I have spent time reading over most of the posts in this forum but am still having some trouble with dialog boxes, how to lay them out and get user input from the dialog and send the data to my attachmate screen, as i am new to extra basic.
Basically, I am wanting to get 3 values from a user from a dialog box; an int and two strings. the second string is also a long string, sometimes larger than 200 chars, so i was also wondering if there is any kind of textfield function so the user can see all that has been entered.
Once i have the three values, after validation, i would simply use the values and send them to the screen throughout various pages in attachmate after the user has clicked the ok button.
at the moment i can get the user input with inputboxes as the code runs, but it'd be easier to input all the information in one box then run the code. i was also wondering about how to declare an array of strings and step through that array comparing each string to one of the user input strings using a for loop.
any help would be greatly appreciated...
thanks
