[Gambas-user] Inputbox

[Matti]

Hmm. I don't have gb2 on my machine anymore, so I can't tell why it isn't centered.
Btw: you should update to gb3, it's much better!

Example code for a ShowModal window:

Create a form FMain with just two buttons (btnCancel and btnInput).
Then create a form FInput with the Text "What's your name?", a TextBox 
(TextBox1) and two buttons (btnCancel and btnOK).

The FMain code is:

Public Sub Form_Open()
   Me.Center
End

Public Sub btnCancel_Click()
   Me.Close
End

Public Sub btnInput_Click()
   FInput.ShowModal
   If Me.Tag = "" Then
       Print "User has cancelled."
     Else
       Print "The name is " & Me.Tag & "."
   Endif
End

The FInput code is:

Public Sub btnCancel_Click()
   FMain.Tag = ""
   Me.Close
End

Public Sub btnOK_Click()
   FMain.Tag = TextBox1.Text
   Me.Close
End

Easy, isn't it?
