DIALOG-BOX Widget
A dialog box is a special type of frame that is displayed in its own window. A dialog box differs from a window in two major respects:
You can specify that a frame be displayed as a dialog box by using the VIEW-AS phrase. You can create a dynamic dialog box with the CREATE Widget statement.
A dialog box can contain a frame family acting as the root frame. However a dialog box cannot be a child of another frame or dialog box; it can only be parented by a window.
The following dialog box contains:
ATTRIBUTES
METHODS
EVENTS
NOTE
Generally, your application must wait to complete dialog box input before continuing with other processing. However, the WAIT-FOR statement for the procedure can also respond to an event for a procedure handle as long as the widget in the WAIT-FOR statement widget list is a procedure handle.
