Is there an easy way I am overlooking to return data from a modal?
Something akin to:
go stack "BlahBlah" as modal
put tReturnedData
How do all of you handle that in a modal? I want a modal to return
true if followed through with or false if its canceled, so I know not
to execute the rest of script after the modal call if it was canceled.
I feel like I have done this or seen this somewhere before.
There is a global property "the dialogData" which can be used for this purpose
(both for sending data to the modal, and getting it back) and this is the
standard advice.
However in fact this is just a convention, there's nothing special about that
property except that it's not used for anything else and it has a relevant
name! So alternatively you can use a global variable, or a property of the
stack "BlahBlah", or whatever else makes sense for you.
