System Dialog Statements
Progress allows you to implement native color and font dialog using the SYSTEM-DIALOG COLOR and SYSTEM-DIALOG FONT statements. Using these dialogs, you can allow the user to select a color or font.
The SYSTEM-DIALOG statements provide a dialog box appropriate to the graphical environment in which they run. The SYSTEM-DIALOG statements are not valid in character interfaces.
You can also use the SYSTEM-DIALOG GET-FILE statement to enter a filename assigned to a character variable. This statement displays a native dialog box that allows you to choose an operating system file. The dialog responds to filenames differently. If the user enters a filename or relative pathname, the Windows dialog box never searches the PROPATH and always returns the full pathname of the entered relative pathname appended to the current common dialog directory.
The SYSTEM-DIALOG PRINTER-SETUP statement displays the standard print dialog box. This statement is ignored in character environments.
Table 3–8 lists the SYSTEM-DIALOG statements.
See the Progress Language Reference for more information on these statements.
