a good idea to do like that: isolate the issue in a
little stack created on the fly to unders
Eric,
Thanks for your quick response.
Unfortunately your suggestion didn't work. I tried it and also setting the
style of "myDialogBox" stack to Model just prior to the modal stack
"myDialogBox" statement.
The script did not recognize the stack as a container!?
I'm nearly at wits end on this
Hi Ralph,
Your handler will stop running only if you use the modal form:
modal stack "myDialogBox" and no modeless stack "myDialogBox" :-)
Hope this helps.
Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
