MsgBox use

Hello,

I would like to show a message box with a status message and would like to terminate the load if necessary.

I looked in the manual and found the function msgbox:







Noconcatenate

MsgBox

('Message ... Continue?', 'msgbox', 'OKCANCEL', 'ICONASTERISK') as TestContinue

autogenerate

------

I expect that a value representing the button the user chose is stored somewhere. Can somebody tell me how to get to that value?

Thanks,

Paul.

Paul,

Search help on 'msgbox' for details. The resposnes are returned as integers like this:

response = msgbox('Continue?', 'Question', 'YESNO');

if $(response) = '7' then // no
......
else
......
end if;

Regards,

Gordon

Thanks Gordon,

Your approach works.

Could find info in help on properties of msgbox, but no usable example of retrieving.

Great to have a community for these simple problems.

Paul.
