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 understand without spoiling your
main job.
Place a button on the main stack with the following script:
on mouseUp
modal stack "myDialogBox"
put the dialogData
end mouseUp
Put another button on the substack with this script:
on mouseUp
set the dialogData to random(1000)
close this stack
end mouseUp
Run it and you will find that a random number do not appear in the
message box until you close the dialog substack :-)
Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.

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 problem.
Does anyone have documentation on setting up Dialog Boxes and/or a
working example of a Dialog Box use similar to mine?
It's surprising Rev. doesn't provide more info on this important
GUI feature. I hope it's just a matter of my not looking in the
right place rather than omission?
Thanks or any assistance.
Ralph
==================================================
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,

I have a main stack set up with;
1. a Button that;
on mouseUp
includes a few globals
does a few calculations with the globals
modeless "myDialogBox"
does a few more calculations with the dialogData
end mouseUp
2. the "myDialogBox" is a stack consisting of 1 field and
seven buttons.
the "OK"button script executes properly and delivers
the proper results to the dataDialog string
My problem is that when the button executes "myDialogBox"
comes up but the mouseUp continues on through the button
handler - it does not stop to wait for the user input into
myDialogBox and resultant dialoData string before proceeding
to the rest of my button script.
However, on my next button click it again brings up
"myDialogBox" and uses the previous dialogData for the
rest of the handler.
I suspect I may have left something out of my button
handler and/or my dialog box OK button script??
I have scanned my documentation and can't pin down
anything I've don wrong. Any help will be very much
appreciated.
Ralph
